Hao Ren was surprised; Raven 12345 had completed the examination in just a split second. "Ah? It is already finished?"

"No, not completely. Some data needs to be reorganized, and some variations need to be corrected, but I may have discovered a secret hidden in the blood of the demon hunter," Raven 12345 said while she drew runes in the air. These runes immediately expanded and disappeared into the ubiquitous mist around them as if there was a huge invisible magic circle. The prismatical crystal columns that ran through the ceiling glowed radiantly and emitted a humming sound, as though there was a resonance. "I have long suspected the demon hunters' role in the whole event. Holletta—how could a remote planet be involved in the deicidal war? Someone even made arrangements on the planet to allow the natives to produce a super-composite person. Did the god killers take the time to teach the people in the remote mountainous region?"

It was precisely what Hao Ren had suspected. He looked at the goddess and was wide-eyed. "Have you found the clues?"

Raven 12345 slowed down and turned to look at Hao Ren. "It is not easy to explain. First of all, do you know what this hall is for?"

"It's an observation room." Hao Ren looked around the empty room. "You mentioned it just now."

"It's not that simple. If I wanted an observation room, I wouldn't have to put it in the white tower at all," Raven 12345 said with a mysterious smile. "With the most basic eco-pod, I can already conduct an examination of the mortal race. This white tower is the core research facility of the divine realm—I made it. It is directly connected to my soul and an extension of my thinking. It has almost the same level of divine power as mine. It can be said that the tower itself is equivalent to a true god like me except that it has no independent personality and thought."

Hao Ren suddenly realized the significance of this so-called 'observation room. "So this is..."

"This is a God Simulator," Raven 12345 said, her eyebrows arched and her face had an I-am-freaking-awesome look. "I simulate the power of the goddess of creation here. With the help of the computing power and energy of the white tower, I can achieve 100% recovery."

Hao Ren could not help but take a deep breath. "What do you mean?"

"What? You don't understand at all? Raven 12345 suddenly blinked. "I was wondering how you had suddenly become so quick-witted just now."

"I have no clue what you mean, but I find that it is cool," Hao Ren said without blinking an eye, "and taking a deep breath shows that you are cool."

Raven 12345 waved. "In short, in this room, the Goddess of Creation is virtually alive!"

Hao Ren understood it this time, and his jaw dropped. "Holy moly! How did you do that?"

"Thanks to the Tablet of Commandments and the primordial divine power of the Goddess of Creation that you found in Collow." Raven 12345 nodded at Hao Ren as a sign of approval. "I have to say that you have done a great job. With the things you have found, I have drawn a separate space inside the white tower. It translates my power and places it in the origin of cause and effect. I am not simply copying and storing the energy of the Goddess of Creation, but reproducing the fact that the Goddess of Creation is still alive. As soon as you walk into this place and activate the setting here, the fact that the Goddess of Creation is still alive will be established in this hall. Of course, since this is only a simulation, the Goddess of Creation here has no thinking and independent personality, but an empty computer server at best."

Raven 12345 sighed. "Because of the 'existence' of another deity here, it interferes with my power. I need the help of these runes to control the divine authority of the Goddess of Creation although this power comes from me."

"Now I understand," Hao Ren said. He had to admit that the neurotic goddess had a few tricks up her sleeve. "You have created the simulation to mimic the existence of the Goddess of Creation and let the demon hunters, or rather the Ancients come into contact with her. This way, you would be able to observe their influence in the deicidal war."

Raven 12345 raised her hand and drew an arc in the air. Changes immediately happened in the ubiquitous fog. Colorful light curtains appeared in the fog as if the aurora diffused in this space. Bright line segments were jumping between the light curtains. These segments were like the interference on the background wave, breaking the aurora curtains into pieces.

"It is a demonstration. The real divine power is far more complicated than this. It is a complicated mathematical process," Raven 12345 explained. "I have observed something: the energy of the artificial divine cells on the demon hunters has the exact frequency and wavelength as that of the goddess of creation. Of course, the energy levels between the two are different. But from the perspective of the signature, the two are almost the same."

"It is not hard to imagine." Hao Ren frowned. "It was because the primordial energy used by the mage emperors in the creation of the demon hunters came from the divine power sample of the goddess of creation. The first divine cells were produced with her divine power."

