Chapter 189 – Disaster and Change

The [Calamity Child], Lu, had seriously pondered a question: what was the meaning of the existence of Evolved Humans in this world? However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t find an answer.

Perhaps, Evolved Humans are just residual poison left over from the previous era.

The theme of the previous era was to obtain powerful strength and protect the continuation of the race. Any sacrifice made for this purpose was understandable.

However, now, the Zhu Huo People have achieved ultimate victory, and the world is under the rule of the Zhu Huo People. This means that the Zhu Huo People no longer actually need the group of Evolved Humans.

Evolved Humans are merely remnants from the transition of the previous era to the new one. Having lost their meaning, they will eventually disappear.

The [Calamity Child], Lu, embarked on a journey alone, visiting many places and meeting many people. He also pondered for a long time until he was fifty years old, when he finally understood many things.

The world has been constantly changing, and the Zhu Huo People have also been progressing. Many new and wonderful things have emerged from all over the world, allowing the Zhu Huo People to live better lives. Only the eight Evolution sequences of the Evolved Humans remain exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago, with no skills other than killing and devouring.

In their [Seer] ancient legends, a person who would bring disaster and change to the world would be born in the future.

As a [Seer], he initially didn’t understand what this meant. After he figured out these problems, he suddenly grasped the wisdom of his ancestors.

He also realized that someone in this world must play the role of this changer. Rather than waiting until the Zhu Huo People are on their last legs someday in the future to make this change, it would be better to complete this grand transformation now, while the entire group has not yet decayed to its lowest point.

Through him, the [Calamity Child] Lu, to become the prophesied changer. To slaughter all Evolved Humans, and to cleanse the Residual Poison of the previous era.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of his existence!

Originally, he had not yet decided to do this.

But not long ago, he saw a novel item in Anliang City, said to be a Loom capable of speeding up textile production, which originated from a place called Silin City.

He also studied it carefully for a period of time, and was then convinced by the ingenious design and brilliant ideas within the Loom.

The [Calamity Child] Lu believed that this was the future of the Zhu Huo People!

A new era had already begun to emerge.

However, such a magical object was destroyed in a battle involving Evolved Humans.

The [Calamity Child] Lu suddenly realized!

Perhaps, the new era had already arrived! It was the Evolved Humans who were hindering the development of this era!

Thus, the [Calamity Child] Lu made up his mind, through him, starting from Anliang City, to bring disaster to the Evolved Humans and bring about change for the Zhu Huo People.

This world does not need Evolved Humans!

The [Calamity Child] Lu, lost in his thoughts, strolled through the dilapidated streets of Linyuan City, his conviction growing stronger. Tonight, he would cleanse this city of its Residual Poison. He silently thought, “Perhaps this is the mission of the [Residual Poison Person] sequence!”

…

A tall, robust man, shirtless, cleared away the construction waste in an entire area in a single morning. A young boy sat nearby, blankly watching his father work, occasionally helping to clear away small stones and debris.

This was once their home, destroyed in a battle some time ago.

He was just a small Level Two Evolved Human, a Tracker. He had no intention of evolving further. He had always been cautious, never revealing any hint of his true nature. What he wanted was to raise his son well.

When the great battle in Linyuan City first broke out, he saw that the situation was bad and immediately fled Linyuan City with his son, narrowly escaping. However, his wife was separated from them. Now, he had just returned to this place, intending to settle down again, hoping that perhaps his wife might find her way back on her own one day.

The man wiped the sweat from his brow with his towel and took the boy’s hand. “Come on, A Zai, I’ll take you to eat hot, delicious steamed buns! In a few more days, we’ll have a house to live in!”

A Zai immediately jumped up excitedly, “Steamed buns!!”

…

After selling all their vegetables, the old man and the old woman, carrying their empty Blue Particles, returned to their dilapidated home and locked the door.

After resting for a while, the old woman quietly asked, “Old man, do you think our youngest son can still be found?”

The old man spat and said, “We’re already this old, why are you still thinking about him? His fate is his own. It doesn’t matter if he comes back or not!”

The old woman sighed, “Well, we’ll just live here! We can probably wait another ten years or so.”

After a moment of silence, the old woman suddenly said softly, “Old man, I regret becoming an Evolved Human…” The old man immediately interrupted, “What nonsense are you spouting? Be quiet!”

Old lady: “…”

…

Three children, around ten years old, gathered together.

One of the dark-skinned boys looked at the boy with a scar on his forehead and said enviously, “Xiao Ba, have you really become an Evolved Human?”

The scarred boy nodded, “I don’t know what happened. I just took a bite and it happened!”

The dark-skinned boy said, “I’m so envious of you. I heard that eating it might kill people. I wouldn’t dare.”

Another little girl said, “Yeah, I wouldn’t dare either. Xiao Ba, you’re so brave!”

Xiao Ba chuckled foolishly, “It’s just good luck. By the way, you can’t tell anyone.”

…

In Linyuan City, many Evolved Humans still lived.

They were all busy with their own affairs. Although they had been through disasters, their eyes were still full of hope for this city. They all believed that everything would get better and that everyone who was still alive would surely achieve their dreams.

Some Evolved Humans actively sought Evolution in pursuit of power. Killing was the theme of their lives, and they all believed they could ascend to the pinnacle of this world.

Others obtained Evolution unintentionally. Fearing it, they only wanted to hide and carefully avoid letting anyone know their identity, never considering what kind of Evolution they wanted to obtain next.

Still others, during the process of Evolution, found it too dangerous and their lives more important, so they wanted to stop and live a normal life.

But no matter what their wishes were, what thoughts they had in their hearts, how much warmth they carried, or how much love they had for the world, once they swallowed the first bite of Evolved Human flesh and blood and evolved into an Evolved Human, their fate today was sealed.

Because a [Calamity Child], who vowed to kill all Evolved Humans, had already arrived in their city.

No one would be spared!

…

The next day, as dawn broke, the [Calamity Child] Lu slowly walked out of Linyuan City.

In the vast Linyuan City, all the Evolved Humans had died in their sleep, dying without pain.

The first to discover the deaths of these Evolved Humans were their closest relatives.

No matter how heartbrokenly they cried, their loved ones could no longer wake up.

However, this world is just that cruel. No matter who is missing, the sun still rises and sets, as if nothing has changed.

It was precisely at this time that Su Hao arrived near Linyuan City. Upon approaching, he discovered that within the entire Linyuan City, there wasn’t a single Evolved Human with a Blood Qi reaction; everyone’s Blood Qi strength was that of a normal person.

However, Su Hao did gain something. Outside the City, there was a Rank 7 Evolved Human, slowly moving away!

Su Hao revealed a smile and thought to himself, “What a coincidence! It’s the Calamity Child, Lu!”
