Chapter 295: The Root of the War
Darcy looked at him deeply and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he nodded and said, “I acknowledge you. You are worthy of being the king of the human race.”
“What else do you want to ask me? I will tell you everything.”
Su Han turned his head to look at him. After a long time, he frowned and said, “I want to know the reason why this war broke out.”
Yes.
The root cause of this war.
Why did the First Human race declare war on their entire world in a crazed manner? Why were they able to cruelly treat their own kind as livestock to nurture them?
Also, the destruction of the world back then, the formation of the shattered world… Could it be that the aftermath of the battle had broken the structure of the world? Was it really possible for a mortal race to shatter the world?
Su Han had too many questions that he had yet to solve.
Darcy asked deeply, “Do you believe in gods?”
Su Han was slightly stunned before shaking his head. He did not believe in gods. He was not from this world to begin with. Back on Earth, he did not believe in the existence of gods. After transmigrating here, he simply did not have any faith in the so-called gods.
Because he felt that rather than believing in those illusory gods, it was better to believe in himself.
Putting his faith in the gods was just a pitiful and cowardly act.
Su Han said, “Are you trying to tell me that there are really so-called gods in this world?”
Darcy said deeply, “There are, but I am unable to produce conclusive evidence. However, in our era, as long as you have faith in the gods, you will be able to feel their whispers and receive their grace.”
He raised his head and looked into the distance, he said, “In the ancient legends, the gods were the first creatures to appear in this world. They are both living creatures and a part of the law. Every race has their own gods. They think that they are the descendants of the gods left in the mortal world. As long as they focus on cultivation, one day, they will be able to receive the guidance of the gods and step into the upper world where the gods live.”
Su Han moved slightly and asked, “What about us humans? Are we the so-called God of War?”
Darcy shook his head and said, “No, we are different from the other races. The human race don’t have their own gods.”
Su Han raised his head. When he was young, he had learned a lot from his teacher. The human race seemed to be different from all the other races. They didn’t have fixed beliefs. It seemed that they believed in all the gods, but they also didn’t believe in any gods.
Even in the Second Continent, there were still many people like him who did not believe in any gods.
But what did this mean?
Darcy said dejectedly, “In our era, before the human race became strong, the status of the human race among the ten thousand races was not very high. For a long time, we were called the abandoned children of the gods, which meant that we were abandoned by the gods.”
“This period lasted for tens of thousands of years until one day, all the believers of the gods in the world lost the sense of the gods at the same time. Not only on the Second Continent, but also on the five continents, all the races fell into panic.”
Su Han’s heart skipped a beat. He had lost the so-called whispers and grace of the gods?
Darcy nodded, he said, “That’s right. No one knows what went wrong. It seems that the gods abandoned all the races in an instant. During that period, there were wars everywhere. All kinds of rumors and doomsday rumors filled the entire continent. During this period, they called it the era of the gods’ abandonment.”
He was burdened with both gains and losses as his thoughts slowly flowed.
“At that time, there was no so-called division between the First Human race and the Second Human race. It was not until the end of the god-forsaken era that the world structure was re-established. It was also during that period that the human race rose up. They occupied the most fertile continent among the five continents and named it the First Continent. And it was during that period that conflicts began to arise.”
He frowned and said, “At that time, although the First Human race was high and mighty, they did not show much hostility toward the other races. It was only after the Tenth Emperor of the First Human race was established that the First Human race suddenly launched a purge of all the other races in the world. Even our compatriots living on other continents mercilessly killed them.”
After listening to him, Su Han frowned and said, “Is there no reason?”
Darcy said deeply, “This is what I have been puzzled about all this time. The reason they launched the war is completely based on the direct orders of the Tenth Emperor. Even many of the First Human race do not know the specific reason. No one knows what the Tenth Emperor is planning.”
Su Han looked at him and said, “The First Humans just listen to their orders? How dare they brazenly start a purge of the entire world?”
Darcy said dejectedly, “Their hatred for the ten thousand races has been accumulated for a long time. When they kill, they won’t feel any burden in their hearts. They think this is a form of revenge.”
“And all those who don’t want to kill with them are exiled by them. They even carried out a cruel screening in the First Human’s homeland. All the humans who were selected were also killed and expelled by them. In a large sense, our Second Human race is made up of those few parts of the human race.”
Su Han didn’t expect that the so-called Second Human race actually had such a history.
He suddenly noticed the screening mentioned in Darcy’s words and asked, “Screening? What kind of screening?”
Darcy shook his head and said, “I don’t know. It seems to be the so-called racial purity. In my opinion, it’s just a means for them to get rid of their dissidents.”
Su Han nodded, but he vaguely felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
Darcy continued, “The contradiction kept intensifying. In the end, it finally turned into an all-out war involving five continents. But unfortunately, after the consumption of the god-forsaken era, the power of the ten thousand races added up could not compete with the First Human race. The power of the Tenth Emperor is really too powerful.”
Su Han frowned and asked, “How did the shattered world come into being? Could it be that the power of the Tenth Emperor is already powerful enough to destroy the structure of the world?”
Darcy shook his head, he said with disappointment, “As I said before, as long as one is not a god, the power of mortals will never be able to touch the foundation of the world. We were completely defeated in the great battle at that time. We were already at the point where there was no way out. At the last moment, all the races could only place their hopes on their gods…”
Su Han’s heart moved, and he said, “You mean, gods…”
Darcy did not give him a definite answer. He looked at the temples of the other races in the distance and said, “I don’t know. At that time, it was still the era of forsaken gods. They could not sense any feedback in the temples, but at that time, it was a desperate gamble. All the races carried out their last begging, and then a miracle happened…”
