Hearing Lu An's question, Fu Yu smiled faintly. After all, she was a human, and it was normal for her to be more concerned about her own race.
"We humans have not been around for that long." Fu Yu said softly, "Just like the Dragons, their civilization has been around for 100 million years. If we include the history before that, there is no way to know how long it has been. But according to the books of other races, the earliest record of us humans appeared around 80 million years ago. "
"80 million years ago?" Lu An was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Wasn't it after the Dragons had their civilization?"
"Yes." Fu Yu nodded gently and said, "The Dragons ruled the world 90 million years ago, and after another 10 million years of development, there were already many races that had Class 9 beasts. The rules and strength of the entire world had basically taken shape and entered a stable state. At that time, the Dragons were the overlords of the world, and had large territories on the continent and in the sea. The Dragons' territories were divided among other races, and the Dragons did not interfere. But if any race dared to challenge the Dragons' position, the Dragons would definitely exterminate the race. "
"At that time, the continent was already divided by various powerful races, forming a fixed situation. The area that each powerful race occupied was very large, far beyond what they actually needed. This kind of area could not be managed with the strength of the race itself, so in order to maintain such a large territory, they would allow other weaker races to survive in their territory. Of course, these races would have to work for them and listen to their orders. "
Lu An was startled when he heard this, and asked, "Isn't that the same as a country?"
"In essence, there is indeed no difference." Fu Yu said, "The race with territory would regularly inspect the various races in the territory, and once there are signs of resistance, the race would be exterminated or expelled from the territory. Of course, such a situation is not stable, and there are often wars of seizing territory or rebelling. And us humans … were born in such an environment. "
Lu An's heart tightened, and he listened quietly.
"According to the records of other races, the appearance of us humans in the beginning was no different from that of the lowest races. Although in the earliest records, we are already in our current posture and behavior, but we are not the only race with hands and feet, and we are not the only race that can stand and walk. At that time, we didn't show too many differences. When we first appeared, there weren't many of us. We lived separately in small groups. "
"In the beginning, we didn't have civilization, so naturally, we couldn't cultivate. We were no different from ordinary animals now. Because without strength, we have no status. Heroes occupy one-third of the continent, and the remaining two-thirds are ownerless lands. In these ownerless lands, we can only become food for other races, and we can only rely on plants to maintain our lives. We rarely get to eat meat. "
"However, humans did not go extinct in such an environment. This is thanks to human fertility." Fu Yu said, "Although the fertility of humans is not the strongest among all the biological races, it is still above average. There are many deaths, but many more births. Although we are naturally weak and have no advantage over the other exotic beasts, our talents soon appeared. "
"What talent?" Lu An immediately asked.
"Wisdom." Fu Yu said softly, "We have more wisdom than other races."
Lu An's body shook. Hearing the history of his own race's development made him more excited than before.
"Because of our higher wisdom, the development of humans was greatly shortened compared to other races." Fu Yu said, "Of course, this is also thanks to the humans living in the territories of heroes. Although many humans were treated as food, some humans were treated as pets and entered the territories of other races. Although their status was low, they learned the civilization of other races at the fastest speed with their wisdom. "
"Soon, the talent of humans was discovered by many races, but they didn't care. They just thought it was a very interesting thing. Because although humans have a strong learning ability, their strength did not grow. But because of their wisdom, the status of humans rose a little. They gradually changed from food to pets, and from pets to messengers that helped communicate with other races. "
"In the process of becoming messengers, humans learned more about civilizations and promoted communication between different human races. But at that time, the races were not without vigilance. On the contrary, in order to prevent humans from becoming stronger, they strictly forbade humans from creating their own civilization. "
"…"
Lu An frowned and did not speak.
"Civilization is the best way to control any creature. It can destroy a race from the inside out without shedding a drop of blood. If you want to completely defeat a race, you don't need to kill the entire race. You only need to destroy their civilization and then teach them your own civilization. Then you can complete absolute rule. This is the truth that all the exotic beasts in the world have grasped in the past 20 million years. " Fu Yu said, "However, humans are also very clear about this truth. But most humans choose to maintain the status quo in order to live safely. But there are always some humans who are not willing to accept this and start to create their own civilization."
"…"
Lu An clenched his fists. Although he was still very quiet, the excitement in his heart could not be concealed.
"The process of human civilization was very cruel. According to the records, in the millions of years, there were at least 100,000 different civilizations. Among them, there were more than 100 civilizations that had formed a preliminary system and spread widely. But without exception, all of them were slaughtered by the exotic beasts. This was a real massacre. They put the corpses in front of other humans and used the corpses and blood as a warning. "
"In that period of history, humans were always in a process of being filled with hope and then falling into despair. Every time the hope of success was extinguished, it would be a major blow to the confidence of humans. But under such circumstances, one of the shortcomings of humans became an advantage, and that was their short lifespan. "
Lu An, whose heart was heavy, was stunned. He looked at Fu Yu in confusion.
"In such a harsh environment, the average lifespan of humans was no more than 50 years. Compared to other exotic beasts, it was much shorter. It was several times or even dozens of times shorter." Fu Yu said, "But because of this, the despair of a generation would soon disappear. The new generation of humans had not experienced the painful history and knew nothing about the threat of the exotic beasts. They would once again throw themselves into the cause of creating a civilization. Generation after generation, the rapid change of civilization. Although all of them failed, due to the lack of civilization and history, humans were always fearless. "
"Then … at this point in the millions of years, things finally changed."
When Lu An heard this, his body trembled!
"What change?" Lu An asked immediately.
"Among humans, a civilization appeared again." Fu Yu said softly, "But this time, the race that created the civilization was not in a hurry to spread their civilization. Instead, they only spread it among their own race." Fu Yu said, "They thought that once it spread widely, they would encounter the same result as before. After millions of years, they had not succeeded, so the probability of success was almost zero. So this race chose another path, which was to first use the civilization that they had already created and directly enter the process of using the civilization to find a path to cultivate. "
"It is impossible for a race to cultivate without a civilization. This is because the path to cultivation is very long. One generation or even several generations would not be able to complete it. They need to constantly accumulate experience, and this experience must be made into books in their own words and passed on to future generations."
"All along, all the exotic beasts thought that humans with weak bodies were not suitable for cultivation, so they were not vigilant about it. And this race summed up the way the exotic beasts produced power and found that it was basically related to special environments. Therefore, this race used a million years to personally travel to almost every territory on the entire continent. They also sailed to very distant seas, constantly changing locations in search of the source of power and the method of cultivation. They recorded all of it and analyzed it continuously. "
"So, under the unremitting efforts of this group of people … they finally succeeded. They successfully became the first human race to have a mature civilization, a cultivation method, and a powerful race. "
Fu Yu looked at the excited Lu An and said, "This race is Sengoku."
