At the last moment of the mass extinction 10,000 years ago, the safety devices of some of the seeds of life suddenly activated, forcing the out-of-control eldest son to sleep. As a result, a small number of races in this universe were able to survive. The planet Horleta
The residents on the planet are among the survivors. Although Hao Ren has not seen more survivors, he believes that there must be planets like Horleta that have survived the Firstborn Disaster, but they are just hidden in some corners of the universe.
Just waiting to be discovered.
However, what activated the safety lock of the Seed of Life back then was not the warning mechanism of the Seed or the self-rescue operation of the Magic Emperor. Instead, it was the giant in front of him and some of his brothers and sisters who harbored gnashing hatred.
, the guardians who had just watched their mothers being killed by mortals. They activated the security protocol at the Seed of Life Control Center in the center of the universe, and thus protected a small part of the mortal civilization.
In the eyes of the guardians, the phenomenon of "mortal races" is the culprit that led to their mother's death. They no longer believe in the loyalty and morality of any mortal species, and are unwilling to distinguish between good and bad mortals. This kind of thinking
It was the reason that caused all the guardians to fall into madness and mutation. But the goddess's last order forced some guardians to maintain their sanity. Even if they were filled with anger and grief, they still regarded the mother's order as the first rule, so
Only because of this giant man in front of Hao Ren who still maintained his sanity could he survive.
This is the truth about 10,000 years ago. It is completely different from the initial guess. It is so unexpected that people are stunned.
"No mortal species is worth saving," the giant lowered his head, and his voice seemed to come from his chest, "but this is the last instruction of the mother before her death, and we must execute it unconditionally. So we activated the safety lock.
After the founding star was pushed into the dark realm by the Big Bang, the seeds of life everywhere in the universe and their first-generation products entered a sealed state, and our crazy brothers fell asleep like this. But at that time, there was not much left in this universe.
Life remains.”
Hao Ren guessed that "the founding star was pushed into the dark realm by the big explosion" should refer to the explosion of the red nova. It was the moment when the goddess of creation was completely killed by the villains. Now all the timelines correspond.
"What happened after that?" Vivian looked at the giant curiously, "You... guardians who stayed sane, how did you live after that?"
"We were separated," the giant shook his head. "Some of the guardians wanted to find the remains of their mother. They set off to find the dark realm. There was no news after that. Some of them were sleeping in every corner of the universe. They were buried in this way.
My mother is gone, most of my compatriots have also mutated, and the remaining guardians realize that they have lost the meaning of their existence, so we fell apart..."
The giant slowly talked about the last days of those guardians, and also mentioned the reason why he came to Horleta. After saying goodbye to his brothers and sisters, he drove the spaceship that was seriously damaged in the war and traveled around the universe.
Wandering aimlessly and experiencing a thousand-year wandering. He originally thought of dying in the wandering like this, and waiting for the spacecraft to completely lose control to find a star to end his life. He believed that many guardians who were as awake as him should also
He chose this path. But just when he was about to reach the end of his wandering, he discovered a planet: Horleta.
The giant realized that when the safety device of the Seed of Life was activated, those who were protected were not only the "innocents" who did not know what was going on, but also those rebellious comrades who refused to provide support to his mother, so he changed
made his own plan.
Since all the enemies that day were not dead, it was necessary to continue taking revenge.
"When I discovered this planet, the whole world had not yet recovered from the blood disaster." The giant's mood seemed to have calmed down. He talked about his recent arrival in Horleta without emotion, "Everywhere can be found.
We saw the remains of the tentacles of the original guardians and the destroyed human kingdom, but even so, there are still many mortals surviving in the world. They survived between the ruins and the wilderness, and civilization has regressed to an almost primitive era, but no matter what
Said, they are still alive. And they are still shamelessly covering up the sins of the past. I have been observing in orbit for several years, watching them burn the religious scriptures of the past. They instill distorted history into newborns and continue to eliminate the remaining reflective elements in society.
'. They even completely sealed up the memory of the goddess of creation, as if doing so could wash away the sins on their bodies. They lived like this fearfully and full of sins, while I lurked under the cover of a meteorite impact. I need
Time is needed to repair the weapons on the spacecraft, and also to treat the injuries..."
"This has been dormant for thousands of years," Hao Ren couldn't help but say, "You have witnessed the reconstruction of the Horleta civilization with your own eyes."
"I have witnessed a lot of things with my own eyes," the giant said with a sense of contradiction in his voice, "Yes, this is the source of my hesitation. I did not expect that they would regain their belief in the goddess of creation, let alone that they could
So many things were restored from the thin innate memory and historical fragments. The original executioners died one by one. The psychological pressure and the curse from the origin of the world made those guys who could have lived for many years very short-lived. After their death, they
His descendants inherited the world and began to worship the goddess of creation again. I soon discovered that the mortal world was changing faster than I imagined, even so fast that I had no time to take revenge, and an entire era was over."
"So it will be very embarrassing after you repair the spaceship." Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh for the giant. He raised his head and looked at the huge figure, but he saw endless contradictions and entanglements in the god-like figure.
, confusion and confusion. This giant is struggling in the shadows of countless pasts, and it is feeble to judge anything related to him based on pure good and evil, right and wrong. He was indeed obsessed with destroying the civilization on the planet Horleta,
But at the same time, he had long given up on this idea in his heart. He had spent thousands of years preparing weapons and destruction plans, but these actions were more like being driven by pure obsession:
The giant knows that revenge is meaningless, but if he does not do so, he himself will be meaningless.
Lily wanted to break this uncomfortable silence, and she brought up the Return of the Cult: "Did you organize those cultists?"
"I did not take the initiative to organize any sect," the giant shook his head. "They gathered spontaneously. When I first landed on this planet, I slept for a short period of time in order to restore my energy, and during that time,
Some humans discovered the cave where I hid my spaceship. The thoughts I leaked in my sleep affected the minds of these humans, and they knew about the goddess of creation and the traitorous son... It even surprised me that they became fanatical returners.
I didn't expect that there would be humans who would become as angry as the guardians after knowing the truth, and would even be willing to do something to their own compatriots. Anyway, their behavior made me feel a little relieved, so I didn't stop them. Later,
I even opened part of the structure in the cave for them and their descendants to live in, and I taught them some knowledge so that they can help maintain my base... That's all."
There is no need for the giant to make up lies at this time, so his words have a high degree of credibility. It seems that the giant is indeed the leader behind the return sect, but he is more like a symbolic spiritual leader. The belief of the return believers is that when they come into contact
It emerged spontaneously after entering the giant's mind. This also explains the biological transformation between magic and technology of the Returning Sect: the giant should have no intention to study the biochemical technology of a group of small mortals, so those
The technology should have been developed by the return believers through thousands of years of exploration. Naturally, its technical level cannot be compared with the giant's battleships and bases.
"Returners once tried to use a scroll to assassinate the Pope." Hao Ren took out the fragment of the divine scroll from his pocket, "This is it. Did you give it to them?"
The giant lowered his head and glanced: "Indeed, but what I initially handed over to them were only some raw materials. This material was manufactured on a satellite of the Founding Star and was blessed by the mother. Those who returned used these ancient
The materials are used to make sacred objects, but I don't know the specific usage. I don't pay attention to these things."
Hao Ren looked at the fragment of the scroll in his hand: "No wonder this thing has divinity..." (To be continued)
