" Human Race, you can't do this! You can't do this! I am an elder of the Black Qilin Clan, possessing the power of the Black Qilin. I don't want to die! Spare my life!"
A mournful howl tore through the void, the Black Qilin's massive body trembled violently, its jet-black scales were already covered in cracks, and its once domineering eyes were now filled with endless fear and despair.
He unleashed the full power of his Black Qilin cultivation, condensing a dark claw powerful enough to tear apart stars. But the moment it touched the frail figure before him, it crumbled into nothingness, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
The Black Qilin was completely stunned, its mind blank.
He Vertical and Horizontal this star field for thousands of years and had never encountered such a bizarre thing. His proud power, which could sweep away all Black Qilin of the same level, could not even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes, let alone cause any damage.
What kind of monster is this Human Race before me? Is his body forged from a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, capable of Wushi the power of the top bloodlines of Myriad Races?
However, all the doubts, resentment, and pleas for mercy came to an abrupt end in the next second.
An invisible pressure descended from the sky. There were no earth-shattering phenomena or violent, rampant energy, but it directly crushed the Black Qilin's soul and body, leaving not even a sliver of a chance for reincarnation.
The world returned to its usual tranquility, as if the arrogant Black Qilin had never existed.
Ye Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without a speck of dust. He gazed in the direction where the Black Qilin had vanished, his tone calm and undisturbed, devoid of any emotion. "Is this your reason for slaughtering the Human Race back then? Just because the Human Race was weak, you could trample on them at will and exterminate them? In your eyes, weakness is the original sin?"
His face was indifferent, his eyes as deep as an ancient, cold pool, showing no anger or pity whatsoever, as if he had just killed nothing more than an insignificant ant.
A soft sigh--
Just then, an old and heavy sigh suddenly came from the void, piercing through layers of space and echoing in this deathly silent world.
The next second, ripples appeared in the void, and an elderly man with white hair and dressed in a plain Daoist robe slowly walked out.
His hair and beard were all white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he did not exude any fluctuations of cultivation, but he carried a heavy aura of having experienced countless ages. His gaze fell on Ye Changge, full of helplessness and solemnity.
"Young friend, the events of that year were far more complex than you think, and certainly not a matter of Myriad Races targeting Human Race without provocation," the old man said slowly, his voice filled with endless sighs.
Ye Changge's lips curled into a faint smile, but his eyes grew increasingly cold. "Not what I think? Could it be that the scene of Human Race being slaughtered by Myriad Races back then, with corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood, was a hundred times more tragic than my slaughter of my Myriad Races now?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression grew even heavier. He closed his eyes as if recalling that unbearable past. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with pain and solemnity. He slowly recounted the secret that had been buried by the years. "Back then, your third Human Race Emperor, with the well-being of all people in his heart and a willingness to venture into the unknown, personally led the most elite army of the Human Race to explore a forbidden tomb deep in the star field that had been passed down for thousands of years."
But no one could have foreseen the immense terror hidden within that great tomb. The Human Emperor entered and was brutally attacked by a strange entity, later becoming infected. His body was covered in eerie blue leaves, his soul was devoured, and he was transformed into an Indestructible monster, a being that knew only slaughter.
"The entire Human Race army that followed the Human Emperor on his expedition was slaughtered by him, with not a single survivor."
Not only that, the top experts of Myriad Races who went to investigate after hearing the news also perished one after another in that great tomb, with countless geniuses and powerful figures falling, greatly weakening the strength of Myriad Races.
It was this catastrophe that led to the complete decline of Human Race, causing it to lose all its foundation.
"The terrifying power within that great tomb shattered the star field barrier, attracting an invasion from beyond the realms. The first Invincible Human Race, to protect all living beings, wielded a blood-stained battle blade, guarding the great tomb alone, fighting the invaders from beyond the realms to the bitter end, and finally died from exhaustion."
That battle was so devastating that the heavens and earth trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light. Human Race was utterly reduced from the pinnacle of power, revered by Myriad Races, to a weak and vulnerable group.
"As a result, Myriad Races harbored resentment, blaming all calamities on the Human Race's trespassing into the forbidden tomb, believing that the Human Race had brought annihilation upon the heavens."
Enraged, the fifth-generation leader of the Alliance of Myriad Races immediately ordered the massacre of Human Race, which led to that tragic period of bloodshed and tears for Human Race.
The Deep Space you are in now was forged by the third Human Emperor before he became a monster, when he desperately unleashed all his power to forcibly cleave a star field, shielding the heavens from some of the terrifying power.
The old man recounted that ancient, long-forgotten story word by word, his aura fluctuating, clearly revealing that his inner world was far from the calm he appeared to be.
Ye Changge stood there, and upon hearing these words, his previously calm face finally showed signs of emotion, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He traveled through countless worlds and witnessed the tragic scene of Human Race being oppressed and slaughtered by Myriad Races. However, he never knew that behind the tragedy of that year lay such a shocking past. He also never imagined that the third-generation Human Emperor and the first-generation Invincible of the Human Race would pay such a terrible price for the sake of All Under Heaven beings.
But this shock lasted only a moment before being replaced by a deeper chill.
Ye Changge raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a sword, staring directly at the white-haired old man, his tone unwavering. "The grudges and affections of the past, no matter how tragic, are long gone."
I was born into this world, and I cannot concern myself with the rights and wrongs of the past. All I see is that in the myriad realms of the present, Myriad Races still wantonly oppress and slaughter Human Race. Countless Human Race territories have been invaded, and countless Human Race people have been enslaved and killed. In many great worlds, Human Race has long since disappeared.
"The atrocities you committed back then continue to this day. Since Myriad Races have never ceased their persecution of Human Race, then my slaughter of Myriad Races is simply a matter of course, a perfectly normal thing to do."
After saying that, Ye Changge revealed a gentle, harmless smile on his face, his eyebrows relaxed, seemingly without any murderous intent. However, that smile made the white-haired old man's hair stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine.
The old man was completely stunned. He had thought that recounting the past would make Ye Changge give up his murderous intent, but he did not expect that the other party's mind would be so resolute and unwavering.
"Young friend, there is always room for maneuver. Do you really intend to disregard everything, make enemies of all Myriad Races, and exterminate them all?" The old man's expression changed drastically, and his voice carried a hint of urgency. He could clearly sense that the seemingly gentle Human Race youth in front of him was already emanating a Heavenly Destruction- destroying killing intent, a terrifying aura capable of annihilating Myriad Races.
Ye Changge's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were icy cold. His tone was casual, yet carried an undeniable domineering air. " The Invincible cannot even last a single round in front of me."
Tell me, with my strength, why should I let you who oppress Human Race go? What reason do I have to be merciful to you?
That smile, seemingly gentle and warm, was, in the eyes of the white-haired old man, a death knell from the underworld. Every word and phrase struck his heart like a heavy hammer, plunging him into boundless despair.
