Chapter 511 We Are Not Human
Not only the project team members in the conference room, but even Fang Xianyu himself had tried to find the answer to this question, but unfortunately there was no result.
So, she avoided the topic and continued to talk about demon cultivation: "So, 'demon' is actually very easy to judge. If we follow the concept on Blue Star, it can perhaps be understood as a kind of 'mutation'. Of course, the 'spiritualization reaction' you mentioned is also a direction.
"The biggest difference between 'monsters' and the animals they come from is probably that 'monsters' can continue to grow and 'evolve', which is to say... practice.
"As demon cultivators practice, they can constantly improve their character, and their bodies will gradually be tempered, gradually leaving their animal nature and moving towards a human form and way of thinking.
"Of course, this is from a human perspective. In fact, whether it is demon cultivators or other races, even humans, as they practice and refine their bodies, they will become closer and closer to the appearance of 'gods'... It is worth mentioning that I am talking about the innate gods of ancient times, not the gods in the form of exotic beasts later on."
Fang Xianyu's explanation made many people look thoughtful.
Based on the analysis of materials collected by the project team from various places such as Quanxianwang City, the timeline of Guixu Realm can be roughly divided into four stages. The Guixu Realm History Research Group also specifically named these four stages and made a simple summary.
The first stage is called the "Age of Chaos". During this period, legend has it that the heaven and earth were separated by the Guixu Sea. The world was filled with clear air and turbid air, but there was no spiritual energy. There were no living creatures between heaven and earth, only the endless Guixu Sea.
The second stage is called the "Life Era". As the name suggests, during this period, the pure energy turned into the first gods, namely Nuwa, Fengzhu, Litian, Kuiwei, Leizu, etc., and the images of these gods were similar to those of humans.
At the same time, during this period, these gods attained enlightenment in the endless Guixu Sea. Some of them ignited the sun (although this is very different from the understanding of celestial bodies on the Blue Star side, in many records, the sun in the Guixu Realm was indeed "ignited" by the gods), some moved the moon (still based on the records), and some controlled wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
These gods were constantly gaining enlightenment, and there were many fights and frictions among them. As a result, in this era, many gods fell, and many new races and lives were born (according to Fang Xianyu's explanation, they were new creatures transformed from the flesh and blood of gods).
The third stage is what people often call the "ancient times", also known as the "ancient era".
During this period, after being suppressed by several powerful gods and invaded by the Nine Netherworld, the Guixu Realm generally remained relatively peaceful despite the growing external threats. The two famous "great disasters" of sealing the Nine Netherworld with Mount Xuwei and blocking the entrance to Guixu with the Five Color Formation also occurred during this period.
At the same time, various races began to develop collective civilizations, forming basic societies, and living in clusters, most of which were dependent on some gods. It was during this period that the Dragon Clan, the Quanxian Clan, and other races gradually formed stable civilizations.
In addition, Nuwa's creation of human beings also took place at the end of the ancient era.
The fourth stage is called the "Fourth Era". It is marked by the collective disappearance of the ancient gods - this was the division made within the Blue Star Flower Growers project team. In fact, the division of these four eras was determined by the project team itself. After all, we cannot expect the scattered forces in Guixu Realm to do any research in this regard.
According to the classification, the Guixu Realm is still in the early stages of the Fourth Era, because the first three eras lasted hundreds of thousands of years, and the Fourth Era has only begun less than ten thousand years ago.
A member of the project team was obviously relieved and said, "If we assume that the monsters that have undergone the 'spiritualization reaction' have indeed presented a 'completely mutated' form, then there will be no difficulty in us arguing about how to classify whether an animal is a 'monster' or not."
"That's right. Actually, there is a simpler way to understand it," Fang Xianyu nodded and said, "For example, many animals with higher intelligence levels will not eat their own kind, but demon cultivators do not have the taboo of not being able to eat animals of their own descent. The phenomenon of rabbit demons eating wild rabbits is not uncommon. After herbivores have awakened their spiritual intelligence, they do not necessarily only eat plants. Just like on Blue Star, herbivores only eat specific foods mostly because their digestive systems and bodies can only accept that kind of food. After awakening their spiritual intelligence and becoming demon cultivators, their bodies are tempered and there is no such shackles."
Aunt Wang quietly glanced at the time and saw that Fang Xianyu had basically said everything he needed to say, so she took over the conversation and asked, "I see. So, does Sect Master Fang have any opinions or suggestions on the construction and establishment of an institution for multi-ethnic learning, including demon cultivators?"
Fang Xianyu smiled and replied, "It is a proposal that deserves recognition. I look forward to a more inclusive school appearing in Guixu Realm, under the rule of Taiyin Sect."
After understanding Fang Xianyu's meaning, Aunt Wang took charge and said, "Thank you for your opinion, Sect Master Fang. Our project team will submit a plan to you later..."
After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, the screen on Fang Xianyu's side finally went dark.
For a moment, the meeting room was silent.
Although there was nothing too shocking in Fang Xianyu's introduction, everyone present was a smart person and they always felt a slight sense of incongruity.
After a long time, it was the bravest Wang Qiqing who broke the silence.
"Ahem, I suddenly had an idea,"
He coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, and then he made the most explosive statement of the day: "Is there a possibility? I mean possible, that the people of our Blue Star Flower Growing Family are not actually human!"
As soon as Wang Qiqing finished speaking, several professors around him who had the best relationship with him showed indescribable expressions, as if they were looking at a mentally retarded person.
Wang Qiqing, who felt that he was standing in the atmosphere, raised his chin slightly to whet everyone's appetite. However, Professor Wu beside him suddenly reacted, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "Professor Wang, what you mean is that if the people of our Flower Cultivation Family on Blue Star are all descendants of the ancient gods that disappeared in Guixu Realm, then we are indeed different from the current 'humans' in Guixu Realm!"
A professor immediately shook his head and said, "I object. The time of the key nodes of the two worlds really doesn't match. Moreover, the development and evolution of humans on our Blue Planet are traceable, and the genes are passed down from generation to generation. There is no sudden appearance or increase. Moreover, it can be traced back to the early Homo sapiens 100,000 years ago... 100,000 years ago, the Guixu Realm was still in the 'ancient era', and the so-called 'ancient gods' had not yet left the Guixu Realm!"
Wang Qiqing insisted: "But I still think we are not human!"
