"The Blood Stripe Virus stimulated the brains of the ancient apes and gave them the basic intelligence. Then, after tens of thousands of years of guidance, they taught them the techniques to absorb and utilize spiritual energy!
"The Titan Warriors, on the other hand, became the best body and arm for the Blood Stripe Virus. They could establish the ideal civilization of the Blood Stripe Virus.
"Other than attaching themselves to animals, the Blood Stripe Virus could also attach itself to plants and microbes. Through certain special plants and microbes, the Blood Stripe Virus could modify the shape of rocks and transform them into 'eggs of apocalypse'.
"After being modified by plants and microbes, the eggs of apocalypse will automatically grow roots that will penetrate thousands of meters below the ground and absorb resources from the mother lodes below the ground. Countless vesicles will be formed inside the eggs, which will be used to modify lives and transform common spiritual beasts into apocalyptic beasts!
"For the Blood Stripe Virus, the apocalyptic beasts were like cattle that they were herding!
"When a batch of 'cattle' was mature, all the apocalyptic beasts would be released through the outbreak of an egg of apocalypse, and the Titan Warriors would be driven to fight the apocalyptic beasts!
"Such battles would not only allow the Blood Stripe Virus to obtain the most precious resources from the underground world.
"More importantly, the endless slaughter between the Titan Warriors and the apocalyptic beasts will instil immense fighting will and killing intent in the future!
"Such 'killing intent' was exactly what the Blood Stripe Virus needed for its survival!
"The Blood Stripe Virus was a very weird life form. As a parasite that boasted immense mental power, they did not have a high demand for materials. Instead, they considered the killing intent as their 'food'!
"The Blood Stripe Virus needed killing intent, just like human beings needed air, food, and water. Without killing, destruction, and death, the Blood Stripe Virus would wither, dry up, and eventually perish!
"Therefore, the fiercer the battle between the Titan Warriors and the apocalyptic beasts was, the more lives would be lost. The Blood Stripe Virus would absorb more fighting will, killing intent, and destruction, and grow stronger and happier!
"This was the reason why the Titan Warriors were so bloodthirsty and aggressive!
"The symbiotic relationship between the Blood Stripe Virus and the Titan Warriors lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and swept across countless Sectors. In their heyday, they were far more powerful than the Star Ocean Imperium!
"However, one day hundreds of millions of years ago, their world suffered a devastating blow!"
"Countless Sectors perished instantly. Neither the Blood Stripe Virus nor the Titan Warriors had the ability to fight back. The few survivors of the Blood Stripe Virus could only board their starships. It's those odd-shaped meteorites that fled in panic! "
"The Blood Stripe Virus can survive in space for a long time, and it does not require many resources. However, the journey to the stars is a long one, and we cannot find a new species that can provide 'killing intent' for the time being.
"The surviving Blood Stripe Virus realized that they would wither very soon. They could only seal the essence and heritage of their entire species with secret techniques and disperse them into different meteoroids in a certain 'hibernation state'. They fled to every corner of the sea of stars, hoping to find another world suitable for survival and a life form suitable for parasitism! "
"I don't know much about the other Blood Stripe Virus. I only know that one branch of the Blood Stripe Virus discovered the Flying Star Sector and the civilization of mankind after drifting in the sea of stars for billions of years!
"As a result, the Blood Mark Inheritance that had been in hibernation was awakened!"
"That. Was what happened five thousand years ago. "
The qi-trainers finally connected it to the apocalypse of the Flying Star Sector five thousand years ago. They were all dumbfounded and exclaimed in shock.
Yan Xibei said calmly, "Everything that happened next. As you all know, the meteoroids that contained the heritage of the Blood Stripe Virus rushed into the Flying Star Sector and almost destroyed Iron Plateau. Their purpose was to build Iron Plateau into a suitable environment for the Blood Stripe Virus and turn human beings into their puppets, a second 'Titan Warriors'!
"However. The 'possession' between civilizations is not something that can be done overnight. "
"In the symbiotic relationship that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, while the Titan Warriors were modified into the best puppets, the Blood Stripe Virus had some evolutions in order to live better inside the bodies of the Titan Warriors, too.
"Human beings five thousand years ago were in fact not very suitable to be puppets of the Blood Stripe Virus. The problem was that human beings were too intelligent. It was very possible that we would be swallowed by human beings instead of parasitism, just like what happened to me.
"Therefore, the Blood Stripe Virus has been consuming our resources through the outbreak of the eggs of apocalypse and gradually modifying our bodies without us knowing it.
"In the meantime, we unleashed infinite fighting will in the slaughters, which allowed the Blood Stripe Virus that had just woken up from 'hibernation' to recover some of their strength.
