Chapter 452: 278: Conversation and Past World Events_2
Li Wuji’s question was very strange.
It seemed to have no necessary connection with the previous topic.
But when Xiao Hei conveyed the question.
Chen Sheng immediately sensed the hidden information in the question.
“Are you trying to say that the reason Heavenly People hate humans is because of something that happened in the past?”
“That’s right.”
Li Wuji nodded slowly.
“Although I am also a part of humanity, I am very clear about how cruel humans can be deep down.”
“Driven by desire, many humans can trample and hurt each other without any scruples.”
“Let alone, different races.”
“Our ancestors struggled in harsh environments for a long time.”
“But they didn’t give up, and they became stronger and stronger.”
“Over the long years, the ancestors of humanity climbed to the top of the food chain step by step.”
“The traces of Homo sapiens can be seen all over the planet.”
“They began to be dissatisfied with their current state.”
“So, the Heavenly People, who occupied the favorable environment, became the target of Homo sapiens.”
“The two races, though similar in appearance.”
“But just as humans do not see monkeys as their own kind.”
“Heavenly People, do not accept and welcome Homo sapiens.”
“And Homo sapiens did not see Heavenly People as humans.”
“And the result this time left no suspense.”
“Heavenly People, lost.”
“Facing a different race, the cruelty of Homo sapiens was unimaginable.”
“A large number of Heavenly People were hunted by Homo sapiens as beasts.”
“Their skulls were collected as trophies.”
“Their skin was cut off and used as carpets.”
“Even being used as food to satisfy their hunger.”
“Human tribes had gradually formed.”
“And the foundation of those tribes was built with Heavenly People’s fresh blood.”
At this point.
Li Wuji looked at Chen Sheng’s expression.
Seeing that he seemed to have some doubts.
He smiled slightly, answering first.
“You must be very curious, how did I know all this, right?”
“Once, like you, I was curious about the past between Heavenly People and Homo sapiens.”
“I even thought, could the two not coexist peacefully and must one side be destroyed?”
“So I began to seek, looking through many countries for ancient human patterns that had been unearthed.”
“These pieces of information were mostly very fragmented.”
“But coupled with the ancient books left by our ancestors, they were barely enough for me to piece together the beginning and end of the events.”
“Among them, the murals from two separate sites provided crucial information.”
“The first mural depicted the process of Homo sapiens hunting the Heavenly People.”
“Maybe due to long-term comfortable living conditions, the Heavenly People at that time had gradually developed a social system, and they valued the lives of their fellow tribesmen.”
“In those unenlightened times, that was a very rare thing.”
“And Homo sapiens took advantage of this.”
“Homo sapiens would impale the women or children of the Heavenly People’s clan into the ground, causing them to cry out in pain.”
“Hearing the cries of their fellow tribesmen, Heavenly People often tried to save them.”
“Then, they would be killed by a group of Homo sapiens with spears, either made into trophies or used as food.”
Listening to Li Wuji’s account, even Chen Sheng didn’t know what to say for a moment.
It was far from what he initially thought.
During this period of time.
Chen Sheng had guessed at the reason for the Heavenly People’s great malice towards humans countless times.
For example, Heavenly People considered themselves superior beings, unhappy with the lowly human beings hopping about on their planet.
Or perhaps,
Heavenly People wanted to gain a certain power, and humans were an obstacle to them.
Chen Sheng even suspected that they were just in a game world.
Humans were the monsters in this game.
And Heavenly People were the game players.
The so-called slumber was just because they went offline.
Chen Sheng never thought.
The reason Heavenly People hated humans and held great malice towards them.
It turned out that Heavenly People had experienced a catastrophe because of humans.
“So, what happened later?”
“How did the Heavenly People survive?”
“How did they turn into what they are now?”
“Where does their power come from?”
Chen Sheng was all ears.
What Li Wuji was about to say next was probably the key.
“This involves the second relic site I mentioned earlier.”
At this point.
Li Wuji seemed to have thought of something.
Fear flashed through the depths of his eyes.
It seemed that bringing up the second mural reminded him of something terrifying.
“The mural in that site all depict the same scene.”
“In a primitive forest, nearly dozens of Heavenly People gathered together, and outside the forest, many human figures approached them.”
“Their bodies were covered with wounds and blood.”
“Their faces were filled with endless hatred and anger.”
“They knelt before a divine statue, as if praying for something.”
“A divine statue?”
Chen Sheng looked puzzled and spoke again.
Li Wuji, however, seemed to already know what he wanted to ask.
The old man just shook his head slowly.
“Regarding this, I still don’t understand it even now.”
“By rights, at that time, neither Heavenly People nor Homo sapiens should have developed a belief system nor should have been able to carve such a lifelike statue.”
