After confirming that the guardian giants did not need their help for the time being, Hao Ren came to a small hillside on the edge of this northern wasteland alone.Here, Muru and two of his friends built a small camp.The camp was used when the Tanagus ecosystem was just revived, when the three Guardian Giants watched over the planet's recovery until the Drom took root on the planet and then settled down in settlements near the wasteland.To this day, the abandoned camp still has little decay, the grass around the camp has been cleared, and there is even a newly built stone road with some fresh flowers and a few colored stone chips from the hillside.Hao Ren came just to see the scenery and think about some things by the way, and these things in the camp surprised him a little, he was about to ask Mu Lu or Sifu about the origin of these flowers, but before he could leave, he felt that someone was approaching this place.He found a corner to hide, and after a while, he saw several figures coming from the direction of the stone path.It was a couple of young men and women, the oldest of whom looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in the off-white uniforms rationed by the townspeople of the nearby Zom towns, and judging by the wear and tear of their clothes and the stains on their sleeves, they must have just come off work in a factory or something.Under Hao Ren's curious gaze, several young people stopped in front of the stone pillar left by Sif, a young girl put the flowers she had brought with her on the ground, and two boys took out colored stone tablets painted with paint from their pockets—it turned out that those small "sacrifices" were left by them.The young men did not stay long here, they left their offerings and walked around the camp, gossiping about things before leaving the hill with some laughter, and it seemed that they were quite familiar with the place, and they were considered familiar customers.After the young men left, Hao Ren stepped out of his hiding place, and a distorted light curtain appeared near him, and Lemendusa and Sif strode out of the light curtain."
The children come once a week," said Sif as a giant, she still had the softness and gentleness of a woman, and she smiled slightly at the mention of the young men, "they came from a town not far from the foot of the mountain, where there was plenty of water and some open metal deposits, and where the Djom had established a settlement after exploration, and which had developed well. ”"Are they offering to you?"
Hao Ren looked at the two giants in front of him curiously, "I thought that the Zhuom people who came out of the virtual world would not resume their religious activities for the time being. ”"Religion itself is a part of their society, and they have been devout believers in the goddess of creation since before they built the virtual space to take refuge," Sif said lightly, "but those children didn't come here because of religious activities, I just helped their town a little in the first place."
Because we didn't ask for anything in return, and the Dolms seem to be particularly ...... in that regard stubborn, so the townspeople decided to show their gratitude in this way after discussing it. ”Hao Ren smiled: "Is it just to say thank you?"
It seems that you helped a lot in the first place. ”"No matter how big you are, it's not as big as you can help them," Sif glanced at Hao Ren with a smile, "You seem to have forgotten that you are their 'savior', the Dolm people now seem to regard you as their second faith, and there are altars for you in large and small settlements, and three incense sticks every morning and evening......
Hao Ren suddenly almost choked on his own saliva and accumulated water in his lungs: "cough......
Ahem......
They just have enough to eat and have time to do this?
”"It's because of the difficult times that we need mental strength to make up for the lack of material," Lemendusa said with emotion, "I know you don't need this, but they do." ”"Tsk, they don't want to directly give them a higher supply of supplies, they have to be self-reliant and thank me for helping, Nolan's former compatriots are really a bunch of awkward guys," Hao Ren muttered, looking up at Liemendusa, "Anyway, don't you two get together more with your own compatriots?"
”"We've talked a lot, and it's not going to be impossible to see each other anyway," replied Lemendusa, "I've heard that you've set up a jump accelerator between that hub system and here, and it'll be easy to get back and forth in the future." ”"Of course, if you're interested, you can also go to the hub to have a look, the Goddess of Creation left something very unbelievable there," Hao Ren nodded, "By the way, why didn't Lorcan and the others show up?"
”"They're helping to adjust the Crystal Starship's antenna system on Asuman, and Asuman's listening in the direction of the Dark Abyss seems to have made some progress, and they can't leave for the time being," replied Sif who was standing nearby, "and......
Although they are also giants, they were created by their mother in the previous era, and they probably don't have that much interest in us 'distant relatives' who have been separated by an era. ”Hao Ren pursed his lips, and said in his heart that this must be the most violent "generation gap" in history - it is said that the three-year-old generation gap, this kind of difference of 108,000 years is not enough to describe the two species, right?
After that, the atmosphere was a little dull, and just when Seve couldn't help but want to find something to talk about, Hao Ren suddenly took the initiative to break the silence: "You two definitely didn't come to me specifically to gossip, right?"
”"It seems that I am really not suitable for this kind of tactful exchange," Lemendusa smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right, we have some questions for you......"
