Chapter 575 Every Sentient Creature

"Every sentient creature."

As if to emphasize this fact, the giant repeated, gnashing his teeth.

"The entire universe?" Hao Ren found it unbelievable, and instinctively felt that there was something illogical in this statement. "Including those primitive planets that don't even have spacefaring technology? They also took action?"

"Directly or indirectly, no one is clean," the giant replied in a muffled voice, then stared at Hao Ren and his group for a long time. "Since you really want to know, then listen carefully and learn how great the sins your forefathers committed were."

"I told you, I'm from Earth..." Hao Ren waved his hands with a wry smile, but finally sighed, "Alright, whatever you say, I really want to know."

As Hao Ren judged, the giant was easier to communicate with than the brain monster.

Although they also harbored great hatred for ordinary races, the giant's hatred was clearly within the scope of rational control. In other words, his anger still possessed a "human" side. The brain monster's anger, on the other hand, was more like a primal, beastly impulse. The latter's rage was uncontrolled and detached from humanity. Their hatred for mortals was unconditional and uncompromising—hence, Hao Ren's attempts to communicate with the brain monster were fruitless.

The reason for this change was unknown, but it was likely related to their transformation in form. Individuals who turned into brain monsters could be said to have completely become another species. Hao Ren didn't even know if the giant before him could still regard his "brainified" clansmen as the same kind—of course, he couldn't ask now.

The giant sat cross-legged in the center of the container, his face devoid of obvious expression. He recounted the memories of the world's oldest times in a low, strange language: "In the beginning, this world was desolate. Only a handful of planets gave rise to primitive life. The stars were silent and lifeless. Our Mother first appeared in this world. She made her home in the center of the universe, and there she created the Source Blood: a substance that could form life. It was an extension of her power and body, and could also be regarded as part of her body.

"In the many years that followed, Mother gradually became curious about this universe and began to explore the entire world. She soon grew dissatisfied with the universe's desolation and coldness, so she created the first seeds as extensions of her senses and as elements to bring life to the universe. She sent them into the starry sky.

"From the seeds were born our elder brothers, the first Primal Guardians, who quickly transmitted all kinds of information from the depths of the stars. Mother was satisfied and surprised by this development, and in order to record this increasing amount of information, she created us in the depths of the Source Blood during the incubation of the first seeds.

"We are the second batch of Primal Guardians. From the moment we were born, we lived by Mother's side. Our task was to collect and organize all kinds of intelligence from the depths of the starry sky, and to protect Mother's safety—at that time, we only needed to guard against some wandering celestial bodies in the universe."

Izhaks said in a deep voice, "But then there was a rebellion?"

"A race, a race with extraordinary talent, their development gradually spiraled out of control," the giant clenched his fists. "Mother never interfered with the development of those children, and she told us not to disturb them—her entire attention was focused on the novelty and mystery of the universe itself. So, those little creatures hatched from the dregs of the seeds reproduced recklessly. Some of them developed too powerfully and even began to covet the origin of the universe. When they realized that they were already the most powerful species in this universe, they began to challenge the power above mortals, and there was only one such goal...the Mother of all life."

Lily's eyes widened, "They started a war with the Creator Goddess just for this?"

"They believed that as long as they destroyed the old gods of the universe, they could replace them. They proposed a ridiculous theory of the hierarchy of life, believing that all life in the universe was on a predetermined ladder, and that each rung of the ladder could neither be expanded nor reduced. Thus, whenever an existence on the ladder perished, a new subordinate would take its place, and new life would be born at the bottom of the hierarchy to supplement the cycle. They established this foolish system from who knows where and believed in it without a doubt—so after becoming the most powerful species among mortals, they decided to become gods themselves."

Hao Ren frowned, "So the way to become a god is to kill the previous god...didn't they know who created them?"

"They knew, because they were once one of the mortal species most closely connected to Mother," the giant's voice was filled with deep sarcasm. "It was precisely because they knew so much that they became so powerful, and they knew more about Mother's secrets than anyone else. They once pretended to be the most loyal children to Mother and deceived everyone...including us. After that, they used the knowledge and power they had stolen to become more and more powerful. By the time we, the slow-witted guardians, finally realized that something was wrong, they already possessed the ability to destroy everything."

Lily still felt a little incredulous, "Can mortals really kill true gods?"

"What if these mortals' power came from the true god?" the giant glanced at her indifferently. "They've become unscrupulous in their pursuit of power."

"So in the end, they ambushed the Creator Goddess, and they actually succeeded," Vivian frowned. "But according to you, only one race took action, right? What does it have to do with civilizations on other planets?"

An angry expression appeared on the giant's face, and he slammed the ground with a fist in hatred, "When Mother needed strength, those rebellious sons...those unfilial things, all turned a blind eye!"

Hao Ren immediately realized that this was a key point, and the reason why the eldest son and the guardian giants hated all civilizations so much: "What's going on?"

"Mother never expected that she would be attacked by her children. She had never done anything to hurt them, so she was severely injured almost before she could resist. In that critical moment, she sent out a call for help to all the seeds in the universe—those little creatures hatched from the seeds, as long as they still knew the name of the Creator Goddess, could hear this voice and could respond, and this response would be enough for Mother to gain strength to catch her breath. But Mother waited for a long time, and no one responded..."

The giant lowered his head dejectedly, his voice low, "That was the darkest day in this universe. All the stars should have dimmed for it. The creator of all living beings struggled and cried for help in the center of the universe, but those things she created remained silent in the shadows, sipping the blood of the creator...they don't deserve to continue living."

The scene fell silent until Izhaks suddenly broke the silence, "Why didn't those races respond?"

"Because the rebellious sons made a presumptuous promise," the giant gritted his teeth. "Those traitors had been planning everything for many years. They had already secretly proclaimed themselves gods and promised other races that after the old gods in the universe fell, the mortals who first converted to them would receive the same immortal status as gods. They also used the power from the Source Blood as bait, using knowledge, power, wealth, and everything else that could corrupt mortal races to strengthen their bewitchment. In the end, when our Mother fell into danger, those greedy mortals fell silent—because it was simply too cost-effective. As long as they remained silent, they could obtain everything, and in their own logic, this silence was not even considered a fault."

Hao Ren suddenly thought of the forbidden technologies of the ancient magical empire, those perfect species created with the Origin Relics. After learning that the Creator Goddess came from the depths of the universe and that Holletta was just a planetary civilization, he once thought that these forbidden technologies had nothing to do with the world-destroying disaster, but now, he suddenly realized that those things were probably the reason why this planet encountered a cataclysmic disaster.

Because these technologies were very likely obtained from those leading rebellious sons back then.

The magical emperors of the ancient civilizations may not have had the ability to pose any threat to the goddess in the depths of the universe, but they could still commit great mistakes—that is, turning a blind eye when their creator needed help.

Everyone didn't know if what the giant said was 100% true, but it seemed that the other party had no reason to fool them on this issue. And no matter how credible what the giant said was, at least one thing was obvious:

The event that happened ten thousand years ago was a terrifying conspiracy, and there were really few races in this universe that could escape blame.
