Chapter 706 Spreading Around the World
The situation is developing just as Hao Ren guessed: not only the hunting instinct of the demon hunters is fading, but also the innate hostility between other alien species is gradually disappearing. Although before this, the hostility of the younger generations of various heterogeneous races had weakened, it could not be compared with the current situation: the hostility has not weakened, but has completely disappeared.
According to Hesiana, this phenomenon has already occurred in a considerable number of young people in the Athens asylum, and the most prominent groups are mainly concentrated in heterogeneous groups under two hundred years old: for heterogeneous races with long lifespans, It's a pretty young crowd. There are cases where aliens over 200 years old have lost their hostility, but the number is still small and there is no statistics. This phenomenon seems to have nothing to do with the race to which they belong, whether vampires or werewolves, or halflings and shadow demons - as long as it is a race in the sanctuary, this happens at the same time, and the proportion of the population is similar.
"Hesiana said it was like a plague," Vivian muttered while fiddling with her phone. "It's a bit chaotic over there now. Several big families are strictly prohibiting young members from going out. Hesperus and a few The Ancient Ones are stepping in to maintain order.”
"Plague? Isn't this a good thing?" Hao Ren didn't understand. "We used to be reluctant to live in peace, but now we have no sense of hostility from the bottom of our hearts. I think the situation in the shelter should get better. Why aren't people going out? Already?"
Vivian glanced at him: "It would be a good thing if everyone's hostility disappeared, but the key point is that only some of the aliens have this situation happening now - losing hostility is like a demon hunter losing his hunting instinct. It will weaken the ability of ordinary aliens to sense other races and the early warning ability of murderous intentions. Sanctuary is not a peaceful place, and it is not a joke for young people who have lost their early warning ability to wander around the city."
Lily shook her head and complained: "That's why I don't understand. The Mythical Age has collapsed for so many years, and everyone has fallen to this point. They are still scheming and fighting to the death... Can't you control your instincts a little bit?"
Hao Ren glanced at her sideways: "To put it lightly, don't you subconsciously get angry when you see a demon hunter? And you have the ability to control the instinct of eating ribs."
Lily was silent then.
"I'm afraid this phenomenon is spreading to all races on the earth except humans," Vivian pinched her chin with a serious face, "According to Hesiana, they also received intelligence from other shelters through secret channels. , it seems that this situation is happening all over the world, and it is developing faster and faster. She is worried that if this trend continues, not only will the innate hostility of young people disappear, but even the ancients will not be immune... I am afraid that within a few years, the world will All different races will no longer be natural enemies of each other."
"Except for the Siren," Elsa interjected, "We have never had this kind of 'innate hostility' from the beginning, and we have a good relationship with everyone."
When Nangong Sanba heard this, he immediately thought: "Oh, by the way, I have never understood why the sea monsters are the only race that is not affected by hostile instincts?"
Hao Ren had already suspected this: "The only difference between sea monsters and other alien species on earth is that their ancestors have nothing to do with the goddess. This is a purely natural species... This is probably the reason. 'Innate hostility' is in the blood of the goddess's creation. Something to carry. Anyway, no matter what happens, I will always blame the Goddess of Creation, and nine times out of ten, it will be fine."
Vivian was deeply impressed by Hao Ren's serious, responsible and rigorous reasoning attitude, and then kicked him.
Nangong Wuyue looked around at everyone and patted the table happily: "Well, anyway, this is actually a good thing, right? According to this, the world will be peaceful in a few years? The inter-race war that has lasted for more than 10,000 years can finally end. ?”
"Maybe there will be a lot of peace, but it won't be as smooth as you think," Vivian shook her head. "The beginning of the war between different races may have been a phenomenon of 'innate hostility', but it continues to this day and is far from being driven by instinct. After ten thousand years of fighting with each other, various races have long had real grudges. Even if there is no hostility at work, I am afraid that this kind of fighting will continue for many years."
"Once hatred begins, it is difficult to end, especially the hatred between demon hunters and other aliens." Hao Ren nodded sympathetically, and then couldn't help but glance at Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi, "But then again, I'm afraid We must also thank the demon hunters - it is their high pressure that forces other aliens to hide in the shelter and live together, so after the innate hostility disappears, those aliens may become the first ones in the world to unite."
Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi had obviously never thought about this before. They suddenly reacted and looked at each other with a layer of uneasiness in their eyes. Apparently they realized what would be the result of this phenomenon continuing to ferment:
The fragmented heterogeneous races will be the first to unite. The advantage that the demon hunters have long established through the division of heterogeneous species will soon disintegrate. Their numerical disadvantage will be infinitely magnified. Counterattack, and the world will return to the age of myth!
And this time, I'm afraid no one can end this era.
"Don't worry too much," Vivian noticed the change in Yagyu's face, smiled and shook her head, "Those old guys are not fools. When they calm down, they will realize that their era is gone forever. Today's human beings are no longer Those docile servants from the mythical age, if the aliens want to retake this world... they will probably only gain a piece of scorched earth, a scorched earth where all species have disappeared."
Among all the intelligent races on earth, humans are the weakest in physical fitness, but also the craziest and most dangerous. Yzaks once lamented that he has never seen such a kind of being capable of destroying his home. After the world is not enough, we must desperately increase the power to destroy the world more times. In the face of today's human beings, neither aliens nor demon hunters are confident that they can regain dominance of the world - it's not that they can't eliminate humans, but no one can guarantee that humans will not be happy and destroy the entire ecosystem. They were dragged together to be buried together.
Yzaks grinned: "They are just a group of lunatics holding forbidden spells. You are sure to defeat them under any circumstances, and they are also sure to die with you under any circumstances."
"But even if some old guys can think of this, there is no guarantee that all families will be so smart," Vivian pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I will send a message to the ancients I know to explain the current situation. From now on, we will monitor the movements of all heterogeneous families around the world. I believe that in the eyes of families that value blood and seniority, the old guys’ words will still have some effect.”
Lily looked sideways at Vivian: "I always get so old-fashioned at times like this...ah, don't pull my ears!"
"Monitoring these families is only a temporary measure, and it is impossible to control all the forces. There will definitely be chaos," Nangong Sanba said, "And more importantly, it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause - it is impossible to understand the innate hostility. The fundamental reason for the occurrence and disappearance of phenomena is really passive.”
"I don't know how long this delicate balance can last." Liu Sheng didn't quite understand many things Hao Ren and the others said, but he also had his own considerations. "There are too many unstable factors in the world. Today's peace The situation is actually maintained by concealment and high pressure, which..."
"This is not a long-term solution, so there must be a complete solution one day," Hao Ren glanced at him, "but not now."
Everyone continued to discuss the situation for a while. After no further progress was made, Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi said goodbye and left. Before leaving, they agreed to some of Hao Ren's requests. Basically, they acted as spies to make bigger problems within the demon hunters. Just say something when there is movement. As for the current Yagyu duo, they don't mind cooperating with Hao Ren as long as they don't endanger the interests of their own tribe.
"It would be great if I have a chance to contact Hasselblad." After Yagyu and Zhao Xi left, Vivian hugged her arms and looked through the window at the distant sky. "To be honest, this is really a good example of the 'rise' of aliens." The timing... But I don't like the situation of chaos in the world. If the Demon Hunter Group can cooperate... I think this difficulty will be easier to overcome."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just stood silently next to Vivian thinking about his own affairs.
The disappearance of hostility between various races...could it be related to his recent more frequent activities in the dream plane?
