Chapter 4667
The amount of information was enormous, and Zhang Yi needed time to process it. But his gaze, fixed on the depths of the forest, became even more resolute.
The road ahead remains shrouded in mist, but at least he has gained a more fundamental understanding of himself and his six generations.
Knowing yourself is always the first step to defeating all enemies.
……
The truth revealed by Ling stirred up waves in Zhang Yi's heart that lingered for a long time.
The discussions within the shadow space gradually subsided, as everyone needed time to process this earth-shattering secret concerning their own origins.
Zhang Yi's mind raced, connecting Ling's words, Samael's whispers, and various clues from the past.
A clear logical chain gradually formed in his mind.
"I understand……"
Zhang Yi muttered to himself, his eyes sharp as knives.
"The Creator created six generations of us, and the reason why He chose to incorporate the genes of the Drucker people was because He valued their almost immortal and tenacious vitality."
"It's like... like grafting the genes of the most stubborn weeds onto crops, hoping that the new varieties will retain the controllability of crops while also possessing the survival ability of weeds."
He looked at his hands, as if he could see through to the secrets hidden deep within his genes.
"He needs a knife that is tough enough to last no matter what, to accomplish the almost impossible task of eliminating the Druckers. Because we have inherited the Druckers' tenacity in our bones, making us difficult to completely eradicate."
However, his tone immediately took on a cold, mocking edge:
"However, the Creator clearly left a contingency plan. He gave us Drucker souls, but only a weak and feeble shell."
"It's like trying to kill an elephant by driving ants. Ants may be small, and they might succeed if they work together, but a single ant is ultimately no match for an elephant."
"He both wants us to succeed and fears that if we succeed, we will become a more troublesome entity than the Druckers—a new species with the tenacity of the Druckers, but not entirely under his control."
This deduction made the atmosphere in the shadow space heavy again.
If that's the case, then their situation is not just dangerous, but desperate.
They were working for an employer who both wanted them to win and might destroy them once they did.
An even more terrifying thought, like a cold, venomous snake, quietly coiled around Zhang Yi's mind:
"So... once the Drucker, this nail, has been completely devoured by us ants, and we've lost our usefulness, what will the Creator do with us? Will He let us drift, or... like a cleaning tool, wipe us out as well?"
"It's most likely the latter," Zhang Yi thought.
The thought sent chills down his spine.
He shook his head violently, as if trying to banish this overly dark speculation from his mind.
"It's too early to think about these things now. Even if we guess Kaga's purpose, what can we do if we have no power to resist?"
He told himself, and his gaze became firm again.
"The most urgent task is to survive and become stronger. Only by having sufficient power can we have a voice in any future changes. Otherwise, we won't even qualify to be pawns."
He composed himself and brought his attention back to reality. The Dark Sun Forest was fraught with danger, and he couldn't afford to dwell on worries about the future for long.
"We've rested enough, it's time to set off."
Upon hearing the instruction, Brian immediately perked up, pressing his nose to the ground and carefully discerning the faint traces of life remaining in the air.
"Over here, the scents of Burning Bones and that blind girl are still there, though they're fainter, but the direction is right."
The two people and the dog continued their journey through the dark and eerie forest.
The surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate, with twisted trees gradually being replaced by jagged rocks, and the ground hardening.
