After uploading reports to Raven 12345, Hao Ren brought Vivian and Lily to the divine realm the next day.
He brought Vivian because of her unusual relationship with the goddess of creation, and Lily because he wanted to find out what Doggoblast was all about.
In a pavilion in the “heavenly garden”, Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a wacky expression on her face as she poured Hao Ren a cup of black tea. “If I didn’t have a sharp mind, I would have suspected that you created false evidence, using a thrilling story to cover up your unproductivity. What’s wrong with you? I just asked you to find a crystal, but you created such an incident.”
Hao Ren could only smile in embarrassment as Raven 12345 took a dig at him. The MDT was showing a few pinned posts in the local universe forum: Tunalar, the songstress; Model, the celestial singer; Aviana, the stellar artiste; and Galazur, the dragon queen had high praise for the new Inspector Hao Ren after completing their last joint operation. They had never experienced such an exciting encounter even though they had been inspectors for thousands of years. In the course of a meeting, Hao Ren had blown up a demigod of the other world, well-deserving the Bomb Maniac title.
As if these gang of inspectors had nothing better to do, they seemed to enjoy calling Hao Ren with that epithet. Thanks to these guys, he found the epithet Bomb Maniac in a theological textbook when he casually browsed through the information material of some civilization. The title had become a principal subject of cosmic sociology. That civilization sphere believed in Raven 12345, and one of the basic requirements to pass the graduation exam was to recite the ‘sacred title’ of all popes in the whole universe.
Fortunately, those names were all transliterated. Otherwise, Hao Ren would be embarrassed to high heaven.
These wild thoughts briefly crossed his mind. Hao Ren’s mouth twitched as he said, “I couldn’t believe it myself at first, but the information isn’t fake. The goddess of creation created Lockmarton, who was the first life she created. He was a super demigod with god-like characteristics and was the first creature infected by the Mad Lord. The goddess of creation cut off her memories, which divided the times in the Plane of Dreams into two periods. The mind of the goddess of creation is the key to the escape of the Mad Lord, so it was likely that the goddess actively planned or acquiesced to the deicidal war 10,000 years ago just to permanently contain the Mad Lord. The deicidal race was just a pawn, induced not only by the power of the Mad Lord but possibly also the interference of the goddess of creation herself.
Raven 12345 tapped her fingers on the white jade table. Every tap produced an air ripple in the surrounding air. There seemed to be shadows in the ripples. The goddess was using this method to simulate a particular key of evolution in the Plane of Dreams to “prophesize” the intrinsic connection and blind spots of this new intelligence.
“In my opinion, the infestation of Lockmarton caused the goddess of creation to lose her judgment. As an immature goddess, she should have devoted most of her energy into taking control of her power, but she stopped the process at a critical moment and brought an army to seek revenge on the Mad Lord. The revenge on her child’s behalf is excusable, but she has harmed herself and others.” Raven 12345 shook her head, apparently feeling a bit sad.
“Lockmarton is also a tragedy. The goddess of creation gave her power to him, but he did not have the will to control this power, which eventually corrupted him. Before bumping into the Mad Lord, Lockmarton already had signs of mental disorder, which was why he was quickly infected by the Mad Lord later. As a divine creation, he should not have fallen so quickly.”
“It’s not easy to bear the authority of God. Giving her divine power to a non-divine creature is the first and biggest mistake the goddess of creation has made.” Raven 12345 spread her hand out. “But what could she have done? She has never gone to school.”
“I am worried about one thing now,” Hao Ren said as he looked at Vivian. “The goddess ofcCreation erased her memory to contain the Mad Lord. In other words, she was using memory occlusion to prevent the Mad Lord from breaking out of jail through divine power. I suspect that Vivian’s amnesia phenomenon is also related to it. After all, Vivian is also an extension of the goddess of creation.”
“Are you worried that Vivian’s activities in the Plane of Dreams will cause her to be infected by the power of Chaos? Or if she frequently comes into contact with the knowledge of the Mad Lord, it will weaken the seal that contains the Mad Lord?” Raven 12345 asked while looking into Hao Ren’s eyes.
“It’s possible,” Hao Ren replied.
“I think something else causes Vivian’s amnesia. You must still remember the celestial ceremony of the Ultimate Absolution. The goddess of creation has left this ceremony behind to preserve the races in the Plane of Dreams to ensure the stability of the world. Vivian is the key part of the Ultimate Absolution ceremony and the ‘guide’ of the whole plan. She would need full memory to be able to do it. For this reason, the goddess of creation would not leave a bug in Vivian’s head to regularly ‘wipe’ her memory.” Raven 12345 waved her finger while she said, “I tend to believe that her amnesia is an accident, and has no connection with the memory occlusion of the goddess of creation.”
“But I am still worried.” Unable to hide his thoughts, Hao Ren’s brows pulled together.
“I’m fine,” Vivian said. “Had the Mad Lord targetted me, I would have lost my mind when the power of the Mad Lord began to leak out 10,000 years ago. It’s a lunatic that could not withhold its power, which had no incubation period. As soon as one is infested, the effect is immediate. Since I’m still okay now, it means I will be okay in the future. Don’t worry, Hao Ren.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, do I miss something here? I could smell both of you are in love.” Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren and Vivian respectively.
