Just when Hao Ren was immersed in thinking, a dark voice brought him back to reality:
"The system self-inspection has passed, and the ship has entered the initial mode."
"Phew... In this way, the last part of the prison system has been reset," Hao Ren heaved a long breath, and looked at Loken, the King of Kings. Has all Luo's divine power shielding and phase hiding status within a radius of 20,000 light years been cancelled?"
"That's right, do you need to cancel it now?" Loken the King of Kings nodded, "The entire operation process will take several hours, just leave it to us to complete, you can take this time to meet our last partner at the Nexus of Will , the captain of the Assuman."
Lily suddenly woke up from her distracted state: "Eh? Is there a captain on this ship?"
"Nonsense, of course the spaceship must have a captain," Vivienne glared at the big dog. In fact, she hadn't thought that there was a captain hidden in Assuman before, but she didn't show up until now, but in the spirit of "big dog" What you say must be refuted." This core idea, as long as Lily opens her mouth, she will definitely have to fight back. After she finished speaking, she looked at Lili suspiciously, "Speaking of which, you figured out what happened to your doggy voice before. Is something wrong?"
"I'm analyzing it, don't interrupt," Lily waved her hand vigorously, indicating that the situation was under control, and then she realized, "What is a dog cannon!! I am also a racial leader, can you respect me—I have already named that trick The mighty divine power strikes!"
"Pretentious, such a long name is enough to kill you eight hundred times on the battlefield, so it's called a dog cannon. Isn't it Hao Ren?"
How could Hao Ren have the time to listen to the bickering of these two enemies, and waved his hand without paying close attention to what the two said: "Dog cannon is dog cannon. An, take us to the will hub, we want to fight with the supreme controller of Asuman dialogue."
Although An is Asuman's supervisor AI, Hao Ren knew from the very beginning that she was not the real supreme administrator of the spaceship. She will take over control only when she is in control of the ship, and the real captain of Azuman has actually been sleeping in the core of the ship—since Lockmarton briefly broke out of control 10,000 years ago, Kolo divided into old and new In the two worlds, Asuman became the gate that blocked the passage of the old world. The captain fell into a long period of dormancy in order to maintain the core operation of the spaceship. It was not until Asuman was freed from this long mission that he regained consciousness .
This is the first time for Hao Ren and his party to meet him.
Under the leadership of An, they teleported into the core corridor of Asuman, and walked along the corridor to the crystallization hall where the hub of will is located. The mood fluctuated, but when she was about to reach the hall, she still raised her head and gave Hao Ren a serious look: "Thank you, you saved a civilization."
Hao Ren smiled: "I thought you didn't have much affection for the secular civilization of Keluo's world."
"Any civilization is valuable, and any race is also valuable. I didn't understand this before, but during the years of traveling and observing the human world, I realized that my mission is not just to guard a prison. Simple, but in the meaning of guarding this prison."
After An's voice fell, the gate of the will hub had appeared in front of everyone. Hao Ren unexpectedly saw another shimmering female figure in front of the gate: "Gatekeeper? Are you alive?"
"The data reorganization was completed using the backup left before," the gatekeeper replied unemotionally, "then he completed the completion of the memory library with the help of No. 2's memory data, and now he is back at work."
"That's good." Hao Ren nodded, and as the strange triangular grand door made of crystals in front of him disintegrated and opened silently, he led everyone into this special cabin called "Will Hub". .
This is a pyramid-shaped hall with the same shape as other cabins in the spaceship. The ground and walls are completely formed of various crystals. Various large and small crystal clusters spread and grow in every corner of the hall, and a mysterious glow flows on the crystal clusters. And all these rays of light flowed and converged to the center of the room, where a huge irregularly shaped crystal stood quietly. The crystal was crystal clear, almost completely transparent, and the contents inside could be clearly seen.
A cluster of light that looks like a frozen cloud floats in the center of the crystal. In the cluster of light, you can see dots of light like the starry sky of the universe. When you watch this cluster of light, it seems that there are countless people whispering in your mind, telling all kinds of things. Obscure arcane knowledge.
Hao Ren had made various speculations about Asuman's "captain" before. After hearing about the other party's deep sleep and the seemingly integrated state of the spaceship, he also speculated about his life form, but at this time he was still unable to restrain himself. Exclaimed: "The people of the starry sky?!"
The captain of the Asuman turned out to be a citizen of the starry sky? A living citizen of the starry sky who merged with the spaceship? !
