The Creation Goddess's offhand revelation threw Hao Ren's thoughts into disarray. His theories about the Dark Domain and La Rian nearly had to be overturned and rebuilt from scratch, so he immediately asked her to explain in detail what had happened after the explosion of the divine kingdom.
He soon learned many secrets about what had happened after the "God-slaying War" ten thousand years ago.
Just as the information he had gathered earlier suggested, the God-slaying War itself had actually been a "planned war" orchestrated behind the scenes by the Creation Goddess. The entire process, from the god-slaying to the explosion of the divine kingdom, had been foreseeable. After the God Slayer destroyed the Goddess's body with the sword, the endless energy contained within the Founding Star erupted, engulfing the entire divine kingdom and vast stretches of the surrounding universe in a massive explosion. It tore the entire region of space away and hurled it toward the edge of the world.
But what happened afterward had been beyond the Creation Goddess's expectations.
The divine kingdom had broken through the world barrier, yet instead of falling into the void, it had plunged into a dim, dying new spacetime. This new spacetime was exceptionally small and filled with chaotic, decaying energy, resembling a doomsday world on the verge of reaching the limit of entropy. In this already dying mini-universe, a few scattered celestial bodies floated, and Planet La Rian was one of them.
At the time, La Rian was still intact and orbited a dim remnant of a star. Its orbit seemed to have been deliberately adjusted so that it could draw enough energy from the stellar remnant to sustain its ecosystem. Because of this, when the Creation Goddess and the shattered divine kingdom arrived together, La Rian not only had a
