Chapter 1346 The Lost People's Family Visit Plan
Why did Lily's "Demon Hunter soul" give her this bizarre talent, to the point that she could skip the learning process and use a power (divine magic) that was completely unfamiliar to her?
As the former big boss and current honorary leader of the Demon Hunters, Lily felt it was necessary to express her opinion at this time: "I think it's mainly because I'm awesome."
Obviously, she was just expressing an opinion anyway, and no one took it seriously...
"The souls of Demon Hunters are inherently engraved with multiple talents," Vivian, who had dealt with Demon Hunters for thousands of years, had something to say at this point. "They are born with spellcasting abilities and knowledge about potions, weapons, channeling, etc. These things are not only engraved in their DNA but also in their soul memories, so perhaps they should have been able to use divine magic originally—and this might even have been their strongest power originally. After all, they were the 'perfect beings' created during the heyday of Holletta's magical civilization."
"But none of the Demon Hunters we've encountered can use divine magic," Hao Ren said with some confusion. "Their 'Holy Flame' is a bit similar to divine magic, but in reality, it's just positive attribute power released by their own strength, which is fundamentally different from divine power."
Vivian tapped on the table: "Because they come from the Dream Plane. If their souls are truly engraved with divine magic power, then this power should originate from the Goddess of Creation. However, the Goddess of Creation has already fallen, so their divine magic is cut off at its source—therefore, the current Demon Hunters have completely lost the power to cast divine magic! Lily, on the other hand... she accidentally reincarnated into the wrong body. Perhaps in this process, some restrictions in her soul were washed away, and then she hung out with us and was exposed to the Goddess's divine power every day. As a result, this divine magic talent was activated haphazardly and stimulated in the event of a fierce conflict with Lockmarton's chaotic power!"
Listening to Vivian's speculation, Hao Ren felt increasingly enlightened: "That's really possible! It makes perfect sense logically!"
Raven 12345 also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Vivian's conjecture: "If this theory holds, then Demon Hunters should be a race that is naturally capable of using divine magic."
Hao Ren's expression was slightly serious, because he knew how incredible this talent was. It even challenged the life rules of mortal creatures: under normal circumstances, if a mortal wants to use divine magic, they must go through systematic learning, especially the need to establish a real connection with a certain true god, and borrow power from the resonance through various rituals, prayers, and other means. As for innate divine magic... from the perspective of some races, that's almost the "body of a Son of Heaven's Mandate," and only the "chosen ones" favored by the gods in various legends would have this privilege. Of course, he knew that the "chosen ones" in the Raven 12345's church didn't have such a dazzling halo. The reason this goddess sister gave someone divine magic without examination was usually because she slipped and gave it to the wrong person, and she would have to take it back on the spot, otherwise her year-end bonus wouldn't be guaranteed...
But it's hard to say what variables will appear in the Goddess of Creation's system, after all, she was a school dropout...
"If Demon Hunters are really a race with innate divine magic talent, then the significance of this matter that can be explored is probably more than we imagined," Raven 12345 reminded cryptically. "Do you remember the origin of the Demon Hunters?"
Hao Ren's heart stirred, and the information he had investigated before blurted out: "Demon Hunters originated from Holletta in the Dream Plane. It is believed that the ancient magic empire stole some of the Goddess of Creation's knowledge, and then used artificial extraction of source blood and other things, as well as various biochemical technology assistance, to create 'perfect beings' with theoretically infinite physical age, far surpassing the average physical fitness of any mortal race, various extraordinary powers that can be mastered naturally without learning, and super learning ability. Basically, they are an overpowered race of all-people magic and martial arts practitioners who are immortal and can learn anything quickly..."
"This is the original investigation data. The data identifies Demon Hunters as taboo creatures created by the ancient magic empire after abandoning the Goddess," Raven 12345 nodded, and then suddenly raised her eyes. "But if they are really such 'taboo creatures,' can they have innate divine magic?"
Hao Ren was stunned.
"Divine magic is the most special power. It comes from the 'information interference' of the True God. You should still remember the theory of information unification, that is, everything in the universe is a description of information, and various data and algorithms outline the entire world. A True God is an 'interference source' that can disturb and manipulate all underlying data. From this, it can be seen that the divine power of a True God is one of the manifestations of this interference force. If mortals want to use divine magic, they are ultimately borrowing power from this interference process—the first step in borrowing power is to 'get close' to it."
As Raven 12345 spoke, she waved her hand in the air in front of her, creating various images. She first created a glowing ball of light to represent the source of divine power, that is, the True God, and then outlined "waves" representing information ripples and "points" representing the mortal world.
"The process of information interference is like resonance. A strong information emitter will 'vibrate' a weak information emitter, and if the latter wants to borrow the power of the former, the only way is to make its 'frequency' close to the interference source and enhance this resonance. This is also why the God's believers can use divine magic, while the enemies of the faith cannot: because the former is closer to their God, while the latter is deviating from Him, and even actively shielding Him."
