I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 539 - 30: The Greatest Despair in Human History
"So, let’s talk about it."
Ning Zheng, as the Bone Demon Commander, spoke with a big fish head on.
In the meeting room, were the blacksmiths in charge of various regions, the Immortal Aunt, Medical Fairy, Mudworker, Food God, Daojiu...
Meanwhile, the White Flower was locked in the next room.
The blacksmiths all looked solemn, with a hidden excitement.
But some newcomers outside, those who are afraid of horror movies, were quite scared. They came to farm, not to play horror games.
"Here’s how things are."
Night Mad Cultivator briefly recounted the situation for White Flower.
Then, Daojiu immediately said, "Should we control all the students in our Fish Wine City Academy?"
"Qing opened the Three Flowers, clearly becoming a pseudo-human. Others whose Spiritual Roots have changed are potential pseudo-humans, and will certainly be possessed and turn into pseudo-humans after opening the Three Flowers."
These Three Flowers clearly have self-awareness!
You open its Three Flowers, and it possesses you.
The Three Flowers are the true body!
This is probably the truth about the pseudo-humans.
"No, don’t alert the enemy."
Su Yuniang said, "Do you think only the academy is infected? Possibly the entire city, many residents from last night have been infected, becoming potential pseudo-humans."
"Even many of the little blacksmiths who slept last night were infected," someone said. "Like some people present here."
Some little blacksmiths got goosebumps, looking around cautiously, fearing potential pseudo-humans might have mixed in.
So outrageous.
Ning Zheng shook his head, "Highly unlikely. Our Protective Shield from the Immortal Artifact isn’t so easily broken through."
"That’s true, the Immortal Artifact’s Protective Shield isn’t easily invaded by low-level pseudo-humans."
A little blacksmith suggested, "Tonight, some of us should stay in the city to undergo the pseudo-human baptism."
Ning Zheng’s face darkened slightly.
I’m saying you’re safe, and you’re regretting not being parasitized by pseudo-humans?
Feeling unable to catch the spies among the crowd, can’t play hide and seek?
"Ahem, ahem."
Night Mad Cultivator coughed twice, "Everyone, based on the existing evidence, combined with the information from the Ancestral Human Biography, we have basically sorted out the historical truth of the pseudo-humans."
"If I’m not mistaken, the Ancient Ape Race never had Innate Spiritual Roots from the start."
"The so-called Celestial Spirit Root was originally some kind of special Postnatal Spiritual Root, possibly even a parasitic type."
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.
The origin of history, the Human Race, was a race without Spiritual Roots.
In ancient times, a type of parasitic flower—pseudo-humans, parasitized the weak ancient apes.
Just like the aliens in movies, laying eggs on the ancient apes, using them as a mother nest, bursting out at the necessary time to replace the ancient apes.
But this parasite should have one characteristic.
It can only infect part of the human group.
There is a part that is a parasitic immune body, either uninfectable, or non-possessable!
Thus, two kinds of people appeared in human history.
1. Talented with Spiritual Roots.
Innately having Spiritual Roots, can detect them and be a prodigy cultivating immortality, a host for pseudo-humans.
2. Trash without Spiritual Roots.
Born without Spiritual Roots, can only waste away a hundred years, ending despondently.
This type of mortal was despised by Immortals.
In fact, they are the real humans!
"And their mode of infection is constantly evolving as well."
The Medical Fairy, a professional medical student with knowledge of evolution theory,
"Initially, their reproduction method was like that of the Human Ancestor, spread through communication, physical contact, to one tribe after another."
"But afterward, when 99% of the human world became pseudo-humans, how would they spread?"
"Of course, it would be spread directly at birth, the most rational and convenient way, which is through parental bloodline heredity, Spiritual Root inheritance!"
"Just like the Xin Dynasty’s Royal Family, their Innate Spirit Root, Firewood, bloodline parasitic inheritance operates on that principle."
"But a portion that cannot be parasitized may become a mortal without Spiritual Roots from birth."
"And all of the Human Race was parasitized... This pseudo-human’s breakthrough timing is opening the Three Flowers." The Medical Fairy said, "Opening the Three Flowers is the biggest deception in human history, knowing I am me... hehe."
They already had that scene in their minds.
The "Immortals," looking at a group of scholars opening the Three Flowers, waiting for them to do so.
The "Immortals" asked, "Do you know who you are now?"
New pseudo-humans inheriting the original’s memory after opening the Three Flowers: "After opening the Three Flowers, only then do I know who I am."
At this thought, everyone’s goosebumps rose, Three Flowers bloom, I know who I am.
How ironic!
They recalled those lines about opening the Three Flowers.
[Plant the Spiritual Root, enjoy freedom, break free from the head cage to return to freedom]
This sentence, now interpreted, clearly is a pseudo-human praising itself: Planting them brings freedom, opening the Three Flowers breaks free from the head cage, successfully emerging to enjoy freedom.
[Reason is the prisoner of the spirit cage, madness finds the nature of freedom!!]
This sentence is clearly also the "Immortals" mocking humanity.
The true self?
Fake me?
Who am I really?
When am I not myself? When am I truly me?
Moreover, immortals have a rather distinct characteristic.
In the era of the Innate Human Race, after opening the Three Flowers and stepping onto the Immortal Path, they became elegant and detached, gradually distancing themselves from their mortal parents.
This is called the difference between immortals and mortals!
