He Ren spoke of what he had been thinking.

"Gods cannot easily deny themselves, or it would lead to the collapse and shaking of all things that exist because of them. All their words and deeds have meaning, even a single thought, will interfere with the truth of the universe…" he said slowly, ending with a sigh, "This is probably the dilemma of the Creation Goddess."

Lili blinked, quite puzzled: "Huh? Being a god is so troublesome? You can't even say the wrong thing? Is that really being omniscient and omnipotent?"

He Ren thought that professional gods who were from formal academies and trained like Raven 12345 would certainly not have these problems. The biggest reason the Creation Goddess made things so complicated was that she had never gone to school. But after thinking about it, he really felt that this was not the time to say that, so in the end, he just sighed again.

"In any case, this should be very close to the truth," Izhaks said with a helpless expression. "The Creation Goddess was probably focused on planning a way to perfectly kill herself in the last moments of her life. I can't imagine what kind of enlightenment it takes for a god to make such a sacrifice… She almost gave everything for the order of this world, creating a situation of flourishing life with her own strength, but in the end, she had to use all her energy to arrange how to kill herself…"

"And even after taking this step, her plan was still disrupted," He Ren shook his head. "The changes in the First Born and the Guardian Giants can already be confirmed to be outside of her plan. Now I'm most curious about how the Creation Engine is explained… According to the Guardian Giants, the Creation Goddess had been manufacturing that engine for thousands of years before her fall, until the Godslayer War broke out, and her manufacturing work was hastily stopped, and then the Dream Plane had those scattered golden discs… If the Creation Goddess was already prepared to 'commit suicide,' then why did she still manufacture the Creation Engine? If the engine was more important, then she could have waited for the engine to be completed. Why did she let the Godslayer War suddenly break out? These clues are very contradictory."

"Perhaps the Creation Goddess suddenly recovered her memory of the Lord of Madness while she was halfway through manufacturing the Creation Engine?" Nangong Wuyue, who hadn't said anything, suddenly weakly raised her tail at this time. "Then she realized that this suddenly recovered memory was even more dangerous, so she had to put the Creation Engine aside and immediately start preparing for the 'suicide'…"

"The Godslayer race was tempted and corrupted, that is an undeniable fact," at this time, Muru also suddenly broke the silence. The Guardian Giant's face had been terribly gloomy since just now. What Asu-Man said shocked him, and he found it emotionally difficult to accept. However, reason still made him understand that the credibility of these things was very high, so he could only participate in the discussion assuming that this information was true. "And this process of temptation and corruption did not happen overnight. Wuyue's speculation is probably not feasible."

The crowd's speculation fell into a deadlock for a time.

The information provided by Asu-Man can be said to have completely disrupted the results of their previous investigations. Although it did not completely subvert them, it made many things that were originally without loopholes and doubts suddenly seem contradictory. And among all the doubts, the most contradictory thing was indeed the Creation Goddess' own actions during that period of time.

Tacitly approving or condoning the Godslayer behavior, but then panicking after the Godslayer War really began; building the Creation Engine, but being interrupted by her own plan before the engine was completed; recovering the memory of the Lord of Madness, but completely not anticipating that with the recovery of her memory, part of the Lord of Madness' power had already leaked, so that the extinction of the First Born was triggered when she fell…

In addition to these obvious contradictions, He Ren suddenly felt another huge sense of disharmony:

The Creation Goddess treated all the races she created equally and cherished them, so naturally, she should also include the Godslayer race back then. Regardless of whether there were factors of depravity and arrogance in this race's nature, the Creation Goddess should not be able to do something that would treat them as sacrifices—but in fact, if the Godslayer incident really had the Creation Goddess' tacit approval or even promotion, then she would be equivalent to watching one of the races she created being tempted and corrupted, turning into an incurable evil species, and even personally pushing these "children" into the position of Godslayer…

The Godslayer race did have its hateful aspects, but thinking about it this way, they seemed to have become pawns and sacrifices, and one of the people "playing chess" was actually that loving mother?

The moment this idea came out, it made He Ren feel a bit like his worldview was being subverted. However, as an inspector who had already witnessed countless events of life and death and the survival of civilizations, he knew that he could not judge things based on emotions and personal preferences. So, he silently noted these conjectures, preparing to continue analyzing them after mastering more information.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something else, so he quickly opened his portable space and took out a storage box used to keep dangerous goods: "Asu-Man, do you recognize this thing?"

The storage box opened silently, and in the faint blue light, a black, cosmic fragment-like longsword slowly floated up under the action of the anti-gravity field.

