Chapter 918 Explaining Everything
Hao Ren tried his best to recount everything he saw, heard, and felt in the illusion as accurately as possible, but the things that language could describe were ultimately limited. What he knew through some kind of "transcendental perception" was difficult to describe. The moment the goddess was assassinated by the Godslayer, a massive amount of information flooded his mind. He didn't notice anything at the time, but now this information began to emerge from the depths of his mind, letting him know the entire process of the emergence of the innate antagonism phenomenon.
But when it came to describing it, he could only roughly describe it as "the divine blood was polluted by the distortion of evil deeds, and the disastrous power leaked from the divine blood infected the Wall of Reality, causing the races that came to the surface world through the Wall of Reality to become distorted." As for how this process happened, he couldn't express it in words.
Fortunately, the three people present were all experts who frequently came into contact with the mystical realm, and they could guess from Hao Ren's pained expression that what he had just seen was not just an illusion. The information conveyed by the "super experience" could not be shared with others.
"In short, it's enough to know this rough process," Vivian stopped Hao Ren's attempt to continue explaining the matter. "We're not pursuing the principle."
"Now we know the root of the innate antagonism phenomenon," Izaaks said, rubbing his bald head. "Then the biggest question is: can this phenomenon be completely ended? If we purify the Golden Disc here, will the innate antagonism between other aliens in the world truly end?"
Hao Ren frankly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either: "Nothing can be guaranteed now. We can only be sure that the Golden Disc was the original 'carrier' that brought the innate antagonism to this world, but this antagonism has already spread to the bloodlines of various races ten thousand years ago. Purifying the disc here can probably only ensure that the situation doesn't continue to deteriorate. As for making the existing antagonism in the bloodlines of various races disappear… perhaps we can only hope for time."
"It's like a widespread infection…" Vivian muttered thoughtfully. "Then how did the sudden weakening of the innate antagonism between various races in the past two months happen?"
Hao Ren was relatively confident about this: "It doesn't seem to be related to the disc, or at least not directly related. Until a month ago, this disc was properly sealed and had no interaction with the outside world."
"Not because of the disc?" Vivian frowned. "Then this clue is broken again."
"Wait, if the disc really has no connection with the outside world, then what caused the sudden loss of control of the seal a month ago?" Izaaks pointed out. "Why did the Shadow of Chaos break through this defense after the blood exchange ceremony between the demon hunters and the Ankatelo family? I think this is evidence that the Golden Disc, even when sealed, actually affects the innate antagonism in the world—and once the innate antagonism of various races ends, it will reactivate and re-emit the negative power it carries."
Hao Ren looked back at the Golden Disc on the altar. The huge artifact was still suspended quietly in mid-air. It had stopped rotating at this moment, and was fixed motionless in mid-air like a silent metal mask, remaining silent to all the questions and inquiries directed at it.
"To explain this problem, we must understand the detailed factors of the divine blood pollution, so as to deduce how this deteriorated artifact is operating now," Hao Ren said slowly. "Now, apart from knowing that the Godslaying process caused the divine blood pollution, we know nothing about its internal principle."
The implication of his words was very clear: the Golden Disc hid endless secrets, but the current conditions were not enough to analyze this big guy.
"Anyway, the matter is considered resolved, let's take this thing back and analyze it," Vivian heard Hao Ren's meaning, and she nodded. "No matter when the innate antagonism of other races will completely disappear, at least now we don't have to worry about those little bastards fighting each other like they did back then—things won't get worse again."
Hasse finally couldn't help but stand up when he saw the three people finally finished discussing: "Well, have you finished talking? Can I ask questions now?"
Hao Ren looked at Hasse in surprise: "Oh, you're still here?"
Hasse's cold sweat immediately flowed to his feet: "Where else can I be if I'm not here? Didn't you tell me to listen honestly here?"
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead: "Uh… sorry, I was a little confused for a while after being hit by the artifact. Speaking of explaining this problem to you… where should I start?"
All along, the matters concerning the Dream Plane were only known to Hao Ren and a few others. At most, some of the partners who had worked together, such as Hesperiana, who had a vague understanding of the matter, could be counted as insiders. And the inside story about the Creation Goddess, the Great Extinction of the Dream Plane, and the Godslaying War was even more of a secret that was not made public. If it was really calculated according to the confidentiality regulations, in fact, the aliens on Earth had the right to know about the Dream Plane, but Hao Ren always didn't know how to announce this almost Arabian Nights-like, huge secret spanning ten thousand years, so he could only take it one step at a time.
