Raven 12345’s words jolted Hao Ren and Lily out of their thoughts. The two of them instantly noticed the peculiarity of the situation.

Why did the demon hunter’s soul give Lily such a strange talent? It had directly enabled Lily to skip the learning process and acquire an ability—the divine spell—which was completely strange to her.

As the former master of the demon hunters, the present honorary leader, Lily felt it necessary to say something. “I think it’s mainly because I’m awesome. It’s as simple as that.”

She just wanted to express her opinion, and no one was taking her seriously anyway.

“The soul of a demon hunter is born with different talents,” Vivian said. She had been fighting with the demon hunters for thousands of years. “They can cast spells, make potions as well as weapons, and possess knowledge of mediumship. These things aren’t only engraved in their DNA, but also in the memory of their souls. So maybe they can use divine spells, which could even be their strongest ability. After all, they are the ‘perfect creatures’ created during the heyday of Holletta’s Magic Civilization.”

“But none of the demon hunters we’ve met have ever used divine spells.” Hao Ren became a bit confused. “Their sacred flame is somewhat similar to a divine spell, but that’s just an inborn ability, and fundamentally different from a divine one.”

Vivian tapped the table and said, “It’s because they come from the Plane of Dreams. If their souls are engraved with the power of divine spells, the power must come from the goddess of creation. But the goddess of creation is dead, so their divine ability has been cut off from the source. The demon hunters of today have completely lost the ability to perform divine spells. However, Lily may have lost some of the limitations in her soul when she got reincarnated in the wrong body. On top of that, she mingles with us and comes into contact with the divine power of the goddess. Her divine talent could have been reactivated. The conflict with Lockmarton’s Power of Chaos has further excited this ability.”

Hao Ren began to make sense of the whole thing. “It’s possible! It’s completely logical!”

Raven 12345 also nodded, apparently agreeing with Vivian’s conjecture. “If this theory is correct, then the demon hunters should be a race that’s inborn with the ability to use divine spells.”

Hao Ren looked a little serious because he knew how incredible the ability was. It even challenged the very laws of nature in the mortal world. Under normal circumstances, a mortal had to go through systematic learning to acquire such divine ability. He had to connect with the true God and utilize various ceremonies as well as prayer to be in resonance with the power of the true God. That way, he would be able to borrow strength from the resonance. But for people born with the talent, they were what some races called the “body of the Son of Heaven” and “the chosen ones” in the various legends favored by the gods. They were the only ones who were able to enjoy such a privilege. Of course, Hao Ren knew that the “chosen ones” in the Raven 12345 faith were not as glamorous as the name suggested. If the goddess ever gave away her divine ability to anyone, it was usually by mistake. She would recover it entirely on the spot. Otherwise, it would affect her year-end bonus.

However, it would be hard to tell if there had been some kind of accident in the goddess of creation’s system. After all, she had never gone to school.

“If the demon hunters are born with a talent for divine spells, then the significance of this matter is unimaginable,” Raven 12345 reminded them. “Do you still remember the origin of the demon hunters?”

Hao Ren’s heart skipped a beat. The information he had gathered quickly came to mind. “The demon hunters come from Holletta, the Plane of Dreams. It’s believed that the magical empire of ancient times stole some of the goddess of creation’s knowledge. By manually extracting the power of the lifeblood and making use of other biochemical technologies, they created the ‘perfect creatures.’ These creatures had immortal bodies, physiques that were far above that of any mortal race, the natural ability to acquire and master powers, and extraordinary learning ability. They were essentially super-creatures, the anti-God.”

“Original investigation material has determined that the demon hunters are taboo creatures created by the Ancient Magic Empire after they betrayed the goddess,” Raven 12345 said. She then looked up all of a sudden. “But if they are such creatures, how could they possess a talent for divine spells?”

Hao Ren was stunned.

“Divine spells are unique powers originating from the ‘information interference’ of the true God. You also probably remember the Grand Unification Theory. The theory states that everything in the universe is the manifestation of information. Various data and algorithms outline everything in the world, and the true God is a ‘source of interference’ that can perturb and manipulate all the underlying data. From this, we know that the power of the true God is a manifestation of the power of interference. If a mortal would like to perform divine spells, he or she must first borrow the energy from the interference process. Getting close to it is the first step.”

While she spoke, Raven 12345 drew various images in the air with her hand. She first created a group of lights, which represented the source of divine power—the true God. This was followed by waves that served as information, a dot, and the mortal world.

“The process of information interference is like a resonance. A strong source of information will ‘shock’ the weak source of information. If the weak source is to borrow the power of the strong source, the only way is to tune its frequency as close as possible to the source of interference and enhance the resonance. That’s why God’s followers can perform divine spells while the enemy can’t. It’s because the followers are closer to their god while the enemy is turning away from Him, and even actively blocking Him.”

