The Empress Is Gigolo 784 A Buried History

Anyone who was called a name like this wouldn't be able to ignore it.

Furthermore, it wasn't only the herdsmen who called them this, the members of those foreign races had done so as well.

It was inevitably a.s.sociated with negative connotations.

Ren Baqian grunted softly without opening his mouth and tried to organize his thoughts. He put the empress's hand on his chest to feel the touch of her palm and said slowly, "That herdsman didn't say much, but he pointed out that your people didn't live here originally and were exiled.

As soon as Ren Baqian said these words, the empress stiffened her body, her hand tightened, and a cold atmosphere enveloped her.

He was recalling what that herdsman had said as he continued, "Humans are a race that has deeply ingrained bad habits. They are greedy without limit, are ignorant and recalcitrant, repeat the same mistakes over and over again, always crave more material goods, are full of lies and hypocrisy, are treacherous, like to make promises and are good at betrayal, forget righteousness when seeking benefits, invoke wars without being able to accept the consequences, are a collection of people who behave badly, and are full of contradictions."

Ren Baqian didn't know whether this knowledge of the human race came from that herdsman or from the other races and didn't say this out.

Furthermore, he didn't agree with it.

It was indisputable that humans had many shortcomings.

At the same time, humans had many virtues, such as feelings, creativity, and wisdom, which the ruthless herdsmen couldn't understand.

He didn't know what had happened, but his opinion was that humans were driven here and that there were only two possibilities. One possibility was that they lost a war.

This was in line with that phrase about invoking war and not being able to bear the consequences.

The other possibility was that there was compet.i.tion for living s.p.a.ce.

After all, the ability of humans to reproduce and their learning capabilities were amazing.

Besides these, Ren Baqian didn't think it was possible for the entire race to be exiled.

The empress tensed up and Ren Baqian could feel her anger, but she didn't flare up. After a while, she calmed down and asked, "Who was responsible for exiling them?"

"The other party said that there are thousands of races. I wonder whether there are actually thousands of races, but I'm sure that there are many races. Although the other party didn't say, if I'm not mistaken, there's a vast world on the other side of the Sixty Thousand Mountains. These herdsmen were border guards that prevented humans from crossing the border. As for those foreigners, they may have had the same mission, but perhaps they were isolated from their tribes for too long and forgot their responsibilities.

This is ancient history and so old that even those races whose lifespans are much longer than humans have forgotten about their responsibilities and even about their countries."

At this point, Ren Baquan suddenly laughed and said, "I know one more thing that you will find very unexpected."

The empress turned to look at him.

"The aboriginals, Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation are all humans that belong to the same race," Ren Baqian continued. The empress suddenly realized an issue.

Previously, it was never doubted that the aboriginals, the citizens of Great Xia, and the inhabitants of the Yun Nation were totally different.

They had always viewed each other as different races.

However, according to the information from that herdsman, the aboriginals and the people from the other countries actually belonged to the same race.

The enemies had suddenly become her own people, and the empress found this to be hard to accept.

"The aboriginals were guards…" Ren Baqian's words. .h.i.t her like a stone to the head, and she felt a bit dizzy.

Were her people, who were regarded as barbarians, previously guards?

What Ren Baqian said made her feel like laughing.

However, she couldn't laugh out loud.

She was grieving.

Based on what Ren Baqian said, if humans were driven here, the aboriginals, who were the strongest, used the Sixty Thousand Mountains as a barrier and stayed here generation after generation while competing with beasts for survival.

The rest of the humans established their civilizations in the north and regarded the aboriginals as uncultured barbarians that were oppressed by the Hao Nation.

This was so ridiculous that it made her feel like crying.

The empress suppressed her emotions and asked dejectedly, "Is this true?"

n.o.body who heard this could remain calm.

"Part of it is based on what he said, while part of it I surmised from what he said. The accuracy should be pretty high," Ren Baqian replied. Even he felt that this fact was saddening.

"The humans at that time were most likely divided into two genotypes. One of them was the ancestor of the aboriginals and possessed a genetically strong physical bloodline. The other was like those people who follow the spiritual path." Ren Baqian phrased it as physical and spiritual development.

