Chapter 48 Seeds and Thieves

Chapter 48 Seeds and Thieves

Thinking about good and evil has existed in human history since its inception. What was born almost at the same time was the religious concept that played a role in explaining the human cognitive world at a time when productivity was not yet developed.

It is unknown when the concept of demons first appeared in human religion.

Relatively speaking, what can be verified is that in the earliest slave society that can be traced back to the early days, descriptions of demons already existed in primitive shamanistic teachings.

What’s even more interesting is that during the Ancient Terra period, despite the thousands of miles between different birthplaces of mankind, the same or similar concepts appeared almost in no particular order in the Shaman sect, the Druid sect, and East Asia. In the Changshengtian Sect.

Such a coincidence may not have attracted human attention at the time. After all, due to communication efficiency issues limited by productivity, most people will never step outside the coverage of their civilization in their lifetime.

However, in the past 30,000 years, human technology and productivity have no longer been the same as the slash-and-burn cultivation of the past. With the development of the times, human footprints have long spread across the galaxy.

Thirty thousand years have passed. With the advancement of science and technology, human beings have spread their sights all over the galaxy. With the support of subspace communication technology, they have been able to maintain an empire with territory all over the galaxy as the political system of the entire race.

When mankind, under the leadership of the Emperor, developed the empire's national power to its second peak since the Golden Age, the Chaos Gods in the warp had long planned a rebellion that affected the entire galaxy, causing the empire of mankind to suffer. Unprecedented trauma.

It was at this time that the scholars and wizards of the empire finally turned their attention to religion, a concept that had been with mankind for thousands of years.

With the demand for faith, the concept of gods was re-examined from ancient human notebooks, and a corresponding derived concept: demons, also began to attract people's attention.

When the most intelligent groups in these empires began to trace the history of mankind because of their religious history, they were vaguely aware of the far-sightedness of the Chaos Gods for mankind in the data preserved over the years. Profound malice.

These projections, which correspond to the original evil deeds of mankind since its birth, have been quietly buried when mankind as a race was still in its infancy.

In the memories of the Chaos Gods, the Eldar were still active at that time. But in the vision created by the gods in their lives of ten thousand years, the days of these spiritual races are numbered.

The previous "field" had already produced the greatest fruit, and Xin Liezhi was born here. What about the next field? Naturally, the seeds symbolizing disaster were planted early.

The Chaos Gods do not need to pay too much. They only need to wait for the seeds of evil to grow with the rise of mankind, and one day they will reap the fruits of disaster that represent the demise of a race.

The Emperor also discovered this problem, but it was too late. According to the recorded information, the possibility of the birth of the Emperor was first recorded after mankind got rid of ignorance.

Therefore, even as divine and great as the Emperor himself, there is nothing that can be done against these seeds that were planted since the barbaric period and grew into a vicious curse parasitic on the entire civilization.

Because the Emperor is also a member of the human race, since he is a human being, in the face of these demons that represent the original sin of mankind, his power can only be limited to injuring and sealing these demons.

These daemons are naturally immune to the forces that come from the Emperor and can utterly destroy them, simply because the Emperor is also of human origin.

Seal is one of the few ways to deal with such a being, but it is only a delay.

As long as human civilization exists, these parasites rooted in the concept of human beings will also exist.

And as humans continue to exist, they will become increasingly difficult to contain.

According to the original destiny of this universe, these seeds will eventually expand beyond control. The day they emerge from their shells is also the time when the Chaos Gods harvest the human race.

When the final moment comes, these fruits will become exclusive weapons like the cursed blade that the gods used to stab Warmaster Horus. Or to put it another way, these demons are essentially Achilles' heel deliberately created by the evil god for mankind.

Destiny cannot be changed, but destiny has its own destiny. Calvin is such a fixed number and also a variable.

When the variable Calvin came to this universe from another world, the original destiny trajectory was naturally changed.

Is Calvin human? Of course he thinks he is.

But is the human being he thinks of really the same concept as the human being born in this universe? Obviously not.

Otherwise, why is the nature of his soul so different from that of these native people?

So when such an outsider claims to be a human being, looks like a human being, but is not a human being in essence, by chance, he has an opportunity to transform from a mortal to a divine being, and truly becomes a possessor. When divinity exists, he naturally has complete control over this originally seemingly unsolvable curse in terms of power.

Did Calvin have divinity? have.

Thus, like the Emperor, he was able to effectively kill these demons.

Is he human? Yes, but he happens to not be a human in this universe, so the original sin represented by the demons has nothing to do with him.

So when Calvin had the opportunity to completely destroy these original demons because of his divine power, they naturally lost the privilege of avoiding death when they faced the emperor.

"I'm sorry, I won't accept this."

Such was the attitude of Calvin's divinity towards these demonic powers. This is also the biggest reason why Calvin deliberately chose his residence here.

Ever since he moved into this room at the bottom of Titan, the fragments that escaped from the great demon's body at the seal deep underground in Titan have been pouring tirelessly in the direction of Calvin.

These fragments were originally insignificant in the eyes of the great demon.

And during the tens of thousands of years it took for this big demon to reach the physical universe, there was really no way for the short-lived species in the physical universe to completely eliminate it.

In the past practice, these fragments derived from it were usually destroyed by the Gray Knight recruits who came for the trial, and then were reborn in the subspace relying on their own concepts. This was the originally established procedure.

And if by luck they are not eliminated, these fragments can also bring back new information about the surface of the earth to the demon.

Although it does not help it to break the seal, it is also a good benefit for it to have news of new things and to kill the boredom caused by a long time.

Therefore, in the eyes of the big demon who has no sense of crisis, releasing these fragments of himself to any living creature on the surface becomes a sure-profit business.

But everything started to change when Calvin came. The fragments that were supposed to return on time happily abandoned their old master after a series of brief and friendly exchanges with Calvin.

After being digested and absorbed, they permanently became a part of Calvin and never had the chance to return to their true form.

Correspondingly, the powers they carry: those powers accumulated from the entire human race and civilization over a long period of time, and that should be handed over to the evil god himself at the end of mankind in the future, are thus added. Wen quietly intercepted it and became the nutrients he needed for his own growth.

The evil gods would be angry about this, if they could catch Calvin, the shameless thief.

However, in countless timelines, Calvin, who is also the only one who exists, has wiped away the traces of his little actions.

Therefore, these farmers who have worked hard to plant seeds in the "field" of mankind in ancient times and plan to wait for the fruits to mature slowly may be destined to never wait for the harvest.

As the old saying goes, who cares? Calvin doesn’t care anyway.
