Chapter 429 - 15: The World Where the Creator Never Descended
"Ao Xing, have you ever thought that maybe it’s not us who are strange, but you yourself?"
Only after finally shaking off the entanglement of the Keren Race did the silent Dragon of Suffering suddenly ask this.
This was a massive sea trench.
A place seemingly formed by the violent clash of ocean and continent, resulting in seawater flooding in.
The surging waves relentlessly battered the trench, with sounds like the wailing of lost souls echoing through the sky.
Even the well-traveled Ao Xing couldn’t help but feel a shiver from the heart when witnessing this trench.
However, more than the emotional turmoil, what shocked Ao Xing now was the faint sense of familiarity from deep within.
"Strange... is me?"
Eyes widened in disbelief.
Ao Xing, unable to control his emotions any longer, let the faint electric light dance and flicker across his scales.
Because he had recognized this massive trench.
In his former Mountain and Sea Realm, this immense trench was also known as "Tang Valley."
It’s said to be the place where the sun rises, one of the rare convergence points of continent, sky, and sea in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
So the question arises, why does this Dark World also have a "Tang Valley" identical to the Mountain and Sea Realm?
"Yes, from the beginning, it’s you who were strange."
"What Creator, what Winged Serpent God, those things have never appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"If your existence didn’t indeed prove certain things, I would almost suspect you are a newly mutated individual evolved by the Fallen Dragons."
When mentioning the word "Fallen Dragon," a rare seriousness and scrutiny flashed across the Dragon of Suffering’s expression.
"Fallen Dragon? What is that?"
Feeling like his mind was about to explode, Ao Xing instinctively asked.
"It seems you truly know nothing!"
Sighing gently, a trace of realization flashed in the eyes of the Dragon of Suffering.
"The parallel space-time theory recorded by the Ancestor Dragons was never a false fantasy."
.........................................................
This Dark World is the Mountain and Sea Realm, yet not the Mountain and Sea Realm known to Ao Xing.
This is a parallel world of the Mountain and Sea Realm, a worldline the Creator never descended upon.
In this world, Dragon Ancestor Zhu Jiuyin did not find Li Hao, who possessed an Immortal Body, in the Fallen Area, but instead, watched helplessly as he walked towards death amidst endless struggle and roars.
When Zhu Jiuyin completely perished, the light of the sun and the moon extinguished, respectively falling into the oceans of the extreme west and east.
Since then, this parallel world has plunged into eternal darkness.
One day, when the light of the sun and moon completely dissipates, this world will no longer possess even that faint glimmer.
From this perspective, the parallel space-time’s Mountain and Sea Realm clearly no longer retains the possibility of nurturing life.
However, those who once lived in this world were the legendary Mountain and Sea Dragon Race.
Despite Dragon Ancestor Zhu Jiuyin dispersing the majority of the Mountain and Sea Gods before the world’s demise, sending them with their followers to other worlds to seek a glimmer of life.
But the departure of these Mountain and Sea Dragon Race members couldn’t take everything they once had in this world.
The fallen Sky City, the extensive roads, and the research institutes hidden in various secret corners...
These are the legacies left by the Mountain and Sea Dragon Race in the Mountain and Sea Realm, proof of their once existence in this world.
Not to mention the city buildings.
Hidden within ancient relics all around the Mountain and Sea Realm are all sorts of chaotic and dangerous things.
In Ao Xing’s original world, Storm Apostle Ji Meng and Saintly Divine Being Yayu were dangerous figures once sealed by the Mountain and Sea Dragon Race.
In this parallel space-time without Li Hao, they exist as well.
No one knows the original origin of the Mountain and Sea Dragon Race’s research, nor what that origin experienced.
The only certainty is that with the sun and moon’s fall, the world’s light disappeared.
A form of life not being "life" was nurtured in the infinite darkness, giving rise to a special inorganic lifeform.
These beings possess a truly Immortal Body, no means can completely kill them.
On the contrary, the more dangerous and darker the environment, the more it can stimulate their internal potential, compressing their evolutionary history of billions of years into merely hundreds of years.
Thus, the first "dragons" were born under these circumstances.
They inherited the name of the Mountain and Sea Dragon Race, yet in essence embarked on a path entirely opposite to the Mountain and Sea Dragon Race.
Abandoning wisdom, abandoning civilization, reverting to the most primitive instinctual activities of life, purely living for the sake of survival.
For these dragons, they have no gender, and naturally, no disputes or desires.
Similarly, they gave up taste, smell, and touch, thus lost the ability to perceive with nerves.
Their understanding of the world comes from the most primitive instincts, yet they possess astonishing abilities for regeneration and fusion, enabling them to prey on other surviving lifeforms in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
It must be understood that any life that can survive in today’s Mountain and Sea Realm cannot be without aggression.
Unfortunately, what these creatures encountered were the purest dragons.
Their aggression in front of the dragons could almost be said to be worthless.
Rather, it was this intense aggression of these creatures that stimulated the dragons to evolve a terrifying ability—neuroinhibitor.
In the dragons’ simple understanding, to stop those lives that were both hunters and prey from resisting, the easiest method is to make them like themselves, devoid of desires and wants.
The terrifying dragons distributed the neuroinhibitor into the air, forcibly halting the evolutionary trend of all creatures with nervous systems.
From Ao Xing’s perspective, this is evidently a kind of ecosystem-level neurotoxin.
Any creature inhaling this neuroinhibitor will have its central nervous system and brain rapidly degenerate.
Without a nervous system or central brain, these creatures naturally became new lifeforms devoid of wants and desires, without any desire or pain.
They accepted the dragons’ assimilation, building the dragons’ tribe, becoming a new species capable of adapting to the dark era.
The original dragons evolved at this moment into the original Keren Race.
They are not organisms in the conventional sense, but are the very fabric of the Dark World’s ecosystem.
These Keren Race members abandoned all possibilities of nurturing wisdom and developing civilization, surviving fiercely in the most primitive and unenlightened way.
