"Suzaku once told me."

"For the celestials, you are the only one in the martial arts association who knows best."

"Can you tell me?"

"What are the celestials, and why do they hate humans and have to kill them all."

"and. Is there a way to kill all these debris? ”

Then.

Chen Sheng's voice sounded.

Bring Li Wuji back and forth from his trance.

Now he has been noticed by the heavens.

Even if you want to, you can't hide.

It's better to get to know your enemies well and improve your strength as much as possible.

Then crush the enemy into slag.

"Okay."

Li Wuji did not refuse.

He bowed his head and groaned, as if organizing the language.

Chen Sheng didn't urge.

Just silently waiting for his answer.

Long.

Li Wuji made a move.

He sat down in front of Chen Sheng.

The old man slowly stretched out his arm.

"I believe you also learned from Suzaku that the Celestial Man was originally a type of human being, right?"

Chen Sheng nodded.

He still knows that.

"The affairs of heaven and man should also start from the period when human beings are still in the period of ignorance."

Li Wuji's arm swiped quickly, connecting the shadows on the blackboard.

"We humans evolved step by step from apes, you should know that."

Evolutionism.

As a modern human, he certainly knows this theory.

Chen Sheng did not speak.

Just silently waiting for the other party's next step.

"Then you should also know that evolution is not a fixed path."

"Just like tigers and cats, they share a common ancestor, but at a certain point, either because of the environment or because of other interference, they have embarked on different evolutionary paths."

"As a result, there is a huge difference."

"This is the case with Celestial Man and Homo sapiens."

"We, who come from the same ancestor, have gone to different branches on the path of evolution."

"The evolution rate of celestial beings is much faster than that of us Homo sapiens."

"They have stronger bones and muscles, and they are larger than Homo sapiens in ancient times."

"At that time, there wasn't even a concept of a tribe."

"Whether it is celestial or homo sapiens, they are scattered in all corners of the world in the form of races."

"Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, this is the unchanging norm since ancient times."

"In order to survive, it is inevitable to fight."

"But for a long time, in the war for territory and food, the celestial and human beings were in an absolute advantage."

"One celestial man can even deal with five or six Homo sapiens at the same time."

"So, the abilities of the celestials have evolved?"

Chen Sheng asked.

He raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

Judging by the sleeping celestials I saw before.

Celestial beings are not much different from humans in appearance.

It's just that he's more handsome and tall than ordinary people.

The theory that Li Wuji said can be matched.

But

Chen Sheng's understanding of evolution should be that organisms gradually adapt to the environment and evolve in a direction that is more conducive to survival.

What is the matter with the immortality of heaven and man?

What about that perverted power and ability?

It's like playing a role-playing game together.

Other players are honestly fighting monsters and upgrading their skills.

Just you gods, just open the modifier, right?

The amount of blood is unlimited, one knife ninety-nine-nine, right?

"Definitely."

For Chen Sheng's doubts.

Li Wuji was not surprised.

Once, when he learned about this history, he also had this confusion.

"In the early stages of the development of the race, although the celestial beings relied on their strong physiques to once be higher than Homo sapiens in the food chain."

"But their ability to reproduce is far inferior to that of Homo sapiens, and it is difficult to exterminate Homo sapiens."

"Combined with their early advantages, they occupy those areas of the continent that are climate-friendly."

"The situation began to gradually reverse over the years."

"A comfortable environment that slows down the pace of evolution."

"In addition, the celestial beings at that time did not understand the dangers of consanguineous marriage, so that the deformity rate of the offspring born was extremely high."

"And we Homo sapiens, due to living in a harsh environment for a long time, not only has our bodies evolved stronger, but our reproductive ability has become stronger and stronger."

"Even Homo sapiens, who have learned to work as a team and create traps and weapons, have begun to be able to hunt down large beasts."

"And this is also the beginning of the catastrophe of heaven and man."

Then.

Chen Sheng was stunned.

"The celestials... Extinction? ”

"That's right."

Li Wuji nodded slowly.

"After having more power and conquering the vast majority of species."

"We, Homo sapiens, naturally began to challenge the celestials."

"As a result, as I said earlier."

"Being in a comfortable environment for a long time without too much danger has made most celestial beings at that time forget how to fight."

