Chapter 1350 The Little Bat Spirit's Confusion
After Vivian's elder demeanor subsided slightly, Hao Ren stood up, cleared his throat, and said slowly like an old principal preparing to speak at a graduation ceremony, "Let me add a few words. First of all, some of you may not quite understand the significance of this event, as it came suddenly for you—but in fact, this matter has been brewing in my mind for a long time. I believe everyone sitting here still remembers one thing, which is the so-called 'Day of Return' prophecy event that caused a stir two years ago. Many supernatural races on Earth were involved in it. What I want to say is that at least part of the 'Day of Return' prophecy is true, that is, all aliens do come from another world, and this world has your lost civilization, lost heritage, and your origins and ancestors. Unlike the Day of Return, returning to this world will not bring you power and wealth—it will only let you know where you come from, let you know the original origin of history, and these things are priceless treasures that are more important than power for a civilization and a race. Regarding the various materials of this 'Dream Plane', apart from the parts that are temporarily unsuitable for public disclosure, I have compiled a formal document, which will be distributed to everyone present after today's meeting. I believe that after you have read those materials, you will know how to deal with them. Speaker Mimir, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
Mimir's Head conveyed a deep and dignified voice: "No objection. It is time to make many things public, and I believe your judgment on this matter is more accurate than all of us."
Hao Ren nodded solemnly and said nothing more, just looked at the high-ranking councilors present.
Some of the councilors looked a little dazed, but others had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Not all aliens knew nothing about the "Dream Plane." In fact, the original incident involved a wide range of issues. In addition, with Hao Ren's intentional or unintentional connivance and release of information, information about the "origin of aliens" was circulating in some alien families, but the information they knew was not detailed enough. On this point, Hao Ren's information blockade against aliens was stricter than that against demon hunters. After all, the situation of aliens and demon hunters was different. The latter was more organized, more confidential and disciplined, and did not worry much about internal problems, so more secrets could be revealed. As for the aliens... Just as Vivian said, even if they formed the highest federation (Shadow Council), they were only transformed from a heap of loose sand into a heap of tightly packed loose sand. Hao Ren would naturally not reveal too much shocking information to this group of guys too early.
But now it was also time to let them know some of the truth about the Dream Plane.
After the meeting, only a few acquaintances remained in the huge chamber, including Mimir's Head, Jean Lucas, Hesperides, and of course, Hesperiana definitely had to stay on the scene shamelessly. The little bat spirit had just been repelled by Vivian's three-hundred-and-sixty-degree electric shock, but it seemed that she had not given up easily...
"I made you laugh," Mimir's Head said gently. "Although the Shadow Council has completed integration and a number of internal consensus, it is still an organization that is not united enough, and I, as the speaker, am powerless to do anything about it."
"I know, today is just to shock those little guys a little, to prevent them from forgetting what it feels like to be beaten by their parents after being comfortable for too long," Vivian waved her hand carelessly. "The Shadow Council and the demon hunters have different characteristics, I know, which does not mean that the member races of the council are stupider than the demon hunters—as a multi-racial organization, and an organization formed by multiple hostile races that have just united, the current situation is what it should be. I'm just a little regretful... almost no one realizes the significance of tracing the roots of civilization. They are indifferent to their hometown, and even the 'Day of Return' prophecy that caused a stir at the beginning, they only value the power and wealth mentioned in the prophecy."
"For races that were born and raised on Earth and have severed their inheritance, the 'hometown' you described to them is just an abstract symbol, a completely unfamiliar otherworld that may be fraught with dangers," Hesperides said lightly. "But if you say 'indifferent' is not entirely true. As far as I know, many people are very interested in that rumored 'land of origin'. In the words of the Chinese, they also have the concept of 'recognizing ancestors and returning to their roots', but the inheritance of various alien races in the mythological war has been severed beyond the limit. When we originally wandered to this world, we did not have the foundation to become an independent civilization. The subsequent severance of inheritance has blurred the cognition of 'ethnic group' for most races. How can a scattered group of survivors bear the concept of race and history? You tell them about 'tracing the roots of civilization', it is better to talk about tourism..."
Hao Ren nodded repeatedly: "Right, right, I said that my promotional plan is more reliable. How good is the sunset red homecoming visiting group..."
