Chapter 892: War, Eternal War
As soon as these words came out, the shouting and scolding around them were endless, and there were even excited Chaos believers who wanted to rush up and reason with Chu Zhengqing.
Li Yao and the other guards hurriedly stopped the fanatical crowd.
Li Yao more or less understood why Yu Chiba wanted to let his new blood protect Chu Zhengqing.
It's hard to resist the urge to put your fist in his mouth if he is afraid that he will be replaced by a chaotic fanatic to be his guard.
"Master Chu!"
Yu Chiba said coldly, "Let's focus on the problem at hand, even if these corpses really belong to the Chaos Cultists forty thousand years ago, what do you think about the cause of their death?" β
Chu Zhengqing said: "For some reason, it caused a frenzy and cannibalism, I know that many kinds of Gu poison, miasma and even magic sounds can do this." β
"It's just that I don't know if it's the Gu poison and miasma released from the outside world, or whether it's produced from the depths of the Chaos God Tomb."
At this time, a researcher in a white robe said a few words in Yu Chiba's ear, and Yu Chiba nodded again and again, and said with a sigh of relief: "We have not detected any Gu poison and miasma in the air, soil, and these corpses. β
"It's just not detected yet."
Chu Zhengqing smiled and said, "Lord Yuchi, it seems that our initial conjecture is correct, judging from the scale of the first layer of the Chaos God Tomb, its structure is so grand that it is difficult for us to imagine. β
"Judging from the dual records of official and wild histories, it seems that Chaos has never held the supreme power of the Three Thousand Worlds, so it is impossible to establish such an underground base purely for the purpose of sacrifice or boasting."
In other words, it is highly likely to have military and experimental uses. It's a chaotic research center, or secret base. β
"Now, our question is, what exactly is Chaos, and who are his enemies? What kind of weapons, weapons, or soldiers is he developing here to deal with these enemies? β
"Oh. Perhaps you Chaos Blades are only interested in this last question? β
"Before I go any further, though, I'd like to warn you again."
"Whether you Chaos Blade or Youquan Ancestor, you have tried in every possible way to crack the secret of Chaos, but you have also seen that even if you are close to this secret, such a tragic killing has occurred."
"You're really ready. Cracked that answer? Even if that answer is not what you really want, or even diametrically opposed to your view? β
Yu Chiba took a deep breath and said categorically: "Yes, we are ready, next, please go deep into the second layer." β
While they study the Throne of Bones and the cannibalistic corpses. Ancient architects and formation scholars have already preliminarily probed the structure of the second floor through the ventilation ducts. With the activation of the magic circles one after another, the center of the temple trembled slightly, and from the depths of the earth came the sound of mysterious and complex gears running.
Immediately after, huge cylindrical black stones rose from the ground.
This is the platform that leads to the second floor of the Chaos Tomb.
From the general structure, the Chaos God Tomb is divided into three to four sections. The second floor is much larger than the temple, but the terrain inside is extremely complex and divided into different spaces.
"Master!"
When the ancient building and array mage were debugging the lifting platform, Li Yao couldn't help but ask Chu Zhengqing, "You said that 'Chaos' may be a human race?" So what's going on? β
Chu Zhengqing and his daughter Chu Feiyin glanced at him a few times in surprise. Seeing that his face did not have the obsession and fanaticism of ordinary Chaos believers, Chu Zhengqing thought for a while and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard of the human race's statement about the birth of our demon race?" β
Li Yao blinked his eyes, not knowing whether to say that he had heard it or not.
Chu Zhengqing regarded his hesitation as confusion, and said quickly: "In the legend of the human race, 40,000 years ago, it was a cultivator who invented a genetic potion called 'Demon God', and used this elixir to accelerate the evolution of the spirit beast and mutate into a powerful demon beast. β
"However, in the process of modulating demon beasts, evolution has gotten out of control, and many demon beasts have completed the evolutionary path that the human race took millions of years to complete in just a few decades or a hundred years, and have evolved a wisdom comparable to that of the human race."
"That's our demon clan."
Li Yao swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "Really? β
"Of course not, or rather, not entirely."
Chu Zhengqing said, "Today, 40,000 years later, we have such a deep understanding of biochemical technology and genetic theory, and we can even concoct a biochemical brain with super computing power, but we still can't give the demon beast real wisdom, how could the ancients 40,000 years ago do this in just a hundred years?" β
"But there is a lot of merit in the statement of the human race, perhaps, the fusion of the two aspects of the human race and the demon race is the real history."
"Fusion?"
Li Yao's mind raced, and his breathing accelerated.
"That's right."
