Chapter 18 The Human World
We come from the other world, and we are a passage between the human world and the other world.
My hometown is called the Human World, and there is a very powerful race living in this world.
Their strength is different from that of otherworldly races, they have strong bodies and strong intelligence, but ...... But there are also many fatal flaws.
That's ...... They don't have a soul of their own!
There is a legend in this world that once upon a time, there was a great and powerful race called the 'Heavenly Demon Race'.
Once upon a time, this race coexisted with the Celestials and ruled over the entire Celestial Realm.
However...... One day, there was a man of that race who made a mistake.
It was their Son, the Son of the Celestials, who had been expelled from the tribe after committing a great mistake.
Subsequently...... Their people were cursed.
Curses make them stronger, but they also make them lose their souls.
Of course...... The curse hasn't fully kicked yet, and they can still have great power.
As long as they have enough strength, they can return to their homeland.
At that time, mankind had already established new social forms, including governments, armies, secret service organizations, and so on.
And...... Human science and technology are becoming more and more developed.
Therefore, the strength of human beings has surpassed that of the other world.
However, these races are not satisfied.
They have always wanted to reappear in the heavenly realm and rule the heavenly realm.
They want to recreate the splendor of the celestial realm and recreate the light of the divine realm.
So...... So they tried to create all kinds of monsters.
Although the monsters have great strength, they have no mind and no autonomous consciousness.
And their purpose...... It's destruction!
Under this crazy thought, they created a large number of monsters.
These monsters, they slaughter humans in all sorts of ways.
When a human dies, he is absorbed into a monster;
......
Humanity has no power to resist this, and thousands of lives are lost at the hands of these monsters every day.
Their corpses piled up into mountains, and the blood pooled into an ocean.
That tragedy lasted for a long, long time.
In the end, the big names of the Heavenly Realm couldn't help it.
They sent a large number of troops to clean up these monsters.
However...... The strength of these monsters is too strong.
Not only do they have great strength and intelligence, but they also have strong defensive and offensive capabilities.
Their strength is no worse than that of humans, and they can also use this powerful strength and attack ability to annihilate all those powerful forces.
And the gods also came to this world to help humanity fend off monsters.
Ultimately...... The monster flinched.
They began to multiply everywhere and began to wreak havoc in the secular world.
Human life is threatened, human civilization is also declining, and human life is also plunged into darkness as a result.
Ultimately...... The monsters retreated to their original habitat and sealed all the passages.
In this world, peace has finally returned.
It's just that...... The world is not as peaceful as it seems.
Under the oppression of the gods, the power here continues to expand, and the status of humanity is also declining.
Among the human race, there are several forces known as the Demon Gate and the Immortal Gate.
They are secretly and constantly encroaching on other forces, and then swallowing this one up.
Although Heavenly Court has been suppressing them, it ...... But they can't stop their ambitions.
After a long time, the Demon Gate and the Immortal Gate joined forces with the intention of overthrowing the Heavenly Court.
Although the people of Heavenly Court are very powerful, they ...... After all, they had ascended from the mortal realm, and they could not be compared to these two forces.
Eventually, Heaven fell.
......
I am human.
It's a very ordinary, ordinary story, but ...... But people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
I've heard this story many times, but I've never felt so real and painful.
My body was shaking.
These...... Is it all true?
But......
But this is a false story, a conspiracy in the heavenly realm.
Who would believe such a story?
"Can you believe it?" Then...... I looked at the person in front of me and said.
They are human beings.
This sentence...... I want to ask them the answer.
I looked at them and hoped they would give me a satisfactory answer.
But......
"......"
They just looked at me in silence.
There is no fear, no fear, no anger, no hatred, not even resentment in their eyes, they don't have any emotional fluctuations, as if they don't exist in this world.
Their eyes didn't move a bit, as if they were ...... A walking corpse, a machine that only knows how to obey orders.
Their eyes are deep and distant, as if they have seen through everything in the world, and have seen through birth, old age, sickness and death.
I involuntarily stepped back and sat down on the floor.
This world ...... How can there be such a person?
Why?
These...... What's going on?
I can't help but think of my mother.
What kind of people are my parents?
And why did they leave us?
Why did you leave us behind?
We...... Is it an outcast?
......
Are we really just someone else's pawn?
Are they really evil monsters, as the legend describes?
I can't imagine.
"We ...... I don't know. "
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Because...... A long, long time ago, no one could know where they came from, and it was by chance that we met His Majesty the Celestials, and he told us that we ...... It is what he called the 'Demon Gate and the Immortal Gate'. "
"Your Majesty?"
I was stunned.
'His Majesty' in his mouth...... Could it be Shennong?
"Yes, Your Majesty the Celestials, he is the greatest being in this world."
The voice continued, "His name is Shennong. "
"Shennong?" I was stunned: "Shennong's family?" "
"Yes, Shennong."
I looked at these 'monsters' in front of me.
Although they don't have any feelings, they don't have any mood swings, they don't have any joys and sorrows, they don't have any mood swings.
But......
I know...... These 'monsters' are not without desire.
Because......
In their eyes, there is a deep hatred.
I know.
They hated the Emperor of Heaven.
But......
I don't understand.
Why do they hate the Emperor of Heaven?
Could it be because of the oppression of the Heavenly Court?
Or is it because they're monsters, so ...... To be so angry?
......
It's a mystery.
"And what about your names?" I looked at them and asked.
"Our name?"
"Yes."
I looked at them with anticipation in my eyes.
They looked at me and said, "Our name is ......
Scarlet Devil ......
My pupils dilated instantly.
This is...... Bloodline?!
"......"
Looking at those monsters, my whole heart was beating violently.
In this world, are there really monsters?
These people ...... Isn't it also a monster?
I looked at them with doubts in my eyes.
The monsters looked at me and said, "We're not monsters. "
"......"
They said...... They are not monsters.
But...... They look exactly like monsters.
"Why is that?" I looked at them and asked.
They looked at me for a moment, then looked at me and said, "Because we...... It has been transformed, and our souls have been integrated into the characteristics of the human race. "
"Transformation?"
My brow furrowed.
These people ......
Actually a modified human?
I felt a strong sense of shock and panic.
This kind of thing......
It's incredible.
I couldn't believe it at all, and I couldn't accept this outcome.
These people, not monsters, then ...... What is their true deity?
My heart was full of doubts and worries.
But......
At this moment, they suddenly raised their heads, then looked at me and said, "Our deity is dead. "
"What?!" I looked at them with wide eyes and said, "He'...... How did he die? "
Their faces suddenly darkened, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at me again.
Looking at their reactions, I was even more sure of my guesses.
They...... It was really killed.
That person, why did you kill them?
What is his purpose?
Don't......
The woman's face came to my mind.
"I won't hurt you."
Her voice rang in my ears, and her tone was full of care and pity.
"I'm not going to let you hurt me."
I said firmly.
"But he's going to hurt you."
"Nope." I shook my head, "I'm sure I'm not going to be hurt by him." "
I'm not going to be hurt by him.
He is my husband, I love him, I love him, and I will not leave him.
Even if he wants my life, even if he wants to cut me with a thousand knives, I will not betray him.
"But what if he's the Emperor of Heaven?"