This race has disappeared in the Dream Plane universe for ten thousand years. Even in the years that have not disappeared, it has been mysterious and seldom seen. However, a certain individual of them has appeared here, and it is also one of the wardens of Keluo Prison. One, participated in the Goddess of Creation's plan to suppress Loch Marton, and has been suppressed here since countless long years ago!
The moment he saw the people of the starry sky, countless information flashed through Hao Ren's mind, various conjectures about the people of the starry sky in the past, various activities of the people of the starry sky after the fall of the goddess of creation, and the impact of this mysterious race on the creation of the world. The extraordinary understanding shown by the goddess and her creations, they are always hidden in the dark, but the figure runs through the mysterious situation...
What kind of connection do they have with the Goddess of Creation
In Lockmarton's early memory, the original life of the Dream Plane that the goddess of creation first came into contact with should be these people of the starry sky. At that time, these mysterious races lived in the desolate "star grave", but due to Broken soul and distorted memory, the images that Hao Ren can see from the hallucinations are quite limited, and many of the images are hard to distinguish between true and false: they come from the memory of a crazy demigod, Hao Ren certainly can't believe them all.
And just as these various thoughts emerged one after another, Hao Ren suddenly heard a gentle voice resounding in his mind:
"Hello, divine blood bearer."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "The one who holds the blood?"
"I sensed it when you first visited this ship, it's on your right hand, the bloodstain of that god," said a gentle voice, "Her blood appears here , fate is really an elusive thing.”
"I have a lot of questions." Hao Ren calmed down and said seriously.
"I have a lot of questions, too," said the gentle voice, "but first I need to make sure of one thing—where are you from?"
Hao Ren has answered this question countless times, but he is not impatient: "I come from another universe, and another god rules there. I think An should have told you these things."
"Really..." Asuman's voice was noncommittal, and seemed to have some different opinions, but in the end he didn't say much, "You have proved yourself with your actions, I think you can be trusted, just ask, I hope you can get what you want. the answer you want."
"The Goddess of Creation asked you to guard Keluo? What is your relationship with the Goddess of Creation?"
"She ended the madness and darkness of the ignorant period of the universe, and opened the era of order and peace. Our entire race is blessed by her," Asuman said quietly, as if he did not have the emotional fluctuations that humans can understand, " Therefore, the Starmen surrendered to her and voluntarily became her jailers and sentries in the dark, even if the era changes and history is dusty, our mission will never end."
"After I eliminated Lokmarton, I read its early memories, and in the early memories I saw how the Goddess of Creation discovered you, but those memories are incomplete and messy, especially the process of Lokmarton's own depravity. It was completely stripped away by the forces of chaos. Do you know how Lochmarton fell? Did it touch a crazy and dark primitive will? We call this primitive will the 'Lord of Madness'. Does the crazy darkness of the ignorance of the universe mean the same thing?"
"Lord of Madness..." Asuman's voice paused, even he seemed to be subconsciously vigilant and evasive when mentioning this name, "It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call this name directly, the name itself It's a spell with power. Any race in the universe would use this name to refer to that primordial mad power. I'm sure you and I are talking about the same thing. To answer your question, I have to start from the beginning Starting from the earliest state of the universe, so that you can understand what happened back then."
After a pause for a few seconds, after Hao Ren and the others were ready, Asuman continued: "In the era of the origin of the universe, before the creation goddess came, the Lord of Madness was the ruler of all things. Born from the initial energy tide, blind and ignorant, although irrational, it affects the operation of the entire universe with its primitive instinct. Under its influence, the entire universe presents an extremely chaotic and dangerous state. At that time, the world was dangerous. Far beyond what you can imagine.
"Stars collapse and regenerate irregularly, various celestial body systems may collapse at any time, and everything is not absolutely peaceful. Under the gaze of the Lord of Madness, everything is in a state of being destroyed at any time, only those stars that are completely extinguished and dead Only the barren and cold star regions are relatively safe, but they are also shrouded in the shadow of random death at any time.
"The first life appeared and survived in such an environment—people of the starry sky, entropy demons, star debris, negative energy walkers, shadow beasts, a lot of life that may seem unimaginable to you, in a universe with normal order The life that is almost impossible to be born in the world just appeared in the energy aftermath of the Lord of Madness, and struggled to survive.
"We creatures from the ancient times are actually extensions of the Lord of Madness."
