Chapter 431: Fallen Dragon
"Does the Karen tribe...mean dragon?"
It was not until this time that Ao Xing suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes widened and he had a clear understanding of his current situation.
Since there has never been a creator in this world, there are naturally no immortals.
Without the immortals spreading civilization and faith as the "eldest sons of God", the subsequent mountain and sea civilizations would naturally not have been able to be born.
"You can simply understand it this way."
Without denying Ao Xing's statement, the Dragon of Pain gave further explanation.
"The Karen people are a collection of unconscious beings, the ecosystem of the dark world, and the embodiment of the survival instinct of all living things."
"They have been stripped of all sentience, stripped of all intelligence."
"Until the falling sun began to lose its temperature, the Karen people, sensing danger, once again activated their suppressed trend of intelligent evolution."
When the sun and the moon fell, the world was doomed to be on the eve of destruction.
Because the first thing that disappears in this world is light, but light is not the only thing that disappears.
Following the light, what disappears is the temperature that is lost as the sun gradually goes out.
Once the world loses its temperature, even the Karen people who have evolved into inorganic matter will once again fall into eternal silence.
The most crucial thing is that with the loss of temperature, the neuroinhibitors that the Karen people spread all over the world simultaneously lost their activity.
As a result, those individuals that were originally assimilated by the Karen tribe evolved their nerve centers and brains again, and simultaneously passed on their own intelligence to the original dragons.
In this situation, something unexpected yet natural happened.
The original dragon was the individual with the strongest learning ability, and its nerve cells evolved even faster than those assimilated individuals.
Then, the pain came to the Karen people.
Pain is the extreme manifestation of touch and is an instinctive feeling of life when facing a threat.
When the Karen people feel pain, it means that this race has a sense of self and a desire to survive for the first time.
Driven by their own desire and the desire to survive, the Karen people, whose nerve cells grew rapidly, evolved true intelligence and began to seriously think about the meaning of their own existence.
Thus, the "Fallen Dragon" was born.
As the name suggests, the Fallen Dragon is a fallen dragon, a fallen Karen.
In the ethnic consciousness of the Karen people, they believe that they are the most perfect beings and immortal beings created by billions of years of time in the mountain and sea world.
——Become one with the earth and one with all living beings.
This primitive and simple idea is a key element in the growth of the Karen people to this day.
Especially after the evolution of nerve cells, the Karen people, who have learned to think, firmly believe that only by becoming one with the whole world can they escape the fate of being doomed to destruction.
——When you become the world itself, you will naturally not need the warmth of the sun to continue living.
This is the important driving force that enables the Karen people to maintain their original appearance and persist to this day.
Unfortunately, the Karen people's concept is too extreme and fundamentally denies the reason for the existence of other creatures.
The awakening of self-awareness, coupled with the disagreement with the Karen people's ideas...
Some individuals with extreme egos split from the Karen tribe and became independent creatures of the same species and genus - the Fallen Dragons! The Fallen Dragons inherited the abilities and ecology of the Karen tribe, but they were very concerned about their own integrity.
Unless necessary, the Fallen Dragon will never devour or assimilate other individuals, and will maintain its own integrity to the greatest extent possible.

"So, you are the Fallen Dragon?"
Ao Xing admitted that his surprise today might have used up all the surprises he could have experienced in his entire life.
Because it never expected that the person who called himself the "Dragon of Pain" would actually be a special individual independent from the Karen tribe.
"Yes, I am indeed a fallen dragon."
Flying over this unfamiliar Tang Valley with Ao Xing, the Dragon of Pain did not deny the other party's statement.
"The Karen people believe that assimilating other life forms is a thorough form of communication..."
“This is a form of communication in which life, knowledge, thought, will, and even soul are completely integrated. It is the only chance for everyone to escape from this terrible world.”
“Those lives assimilated by the Karen people are not dead either, they are just living in another way.”
"But... the fallen dragon who can already feel the pain doesn't think so."
When he said this, the Dragon of Pain paused for a moment.
“Pain is a warning and a proof of life.”
“Once you become a member of the Karen tribe and lose the ability to feel pain, it means the end of your life.”
“As for the Karen people who inherited everything from me, no matter how much they learn and imitate my original appearance, they are no longer themselves.”
"Besides, if being unconscious and in chaos can help them get out of their current predicament, then how could the original Karen people evolve nerve cells again?"
The voice of the Dragon of Pain at this moment seemed to be chanting, and also seemed to be sighing.
"This is the biggest cognitive difference between the Karen people and the fallen dragons today, and it is also the fundamental reason for their mutual hostility."
"The Karen tribe wants to absorb the power and knowledge of the fallen dragons and evolve into eternal entities that can survive without the need for warmth before the sun completely extinguishes."
"The fallen dragons, realizing the value of freedom, searched for prehistoric relics all over the world, trying to find a chance to survive from the mountain and sea dragons that have left this world."
Hearing what the Dragon of Pain said, Ao Xing couldn't help but fall into silence again.
After understanding the history of this world, it was not difficult for Ao Xing to understand the conflict between the Karen people and the fallen dragons.
However, from an outsider's perspective, it is currently impossible to know who is right or wrong in terms of the two sides' ideas and positions.
Or to be more precise, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, the Karen people and the Fallen Dragons are merely two different choices to achieve the same goal.
"So, your meeting me was not a coincidence?"
After a brief silence, Ao Xing spoke again with a look of sudden realization on his face.
"You think of me as the...legacy left by the Shanhai Dragon Clan in this world?"
"You actually stayed by my side for a long time before I woke up, right?"
"Also, you call yourself the Dragon of Pain. Is it because after you felt pain, you realized that you were different from others, and that's why you eventually became a fallen dragon?"
