Chapter 100 Future Interstellar Dragon Aotian

With just a little thought, Mu Lingnan could guess that there were many connections behind this. Although she was very shocked, she restrained her curiosity and did not ask any further questions.

Olya sat at her desk, her icy eyes looking even more indifferent. She spoke calmly, "Regarding the curse, I still want to ask, do you really know nothing about it?"

Mu Lingnan shook her head. In all these years, she had never heard even a single word about a curse.

Olya was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Then your family... must love you very much."

She continued slowly, "It's rare. I've rarely seen pure-blood people accept a mixed-blood child so well. I...my birth was an accident. My mother and father didn't want children at first."

"My mother is human, and mermaid children need a very strong water element to grow, so she had a hard time. Although she accidentally became pregnant with me, she was still... willing to give birth to me."

"But later... I don't blame them. They did love me, but they couldn't overcome their fear of the half-merman Kuroo. At least, in the end, they waited until I had fully grown my claws and fangs and could hunt and feed myself before releasing me from the cage into the ocean."

Olya was already grateful that her parents had brought her into the world and not killed her. At least she knew that her parents had expected her.

Later, after many twists and turns and wanderings, Olya accidentally met Samuel, and then met many kind people.

Olya met Mu Lingnan's gaze and smiled beautifully at her: "It's okay, I have a family who loves me very much now."

"I'm sorry, I went a little too far." Olya wiped the corners of her eyes, and the crystal tears turned into white pearls that rolled to the ground the moment they fell.

"It's okay." Mu Lingnan shook her head slowly. She was willing to be Olya's listener. Some things hidden deep in her heart were willing to be spoken out by her master, which meant that they would soon pass. She was happy for Olya.

Olya calmed down and her tone returned to its usual calm.

"Actually, over the years, have you ever thought about this question? Why are mixed-bloods, a group that can simultaneously incorporate the advantages of both races, so suppressed by pure-bloods?"

Olya's question was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in Mu Lingnan's heart.

Mu Lingnan unconsciously clenched her hands on her knees, as if a flash of inspiration broke through the fog, and she finally realized the only logical flaw in the fabricated paradise she had lived in for so many years.

Yes, as a hybrid of the elves and the celestials, she inherited the talents of both the elves and the celestials. This is the best proof.

While purebloods do have exceptionally gifted individuals, compared to the advantages of mixed-bloods, these are nothing compared to the rare talents. However, the vast majority of mixed-bloods inherit the racial advantages of both parents, and even exceptional geniuses are possible. Given this vast population base, it would be abnormal for purebloods to dominate the mainstream.

In the face of absolute strength brought by absolute talent, what does traditional ignorant discrimination count for? In this world, only strength will not let you down, and the strong are enough to rewrite everything.

Mu Lingnan closed her eyes. How could she have forgotten such simple knowledge? Had she forgotten all the knowledge she had acquired in her previous life for over ten years?

She thought for a moment and said calmly, "If that's the case, then mixed-bloods must have a fatal flaw that prevents them from ascending to the stage of power."

"You're right. No matter how strong a half-blood is, even if they break through the Saint level and transform into a mortal body, they can't escape the curse of longevity."

Speaking of the end of life, everyone will feel fear. This is the instinct of longing for life engraved in the soul of all living beings, and Olya is no exception.

But this fear, which once haunted her, could no longer defeat her. For the sake of everyone's future, she was ready to face death head-on. Olya's eyes were firm and powerful:

"Currently, no half-blood has ever lived past the age of thirty. So, I don't have much time left."

“Is it a genetic problem?”

Olya:

Mu Lingnan's reaction was completely beyond Olivia's expectations. She frowned and thought hard, muttering to herself:

"Could it be that mixed-bloods are born with some kind of genetic defect?"

She thought of the mules and lion-tigers in her previous life. Cross-racial reproductive isolation would make the next generation infertile. There was also a high probability that they would be weak, underdeveloped, have low immunity, and often not live as long as their parents.

Although as far as she knew, interstellar hybrids could still give birth to offspring, it was unanimous that their lifespans were greatly reduced. She felt that this was most likely a genetic problem.

Olya waited patiently for Mu Lingnan to finish thinking and come back to his senses before asking curiously, "Genes, what are those?"

Is it some new technology or magic that she doesn't know about?

Mu Lingnan then realized that due to historical reasons, the interstellar world had deviated from the technological tree, and research on genetics was almost zero. Moreover, even if there was a discovery in the future, in this world, it might not be called genes.

In addition, there is magic in this world, and there may be other reasons for short life. She cannot be too arbitrary.

Mu Lingnan smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Well, it's just a term that suddenly came to my mind. It might not be relevant. By the way, what about the curse?"

Olya tilted her head, not wanting to delve into it. She asked doubtfully, "You know about the Fallen, but don't you know why they are called Fallen?"

