The Record of Unusual Creatures

After arriving at the oblique nebula, Hao Ren had seen things that left him dumbfounded more than once. Ten thousand years was compressed into ten hours here, bringing a wonderful sense of the paradox of time. He saw that the thick smoke still billowed over the battlefield, the fallen soldiers killed 10,000 years ago had only just fallen down here, and the ruins were still warm. However, none of these surprised him as much as what he had just seen: The birth of Vivian from the lifeblood.

Vivian was actually created by the goddess, the material used was lifeblood, and she was clearly a unique individual. This was no longer a conjecture, but a clear and unmistakable fact. He even knew that when Vivian was just born, she did not have a body at all. Her appearance at first was a mere imitation of the appearance of a female commander—what a dramatic fact. The most unique creation of the Goddess of Creation actually shaped itself after seeing the appearance of a rebel.

“Luckily battie did not get to completely imitate the woman. Otherwise, her skin would be pale gold,” Lily stuck out her tongue and said.

Hao Ren did not respond. In his mind, all sorts of information about Vivian were rapidly regrouping and rearrangement. A lot of things he had been trying to figure out were clear now. Y’zaks was also pondering something. He then asked, “So, what kind of race is Vivian?”

“I think she doesn’t belong to any race,” said Lily while scratching her hair, “she’s not even the Firstborn or guardian, I think she’s just a super life.”

“But she looks like a vampire now. How did she become like this?” Y’zaks asked curiously.

“Because of imitation. Maybe when she came to Earth, the race she first met was vampires,” Hao Ren guessed, “according to the surveillance footage, Vivian didn’t have any shape or form initially, so she just copied whatever she saw, and the situation might have persisted for some time until she had a clear sense of self. It’s not important anyway. As a creature born from the lifeblood, I’m not surprised at what she had become.”

He dropped these things aside and then connected Petrachelys. “Muru, have you all seen it”

Hao Ren had been keeping in touch with the three guardian giants and they could see all the footage via the data terminal. Apparently, the surveillance footage had also deeply shaken the three guardians, especially Muru, who knew Vivian. “Are you sure that the woman who was born from the lifeblood is the one living in your house?” asked Muru.

“You all know who she is?” Lemendusa asked eagerly.

“Of course we do,” Hao Ren replied, “she is Vivian, and she’s in my house now. Her present identity is an ancestor of the blood clan on Earth.”

“She’s with you?” Lemendusa sounded unusually agitated. “I want to see her! She should be the key from the mother. She must have some important information to convey to us…”

“Sorry, I’m afraid there’s nothing she can do even if you meet her. She had no idea of her origins, her memories were all gone, and she had no idea of her relationship with the Goddess, and if I hadn’t been investigating, she wouldn’t have known that she was actually coming from the Plane of Dreams,” said Hao Ren.

“Next time we come to this world, I’ll take her with me. But don’t get your hopes up. Muru has met Vivian. He can testify that he can’t feel anything about the Goddess of Creation on Vivian,” Hao Ren promised.

“Vivian…” Lemendusa could only sigh. “OK, I know.”

Hao Ren then turned to the dead commander and crouched down to check the body. “How long has this man been dead?”

The data terminal scanned the body, roughly inferring that the person’s death time was about three days ago—the standard time on Earth. Given that this galaxy was distorted for 10 hours, Hao Ren was finally able to sort out a timeline:

In the final battle before the explosion of the Star of Creation, the Goddess created the prototype of Vivian (that blood) and sent it to the depths of the universe. But for some unknown reasons, the blood came to the battlefield of the Solenne Gateway and broke into the battleship of treacherous children. Those treacherous children then abandoned the battleship for ‘being watched by the Gods’. At the same time, Vivian imitated the appearance of a female officer and opened the dimensional door to leave that world.

Then the war went on, and two days later, the crucial event occurred: the Star of Creation exploded. The time of Solenne Gateway was distorted in the explosion and plunged into a strange limbo.

And Vivian had crossed The Wall of Reality before the explosion. Her first stop was Inferno between the cracks in time and space. She split herself into two on the planet and teleported directly to earth through the gate of Inferno and it was very likely that she lost her memories at that time. After that, part of her left in Inferno to save the planet while she began to wander unconsciously on earth.

Vivian had been wandering for 10000 years, and at the same time, the Solenne Gateway was still sinking in the mysterious Umbral Realm. In the distorted time and space, this place had spent 10 hours in the Umbral Realm. To put it exaggeratedly, the bodies of rebels who were killed by Vivian’s blood magic were still warm.

Hao Ren looked up at the empty hall and muttered, “I can’t believe that Vivian just left this place three days ago! Lily, go and sniff around. Maybe you can smell the bloody scent she left three days ago!”

Lily tried to sniff around and then said, “But she has been so poor on Earth for 10,000 years!”

“…”

Luckily Vivian was not there, otherwise, doggie and battie would definitely fight again. Lily just would never stop hitting Vivian’s sore point.

Hao Ren let the data terminal continue to connect with the mainframe of the spaceship and uploaded all the data that could be backed up to the database of Petrachelys. He then made a more thorough exploration of this spaceship.

Of course, because of the size of the golden battleship and the complexity of the internal structure, it would take a long time for them to walk around the ship on feet. So after completing the inspection of the core compartment, he handed over the following work to the probes and autonomous robots. As the smart robot assistants were examining the battleship, Hao Ren left the data terminal there, and they returned to Petrachelys.

“I’m going to take this spaceship back and do further research,” Hao Ren told Lemendusa, “and you and Heve are coming with me. Let’s go to Tannagost together.”

Lemendusa was extremely resistant to anything that rebels made, but if it was a trophy brought back from the battlefield, it was another matter. Seizing such a large command ship was a great honor to any warrior, so he readily agreed and said, “This is your trophy, and this glory belongs to you.”

Lemendusa was particularly serious in detail. He was like a traditional and stubborn warrior, so Hao Ren just accepted it. He called the data terminal on the golden battleship and asked, “How’s it going? Can you reboot the mainframe over there?”

The data terminal was still in the control hall, connecting itself with the mainframe of the golden battleship. Under its control, three large beams of light in the hall were refreshing a big amount of data at an alarming rate. However, it was not satisfied with the data and said, “The mainframe of this spaceship is too fragile and full of loopholes. Vivian caused a big impact on the main control system when she opened the door to the Surface World. I tried to restart it twice but didn’t succeed… I’m afraid the main control system has some physical damage.”

Hao Ren noticed that the glowing grid at the rear of the golden battleship flickered several times. The data terminal seemed to be attempting to restart the main engine. However, as the main control system was offline, the attempts were not successful.

Hao Ren had no other way. He turned to Nolan and asked, “Err… Can you be a tugboat?”

Nolan paused for a few seconds, and then looked at the golden ship of more than 10 times longer than her through the external monitor and said, “Are you kidding me? I don’t have this function!”

Hao Ren thought about it and agreed.