And now things had finally naturally developed to this point. An old demon hunter was involved in the scene of recovering the Creation Goddess's artifact by accident. Hao Ren felt that it was time to tell these special parties some things.
Perhaps it was most appropriate to treat an old demon hunter like Hasse as the first intelligence interface.
He looked into Hasse's eyes: "Do you know where the supernatural races on this planet come from?"
A light flashed in Hasse's one eye, and he noticed that Hao Ren's question pointed directly to the core: "You mean the origin of all non-human races, including demon hunters?"
Hao Ren nodded silently.
"Although many components of the Amutula's theory are considered Arabian Nights," Hasse lowered his eyes slightly, "at least I agree with one point: the supernatural races on Earth are definitely not born naturally on this planet, this does not conform to the laws of nature."
"It's good that you can think like this," Hao Ren sighed with relief, and then said in a serious tone, "Outside this universe, in the space-time adjacent to our real world, there is a place called the Dream Plane…"
Under the radiance of the Golden Disc, Hao Ren and Hasse sat on the edge of the ancient altar, recounting in detail what had happened and was happening in another world, while Vivian and Izaaks made occasional supplements next to them. The Datapad also floated in front of Hasse, showing the old demon hunter those special image materials in its memory bank. In the Datapad's holographic projection, Hasse saw the vast green grassland of Holletta, the dazzling ancient ruins on the Golden Star, the cold gray wandering planet, and the blue siren star, Aioi.
Hao Ren's verbal description allowed Hasse to roughly understand the existence of the Dream Plane, and the more powerful intelligence was these pictures recorded by the Datapad. In the past two years, this broken, poisonous-tongued, quirky, seemingly unreliable but in fact extraordinarily reliable Ai assistant had participated in every adventure with Hao Ren. When it showed its built-in memory bank, Hao Ren himself didn't expect that this pDA had recorded so many things.
"File number xxxxx, current location Holletta-Dragon Spine Mountains, the Firstborn has awakened, biological threat assessment is extremely high, this unit continues to observe…"
"File number xxxxx, current location Tanagoth, confirming that this planet has encountered ecological cleaning, the Inspector has extracted the local civilization database…"
"File number xxxxx, current location Aioi planet, the planetary consciousness whose identification code is Iva has re-entered slumber, Aioi siren civilization registered as…"
"File number xxxxx, current location Exile Ark, confirming that the primitive civilization of this planet has been destroyed, the executor is the out-of-control Firstborn. Officially registering this destroyed civilization, the Inspector has extracted the civilization database, estimated file number…"
The Datapad projected those materials without confidentiality levels one by one, reading the abstracts recorded with the files in a mechanical, flat tone. These things were not for showing anything else, they only had one purpose:
To let Hasse see with his own eyes what kind of homeworld the aliens on Earth used to live in.
The old demon hunter could understand every word Hao Ren said, but it seemed that he still needed time to understand these things. After the Datapad finished displaying the last planet image file, he couldn't help but turn to Hao Ren: "What… exactly do you do?"
"I can only tell you that the content of my work is to travel through various worlds, observe and feedback the situation of various civilizations, but our specific organization and the truth outside the world are confidential," Hao Ren introduced his situation to Hasse in a limited way. "As you can see, I have been to many places."
Hao Ren told Hasse a lot, but he knew that he had not violated the confidentiality agreement. The core of this confidentiality agreement was only one, that is, unless the situation requires it, the development process of normal civilizations must not be interfered with, and the additional description above this is "a certain level of civilization individuals can only know the knowledge within their information range". In other words, earthlings can only know about earth, space races can only know about their own universe, and aliens—they are a special case, they are connected to both universes, so they have the right to know the information of both their homeland universe and the universe they currently live in.
At least let people know what their old home looks like.
But the information above this is a matter of confidentiality, such as the structure of the Space-Time Administration and the affairs of the entire macro world system, these cannot be said. It is okay to mention these two nouns, but their detailed content cannot be revealed.
Therefore, without violating the confidentiality agreement, Hao Ren let Hasse understand the origin and development of these aliens on Earth, and also introduced the entire truth of the Godslaying War in detail.
Hasse was finally able to figure out what Hao Ren had said after contacting the Sun Disc before, and he was dumbfounded: "That is to say, we demon hunters and aliens have been fighting to the death for ten thousand years, being incompatible like fire and water, and the reason is because a group of people who have nothing to do with us killed their creators?"
Vivian sighed: "They are the beginning of everything."
