Chapter 2157: Chapter 61: Final Serenity (Part 2)
"Yingye, you canât integrate with Humans yourself, yet insist on staying tucked away with those few solitary âOriginal Speciesâ unsuitable for the current environment in your old lair; thatâs your problem, not ours."
"No matter whether a âHuman Star Godâ will appear in the future or not, as the mother of the human branch that once birthed the âFuerst People,â I will never be audited, and I might even be lauded as a model of racial fusion."
To this, the Master of Yingye retorted: "If you truly believed that, you wouldnât have come to this place of oursâbecoming The Creator does indeed mean one isnât a savage, but as long as we can carve out a territory, weâre equals; otherwise, in the future, weâll just be âDifferent Racesâ under Humans...Yes, The Creator wonât discriminate, but Humans will!"
"Do you truly desire that discriminated future?"
Clearly, no one wanted it.
Even Lady Wilderness, after seeing the Arcane Pathway, was contemplating a new path for her future.
"Alright, alright."
At the moment, on the other side, a white-haired Scholar donning academic robes, who seemed quite bookish, impatiently said: "Among us, Yingye, youâre the most anxious; who doesnât know about you getting pummeled by the Silverpeak Seer, having the least connection to Humans, and being most afraid of being audited?"
"Iâve been telling you all along, donât just play alone by yourself; instead, find your position among Humans using your advantages."
"Yes, your positionâmascot or research subject?" Yingye sneered coldly: "Who doesnât know about your good relations with the church, Bai Wo? The Aether Arms Order is your ally, the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits sees you as having propaganda value, the Retrospection Sect considers you the best example of resurrection after death, and donât even mention Embrace Lightâyouâre simply their miniaturized kindred!"
With a sarcastic tone, Scholar Baiwo said: "Well spoken! But youâve been beaten by the Silverpeak Seer!"
"And I am different; Iâm now a Spirit Energy Grand Scholar invited by the Supreme Spirit Sect, even though they donât know my true identity, yet even if it were revealed, I would still be greatly honored."
Seemingly scholarly, âBai Woâ was of course one of the three autonomous Magical Beast Alien leaders, the Fungus King, and also the ancestor of the Undead. Its original civilization was a primitive planet filled with fungi, yet it isnât truly fungi but rather the âsoul remnantsâ left behind after fungiâs death.
Accumulated remnants of too many spiritual fungi deaths formed a unique kind of âUndead,â who are far more wise than their original fungus forms ever were, capable of perceiving and understanding the world, and mastering the methods to cultivate better fungi to give birth to better Undead, even making the cultivation itself an act of âprocreationâ in their civilization.
Even when Bai Woâs original civilization ventured to other planets and discovered other original civilizations, it achieved symbiosis with themâregardless of who or what race they are, all can become Undead after death, a post-mortem civilization far fairer than the corporeal realm, and even machines arenât exempt; even robots, upon destruction, could potentially have civilization, thus forming the âBaiwo Star System Alliance,â representing Baiwoâs origin form.
The three Magical Beast Alien leaders, with Bai Wo collaborating deeply with Humans, exploring technologies concerning âUndead and Souls,â slowly reviving multi-civilized racial information within itself, manifesting as Wise Magical Beasts in the Titan Domain.
Lady Wilderness shapes her Beastmaster Bloodline into Sublimation Bloodline, integrating it with Humans, being both the mother of magical beasts and humans, both protector and just nature.
Only Yingye adheres to âImpure Bloodline means No Bloodlineâ and the âOne Drop Rule,â wholeheartedly aiming to create pure-blood Yingye On Terra; if unable, it would rather remain solitary, not play with Humans, ultimately getting knocked down by Silverpeak Seer and heading home for recovery, with few caring enough to console the Old Ancestor.
Hence, upon learning of the Perpetual Motion Machineâs existence, witnessing Silverpeak Seer nearly proving the Star God, it becomes the most anxious.
Though Yingye seemed criticized by both Wilderness and Bai Wo, appearing somewhat unpopular, in truth, the three âindividualsâ are the most steadfast allies.
Yingye represents the âSword of Hostility,â meant to threaten Humans, warning all Human champions that if Wise Magical Beasts go mad, they are capable of destroying the entire Orderly World.
Wilderness symbolizes âGood Intentions of Symbiosis,â Wise Magical Beasts willingly pay the price to coexist with Humans, even willing to relinquish its nameâso donât seek trouble, Iâve conceded this far; if you come to the wilderness to expand, youâre leaving no way out for us, prepare for self-destruct!
Bai Wo stands for âFusion of Civilizations,â like its predecessor, the Baiwo Alliance and Aether Arms Order and Retrospection Sect share an aim, the Great Unity of Intelligent Life, where one faction seeks soul uploading and collaborates with the Ashen King to create an eternal âSpirit Energy Reincarnation,â while another aims to convert everyone into âUndead beings,â a near-immortal post-mortem existence of âMan-Made Fine Soul.â
The former naturally lacks much goodwill, yet without the deterrent represented by such force, no Humans would accept subsequent benevolence and fusion, granting Wise Magical Beasts a survival space.
But herein lies the problem: in the face of truly turbulent forces capable of crushing Yingyeâs Sixth Echelon, this sword proves ineffectual, leaving them unable to devise any resolutions.
