Chapter 413 The Blessings of a Gentleman Endure Only After Three Generations! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

"I don't have many memories of the ancient times, because when I successfully awakened my intelligence and advanced to the 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion King, the ancient times ended in less than 10,000 years, and the chaotic Dark Ages began. However, there is something you should be interested in: in that short period of less than 10,000 years, a Soul Pattern Civilization was born at the end of the era. This is a human civilization that was born 100,000 years ago. It is also the ancestor of the Soul Guidance Devices on your current continent, and at the same time, the builder of these ruins."

Ice Empress's eyes were filled with reminiscence, and her tone unconsciously carried a hint of melancholy. The lifespan of a soul beast was so long that the rise and fall of a civilization was merely a small fragment of its vast existence. (This is a timeline patch explaining the timeline of Douluo Continent from the Dragon God Era to the Soul Master Era, and also offering an explanation for the strange phenomena in the archaeological research of soul tools. Accuracy is not required, only logical consistency.)

"Humans? So, the primordial humans were visitors from outer space, right? They imitated their form and joined the ranks of the primordial humans, thus indirectly unlocking the martial souls of Soul Masters. A martial soul is a kind of bloodline totem. The current human Soul Master civilization is a product created by visitors from outer space and ancient Soul Beasts, right?" Suddenly, Chen Hong grasped the key words in Bingdi's words, and his previously confused thoughts became clear at this moment.

"Huh? We haven't even talked yet, how do you know everything?!" Hyotei stared at Chen Hong's back in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that a human with a lifespan of only a thousand years could know about news from 100,000 years ago, a time that should have been lost.

Even the Snow Empress couldn't help but look at Chen Hong with new respect. Although she hadn't lived as long as the Ice Empress, she was still a fraction of that age. Chen Hong knew information that she didn't even know before her.

Is this the wisdom of a mere human imp?

"Two years ago, I made a series of deductions about the origin of human soul masters. However, deductions are still just deductions, lacking strong evidence. Your words only helped me corroborate my point of view. Therefore, the moment you didn't consider humans as a branch of soul beasts in your words, I knew that the origin of humanity was not pure, at least not from the perspective of soul beasts. Then the rest is very easy to explain. Extraterrestrial humans and ancient soul beasts that had transformed over 100,000 years jointly created the ancient human civilization. At the same time, because of the close relationship between the two sides, humans and soul beasts were forbidden from attacking each other, and the soul master system could not be established. Instead, a completely new soul pattern civilization was established, which is the predecessor of soul tools."

"Martial Souls are ancient bloodline totems flowing in the bloodlines of human Soul Masters. Soul Beast Martial Souls correspond to the orc ancestors of 100,000 years ago, while Body Martial Souls correspond to extraterrestrial humans who lacked soul power 100,000 years ago. Powerful Weapon Martial Souls were originally related to the limbs of Soul Beasts, but later, due to the instability and mutation of the bloodline, they evolved into Weapon Martial Souls that gradually separated from Soul Beasts, and even other strange and peculiar Martial Souls. The instability and mutation of the bloodline also affect the Soul Master's cultivation talent."

"As the saying goes, the blessings of a virtuous person last only three generations."

"The first generation of beastmen, at their peak, should have been able to cultivate to the level of a nine-ring Douluo through their own bloodline power. The second generation of beastmen might only be able to cultivate to the level of a Soul Saint. And so on, tens of thousands of years later, after hundreds of generations, the beastmen successfully evolved into humans. The bloodline power declined to the strongest humans, who could only achieve the level ten innate soul power, and could not even become an innate one-ring soul master."

"As compensation, the bloodline power that humanity lost can be replenished by absorbing soul rings from soul beasts, thus ultimately creating the foundation of the modern soul master system."

Amidst the stunned gazes of Xue Di and Bing Di, Chen Hong, with his back to them, rattled off a series of research conclusions on the origins of humanity and the origins of Soul Masters.

"You...you know everything!" Hyotei stared blankly at the tiny human figure standing beneath the runic ice pillar in front of her.

"You want to ask, since I know everything, why do I still treat soul beasts so badly?" Chen Hong then turned his head slightly, leaving Ice Emperor with a perfect and cold profile.

"As the saying goes, the blessings of a virtuous person last only three generations. Between two races, there is only a basis for cooperation, not a question of who protects whom, who obeys whom, or who is subservient to whom."

Upon hearing this, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were stunned and remained silent, a heavy silence falling over them.

Chen Hong turned back to look at the rune-inscribed ice pillar in front of him. It was the super wisdom left to future generations by a group of crazy pioneers from the previous era!

"The Soul Master system is incomplete, or rather, for tens of thousands of years, the Soul Master system has lacked a relatively correct guiding theory that can serve as a framework. This is precisely what I am currently doing: perfecting the framework of the Soul Master system. In other words, making the Soul Master system an independent power system, allowing Soul Masters to regain the bloodline power of their ancestors, condense Soul Rings on their own, condense Soul Bones on their own, and acquire cultivation talents on their own. Soul Beasts may benefit in this process, but as the saying goes, the times will eliminate all species that do not strive for progress. When the Soul Master system becomes an independent power system, Soul Beasts will face an absolutely superior race that can completely crush them in every aspect."

"An absolutely superior race. Do you know what that means? It means that soul beasts will have no future and will be completely reduced to garbage in the process of biological evolution."

What is absolute superiority? It means that compared to him, you cannot demonstrate any of your own biological advantages.

"You!" Hyotei's face flashed with displeasure at Chen Hong's merciless rebuke.

His insults were really awful! She was clearly working very hard to cultivate herself!

Then, as if he could hear Hyotei's thoughts, Chen Hong turned his head to look at her, a slightly playful smile on his lips, and said, "Sometimes, direction is more important than effort."

"Hmph!" Ice Emperor snorted coldly, clearly understanding Chen Hong's meaning. She was working very hard, but in the Soul Beast system, compared with the Soul Master system which was still advancing at a high speed, her efforts seemed somewhat worthless.

What? You're saying you have a long lifespan?

Have you heard a story?

Would you do it if I asked you to be a superhero for three days?

Three days later, Earth perished.

In the face of ultimate violence, your lifespan is not something you can live as long as you want, but rather, it is something you can only live as long as I decide.

"Now I truly believe that within ten years, that angelic high priest will be able to reach the pinnacle of mortal power."

After a long silence, Xue Di, who hadn't said much, finally spoke softly.
