The Stigmata Maidens Birthed All Humanity; Collective Ascension Begins, Honkai Is Completely Finished!
As a God King, he knew all too well how difficult the path from mortal to Deity was.
This "Stigmata" seems to offer an unbelievable shortcut!
"It looks so tempting..."
On Tianzhu Island, Zhou Weiqing licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement and greed.
"If I had one of these, wouldn't that be..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
This power is an irresistible poison for anyone who desires strength.
[If all of humanity possessed Stigmata, humanity would collectively ascend.]
Ascending to heaven together!
These four words, like thunderclaps of creation, exploded in everyone's minds!
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
How much effort and how many life-or-death trials did he endure to lead the Shrek Seven Devils and his loved ones to ascend to the Divine Realm?
Even so, there were only a handful of people.
And the ultimate goal of this plan is... all of humanity!
How magnificent!
How magnificent!
How utterly impractical!
"A collective ascension... it sounds like the most beautiful dream."
In Qincheng, Ye Yinzhu held his guqin and sighed softly.
He was willing to sacrifice himself to save the continent, but he also understood that saving and ascending to immortality were two different concepts.
This vision, which would elevate all of humanity to a new level, transcends the realm of heroes and borders on that of Creation God.
"Dreams are usually destined to shatter."
Beside him, God of Death A'Dai (Mandun), spoke coldly. Having witnessed too much death and disillusionment, he harbored the deepest skepticism towards such a beautiful vision.
"The more beautiful the promise, the crueler the hidden price."
The Light Screen seemed to confirm his words; the scene shifted, and the Timeline returned to the end of what was known as the "Previous Civilization."
[At the end of the Previous Civilization, MI created the "Stigmata Core Flame" and implanted it into tens of thousands of young girls.]
The screen showed rows of silent girls with vacant eyes.
They were so young, their faces still bearing the innocence of childhood, yet they carried the last hope of a civilization.
In those eyes, there was no future, only the mission bestowed upon them.
"No..."
Ning Rongrong instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.
She couldn't imagine how heavy and cruel it was to place the survival of an entire civilization on the shoulders of tens of thousands of girls her age.
"They are... containers?"
Xiao Xiao's voice trembled slightly.
"No, they are the Core Flame."
Tang Ya's face was pale. She had been controlled by Evil Soul Master and knew the pain of being powerless.
"It is the Core Flame that continues civilization, but the Core Flame itself must first burn itself in the darkness."
They became the "ancestors" of New Era Humanity.
!!!!!!
These words struck like a thunderbolt from the heavens, hitting everyone on the head!
Everyone's brain completely shut down at that moment.
Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, three people from different eras, all had the same expression on their faces at this moment.
Shock, bewilderment, and then a profound sense of horror that shattered my worldview!
"Ancestor... ancestor?"
Huo Yuhao's voice was extremely dry. He turned to look at Tang San, then at Tang Wulin beside him, as if trying to find a trace of denial on their faces.
However, no.
The same terror was written on everyone's face.
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Even the Dragon God, the former Supreme God King, could not maintain his eternal majesty at this moment.
His dragon eyes were filled with shock.
If the "New Era Humanity" mentioned in this review refer to more than just the humans of that world...
if...
The thought was so terrifying that he dared not dwell on it any longer.
"Our... ancestors?"
Bei Bei muttered to himself, looking at Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Xiao Xiao beside him; each of them had lost all color in their faces.
They always believed that they were beings that had evolved naturally, descendants of the Douluo Star that had reproduced normally over billions of years.
But now, a Light Screen from Other World tells them...
Your ancestors may have been artificially created.
There may be a "Core Flame" flowing in your blood, designed to fight against the apocalypse!
This completely overturned their perception of their own identity!
"So... that's how it is?"
Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly. She had always considered herself the ruler of Lord of Soul Beasts and viewed humans as newcomers, or even invaders.
But what if the origin of humankind itself was a great migration and transformation undertaken for "survival"...?
What about the ten-thousand-year-long struggle between Soul Beast and humans?
A sense of sorrow and absurdity, originating from the depths of her blood, instantly overwhelmed her.
[However, the Stigmata Genes is dispersed in the genetic sequence, requiring artificial intervention to activate recombination in modern times.]
The last line was like a cold key, unlocking Pandora's box.
It not only explains the current situation, but also points to an incredibly terrifying future.
Discrete Genes...
Human intervention is required...
This means that each of these so-called "descendants" may have a time bomb called "Stigmata" lurking in their body!
It usually remains silent and indistinguishable from ordinary Genes.
But once activated through some form of "human intervention"...
Who will become the "new species"?
Who will be considered a failure of evolution and "eliminated"?
Nobody knows.
Behind Tang San, the Eight Spider Lances opened uncontrollably in an instant, and the mark of the Sea God Trident on his forehead flickered.
The Divine Power within him surged wildly, and an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him.
This sense of crisis does not come from external enemies, but from within ourselves!
It stems from a fundamental upheaval of the identity of "human"!
His gaze swept over everyone present, from Deity to mortals, from humans to Soul Beast.
At that moment, everyone seemed to become transparent.
Their bloodline, their past, their future—all were laid bare in these few lines, exposed to an unknown judgment.
"If... this is true..."
Tang Wulin looked down at his hands, where golden Dragon Scale were faintly visible.
His Golden Dragon King Bloodline was Curse set up by the God King to take revenge on the Tang Family, and he spent his whole life fighting against this bloodline.
But now, he discovers that the bloodline of all humanity may originate from a far grander, and far more tragic, plan.
The Shackles he wears are perhaps just a microcosm of the Shackles on all of humanity.
Suddenly, the image on the Light Screen changed again.
It is no longer cold words, but a blurry image.
In the video, a huge instrument, resembling Tree of Life, is in operation, with countless green light spots flying out of the instrument and merging into one petri dish after another.
As the camera zooms in, you can clearly see that the petri dish contains curled-up, undeveloped human embryos.