Hao Ren showed an expected expression: "About the Genesis Engine?"
Salamane told you all?
”"Not only the genesis engine, but also about our mother, about her unusual words and deeds in her last days," Lemendusa said calmly, "We know that you have something to hide from us, but we can also feel that you have no ill intentions, but at this time, can you say something?"
”Hao Ren sighed: "Alas, I knew that there would be such a day.Where do you start......
Let's start with the creation goddess being infected by the Lord of Madness and then schizophrenia in chronological order. ”The whole story went on for a long time, and even in the second half of the story, even Muru and Salamaran came to this hill.The four guardian giants sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, while Hao Ren sat on a stone pillar in front of them, telling the story of the ancient mythological era—a scene that should have been painted by a theologian in oil and might have become the jewel of a museum in the Zom civilization in 2,000 years......
When all the historical truths were peeled away from the fog and unfolded in front of the guardian giants, the time was approaching dusk.In the fading skylight, some early stars could be faintly seen, and the brightest of them was the Crystal Nucleus Research Station, the crystal palace suspended high in the ceiling, like a trumpet full moon.Lemendusa let out a sigh: "I see......
If that's the case, everything can be explained. ”"I hid it from you before, because I was worried that it would have too much impact on you, and I didn't fully understand the ins and outs of this matter at that time, and I was afraid that the truth in the future would be wrong after rashly telling you something," Hao Ren said frankly, "But the plan really can't compare to the change, I didn't expect Salamane to appear, and I didn't expect the truth of the creation engine to be like this......
Impactful. ”"You've underestimated the Guardian Giant's mind," Muru said as he spoke, but there was actually no hint of reproach in his tone, "We've even experienced the Battle of the Godslayer, and that disaster didn't break us, so what else would we not dare to face?"
”"The God-killing War is just a war of good and evil, and the self-split of the Goddess of Creation and many of the things she does in her polluted state are not so simple and acceptable," Hao Ren shook his head, "I was worried too much about this at the time. ”"No, your scruples are right, and frankly these truths have really hit me hard," Lemendusa said, "but for us, a mother is a mother, she is kind and kind, wise and powerful, and the part that has been polluted and divided by the Lord of Mad is not the real her, but just a monster of twisted chaos in the guise of her body and name."
If such a splinter were to be confronted, I believe that any sane Guardian would not hesitate. ”"That's fine," Hao Ren bowed slightly, "Then what about the Genesis ......Engine" "The Genesis Engine is not the only solution," Sif said before his words fell, she looked at Hao Ren with burning eyes, "I......
I can't say I know everything about you, but at least I'm sure you're not going to sit back and watch the Genesis Engine fulfill its 'mission', will you?
”As soon as these words came out, Muru and Lemendusa showed thoughtful expressions, while Salman looked at Hao Ren and his three compatriots with some surprise and surprise: he and Hao Ren had only been in contact for a short time, and he did not know what other means the "observer" had, and at the same time, he was a little curious about why his three compatriots had such confidence in each other.Hao Ren said his plan after a slight mutter: "First of all, we can rule out that the Creation Engine was under the influence of the Lord of Madness, and it should have been designed by the Creation Goddess based on her own will - therefore, Lemendusa, I hope you can continue to complete the work of building the Creation Engine." ”Facing the surprised looks of Liemendusa and Siv at the same time, he waved his hand: "Wait a minute, I'm not done yet - building it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to let it continue to run according to the original plan, and even if we build the Genesis Engine, we still lack the full nine golden discs, and without those discs, the Genesis Engine can't be started." ”Lemendusa looked at Hao Ren curiously, "Then what do you mean......"
"Xiling's technical power is the first in the void," Hao Ren showed an unfathomable smile, "I got a lot of information about the Genesis Engine from the Hub, plus the detailed data extracted from the Terminus Network, these things may add up to enough to crack that high-tech thing."
I'm going to go back to the world of the watch and let my family's comic goddess activity activities, but in order to facilitate future remodeling, we must at least build the shell of the engine. ”Salaman couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to Muru, "It's not the first time I've heard him say this about his god - what does he have to do with his goddess?"
”"The last time I asked, he said it was a contractual relationship, but last time he said it was a doctor-patient relationship," Mu Lu scratched his hair, "To be honest, I don't know what he is doing with his goddess, but at least one thing is certain, that is, he is indeed a true god behind him, and he is trustworthy in this regard." ”Salaman: "......
Anyway, after arranging many follow-up matters on the Dream Plane, Hao Ren finally returned to the watch world, and this time, he brought tons of information to his female boss.
