Chapter 1018 The Origin of Power and the Truth of the Year

Hao Ren vaguely remembered 12345 Raven had once lectured him on this topic, but everyone knew how much he cared about his goddess sister... In short, he had basically been spacing out during Raven's last lesson.

So at this time, he could only shamelessly express surprise: "There's such a thing?"

"I remember when I told you this, did I remember it wrong?" Fortunately, Raven 12345's brain was sick and had already given up on treatment. She was slightly puzzled, but didn't think too much about it. "In short, true gods don't need the prayers of believers to provide energy. Whether it's the Star Domain or the Xi Ling God System, or the far-off Huron God System and those guys on the other side of the void, we don't need any external source of power. The reason is... true gods are the 'source.' We ourselves can be the source of the evolution of all things. All information in the universe is controllable to us, and even can be created out of thin air. You yourself are a money-printing machine, do you still need someone to pay you a salary?"

After a pause, Raven 12345 added: "And there's another reason: the 'power' we use is very different from the understanding of ordinary races. For example, the secondary you-energy that I let you come into contact with—you can find that this kind of energy is simply unreasonable. It takes effect simultaneously in all dimensions of all things, unconditionally affecting everything in the universe. And the power that the gods usually use is even more high-end than it—no matter how pious the prayers of believers are, they are nothing more than changes in spiritual power. Can it charge this kind of original power?"

Hao Ren rubbed his chin: "This is equivalent to carrying a fire stick to light a nuclear reactor, right..."

"That goddess in the Dream Plane has the characteristics of a true god, but she needs the prayers of believers to provide power..." Raven 12345 frowned, "After my careful deduction, there are only two possibilities. Either, her true god characteristics are fake, and we were completely wrong from the beginning, or she is indeed a true god, but she doesn't know how to control this power at all. She has the bloodline of a true god, but doesn't know how to use it, so she has been spinning around in low-level energy circles from beginning to end... To the point where she had to pin her hopes on the power of the believers' prayers to save her life."

Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 expectantly: "Which one do you think it is?"

Raven 12345 patted her chest: "I care about my reputation, so I definitely can't be wrong, so I choose the second one."

Hao Ren: "...Are you serious?"

"Believe in my goddess's intuition, because you have nothing else to believe in anyway," Raven 12345 raised a finger and waved it in front of Hao Ren's eyes, "And the second possibility really exists. A true god accidentally fell to the mortal world, lost her memory, and forgot all her skills, so she had to start from the most basic place and relearn..."

Hao Ren suddenly became serious: "Has this kind of thing happened in the God Realm?"

The goddess sister was very straightforward: "I haven't heard of it, but I saw it on TV."

Hao Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you be more reliable for once..." "Boom!"

Hao Ren stared wide-eyed at Raven with a bird's nest on his head, the latter innocently shrugged his shoulders: "Don't blame me, divine punishment is a matter of the great universe's will."

Hao Ren endured his goddess sister's nonsense again with the determination to give up treatment. He really began to seriously deduce the possibility that the creation goddess of the Dream Plane had her power reduced due to memory loss. After all, according to Raven, true gods knew how to use more advanced methods to replenish their advanced energy. And the goddess of the Dream Plane had the characteristics of a true god, but relied on the prayers of believers to save the day... That could only be explained from a half-baked perspective.

He was also unwilling to believe that a lot of the previous reasoning and research with Raven 12345 were wrong.

After temporarily defining the matter in this way, Hao Ren crossed his hands and raised another matter with a very serious attitude: "There is another point that I am a little puzzled about, which is the problem that no race responded after the Dream Plane goddess issued a call for help throughout the universe. The guardian's explanation is that those mortal races were all turned against her by the rebellious son. In order to share the power of eternal life after the goddess's death, they refused to provide support, but I went back and thought about it..."

