The Record of Unusual Creatures Chapter 1207 - The Blind Chaos

How was the G.o.d-slaying sword made? What kind of creature made it? How did that evil force use a sword to control a race and eventually achieve the incredible feat of killing a true G.o.d?

These were some of Hao Ren’s ultimate concerns for the moment.

And now he seemed to have reached the tip of the iceberg of these ultimate problems: a piece of raw material for casting the G.o.d-slaying sword levitated quietly before his eyes, which not only maintained the form before it turned into the blade, but the breath of the ancient evil spirit also lingered on it!

Raven 12345 moved her fingers gently in the air, and the black ‘cosmic fragment’ levitated in front of her, spinning slowly under the pull of invisible magic. The stars on the fragment were twinkling in the black background as if a real cosmic sky was hiding in it.

Hao Ren had taken out the G.o.d-slaying sword from his dimensional pocket. This long dark sword was also levitated in the air, with the same starry sky floating on the surface of the blade.

“There’s almost no difference between the two materials from the outside,” Hao Ren said, touching his chin. “How can you tell that this piece is semi-finished?”

“Because it’s not stable enough,” Raven 12345 said, leaning back and pointing at the cosmic fragment. “They’re pieces of the universe, but the structure of the G.o.d-slaying sword has solidified. It doesn’t decay, and it doesn’t disintegrate, but this piece… You can’t see it, but I can see that it’s evaporating, that it’s losing information at a constant rate, and the structure of the galaxy inside it is falling into chaos, which means it’s not a finished product. If it is not raw material that has not been processed, it is a defective product that failed in the process of creating the G.o.d-slaying sword.”

The G.o.d-slaying sword circled in the air. It looked curiously at the fragment floating beside it and greeted it warmly. “Yo, boy, you’re levitating here too. I’m the G.o.d-slaying sword…”

“And the fragment doesn’t have the ability of the ‘Echo Wall’, Hao Ren said, nodding. “That means it can’t think or respond to external stimuli. By comparison, the G.o.d-slaying sword is much more advanced.”

At this time, the sword also found that the fragment did not respond to its greeting. Its shook his body regretfully and said, “Tut, it’s deaf and blind. Poor little thing.”

Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren and asked, “Is this sword talking more and more after being with you?”

“Ahem…”

Vivian frowned, her eyes wandering between the sword and the cosmic fragment and said, “But the residual negative force on this ‘semi-finished product’ is purer than the sword. Why?”

“Because the G.o.d-slaying sword is a weapon that needs to be given to the mortal race. It had to deceive its first sword bearers and subtly seduce those G.o.d slayers into depravity, so it has to disguise itself as an ordinary weapon, and the evil forces must be concealed. But this fragment is different. It was mostly an ‘experimental product’ before the G.o.d-slaying sword was created. So whatever remains on it is normal,” explained Raven 12345.

“Can you a.n.a.lyze anything through the residual breath?” Vivian asked curiously.

As soon as the question was thrown out, Hao Ren’s breathing suddenly became heavy. He sensed that a great secret was about to be revealed.

“Something infinitely close to the true G.o.d,” Raven 12345 nodded and said. She could see the opponent’s real ident.i.ty from the trace of breath left on the fragment. “It’s true that such powerful ‘creatures’ are occasionally born in the primordial universe. Sometimes they can hardly even be called ‘creatures’. Because this chaotic existence seriously lacked logic, they did not even have a biological instinct. Many times they just blindly “existed” to disturb the order of the whole universe, without any purpose. This powerful and ancient thing was often a by-product of the early evolution of the universe. Because the void is endless, there will naturally be countless worlds in which life and death will rise and fall. Anything can happen on an infinite basis. Therefore, it is not impossible for a chaotic intelligence to emerge from the primitive matter of the early universe. The forces of such things are usually extremely powerful, and because they are the condensation of the power of the origin of the universe, they can even be seen as manifestations of the will of the larger universe. But they are still not true G.o.ds, because they cannot draw strength from the void outside the universe, nor can they obtain the vital ‘symbolic authority’. After jumping out of the universe, they are nothing.

Hao Ren did not get it at first, but he soon understood this abstract thing and immediately thought of the G.o.ddess of creation. “For a G.o.d who does not know the power of the universe, this is an extremely formidable opponent.”

