Chapter 213 Blazing Fire! Red fire!
Chapter 213 Blazing Fire! Red fire!
Shi Chu looked at the vigorous old man in front of him. His old eyes were bright and shining like stars, and his eyes were full of sincerity and truth.
That straight spine has never bent despite going through wind and rain.
She stood up, her body straight, her expression serious, and solemnly extended her right hand to hold the old hand.
"Thank you."
She looked at the old man deeply and said softly, "Teacher."
The two people's eyes met in the air.
Dongfang Qunyu smiled with relief and joy. She acknowledged her teacher's identity, which also meant that she did not care about the deception and concealment in the past.
"Sit down. There may be some things you don't understand. Let me explain them to you."
"Ah."
The two men loosened their clenched hands and sat back in their original seats.
"After the great war, the alliance's top leaders and most of its combat power were sacrificed, taking with them more than 90% of the star beasts. This should be a perfect opportunity. As long as the remaining humans unite, it is very likely that all the star beasts will be wiped out."
"But the reality is the opposite. Everything is going in a direction that the Alliance never thought of. You should know that, like that plan, genetic modification was also forced, covering almost all humans at the time. Except for those underage children, most people underwent genetic modification."
"After going through terrible pain, less than one in ten people can successfully complete the transformation and survive. Among those who succeed, those who perform well or above will be forcibly conscripted into the army by the Alliance and sent to the front lines. The rest will be sent back to where they came from."
"Many people lost their relatives, friends, and loved ones in this process. Their hearts were already filled with dissatisfaction and resentment. It was only because of the alliance's forced suppression and the imminent threat of the star beasts that they did not resist."
When Dongfang Qunyu said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at the person opposite him.
She was also forcibly conscripted, and perhaps she has some resentment in her heart.
Shi Chu noticed the other person's eyes and just smiled slightly.
She had chosen this path herself, although she had not expected it to turn out like that. She fell into endless pain and finally became a killing machine without self.
But she also fulfilled the oath she made and successfully killed the king beast and so many star beasts, which could be considered revenge for everyone.
She does not regret her original choice, and if she had the chance to do it again, she would make the same choice.
She couldn't do nothing.
As for the Alliance, she was born in fire, grew up in fire, and... died in fire.
That was everything she once was, her home, and she didn't blame the alliance for their choice because it was the only way out.
For her at that time, that place was her only place.
Everything she did was not for the purpose of saving humanity. Initially, she just wanted to avenge everyone in the orphanage. However, as she experienced war after war, and as many familiar people fell around her, her desire became stronger and stronger. She didn't want anyone familiar to die anymore.
She is not a saint, she just wants to protect the people she wants to protect, her friends, relatives, and comrades.
She longed to end all the suffering, let the dawn of peace shine again on that devastated land, and restore peace to her homeland.
According to the content of the Changming Plan, as an executive officer, I must perish along with the Blue Star and disappear into the universe with those star beasts.
Since death is her destined ending, let's leave hope to others.
So at the last moment, she struggled to regain consciousness, and then died together with the king beast without hesitation, ending everything.
But, everything didn't seem as good as I thought.
Today, the Federation is still fighting against the star beasts, countless people are still dying, and the star beasts are still wreaking havoc in the universe.
She couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, and her tone was a little sarcastic: "So, they fell into internal turmoil after losing the control of the alliance?"
"Yes." Dongfang Qunyu retracted her gaze and nodded. The other party did not seem to be as dissatisfied as she had imagined. Perhaps this was also the reason why this child was so lovable. She was too sensible, so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Those hardships only tempered her soul and body, but did not knock her down. Instead, they turned into her strength and forged her unique qualities, attracting everyone to come closer to her.
The same goes for myself.
"After the Changming Plan, the alliance existed in name only. Without external threats and strong military force to suppress them, some people saw an opportunity and began to stir up trouble and fan the flames. They took advantage of the chaotic situation and ignited the resentment and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people. People everywhere were resisting, rioting, and grabbing resources. Among the remaining troops, some people took the lead in separatist forces and formed their own forces. Some even reached out to those who participated in the Spark Plan, snatching those children and bringing them under their command to train."
"All of a sudden, various forces emerged, and many small regimes emerged like mushrooms after rain. They divided the land and ruled each other, attacking or allying with each other, and the signs of chaos were evident. In this way, mankind ushered in a chaotic period."
The Age of Troubles was the darkest time in human history, a dark time thousands of times more cruel than when the Alliance still existed.
Without the constraints of rules, the bottom line of morality has been trampled upon time and time again, the strong bully the weak at will, justice is buried in the abyss of darkness, and no one dares to speak for the truth.
The ugliness of human nature is infinitely magnified, selfishness, greed, and cruelty are everywhere. The warmth and kindness of the past are gone, leaving only coldness and desolation.
The whole world is shrouded in endless gloom, with no glimmer of hope. Violence and bloodshed have become the norm of life, and people are struggling to survive in fear.
There are wars and riots everywhere. The remaining star beasts are no longer their biggest threat, but their own kind are.
The strong treat the weak as playthings, bullying and killing them at will, while the weak struggle in hell and reach out to the weaker ones. In this way, the whole world has turned into purgatory.
Order collapsed, rules were broken, morality was lost, and conscience was obscured.
Civilization is no more.
The blazing fire completely disappeared in the universe, and on its ruins, humans fought and plundered each other, as if they had been assimilated by the star beast genes in their bodies. Humanity and reason retreated, leaving only animal greed and brutality.
The spark of wisdom gradually died out in this ruin, civilization regressed, and only instinctive drive and endless fighting remained, turning this place into a paradise for wild beasts.
The destruction of a civilization often happens in an instant, but its birth takes thousands of years.
Until a thousand years later, a certain human being, under his guidance and help, rose up step by step, and then spent dozens of generations to develop his power and grow into a behemoth.
After unremitting efforts, at a perfect time, they united the six strongest families at that time and various forces and strong men, and finally succeeded in establishing a new regime for mankind, dispelling chaos and darkness, and re-establishing order and civilization.
In keeping with Chihuo's legacy, this new human regime was named the Chihuo Human Federation.
The red fire was born on the corpse of the scorching fire.
This is the origin of red fire.
The blazing flame will never go out, and the red flag will never fall.
