Chapter 127: The Origin of Soul Beasts
……
Before several epochs as a unit, the Douluo Continent had never divided life by humans and soul beasts, and at that time, race was the camp division unit of all things.
The human race, compared to the ancient giants with terrifying strength, it is difficult for them to have a sense of existence on the Douluo Continent, and perhaps the only thing that can make them pay attention is the martial soul.
The martial soul of the human race is wonderful, where is the wonder? For example, if there is a person's martial soul that is a long sword, then the problem arises...... Is there a tool like a long sword first, or a martial spirit like a long sword?
The answer is that there is a martial soul first, and then there is a weapon.
It is said that natural selection, natural selection, but there seems to be a big hand behind the human race on the Douluo Continent that is constantly pushing them forward, fishing rods, fishing nets, hammers, sickles...... They don't need to explore step by step in a desperate situation, as long as a brand-new weapon martial soul appears, it means that the human race on the Douluo Continent has another tool to rely on.
Is this a good thing? Strictly speaking, it is precisely because of this inexplicable gift that all human beings have begun to blindly thank the gods in the dark, and thus have lost their pioneering and enterprising spirit.
In the era of several years, human beings are still in the era of cultivating animals, will the martial soul bring development or drag?
Ahem, back to business.
I just talked about the demise of the Ancient Soul Beast...... Is it? The origin of this matter has to start with the human race, and the first soul masters were a group of weapon martial soul soul masters, until one day...... A six-year-old child awakens a possessed martial spirit...... Golden-eyed ape.
The elders of the human race thought that this was a mutation, and the mutation of the martial soul appeared a lot in the early days, and they thought that this might be the most alienated kind of mutation.
But when all kinds of beast martial spirits sprung up in human beings, they realized that the heavens gave them a second major prophetic revelation. Because these beast martial souls all have a common characteristic...... They are all soul beasts that are not available on the Douluo Continent.
The prophecy was fulfilled, and all races except the Terrans were degraded as if cursed. The first group to degenerate was called the Mixed Ape, which degenerated into a variety of attribute apes, including the Golden-eyed Ape.
Some people will ask, is this evolution or degradation? Let's put it this way, a chaotic ape of the same age can hammer ten Titan giant apes of the same age, in fact, the Titan giant ape seems to be the result of the degradation of the chaotic ape.
But what about the golden-eyed ape? They don't have much to say about now other than good looks.
For example, the Thunder Winged Lion is born with its own thunder and lightning attributes, is it powerful enough? But its predecessor, the Ganzhi Tiger Clan, was an extraordinary existence of the wind, fire, thunder and lightning that moved at will.
The Terrans were also affected, and they received a third major revelation...... Soul Ring. Whenever a degraded soul beast is killed, a halo of a certain color will appear, and this aura can only be absorbed by the person killed by humans.
Since then, the path of martial soul cultivation has officially opened for mankind.
Under the dissipation of one another, it was already a matter of time before the Ancient Soul Beasts withdrew from the stage of the Douluo Continent, so the remaining clans made a decision after some deliberation.
One vein, go to the corner of the Douluo Continent to open up a domain, and survive for the continuation of the bloodline, this is the predecessor of the depths of the Extreme North Ice Field.
But this area only allows them to shorten the process of degradation, not avoid it entirely, such as the red bipedal crow that appeared just now, which was originally a three-legged race, even in ancient times it was now the race at the top of the pyramid.
The other vein decided to adapt to the time of the day and provide protection for the soul beasts called Xinxing, and they plunged headlong into the trend of the times, came to the south, and established the two major soul beast forests of Star Dou and Sunset respectively.
There have been some slight changes in this vein, so let's not talk about it here.
When a bold scholar explored this part of the epic, he asked what role did the gods who cooperated with heaven and earth to govern the laws play in this? They were so willing to give their authority to the soul beast?
They knew the answer, but none of them dared to confide in it.
Maybe they can't control the life of the soul beast, but it's not too easy to control the laws of the soul beast. Moreover, compared to a race like the Ancient Soul Beast, which turned the world upside down at every turn, they still preferred a race like humans that could not only provide them with the power of faith, but also be extremely obedient.
In this cross-generational change, the gods are not only the pushers, but also the black hands at the beginning.
……
"What are you looking at?"
The god Shura slowly walked to the side of the sea god and shared the scenery in front of him with him, a round of morning sun hanging in the sky, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the morning sun or dusk.
"A lot of things, there is a past, there is a future."
"Oh?"
The god Shura symbolically let out a soft cry and asked casually.
"What comes to mind?"
The sea god let out a sigh of relief, with boredom in his eyes, although his status in the god realm was not as good as that of Shura, he was definitely a quite extraordinary existence.
"I'm tired, Shura, maybe I'm tired of it when I start to reflect on the necessity of our existence, in the ten thousand years of time, we have done a lot right, but we have also done a lot wrong."
The Shura God's lips moved slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard the Sea God continue.
"You know what? I've been looking for a candidate among mortals for the past few years, and it's the only way I can think of to save the gods, to empower mortals and give them a real voice. ”
"Ignorance."
It seemed that he had a premonition of his friend's end, and the Shura God looked hot and cold.
"Are you foolish? Shura, you are smarter than me, and your horizons should be much broader, if the wheel of fortune continues to run like this, only death awaits us, and we need fresh blood, and this blood must be mortal. ”
They're old guys...... I've been in control of theocracy for too long.
"It's too late for the fool, what if he doesn't come to time, sacrifice the Godhead to gamble with you? But it was too late, he ...... The knife has already been lit. ”
Not only did the sea god not have the slightest seriousness when he heard this, but he couldn't help but laugh quietly.
"Isn't it funny? Obviously he has seen his fate as if he was on a felt board, waiting for death. ”
"It's funny."
The sea god touched the tears of laughter in his eyes, and finally gasped for breath.
"Don't you feel familiar with today's situation? Didn't we just wipe out the ancient soul beasts step by step like we do today? ”
"That's providence, providence to degrade them."
"But Providence never let us exterminate a race!!"
The face of the sea god and Hexi suddenly became extremely hideous.
Shura took a deep breath.
"So they're still breathing."
"Forget it."
The sea god's tone suddenly slumped, no longer optimistic just now, nor the anger he had before.
"Shura, this is fate, we misinterpret the will of heaven to get rid of the ancient soul beast clan, this is the heavens to collect debts from us."
How powerful was the Ancient Soul Beast back then?
Kill the gods.
And they ...... Forcibly cut off the path of the soul beast's advancement, according to the original setting of the Heavenly Dao, the darkness hoped that the ancient soul beast would degenerate one step and give the human race a chance to breathe.
And what the gods did was to impose their own laws on them, forcibly changing their path of cultivation, cultivating the law...... Only become a god.
Yet none of them, except for a single god, opened their arms to them.
