776 -9: Humanity Will Never Be Enslaved
Tang Xian’s emotions were quite complex.
He had indeed thought in the past that the greatest significance of his parents was probably that they had brought him out of the seat of God.
Afterwards, going to the mining area might have just been an evasion of the Order’s influence.
Later, there emerged too many flaws in this thought, and even later… he gradually discovered that the key to everything lay with his parents.
These were not just two ordinary passersby; now the outline of history had already been pieced together, almost all of the puzzle pieces had been placed in their proper positions, except for one—the actions his parents had taken toward him back then.
Tang Xian continued to read the contents of the stele, while Tang remained quietly by his side, remaining vigilant and guarding Tang Xian.
Tang Wen’s level of social niceties clearly wasn’t that great either.
Many of the contents left in the stele, this part was meant to obtain Tang Xian’s forgiveness, but it seemed that the father’s pride was upheld, as if his ability to express love for his son was only marginally stronger than Tang’s conversational skills, so the lower half of this stele only had a few short sentences—
“I should have treated you well.
In this regard, A Yao had more talent than me.
My calculations were wrong; human emotions can’t be calculated.
Whether you have humanity, whether you have talents, there’s no conflict.”
“Besides, the inability to calculate human emotions is also reflected elsewhere, like affinity.
A Yao once said that a person’s liking for another person can surpass the maximum value of innate talent.
Maybe in the future, you will meet someone whose affection for you surpasses the limits.
I…
haven’t met such a person, but I believe in A Yao.”
“Overall, I’m not a good father, but I don’t have time to correct myself.
But since you have come here, it means you have entered the final battle stage. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
I will tell you some of the things I know.”
Tang Xian smiled.
Xiuxiu really did take after their father.
He recorded these inscriptions, thinking of sharing them with his sister once he returned.
Then, Tang Xian walked to the second stele.
This stele introduced many creatures of the deep sea.
Some creatures Tang Xian had heard of, but only by name, such as the series of big fish eating little fish nesting doll process he had experienced during his first deep sea excursion, many of the creatures involved were unknown to Tang Xian.
Including the Sea Giant, including the Sith Giant Squid.
Tang Xian had heard of these creatures, and touching them in the Sea of Knowledge would also yield feedback, but he knew nothing of their abilities or habits.
Yet the stele had records of them all.
The work done by Tang Wen looked more like that of a walking researcher, recording everything he encountered, and these contents, whether for the Order or humankind, had never been possessed before.
Take for instance those harmless looking elite creatures he had just seen, called the Sea Coward Beast.
Very timid.
They are suspected to be a milder creature split from the crystallization of the Sea God, used for cleaning the heart chamber.
Tang Xian thought, is this name something you came up with yourself, Dad?
This level is quite similar to mine.
And then he realized… this place wasn’t just any crucible, but rather the location where the Sea God stored its heart?
But that didn’t make sense, did it?
How large could the heart of the Sea God be?
Indeed, this place was vast, but for the Sea God, the size of a heart should be like a small continent, right?
It wasn’t strange for Tang Xian to have such doubts.
If the second largest creature in the world was like a toothpick, then the gap between it and the largest creature, the Sea Demon, would probably be like the difference between a toothpick and a spiked club.
One is unnoticeable.
The other takes one step to reach the stomach, and even saying it takes one step to the stomach seems too conservative; it’s like being stabbed in the heart, or losing one’s mind.
In any case, the Sea God had a huge difference in size compared to the second largest.
Tang Wen seemed to know Tang Xian would have such doubts, and said:
“The Sea God has about four hundred hearts; many have already died, retaining only the most critical ones, which are the hearts of inheritance, such as the heart below the Dragon Palace here.
In fact, there is another living heart, but to confuse the Beasts’ Court, that heart is hidden inside the shell of Cleveland.
The wisdom of the Sea God is not comparable to that of the other Beast Gods; all it could do was to make Kelifulan a bait.
Maybe by the time you arrived here, that giant Sea Turtle had already died, right?”
Four hundred?
If it is one in four hundred, that would seem reasonable.
Tang Xian was sure that his father had been to other places, even to where the Beast Gods fell, otherwise how could he have come to know all these things?
But what he didn’t know was that he, or rather Tang Wen, was actually standing on the shoulders of giants.
Tang Wen had not held back any secrets; all were recorded on the stele.
Tang Xian quickly finished reading and took note of this stele about deep-sea creatures, and then started on the third stele.
It was there that he finally understood how the entire history was really like, and that the struggle between humans and the Order was far more heroic than he had imagined.
“Now let’s talk about serious matters.
You must be wondering, how did you come by your Eden inheritance?
Why are your abilities not like those of the beasts, which rely on experience to familiarize and adapt incrementally but are like talents given by the Order, existing with various data?”
“All of this, if we were to delve into it, is an incredibly long story.
I don’t have so much time and still have to hurry to other places, so I can only make a long story short as much as possible.”
“It all starts with the last human in the world, a man named Jing Jian.”