The Godslayer Sword "Tong Ren Jushi" had already been purified by the goddess, so it didn't need to be stored in this kind of security method. The sword in front of him was actually the "World-Splitting Blade" held by the corrupted Augustus VII. After the battle that day, He Ren had properly stored this sword—considering its possible corrosiveness and frantic disturbance, of course, this thing could not be allowed to continue to exist in the world.

"Where did you find this?" Asu-Man asked the moment he saw the sword. Although his voice still didn't have any emotional fluctuations, this hurried question seemed to show his tension and concern about this sword.

Asu-Man, like other wardens, was in a state of slumber when Lockmarton gradually broke free from his shackles. He knew nothing about what had happened during this time, and of course, he didn't know how the Annihilation Cultists obtained the World-Splitting Blade.

"The corrupted Augustus VII held this sword. If I'm not mistaken, this should be what Lockmarton bestowed upon him," He Ren paused. "In addition, the weapon that killed the Creation Goddess in the Godslayer War back then was also this kind of weapon. That sword is almost exactly the same as this one. Do you know their origins?"

"They were personally forged by the Creation Goddess."

Instantly, Wuyue straightened her tail, Vivian widened her eyes, Izhaks' scratching motion stopped in mid-air, Elizabeth fell off her father's shoulder, and Lili was stunned for a long time, squeezing out a syllable from her throat: "Awu?"

"That's impossible!" Muru looked astonished. "We have never seen Mother use any weapons, nor has she ever forged such things!"

"...Because they come from the 'previous era' that was forgotten and erased by the Creation Goddess, of course, you wouldn't know," Asu-Man replied faintly. "They were the weapons used by the Creation Goddess in the war against the Lord of Madness. There are two in total, called the 'Twin Blades of Termination,' meaning to end everything. When she led a legion from the Star of Origin to the Lord of Madness' lair, she held these two swords. As far as we know, these two swords were forged from the turbulent fragments of the edge of the universe, including not only the fragments of our universe, but also the remnants and energy of other destroyed worlds floating from outside the world barrier, so they are very powerful and enough to cause great damage to the Lord of Madness."

Speaking of this, Asu-Man paused, as if recalling that epic era: "...In the end of the war, the goddess held these two swords and rushed into the core of the Lord of Madness alone, releasing the energy sealed in the swords, which stopped the tyrant from moving—and the spread of energy waves destroyed several galaxies at the edge of the battlefield. But after the war, no one ever saw these two swords again… We always thought that the Creation Goddess had left them in the core of the Lord of Madness to enhance the power of the seal, but we didn't expect it to appear here…"

"It turns out that the Creation Goddess forged the Godslayer Sword…" He Ren muttered to himself in shock, feeling more and more that the secrets he had come into contact with in this Coro had far surpassed any previous adventure. "The two swords disappeared after the war against the Lord of Madness, and as a result, one of them was in Lockmarton's hands, and the other one reappeared as the murder weapon that killed the Creation Goddess…"

"You imprisoned Lockmarton for tens of millions of years, and even fought him for the last ten thousand years. Have you never discovered that it was preserving this sword?" Vivian looked at the crystal where Asu-Man was, her tone full of disbelief.

"All along, the main power to seal Lockmarton has been the divine power left by the Creation Goddess. We, these wardens, are only responsible for maintaining the edge of the seal, ensuring the integrity and stability of the physical structure of this prison. As for Lockmarton… you also know its particularity. No one can figure out its internal structure and operation mode. Only its creator knows how many things can be hidden in the body of this divine monster."

He Ren shook his head, vaguely feeling that there should be even greater secrets behind this matter. The Creation Goddess left the "divine sword" that she had used to fight against the Lord of Madness to Lockmarton, and did not tell the wardens. There were too many doubts about this matter itself.

Just then, a peculiar feeling suddenly rose in everyone's heart. This feeling was like the sun suddenly breaking through the clouds and fog after being shrouded in dark clouds and thick fog for many years, and like being released from a cramped and confined space after being trapped in it for a period of time—it seemed like just a brief illusion, but it really reminded everyone that the door to the world of Coro had been opened!

Asu-Man immediately reacted, and he quickly presented the scene outside on a holographic projection.

Coro's unchanging dead starry sky had disappeared, and a strange and vibrant starry sky was shining in the night sky.

Looking at this bright starry sky, He Ren felt that the confusion and mist in his heart had dissipated a little.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "We'll figure it out…"
