Chapter 1 Hao Ren Visits the Divine Realm

Hao Ren personally went to the Divine Realm the day after he had finished organizing all the reports and uploading them to Raven 12345, and he also brought two important parties—Vivian and Lily.

He brought the former because Vivian had an extraordinary relationship with the Goddess of Creation, and he brought the latter to figure out what the hell the dog cannon was…

In a pavilion in the "Garden of Heaven," Raven 12345 poured herself red tea while looking at Hao Ren with a strange expression: "To be honest, if it wasn't for my discerning eyes that wouldn't make mistakes in judgment, I would have suspected that you were being passive-aggressive and fabricating evidence to try to get away with sensational intelligence—how did you develop such a troublesome constitution? You were just going to find a crystal, how did you stir up such a big deal?"

Hao Ren could only smile awkwardly as he listened to Raven 12345's highly sarcastic teasing, while several pinned messages from the information network of this universe floated on the data terminal in front of him: Singer Tunala, Star Chanter Modell, Star Maiden Avina, Dragon Queen Galazur, and other famous inspectors had highly praised the new inspector Hao Ren after completing the last "Joint Operation," and they all said that they had never encountered such an exciting thing after working for thousands of years; in the past, they would just hold a meeting and blow up a demigod from another world, the bomb-tastic Ren deserved his name…

He didn't know why these big shots, who could cause storms with a sneeze in their own civilization circles, were usually so idle, the bomb-tastic Ren joke was going to last forever—thanks to them, Hao Ren accidentally discovered the three words "bomb-tastic Ren" in a theology textbook when he was browsing the cultural materials of a certain civilization circle, and it was marked as a must-test key point in cosmic sociology: that civilization circle was one of the civilizations that believed in Raven 12345, and one of the basic conditions for graduating from the seminary was to memorize the "holy names" of all the popes in the universe…

Fortunately, they were transliterated, otherwise Hao Ren would have wanted to die…

These nonsensical thoughts swirled in his mind, and Hao Ren twitched his lips: "To be honest, I myself couldn't believe it at first, but this information is really not fabricated. Locke Marton was the first life created by the Goddess of Creation, and he was a super demigod with some characteristics of a true god, and he was also the first creature to be infected by the Lord of Madness; the Goddess of Creation's memory was once cut off by herself, and the two stages of her memory also divided the Dream Plane into two eras; the key to the Lord of Madness's escape lies in the Goddess of Creation's memory, so it is very likely that the Goddess planned or acquiesced to the God-Slaying War ten thousand years ago in order to permanently seal the Lord of Madness; the God-Slaying Race was just a pawn, and besides the power of the Lord of Madness, there may also be tricks from the Goddess of Creation…"

Raven 12345 tapped lightly on the white jade table with her finger, each tap causing a ripple to spread out in the surrounding air, and countless shadowy phantasms seemed to emerge in the ripple, as she used this method to simulate and calculate certain key points in the evolution of the Dream Plane, in order to "predict" the internal connections and inconspicuous blind spots of this new information.

"In my opinion, Locke Marton's corruption caused the Goddess of Creation to lose her judgment. As an immature god, she should have devoted most of her energy to carefully controlling and learning her innate powers, but she interrupted this process at a critical moment and pulled up an army to fight the Lord of Madness to the death… Although it is excusable to avenge her son, she harmed herself and others." Raven 12345 shook her head, obviously quite sighed at this.

Hao Ren also sighed: "Locke Marton was also a tragedy… The Goddess of Creation gave him the power of a true god, but he did not have the will to control this power, but was gradually corrupted by the power. Before encountering the Lord of Madness, Locke Marton had actually shown signs of mental disorder, which is why he was corrupted so quickly—originally, as a divine creation, he should not have fallen so quickly."

"The authority of God is not so easy to bear. Rashly injecting one's power into a non-divine creature is the first and biggest mistake made by the Goddess of Creation," Raven 12345 spread her hands, "But what can be done? She didn't go to school..."

"I'm worried about one thing," Hao Ren glanced at Vivian, "The Goddess of Creation suppressed the Lord of Madness by erasing her own memory, in other words, by using 'memory blocking' to prevent the Lord of Madness from 'breaking out of prison' through the power of the gods, so I suspect that Vivian's 'amnesia' phenomenon is also related to this—after all, she is also considered an extension of the Goddess of Creation's divine power."

"You're worried that Vivian's activities in the Dream Plane will cause her to be infected by the power of chaos? Or that if she frequently comes into contact with knowledge about the Lord of Madness, it will cause the seal of the Lord of Madness to loosen?" Raven 12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes.