"In the face of a large number of Homo sapiens who know how to work in a team, it can be said that the celestial beings have no power to resist."

Speaking of which.

The arm that was originally moving quickly on the blackboard gradually slowed down.

Li Wuji hesitated.

seems to be struggling with what is going on, whether to tell Chen Sheng or not.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling Li Wuji's pause.

Chen Sheng asked aloud.

Li Wuji pondered for a moment.

His arm began to move again, but he did not directly answer Chen Sheng's question.

Rather, a new question is thrown.

"Chen Sheng."

"If one day, you find yourself in a position that is not absolutely righteous."

"What would you choose?"

Li Wuji's question is very strange.

There doesn't seem to be any necessary connection to the previous topic.

But when Xiao Hei conveyed the problem.

Chen Sheng immediately sensed the deep message in the question.

"Do you want to say that the reason why the celestials hate humans is because of what happened in the past?"

"Not bad."

Li Wuji nodded slowly.

"Although I am also a member of the human race, I know very well how much brutality there is in the bones of human beings."

"Driven by desire, many human beings can trample and harm with impunity, even to their own kind."

"What's more, it's an alien race."

"Our ancestors struggled for a long time in a harsh environment."

"But instead of being defeated, they are getting stronger."

"Over the long years, human ancestors climbed step by step to the top of the food chain."

"Traces of Homo sapiens, all over the planet."

"They're starting to get complacent with the status quo."

"As a result, the celestial beings who occupy a privileged environment have become the targets of Homo sapiens."

"Two races, though similar in appearance."

"But just as humans don't see monkeys as one of their kind."

"Celestial beings will not accept and welcome Homo sapiens."

"Homo sapiens, likewise, did not see celestial beings as human beings."

"And this time, there is no suspense about the result."

"Celestials, defeated."

"The brutality of Homo sapiens in the face of aliens is unimaginable."

"A large number of celestial beings were hunted as beasts by Homo sapiens."

"Their skulls, collected as trophies."

"Their skin was cut off and used as a carpet."

"It was even used as food to satisfy the stomach."

"Humans gradually formed tribes."

"And the cornerstone of those tribes is watered with the blood of celestials."

Speaking of which.

Li Wuji looked at Chen Sheng's face.

Seeing that he seemed to be puzzled.

He smiled and answered first.

"You must be curious, how do I know?"

"Once, like you, I was curious about the past between Celestial and Homo sapiens."

"I even thought about whether the two could not coexist peacefully, and that one must perish?"

"So I started looking for patterns that had been excavated and left behind by ancient humans."

"Most of this information is very fragmented."

"But with the ancient books left by my ancestors, it is barely enough for me to piece together the origin of what happened."

"And the murals of two of the ruins provide crucial information."

"The mural of the first ruin depicts the process of Homo sapiens hunting and killing celestial beings."

"Perhaps it is the reason for the long-term prosperity of life, the celestial beings at that time have gradually developed a social system, and they cherish the lives of their fellow tribes very much."

"It was a very strange thing in that period when the mind was not opened."

"And Homo sapiens, with the help of this."

"Homo sapiens would stab a woman or child from the celestial race into the ground and make them wail."

"Hearing the wailing of their compatriots, the celestials often find ways to rescue."

"Then they would be stabbed to death with spears by the swarming Homo sapiens, and brought back to the tribe, either as trophies or as food."

“。。。。。”

Listen to Li Wuji say this.

Even Chen Sheng didn't know what to say for a while.

This is far from what he originally thought.

During this time.

Chen Sheng had guessed countless times the reason why the celestial beings had great malice towards human beings.

For example, the celestials consider themselves to be high-level creatures, and they are not used to seeing low-level creatures like humans jumping around on the planet.

or,

The Celestials want to have some kind of power, and the humans are their hindrance.

Even

Chen Sheng also doubted that they were just in a game world.

Humans are the mobs in this game.

And the Celestial is the gamer.

The so-called sleep is just because it is offline.

Chen Sheng didn't think about it.

The reason why the celestials hate human beings and have great malice towards them.

It turned out to be because the heavenly beings had suffered a catastrophe because of human beings.

"And what about later?"

"How did the celestials survive?"

"How did they become what they are now?"

"Where does their strength come from?"

Chen Sheng concentrated.

