Why had the Wu Tribe failed to discover the abnormalities in the earth veins for ten thousand years?
If one analyzed it carefully, perhaps many explanations could be found. For instance, the Wu Tribe was innately deficient in Nascent Soul Power; they had no developed concept of "medicine"; they were not skilled at such formations; the underground earth veins of the Northern Continent were numerous and chaotic... and so on.
But after making several rounds through the Wu Tribe's settlements, Li Changshou found the true reason.
The Wu had accepted their fate.
When they discovered that there were too few newborn Wu Tribe members, they must have tried many methods. But after hitting wall after wall and failing to find the cause, they attributed it to Heaven's punishment—to Heaven and Earth no longer tolerating the Wu—and silently endured it.
The Wu Tribe had originally been the losers of the ancient era;
When Emperor Xuanyuan battled Chiyou, the Wu Tribe rashly chose a side and supported the Witch-Human tribes, exhausting the last of their providence. Their gradual extinction in the Northern Continent of Julu had become a fate they had already accepted...
That was the fundamental internal reason the Wu Tribe had never found the source of the problem.
When a race could not find its place upon the stage of the Primordial Wilderness and lost the drive to struggle onward, what awaited it was endless sinking after every setback.
Objectively speaking, the Demon Race members who still harbored thoughts of revival were clearly more spirited, and thus more vigorous.
Naturally, they were also more threatening to the human race.
If, one day, humanity also lost itself like this—if it no longer knew why it existed, or lost the destination it was striving toward—would it too be replaced by another race
