I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 284 - 283: The Secret History of the Human Race from

Qin Yang searched his mories.

Damn!

Forget seeing it.

After all the ti he’d spent slacking off in the library, he’d found zero records on the matter. Not even a single scrap of information....

Massive black holes hung high above everyone’s heads.

Yet everyone had gotten used to them, treating them as a part of daily life. Even the vast ocean of historical records seed to mislead everyone.

’It’s as if soone... erased that part of history!’

"Heh, isn’t it perfectly normal for there to be no records?"

Upon hearing this, ng Tianxuan simply chuckled, as if stating a simple fact. He then altered the Star Force projection in his hands.

The next mont.

HUMMM—

The Star Curtain shifted, forming into the nine black holes of the sky.

Countless phantom-like teors shot out from them, trailing streams of light like cots as they plumted straight to the ground, shattering entire mountain ranges.

"Back then, these nine black holes in the sky were unstable. The experts from the Alien Race who crossed over from another plane were completely unprepared. During their transit, they suffered a karmic backlash from the Celestial Dao and were all grievously wounded!"

ng Tianxuan reached out and pointed to one area of the Star Curtain, zooming in on the details for Qin Yang.

Where the teor had fallen, an oval, fluorescent sac had taken root deep within the mountain before being buried by collapsing rock and soil.

"Their near-death state forced Them to fall into a deep slumber. anwhile, we, the native creatures of Earth Star, received a blessing in disguise. This surge of the Power of Stars allowed us to unlock the path of Martial Arts Cultivation... to truly commune with the Heaven and Earth Laws."

"So that’s how it was..."

As Qin Yang listened, he watched the area around the fluorescent sacs. All life was budding and reviving, nourished as if by a whale fall. The world’s creatures were breaking free from their shackles.

The world of man prospered.

"During that ti, the Human Race thrived. Countless experts rose, and brilliant talents erged one after another... But alas, the good tis did not last..."

ng Tianxuan sighed, his brow furrowed with sorrow, and retracted the Star Curtain.

"Five hundred years later, those experts from the black holes awoke once more, bringing with them an absolutely supre, crushing might.

They intended to enslave and farm the Human Race, even establishing powerful factions! They used Star Force to transform wild beasts, granting sentience to those creatures, all to suppress the Human Race’s montum and wantonly slaughter us..."

"?"

Qin Yang’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"They bullied the Human Race like that? Did they really think we have no backbone?"

"Yes! The ancestors of the Human Race thought the exact sa thing!"

ng Tianxuan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched in anger. "We must fight back! We will never be sacrificial dogs, penned and raised for slaughter!"

He continued in a hoarse voice:

"Qin Yang, do you have any idea... that world-spanning war raged for three whole years? The very mountains and rivers were reshaped, countless Star Martial Artists sacrificed themselves one after another, the land was soaked crimson, and it beca a scene of corpse mountains and blood seas."

As ng Tianxuan spoke,

images flashed before Qin Yang’s eyes.

It was as if he could see that tumultuous, heroic age.

His ancestors, brandishing swords and spears, clashed with the invading experts from the Exotic Realm. The world crumbled around them in a tragic and brutal spectacle.

"After that, the Human Race paid an enormous price. Countless founding sect masters, innurable peerless geniuses... only through their sacrifice were we finally able to deter those experts from the black holes..."

ng Tianxuan’s voice was filled with sorrow, his Adam’s apple bobbing. "No one knows how many prosperous ancient kingdoms were caught in the crossfire, annihilated by the aftershocks of the battle.

From that point on, a chasm appeared in the historical record."

As he spoke,

he looked at Qin Yang and said, "If you want to find any historical records now, you’ll only find faint traces of that great war in the ruins of certain dead civilizations. The only other place is within my Venerable Alliance."

As his voice faded,

the air fell silent.

"..."

Qin Yang frowned, deep in thought.

’This is an insane amount of information!

I’ll need so ti to digest all this.’

"Then why don’t you spread the word?"

Qin Yang asked in a low voice, "The sacrifices our ancestors made—their stories should be rembered by everyone."

"Spread the word?"

ng Tianxuan gave a bitter smile. "The issues involved are not so simple that they can just be revealed."

"Think about it, Qin Yang. A world beyond the black holes, with experts above the Celestial Venerable Realm... and They see the Human Race as livestock to be fard and enemies to be suppressed. If that news got out, what do you think would happen?"

"You an..."

Qin Yang’s eyelid twitched. "It would cause a worldwide panic?"

"Exactly!"

ng Tianxuan turned to gaze at the distant, glittering lights of the city. "You have to understand, a millennium has passed. The mory of that war has faded. Our entire social structure is built upon the Power of Stars. In a way... aren’t we and our enemy from the very sa source?"

As he spoke,

he displayed the Star Force in his hand.

"The Power of Stars isn’t just the foundation for Martial Artists; it’s the lifeblood countless citizens depend on. From the mont people first learned to channel its power, they beca unable to live without it."

Hearing this, Qin Yang looked a little dazed.

’Now I get why the Venerable Alliance suppressed this information.’

’People are all different. Every citizen would see this from their own perspective. So would resist, others would approve, and the world would fracture. It’d be like a city suddenly losing all its power. The chaos would be unimaginable!’

"But once you suppressed those experts, the situation must have improved, right?"

As his thoughts reached this point, Qin Yang asked, "Surely you could have revealed so of it?"

"Heh, you’re still thinking too simplistically."

ng Tianxuan shook his head. "Although the experts from the black holes were suppressed.

The organization They founded survived. It was passed down through the generations and evolved into today’s Beast God Sect. And my Venerable Alliance was what our ancestors created to be the counterasure against them."

"The Venerable Alliance... is the counterasure?"

At these words, Qin Yang’s expression turned odd. He shot a sidelong glance at ng Tianxuan, suddenly feeling a wave of pity for the ancestors who had sacrificed everything.

’Unbelievable!’

’They went through hell and high water, gathered the best and brightest, and finally created an organization like the Venerable Alliance.’

’And its lineage was passed down through the ages...’

’Which previous Venerable Alliance Leader wasn’t a man of honor?’

’And look at it now!’

’It gets passed down to ng Tianxuan’s generation,’

’and he turns out to be a sanctimonious hypocrite!!’

"I truly feel sorry for your Venerable Alliance."

Qin Yang shook his head, staring straight at ng Tianxuan with a smirk. "TSK, TSK," he clicked his tongue. "To think that your ancestors sacrificed themselves one after another, only for it to fall into the hands of a piece of work like you and end up like this?"

"Never mind you inexplicably bullying my Heaven-Blasting Gang, all you know how to do is throw your weight around, picking on a junior like . Did a dog eat the Venerable Alliance’s legacy?!"

"You! Do not insult my Venerable Alliance!!"

ng Tianxuan’s expression flickered. He opened his mouth to retort, but after a mont’s hesitation, he refrained. Instead, he just let out a heavy sigh.

"Young Master Qin, I have no choice! If I don’t do this... the entire future of Earth Star will be ruined!!"
