Seeing those runes, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Hao Ren's mind. Many clues that had originally been scattered or lacked credibility suddenly became clear and orderly, backed by solid facts. The Ancient Magic Empire of Horleta and the rebellion of the God-slaying race at Sulun's Gate were connected across hundreds of millions of light-years, and two civilizations with vastly different levels of power had been drawn into the same vortex by these runes.
"The Magic Emperors of Horleta received the knowledge inheritance of the God Slayers." At this moment, those words were no longer baseless speculation, but a fact backed by evidence—and that evidence was carved into the wall.
"...This is the Runes technology of the 'Bastard'." The Data Terminal immediately found the records in its database. "Although the material of this ruin cannot compare with the God-slaying race's interstellar alloy, the power of these runes is genuine—they blocked the energy explosion that occurred here, which is why the outer hall remained so intact."
"Does this count as evidence of a crime...?" Vivian murmured. "Now the Magic Emperors really can't shake their connection to the God-slaying incident."
"There were clues long ago—the ancient Magic Emperors obtained the technology to create 'demigod creatures' from the God-slaying Bastard. In exchange, they remained silent when the Goddess was assassinated. They used this technology to create powerful Demon Hunters, but before they had time to apply it to themselves, the enraged eldest son wiped them off this planet." Hao Ren shook his head as he spoke. "We've only found concrete evidence now."
Lily blinked, looking at Hao Ren and then at the runes on the wall. Her ears twitched. "But I still feel like something's wrong."
"What did you think of this time?" Vivian immediately turned to look at her. Husky