Hearing this, Hao Ren of course understood: "...So if the magic emperors of that time really relied on 'blasphemous' methods such as stealing the Goddess's authority to create Demon Hunters, then it is absolutely impossible for Demon Hunters to obtain the ability to use divine magic!"
Raven 12345 waved her hand to disperse the images in mid-air: "Or to put it another way, since those 'magic emperors' could create a race like Demon Hunters with divine magic talent, then they must still be devoutly worshiping the Goddess of Creation. Their creation process must be based on faith, and faith alone is not enough, because to engrave divine magic into the souls of Demon Hunters, this creation process must be based on a 'power connection' with the Goddess of Creation!"
As if a bolt of lightning flashed through Hao Ren's mind.
He did not expect that after the investigation in the Dream Plane progressed to this day, everything would return to the starting point—the planet Holletta, which was originally found in the Dream Plane, actually still hid such an amazing mystery!
"I knew from the beginning that there were many errors in the various ancient legends of Holletta, especially in the description of 'ancient humans abandoning the Goddess, leading to the Goddess destroying the world,' but I didn't expect it to be so far off," Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. "Because no matter what, when the Goddess was assassinated, she asked the entire universe for help, and the magic emperors of Holletta did not respond. Whether the signal was intercepted or not, the connection between those magic emperors and the Goddess of Creation should have been interrupted at that time... But they created the Demon Hunters, which is difficult to explain..."
Raven 12345 reminded: "These discussions are currently based on the premise that 'Demon Hunters are indeed born with the talent to use divine magic.' No amount of additional discussion is useful. We must verify this point first."
Hao Ren nodded. He knew that if he wanted to continue the research, he must first find out the secrets of the Demon Hunter's talent. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "Then should I bring Dou Dou over? She was modified by the 'Origin Holy Relic' and can now be considered to have Demon Hunter attributes..."
"Dou Dou probably won't work," Raven 12345 waved her hand. "First of all, she was only modified by the Origin Holy Relic and is not a natural Demon Hunter. Secondly, she has been with us for a long time, especially after contacting me many times. Her life essence has been affected by me and is not 'pure' enough. We must find those pure-blooded Demon Hunters to do some investigation."
Hao Ren agreed: "Well... then I'll go to Corpus in the Arctic in the next few days and have Bai Huo find a few Demon Hunters with pure bloodlines to cooperate with us in doing a check."
Vivian also reminded from the side: "The Demon Hunters who came to Earth have changed more or less in the process of crossing the Wall of Reality. I think the purest 'research samples' are those 'ancient species' of Holletta..."
"Ask Marshal Ofra for help... I remember that she is a pure 'ancient species,'" Hao Ren stroked his chin. "It just so happens that I can also go see Becky. It's been a long time since I've seen her. We've only exchanged a few messages recently. I don't know what that guy has been up to lately."
As he spoke, Hao Ren felt a little emotional. Unknowingly, three years had passed. When he first met Becky and first arrived at Holletta, he was still a clueless greenhorn. After being forced to become an inspector, he spent every day in a hectic mess. Now he has seen all kinds of worlds and races, and he himself has changed a lot. He doesn't know what those old acquaintances in Holletta are doing now...
Has the reconstruction been completed after the disaster of the Eldest Son in the Dragon Spine Mountains? Did the group of intelligent black wolves who migrated from the prairie to the snow mountains return to their hometown? Did Becky successfully drug Ofra?
Vivian also thought of those friends, and a smile appeared on her face: "I'll go see them too. Actually... I have a suggestion."
"Suggestion?" Hao Ren looked at her curiously.
"Yes," Vivian nodded. "Let's arrange for the Demon Hunters of Corpus and the 'ancient species' of Holletta to meet. Although it's not possible to let the Demon Hunters return to the Dream Plane for a long time now, there is already a stable passage after all, and they can also see their compatriots in their homeland."
Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily couldn't help but interject: "Are we letting the people on both sides make formal contact? Isn't it a little early?"
"Perhaps... it's not too early," Hao Ren shook his head gently. "The door to the Rift Nebula has been established. With this stable passage, many things can actually be planned, such as... letting the Dream Plane 'remnants' on Earth begin to gradually understand the truth of history, or even come into contact with the truth of history. Boss, what do you think about this matter..."
"It's possible," Raven 12345 said. "But be careful not to bring too many people through the door—that door to the Rift Nebula is mainly for transporting supplies to you. Although it can also allow sentient beings to travel back and forth for a short time, it is still a pressure on the Wall of Reality, especially if you want to arrange for the original residents of the Dream Plane to 'return home.' They have a very strong information connection with the Dream Plane itself, and their 'return' will have a far greater impact on the Wall of Reality than when you brought those Irim elves into the Dream Plane. Well... as the first test of the 'Gate of the Universe,' you should not exceed one hundred people this time, and you have to watch the 'crossing team' carefully. Don't take them running around the universe."
Hao Ren smiled: "Of course, I have to plan this matter carefully."