Chu Zhengqing said, "Maybe 40,000 years ago, there was really such a human being who developed a powerful biochemical agent that could cause spirit beasts to mutate to a certain extent. β
"However, this elixir is not enough for the mutated demon beasts to produce intelligence comparable to that of humans, and it is difficult to play a decisive role in the victory or defeat of the war."
"Think about it, how difficult it is to make a demon beast have intelligence comparable to that of a human!"
"However, it is much easier to think differently."
"If you can't let the demon beast have the wisdom of a human being, then let a human have the body of a demon beast, so what?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Chu Zhengqing continued: "Don't you know that human beings, especially among human beings, those ambitious and crazy cultivators, if there is an elixir that can increase the combat power of a spirit beast by ten times and become a powerful demon beast, then among the ten thousand cultivators, at least one will be unable to help but inject themselves." β
"That isβ"
Chu Feiyin continued with her father's words, she was young and vigorous, and she seemed to be particularly fond of seeing a Chaos believer's face with a shocked expression, "The Demon Clan, most likely the descendants of the Human Race, is just another human being who has been injected with the Demon God Virus, cracked some of the genetic chains, and activated the Flood Form. β
Li Yao hesitated for half a second, not knowing if he should really be "shocked".
However, his "dumbfounded" appearance can be regarded as very shocked.
It took him a full three seconds before he closed his mouth and stammered, "You guys, how do you know?" β
Chu Feiyin said: "We don't know, everything is just a hypothesis, doing research is like this, discovering a wonderful phenomenon, and then throwing out a hypothesis to explain, until new evidence is found, completely confirmed or overturned." β
"There is no reproductive isolation between different demon races, even between demon races and human races, and they can give birth to offspring."
"The elite master of the Chaos Blade can freely switch between two or even several different forms."
"The newborn demon clan, no matter which clan, whether it is silver blood or black blood, is very similar to human babies, and as it matures, it will show more characteristics of the demon race."
"All of this supports our 'shemale homology' hypothesis."
"However, we still lack conclusive evidence, so we accepted the employment of the Ancestor of the Hidden Spring and the Blade of Chaos, and finally came here to find answers and figure out the ...... Who we really are. β
At this time, the lifting platform leading to the lower level was activated, and bundles of light blue lines appeared on all sides of the black column, slowly splitting and winding, forming a flower-like rune array.
"Master Chu!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth and said, "You used to work for Youquan Ancestor, you must have seen Youquan Ancestor?" β
Chu Zhengqing looked at Li Yao with some suspicion.
Li Yao said: "Have you ever told the Youquan Ancestor about your theory?" Does he believe in Master Chu? β
Chu Zhengqing nodded and said, "Youquan Ancestor may not be a good man or a woman, but he does have an excellent mind and is also a true expert in chaos science. β
"In fact, I often discuss with Youquan Ancestor, and even the 'shemale homology' hypothesis was founded and perfected by him and me."
"If it weren't for the Youquan Ancestor providing a lot of funds and resources, sparing no effort to support our research and explore the progress of the Chaos God Tomb, it would not have been so fast."
"The shemale homology hypothesis was founded with the participation of the Youquan Ancestor?"
Li Yao was completely stunned: "I don't understand, if what you say is true, the demon race is really another form of human race, then what is the point of our war with the Tianyuan Realm?" β
Chu Zhengqing's gaze suddenly became sharp.
Li Yao blinked, bowed his head and said, "I heard that because of this war, many people have died, countless people have been displaced, and even my sister and I have become slaves because of this damn war; I also heard that the Tian Yuan Realm is very large, and the strength of the Tian Yuan Human Race is also very strong, even if the entire Blood Demon Realm is squeezed dry, it is impossible to completely occupy the Tian Yuan Realm. β
"In the past, I thought that the human race and the demon race were incompatible, and even if the last drop of blood was shed, there would only be no death."
"However, if even a big man of the level of Youquan Ancestor partially agrees with the 'shemale homology' hypothesis, then what reason do the two sides have to destroy each other?"
Chu Zhengqing smiled, all the wrinkles were piled together, like an old tree that had grown for tens of thousands of years.
He patted Li Yao lightly on the shoulder and said, "Your name is Blood Claw, right?" β
"Bloodclaw, you are too young, maybe in your opinion, there must be a reason for war, we are a demon race, they are a human race, so we have to fight."
"No, it's not."
"In the Gu Xiu era 40,000 years ago, there was no demon race, and the human race still fought each other for tens of thousands of years, and finally launched the ultimate war that almost destroyed the three thousand worlds."
"Similarly, in the 30,000-year era of the Demon Beast Empire, humanity declined, and the demon clan prospered, but the demon clan still fought each other, and the demon clan that died in the civil war of dynasty change was much more than the demon clan that died under the sword of the human race."
"This is war."
The old man said lightly, "No need for a reason, eternal war." (To be continued.) )
