Chapter 983 977: Foreseeable Crisis (Part 1)
"I see, so you're saying that the world on the other side of the rift is a Cultivator's world."
Upon hearing Qin Yang's explanation, Elder Qiao's eyes narrowed. The drastic changes on Earth in the past few months had greatly enhanced his acceptance ability.
Moreover, driven by curiosity, humans naturally have a strong ability to accept novel things.
"Indeed."
Qin Yang nodded, his eyes shining with a peculiar light. Mentioning that world made the blood within him boil a bit.
"Qin Yang, you must be... a Cultivator too, right?"
Elder Qiao's eyes scrutinized Qin Yang. After hesitating for a moment, he voiced the question that had been lingering deep in his heart.
"Correct."
Qin Yang nodded, openly admitting it. He no longer intended to hide these matters; in a few days, the entire Huaxia would know.
Even though it was anticipated, hearing Qin Yang personally admit it made Elder Qiao's eyes flicker slightly, and then he fell silent.
A moment later, his aged eyes flashed with deep seriousness and concern. He raised his head to look at Qin Yang.
"Qin Yang, are the people from the Immortal Cultivation World all very powerful?"
Elder Qiao's eyes were full of worry.
"Not necessarily, the Cultivator's world has mortals and Cultivators; those mortals have physiques slightly stronger than Earth's people.
But those Cultivators are indeed very powerful. Cultivators draw Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth, comprehending the Natural Laws, granting them incredibly strong abilities. As you've seen in the video footage, once one's strength reaches a certain level, they possess such god-like power."
Qin Yang explained.
After hearing Qin Yang's words, Elder Qiao's expression grew heavier.
"Qin Yang, I came late at night to ask the most crucial question: Is there a possibility that people from the Immortal Cultivation World might invade Earth, posing any harm to humanity?"
Elder Qiao's old eyes fixed on Qin Yang, questioning.
Upon hearing Elder Qiao's question, Qin Yang was already prepared.
"I can only say, there is a great possibility!"
Qin Yang's eyes locked onto Elder Qiao, his expression solemn, speaking word by word.
This matter must be warned early, to avoid being caught off guard later.
Upon hearing this, Elder Qiao's face turned paler.
"In the Cultivator's world, there are multiple factions. If those prestigious sects discover Earth, they likely wouldn't engage in mass slaughter but might see us as a source for their sect disciples.
After all, Earth lacks many cultivation resources, not worth the slaughter. Moreover, if someone from Earth joins those prestigious sects, humanity's safety might be better assured, and this would be the best scenario."
Qin Yang's eyes slightly tightened, first describing the best-case scenario.
"However, if Cultivators specializing in Ghost Dao, Blood Dao, Evil Dao, Demonic Cultivation or a particular sect are the first to enter the Earth Plane, the situation will be bad."
Qin Yang's expression tightened, speaking.
He was well aware of the 'might is right' nature of the Immortal Cultivation World.
"What would happen then?"
Elder Qiao's face changed, instantly growing tense.
"Ghost Cultivators, Blood Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, Demonic Cultivators and others follow extremely sinister paths, far more malevolent than the orthodox Immortal Cultivation Methods. Although Earth lacks cultivation resources, humans are the best resource; mortal blood, flesh, and souls are useful to them. They can kill a large number of mortals to refine their Magical Artifacts or enhance their Cultivation."
Qin Yang's face was grave, speaking solemnly.
In the Cultivator's world, mass slaughter of mortals is forbidden; those who do so face pursuit by numerous Cultivators. However, cases of such slaughters do still occur.
Killing is forbidden on Earth as well, but murder cases happen, it's similar.
"Those Ghost Cultivators, Blood Cultivators, you mentioned, could they possibly slaughter all humanity globally?"
Elder Qiao swallowed slightly, speaking.
"In the Immortal Cultivation World, slaughtering mortals is forbidden, but for discovered Native Worlds, there are fewer prohibitions and restrictions, and rarely does anyone stand up for those native world people."
Qin Yang's eyes tightened, speaking gravely.
"Not to mention that in the eyes of Cultivators, Earth humans are considered natives; even among Earth's nations, Western countries, when entering Africa, treated African natives or Native American natives as less than human, invading their lands, did they treat them as humans? They slaughtered them or sold them as slaves."
Qin Yang looked at Elder Qiao, speaking frankly.
Not only Elder Qiao but also Nangong Feiyang, Li Xinyan, Zilan, and Bi Luoyue's expressions changed.
Although it sounds cruel, what Qin Yang said is precisely the truth. We live in relative comfort now, so it sounds shocking and cruel, though it indeed happened two to three hundred years ago.
"Thus, those Ghost Cultivators, Blood Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, those who can enhance their Magical Artifacts' power or elevate their Cultivation using mortal souls or flesh, may act without hesitation and won't see us as ordinary mortals from their world."
Qin Yang said solemnly, with a more intense tone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Elder Qiao's face turned several shades paler, his eyes reflecting a deep concern.
He understood that Qin Yang spoke the truth, for even among Earth people, there's conflict and strife because of interests.
If a higher civilization invades Earth, and Earth's lifeforms can enhance their Magical Artifacts or their strength, faced with such circumstances, there'd be no mercy.
"Phew."
After a while, Elder Qiao exhaled deeply, his aged face growing more serious, for he too had witnessed many worldly events and was wise and firm-minded.
If such a situation were to truly occur, his current worry is futile; what must be done is to face and resolve it, to find ways to prevent such situations from happening as much as possible.
"Qin Yang, based on your estimation, when might people from that world invade Earth next?"
Elder Qiao looked at Qin Yang, asking seriously.
After all, one person and one giant beast had already entered Earth before, and the timing of the next invasion is what Elder Qiao is most concerned about now.
"It's hard to say."
With that, Qin Yang's eyes tightened, shaking his head.
"Currently, that Space Channel is unstable. Strong individuals below the Immortal King Realm face great danger entering, with little chance of survival. Immortal King Realm experts are significant figures, usually residing in sects or in seclusion. The previous occurrence was already rare, so according to my estimation, there may not be Cultivators entering Earth in the coming months."
Qin Yang gazed into the desolate eastern night sky, speaking slowly.