He would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but as soon as he said it, everyone turned to stare at him.
Hao Ren quickly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I didn't say anything..."
"Perhaps when they really see the 'Dream Plane' you mentioned, there will be some changes," Jean Lucas listened from the side with that aristocratic smile, and interjected slightly at this time. "To be honest, I am also very curious about that place, and I never thought that one day I could witness it with my own eyes. All along, I knew that the Countess was doing some 'big things' with you, and now it seems... the big things you are doing are really beyond imagination."
"Rare, even the old stubborn of the Lucas family can be so polite?" Hesperiana stubbornly climbed over again after being electrocuted into a bird's nest by Vivian's protective lightning for the fourth time, and did not forget to roll her eyes at Jean. "Lady Vivian has been amazing since ancient times, can you compare to someone like you who only knows how to huddle in the one-acre three-point land of the shelter and study intrigue?"
Jean Lucas shrugged with a smile, did not respond to Hesperiana's provocation, but solemnly said to Hao Ren: "I am looking forward to the day of the 'Dream Plane' trip."
Hao Ren smiled and nodded, and looked at Mimir's Head: "You can also look forward to meeting your compatriots—Muru and the others will definitely be happy to see you."
Mimir's face was a little surprised: "Can I also pass through the Wall of Reality? Have you solved the problem of demigods carrying too much information?"
"The power of the Crack Nebula's door is beyond your imagination," Hao Ren said with a profound look. "I opened that door not just to organize a sightseeing tour. Now it can allow demigods like you from the Dream Plane to return to the Dream Plane for a short time, and this is not all of it. That door will gradually grow. As the degree of its integration with the Wall of Reality continues to rise, the upper limit of the information throughput it can accommodate will become higher and higher."
"You don't want to use it to end the Wall of Reality, do you?" Mimir looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. "You want to smoothly integrate the two universes in this way?"
"Of course not, that kind of grand goal cannot be achieved with a single teleportation door," Hao Ren shook his head. "In short... you will know when the time comes."
After everyone else had dispersed, Hesperiana stayed to the end. After failing to drive her away for many times, Vivian was too lazy to pay attention to this clingy spirit, but Hesperiana herself had calmed down from the excitement of seeing the "Mother Body" at the beginning. At this time, she was quite quiet, but she had been looking at Hao Ren with strange eyes.
Hao Ren was getting goosebumps from the little bat spirit's weird eyes: "Is there something on my face?"
"I always feel like you are hiding something from me," Hesperiana's gaze switched between Hao Ren and Vivian a few times, and finally shook her head. "But what I want to say is another thing. Lady Vivian, did you design the function of dreaming when you invented me?"
"Invented you..." Vivian was first stunned by Hesperiana's uniquely styled description, and then her face became serious. "Wait, you said dreaming? You had a dream?"
Because she had just fought Locke Marton, who was good at manipulating minds and dreams, in the Dream Plane, and Hao Ren could always see strange projections about the Dream Plane from various dreams and illusions, now Vivian was as sensitive to the word "dreaming" as if she were allergic to it.
"Ah, yes, it should be dreaming," Hesperiana scratched her face. "Because I haven't dreamed before, I don't quite understand, but I saw those things when I was sleeping, it should be right."
"What did you dream about?"
"Some... very messy scenes," Hesperiana frowned. "Sometimes there are wars and chaos, sometimes there are strangers wearing ancient clothes walking around, and sometimes I see aliens flying in the sky openly, and there are many humans on the ground setting up altars and offering sacrifices, which looks like the early days of the mythological era that you described to me. Oh, yes, the scenes I saw in the dream are all gray, as if they have faded."
"Ancient people... sacrificial rituals... war years..." Vivian muttered to herself, "It sounds like things from ancient times, and some things happened before you were born, how could you dream about those things?"
"I don't know," Hesperiana spread her hands. "So I wanted to ask you."
This sounded like a daughter encountered life troubles and came to her mother to discuss it...
At the same moment, in the God Realm storage vault where the evil thought bodies were stored, Raven 12345 was solemnly watching those evil thought bodies that were constantly releasing various energy fluctuations and seemed to be about to wake up at any time.
"Resonance is becoming more frequent..." Raven 12345 muttered to herself, "What aspect is going to change..."
