#516 - Chapter 516 What They Want
“Wait.”
Upon hearing Han Xuan say that the Ascension Species' goal in ascending was to make every member of their race a god race,
the erudite Fallen Angel Liz immediately interrupted Han Xuan.
“Um, the so-called god race is actually very ambiguous!”
“Not every race that completes ascension is qualified to become a god race.”
“Because the so-called god race has two completely different interpretations.”
“The first interpretation is that the so-called god race refers to races related to gods by blood. In many cases, this explanation is the most common and widely used.”
“The second interpretation is that the so-called god race refers to those races acknowledged by the multiverse and granted the origin of the world, the god race.”
“Such races are, in essence, the closest to gods.”
“However, they are still very far from becoming true gods.”
“That distance is like...”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Seeing Fallen Angel Liz getting carried away, Wu Wei immediately reached out and patted Liz's long golden hair, interrupting her chanting.
“You've explained enough!”
“I called you here not to give us a lecture.”
“I called you here to listen carefully to what this old gentleman has to say, and then tell me about it!”
Hearing Wu Wei's words, Fallen Angel Liz rolled her eyes helplessly.
Clearly, she wasn't convinced.
In her opinion, more than 90% of Principal Han Xuan's statements had minor issues.
However, considering her position, Fallen Angel Liz sighed and expressed her obedience to Wu Wei.
“Uh...”
“How do you know these things?”
But it was too late.
Liz's previous "exceptional performance" had already aroused Principal Han Xuan's suspicion.
“You... are you also a child of a god?”
Liz's knowledge not only challenged Wu Wei's ceiling but also Han Xuan's.
Moreover, Han Xuan had never heard of the things she said about the origin of the world.
“No, I am not a child of a true god~”
“However, my status is similar to that of a god's child. After all, I am qualified to serve a true god. I am a servant of a true god, you know~”
Saying this, Liz proudly raised a thumb, completely ignoring Wu Wei, who was covering his face.
Frankly, Liz was the first person Wu Wei had ever seen who could talk about being a servant with such pride.
“Alright, alright, I get it.”
Han Xuan gave Liz a look that said, "So you also have mental problems," understood everything, and continued to say to Wu Wei.
“In short, after the Ascension Species' ascension failed, they became like this.”
Han Xuan pointed to the Ascension Species' corpse slumped below.
“Ascension weakened their bodies, imprisoning their spirits in this mass of root-like things.”
“It looks as if their race has completely lost its potential.”
“But that's not the case.”
“Because this failed ascension has instead given them mental control abilities stronger than any other race.”
“And they, with their powerful mental control abilities, became one of the most terrifying existences in the entire Lord Era, second only to the Human Empire!”
“Moreover, with their expansion, they gradually extended their reach to the Empire, plotting against it.”
“Isn't that normal?”
After listening to Han Xuan's account, Wu Wei shrugged and said indifferently.
“The Human Empire has enemies numbering not less than eight thousand, if not ten thousand.”
“Which of the Human Empire's enemies hasn't coveted the Human Empire's territory?”
Wu Wei was being honest.
As the largest force in the Lord Era, the Human Empire was practically at odds with any force of significant size.
From the reclusive Titan race to the four dark races, to the Styx and Beast Ancestor forces, and so on.
These forces would launch frenzied attacks whenever they encountered the Human Empire, a completely life-or-death relationship.
Of course, this was also because the Human Empire was xenophobic and treated many alien races excessively (Titus and Princess Heir Yinuo).
Therefore, the Human Empire was never short of enemies.
Unfortunately, Wu Wei was immediately ridiculed by Han Xuan.
“You're too simplistic, kid.”
“When did I say that the Night King and the Ascension Species' goal was to obtain human territory?”
Hearing Han Xuan's words, Wu Wei couldn't help but pause.
Then, a terrifying answer came from Han Xuan's mouth.
“What the Ascension Species truly wants has always been humans!”
“What they truly want is to replace us humans!”
