Chapter 454: 279: The End and Rebirth After Death
The conversation between the two continued for a while.
Mostly, Li Wuji recounted how he had traveled all over the place back then, piecing together the events that had transpired between the Homo sapiens and the Heavenly People.
“The Heavenly People who gained strength, imposed the pain they had once suffered tenfold and hundredfold upon Homo sapiens.”
“At that time, Homo sapiens were still in a stage of ignorance and could not fight against the Heavenly People who possessed the power of authority.”
“A massive number of Homo sapiens were slaughtered and tortured.”
“Just like the Heavenly People once were.”
“That period could be said to be the dark age of Homo sapiens.”
“But fortunately.”
“When the Heavenly People gained the mysterious being’s gift and great power, they seemed to have some limitations as well.”
“What limitations?”
Chen Sheng asked at the right time.
He had a gut feeling.
What Li Wuji was about to say might be the reason why humans had been able to defeat the Heavenly People time and time again over the long years.
“Although the Heavenly People are immortal.”
“It seems that they have lost their reproductive abilities.”
“In ancient books from various periods, there are descriptions of the Heavenly People’s appearance and abilities.”
“There are many overlapping parts in these documents.”
“The number of Heavenly People that appeared has not changed much.”
“Therefore, I infer that the Heavenly People lost their reproductive capabilities while receiving the gift.”
“This could also explain why early Homo sapiens were not wiped out.”
“Although the Heavenly People were strong, they might not have been able to completely kill the widely distributed and highly reproductive Homo sapiens so easily.”
“At the same time, the strength of the Heavenly People varied greatly, and not all of them had the same heart.”
At this point,
Li Wuji asked Chen Sheng.
“You know about Heavenly Person Cells, right?”
Upon hearing this,
Although Chen Sheng could not see,
he still subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the wooden house in his memory.
Of course, he knew about the Heavenly Person Cells.
Shen Ziming was once a carrier of Heavenly Person Cells.
But later, with the help of the Qi Jie Stone… wait a minute.
Chen Sheng’s expression changed slightly.
Yes.
How could he have forgotten the existence of the Qi Jie Stone?
The Qi Jie Stone could not only provide him with energy to upgrade his Eye of True View,
but also be used to erase Heavenly Person Cells.
Previously, during the battle with the Respected Elder, he had also mentioned that the Qi Jie Stone could be used to suppress the rejection reaction of the artificial Heavenly Person’s body.
Could it be…
Chen Sheng had a vague guess in his heart.
“Yes, Heavenly Person Cells, I’ve looked into them.”
But he didn’t immediately ask, instead nodding his head, as if responding to Li Wuji’s previous question.
“Some humans have Heavenly Person Cells in their bodies.”
“This is because a very small part of the Heavenly People’s Clan is inclined to live together with humans.”
“From the hunting of the Heavenly People by Homo sapiens to the Heavenly People gaining power, a long time had passed.”
“During this period, not all Homo sapiens’ groups chose to exterminate the Heavenly People.”
“Some Homo sapiens’ groups chose to shelter the Heavenly People and lived together with them, hunting and surviving.”
“The two sides gradually merged, no longer distinguishing between each other, and their bloodlines were no longer pure.”
“After gaining power, it was this part of the Heavenly People and their offspring who helped Homo sapiens resist other Heavenly People.”
At this point,
The movement of Li Wuji’s arm slowed down.
Having talked for a long time,
and given his original poor condition,
his face seemed to be somewhat weary.
“This is all the information about Heavenly People that I currently know.”
“Many of the contents differ greatly from the knowledge of the human community.”
“Moreover, there are many carriers of Heavenly Person Cells in the human community.”
“I am worried that leaking such information may cause some unnecessary trouble.”
“So…..”
Li Wuji did not finish his sentence.
But Chen Sheng understood his meaning.
“Don’t worry, I don’t have the free time to spread secrets around.”
Hearing this,
Li Wuji finally nodded his head with reassurance.
The old man’s expression looked increasingly weary.
Whether it was the disaster-stricken Kyoto or the Martial Arts Association that had lost a large number of people,
there were many things that required his guidance.
He could not be away for too long.
This time, he came back mainly to check on Chen Sheng’s physical condition, as well as to learn about the events that had occurred during Chen Sheng’s battle with the Respected Elder.
As for rest,
Li Wuji didn’t plan to, nor dared to rest.
His heart was also filled with a strong sense of urgency.
Although this temporary awakening of the Heavenly People seemed to be mainly due to the body created by the Respected Elder,
but that also showed one thing:
Those sleeping Heavenly People were no longer unresponsive to the outside world.
They were moving step by step from deep sleep towards awakening.
The arrival of that day wouldn’t be too far away, he feared.
According to Li Wuji’s own calculations,
it would be as short as half a month,
or as long as one month.
Then a group of Heavenly People would awaken.
Before that, he had far too many things to deal with.
Thinking of this,
Li Wuji once again raised his thin arm and gently drew on the blackboard.
“If there is nothing else, I will leave first.”
“There are many matters in Kyoto.”
As he spoke,
Li Wuji used his arm to prop himself up and slowly stood up from the ground.
Although he was mentally exhausted,
after sitting for a while, his physical strength had recovered somewhat.
Next,
He planned to return to Kyoto and continue dealing with some follow-up matters.
“I have one more thing.”
As Xiao Hei conveyed Li Wuji’s words,
Chen Sheng spoke up again.
He couldn’t help much with the matters in Kyoto.
