"But we are the ones who are suppressed, and we are still in a state of constant suppression."
At this point, Sang Ning asked curiously, "Uncle, why are we being suppressed?"
Gu Shiqian looked at her in surprise upon hearing this, "You actually figured out that we've been suppressed all along."
Sang Ning rolled her eyes. "I'm not stupid!"
"I didn't know before because I wasn't out there, and I was worried about making a living every day while tending to my small plot of land."
"There was no way to receive or understand information from the outside world, so we were completely clueless and knew nothing."
"After coming out, I received more information and became familiar with some things that I had never heard of or seen before. If I still couldn't see them, I would really be a big fool."
Gu Shiqian laughed, "It proves you're not a complete fool."
As he spoke, his smile faded. "The reason we were suppressed was not because of anything else, but because our ancestors strongly opposed Maynard, the head of the authoritarian center at the time, who was carrying out a genetic modification program."
"This guy is a madman. In order to obtain superior genes, he directly opened up a plan for intermarriage among all races."
"Intelligent life is not like hybrid rice, where the more hybrids there are, the better the varieties become. Human genes are the most stable among all intelligent species."
"This is also the fundamental reason why humans were coveted after they migrated out."
"Before the plan for intermarriage among all races was approved, there were quite a few races that coveted human genes."
"But few races dare to put it into action; most just think about it in their hearts."
Only a few races have taken action to directly confront humanity in order to obtain human genes.
Recalling humanity's past, Gu Shiqian's aura became violent, but his face remained calm as he continued, "You are young and don't know all of history. Humanity survived from a great cataclysm."
"The Great Cataclysm?"
Sang Ning asked in surprise, "What kind of cataclysm?"
"Apocalyptic crisis".
Sang Ning uttered an "Uh," "The zombie kind?"
"No."
As he spoke, Gu Shiqian explained in detail what the crisis humanity encountered at that time came from: a ray from outer space that caused most of the life on Earth to mutate.
Countless creatures died in this mutation, and those that survived gained strange and unusual abilities.
However, this ability fades or even disappears with each generation as the crisis subsides.
Sang Ning didn't understand what this meant at first, until—
"After Maynard came up with the plan for intermarriage among all races, humans, as the genetically most stable species, were the first to be targeted."
"At that time, humanity was in a very difficult situation. We were no match for the natives here in terms of weapons, but we were no match in terms of technology."
"If my abilities hadn't faded, I might still have a fighting chance relying on my own strength, but my abilities have faded."
"Left with no other choice, the migrating humans chose to compromise in order to survive."
"With this compromise, Maynard's plan became increasingly successful, and humanity gained a foothold in this unfamiliar universe by intermarrying with other races."
"When our ancestors received the news and rushed over, humans had already intermarried with other races and produced the first generation of mixed-race children."
At this point, his face turned very grim. "You can't imagine how powerful the first generation of mixed-race individuals were."
"Strong in terms of physique, intelligence, and genes."
"But this strength is not a good thing for humanity."
"Because this means that human genes will be coveted by countless races."
"Later, our ancestors' premonition came true, and humans became highly sought after. However, while genetic mixing might not cause problems in the first, second, and third generations, it could be problematic in the fourth generation and beyond."
"If we're unlucky, the second generation might have problems."
Even if Gu Shiqian didn't tell her what would happen next, Sang Ning could probably guess.
It's simply a matter of one side vehemently opposing it, while the other side, insatiable and greedy, isn't satisfied with just the migrated human genes and wants to wipe out all purebred humans in one fell swoop.
However, due to the desperate resistance of a portion of humanity—the former Blue Star, now the E72 planet's inhabitants—they abandoned the E72 planet's inhabitants.
In contrast, they began to suppress the humans on planet E72.
They want to use this method to force humans to compromise and join the ranks of genetically hybridized people.
It failed.
The humans on planet E72 did not compromise; instead, they persevered.
In addition, problems arose in the Milky Way galaxy, causing Blue Star, located in the Milky Way, to become a planet that is surrounded by cosmic storms and dust storms all year round.
It's also possible that Maynard, who originally devised the genetic hybridization plan, passed away, and the people who came to power afterward didn't pay much attention to the genes of humans on planet E72. Instead, their intentional or unintentional neglect and suppression made the already precarious situation of planet E72 even worse.
Ultimately, it became a completely marginal planet.
They've even lost their status as the origin of humankind.
Gu Shiqian continued speaking, and although his assessment differed somewhat from Sang Ning's, the general direction was similar.
However, some of the details Gu Shiqian added, and the things the elite humans did to other humans, made Sang Ning feel so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
After he finished speaking, Sang Ning fell silent.
Gu Shiqian picked up his water glass and gulped down more than half of it before asking, "What did you think after hearing that?"
"Those who do evil will not live long."
Aside from that sentence, Sang Ning couldn't think of any other sentence that would be suitable for elite humans.
Gu Shiqian laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Well said, isn't it true that you reap what you sow?"
At this point, his expression turned ferocious as he said, "Our ancestors repeatedly warned us that we must never, ever, interbreed unless absolutely necessary."
"In cases where interbreeding is absolutely necessary for survival and continuation, the number of genes in the mixed offspring must absolutely not exceed three, but nobody listens to that advice."
"Everyone, including our fellow citizens, is immersed in the joy that interbreeding can make offspring stronger."
"But they forgot that too much genetic mixing can lead to genetic problems."
"Now,"
He scoffed and said sarcastically, "Genetic diseases are starting to break out. Just wait and see. If the hidden dangers brought about by genes cannot be resolved in the next thirty years, the total population of Moykaz will not only be reduced by half, but will certainly be reduced by a third."
Sang Ning sighed, "It definitely won't be solved in thirty years."
Genetic diseases are not a recent phenomenon; they have existed for many, many years.
However, at that time, because there were not many people suffering from genetic diseases, and even fewer who died from them, it was not taken seriously.
When the numbers started to rise, they finally paid attention.
Then, medical experts began to delve into research on the treatment of genetic diseases.
Hundreds of years have passed, and while gene testing technology has become increasingly advanced and the time required has become shorter, there is still no way to deal with genetic diseases. Sang Ning really doesn't think that this huge hidden danger can be solved in thirty years.
But what she couldn't understand was—
Why did the director believe that my traditional Chinese medicine could cure genetic diseases?
At this point, she looked at Gu Shiqian and asked, "Did you say something to the director that caused him to have the wrong impression?"
The thought of the director talking to her about the new world gave Sang Ning a headache.