Hey

Mu Lingnan's eyes widened as she asked, "The fallen species, isn't it because they were severely corrupted by black magic?"

The expression of Olya in front of her told her everything.

Mu Lingnan was silent. This made her feel even more uncomfortable and unbelievable than the previous news, because all this knowledge was told to her by Cecil.

This means that Cecil had deceived her, and he might even be hiding many more things from her.

Mu Lingnan was a little sad. Theoretically, Cecil might be protecting her, but emotionally, she couldn't help but feel that they had grown up together, but Cecil still refused to believe her. He was always used to carrying things alone.

She suppressed the soreness in her eyes and said to Olya, "I'm sorry, but, Olya, please continue."

Olya could see that something was wrong with Mu Lingnan's expression, but she was young after all, and it was her first time encountering such a situation. She didn't know what to do, so she had to follow Mu Lingnan's wishes and continue:

"Well, actually, Fallen... although they're more common among mixed-bloods, they can also appear among pure-bloods, though the probability is far lower. Once you become a Fallen, your magical talent will skyrocket, and you'll advance very quickly. Along with this, crimson magic patterns will gradually grow on your body."

Olya slowly pulled up her shirt, and Mu Lingnan realized that Olya's waist and abdomen were already covered with circles of ominous dark patterns.

"This kind of demonic pattern is extremely painful and itchy when it strikes, penetrating deep into the bone marrow. The faster your strength advances, the faster it spreads." Seeing Mu Lingnan's hesitant expression, Olivia raised a very small smile. "You know, I can't give up on improving my strength."

"But even if you suppress your strength, the magic pattern will continue to grow. When it grows all over your body, that will be the moment of death. Many of the pure-bloods in our garrison joined because they are fallen."

Olya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard from them that the number of pure-bloods who have fallen has suddenly increased a lot in recent years, but I don't know the specific situation."

"In short, in the past, corruption and short life were often associated with mixed-bloods. Therefore, they considered this a curse from God, believing that mixed-bloods were the children of bad luck. At the same time, corruption was often associated with dark magical talents like curses and undead magic. Under the brainwashing of the Church, which revered the God of Light, this discrimination became even more deeply ingrained."

The Vatican fell only a few hundred years ago, but this idea has been passed down for thousands of years.

If Cecil's authority in the Celestial Clan had not been enough to suppress all voices, Mu Lingnan might have been like the vast majority of mixed-race members of the tribe, being wandered, expelled, and feared.

Cecil had indeed been protecting her. Mu Lingnan had never realized this so deeply. Her childhood was much happier than that of other mixed-race people.

However, Mu Lingnan had a problem.

She suddenly asked: "Olivia, are all these things you mentioned available on Starnet?"

Olya nodded slightly and added, "It may be a little different from what I said, but the basic content should be there, so..." She was very surprised that Mu Lingnan knew nothing about this.

really.

Mu Lingnan took a deep breath for a long time, telling herself that Cecil's starting point was good, it was good... But she still couldn't hold back her anger. She already knew that she couldn't find any information about this on the Star Network. She also knew that for some reason, Cecil had extremely high authority in Gaia, the central computer that controlled the entire Star Network.

The result is obvious.

Damn it, Cecil is such a bastard. He actually ordered Gaia to block the information that her account could view. She was really pissed off.

Mu Lingnan suppressed her emotions that were about to explode. She tried to think normally and not be led astray by her anger.

She tried to understand why Cecil did this. She didn't understand. Perhaps blocking the information about the short lifespan of mixed-bloods was because he was worried she would do something stupid, but blocking the information about the fallen species was strange. There was no need for that, as she wasn't a fallen species.

Wait a minute, Mu Lingnan seemed to have caught the tail of inspiration. She looked at Olya with sparkling eyes: "Olya, is there anything else about mixed-bloods and fallen species? Please tell me everything!"

Olya didn't understand, but racked her brains to recall, "Hmm... I heard someone at the research institute say that the more talented a mixed-blood is, the more likely they are to degenerate. Furthermore, the appearance of the parent with the higher talent is often more inclined towards the race of that parent."

"For example, I have very few human features, and the woman we met earlier only had ears as her mermaid feature."

Mu Lingnan thought: But she obviously inherited more of her father's Celestial Clan appearance, but her talents as an Elf are even stronger, which doesn't make sense.

"Oliya... do you know if there is anything that can curb the degree of degeneration?" Mu Lingnan's eyes flashed.

Olya was suddenly shocked: "No, absolutely not, except... there is currently nothing else that can delay the degeneration!"

Except...what

Mu Lingnan was about to ask in detail when suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the city.

"Oh no, it's an enemy raid!"

Olya drew her knife in an instant, her eyes cold and her aura intimidating.

In fact, I have always believed that the end of science and metaphysics is the same.

Well, don’t worry too much.

Anyway, press the paw
