Chapter 7 History of the Hero
Through Elus’s words, Lonis understood the whole story.
Didn’t the previous human epoch encounter an invasion by monsters and many people died?
And the mastermind behind all this was naturally the Yixiu civilization.
However, these memories that humans deeply hated, and even grieved, were considered a gift to humans by the Yixiu civilization!
Because only by eliminating creatures can they evolve.
Humans evolved from single-celled organisms, multicellular organisms, primitive mammals, hominids, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens, undergoing many eliminations before becoming what they are today.
As for the Yixiu civilization, they spread Yixiu Fragments all over the world, and those who endured evolved, while those who did not, died.
This also led to many demons in the human world.
They are actually close relatives of humans, carrying some Yixiu blood and some human blood. Many orcs even evolved from wild animals!
…
What about the Supreme civilization?
It was much gentler.
They never bestowed death upon humans, nor did they display their existence. They simply gave their technology to humans without reservation.
Of course, even with no reservations, humans could only understand so much with their intelligence.
Because the average human IQ is only around 100-120, and the complexity of memory exists.
It takes at least 20 years to train a doctoral student, and at least another 20 years to complete a research project. Although humans’ top scientists have rich knowledge reserves, they are often at the end of their lives, and their minds are not as agile as when they were young.
Therefore, humans must rely on machine assistance, in short, computers.
But computers are also a double-edged sword.
If used well, they can assist humans; if used poorly, they can lead to loss of control and inversion of subject and object… After all, if knowledge can be recorded and research assisted by computers, why would human brains still need to memorize it?
This has led to many social problems.
For example, humans are unwilling to work, birth rates are low, and after the previous generation dies, more and more computers become the product of the “black box” effect. People only know how to make them work, but not their underlying logic.
Therefore, the destruction brought by the Supreme civilization to humanity is also immense.
It is represented by a decrease in birth population, and most scientific and technological knowledge is not inherited. Scientific logic collapses, and all sorts of machines going out of control are endless.
…
…
Lonis gasped. She didn’t know what a tragic situation she would have faced if she hadn’t died then.
“This, this kind of thing… Then, what happened later?”
“Later, you know, the Sun God Alice appeared. She integrated the power of Yixiu and the Supreme, and re-established the world’s order, but she also touched a sensitive spot… a fence-sitter.”
“Huh?!”
“That is to say, if humans developed the Yixiu and Supreme civilizations separately, they would not be targeted by cosmic civilizations. But what if you combine the two paths? That would be a threat.”
“!!”
“Although, at that time, humans ending was impossible to pose a real threat to cosmic civilizations, a threat is a threat. Even the smallest threat is unbearable to other existences.”
“…”
“So, a large-scale war broke out in the world at that time. Originally, the result should have been a crushing defeat for humans, but since both the Supreme and Yixiu participated, what was the reality? It was that the two of them fought each other.”
“Ah… ah?”
“That feeling is probably like indigenous people in tropical islands watching Japanese and American aircraft carriers engage in naval warfare in the Pacific. In the end, both the Supreme and Yixiu were severely weakened, and humans finally survived.”
“Then, are the warriors in this space station the defenders who guarded Earth at that time?”
“Yes, there were many similar units. Many did not have time to evacuate and were directly defeated. Although humans ultimately survived, they also suffered immense destruction.”
“!”
“First, many systems were destroyed, and much advanced scientific knowledge became fragmented and unusable. All demons and humans also stopped evolving. Otherwise, I should be able to walk in space and breathe, shouldn’t I?”
“Ah, ah?”
“Walking in the void with a physical body was one of Yixiu’s core technologies, right? However, not a single demon on our Earth has this ability. Even if they did, it would only be like hibernation, turning themselves into a thinking meteorite.”
“I see…”
Lonis rubbed her forehead. She didn’t expect so many things to have happened in the past.
But…
“Huh? Right, Elus, since this matter is so important, why wasn’t it taught in ancient history textbooks? And it seems like everyone, including Su Ling, doesn’t know about this.”
“That’s naturally because we don’t want ordinary people to become too interested in the Yixiu and Supreme civilizations.”
“Uh!”
“Although a thousand years have passed, there are still many traces of the Supreme and Yixiu in this world. If they were collected by people with ulterior motives, it might cause disaster.”
“!”
“For example, this pond water is polluted by Yixiu’s power. If you drink it, there is a 99% chance of death and a 1% chance of becoming a superhuman. But if it’s a heinous gambler, pushed to a dead end, he would also drink it. If he happens to survive, it would be a disaster for ordinary people.”
“I see…”
“So for the vast majority of people in this world, it is best to downplay the traces of the Supreme and Yixiu existing. And people can live happier lives without knowing these things? If you need power, you just need to know about Rainbow Abyss. It’s reliable and has no side effects.”
“Phew…”
Lonis took a deep breath. Now, she almost understood everything.
“Then, the reason why Land of Eternity was built on the Moon is also because…”
“Yes, it’s also because it’s the most important combat command center for humans! If a hero is chosen, they can directly obtain a physical body and go to the front lines to fight against Yixiu and the Supreme. And on the Land of Eternity, there are permanent teleportation gates leading to the seven Rainbow Abysses, so heroes from all over the world can gather here.”
“!”
“Setting the main battlefield on the Moon was also the wisest choice for humans. Otherwise, if they were shaken by the aftermath of the battle, the entire Earth’s ecosystem would be completely destroyed.”
“I see, I see…”
At this point, Lonis, like a child returning after completing her studies, connected everything she had experienced.
But…
“Huh, wait a moment! If Land of Eternity is on the Moon, then why am I…”
“Hmph, that’s naturally because you, little idiot, were not qualified to be a hero at that time and were not conscripted into the war.”
“Huh?!”
“Because you were too silly, too stupid, and were a discarded product! That’s why this princess had to reluctantly choose you, little idiot? As it turns out, the decisions of the ancient heroes were correct. Otherwise, if they brought out a weak uke masochist hero, everyone would die of laughter before the battle even started.”
“How can you say that!!!!”
“Tail-pulling.”
“Wuwu…”
Although she wanted to deny it, being teased by Elus, Lonis couldn’t say a word~
