The Ultimate Absolution

It had not been too long ago that a cloud of doubt began to hang over Hao Ren's head.

What was the real purpose of the deicidal incident?

From the beginning, the know sinners involved in the deicide were the treacherous children, and the whole event could be simply interpreted as a mortal race trying to become God by assassinating their goddess. But when there was another mastermind behind the deicidal incident, this explanation became a bit untenable: this mastermind obviously had more power and a longer history. Even if it was not a god, it should be almost the same type of existence. This powerful existence obviously had a profound understanding of the goddess. So it was unlikely that this mastermind would want to wrest power by killing the goddess. It was meaningless to do so. Then why did this mastermind incite the treacherous children to kill the goddess of creation?
