In Li Yao's vision, the boiling blood turned into rancid pus, and the noble warriors turned into brutal butchers. The warriors who had fought for survival and glory sank into the abyss of insatiable greed. In the countless massacres and destruction, they wiped out the last ray of light in their hearts.
The universe was too vast and too dark. The Primitive Race had gone too far on their journey. Everyone had lost their direction, forgotten their origins, and did not know where their destination was.
Drowned in the blood of innocent people and eroded by too much radiation, they had mutated into something beyond recognition. They had completely forgotten the reason for the war. Driven by the killing instinct that they had decided on billions of years ago, they became slaves of their genes. They kept burning, killing, conquering, and destroying!
This process lasted for a very, very long time. The Primitive Race kept expanding and expanding to countless sub-universes in the universe that were similar to Pangu's universe.
According to the characteristics and rules of each sub-universe, as well as the great influence of the local natives, the Primitive Race also showed a myriad of different and splendid forms.
The spiritual energy in some sub-universes mainly showed the characteristics of "waves", and the spiritual energy in some sub-universes mainly showed the characteristics of "particles". How to make use of the different forms of spiritual energy with the highest efficiency determined the different evolutionary directions of the Primitive Race.
The spiritual energy in some sub-universes was purer and more violent. It was difficult for the various war machines to make use of it. Instead, it could be absorbed and released directly by the human body. In these sub-universes, a training system called "fighting spirit" was born, which gave rise to a series of dazzling fighting skills and fighting gods.
In some sub-universes, as Li Yao knew, the barrier between the three-dimensional space and the four-dimensional space was not firm, and they could easily absorb the power of the four-dimensional space. Therefore, a training system called "magic" was born. The spiritual cultivators fought with the supreme power of the four-dimensional storm.
Of course, there were also the Primitive Race who were firmly on the path of "science and technology". They called themselves the orthodox members of the Primitive Race.
In some remote sub-universes, the Primeval Race was good at taming alien races. They could turn alien beasts into their own mounts. They could even fuse with alien beasts and turn them into powerful biochemical warriors such as Beast God Soldiers or Dragon God Generals.
In the remote sub-universes where the emperor was far away, the Mass Extinction Order was not effectively implemented. People were performing "mental castration" on the alien species and the low-level civilizations according to the other approach that the voice mentioned, but their lives were kept.
The Primeval Race's conquest of the Universe Ocean was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Millions of years of conquest and the vast distance were enough for the Primeval Race to divide into hundreds and thousands of different political entities. Their power systems and even their appearances were all different. However, everyone admitted that they were part of the Primeval Race and that they all came from the same ancient blue planet — Earth.
After a long period of division and estrangement, the Primitive Races in all the sub-universes could not stay united forever. There was still some friction between them. However, when facing the alien races and the Primitive Civilization, they all had the same attitude, which was to conquer and destroy.
"Wait a moment —"
Li Yao had been feeling that something was stuck in his throat. At this moment, he finally threw out his confusion. "There's one thing that I can't figure out. According to the features of the sub-universes, the Primitive Civilization will develop different directions of evolution, social forms, and power systems. There will be 'Cultivation Universe', 'Magic Universe', 'Fighting Aura Universe', 'Machine Universe', 'Technology Universe', and so on. It's only natural and easy to understand.
"I believe that my ancestors, or you, came from a certain 'Cultivation Universe', didn't they?
"My question is, why do most residents of the 'Cultivation Universe' seem to have black hair and black eyes, while the 'Magic Universe' seems to have blonde hair and blue eyes? It doesn't make sense at all!
"After hundreds of thousands of years of conquest, the bloodline of the ancient Earth has been diluted to almost zero. The concept of race shouldn't still exist, right? Everybody abandoned the ancient concept of race and bloodline and lived together to give birth to a brand-new race. Maybe the 'Cultivation Universe' has a lot of residents with blonde hair and blue eyes, and the 'Magic Universe' has a lot of residents with black hair and black eyes. That makes sense. "
Faced with Li Yao's interrogation, the voice fell silent.
Perhaps it had never encountered such a problem before, even though it had been challenged by a hundred generations of testers, including Lu Qingchen and the mental devil.