“Yes, a formidable opponent, but one thing I don’t quite understand…” Raven 12345 nodded, but there was a puzzled look on her face, which was not easily shown on her face. “If it was really the kind of primordial chaos I’ve guessed, it wouldn’t have made this sword.”

“Why?” asked Hao Ren.

“Because they are unable to perceive and understand the physical world of reality,” said Raven 12345. Her eyes sparkled with stars. She was thinking seriously. “As I said, they just exist blindly. Stupid, confused, blind, and noisy. They were born in the torrent of information at the beginning of the birth of the universe and were soon bound by the chilled and stable structure of s.p.a.ce and time after the universe stabilized. These blind and foolish things will struggle instinctively in this situation, trying to bring the s.p.a.ce and time that have fallen into order around them back into the chaos of the absolute beginning. However, limited by their own form of existence, their influence on the real material world will always be limited as well. They can disturb the order of the world, but they cannot change the fact that s.p.a.ce and time are becoming more and more stable. Until the end of billions of years, when entropy reaches a critical point and the world returns to chaos, they can get what they want. In the process, they are always blind.

Hao felt that the topic was becoming more and more difficult, but he managed to keep up with Raven 12345 and speculated what kind of existence that ‘primordial chaos’ should be. He had had a discussion with the G.o.ddess on the subject last time and had a.s.sumed the form of the creature behind it. They a.s.sumed that it was some kind of powerful soul or spirit, but apparently, the ‘chaos in the absolute beginning’ was much stronger than any form of spirit, so Hao Ren had to raise his guard against the creature behind the scenes.

Oddly, though, he did not feel nervous at all. Even though the enemy was getting weirder and stronger, still he did not have any fear of his future burden, as if it were his inherent mission.

“Because it was born in the chaos of the beginning of the universe, it could neither understand nor adapt to the low-energy matter and s.p.a.ce-time. The stable and comfortable material world for most ordinary people was just a prison with spa.r.s.e energy, empty and bitter chill for this primitive ‘creature’. They were supposed to die quickly in the first few flashes of the universe, but they didn’t, so they became a disaster.” Raven 12345 shook her head slightly and continued, “In fact, I haven’t even seen such things personally, because they are so rare, and those that can evolve into natural disasters are even rarer. And in most cases, these things don’t have time to do any damage, because the G.o.d’s army will quickly clear up will quickly clear up these hidden dangers, or transform them, or destroy them.”

And now Hao Ren finally understood why Raven 12345 said that it was impossible for it to make this sword.

Because a ‘son of chaos’ born out of chaos and illogic that was a misfit in the material universe would not forge a sword. It may not even have any stratagem or plan at all.

The power on the fragment came from the chaos of the absolute beginning, but the one who made the sword was definitely not the son of chaos.

“Is there a third-party force?” Hao Ren frowned. “Not just third party… More than that I guess…”

“It’s all speculation at the moment,” Raven 12345 interrupted Hao Ren. “Don’t draw any conclusions without solid evidence.”

Hao Ren nodded and said, “Well, I know. Another thing, this scepter dispels the innate antagonism between the demon hunter and Hagrids. What do you think about that?”

Raven 12345 threw the fragment to Hao Ren and said, “It’s mostly not related to this ‘cosmic fragment’, but should be the power of the scepter crystal. Before falling asleep, Vivian will reach the peak of strength. She will be infinitely close to her original form, that is, the divine blood. In this case, the scepter made by Vivian is likely to be injected with this power, the secondary power of the G.o.ddess of creation. It is this power that can seal off the evil energy in the fragment, and it is this power that can counteract the effect of innate hostility. It’s a pity that the crystal has completely dried up and there’s no evidence left, otherwise I can verify my guess.”

Hao Ren hurriedly caught the fragment. Catching such a deadly thing made him break out in a cold sweat, but he did not feel any discomfort when he touched it. He looked down in surprise and saw the fragment lying peacefully in his hand.

“It has been purified,” said Raven 12345 with a sly smile. “You can keep it. It’s useless to me anyway.”

Hao Ren thought carefully and asked, “Not going to bite it this time?”

Raven 12345 waved her hand and said, “Nah, it’s too small.”

The G.o.d-slaying sword was floating beside them. The bite mark left by the G.o.ddess was still on the sword. It was quite confused and asked, “Bite what?”

This poor fellow did not even know that a piece of his head had been chewed off…
