Chapter 3349: Annihilation of Saints
These were the oldest secrets of the trichiliocosm that could even trace back to the origins of the ten thousand races. However, when they were said by the black-robed man, they sounded extremely nonchalant, as though they were daily affairs.
The black-robed man said, “Humans are innately weak and have ordinary bloodlines and physiques. They don’t have the claws of ferocious beasts or the divine strength of the Dragon Elephant. When they were first created, they were ranked at the bottom of the ten thousand races and weren’t thought highly of.”
“However, the potential of the human race is endless. Although their starting point is low, their final achievements can often surpass the experts of the ten thousand races. As a result, at their peak, there were already 3,000 Human Saints.”
“Furthermore, there’s another characteristic of the human race. Since their bloodline doesn’t have any attributes, it means that they can synthesize perfectly with other races and create new races. The Flame race is one of them.”
“Among the ten thousand races, half of the races have human forms such as the God race, Thunder race and Extreme Yin race et cetera. If you trace their origins, they are half humans.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was shocked.
To think that this was the origin of these races!
In other words, back when the human race was at its peak in the major chiliocosm, apart from the 3,000 Saints, there were many other races related to the human race.
The human race deeply affected the evolution process of the living beings of the ten thousand races!
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “I heard that there were not many humans in the major chiliocosm back then. They were far from being spread all over the trichiliocosm like now.”
“That’s because the human race disappointed her.”
The black-robed man said, “She wanted to create a perfect race to change this cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak. She wanted all living beings to be equal. Even the weakest lifeforms should have the dignity to live.”
“As such, she augmented perfect qualities such as courage, integrity, kindness, pity, benevolence, tenacity, diligence, forgiveness and so on and so forth onto the human race.”
“However, she realized that she could not control these things at all.”
“Qualities such as cowardice, envy, pride, sloth and greed began to appear even on the first generation humans, let alone the descendants produced by continuous reproduction.”
“Most of the time, humans were no different from the ten thousand races. They still have seven emotions and six desires and the human heart is unpredictable. The world did not turn into a better place with them either as massacres and wars happened in the trichiliocosm daily.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.
The original intentions of this Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch were naturally good.
However, even after she cultivated to that point, she could not change the world and there were things she could not control.
“This Heavenly Dao Saint Thearch…”
After a long silence, the Martial Dao Prime Body asked hesitantly.
“She’s dead.”
As though he knew what the Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to ask, the black-robed man said softly.
His tone was calm and he was expressionless. His eyes were like an ancient well without any fluctuations.
However, beneath that calm expression, the Martial Dao Prime Body could sense a tremendous sadness!
In fact, that sadness even surpassed the sense of solitariness of the black-robed man!
The black-robed man said, “After she died, her flesh scattered on the ground of the trichiliocosm. Mixed with mud, she used her last bit of strength to evolve into millions of humans.”
For some unknown reason, when he heard that, the Martial Dao Prime Body felt as though his heart had been struck by something.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of the black-robed man or something else, he could not help but feel sad as well.
That was the reason why the number of humans increased exponentially after that huge turmoil.
After Saint Thearch Life created the human race, she experienced disappointment and hesitation.
However, at the last moment of her life, she still chose to continue evolving into humans.
Perhaps it was the sacrificial spirit of the 3,000 Saints who fought against the other Saints for the ten thousand races that made her believe—even though the appearance of the human race might not be able to change the world completely, it could still make the trichiliocosm a better place.
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked, “Is there no other way to resolve the Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings?”
According to the black-robed man, the Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings would still descend one day.
“Of course there is.”
The black-robed man said.
“What’s the way?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.
The black-robed man was silent.
“Do you think this world is fair?”
A moment later, the black-robed man did not reply. Instead, he asked a strange question.
Before the Martial Dao Prime Body could reply, the black-robed man said, “Some people are born rich and don’t have to worry about food and clothing, while others can only be poor and have a bumpy road.”
“Some are talented, some are slow and clumsy, some are born ugly and some are born beautiful.”
“Is this world… fair?”
The black-robed man asked.
The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly.
Would it only be fair if everyone was born equally stupid or smart?
Would it only be fair if everyone was born with the same appearance?
The things that the black-robed man said were not fair were all innate and couldn’t be changed.
However, even for one who was born rich, they might lose all their wealth. Even for someone who was born poor and a beggar, they might ascend to greatness.
“If you’re born as a mayfly, your lifespan is less than a day even if you hadn’t done any evil. Saints have their hands filled with the blood of others, but they can live forever.”
“Saints have endless lifespans to extend their bloodlines, ensuring their family clans have strong legacies. That allows them to monopolize more and more resources. For those that arrive later on, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to survive. However, they are powerless to change anything…”
“Is this world… fair?”
The black-robed man asked again.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.
The black-robed man asked again, “Are all living beings… equal?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body shook his head. “The vast grass is destined to be eaten by cows and sheep. As for cows and sheep, it’s inevitable that they’ll be hunted by tigers and leopards.”
“Not to mention these living beings, even among those of the same race, they are often divided into ranks according to their background and status. How can it be easy to ensure equality for all living beings?”
According to the black-robed man, the equality of all living beings was what Saint Thearch Life had once hoped for.
However, that was way too difficult to achieve.
“That’s right.”
The black-robed man said indifferently, “There are all sorts of unfairness in the world and all living beings are born unequal. However… the trichiliocosm should be fairer and all living beings should be equal.”
“What are you going to do?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked with a frown.
A cold glint flashed through the black-robed man’s eyes as he said slowly, “It doesn’t matter if you were born rich or poor. It doesn’t matter if you’re ugly or beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you’re smart or stupid. It doesn’t matter if you’re a mayfly or a Saint… Death is the one thing that no one can escape!”
“Only death is the greatest fairness and final equality!”
The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat!
He finally realized what the black-robed man wanted to do.
He finally understood what the black-robed man meant by resolving the Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings.
The annihilation of Saints!
Since the source of the Immeasurable Calamity of All Beings was the eternal life of the Saints, causing the power of the universe to be unbalanced, he would kill all the Saints!
Although Saints were powerful and looked down on all living beings insufferably, they were going to have to die like mayflies!
The black-robed man said coldly, “All living beings of the ten thousand races have to experience death and enter reincarnation.”
“Those who do good enter the upper three Daos, the Heavenly Dao, Human Dao and Asura Dao. Those who do evil shall enter the lesser three Daos, the Ghost Dao, Beast Dao and Hell Dao! Saints can’t be excluded. If Saints do evil, they shall have to enter the lesser three Daos and experience the pain of reincarnation as well!”
“The human heart is unfathomable, but god is watching. The Six Paths of Reincarnation shall be that god! Under the watch of the gods, who would dare to do evil?!”
