Chapter 1551: Have You Heard?
“Have you heard? Ye Qiyan of the Emperor Sequence has also arrived.”
“I did hear about that. He’s currently in a place called Slylin Town.”
“Should we go check it out? He’s very strong. With him around, even if a Legion Commander from the insect swarm arrives, we can hold our ground for a while.”
“The Legion Commanders of the Zerg are existences on par with True Gods. Can he really pull it off?”
“Why not? Didn’t you watch the live stream before?”
“Hmm… Although he’s strong, his growth time has still been too short. It’ll take at least three years, right? Only after three Wasteland Years will his Stamina and Mental Power grow at a faster rate. Right now… I bet his Mental Power and Stamina are only just over 1,000. Do you believe me?”
“Uh, surely it’s not that low? When I watched his battles against those powerhouses in the live stream, his output was incredibly high. It didn’t look like a stat of just 1,000.”
“Items, Modules, and all kinds of enhancements, obviously. But no matter what, if the base stats aren’t high enough, no amount of doubling or stacking those enhancements will fully make up for it.”
“Sigh, I don’t know if I’ll live to see the day this Sovereign of Calamity fully matures. I really want to witness with my own eyes just how strong he will be then.”
“So, are we going or not?”
“Let’s go. There’s no reason not to. Anyway, if the sky falls, the demons will hold it up, haha.”
Similar conversations were occurring among many Train Captains.
Ye Qiyan—as long as a Train Captain paid even a little attention to the city network, they would definitely know this name.
He was the pioneer of this human Golden Age.
No one knew exactly on which day this era began.
People only knew that the humans of this era were stronger than ever before.
Even though there were more False Gods, more True Gods, and the monsters were stronger!
The difficulty of the Station World was also far more ridiculous than in any previous era.
But as long as they cleared that Stop, the rewards they received would also far exceed those of the past.
Ancient figures set sail once more, a new generation of powerhouses was rising, and more people with Talent became Train Captains.
This was the Golden Age.
“Oh my, this era is truly interesting, isn’t it, Agatha?”
A man dressed in detective attire, filled with curiosity about everything and possessing purplish-red eyes, asked the woman beside him with a beaming smile.
The woman named Agatha was somewhat nervous.
“Xu Kong, are we really doing this? We were the ones who released those bugs inside the Kingdom of Order last time… What if they find out it was us…”
“Don’t be nervous, nothing will happen.”
Peering through a magnifying glass, Xu Kong stared intently at the sun in the sky.
“We are genuine humans, after all, not Zerg. Why would we be captured?”
Agatha sighed, grabbing him by the collar and dragging him to a corner.
“Stop being so stubborn. We went through so much trouble to escape the control of the City of a Thousand Stars. I really don’t know why you insisted on running all the way here. With our strength, we can’t really do anything anyway…”
“No, no, no, Agatha, you’re wrong. Weakness is not the original sin that keeps one from satisfying curiosity; fear is~. Something very interesting is bound to happen here. Don’t you want to see it with your own eyes?
To see the rise and fall of this nation, and to see if humanity can survive a disaster once again.
To see just how far humanity’s internal strife can go?
Ah~
Among the races of this world, those that love internal strife more than humans are not as intelligent as humans.
Those that are more intelligent than humans do not love chaos as humans do.
Utterly imperfect~ Hehe, what an interesting race. I’m liking humans more and more.
Ouch.”
Agatha raised her hand and rapped Xu Kong on the head.
“You talk as if you aren’t human yourself. You always spout the strangest things. Let’s go. Since we’re already here, we might as well earn some funds and materials for the guild.
Let’s head… in the direction of that Ye Qiyan.”
“Alright, whatever you say.”
Xu Kong rubbed his head, feeling delighted.
Perfection was painful, and also absolutely wrong.
Only after obtaining a human identity did Xu Kong finally understand why the Golden Race of the past had chosen to dilute their own bloodline.
The idea that the Golden Race would become the Silver Race after interbreeding with other races was, in essence, a fallacy.
He had conducted experiments. The bloodline of the Golden Race was inherently and extremely corrosive.
Regardless of gender or race, even if they were True Gods or Transcendents, as long as their genes crossed, the final result would still only be the [Golden Race].
Because the [Golden Race] represented perfection.
Absolute perfection.
Innate perfection!
Such perfection could also encompass all things.
And what this encompassing represented was that everything would eventually become them.
In that case, where did the Silver Race, and the Bronze Race below them, come from?
Even now,
[Void] had still not figured out exactly what technology they used to bring the Silver and Bronze Races into existence.
But unfortunately,
in essence, they still failed.
The ultimate imperfection that the Silver Race yearned for was, after all, a sham. In their bones, the Silver Race was still driven by absolute perfectionism, constantly progressing toward the Golden Race.
Had it not been for that war back then, given another million Wasteland Years, the Silver Race would have eventually become the Golden Race once again.
As for the Bronze Race, on top of the foundation of the Silver Race, even their physical forms had changed, leaving them with even less of a possibility to pursue ultimate imperfection.
That apex of the Golden Race, the Chief of the Hero Race, saw further than anyone else.
Is that why she chose failure…
Because only through her failure could the perfect Golden Race become imperfect.
[“How truly foolish.”]
Void thought to himself.
[“If I were her, what would it matter even if the wilderness was completely brought to an end? Giving up one’s own life just for the future of the wilderness and whatnot… Heh.”]
With the emergence of humanity, Void felt it was a pity that the Golden Race had met The End.
For if the Golden Race were still around, humanity would one day contend with them for the future.
When that time came, the war between the absolutely perfect Golden Race and the truly, utterly imperfect humans…
…would be the most delicious feast.
What a pity, what a pity…
“Let’s go and see to what height Mr. Ye Qiyan has grown now.”
————
“Oh? That Ye Qiyan has appeared.”
wilderness · Zerg Empire.
The Broodmother sat sideways on her throne, resting her chin on one hand while playing with a clump of pheromones with the other.
Beside her were several Emperor-class Zerg, who looked identical to humans, or rather, to the perfect physical form.
“Yes, Great Broodmother. Ye Qiyan has appeared in a town called Slylin. The one in charge of that direction is the 18th Legion. That legion has a quota of metalized bio-mechanical spider eggs.
They are best at devouring metal. Surely, they will soon bring that human before you.”
The Broodmother crushed the clump of pheromones.
“Have the Legion Commander of the 18th Legion take action. The outcome of this war is fundamentally unimportant. My legions are still scattered across the wilderness. It won’t be that easy to conquer Lu Cangxiao’s Kingdom of Order, and the time is not yet ripe.
But since this Ye Qiyan has appeared, he is far more important than this war.
I want to make him my offspring!”
In her mind, the Broodmother recalled countless times the moment the Kingdom of Order first descended. When she touched the barrier that Ye Qiyan had opened to achieve Sublimation of the self, she had seen an endless path, an unlimited starting point, and an infinite future.
She desperately wanted to see it again.
The Zerg Emperors knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with jealousy toward one another.
They could not understand why the Great Broodmother would care so deeply about a mere human.
