777 -9: Humanity Will Never Be Enslaved_2
Tang Xian trembled…
Jing Jian?
Wasn’t that the person who left behind a manuscript and ultimately died alone in the old world?
He even left his corpse in the outskirts to feed the animals.
Tang Xian had certainly not expected that everything he had experienced was interconnected.
“When humanity stepped into the Pyramid, there were some like Jing Jian who thought all this was a conspiracy.
But as some people inside the Pyramid began to gain special abilities, those like Jing Jian became increasingly rare.
Although the environment might not be much better than the original world, once inside the Pyramid, there was no longer the fear of being attacked by beasts and Judgement Knights.
People called this a miracle because they could also gain powerful physiques.”
“But you can’t imagine…
Jing Jian actually had a child.
His wife was already pregnant when the judges dispatched the Judgement Knights and a large number of beasts for an attack.
Jing Jian indeed longed to remain in this world, but he also desired for his family to survive, so he convinced his wife to move into the Pyramid.”
“They were very much in love.
His wife, deep down, also understood her husband.
It was also for the sake of their child that she was willing to come to the Pyramid.
At that time, the fate of humanity, some people thought they had received the grace of God, while others were very miserable.”
“To mourn Jing Jian, his wife named their son Jing Jian as well.
Throughout her pregnancy, she often said that this world was false and that one must rebel against it and lead people out.”
Tang Xian felt his back tingle…
This scene was strikingly similar to his own mother…
the mother whose name he did not know.
Hadn’t he come into this world because his birth mother had said similar words, which made him begin to doubt this world and harbor rebellious thoughts against the Order?
Could it be that Jing Jian was actually related to him?
Suddenly, Tang Xian realized that perhaps this wasn’t a matter of one or two generations but that from the moment humans entered the Pyramid, the indomitable spirit had already begun to plan an escape that would span hundreds of years, a plan to escape the fishbowl.
Feeling immense turmoil inside, Tang Xian took a deep breath and continued reading.
“Jing Jian’s death gave birth to another Jing Jian, but his arrival was not smooth.
His mother was taken away to the Seat of God Fortress, to become a breeder for the first batch of children of Order, and everything began then.”
“Later, many children of Order with the same fate appeared.
Those with the finest genes, the strongest talents, were all abducted to serve as vessels for birthing the children of Order.
Or should we say, production tools?
In the eyes of the Order, these humans were actually machines, weren’t they?”
“After Jing Jian was born, he became the seventh child of Order.
There were already six before him, all of similar age, differing only by a few months.
But in the following years, Jing Jian suffered bullying until his abilities awoke and he became the strongest among the children of Order.
Only then did he free himself from this bullying, but his role was not as Constantine.
It was as Ju Mang.”
Tang Xian furrowed his brows upon reading this.
It seems necessary to give Ju Mang a human name, after all, this thing is the code name of a child of Order, which means there have been many Ju Mangs in history.
When the seven days are up, I’ll have Yuan Wu send a message back, telling Ju Mang to change her name to Tang.
She likes brains and she likes flowers, anyway.
Tang Xian continued to read.
“As a child of Order who could leave the Seat of God Fortress, coupled with the words his birth mother spoke before he was born, Jing Jian conceived the idea of resistance.
This thought quickly turned into a plan, which, over the ensuing hundreds of years to my generation, is still being carried out.”
“The life of Jing Jian was quite legendary.
After he grew up, around the age of twenty-two, he started to enter the mining area in order to escape Constantine’s surveillance. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
At the time when people hadn’t even developed the third level of the Pyramid, and there were no safety zones in the mining area, and they had just mastered the technology of teleportation rifts, he would stay there for six days at a time, and the moments of his emergence were always at the extreme limit.”
This… seemed so much like himself.
Tang Xian hadn’t expected that the man he saw in Baichuan City, and his descendants, would have such a thrilling experience.
“It was also because of his years in the mining area that Jing Jian finally had his miraculous encounter.
He was the first person to have gone to the ruins of Eden, the first to have seen the Lord of Eden.
That earliest of civilizations actually bore no ill will towards humanity, but this didn’t mean that the Eden Tribe were good people.
They were arrogantly presumptuous, believing themselves to be gods, capable of opening Pandora’s Box and remaining unharmed.
This arrogance led the Eden Tribe to create powerful mechanical creatures, which were later named Orderers by the Judge.”
“Could the omnipotent God create a creature stronger than himself?
This seems to be the answer to that proposition.
The Eden Tribe, the mining area, was nearly dominated by their creation of perfect and powerful mechanical life.
That world faced the same destruction as our old lands, a battle that came to be known as Twilight of the Gods.”
“And Jing Jian was the first person to enter the sacred land of Eden after the Twilight of the Gods.
It was there that he learned the ins and outs of the experiences of these two worlds.
At the same time, he realized how arrogant this civilization was; they did not reflect on their mistakes.
This race, which proclaimed itself to be divine, believed that since they could create the Orderers, they could also destroy them.
They were unwilling to admit that they had lost control of everything because, although the Orderers might be nearly perfect, they were ultimately defeated by the six Beast Gods.”
“The legacy of the Beast Gods was key to defeating the Orderers.
The Orderers aspired to become human, to have a soul, but they didn’t know that once they truly did so, they could no longer receive the Beast God legacy.
Whether it was mechanical turning into human or human into mechanical, neither could withstand the huge impact brought by the legacy of apocalyptic-level creatures.”
Tang Xian was confused—if that was the case… then why could he?
Could it be… that their plan, enacted over hundreds of years, was culminated in himself?
Full of doubts, Tang Xian continued reading the stele:
“Only creatures that are of the Beast Gods, possessing red crystals, and endowed with extreme vitality and creativity, are capable of withstanding the huge shock brought by the Beast God legacy.
But unfortunately, creatures like that no longer exist in this world, aside from the Judge of the Court of All Beasts.”
“The Lord of Eden told Jing Jian that they had designed a method that would allow humans to possess the power of Eden, a heart capable of receiving the Beast God legacy!
Once they had this heart, even if their combat numerical abilities were weak, they would still be of the level of the Beast Gods.
If they came under the scrutiny of a Judgement Knight, they would be rated as a red entity.”
“But this heart was not easily obtained.
According to Jing Jian, after the Lord of Eden delivered the design blueprint, it entered a state of deep hibernation.
It did not die but grew younger by one year every so often, and finally… it turned into an infant.”
An infant?
Tang Xian suddenly remembered a dream he had, in which his father took him to a place that seemed to be the junction of several worlds.
There, he had also seen an infant.
“The Lord of Eden will never truly die, but the injuries it suffered were so severe that it had no choice but to regress to its weakest form in order to preserve its life.
Just like the Sea God retained its heart, and just like a Beast God on the outskirts of Baichuan City continuously reverts its body back to the moment before death with time.
These Beast Gods, they are truly the most magnificent beings.
The Twilight of the Gods ultimately only brought dusk, not eternal night.”
“The Lord of Eden and Jing Jian then made a covenant.
Jing Jian began researching the design of the Heart of Eden, and only when that blueprint became a reality would he return to the ruins of Eden, to exchange for the power that could change human destiny!”
By reading this far, Tang Xian pretty much understood that this so-called Heart of Eden was inside him.
Today’s events weren’t the result of a whim, nor were they due to various coincidences.
The path of confronting the Orderers and the Court of All Beasts… before him, countless generations had walked it.
In the end, the heart of humanity—
had never surrendered.
