Everyone asked in unison, "Missing a link?"

"The Ultimate Amnesty is merely maintaining the status quo, ensuring the highest divine authority operates along its past trajectory by preserving the balance between species and divine power created by the Goddess. But this status quo cannot last and cannot fundamentally solve the problem," Bai Se explained patiently. "The divine kingdom is still collapsing, and the divine throne is vacant. Given time, the forces of evil may still break through the seal. Therefore, this plan has a sequel: when the time is ripe, we must return to the original world and use the core key of this 'Ark of Genesis' to awaken the sleeping power of the Goddess—God is dead, but God can be resurrected. As long as the laws of the universe still operate, our mother can be revived, and then the divine throne will be re-established, and all forces attempting to destroy the order of the universe will have no chance to turn over."

Hao Ren felt his breath catch in his throat.

"So, which link is missing?" Lily asked impatiently.

"The Ultimate Amnesty consists of three parts. Yggdrasil is the 'ferryman'; I...he opened the wall of reality and safely delivered the selected 'sparks' to this world. The reason the Nine Realms are so vast is because this otherdimensional system was originally used to transport a large number of people. It's a 'dimensional immigration fortress.' All the heteromorphs on Earth, whether werewolves, vampires, or anything else, arrived in this world aboard Yggdrasil. Mimir is the 'guardian of the archives.' He is responsible for piloting the Ark of Genesis, monitoring the operation of the Ultimate Amnesty, and managing all the archives. We also have a 'guide.' This guide is the most important part, but from the beginning, the guide has been missing."

"Guide?" For some reason, Hao Ren suddenly thought of Vivian, but he didn't say it. He just curiously asked for more details. "What does this guide do?"

"The guide is an agent created by the Mother with her own bloodline. She records various secrets that only the Mother knows and holds a series of secret instructions. These secret orders are the action instructions waiting for us after crossing the wall of reality. However, this most important guide has been missing from the beginning. Without her memory data, we don't know the next program of the Ultimate Amnesty, nor do we know when to return to the divine kingdom, or even how to return there—in fact, we don't even know how to re-enter the divine kingdom. These secrets are only in the guide's memory."

Immediately, everyone on Hao Ren's team except Lily and Doudou turned their attention to Vivian. Lily and Doudou didn't react because one was spacing out and the other was watching her space out.

"I think..." Hao Ren sized up the "vampire girl." "We've finally found the truth."

"Is there a problem?" Bai Se didn't know what these people were doing, so he asked curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be your guide," Nangong Wuyue used her tail to push Vivian forward. "Created from divine blood, with an important mission. The only problem is she doesn't know what she's supposed to do."

Vivian was pushed forward in an almost dazed state. She was stunned for a moment before pointing at herself in a bit of a panic. "Oh, right, I'm a divine blood avatar. But I don't remember any of those orders you mentioned..."

Bai Se floated in front of Vivian in a flash. Hao Ren even felt the ground beneath his feet shake at the same time: Yggdrasil twitched. Obviously, Xiao Hei was also listening to the situation.

"Guide?" The shapeless white light trembled violently. Even the eldest son couldn't remain calm in this situation. He circled Vivian several times quickly, but finally stopped, somewhat confused. "No, something's not right. You don't look like a guide."

"What do you mean I don't look like one?" Vivian was a little dissatisfied at this point. "Let me tell you, my bloodline is as pure as it gets. I'm definitely not lying to you."

"Your power, your soul, your bloodline—they contain too many impurities and are terribly weak. None of them look like a guide. The guide should be the closest of the three of 'us' to the Goddess, and the strongest in power... you're nothing like that. To be honest, if the guide had really appeared here, I should have sensed it long ago."

Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other. They didn't know what Bai Se's specific criteria for judging a guide were, but they could guess some of the general reasons. Hao Ren tentatively said, "I can probably explain her current state—just like you and Mimir each encountered trouble, Vivian also has trouble. She has a disease called forced slumber and splitting..."

In the next ten minutes, he explained Vivian's symptoms to Bai Se in detail. During the explanation, Hao Ren paid attention to observing Bai Se's expression—after observing for a few minutes, he felt like an idiot, because Bai Se didn't have an expression...

