The enemy and the self sharing the same origin was quite a subtle design, but reality was sometimes this direct. The cycle of avengers and victims created tangled causality.
After assessing it briefly, he reconstructed the most likely version of the story.
According to the Gravekeeper's records, the Ancient Giants were merely one link among countless eras. After losing their own age, if they had not been completely exterminated, they would naturally have chosen to leave.
And if the descendants of those Ancient Giants—or perhaps even the giants themselves—had recorded that history, they would naturally never be able to forget it.
Whether it was for revenge or simply nostalgia for this land, given the opportunity, they would surely try to return.
As for whether those extraterritorial invaders had been brought here by them, Lu PingAn found it difficult to say. In the vast multiverse, this world had remained hidden so well, yet it was now suddenly being besieged by numerous God Above Gods like an avalanche. One of them even bore a deep-seated hatred for it. Something was clearly off.
"So this is the day I live to see intelligent beings actually take revenge on a world—and even destroy it."
Yet what lay before Lu PingAn now was merely this intelligence itself, which seemed to have little practical value.
No one knew why the descendants of the giants had become such "mindless" creatures when the records clearly described them as ordinary intelligent beings.
On the other hand, the records also stated that every one of these giants had been a Martial Arts Master. Not only were they tremendously destructive, they could also use their fists and feet to summon elemental power.
"The records do match up. They eat people."
Chris's reminder made Lu PingAn freeze.
