Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 278 - 12: The Truth of History_3

Tang Xian froze.

The words of the Zhenhai Canglong instantly overturned his understanding.

"Are you saying... humans cannot survive in the mine area for seven days, not because the mine area rejects humans?"

"Of course, there are many weak species in this world that haven’t evolved Soul Crystals, but they can still survive."

"Then what is the real reason that humans can’t stay in the mine area for seven days?"

"Because humans are low-level creatures created by the Orderers!"

Tang Xian recalled the previous conversation he had with Bai Mansheng and Qing JiuYu about why humans couldn’t stay for seven days—

Neither woman knew. Zhenhai Canglong didn’t know either.

Tang Xian frowned, starting to think seriously.

"Humans have nothing to do with the Orderers. Before the Great Catastrophe, humans knew nothing of the mine world; it was only after the Pyramid that, under the guidance of the Pyramid’s hierarchical information, humans began to reclaim the mine area. Of course, this was also for survival resources.

Almost every element necessary for survival could be obtained through the transformation of various minerals in the mine area."

"Humans once saw the mine area as a new world, a new home where they could live. As long as one could survive in the mine area for a long time, it would inevitably lead to a break from the Pyramid’s sway."

"But due to the terror of the mine area creatures and the seven-day limitation, humans have been unable to reconcile with this world."

It was like a light suddenly flashed through Tang Xian’s mind.

Zhenhai Canglong didn’t speak; it simply silently watched its new master muttering to himself. Discover stories with novelbuddy

Tang Xian said:

"I see... So it’s not the mine area that’s rejecting us... but a method left by the Orderers that’s rejecting us?"

As he began to think in this direction, he suddenly found that many problems could be explained.

"The Orderers can’t enter the mine area, so they can only use humans to continuously weaken it.

"And humans wanting to find a new homeland for survival, if this were achieved, it would mean escaping from the control of the Pyramid.

So, in order not to let humans escape from the Pyramid, the Orderers endowed humans with a new genetic code—talents."

Tang Xian suddenly froze; he had just let his mind race toward an extreme assumption.

But when he came back to his senses, he was shocked by his own thought.

His breathing became slightly rapid, and after quite some time, Tang Xian calmed down and continued his hypothesis.

"The Stele says that talents are a vision granted by the Orderers to humans. Perhaps it’s exactly this bit of Orderer genetic code that prevents humans from livingsustainingly in the mine area."

"But not everyone can activate this sequence... The people at the bottom have no talents; they are all forsaken... Maybe it’s because their genes reject the Orderers’ genes."

"From childhood, we undergo many checks, injections of various resistance drugs; maybe the genetic modification starts at that time."

Cold sweat covered Tang Xian’s forehead.

"The people at the bottom, maybe they are the ones who can truly live in the mine area, but because of the Pyramid’s talent-based system that determines the value of life, they can only toil at the edge of the mine area."

"Come nightfall... they are forcibly expelled from the mine area, so no one can truly verify."

"Plus, the talentless ones have difficulty surviving in the non-green zones of the mine area... so has this grand deception gone undiscovered for hundreds of years?"

Tang Xian understood that all his deductions were speculative, but his expression was grim.

He seldom looked so compassionate, especially about something without evidence. All this stemmed from deductions based on the seven-day rule.

But at this moment, he couldn’t avoid the thought—

Perhaps, in both worlds, humans are the most pitiable characters.

After a long while, Tang Xian shook his head and said:

"I need to confirm some things. This will require you to take me away from these seas, back to the mainland in the north, and I may even go to the world of the Orderers. Some things I must verify for myself; once these matters are settled, I will grant you your freedom and will never harm you or your kin. Do we have a deal?"

"At your command!"

Upon hearing Tang Xian’s conditions, Zhenhai Canglong respectfully bowed its dragon head.

"Then let’s prepare to set out. We start for home today."
