"Why do they call us the abandoned people?" This was a question that both Ren Baqian and the empress were very concerned about.
Anyone who heard such a term would be concerned.
Furthermore, the term "abandoned people" wasn't just used by the herdsmen, but by other races as well.
This inevitably made them think of something bad.
Ren Baqian responded softly but didn't speak. Instead, he organized his words, grabbed the empress's hand, and placed it on his chest. He felt the touch of her palm and slowly said, "That herdsman didn't say much.
"That Herder didn't say much, but he did say one thing. You people didn't live here all this time. You were exiled, or rather, driven here."
As soon as Ren Baqian said this, the empress's body tensed up. Her hand also became stiff, and a cold aura circulated around her.
As he spoke, he recalled what the herdsman had said at that time.
"The human race is filled with all kinds of deep-rooted bad habits. They are greedy and have no sense of propriety, ignorant and can't remember lessons, always making the same mistakes over and over again, always demanding more resources, full of lies, hypocrisy, and hypocrisy. They like to keep promises and are good at betrayal, forsaking righteousness for the sake of profit, and provoking wars but being unable to bear the consequences. They are a collection of all kinds of contradictions and bad habits."
Ren Baqian didn't know if this was the herdsman's own understanding of the human race or the understanding of some other races. As such, he didn't say this out loud.
Furthermore, he didn't agree with the herdsman.
Humans had all kinds of shortcomings, and this was undeniable.
However, they also had all kinds of strengths and all kinds of beautiful things, such as feelings, creativity, and wisdom. These weren't things that a cold and emotionless race like the herdsmen could understand.
He didn't know what had happened, but according to his understanding, the human race was actually driven here. In that case, there were only two possibilities.
One was that they lost the war.
This was also in line with the saying that provoking wars but being unable to bear the consequences.
The second possibility was that they were fighting for survival space.
After all, the reproductive and learning abilities of humans had always been very amazing.
Apart from this, Ren Baqian couldn't think of the possibility of the entire human race being expelled.
The empress's body was very tense. Ren Baqian could feel her anger, but she didn't flare up. After a while, she calmed down and asked, "Who expelled them?"
"They said that there were thousands of races. I don't know if that's really the case, but there are definitely many races. Although the other party didn't say it, if my guess was correct, there was another vast world on the other side of the Sixty Thousand Mountains. The Herders were in charge of ensuring that the humans did not cross the border. As for those foreign races, it's very likely that they have the same goal. It's just that too much time has passed, and they've lost contact with their own races and forgotten their own responsibilities. "
"This is a very long history, so long that even the non-humankind, who lived much longer than the humankind, forgot their responsibilities, and even forgot their home."
At this point, Ren Baqian suddenly laughed and said, "I also know something that will definitely be beyond your expectations."
"What?" The empress turned to look at him.
"The aboriginals, Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation are all humans and belong to the same race," Ren Baqian asked.
The empress suddenly realized a problem.
The aboriginals were completely different from Great Xia and the Yun Nation. There was nothing to doubt about this previously.
Both sides considered each other as outsiders.
However, after receiving news about the foreign races, the aboriginals and the other nations became part of the human race.
All of a sudden, the enemy became one of their own, and the empress couldn't wrap her head around it.
"The aboriginals are guardians …" Ren Baqian's words made the empress feel dizzy, as if her head had been hit by a rock.
People like her, who were regarded as barbarians, were guardians?
Ren Baqian's words made the empress want to laugh.
However, she couldn't bring herself to laugh.
Instead, she felt a deep sorrow in her heart.
According to what Ren Baqian said, the humans were driven here, and the most powerful aboriginals stayed in the Sixty Thousand Mountains to act as a barrier, competing with the beasts for survival generation after generation.
As for the other humans, they established their own civilization in the north and regarded the aboriginals as barbarians, an uncivilized race that was bullied by the Hao Nation.
This was simply too ridiculous, so ridiculous that it made people want to cry.
"Is this true?" The empress suppressed her emotions and asked in a low voice.
No matter who heard this, they wouldn't be able to calm down.
"Part of it is what he said, and the other part is what I guessed based on what he said. The probability is very high," Ren Baqian said.
Even he felt that this fact was very sad.