"The level of our civilization was getting lower and lower, but our killing skills were getting better and better. Our bodies were getting stronger and stronger, too. We became bloodthirsty, bellicose, and barbaric … Everything was developing in the direction that the Blood Stripe Virus hoped for!
"Today, we have finally reached the most critical turning point.
"We have basically used up the most fundamental resources to maintain a civilization. From now on, we can only rely on our fleshly bodies and the most primitive fighting instincts. One day, we will become the best puppets of the new Titan Warriors and the Blood Stripe Virus!"
Yan Xibei was silent for one minute after finishing his speech.
During the one minute, the only sound that could be heard was the desolate wind blowing on the desert. Nobody said anything.
Many quick-witted people had already described the general picture of the apocalypse from Yan Xibei's brief description. They were all shocked by the dark and cold picture.
Even the most courageous warriors found it hard to breathe and couldn't help but tremble.
"Little Bear, I wonder how you felt when you found out the truth of 'civilization possession' for the first time."
Yan Xibei's eyes were rolling. There was even a hint of fear in them. He mumbled, "When I pieced together the truth bit by bit from the legacy of the Blood Stripe Virus after several years, the first feeling I had was fear. Boundless fear!
"This universe is too vast, too cold, and too dark!"
"Human beings claim to be the strongest fighting species in the sea of stars. We have defeated countless alien species in our conquest of the three thousand Sectors, too!
"Demolish mountains and temples, slay demons and devils, expand our territory, and conquer alien species … How awe-inspiring and dominating we are!
"However, we are still frogs at the bottom of a well in this tiny universe!
"Deep inside the legacy of the Blood Stripe Virus, countless flickering pictures were hidden. In those pictures, I saw a boundless universe and countless alien species, too.
"Some of the alien species were as unpredictable as extraterrestrial devils, but they could absorb the lives of thousands of creatures instantly.
"Some of the alien species, although they were made of flesh and blood, could survive and fight in a vacuum as if nothing was wrong. They even fed on the meteoroids directly!
"Some of the alien species were like lifeless soil and rocks, but they boasted the most mysterious techniques, too!
"Those alien species were like the gods and devils in the legends. Even in the heyday of the Star Ocean Imperium, human beings might not have been able to compete with them!
"At that time, I felt like I was a water snake that had been living in a pond for a very long time, only to suddenly discover a vast ocean that was full of ferocious animals such as sharks and dragons right next to it!
"The desperation when the whole world is exploding in front of you is almost indescribable.
"However, I was never a man who would be defeated by desperation.
"When the desperation and fear gradually calmed down, I immediately began to consider the path ahead. The entire civilization of mankind and the entire universe were too big a topic for me to solve. But at the very least, I had to change the fate of Iron Plateau and rescue my people and descendants from the miserable future of being blood slaves!
"During that year, how to make the Iron Plateau natives stronger, how to prevent the tragedies that would eventually happen in the thousands of years to come … The unrealistic but urgent questions haunted my soul and almost suffocated me."
"My compatriots and clansmen, on the other hand, knew nothing about them.
"They were like a bunch of people who were born blind marching to a cliff in an army. Very soon, they would fall off the cliff and be smashed into pieces.
"I, on the other hand, was one of the members of the army of blind people. But all of a sudden, I regained my eyesight and saw the brightness as well as the cliff in front of me!
"However, I couldn't shout or change anything because the army was too large, and the place where we stood was too narrow. A random shout might cause everybody to fall from the two sides and be smashed into pieces, too! “
"We have no choice but to continue forward until we reach the end of our destruction!"
"I struggled in the pain and desperation for a year. There were many times when I thought of telling everybody my guess, but what could I possibly do even if I did? Without resources, we would be unable to resist the outbreak of the eggs of apocalypse. When the towns and cities were destroyed, and our civilization collapsed, we would still end up as barbarians on the Dark Continent and slaves of the Blood Stripe Virus!
"However, in the midst of such desperation, I gradually discovered that my body had undergone unexpected changes!
"After swallowing the foreign blood, my own blood, nerves, and flesh gradually changed. Not only was my capability gradually recovered, my perception and control of spiritual energy were greatly improved, too. Also, I vaguely gained the ability to modify animals and communicate with the eggs of apocalypse!
"After many attempts, I finally confirmed that after swallowing the Blood Stripe Virus, I had combined the strength of human beings and the Blood Stripe Virus and achieved a brand-new evolution!
"This discovery made me wild with joy, and also allowed me to comprehend the path ahead of me!"
"In this universe, the strong prey on the weak. Tigers eat humans, and humans eat tigers, too!