Hao Ren nodded: "That's possible."

"Actually, I think Vivian's amnesia is for another reason… You should still remember that the Goddess of Creation left behind a divine power ritual called 'Final Amnesty', which preserves the fire seeds of various races in the Dream Plane and constantly issues amnesty orders to these fire seeds to ensure the stability of the Dream Plane, and Vivian is a key link in this Final Amnesty, and she is also the 'guide' for the entire plan, which requires her to have complete memory to do. Analyzing from this perspective, the Goddess of Creation would not set a Bug for Vivian to periodically erase her memory," Raven 12345 raised a finger and shook it, "I tend to think that her amnesia was an accident and has no connection with the Goddess of Creation's 'memory blocking'."

Hao Ren frowned, not hiding his thoughts: "But I'm still worried."

"I'm fine," Vivian said, "If the Lord of Madness really targeted me, then I would have had problems a long time ago—the power of the Lord of Madness began to leak out ten thousand years ago, and he is an absolute madman who would never be patient and plan, his power has no incubation period, as long as you are infected, there will be a reaction immediately. Since I'm fine now, then it proves that nothing will happen in the future. Don't worry, Hao Ren."

Raven 12345's weird gaze swept back and forth between Hao Ren and Vivian: "Tsk tsk tsk, the sour smell of love..."

Vivian coughed in embarrassment, but Hao Ren was already used to his boss's style and replied without changing his expression: "Is it your business that I care about her?"

Raven 12345 was finally stunned for once, and Lily straightened up even more sharply: "What what what? Landlord bat, when did you two get together?"

"Get together my ass! We are innocent, okay," Vivian was ultimately a ten-thousand-year-old monster, and other than the initial embarrassment, she didn't actually have any extra expressions. At this time, she rolled her eyes at Lily, "You're a novelist, why do you use words indiscriminately? Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth..."

Lily slapped the table: "Bat, be careful! What I can spit out now is very powerful, do you believe that I'll go rinse my mouth now and spray you with a dynamic light wave?"

Her dog cannon skill was still not mastered, and she still needed to use water spray to preheat before she could successfully launch it…

Vivian and Hao Ren: "..."

Raven 12345 couldn't stand this nonsensical scene anymore and coughed with majesty (if she had it): "Ahem, pay attention to your attitude when reporting to God—otherwise, I'll give you each a blessing. Let's talk about Vivian's memory. Hao Ren, your worries are not unreasonable—although I still think that in the original settings of the Goddess of Creation, Vivian should not have a 'design' to periodically erase her memory, I believe that her current state of frequent amnesia must be related to the influence of the Lord of Madness. How about this, I'll prepare a ritual for her later to enhance her 'immunity' to the power of chaos. Before this ritual is successful, don't take her into the Dream Plane again. It's always good to be cautious."

Raven 12345's arrangement made Hao Ren feel a little more at ease. He nodded and then took out a few things from his personal space.

The first was the black longsword he obtained from "Augustus VII."

This evil weapon, called "Blade of World-Splitting," was still wrapped in the safety force field of the storage box. After the box was opened, it floated in a blue light. Hao Ren introduced, "This is the other 'God-Slaying Sword' that I mentioned to you, the one in Locke Marton's hands. I've done a preliminary inspection. It carries Locke Marton's aura, or rather, the chaotic power of the Lord of Madness. It can drive ordinary animals crazy and can also pollute matter and energy, but I didn't detect any 'echo wall' phenomenon."

"God-Slaying Sword… Its true form is actually the weapon of a god, no wonder it can accomplish the feat of 'God-Slaying'," Raven 12345 said while reaching out her hand, "Fate is really mocking the gods."

Her hand passed directly through the blue energy field and grasped the dark hilt of the sword, then easily took it out.

Layers of waves suddenly surged on the dark blade of the God-Slaying Sword, and a polluting force was about to vent out immediately.

Raven 12345 slammed the longsword on the table twice, and the energy that was about to get out of control dissipated instantly.

After successfully suppressing it, she stretched out her other hand and gently stroked the strange surface of the sword body, which was like a cosmic starry sky.

A layer of almost transparent fluctuations spread out from the place where her fingers touched. Under the fluctuations, even the eternally unchanging starry sky trembled slightly. During this process, Raven 12345 carefully felt the residual aura that was most likely derived from the Lord of Madness and compared it with the energy sample of the first God-Slaying Sword.

A few minutes later, she raised her head with a solemn expression on her face.

"The energy samples of the two God-Slaying Swords are inconsistent."