"When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds; when there are many children, it is impossible for every one of them to be a scoundrel, right," Raven 12345 saw what Hao Ren was struggling with at a glance, "The Dream Plane is a very vast universe. According to my analysis of the goddess's abilities, if she really devoted herself to exploring the universe, then there must be hundreds of thousands of civilizations that were seeded. Among them, there must be ten thousand or eight thousand who still remember who their biological mother is. So many children shouldn't have all forgotten their last name."

"Although your statement is a bit strange... but that's basically the case."

"The goddess did call for help, and according to the situation in Holletta, the people on that planet did hear the call for help, and after the god-slaying incident, they consciously tampered with history to cover up their crime of adding insult to injury to their creator," Raven 12345 lightly tapped the round table with her finger, as if she was knocking out every key point, "All of the above is consistent with the 'guardian's' statement, but there is one question that you can't verify and he can't confirm—did the other planets really hear the call for help?"

Hao Ren suddenly became solemn: "You mean..."

"In the case of insufficient information, maintain skepticism about all unknown parts. As long as it is logical, it is possible to happen," Raven 12345 earnestly educated her assistant, who was not yet mature, "For example, some calls for help may be intercepted, for example, the goddess's power was already weakened to a certain extent at the time, and she may only be able to send the call for help to a very limited range, or for example... those mortal races all heard the call for help and responded, but these 'prayer powers' were intercepted by someone, so the guardians mistakenly thought that the goddess was betrayed by all her children, or even more outrageous other possibilities. As long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible, after all, the truth of that year has been completely submerged by time."

Goddess sister's words suddenly broadened Hao Ren's thinking. He finally knew what he had been struggling with all day yesterday. He knocked on his head: "What happened to my usual unconstrained imagination..."

Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a smile: "You've been too cautious recently, and nervous, stressed, and unable to make many creative judgments when you're tense."

Hao Ren was very surprised: "How do you know? Could it be... the feeling between a god and an envoy?"

"Feeling my ass, I've seen countless people, and I can't tell that you had insomnia last night. If you can't sleep next time, try praying. I don't expect you to have much faith in me, I just hope you can believe in my..."

Hao Ren didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, and couldn't help but be moved, but he heard the second half of the sentence just halfway through the emotion: "Believe in my lullaby. It was my mistake that I didn't sing in tune last time, I dare you to try again next time..."

"Let's talk about work," Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly changed the subject, "Everything you said is possible, but why didn't the guardian giant think of these? He should have realized that it was impossible for all mortals to betray the goddess after a little reasoning..."

Raven 12345 stared at Hao Ren's eyes, and only after making the latter feel terrified did she say, word by word: "Your own mother was blown to pieces in front of you, and then you asked him to calm down and reason a little?"

Hao Ren: "..."

"The guardian giant in your mouth may be much stronger than ordinary mortal races in terms of power, but I know their physical structure. In my eyes, they are just some stronger mortals," Raven 12345 breathed out, "Emotional, fragile, with emotions, with humanity, with variable good and bad values and attitudes, and more importantly, all of the above are uncontrollable... Apart from that little bit of divinity, they are not much different from mortals."

After a pause, Raven 12345 sighed, as if talking to herself: "And no matter what, the situation at the time must have been chaotic to the point where there was no way to conduct any investigation. The entire god kingdom was blown away, the control network of the eldest son collapsed, and the various mortal species were shrouded in the doomsday disaster. The center of the universe was a mess... Even if the surviving guardians wanted to investigate something after that, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find any clues. And even if there are some clues today, they should have been smoothed out by time."

After a few seconds of silence, Hao Ren nodded: "In any case, he should have calmed down now, after all, ten thousand years have passed, and I have talked to him a lot... Let's talk to him about this next time we meet, I hope he can listen."

"You should have other questions," Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren's eyes and smiled, "It seems like you're quite conflicted? But ask, I'm broad-minded, at worst I'll beat you up for a while, no one will die."

"You're really..." Hao Ren shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether his goddess boss was kind or hateful, "Actually, there is a question that I really don't know whether to ask or not, but I'll ask it even if I shouldn't—if one day your creation decides to betray you, what would you do?"
