Chapter 9: Five Years Ago
"So, what are you going to do? Let the beasts and humans coexist peacefully? Bai Ye asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Of course not." Nat Pato shook his head, "I am indeed the leader of this race, but I cannot disobey the will of this group itself. ā
"What do you mean?" Bai Ye frowned.
This means that beasts and humans cannot coexist, and I cannot disobey this iron law. As the Beast Emperor, I represent the entire race, not the will of me alone. ā
Nat Pato continued: "As far as I am concerned, I don't want my species to be hostile to humans. But as a Beast Emperor, I am well aware of the innate mission of the Race, which is to exterminate the human race. It's something that's been written into the beast's genes, and I can't change it. ā
"Contradictory." Bai Ye said.
Nat Pato nodded: "That's right, contradictory. So, I've been here all these years, not an inch away. There was neither a courtship to humanity nor a declaration of war on humanity. ā
White Night took a step forward.
"Perhaps, this is an opportunity. As the Beast Emperor, you can restrain the will of millions of desolate beasts, and if you want to, you can make these desolate beasts no longer be enemies of humans. ā
Nat Pato glanced at Bai Ye and shook his head: "Impossible. ā
"Why?" Bai Ye asked.
"I am the beast emperor of the beasts, not the slaves of men. I am an emperor and have my own dignity. ā
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.
Every Beastmaster he saw claimed to be the master of one side, extremely arrogant, not to mention a Beast Emperor who was much more powerful than the Beastmaster?
The Beast Emperor is the absolute emperor, and if they are allowed to use their ability to restrain the desolate beasts from attacking humans, it is equivalent to letting them directly stand on the side of the human race, standing on the opposite side of the desolate beasts.
This is absolutely impossible.
Natpato looked at White Night, "If I were just an ordinary beast, then I would probably be on the side of humans quite simply. But I am the Beast Emperor, the only leader who has evolved among the billions of desolate beasts, so I can only represent the will of the desolate beasts. ā
"I can save you at will, it's just a personal choice on a whim. But when it comes to the entire human race, I can only be your enemy. ā
White Night continued to be silent.
"I can see that your current strength is terrifying. Although I don't know what happened to you in the past five years, I know that you should be able to kill me now. ā
"So, if you're going to kill me, do it, and I'll use all my strength to fight you. But, if you want me to surrender to humanity, that's impossible. ā
Bai Ye was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Maybe you can get out of here." ā
Nat Pato shook his head: "You still don't understand? White Nights. As the Beast Emperor, I must die for the Race, this is my mission. ā
Bai Ye shook his head: "I don't understand. These beasts are nothing more than bloodthirsty and irrational beasts, you are completely different from them, why should you die for them? ā
"Because of the race!"
Nat Pato suddenly became serious: "White Night, maybe you don't understand it now, but one day you will understand what I mean." ā
"No matter how powerful you become, no matter how far you have evolved, you will always have an inseparable blood connection with your own race!"
"You humans have a saying called blood bonding. It's not exact, but the meaning is similar. ā
"When you're in that position, you have to stand up and not back down. Otherwise, there is no point in your existence! ā
You can think of it as a responsibility, or a mission! I, as a high-level beast emperor, must accept all challenges from humans until I die in battle! ā
White Night was silent.
He thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.
"You saved my life five years ago, so I'm not going to do anything to you." White Night looked at Nat Pato, "I respect you, so, I'll give you a chance to fight fairly." ā
Natpato looked at the white night, speculating on what he meant.
"Humanity sent the strongest Awoken besides you, right?" Knight Pato asked.
Bai Ye nodded: "I think, the chairman and you should have the same mentality, and he will not be able to back down." Therefore, I do not intend to stop this war, because this war is about the dignity of both races. ā
"The strongest of humans and beasts will decide the winner."
White Night looked into Natpato's eyes.
"I can't ask for it." In Natpato's eyes, he also instantly released a monstrous battle intent.
After a moment, Nat Pato smiled.
He patted Bai Ye's shoulder gently: "No matter what, tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow." At least today, we're still friends, right? ā
ā¦ā¦
Late at night.
White Night left the palace of Natpato, and no beast found him.
Bai Ye's thoughts instantly returned to five years ago.
In the underground blocks of Lujiang City, there are many helpless street children, and 14-year-old Bai Ye is one of them.
Some mercenary groups often train these homeless children, give them food, and then let them fight to the death.
Generally speaking, human awakening is around the age of seven to thirteen, and once you have not first awakened beyond the age of thirteen, then the possibility of becoming an awakened person will be very low.
For these mercenary groups, they rescue these street children just to find some treasures among them. If an ordinary wanderer becomes an Awakened, they will be absorbed into the mercenary group.
However, if the street children have not awakened by the age of fourteen, these street children have become a burden to the mercenaries.
Mercenary groups don't need ordinary people.
Therefore, the mercenary group will drive these homeless children away, and the fourteen-year-old Bai Ye was driven out by the mercenary group in this way.
Two days later, a super-large-scale beast tide happened to break out in Lujiang City, countless desolate beasts impacted the particle barrier, and half of the small city area almost fell.
Fourteen-year-old White Night would have died in that beast tide, or...... Died of starvation.
But as it happened, he was saved by Natpato.
The beast tide wasn't started by Natpato, he just happened to pass by.
At that time, Natpato still had some characteristics of a desolate beast on his body, so Bai Ye knew at that time that it was a desolate beast that saved him.
Nat Pato himself couldn't tell what kind of mentality he was trying to save the white night. He'd seen too much death, but for some reason, he shot that time.
Fourteen-year-old White Night knew that although Natpato was a desolate beast, he could keep him alive.
So, White Night followed Nat Pato into the wilderness area.
A week later, the white night awakened.
A month later, the white night awakened for the second time.
Nat Pato was also a little surprised, but didn't think too much about it. After White Night's combat strength was enough to protect himself, Natpato did not say goodbye.
Two months later, White Night was already able to hunt lord-level desolate beasts on his own.
Then, he decided to stay away from the city of Lujiang and began to wander aimlessly to the north.
In the past three years, he has traveled to countless places, killed countless desolate beasts, and finally, came to the outskirts of Hanhai City.
Bai Ye felt a little tired, because the beast could never be killed.
Moreover, he had been expecting to encounter another beast like Natpatto, but all of them failed.
So, he decided to settle down in the ruins of the satellite cities around Hanhai City and live the life of an ordinary person.
It wasn't until later that it stumbled into the center of the world again.
