Chapter 63: The Witch Clan
......
Human beings are a very amazing species.
They have the same appearance as the celestial beings, but do not have their eternal lifespan and wisdom.
Rather than saying that they are creations of heaven, sometimes I feel that they are more like creatures that reproduce and develop on their own.
They are weak and sickly, have short lifespans, extremely poor physical constitutions, and even their IQs vary.
Apart from its extremely fast reproduction speed, there are almost no advantages to speak of.
Such a flawed species is obviously an experiment of God.
Although we don’t say it, in our eyes, humans will be eliminated by the laws of nature sooner or later.
Just like the perfect celestial being before, he will disappear from this world without anyone noticing.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a sense of sympathy with humans.
After all, although we are worshipped as gods by humans, we are actually still subject to the laws of nature.
The only difference is probably that we were not created by heaven.
Even so, we don’t know when we will disappear silently from this world like the gods.
This sympathy has caused many gods to develop subtle feelings towards humans, and has helped humans a lot.
Later, in order to thank us, this part of the human race began to believe in us and praise us in the most beautiful language they could think of.
They call us - God, which means omnipotent existence.
I discovered the wonder of the human species.
They learn extremely fast, to an incredible degree.
Although they do not have any inherited memories, for them, if there is no written language, they can pass it on orally or even through paintings.
After inventing writing, they quickly began to record their thoughts, culture, science and technology in books, passing them down from generation to generation.
They are like ants building a nest. Generation after generation dies, and generation after generation takes their place, even doing better than the previous ones.
It is by following this stupid method that human beings, an existence that no one is optimistic about, have grown rapidly in a very short period of time.
And very soon, he grew to the stage of celestial being.
We all thought this was the end for them, but soon we discovered that humans were not satisfied with this.
They are still growing at an astonishing rate, and I suddenly have high hopes for them.
Perhaps this time, humans are not experiments of heaven, but truly satisfied creations.
They created city-states and countries that could protect themselves and established political regimes.
They gathered together to start farming, create and improve farm tools, and invent items to improve their lives.
Even on the spiritual level, there are dramas, novels, poems, songs...
In order to obtain the protection of the gods, they even built temples, worshipped the gods, and pleased the gods.
They gradually moved towards a direction I had never explored, bringing endless surprises to me, and even to all the gods.
But just when I thought that humans would continue to explore forward like a galloping horse, they stopped.
It never occurred to me that human desires could both propel them forward and hold them back.
At first, it was just a quarrel between two people, but later it evolved into a dispute between cities and then a conflict between countries.
The war broke out so suddenly.
Overnight, the entire continent fell into endless death and terror.
Human civilization began to stagnate, and some civilizations even began to regress.
The surviving humans began to pray for the protection of God.
At first, we responded to them.
However, as time went on, we soon discovered that if we continued on this trend, humans would soon become extinct.
But if we really intervene and want to find the culprit of the war, we will find that things have already reached a point where they cannot be sorted out.
Human beings hold different opinions and confront each other, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
The weak are willing to give in and apologize, but the strong are pressing on.
But when we intervene, the weak become the strong, and they lose their initial humility and become the ones who press forward step by step, demanding resources.
We suddenly understand that in the face of desire and ambition, what are the gods they worship?
A vague existence, a pretext for war, something that exists if you believe in it and doesn't exist if you don't...
It seems we have never seen humans clearly.
The conflict lasted for three hundred years, and the gods were exhausted.
For the first time, the gods made such a tacit decision to leave the future of mankind to be decided by heaven.
The Way of Heaven is worthy of being the Way of Heaven. It is very familiar with the species it created.
The war never ended, but a plague suddenly broke out among humans.
The gods mediated the war that had not ended for three hundred years, and on the thirty-second day after the plague arrived, it tacitly stopped.
The human species has once again begun to unite and work together to overcome this difficulty.
Fortunately, God's original intention was not to exterminate mankind. After wreaking havoc on the world for two years, the plague left with the winter of the following year.
In the spring of the third year, humans, who had briefly recovered, began to struggle to survive.
The statues and temples that were knocked down and destroyed during the war were "piously" erected again.
No, it should be said that I am more pious than ever before.
They seemed to have misunderstood the origin of the plague, but the gods were tired of explaining.
The Way of Heaven seemed a little disappointed. After granting us the ownership of mankind, it quickly fell into a deep sleep.
At this point, we have become the true rulers of mankind.
But none of us wants to manage a species we have never recognized.
Call it cold-blooded or ruthless.
We assume that humans have their own paths to follow, and we are at most bystanders who watch and record where they go.
Time passed quickly, a hundred years or a thousand years? I can't remember clearly.
All we know is that one morning after that, the gods suddenly held a meeting.
The theme of the conference is - the survival of mankind.
I had never expected such a heavy topic to be discussed.
After all, we have already made up our minds that no matter what the future of mankind will be, we will no longer interfere with their fate.
I don't know who convened this council, and judging by the words of the other gods at the meeting, I can only guess that it was more than one god.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Humans are eliminating the witch clan.
I actually don’t have any impression of the Wu clan.
If you insist, they are probably also human beings, or their ancestors are also human beings.
The witch clan was originally born in the plague sent by heaven, and they were considered the best among the humans at that time.
They saved many people from the plague, but at the same time, they also underwent genetic mutations during the plague.
I had thought that such an ethnic group that had made such a huge contribution to mankind would be treated preferentially, but judging from the results of the meeting, they did not seem to be welcomed by humans, and it could even be said that they suffered humiliation and exclusion.
The pioneers who once sacrificed themselves to fight the plague were no match for time.
After all, they overestimated human xenophobia, and their descendants gradually turned from descendants of heroes into monsters.
The human race is really strange. Sometimes they are selfish and timid, but once there is profit to be made, they become bold and reckless.
They stole the fruits of the Wu clan's victory and attempted to smear history and burn the last bloodline of the Wu clan to death...]