By now, things had become clear to Hao Ren. “So if the mage emperors created the demon hunters using the stolen goddess’ authority, the demon hunters would never have the ability to perform divine spells!”

Raven 12345 dismissed the images in the air with a wave of her hand. “Let’s put it another way; since those mage emperors could create demon hunters with a talent for divine spells, they had to still be faithful to the goddess of creation. Their process of creation had to be based on faith. But faith alone wouldn’t be enough, they would’ve had to inscribe the ability of divine spells in the soul of the demon hunters. This process of creation must be based on the power connection with the goddess of creation.”

Hao Ren felt as if a bolt of lightning just flashed across his mind.

His investigation in the Plane of Dreams had come full circle. It turned out that planet Holletta, which he first found in the plane, held such a shocking, hidden mystery.

“I knew from the start that many of Holletta’s ancient legends were flawed, especially the description about ancient humanity abandoning the goddess, leading to her death. But, I didn’t expect the deviation to be so outrageous,” Hao Ren Ren said as he pressed his hand on his forehead. “During the assassination of the goddess, the mage emperors of Holletta didn’t respond to the distress call of the goddess. Whether the signal was cut or not, the mage emperors must have stopped contact with the goddess of creation at that time. Nonetheless, the fact that they created the demon hunters is beyond me.”

“Our discussions are based on the premise that the demon hunters are born with the talent for divine spells. Any discussion beyond this is pointless. We must first verify this assumption,” Raven 12345 said.

Hao Ren nodded. He knew that if he wanted to continue his investigation, he had to find out the secrets behind the demon hunters’ talents. Right then, something suddenly crossed his mind. “Should I bring Lil Pea here? She was transformed by the Sacred Relic of Origins, and she now possesses the characteristics of a demon hunter.”

“I’m afraid she isn’t one.” Raven 12345 waved her hand. “First of all, she was just transformed by the Sacred Relic of Origins. She’s not a demon hunter by nature. Secondly, she’s been with us for a long time. Her meeting with me especially has influenced her nature; she’s not ‘pure’ enough. We must find pure-blooded demon hunters.”

“Well then, I’ll go to Coldpath in a couple of days and ask White Flame to find us a few purebred demon hunters,” Hao Ren said.

“The demon hunters on Earth may have changed when they crossed the Wall of Reality. I think Holletta still has the purest samples. The ancients there would be most appropriate,” Vivian said.

“Then we should look for Marshal Ophra’s help. I remember her being an ancient purebred species.” Hao Ren scratched his chin. “We can visit Becky too. I haven’t seen her in a long time, though we’ve exchanged a few messages recently. I wonder what she’s doing there.”

While talking about this, Hao Ren became a little emotional. It had been three years since he first met Becky. Hao Ren was still a rookie, who was timid and clueless when he initially arrived in Holletta. Now he had been to many universes and seen many different kinds of races. Hao Ren was not a rookie anymore, but he had begun to miss his old acquaintances in Holletta.

Were they done with their reconstruction after the First Born disaster? Did the intelligent black wolves, who migrated from the prairie to the snowy mountains, return to their homeland? Had Becky successfully treated Ophra?

When Vivian thought of those friends of theirs, she smiled. “I’ll go with you. Actually, I have a suggestion.”

“A suggestion?” Hao Ren looked at Vivian curiously.

“Yup.” Vivian nodded. “Let’s arrange for the demon hunters of Coldpath and the ancients of Holletta to meet. It may not be possible for the demon hunters to return to the Plane of Dreams, but since we already have a stable gateway, we can at least get them to meet their compatriots in their homeworld.”

Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily interrupted, “Let the people on both sides meet? Wouldn’t it be too early?”

“Perhaps not.” Hao Ren shook his head. “The portal in the Scarred Nebula is a stable passage. We can start planning a lot of things. For example, arrange for the Plane of Dreams survivors on Earth to slowly learn the truth, and even approach the reality of their history. Boss, what do you think?”

“You may,” said Raven 12345. “But be careful not to bring too many people through the portal. The gateway of the Scarred Nebula is mainly for you to transport material supplies. It may allow intelligent lives to traverse for a short time, but it will put pressure on the Wall of Reality, especially if you want to arrange for the survivors to return to the Plane of Dreams. The impact will be far greater than when you brought the Aerymian Elves into the Plane of Dreams. Hmm, as the first test for the Gate of the Universe, you should not bring more than 100 people this time. And, you must keep an eye on these people, don’t let them meander around in the universe.”

“Of course, I’ll plan it very carefully this time,” Hao Ren said with a smile.