Now thinking about it, only the "pseudo-human" opened the Three Flowers, inherited the original owner’s memories, and naturally distanced themselves from human parents.
Because they are not truly their parents.
In the eyes of the "pseudo-humans," the human race without Spiritual Roots is simply not the same kind; humans are just their lowly breeding grounds.
The human race is nothing but the livestock they rear as parasites.
"But after long years, the upper echelons of the pseudo-humans decided to completely hide the truth of their race at some point."
"After all, it’s an obvious thing, when 99% of a race are pseudo-humans, can they still be called pseudo-humans? They are the real humans themselves, the human race itself!"
"Thus, pseudo-humans forgot they were pseudo-humans."
But the instinctual hostility in their bloodline still led "immortals" to treat mortals with disdain.
If they are not of the same race, how could they not kill?
Therefore, the previous immortals’ disregard for the lives of mortals without Spiritual Roots was entirely understandable!
Such abuse and degradation of mortals stemmed from them not being of the same species.
Thus, after the Jiushui Dynasty was established, the founding heroes of the Jiushui Dynasty harbored such resentment towards the "Innate Human Race."
Because these Innate Human Race were not humans at all!
They were pseudo-humans who had taken over bodies.
So those founding heroes, with grievances accumulated in their hearts, abused people like "Xu Huan" and treated them as livestock to be reared!
Their hatred is deeply ingrained!
"But clearly, apart from those few founders, the newer generation after the founding, like Xinyi Yun, did not know the truth about the pseudo-humans."
"That’s why Xinyi Yun pleaded for Xu Huan and others at the time, and even punished some of the founding heroes."
Shao Chaikun added.
Night Mad Cultivator also shared his perspective:
"Previously, the Human God asked, what is the most special trait of the human race? It’s not reproductive ability, nor inherent wisdom, the only unique feature of the human race is having no fur."
"Now, it’s clear the Human God is deceiving us again; the most special trait of the human race is their innate lack of Spiritual Roots."
"The so-called Innate Spirit Root is a scam, essentially a bunch of conscious postnatal Spiritual Roots—a certain demon race flower, parasitizing humans, this is their way of survival."
"And the Human God himself, at the moment he gained divine techniques as an ape, was already dead once parasitized!"
Therefore, in the Ancestral Human Biography, when tribes encountered the pseudo-human calamity, they couldn’t resist at all.
Because the leader of the ancestors, the Human God, was the greatest pseudo-human, how could the human race resist?
The traitor was their king!
At this point, everyone shared their opinions, piecing together the puzzles of the Xu Huan case and the Human God incident, eventually reaching a conclusion.
"The Xin Dynasty royal family, including all the prior Innate Spirit Root eras of the Xin Dynasty... were all eras of the pseudo-humans."
"How tragic, how despairing."
"Young human scholars, full of hope and yearning, aspired to become immortals...but the instant they succeeded in opening the Three Flowers, they were parasitized by some terrifying Three Flowers, dying the moment the Three Flowers opened."
"Generations of children died at the moment brimming with hope, how ironic."
Many people, thinking of such a dark and despairing era, felt like crying; it was so tragic, so painful.
"And our Nine-State Saint, overturned the era of Innate Spirit Roots and opened the era of postnatal Spiritual Roots."
"The postnatal Spiritual Roots he established were mindless Three Flowers, they wouldn’t possess us."
"After all, how could the weeds and goosegrass we plant everywhere have consciousness? So, we who plant postnatal Spiritual Roots are real humans! Maintaining our self."
"We only thought his greatness lay in opening an era where mortals can cultivate, overthrowing the immortal’s dynasty, yet unaware of where Nine-State’s true greatness lies."
"The real truth is, he overthrew the dynasty of the ’non-human’ and established the greatest dynasty in human history ruled by the human race."
"He changed the era of humans being enslaved and parasitized."
"As a mortal without Spiritual Roots, he, full of fierce passion and strong belief, gathered a group of companions and roared against the lofty immortals."
"Back then, the Human Ancestor similarly gathered companions, unable to defeat the greatest pseudo-human Human God, but his generation finally completed this heavy mission."
"A fully independent and autonomous human race period, no longer suffering, where everyone can live freely and joyfully on this land of Nine-States."
Reflecting now.
The Human God’s puppetry was clearly a means of controlling the human race!
Why did he want control?
Because he feared that their slaves—the human race—mere tools for parasitic laying, might someday rebel!
So, he filled the human body with puppet threads.
In this light, if the Human God had won before, he would have re-ended this era of the human race, welcoming back the era of pseudo-humans!
Returning to the Innate Mythology era of the human race.
Thinking of this, everyone felt even more horrified.
"The Human God, he was very calculating, if he had won, he’d return to the slave era," someone said with a bitter smile.
Now looking back, the Xu Huan incident and the Human God incident... were all underlined by the main theme of pseudo-humans in the background; the abuse in the Xu Huan case was due to the human race’s hatred of pseudo-humans, the Human God case was the Human God’s attempt to restore the pseudo-human era.
"And now, with the return of the pseudo-human calamity, what should we do?" someone said solemnly.
"To deal with the pseudo-humans and save the world, it starts with me."
Everyone knew the greatness and tragedy of that group of founding heroes of the Jiushui Dynasty were far heavier than imagined.
"Brothers, begin the battle against the pseudo-humans attacking, the beast tide has arrived!" In the Fish Wine City meeting room, everyone began discussing strategies.