There was no way to judge what he was thinking; he could only tell that he was listening very carefully.

"Forced into slumber every few centuries? Splitting occurs during slumber, producing an evil spirit doppelganger called a 'malevolent entity'? And losing a portion of your power and memory? And you became a vampire under inexplicable circumstances?" After Hao Ren finished explaining the situation, Bai Se indeed showed a strong interest. He hovered back and forth in front of Vivian. "Hmm, assuming everything is true, then there is no doubt about it: the trouble you encountered is essentially the same as the trouble Mimir and I encountered. They are all hindering us from completing our mission."

This almost certainly meant that the mastermind was causing trouble.

Vivian didn't know what she was thinking, but suddenly she gnashed her teeth, grinding her back teeth while rubbing her fists. "So someone was messing with me, making me so unlucky for the past hundred centuries! I've written this down..."

Lily immediately chimed in, "Bat, don't force an excuse. Even if the mastermind is messing with you, it's only making you lose your original power and memory. You're poor because that's your fate..."

Vivian: "... Big dog, can't you say something nice?"

In the end, Vivian's identity was confirmed, no matter what. Although everyone couldn't find any concrete evidence, Hao Ren was still 100% sure that Vivian was the "guide" Bai Se spoke of, the overall commander of operations set by the Goddess of Creation before her death.

Now they only had one problem to face:

This guide had been dazed for ten thousand years, and she was still dazed, and for the foreseeable future, she would probably continue to be dazed...

"How would I know what I'm supposed to do..." Vivian looked troubled and depressed. "I've been fighting my poor fate for the past ten thousand years, and I have amnesia every now and then. Where am I going to come up with a bunch of 'secret instructions'..."

For some reason, Hao Ren suddenly thought of those "malevolent entity" doppelgangers that Vivian had split off.

Obviously, the others also thought of the same thing.

"The secret is probably in those split-off power avatars," Bai Se didn't use "malevolent entity" to refer to those split individuals, but used the more neutral "power avatar." "That's the only thing known to have been lost from the guide. But according to you, those power avatars have been severely corrupted, and it's dangerous to recklessly recover or contact them... Do you think this corruption might be similar to the corruption of Yggdrasil?"

When Hao Ren heard this, his mind immediately became active. He took out the Godslayer Sword from his portable space and waved it in front of Vivian. "How about I poke you a bit and see?"

Vivian's response was a bolt of jumping lightning.

"It's best not to try this lightly," the Godslayer Sword itself spoke. "I don't sense anything like an 'echo wall' in her mind. Her problem probably isn't something I can solve."

"Okay, we can slowly study this problem after we go back," Hao Ren waved his hand after running all the information through his mind twice, indicating that this topic could be put aside for the time being. "I'll write a report after I go back and ask our boss what he thinks about this. As for now... let's discuss the arrangements for the Nine Realms next."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lily, Izhaks, and the others immediately didn't intend to express their opinions, while Garador and Anthony became serious: it was now the inspection officers' work meeting time.

"First of all, this is your jurisdiction's affairs, and our opinions are just for reference." Garador first stated his position.

"The main race in Dusk City is human," Anthony gave his opinion. "Completely Earthlings. According to general judgment standards, their homeland is Earth."

Garador shook his head. "But they probably can't integrate into Earth society anymore."

"That's right," Hao Ren also agreed with the Dragon Queen's view. "The premise of civilization returning to its place is that it still has the conditions for returning. But now, Earth civilization and this... Dusk civilization are already vastly different in form. It's okay to treat them as two civilizations. In this case, can we abandon the racial genealogy and directly handle them as alien civilizations?"

Garador and Anthony looked at each other, and then the two old foxes began to rummage through the relevant management regulations.

Finally, Anthony nodded. "Yes, but the Dusk civilization must be re-registered. Also, have you considered where to settle them? This 'Nine Realms' is ultimately a series of otherdimensional spaces. They wander in the main material universe and are not suitable for civilization development in the long run."

Hao Ren smiled. "Don't worry, I just thought of a particularly suitable place, and I'm just about to start a big project there..."
