Chapter 2261 The truth in the world of the living!
(4, 0);
Lin Yue, the old woman and the old man walked into a secret room located in the basement of the main hall. [sto. ＣＯＭ, read the chapter without error]
After closing the door of the secret room, Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Two seniors, what is the important matter?"
Judging from the conditions of the old man and the old woman, Lin Yue realized that what they wanted to say was by no means a trivial matter, which was why he took the initiative to propose to come to the secret room for a talk.
Hearing Lin Yue's question, the old man glanced at the old woman and signaled her to speak.
The old woman nodded, and then she said, "Lord God, what we are going to talk about next may be beyond your understanding, but you have now been promoted to the realm of the quasi-emperor in the awakening stage, and some truths about this world should be told to you."
The old man at the side also reminded him, "You don't have to accept everything I say next. You can have some doubts, but you must not treat it as a joke!"
"I understand!" Lin Yue also nodded seriously.
Next, the old woman seemed to have thought of something, and a very rare fear appeared in her eyes. She took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and then spoke.
"In fact, all of us, including the entire world of the living, are just test subjects..."
"What……!"
The first sentence the old woman said made Lin Yue's pupils shrink slightly.
He didn't expect the old woman to drop such a bombshell as soon as she opened her mouth. All of them and the living world were test subjects? Whose test subjects were they? And what were they used to test?
What does this mean?
Countless questions appeared in Lin Yue's mind.
Suddenly, the old woman’s words seemed to awaken a fragment of his memory. He recalled a sentence that once appeared in his ears: the entire world is a testing ground!
However, what kind of power was at work? He couldn't even remember where he heard this sentence, but it was deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be erased...
"call……"
Lin Yue took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed these distracting thoughts, and looked at the two old women who continued to listen attentively.
"The reason why it is called a test product is that neither the world of the living nor our existence was born from natural evolution, but was created artificially..." The old woman continued to speak in her hoarse voice, but from her tone, one could feel that she was not calm at the moment.
"The artificial creation here does not refer to the normal process of nurturing life, but a kind of creation from nothing to nothing. Looking back at the history of the living world, all races seem to have appeared in an instant, without any evolutionary process!"
Hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "But hasn't the history of the first era been lost in the long river of time?"
Knowing the ancient history of the world of the living, he knew that before the era he was in, this world of the living had gone through countless eras. People like Chen Quanzhen, Lu Yu, and the old man and old woman in front of him were not born in the current era, but came from a long, long time ago.
The old woman nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, the first era of the entire world cannot be traced back, but you should know that the end of each era will face a huge catastrophe, and only a very small number of creatures can survive to the next new era, right?"
"I know this. The world we live in today has only developed to its current level after the arrival of the new era, and it took tens of thousands of years." Lin Yue replied with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Then do you know why the number of races in the world has never changed from the beginning to the end? To be exact, every time a new era begins, the number of all races, big and small, added together has always remained at a full ten thousand!"
"How is this possible...?" Lin Yue said in disbelief.
"But the fact is, those small-scale races may be completely destroyed due to some events. Even the larger races cannot guarantee that they will survive the catastrophe that comes at the end of the era. But when a new era comes, the number of races in the entire world will still return to the value of 10,000. Looking at the ancient history of the past few eras, this has been the case every time."
"Could it be that those extinct races will reappear?" Lin Yue asked puzzledly.
"No!"
The old woman shook her head and rejected it, and her hoarse voice seemed to penetrate the space and reach Lin Yue's ears.
"Extinct races will never reappear, but when a new era comes, new races will appear out of thin air to fill their vacancies."
Hearing this, Lin Yue showed a look of astonishment.
"Appearing out of nowhere?"
"That's right, it just appeared out of nowhere, without any signs at all!"
The old woman's next words overturned Lin Yue's imagination. She said with a stern look in her eyes, "Not only the new race, but all races, including us, appeared out of thin air in the world of the living a long time ago, just like the test subjects put here. The eliminated races will never appear again, and will be replaced by a group of new test subjects who are more suitable for survival."
Hearing this inexplicably familiar statement, Lin Yue suddenly had an idea and asked.
"Is this... raising insects?!"
Seeing that Lin Yue understood what she meant, the old woman nodded in agreement.
"That's right! This is breeding Gu. The talents and abilities of each race are different. The purpose of doing this is to select the strongest race." (5,0);
"But why do people do this?" Lin Yue couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"I don't know, but that's the truth."
The old woman shook her head and continued.
"In our situation, it is not easy to detect their existence, let alone to try to find out their purpose. The only consequence of doing so is destruction. This is why I told you this only after you reached the Quasi-Emperor of the Bone Tempering Stage. The more people know about this, the easier it is to attract their attention..."
Hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that such a secret existed in the world of the living.
This also made him feel his own insignificance. Although he had now broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm of the Bone Tempering Stage and became one of the few strongest people under the Heavenly Emperor, he still felt a sense of powerlessness when facing the existence mentioned by the old woman.
Suddenly, Lin Yue thought of what happened recently and asked quickly, "So, the appearance of the red fog this time was not a natural disaster, but a trick they used?"
"Well, according to our discussion and analysis with Chen Quanzhen, the appearance of the red mist is likely a round of testing." The old woman nodded and said, "It is similar to the previous statement, but this time the elimination is not targeted at a certain race but at individuals. The red mist will react with the Yao Qi in the body of the cultivator. Those who cannot adapt will die, but the cultivators who adapt to this substance will gain benefits to varying degrees..."