"Or maybe …"
Li Yao's soul became even hotter and sharper because of the burning flames of shame and fury. "You have never forgotten the hatred on ancient Earth. Or rather, you once forgot the ancient hatred when you were struggling to survive in the same boat in the sea of stars. But as your strength expanded and you raised the butcher's knife against the carbon-based intelligent lives in the entire universe, you destroyed your own 'ability of trust', 'faith in kindness', and 'pursuit of justice' in the process of conquest and destruction. The more you conquered, the greedier you became, and the more you destroyed, the more scared you became. At first, you were scared of the counterattack of the low-level civilizations and the alien species in space. Then, you were scared of your own kind. No, for the black-haired and black-eyed members of the Primitive Civilization, were the blonde-haired and blue-eyed members of the Primitive Civilization really their own kind? On ancient Earth, in order to compete for living space, didn't everyone fight to the death and almost destroy each other's common home? Right now, although your home has expanded by billions of times, your ambitions have also expanded by billions of times. Who knows whether or not the 'Fourth World War' will be played out in an even crueler way in the boundless sea of stars?
"Those who are not of my kind are bound to be of a different mind. That's a good saying, but who is my 'kind', and who is the 'alien'? When all the alien species and the low-level civilizations have collapsed and become the unrepentant ghosts that are haunting the sabers of the Primitive Civilization, the greatest threat will be each other, won't it?
"How hilarious. I should've thought of such a simple logic just now. You used the fact that the wise men walked out of Africa and expanded to the entire Earth to justify the march and slaughter of the Primitive Civilization. But don't forget that even though human beings annihilated the mammoths, the saber-toothed tigers, and almost all the large ferocious animals, it did not usher in eternal peace. On the contrary, an even more dreadful enemy emerged from the corpses of the mammoths and the saber-toothed tigers, which were human beings themselves!
"The only thing that can destroy human beings is themselves. It's true even in the boundless space, isn't it?
"The black-haired and black-eyed Primitive Civilization is deeply wary of the blonde-haired and blue-eyed Primitive Civilization, and the blonde-haired and blue-eyed Primitive Civilization looks at the black-haired and blue-eyed Primitive Civilization with the sharpest eyes, too. Even if one of them has never thought of bringing up the old scores from the Earth era, who knows whether the other party will bring up the old scores again and reignite the flames of war? Getting to the bottom of it, the old scores from the Earth era, including the differences in appearance, are just excuses. You have long lost your way in the bloody march and become slaves to your instincts of killing. You have become the poor worms that are bound by the chain of suspicion!
"In the end, is what happened between different sub-universes really just a 'minor friction'? Or is it a 'civil war of the Primitive Civilization' that is ten times more intense than the War of Conquest?
"Do you still remember what you said at the very beginning? Most of the civilizations that were once prosperous were not destroyed by foreign invasions but by internal conflicts after they reached the limits of expansion. It was the same for the hundred generations of civilizations that lived in the Pangu universe. Was it not the same for the Primitive Civilization?
"Therefore, I boldly speculate that, after conquering most of the alien species and the low-level civilizations, the Primitive Civilization also split into hundreds of different forces and waged an extremely cruel civil war. It is very appropriate to call it 'World War IV'.
"The war completely destroyed the trust among you and raised your suspicion and wariness to the maximum, to the point that you could not tolerate the slightest difference. Countless screening and purges must've taken place during the war. All the guys who were 'not of my kind' must've been purged. The entire 'universe of Cultivators' only has black hair and black eyes, and the 'universe of magic' only has blonde hair and blue eyes. Tell me, is that so? Tell me! "
The voice was silent for a long time.
"It's not important."
It said with difficulty. It was obviously an answer that had not been given for billions of years.
"No, it's very important."
Li Yao smiled in the most sorrowful way. "If that's the case, the greatest enemy of the Primitive Civilization is the Primitive Civilization, and the greatest enemy of mankind is mankind. Then, what's the significance of the so-called Mass Extinction Order?
"On the other hand, I believe that such a cruel super civil war did exist. The civil war deeply severed the bonds between every sub-universe, turning the close comrades who were as close as brothers into strangers or even enemies again. Also, after a long time of fermenting, the so-called 'primeval civilization' existed only in name and evolved into countless unfamiliar and vigilant independent civilizations. Perhaps they still remember the story of Earth, the blue planet, but that is already an ancient legend and a groundless myth.
"In the end, when the 'Flood' really rose and lunged at you aggressively, the so-called 'Primitive Civilization' could no longer unite as an iron plate to fight the enemy together. They could only be swallowed by the Flood one after another. I'm even certain that, when a certain 'universe of magic' was swallowed by the Flood, the Primitive Civilization in the 'Cultivation Universe', which used to be its enemy, was still laughing and clapping their hands in delight when a certain 'universe of magic' was swallowed by the Flood!