"At that time, the human race should have been divided into two directions. One was the aboriginals, who relied on their inherited bloodlines and had strong bodies. The other was like those people, who followed the path of the spirit, "Ren Baqian added. Simply put, they were physical and qi cultivators.
"In that case, why didn't anyone know about this? Even if a long time had passed, it would be impossible for nothing to be left behind, right? "the empress raised her head and looked straight into Ren Baqian's eyes.
She didn't know whether she should trust Ren Baqian's words or not at this moment.
"Because of a contract. The reason why the various races didn't exterminate the humans back then was that the humans still had the strength to fight to the death, which would cause considerable damage to the other races. The other races didn't want the humans to kill them again, so they forced the remaining experts of the human race to sign a contract.
The humans would forget all information related to this matter and wouldn't use any means to record it down.
This contract applied to all humans.
In this way, when the first few generations died, this matter would be buried in history forever.
Of course, it might not be completely buried in history, and there might be some clues left behind. "
"That's why the late emperor suddenly disappeared and led the army to the depths of the Sixty Thousand Mountains?" The empress thought of this possibility and felt that it made sense. The late emperor must have known something, which was why he suddenly made such a move.
Ren Baqian nodded.
This should be the case.
This was really a huge harvest.
Ren Baqian wanted to find out more about what happened back then.
Although they had signed a contract, with the wisdom of humans, they would definitely be able to find a way to avoid it.
Since there weren't any written records for so many years, and the late emperor suddenly left after reaching Longevity Heaven, this matter could be deduced.
This period of history that no one knew about could only be accessed by those who had reached Longevity Heaven.
In other words, those foreign races were quite powerful.
Only those who had reached Longevity Heaven were qualified to access this period of history. This was also to prevent the human race from rashly returning when they weren't strong enough.
However, the casualties of the human experts back then were too heavy. As a result, they came here to recuperate for an unknown period of time. Not only did the strength of the human race not improve, but it even regressed. Even the number of experts at Longevity Heaven was decreasing.
Ren Baqian guessed that it might be because the environment of this area was different from that of that area, just like how the concentration of spiritual energy was different in novels. As a result, this place was used as a place to exile humans, and the number of human experts was decreasing.
It was also because of this that the late emperor didn't leave any words and only led a group of brave warriors to search for this period of history.
If it weren't for this coincidence and the herdsman's belief that he would definitely win, he didn't know when he would be able to access this lost period of history.
Perhaps the empress would only find out when she broke through to Longevity Heaven.
Perhaps she wouldn't even find out when she reached that level.
"In the belly of Mount Liucui!" The empress seemed to have thought of something.
Ren Baqian nodded and said, "I think so too."
Back then, the late emperor entered the belly of Mount Liucui and had a great battle with the beings there. After returning, he disappeared not long after.
The greatest possibility was that the late emperor learned something from there.
"Your Majesty, now that you know this, what are you going to do?" Ren Baqian asked with yearning.
It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but after knowing about it, he yearned to know what kind of world it was on the other side of the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
The empress was overwhelmed with emotions, and her chest heaved up and down. After a long time, she said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I don't know!"
"All the facts show that humans don't have the strength to go back now," Ren Baqian said slowly. Not to mention anything else, they might not even be able to get out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains. Logistical supplies alone couldn't do it.
Ren Baqian didn't know where the late emperor had gone with those people and whether they had walked out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
Even if they did, what about the other races? There were still other races eyeing them covetously. If they found out that the humans who were driven away back then had returned, how would they react?
Ren Baqian didn't think that they would forget this period of history.
Then, he changed his tone and said, "However, in a few decades, we might be able to fill the sky with satellites and fly back!
This will surely give those foreign races a surprise. "
Ren Baqian really wanted to see the expressions of those foreign races when they saw the humans flying back with fighter jets, bombers, helicopters, and reconnaissance planes.
The premise was that the other party didn't have a godlike expert.
However, thinking about the contract that the other party forced the humans to sign, which could restrict all humans, was a very powerful force.
Even though there weren't many humans left. There were only 100,000 of them in total.
Even so, for these 100,000 people to bury this period of history without any public records, in addition to the will of the human experts, there was also the power of the contract.
The other party must be stronger than he imagined.
