Chapter Forty-Eight: Abandoned by the World
Yao couldn't see it inexplicably, and for some reason, she shook her little head, obviously a little dizzy.
Huang Quan's face was very strange, one of those alien races that came out of the ground was clearly a human being.
It's no secret that the Empire has been working on the Star Destroyer Cannon. It's just that before Huang Quan left, the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon was still on the planet of destruction, and detonating the star was still an unattainable goal.
However, according to the speed of research in the empire at that time, it seems that it will not be far away.
In the process of the expansion of the empire and the pacification of the interior, the planets where the opponent lives are destroyed more than once, especially when the empire breaks through the technology to change the ecological structure of the planet and even the orbit, the direct destruction of the planet has become more and more options included in the strategic plan.
Destroy your opponent's planet and you can easily take out all your enemies, saving you time and effort. When the time comes, the nearby planets will change their orbits, move them to orbits suitable for survival, and then transform the ecological environment, and it will be a good colonial star.
In the evaluation system, occupying planets whose value does not reach the standard line basically cannot escape such a fate.
Everything the Empire does seems to be no different from the evil races that emerge from the ground in the mural.
Since then, the victorious giant has returned, and he has created many races, descending from the sky to planets and sweeping the underground.
The descending races emerge victorious on planet by planet, and then pile up the corpses of the underground races for sacrifice. Above the corpses of the underground race, the figure of the defeated giant appeared.
The defeated giants have transformed their bodies into thousands of races and emerged from the ground in an attempt to destroy the universe in another way. The Advent Race, on the other hand, is the embodiment of the victorious giants, who maintain the existence and balance of the universe itself.
The war between the Advent and the Underground, is actually a continuation of the first mural Wars.
From these murals, the ogre is one of the descending races, so in their eyes, humans are the embodiment of true evil. In epic battles, the ogres paid a terrible sacrifice and gradually gained the upper hand and defeated the humans.
After seeing these murals, Huang Quan really didn't know what it was like. Even the ogre, which is obviously a savage, bloodthirsty race, sees humanity as the embodiment of destruction and evil, and there is really no reason for this world.
But standing in front of these murals whose vision is beyond the Empire's star field, standing in the ultra-long dimension of the origin of the divine war, Huang Quan suddenly found that from another standpoint, there is nothing wrong with the Empire acting as if it were a destroyer.
As the empire grew stronger and stronger, the use of the Holy Radiance gradually expanded, and many star fields ushered in their own ends.
The steel torrent of the empire swept through one star field after another, and planets turned into the brightest sparks in the starry sky, and then fell silent and became cosmic dust.
Huang Quan never felt that there was anything wrong with this, he always believed that the most direct and effective means of striking at the enemy should be used, and that integration and assimilation were always, and only by destroying all enemies from the physical level was the real way to achieve peace.
Only by seeking peace through war can we achieve true peace.
To be tolerant of the enemy is to be cruel to one's own people. Huang Quan would rather kill a thousand enemy civilians by mistake than have one of his soldiers die because of this.
Now, for the first time, he is looking at what he has done in the past from a different perspective. It was also the first time in his life that Huang Quan stood in the position of the weak and experienced the difficulty of struggling to survive under the pursuit of man-eaters.
What is good and what is bad, what is good and what is evil, these very clear concepts in the past, or beliefs, are shaken for the first time at this moment.
"Cannibal things, can you believe them?" A voice in Huang Quan's heart said.
But Huang Quan's instinctive feeling that what is depicted in these murals is real. The living murals are epics, condensing the memories and emotions of the painters.
At least from a neutral point of view, the destruction of the astral bodies and the genocide of human beings is not just, and it is by no means a good thing for the entire universe.
Huang Quan turned and walked to the first mural and watched the battle between the two giants.
The two giants, whose bodies are larger than stars, are very close to ogres in terms of size, face, and even the style of using weapons. Of course, if he hadn't seen the Great Chief of the Cannibals on this planet, Huang Quan might have thought that they were similar to humans.
But this is also normal, all the gods in human history have similar looks like humans. The gods born from each race civilization will be what their own race looks like, at most, they will add something and change something.
So what Huang Quan is thinking about at the moment is what the meaning of these two gods represents.
If one of them represents the Holy Radiance, and the other represents the vastness of opposing forces, it makes sense, and it can also explain the many strangeness and irrationalities of this world.
However, Huang Quan was not happy at all, could it be that Shenghui was the god who was defeated?
If that's the case, then he's in big trouble in this world. No, not only this world, but perhaps all the star fields in the entire universe are in trouble.
Shenghui has already merged with Huangquan, and there is no separation from each other, if all the bodies in Huangquan's body that have been transformed by Shenghui are removed, then Huangquan will not be able to survive. Even if he survives, how can he adapt to that kind of life without strength?
If he had to live an ordinary life, Huang Quan would rather commit suicide.
It wasn't until the night was thick that the hunters who had gone to hunt down the escaped ogres returned one after another. The heads of four ogres hung from the waist of the arrow, and the other hunters had more or less gains.
It's just that most of these heads are old people and women, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. As for the young beasts of the man-eaters, the hunters have their own pride, kill them, but do not show them off.
Huang Quan was in a heavy mood, but the people in the settlement were extremely excited.
The Elder has arrived, leading his clan, and placed the Life Stone in the center of the camp, creating an area suitable for the Lost to live. People lit bonfires, sang and danced around the fire, and drank bitterly.
The food stored by the ogres can basically be eaten by the Lost People. Although they feed on humans, the number of Lost People is scarce and difficult for hunters on the road to catch, so the variety of grains and animal meat is the real big part of the cannibal's recipes.
The ogres also drink alcohol, and the truly good wine they brew is difficult for the Lost People to swallow, because the wine contains the power of opposition to the Holy Radiance.
And the bad wine in the eyes of the cannibals, which is only worthy of those inferior people who have no reason, tastes good.
There were hundreds of jars of wine in the tribe, enough for everyone in the settlement to drink for several days.
The Great Elder strictly ordered not to drink too much, but he was open to samurai and top hunters. Their ability to recover is not comparable to that of ordinary people, even if they are drunk, they can move as usual the next morning.
The Great Elder also knew very well that the next battle would be even harder, and tonight's revelry would probably be the last. Therefore, he does not limit the main combat power in the settlement, and let them indulge for a while.
Huang Quan did not participate in the revelry, he wandered around the main house, looking at the murals, and sometimes stopped in front of the altar. At his request, this altar was preserved.
No one entered the central house, and after moving out of the storehouse for food and supplies, it was tacitly accepted as the exclusive territory of Yellow Springs. Only such privileges can show the respect that the lost people have for him.
Huang Quan didn't care about the respect of others, nor did he care whether his actions violated justice. He had only one creed in the past, and that was to win, and as long as he could defeat his opponent, any means should be used.
But now, he was deeply doubting himself.
This is not a vacillation of faith, but a doubt about the meaning of one's existence.
Huang Quan had long known that he had become one with Shenghui and could no longer be separated.
During the Empire, the bearer of the Divine Radiance was a symbol of glory. But now, 10,000 years later, he found out that Shenghui was the loser in the divine war, and Huang Quan, as the inheritor of Shenghui's power, also had to bear the bitter consequences.
He had no choice.
Huang Quan has never been afraid of powerful enemies, even if he faces the whole world alone, he will swim against the current. But what shook him now was, was the existence of Shenghui itself a mistake?
If the Divine Radiance was abandoned by this universe, then the human beings who were born with the Divine Radiance as the foundation have also been abandoned by the entire universe?
