Fierce Child Lu had once seriously pondered a question: what was the meaning of the Inhumans' existence in this world? Yet after thinking for a long time, he found no answer.
Perhaps Inhumans were the lingering poison left behind by the previous era.
The theme of the previous era had been to obtain powerful strength and protect the continued existence of one's race. Any sacrifice made for that purpose could be understood.
But now, the Zhu Huo People had achieved final victory. The world was already under the rule of the Zhu Huo People. In other words, the Zhu Huo People no longer truly needed the Inhumans as a group.
Inhumans were merely remnants left over from the transition between the previous era and the new one. Having lost their meaning, they would ultimately vanish completely in the future.
Fierce Child Lu had set out alone on a journey, traveling to countless places and meeting many people. He had pondered for a long time, until, at the age of fifty, he came to understand many things.
The world was constantly changing. The Zhu Huo People were progressing as well. All manner of novel things had sprung up one after another throughout the world, allowing the Zhu Huo People to live better lives. Only the Inhumans' eight evolutionary Sequences remained exactly as they had been a thousand years ago, capable of nothing but slaughter and devouring.
In the ancient legends of the Prophet, there would one day be a person who brought disaster and change to the world.
As a Prophet, he had not understood what that meant at first. But after he figured out those questions, he suddenly comprehended the wisdom of his forebears.
He also came to understand that someone in this world had to become such a reformer.
