Chapter 683: The Origin of the Return Sect
At the last moment of the mass extinction 10,000 years ago, the safety device of a part of the seeds of life was suddenly activated, forcibly putting the out-of-control eldest son into a deep sleep, so that a small number of races in the universe survived. The inhabitants of the planet Holleta are among the survivors - although Hao Ren has not seen more survivors, he thinks that planets like Holletta that have survived the disaster of the firstborn must still exist, but they are hidden in some corner of the universe waiting to be discovered.
However, it was not the seed's own vigilance mechanism or the self-rescue operation of the magic emperor who accidentally hit the safety lock back then, but the giant and some of his brothers and sisters in front of him, these guardians who had just watched their mother being killed by mortals with gritted teeth and hatred. They activated security protocols at the center of the universe, the Seed of Life Control Center, which protected a small number of mortal civilizations.
In the eyes of the Guardians, the phenomenon of the "mortal race" is the culprit of Daozhì's own mother's death, and they have completely stopped believing in the loyalty and morality of any mortal species, nor are they willing to distinguish between good and bad mortals, this kind of thinking is the reason why all Guardians have fallen into madness and mutation. But the last order of the goddess forced some of the guardians to maintain their sanity - even if they were filled with anger and grief, they still regarded their mother's order as the first rule, and so the giant who still kept his sanity in front of Hao Ren survived.
This is the truth of 10,000 years ago, which is so far from the original conjecture that it is unexpected.
"No mortal species is worth saving," the giant hung his head. The voice seemed to come from the chest, "But this is the mother's last command before she dies." We must do it unconditionally. So we activated the safety lock, after the Founding Star was pushed into the dark realm by the Big Bang. The seeds of life and their first generation in the universe were sealed, and our mad brothers fell asleep, but by then, there was not much life left in this universe. ”
Hao Ren guessed that "the founding star was pushed into the dark realm by the big bang" should refer to the explosion of the red nova, the moment when the goddess of creation was completely killed by the rebels. Now all the timelines are corresponding.
"And after that?" Vivien looked at the giant curiously, "You ...... Keeper who kept his sanity, how did he live after that? ”
"We're separated," the giant shook his head, "and some of the Guardians want to find the remains of the Mother. They set out to find the dark realm, and after that they were never heard from again, and some of them slept in all corners of the universe, burying themselves in this way. Mother is gone, most of our compatriots have mutated, and the remaining Guardians realize that they have lost their meaning of existence, and we fall apart......"
The giant slowly talked about the last days of the Guardians, and also mentioned the reason why he had come to Halletta. After saying goodbye to his siblings, he wanders aimlessly through the universe in a spaceship that was damaged during the war. And experienced a thousand years of wandering. He had thought of dying in wanderlust and finding a star to live when the ship was completely out of control—and he believed that many Guardians who were as awake as he were would have chosen this path. But just as he was about to reach the end of this wandering, he discovered a planet: Halletta.
The giant realized that when the safety device of the Seed of Life was activated, it was not only the "innocent" who did not know what was happening. He also included the rebellious fellow party who refused to support his mother, so he changed his plans.
Since the enemy of the day did not die, it is necessary to continue to take revenge.
"When I discovered this planet. The whole world has not yet recovered from the blood tide disaster," the giant's love seemed to calm down. He spoke unemotionally about his arrival in Holletta, "The tentacle remains of the Primordial Guardians and the ruined human kingdom can be seen everywhere. But even so, there are still quite a few mortals in the world who have survived. They have survived between the ruins and the wilderness, civilization has regressed to a near-primitive age, but in any case, they are still alive, and they are still shamelessly covering up the sins of the past - I have watched them in orbit for years, watching them burn the religious texts of the past, indoctrinate newborns with distorted history, constantly exterminate the remnants of society's 'introspective', and even completely seal the memory of the goddess of creation, as if doing so would wash away the sins of the body. They lived trembling and sinful, while I lurked under the cover of a meteorite impact. I need time to repair the weapons on the ship, and I need to heal my injuries......"
"This lurking is thousands of years," Hao Ren couldn't help but speak, "You have witnessed the rebuilding of the Horleta civilization with your own eyes. ”
"I've seen a lot with my own eyes," the giant's voice said with a sense of ambivalence, "yes, that's what makes me hesitate." I didn't expect them to regain their faith in the goddess of creation, and I didn't expect them to be able to restore so many things from those thin innate memories and historical fragments. One by one, the original executioners died, and the psychological pressure and curse from the origin of the world made those who could have lived for many years very short-lived, and after their deaths, their children inherited the world and began to worship the goddess of creation again. I soon discovered that the mortal world was changing faster than I had imagined, so fast that I didn't have time to get revenge, and the whole era was over. ”
"So it's awkward when you fix the ship." Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh for the giant. He raised his head and looked at the behemoth figure, but he saw endless contradictions, entanglements, confusion and confusion in the god-like and majestic figure of that day. The giant struggled in the shadows of his myriad pasts, and judging anything related to him by pure good and evil seemed powerless. It is true that he was obsessed with destroying the civilization on the planet Miè Holletta, but at the same time, he had long since given up this idea in his heart, and he had spent thousands of years preparing weapons and destroying Miè plans, but these actions were more like pure obsession drives:
The giant knew that revenge was meaningless, but if he didn't, he would have no meaning in himself.
Lily wanted to break the uncomfortable silence by mentioning the Returnees: "Did you organize the cultists?" ”
"I didn't take the initiative to organize any sects," the giant shook his head, "they gathered spontaneously. I had fallen asleep for a short time when I had landed on this planet to regain my energy, and it was during that time that some humans discovered the cave where my ship was hidden. The thoughts that leaked out of my sleep affected the spirits of these human beings, and they knew about the Goddess of Creation and the Rebel Son...... They became fanatical returnees that even surprised me. I didn't expect that a human would become as angry as the Guardians after learning the truth, and even willing to do something to their own people for it. Anyway, I was relieved by their behavior, so I didn't stop them, and even opened some of the structures in the cave for them and their descendants to live in, and I taught them something so that they could help maintain my base...... That's all. ”
There is no need for the giant to make up nonsense at this time, so his words have a high degree of credibility. It seems that the Giant is indeed the behind-the-scenes leader of the Reversion, but it is more like a symbolic spiritual leader, and the beliefs of the Reverters arise spontaneously after they come into contact with the Giant's mind. This also explains the biological transformation between magic and technology of the Revert Sect: the giants should not have the heart to study the biochemical technology of a group of small mortals, so those technologies should be tossed by the Reverters in thousands of years of self-exploration, and their technological level naturally cannot be compared with the giants' warships and bases.
"The Returnees once tried to assassinate the Pope with a kind of scroll," Hao Ren took out the fragment of the Divine Scroll from the space he carried with him, "This is it. Did you give it to them? ”
The giant looked down, "Yes, but all I gave them at first was some raw materials, which were made on one of the moons of the Founding Star, and were blessed by their mother. Those returnees made sacred relics out of these ancient materials, but I don't know exactly how they were used. I don't pay attention to these things. ”
Hao Ren looked at the scroll fragment in his hand: "No wonder this thing has a divine ......" (to be continued......)
