Chapter 1714 The Weight Of Time
The man raised his head to look in the direction of the passageway and said, "Are you here to kill me? You still don't like me."
Xiang Nan's heart ached. He knew that this man was referring to the fog toxin. He thought that Xiang Nan had brought the fog and wanted to kill all the beasts here.
"No" Xiang Nan hesitated, but he didn't know how to explain.
The fog wasn't brought in by Xiang Nan, but it was indeed brought in by humans.
Xiang Nan sighed bitterly and said, "I must tell you honestly. Actually, you still haven't got the answer you want."
"Because I am no longer the human that you know. We are another group of humans after countless years."
The man lowered his head and said, "Really? That's too regretful."
He had waited for countless years, but in the end, there was no one he wanted to wait for.
Xiang Nan said, "However, humans don't have that much hatred for fierce beasts anymore. There are many new fierce beasts that you don't know about outside."
"There are also many new humans like me that you don't know. Although we are still fighting, there is no hatred mixed within. It's just the most primitive. Both sides are fighting for the benefit of their race."
Next, the man lowered his head and said something very light, so light that Xiang Nan almost couldn't hear him clearly.
It was also these words that struck straight into Xiang Nan's heart! It gave him an incomparable shock.
The man lowered his head and said, "Really? That's great."
Such a simple sentence made Xiang Nanru feel like he was struck by lightning. He could no longer hold back his tears as they slowly flowed down his cheeks.
The man smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to see me."
Xiang Nan took two steps back and bowed deeply to the man. "No, I should be thanking you for giving me the opportunity to apologize on behalf of humanity."
"I'm sorry."
Humans created ferocious beasts, but they didn't tell them what was right or wrong and what to do. Humans simply hoped that ferocious beasts could fight for humans.
In other words, the relationship between humans and ferocious beasts was similar to the relationship between humans and lightning bulls.
Humans didn't know why they were being destroyed. The lightning bull never answered any questions from humans. It only came when it was time to come. After killing all humans, it left.
However, none of the humans actually asked the beasts why they wanted to reproduce. No one actually knew about the beasts' reproduction, and they only wanted to do humans a small favor!
Humans disdained to ask these questions. They did not believe that fierce beasts could understand these things. They only discovered that the fierce beasts had made mistakes, so they wanted to exterminate this horrible group of monsters.
These ferocious beasts were about to die, and they didn't know why they were killed.
In the forest, large patches of golden beasts fell like wheat harvesters. They gradually faded away in the fog and disappeared.
Xiang Nan clenched his fists tightly. He didn't know how to redeem these ferocious beasts.
In this river of time, humans were as confused as fierce beasts. It was unknown how far they had been, nor how long they would be in the future.
Time, the future, is a black river that is never known.
Every human was groping their way through this black river, not knowing where they were heading.
The beastman smiled and said, "I'm getting more and more familiar with the smile."
"I want to ask you what the outside world is like now."
"The sky is very blue," Xiang Nan said.
The man said, "Really? That's great. I really want to go take a look."
He said, "Before we were abandoned by the Creator, the son of the Grand Elder, who looked exactly like me, said something to me. Now, I want to give it to you as well."
He looked seriously into Xiang Nan's eyes and said, "The future of mankind is uncertain. There is no light in the darkness of the future. The bull of lightning may appear at any time."
"However, thank you for accompanying us humans through such a difficult and confusing period. I am very glad to have you with me."
Xiang Nan lowered his head and clenched his fists desperately. His fingernails were pinched into his flesh and blood.
He tried his best to close his eyes, but his tears fell to the ground. The sparkling tears fell to the ground, turning into splashes of water.
The man grabbed Xiang Nan's shoulder and said, "I'm going to tell you the next few words myself."
"You said that the sky outside is very blue. I'm happy for you. You've finally welcomed peace and are no longer afraid of the threat of the lightning bull."
"It's a pity that in the end, we were unable to help you and complete our mission. We didn't have the chance to help you fight against the lightning bull."
"It's also a pity that I can't accompany you through the River of Time. I can't accompany you anymore. I'm going to die soon."
"Please smile and wave goodbye to me. I want to see the human smile again."
Xiang Nan wiped his tears and tried his best to give him a brilliant smile, but his tears still flowed uncontrollably.
The man suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out his own eyes. He handed them to Xiang Nan and said, "I have lived here for an unknown amount of time. I'm really lonely."
"If possible, please take my eyes and leave. Put my eyes under the blue sky and let me see the outside world."
Xiang Nan choked as he caught the pair of golden eyeballs and carefully placed them into his storage ring.
The man who had lost his eyes smiled and said, "Are you waving goodbye to me?"
The fog was coming, and he was like a flower that continued to wither, falling from the ground, becoming more and more transparent.
Xiang Nan nodded forcefully and waved his right hand goodbye to him, saying, "Yes, I'm waving goodbye to you."
The man's head began to turn transparent. He finally managed to squeeze out a standard, sunniest smile. "I'm learning your smile. It's so warm."
"Goodbye, human."
He also waved his hand, and gradually, his entire body disappeared.
The forest was quiet again.
Xiang Nan sat down dejectedly against this big tree, dumbfounded.
In the distance, in the dense golden forest, the number of golden ferocious beasts rapidly declined, and there were few left. Soon, this group of golden ferocious beasts that had accompanied humans would become the dust of history.
Xiang Nan felt powerless in his heart and sighed inwardly. What a sad and cruel period of time.
In this world, the last remaining primitive vicious beasts had finally come to an end, ending their fates.
In this world, there was no longer such a pure and spotless primitive beast. What was left was the group of fierce beasts in the Eternal Secret Realm that harbored hatred towards humans and already possessed flesh and blood bodies.
Why did this happen?
If the humans of the ancient era were willing to spend time teaching the beasts so that they could learn more, would the result still be the same as today?
It may be worse, but there may be a different twist.
"Xiang Nan!"
From afar, Bai Hua's cold laughter could be heard.
"All of the golden beasts are dead. You have no other way to retreat. Come out and die."
Xiang Nan touched his storage ring. He stood up and walked resolutely towards the passageway with the huge saber in his hand.
"I won't die here," he murmured. "I'm leaving with his eyes. I have to show him the outside world."