"That's right. Lorissa still retains part of the characteristics," Raven 12345 said and nodded. She then mentioned another thing, "Do you still remember that toward the end of the deicidal war, the goddess of creation sent out a distress signal but never got any response?"

How could Hao Ren forget it? "Of course, it is one of the things that triggered the guardian race to go mad. But according to my latest investigation, the mortal races in the universe did not receive the distress signal. They still maintained their faith in the goddess of creation and even performed various sacrificial ceremonies, but they did not receive the signal."

"It seems that you have guessed it too." Raven 12345's voice sounded serious. "If I am not mistaken, the signal was intercepted by the demon hunters, or rather the ancients."

"How is this possible? How did they do that? And they did not have the motives to do so at all!" Hao Ren was shocked.

"Yes, they have no motives. They did not even know that they had intercepted the distress signal of the goddess of creation—the demon hunters did not have the ability. So instead of saying they intercepted the signal, it would be more appropriate to say that the signal had been actively diverted to them. But there were no corresponding nodes to process the signal, and the distress message was lost."

Hao Ren's brows knitted together. "What the hell was going on?"

"The divine cells in the body of the demon hunters are incredibly successful. The energy level is shallow, but these things have successfully stolen the 'signature code' of the goddess of creation. Do you know the Trojan virus? These demon hunters were the Trojan Virus. They might have only a small number of divine cells in their bodies, but these cells are enough for them to imitate the divine characteristics of the goddess of creation and deceive the 'security certification' of the network. The Trojan virus embedded itself into the communication network between the goddess of creation and the ecospheres of the Plane of Dreams, replacing some of the nodes of this network. It was why the distress signal that the goddess of creation sent to her subordinate ecospheres could be intercepted. The interception did not come from the outside but inside the network. All of the signals the goddess sent were forwarded to the 'virtual nodes' formed by the first-generation demon hunters 10,000 years ago. Those virtual nodes could not process this information. The demon hunters could not even hear the voice of the goddess of creation. So the signal was lost, and no one even knew there was a signal."

Raven 12345 paused and took a deep breath. "At the last moment of the deicidal war, the communication network between the goddess of creation and the ecospheres that she created was replaced."

Was this the truth?

Was it the truth that the goddess of creation sent a distress call to all her children, but no one responded?

Hao Ren still felt it unbelievable. "Could a communication network that the true god used to monitor the universe be easily compromised from the inside?"

"Do you think so?" Raven 12345 rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. "Stealing and transforming divine power to create mortal cells that mimic the power of God is an extremely complicated and dangerous process. The reason why the ancient mage emperors could do that was due to the help they received from someone. This someone had the Tablet of Commandments with primordial divine power and a full set of technical information. The rate of success naturally increased significantly. The critical thing was that the goddess of creation was negligent. She obviously did not control her divine radiation to the entire universe, so she had not noticed something was wrong in the data network. Otherwise, how could a true god be cut off from her network be possible?

"Okay, okay, it was the fault of her never attending school." Hao Ren sighed with the head buried in his hand. "So this is the role that planet Holletta played in the deicidal war. It was the interception station that blocked the communication from the divine realm."

"Yes, it was an interception station. The communication network based on divine power is a virtual network. So the remote physical location of Holletta was not a problem at all. Just because it appeared insignificant in the entire ecosystem of the Plane of Dreams, it could remain under the radar. And no one would think that the distress signal sent by the goddess of creation would end up in that godforsaken place. Even though the guardians finally discovered it, the deicidal war had come to an end, and they simply could not reach the remote planet of Holletta from the Star of Creation in time to troubleshoot the network problem."

Hao Ren thought for a moment, and something suddenly crossed his mind. "Wait a minute, according to the characteristics of the true God, was it useless for the goddess of creation to send her distress signal to the mortal world? Even if mortals received the signal, their prayers and feedback had no effect on the deicidal war. The goddess of creation just didn't know that. So why did the behind-the-scenes guy painstakingly intercept the signal, and even create a new race with the help of others?"

"There is only one explanation. The mastermind who made this arrangement also believed that the faith of the mortal race would affect the kingdom of God. The mastermind was just as ignorant as the goddess of creation in this respect." Raven 12345 tapped her chin with her finger thoughtfully. "It doesn't matter. What's important is that this mastermind made this targeted arrangement before the deicidal war started."
