Chapter 1336 - The Truth of the Godslayer (1/2)

Hao Ren began to speak his mind.

“Gods cannot deny themselves. Otherwise, all things depending on their existence would collapse. There is meaning in every word and deed. Even their ideas interfere with the truth of the universe,” Hao Ren said slowly before he sighed. “This was probably the dilemma of the goddess of creation.”

“Huh, it’s such trouble being a god. She couldn’t even speak her mind. Is she still omnipotent then?” Lily blinked.

Raven 12345, a professionally trained goddess, did not have these problems. The biggest reason why the goddess of creation made such a mess was the fact that she had never gone to school, Hao Ren thought. But it was not the time to mention such a thing. He sighed.

“That should be very close to the truth,” said Y’zaks with a helpless expression on his face. “The goddess of creation was still planning to kill herself right up to the last moment of her life. I can’t imagine what realization could cause a goddess to make such a sacrifice. She had sacrificed almost everything for the order of the world, creating life with her power, and finally using all her efforts to plan her suicide.”

“And even when she did this, her plan was still undermined.” Hao Ren shook his head. “The change of the First Borns and the Guardian Giants was outside her plan. Now I’m wondering what the Creation Engine’s all about. The Guardian Giants’ narrative is that the goddess of creation has been making that Creation Engine for thousands of years before her fall. When the deicidal war broke out, her work abruptly stopped, and then the Gilded Discs were scattered in the Plane of Dreams. If the goddess was about to commit suicide in the first place, why did she still want to create the Creation Engine? If the engine is more important, she could wait for the completion of the engine. Why would she allow the deicidal war to happen? All these are contradictory.”

“Perhaps the goddess of creation suddenly began to recall the memory of the Mad Lord halfway through the making of the Creation Engine.” Nangong Wuyue, who had been silent all this while, raised her tail slightly. “She realized that this sudden recovery of memory was more dangerous, so she put aside the Creation Engine and began to plan for her death.”

“It’s a fact that the deicidal race was tempted.” At this time, Muru, who had been in a gloomy mood, suddenly broke the silence. What Asurmen said shocked him. Emotionally, it was hard to accept. But Muru knew in his mind that the information was credible, so he could only join the discussion with the assumption that the information was true. “The temptation and the fall did not happen overnight. Wuyue’s speculation might not true.”

The discussion fell into a stalemate for a time.

Asurmen’s information had rendered the previous investigation outcome doubtful. It might not be completely disruptive, but now doubts and loopholes had appeared in the otherwise perfect theory. The actions of the goddess of creation during that period were the most contradictory.

The goddess acquiesced or connived. But after the start of the deicidal war, she was caught off guard. She was building the Creation Engine, but her new plan had interrupted everything before she could finish the engine. She began to remember about the Mad Lord but did not realize that the power of the Mad Lord had leaked out. So when she died, the First Borns caused an extinction-level disaster.

Other than this apparent contradictions, Hao Ren had also felt something amiss.

Since the goddess of creation loved all her creations, this naturally included the deicidal race too. It did not matter if the deicidal race had degenerated, the goddess refused to give them up. If the goddess of creation had acquiesced or connived in the deicidal event, then she was essentially watching her creation being tempted and corrupted but doing nothing to stop it. The deicidal race became an evil species. She may have caused these “children” of hers to become the god killers.

The deicidal race might be hateful, but it would also mean that they were mere pawns and victims, and the culprit was the mother.

This thought was disruptive. But as an inspector who had witnessed countless times of life and death, Hao Ren knew that he should not taint his judgment with personal feeling, likes, and dislikes. So he quietly put the thought at the back of his mind until there were more revelations.

Something suddenly crossed Hao Ren’s mind. He quickly opened the dimensional pocket and took out a storage box of dangerous items. “Asurmen, do you know what this is?” he asked.

The box opened silently. Shrouded in faint blue light, a black sword, seemingly a cosmic fragment, slowly floated up in the anti-gravity field.
