Chapter 799 Prometheus's Fire

"Have you ever heard of the Fire Thief?"

"I've never heard of it, what is that?"

"It's a guy named Prometheus... There is a race called humans. They have lived in darkness for a long time. They have no fire to grill food and can only eat raw food. Without fire for lighting, they have to live in the endless darkness. , spending one long night after another..."

"Uh, isn't darkness bad?"

"Some races find darkness bad."

"Is there such a race?"

"Yes, humans are... In order to help humans, Prometheus stole fire for them and brought light to humans."

"Ah, Prometheus is such a bad thing, seducing humans into turning their backs on darkness."

"Yeah, he was a bad guy, so he was punished later."

"Okay, he deserves to be punished! Such a bad guy should be severely punished! What next?"

"Then the fire will wander into the world. That flame is the fire."

"..."

Both voices were silent for a moment.

"Really? That fire is kindling?"

"Yes, it is still performing its mission, bringing 'light' to all races."

"..."

The two voices were silent for a while.

"Prometheus, he is a heinous sinner!"

"Heinous crime!"

…

Tinder doesn't know what is right and what is wrong.

All it knows is to bring creatures out of the darkness.

"Darkness is a bad thing." Its master Prometheus said to it.

Darkness is a huge gap between wildness and civilization. Only by burning away the darkness can those wild creatures step onto the road to civilization.

Humanity was the first race it "saved".

This race is very obedient and has no resistance. Their wildness is not heavy. They only need a little guidance and they will spontaneously stay away from the darkness and get closer to the light.

For those humans who like darkness, fire will keep burning them until they "fall in love with light."

With the efforts of Tinder, there are fewer and fewer humans who like the dark, and the remaining ones are "cowards" who are afraid of the dark.

These well-behaved humans are the humans that Tinder wants to see.

The coward gene has become dominant, and these humans who are close to the light are multiplying more and more. Thanks to the heat and light brought by fire, they will make leaps and bounds and accelerate into the civilized era.

The first time humans understood "combustion" was when the first fire was raised using fire.

From then on, the word "burning" will be used throughout human civilization.

Burning wood, coal, gas... The entire human civilization is based on "combustion". It is based on the first fire ignited by fire, and it will continue to burn.

Fire, you have completed your mission...

But its owner did not give it another mission.

Prometheus has disappeared, and fire has been wandering in the human world for a long time. In this civilization that has dispersed darkness, it cannot find the meaning of its existence at all.

So, it left humans...

"Find a darker place."

Soon, the fire was found, a world full of darkness.

Everything here is made of darkness, even the creatures are part of the darkness.

Huozhong immediately realized that this place had a lot to offer.

It can finally carry out its mission again.

This time, it chose a race that fell completely into darkness.

Fire believes that its arrival will completely save this race and allow them, like humans, to embark on the path of civilization and spread light and heat throughout the world.

However, when it came into contact with this race, it discovered that this race was so stubborn.

They do not have the coward gene like humans, nor do they have a yearning for light. They dislike light and admire darkness from the bottom of their hearts.

They don't like cooked food, they don't like warmth, they don't like the sense of security that light brings them, and they don't like the beauty that illuminates everything.

This group of wild creatures even think that they are part of the darkness. They have high intelligence, can make tools and weapons, and have a simple social form, but they do not understand the convenience brought by the light.

"We don't need it."

Why not? Isn’t light good?

Fire has presented the beauty of light to this race more than once, and spared no effort to tell this race of various benefits.

Rapidly developing civilization and technology, more powerful power, and the ability to control the world are all at your fingertips as long as you embrace the light.

Darkness is not an important thing. A light shine will dispel all the shadows and leave nothing behind.

The fire shows its power, telling this wild race about the current situation of mankind and painting a wonderful picture of the future for them.

With the wisdom of this race itself and its assistance, they can quickly occupy the entire world and make everything "beautiful".

However, the race still refused.

They told Tinder that without the help of Tinder, the world is inherently dark and will always remain dark.

"The darkness will continue to expand with time and space, and we will continue to grow. Although it will be a long, long time, we will coexist with the darkness."

"The beauty you describe is not the beauty we need."

"What we need is not burning..."

After being rejected again and again, the fire seed finally realized that this creature could not be persuaded.

They were born in the eternal night, their power came from darkness, and everything they evolved was to adapt to darkness, even their thoughts were completely in line with darkness.

This race, with its bad roots from darkness all over its body, is wild and stubborn, and can never be shaken by persuasion.

"Only by burning off their connection with darkness can we change their views."

The fire seed will not give up so easily. During the period of human civilization, it has burned so many stubborn elements, burning those genes that advocate darkness cleanly, and burning humans to be close to light from the bottom of their hearts. How could it abandon its mission because of this little setback?

It decided to give this race a big fire.

"Burn!"

"Burn the hair that hides dirt!"

"Burn the claws stained with blood!"

"Burn the tail that represents barbarism!"

"Burn the wildness that hinders reason!"

"Burn the obsession of being a beast!"

"Burn the stubborn pride!"

"Burn the reckless inferiority!"

"Burn the soul that yearns for darkness!"

It wants to burn this race thoroughly into a race that yearns for light, and burn this world into the image in its mind.

"I will complete my mission."

"Save those creatures trapped in darkness!"

"Bring light to the world."

As for this stubborn race...

"They will definitely understand my painstaking efforts..."

"Just like what Prometheus did to humans, humans will eventually praise him, worship him, and regard him as a symbol of revolution."

"They will understand me..."