What Li Wuji wants to say next is probably the key.

"This brings us to the second relic I mentioned earlier."

Speaking of which.

Li Wuji seemed to think of something.

In the depths of his eyes, a hint of fear flashed.

It seemed that the mention of the second mural reminded him of something extremely terrifying.

"The murals in that ruins are all in the same scene."

"In a primeval forest, nearly dozens of celestial beings have gathered, and beyond the forest, a large number of figures are approaching them."

"Their bodies were covered in scars and blood."

"Their faces are filled with hatred and resentment."

"They knelt in front of a statue of a god as if they were praying for something."

"Idols?"

Chen Sheng looked puzzled and spoke again.

And Li Wuji seems to already know what he is going to ask.

The old man just shook his head slowly.

"I haven't figured it out until now."

"It stands to reason that faith should have not developed in that era, and neither the celestial nor the Homo sapiens should have been capable of carving such lifelike statues of gods."

"The idol. It's weird. ”

"Not in human form."

"Judging from the mural, the main body is a large and lifelike eyeball."

"Around the eyeballs, there are countless indescribable things, like chaos, like some strangely shaped organ."

"I can't even think of any words to put it in."

"I just remember that when I saw that statue, it was as if I had fallen into the abyss."

"The endless darkness hit my mind like a tidal wave, and the temperature of my body seemed to be taken away in an instant."

"The whole person's consciousness began to fall into chaos, and the body even had a feeling of falling rapidly."

"If it weren't for someone who noticed something was wrong at the time, they would have woken me up immediately."

"It's hard for me to imagine what would have happened if I had continued to sink."

Li Wuji had a scared expression.

It was a brief experience at the time, and I still remember it vividly.

Hear the words.

Chen Sheng fell into deep thought.

Delicate and bulky statues of the gods.

Indescribable eyeballs.

If it was made by the celestials, then how could the celestials with such skills be slaughtered by the Homo sapiens like pigs and dogs?

If it weren't for the heavenly beings.

And who will it be?

And what role did this idol play in the battle between the celestial and the sapiens?

"And after that?"

Chen Sheng, who was desperate to know the answer, asked.

Li Wuji didn't have an appetite for him.

"According to my calculations."

"At that time, those celestial beings should have fallen into a desperate situation in the pursuit of Homo sapiens."

With no way to escape, they began to pray to the idol in the center of the forest.

"At that time, I also wanted to know what was going on."

"It's a pity that the subsequent murals are seriously damaged."

"It's as if someone deliberately destroyed it."

"Only the last few murals are still intact."

"And the scenes in those murals have not changed, they are still in the primeval forest."

"It's just that the identities of the hunter and the prey have been reversed."

"Those hunted down celestials have lost their primitive hair and become what they are now."

"Red diamond-shaped crystals, appearing at the center of their eyebrows."

"At the same time, these celestial beings also have the power of authority as we know it."

"They summoned thunder and a storm that killed all the Homo sapiens who pursued them."

"That's the earliest record of supernatural power in the world today."

"It seems that it was from that time that the existence of 'qi' appeared in our world."

What?

Chen Sheng's face was stunned.

If according to what Li Wuji said.

Gas. Was it brought by the celestials?

"It seems to be so."

As soon as Li Wuji saw Chen Sheng's expression, he knew the question in his heart.

"Of course, this is speculated by later generations through various clues."

"But it's true."

"Before the time when Homo sapiens hunted the celestials, there was no sign of supernatural power in our world."

"There are no so-called holders of authority, nor those ancient beasts that fly all over the sky and walk all over the ground."

"All the records of supernatural power are after the heavens and men have the power."

After listening to what Li Wuji said.

Chen Sheng's brows furrowed, deep in thought.

Although what Li Wuji said solved many of his doubts.

For example, the reason why the celestial beings hate human beings.

And the reason why the celestials have such terrifying power is probably inseparable from that huge statue.

But

It also brought more doubts to Chen Sheng.

Who erected that statue?

And why, can he have such terrifying power, and can the celestials, who were originally still in the primitive human stage, hold power, and even make them directly immortal?

Where did the power of that statue come from?

Or from whom?

It is so generous to give the power of heaven and man, it can't be charity.

Time.

Chen Sheng only felt heavy in his heart.
