Alien Dust

Chapter 582: The Sky Mender

"It's as if a piece of the sky of the Cangchu God is missing, pouring down merciless floods, eroding our originally fertile soil, causing all of us humans to suffer from the calamity of the sky's missing pieces. We will have no peace for generations to come. Perhaps what the immortals said is right. This is the calamity that all of us humans need to overcome..."

"We were all once the people of Nuwa. When the goddess Nuwa was at her most powerful, she used her body as a piece of celestial stone to block the gap in the sky for our race and gave us peace. Her body completely disappeared, and her soul turned into countless seeds that drifted to all places."

"Now, a greater gap in the sky is right above each of our heads. We hope that you, who are carrying on the most ancient tradition, can step forward and continue to complete the mission that Goddess Nuwa was unable to accomplish."

The man in the black sundial robe went on to say that these words were not only meant for Wu Hen to hear, but also for all the human race.

At the same time, this also confirms Li Feng’s theory that the entire Cangchu Divine Realm is a world composed of countless Nuwa gods.

The so-called missing piece of the sky is just a metaphor. What is truly manifested in this world are those alien disasters that cannot be understood by common sense. These disasters have caused the world to breed all kinds of strange species and formed a food chain with no visible top...

So what exactly causes the "deficiency of the sky"?
From the current dimension that Cang Chu is in, it is impossible to see what this "defect in the sky" is.

To understand it from a more scientific perspective, it is like a person on a two-dimensional plane cannot understand what a hole with depth is.

The gods of all races of the human race, including immortals who transcend the mundane world, also cannot explain the "erosion".

In fact, there are countless laws of the universe, some of which are beneficial to mankind, and some of which cause suffering to mankind. The Daxuan Dynasty has reached the top of scientific and technological civilization. They are exploring the natural laws of the alien wasteland and making use of them. But as Huang Xian said, no matter how proud the Daxuan Dynasty is, it is only because they discovered dark matter and made use of it, but they don’t know where dark matter comes from and who created it...

Humans have only learned to use tools, but have never figured out where “tools” come from?

The alien erosion that has caused the human race to suffer so much is just a law of the universe. However, this law is extremely harmful to the human race. It is like a piece of the sky is missing, and a ruthless flood from the sky is pouring down on the earth. All living things on the earth will be swallowed up by the flood, except for those who hide in the Nuwa Goddess, which is transformed from the soul seed of the goddess Nuwa. They are like they have an ark, and are temporarily unaffected by this natural disaster.

Therefore, humans of Nuwa's lineage are lucky.

You can live in Nuwa's extremely friendly laws towards humans and have a relatively peaceful environment, but this is just an ark sailing aimlessly in the huge waves. The ark will be destroyed one day and decay one day. When that day comes, it will be the time for humans to face the horrific natural disasters of the alien wasteland - this is why that day will come, the world is virtual.

In fact, the ancestors of all the surviving human beings in the entire Cangchu Divine Realm have experienced that day, but their accounts are different.

In one case, our ark sank, and we needed to swim to an isolated island to survive; in another case, our continent bordered a different dimension, where there existed a large number of horrible creatures; in another case, they discovered alien civilizations through technology, and the entire alien civilization was invading their world... Each lineage of the human race had its own version of the story, and there were also different versions of the legend about Nuwa mending the sky.

Before, when guarding the Soul Dwelling Tree, Wu Hen had joked that if the Soul Dwelling Tree eventually grew into the Nuwa Sacred Tree, the souls that were led into the Nuwa Sacred Tree would multiply into a huge nation. This nation might also pass down a legend from generation to generation, about two men and one woman who created the world, eliminated evil spirits, and established a peaceful world for them.

In the inheritance of all the human race, Nuwa mending the sky did exist, but what it really looked like is probably difficult to verify. But at this moment all the human race needs to face the same problem together, that is, there is a missing piece of the sky, who is going to mend it?
"Have you discussed everything?" Wu Hen finally asked the question. "Three hundred years ago, there was a very powerful Nuwa lineage. They were almost at the top of our Cangchu God Realm. They didn't want to be the sky repairers, so they killed the leaders of our major human races and wanted to become the sole ruler of Cangchu God Realm... Since then, everyone has been calling for the Nuwa lineage to be killed, like rats crossing the street." The man in the black sundial robe said.

"Thank you so much for solving the doubts that had plagued me for years, but I would be happier if you could tell me how the dinosaurs became extinct," said Wu Hen.

"Then what is your choice? Will you confront us Cang Chu again, causing you and your Nuwa clan to be inferior people forever, or will you continue to complete your mission and become the sky-menders respected by our Cang Chu? I don't like to play boring words. In fact, we can just praise you and tell you the truth, and let you do this willingly while being respected by all races. But our ancestors did that three hundred years ago. In my opinion, it is better to tell you the facts and let you make your own choice." said the man in the black sundial robe.

"What if I don't agree?" Wu Hen asked.

"That's easy. Since you are a black immortal, you have so many inferior human vassals. You can select a group from these inferior vassal humans and ask them to repair the sky. The ceremony of worshiping the sky, the ceremony of worshiping the sky. How can we explain to our ancestors and future generations if we don't offer sacrifices?" The man in the black sundial robe said with a smile.

If Nuwa's lineage does not leave, then a human race will definitely be chosen.

"The goddess Nuwa is gone, the sky must be repaired. Without the sacred stone and the gods, we will use the flesh of the human race to fill it. A hundred years is a hundred years."

"Of course, if there are human warriors who volunteer to go to the sky and find the source of the sky deficiency, that would be great. At least we will respect them immensely, and we will also respect their descendants."

The man in the black sundial robe did not describe the ceremony as sacred and mysterious as the capitalist immortal did. He was just stating the facts, using an equal and indifferent method to tell the human race what the source of their suffering was, and to tell them that the sky-mending ceremony must continue. Even if there are only a few human beings in the Cangchu Divine Realm, the sky-mending ceremony must be passed down, and if it is to be passed down, someone must be chosen...

The Nuwa lineage doesn’t have to go.

After all, the current military strength of the Nuwa lineage is already considered to be above average among the ten thousand lineages of the human race.

But Nuwa's lineage must choose a human race to go.

"We won't choose either." Wu Hen also had a tough attitude.

"This is not up to you. The philosophy we in Daxuan uphold is not about equality and freedom." said the man in the black sundial robe.

The cold-blooded woman Cai Lan was obviously on the same side as the royal family member Daxuan in this matter. She told Wu Hen with her eyes that he had to make this decision.

The Nuwa lineage can choose not to go, but they must choose a scapegoat.
