“The memory of the goddess of creation is the key to open the prison gate?” Even a person as steady as Y’zaks could not hide his astonishment. “So she ‘deleted’ her memory to permanently lock the prison?”

“Yes, exactly.” Asurmen’s voice was as flat as ever. “It was a last resort. You probably can’t imagine how powerful and weird the Mad Lord is. In fact, it’s almost impossible to completely eliminate it. The Mad Lord represents the origin of the universe and is the initial data of everything. It would be impossible to destroy the Mad Lord without also destroying the universe. So the goddess of creation could only strip its power and seal it permanently.”

Lily impatiently asked, “Why would she want to leave a key in the first place when she knew she would go through all the trouble to delete it?”

“Because it was unavoidable. The goddess of creation didn’t leave a key behind. After she completed the sealing, her memory became the key, a hidden danger, which the Mad Lord could use to get away.”

Hao Ren’s brows were knitted together as the knowledge he learned from Raven 12345 came to mind. “Is it because of the information entanglement of true gods?”

“It seems that you are truly the messenger of the true God. No ordinary person would have such knowledge.” Asurmen’s words were a confirmation of Hao Ren’s identity. “Yes, the memory of the goddess of creation became the power carrier of the Mad Lord. A true god’s influence on the world is so strong that even if she just remembers the name ‘Mad Lord,’ the shadow of the mad Lord will remain in the background radiation of the universe. In this case, her memory became the biggest vulnerability of the entire prison system. To eliminate this vulnerability, she could only ‘strip’ the memory from her mind.”

“I can’t believe it!” Hao Ren was astonished. “She won, but her power also became a stumbling block.”

What Hao Ren meant was that the goddess of creation had failed to control her power, but he did not say it out.

The MDT knew what was in Hao Ren’s mind. It sighed within their mind connection. “It’s a shame that she didn’t go to school.”

Hao Ren was dumbfounded.

“Who knows about this?” Vivian looked at the glow in the crystal. “As far as I know, the contemporary Guardian Giants and the First Borns know nothing about this matter. We did not find any clues about it in the other part of the universe.”

“The goddess of creation deleted all the clues. Even if she didn’t, the clues should have already faded away over the years. We are the only ones who know about this incident; the Denizens of the Stars retain a complete heritage of memory.”

Hao Ren nodded; he finally understood. The Denizens of the Stars were essentially a life form born from the remnant of the Mad Lord’s power. They not only lived in the order but are also inseparable from the Mad Lord. As a race connected to the Mad Lord since the beginning, they were the only insiders and keeper of secrets. The Denizens of the Stars had unique adaptability to anything concerning the Mad Lord. They were the jailers, sentinels, and memory bank.

The memory deletion of the goddess of creation could be seen as the dividing line between two periods in the Plane of Dreams, and the Denizens of the Stars were the witnesses. They had lived through three periods of the Plane of Dreams: the dark ages of the Mad Lord’s terrorizing rule; the introduction of Order to the universe until the deletion of the goddess’ memory; and the pastoral age of an awakened goddess of creation, who created lives until her death. The pastoral age was the best time in the Plane of Dreams, where lives were thriving, and the world was peaceful. But people had no idea of the darkness of the universe and the horror of the future.

Ignorance was bliss.

Perhaps now the world was in its fourth period, Hao Ren thought. The goddess of creation was dead, things were withering, and the shadow of the Mad Lord was looming as it planned to make a comeback. The future of this world was uncertain, turbulent, and shrouded in a fog of uneasiness. If Hao Ren failed, the history of the Plane of Dreams would end in this fourth stage.

“So, only the Denizens of the Stars know the truth of this history. Even the goddess of creation has forgotten those glorious eras.” Vivian had a weird expression on her face. “When she woke up on the Star of Creation, she had returned to her ‘childhood’, starting to create life, and explore the universe again, while you guys were hidden behind the scenes. Even if you met her again—”