The empress raised her head, looked steadily at Ren Baqian, and asked again, "In that case, how come n.o.body knows about this? Even after a long time, it's impossible that no record was left behind."

She didn't know whether or not to believe Ren Baqian.

"There was a contract. The various races didn't exterminate the humans because the humans were able to fight to the death and could cause great damage to them. The various races didn't want the humans to fight back repeatedly and therefore forced the remaining human experts to sign a contract.

Humans would have to forget all the information related to this and weren't allowed to record anything.

This contract was applicable to all human beings.

In this way, the matter was buried in history after the first few generations had pa.s.sed away.

Of course, not everything was buried in history and some clues might have been left behind.

"Is this why the previous emperor suddenly disappeared with a large army in the depths of the Sixty Thousand Mountains?" The empress thought of this as a possibility that offered an explanation. The previous emperor had found something, which was why he suddenly went on his expedition.

Ren Baqian nodded.

This should be the reason.

This was a big achievement.

Ren Baqian was getting more interested in investigating what had happened then.

Although a contract was signed, with human wisdom, there was a way to get around it.

There were no written words or records, and the previous emperor suddenly disappeared after attaining the Longevity Heaven level. Therefore, the events could be deduced.

This unknown history could only be probed when the realm of Longevity Heaven was achieved.

This meant that those from the foreign races were extremely powerful.

The Longevity Heaven realm had to be attained before humans could access this history. This was also to prevent humans from hastily going back when they weren't strong enough.

The injuries suffered by the human experts at that time were very serious, and it was unknown how much time they spent recuperating here. Humans didn't improve their strength, but in fact, they regressed. There were fewer and fewer Longevity Heaven level experts.

Ren Baqian guessed that the conditions here were different from the original area, like the differences in spiritual energies that were mentioned in novels. Therefore, this region served as a place for exile and was why human experts became less and less numerous.

It was precisely for this reason that the previous emperor didn't leave any records and took those fierce warriors to seek answers about this stretch of history.

It was all due to the lucky coincidence that the herdsman thought he was definitely going to win. Otherwise, Ren Baqian didn't know when they would have been able to access this stretch of missing history.

They might have had to wait until the empress made a breakthrough to the Longevity Heaven realm in order to find out.

They might not have even discovered it when the empress achieved that realm.

"In the belly of the Sixty Thousand Mountains!" The empress seemed to discover something.

Ren Baqian nodded and said, "I also think the same."

That year, the previous emperor entered the belly of Mount Liucui and fought with those living there. After coming back, they disappeared after a short time.

The most likely possibility was that the previous emperor had learned something there.

"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do after knowing all of this?" Ren Baqian asked eagerly.

If he didn't know about this matter, it would be fine, but after knowing it, he was very eager to find out what the other side of the Sixty Thousand Mountains was really like.

The empress was fl.u.s.tered, her chest heaved, and she took a long time before reluctantly saying, "I don't know!"

"Everything points to the fact that humans do not have the ability to go back now," Ren Baqian said slowly. Even getting out of this area in the Sixty Thousand Mountains might be a problem. Just getting logistical supplies was simply unachievable.

He also didn't know where the previous emperor went with those troops and whether they managed to get out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains.

So what if they got out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains? Outside were the various races who were hostile. What would their response be if they found out that these were the humans who were previously driven off.

Ren Baqian didn't think that the other side would forget this history.

Then, his tone changed as he added, "But in a few decades, perhaps we can fill the sky with satellites and fly back there in airplanes! That would be bound to surprise those people from the foreign races."

Ren Baqian really wanted to see their expression when the sky was filled with fighter planes, bombers, helicopters, and reconnaissance planes operated by humans.

The premise was that the other side didn't have an expert who was as powerful as G.o.d.

However, the other side was very powerful and managed to force humans to sign a contract that restricted them.

At that time, only about 100,000 humans were left.

However, this made 100,000 humans bury their history and leave no public record. Besides the willingness of these humans, there was also the power of the contract.

The other side definitely possessed greater power than he imagined.

He wondered whether Earth could develop a Star Destroyer in a century or two.
