Chapter 1340 - Vivian’s Concern (2/2)

Hao Ren looked up and saw a small dot quickly grew large in his vision and it turned out to be a swarm of bats. The bats flew over the open space behind the house and circled in the air a couple of times before they finally form-shifted back into the body of Vivian.

“Just got back from a ‘stroll’?” Hao Ren quipped.

“Just flew around for a while.” Vivian floated up to him like a fog. “What are you doing here? In a bad mood? Had strange dreams again?”

While still thinking of how to explain away his presence at the back of the house, Vivian’s words of concern startled him. Hao Ren was touched.

“Yeah, I was dreaming again,” Hao Ren replied. “I can’t sleep now.”

“You’re stressed.” Vivian looked into Hao Ren’s eyes. “Don’t lie, I can see it. I’ve lived for 10,000 years, and I’m not dumb like Lily.”

Hao Ren looked at Vivian’s bloodred eyes. He knew he could not hide it from her. He nodded and looked a little depressed. “I can’t hide it from you. The truth I discovered in Collow has disturbed me. I’ve just had a bunch of strange dreams, which I’m afraid has something to do with the truth.”

“You are disturbed to know that the goddess of creation may be the mastermind of the deicidal plan? Or is it because the Mad Lord may be more difficult to deal with than expected?”

“Both are also true,” Hao Ren nodded. “But more of the overturn of my previous theories. I feel that things are a bit out of control now. You know, I don’t like the loss of control.”

“In my opinion, the plan of the goddess of creation was out of control since the beginning. When she decided to delete her memory to contain the Mad Lord, she had lost control.” Vivian sighed. Of course, she knew that Hao Ren was talking about the loss of control in another aspect, but Vivian still dragged the goddess of creation into the picture. “I think she never succeeded in isolating her memories. Even though she may not have been aware of it, those memories had been affecting her the entire time.”

Hao Ren looked at Vivian curiously. “What have you found?”

“The wardens in Collow and the guardian giants are different in terms of the ‘material,’ but they look alike in other aspects. The crystal disc in Collow is obviously the Gilded Disc. The Ark of the Sacred Covenant, no matter how you look at it, is the prototype of the Creation Engine. If the goddess of creation had sealed her memory completely, how did she make the second generation of those things? So I think about her memory of the last era still lingered in her subconscious mind. These remnants of her subconsciousness were probably causing things to deteriorate.”

Vivian detailed her analysis. Her bloodred eyes were filled with a sense of seriousness. She apparently had been seriously thinking about these matters all the while.

“You have surprised me with your analysis.” Hao Ren said.

“I just want to tell you that you’re not the only person who are facing these things. At least you have me to share the burden with you,” Vivian said with a smile.

“Even the seemingly confused Doggie had come to me to discuss the Plane of Planes. But her opinion is usually not useless; it’s all novelist’s ideas,” Vivian said in a way as if she wanted to steer away from the original conversation.

“Lily also thinks about it? That’s really a surprise.” Hao Ren laughed.

“Doggie has many ideas,” Vivian said. “But most of them are not for normal people’s consumption.”

Normal people? When did his house has a normal person? Hao Ren thought to himself. He nodded to Vivian and said, “Thank you, I feel more relaxed now. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t be bothered by those things.”

“If so, let’s go back to sleep.” Vivian blinked. Her eyes had restored to the black eyes of a human. “Do you need me to hypnotize you?”

“Have you forgotten that your blood magic doesn’t work on me?” Hao Ren quipped.

Vivian raised her fist in the air with a sly smile. “I mean hypnotize you using this.”

Hao Ren was dumbstruck.
