“???” Qin Muye was befuddled. You can actually divide your power among yourselves?
“No, I think it’s still possible. From your description, it seems this isn’t the first time you ‘World’s Children’ have appeared, but you were dispersed for some unknown reason. So, there must be a way to restore you back to your original state.” Qin Muye instantly realized that the other party was lying.
“Impossible. I have already formed, unless…”
“What if we tried a different experiment. If multiple Martial Arts Wills and Secret Spirits were combined, could they form a whole?” Qin Muye thought these Star Eagles had decent personalities, at least they answered whatever was asked.
“What if I used Blood Rose in combination with a single Sky Eagle Martial Arts, would it create something like a Blood Eagle?” Qin Muye asked again.
“Your idea is good, but Sky Eagle and Starry Sky have already been used and cannot be reused, so naturally, no new World’s Child will form,” said the Star Eagles.
“What are you trying to do? You’re not trying to obtain our power, are you?” the Star Eagles said warily, “If so, you are a step too late. The power we once had has long since been taken by humans, and now the power we possess is drawn from human civilization.”
“Humans were able to do this with the power we shared with them.” The Star Eagles felt it was fine if Qin Muye knew, since their power was already different from what it was in the ancient era.
“By the way, how did humans manage to steal your power back then?” Qin Muye asked curiously.
“I’m just curious. You should have memories too, so let’s hear it.” Qin Muye did not care much, as these Star Eagles were a treasure trove worth delving deeper into.
“I’ve always been curious. You were formed by merging my Sky Eagle Martial Arts Will with the Starry Sky Secret Spirit, so if I were to repeat the process, would it create another one of you?” Qin Muye asked with great curiosity.
“So, it is indeed possible. Tsk, by the way, can you revert to the state of Sky Eagle Martial Arts Will and Starry Sky Secret Spirit?” Qin Muye asked with ill intent.
“Because our power was stolen at that time…” The Star Eagles did not hide anything but explained it from beginning to end.
“I see, you guys are really unlucky.” Qin Muye shook his head; now he also knew how to restore the Sky Eagle Martial Arts Will and Starry Sky Secret Spirit, which was simply to kill the Star Eagles.
“As a Star Eagle, I am a unique existence, already holding a place in the Heart of the World, so even death merely means returning to the Heart of the World,” the Star Eagles revealed without concealment, aware of their circumstances.
Although it seemed to be well-behaved locked inside, its own strength was of the sixth order, capable of sweeping through the whole world… oh, the world before the Umbrella Company kicked off, given that Qin Muye’s biological weapons and military equipment were extremely overpowered.
However, Qin Muye did not plan to do this just yet. First, he intended to study for a while, and then he planned to summon all the ‘World’s Children’ from civilization and integrate them into one, ultimately harvesting them as experimental subjects, and after research, even as collectibles.
Yet their character seemed rather simple, probably because the ancient times were relatively characterized by a simple and honest social atmosphere; otherwise, the World’s Children would not have collectively perished.
Considering their unique traits, it was not exaggerated for this group of beings to be referred to as the World’s Children.
Probably in ancient times, these World’s Children were favored by the universe. Back then, human civilization had just begun, and for survival, and out of reverence, humans treated these World’s Children as divine and made sacrifices to them.
But the World’s Children were not so simple; although they perished, they did not completely disappear. They transformed into the Transcendent, becoming a part of civilization, and gradually formed the current systems of Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters.
Women, in particular, received the body strength of the World’s Children, transforming into Secret Spirits. The reason for the postnatal implantation of corresponding plants was because the Secret Spirits required activation; otherwise, they would remain hidden deep within the flesh. As for the secret techniques, they naturally became the developed abilities of the World’s Children.
What’s more significant is that it all became a tangled mess, no longer the same as before.
With the development to this day, it’s hard to say who lost and who won. If the World’s Children are considered to have lost, they have become a concept, permeating the whole of human civilization, and, with some luck, they could come out from the concept, just like the Star Eagles.
An important point is that this heritage could intersect with each other. The current Star Eagles are comprised of Sky Eagle Martial Arts Will and Starry Sky Secret Spirit, and in the past generation, there might not have been a Star Eagle, as these combinations were randomly selected by Qin Muye.
Who knows how many years it has been. Many things have been lost over time, and finding them all wouldn’t be easy.
The events that followed were somewhat cliche, all the Children of the World fell, and at that time, humans acquired great power.
Summoning was a bit troublesome, requiring all Secret Martial Skills and Secret Spirits; this was a significant challenge.
Observing the silence of the Star Eagle, Qin Muye asked again, “How did you, so powerful, come to be destroyed?”
To speak of victory, a group of naturally divine beings ending up like this is extremely tragic, no different from prisoners.
The Secret Martial Skills were not developed by humans but originated from the power of the Children of the World.
Currently working in pairs, Qin Muye wanted to try combining them into groups of three or five to see if a final Child of the World could be formed.
Men inherited the spiritual power of the Children of the World, which continuously evolved over the years into the Secret Martial Skills.
Qin Muye was somewhat surprised; he had not expected the Star Eagle to refer to itself as a Child of the World, seemingly declaring its identity.
If things went smoothly, what would follow would likely be an era of myths; this group of Children of the World could easily become divine beings and were much stronger than the seemingly artificial divine beings in the Magic Continent server.
Although it was only a simple phrase from the Star Eagle, it concealed a tremendous secret.
Therefore, theoretically, this group of Children of the World had countless varieties in existence.
So this was another grand project, and Qin Muye felt somewhat overwhelmed, but fortunately, he had finally managed to trace the Extraordinary System of this world.
He wasn’t like a Child of the World, something magical; after all, they were the natural children of this world and were treated differently, although they were ultimately destroyed by adopted humans, proving that identity does not represent inheritance rights, but intelligence does.
It wasn’t omnipotent; Qin Muye’s question was clearly in its blind spot of knowledge, so it naturally had no answer.
After hearing the latter part, he couldn’t help but remark that the Children of the World were truly favored by fate; it’s just unfortunate that such a good start hadn’t developed, and humans ended up picking the ripe fruits.
Through the data on the Star Eagle and various pieces of information gathered, it seemed that the inheritance vehicle might be Martial Arts Will and Secret Spirits; combining the two could yield the wisdom and legacy of the predecessors.
Whether as a Martial Artist or a Secret Spirit Master, the ultimate pursuit is to become the Children of the World.
In comparison to their physical form, the spirit of the Children of the World could exist within civilization, thereby causing the revival of Martial Artists who practiced the full set of Secret Martial Skills. This had caused chaos in the past, and it had subsided after divisions were made.
Extracting all the Children of the World from civilization at once was naturally not easy, and Qin Muye was unable to reach such a concept of existence.
This was precisely why men could not become Secret Spirit Masters, and women could not become Martial Artists.
The reason was not the body or the soul, but a higher level of human civilization; this group, similar to a brand or rules, the Children of the World were tightly bound into the concept of human civilization.
Then, with the blessings of the Children of the World, human civilization gradually got back on track; hence, ambitions subsided.
These words made the Star Eagle fall into silence involuntarily, “I don’t know…”
This brought him an extraordinary surprise as the other party possessed high spirituality and might even have inherited the legacy of its predecessors.
Unfortunately, everything had already been set in stone, and moreover, Qin Muye felt that the Children of the World were a treasure trove, so he wanted them.
But this identity really wasn’t that great in Qin Muye’s view.
In this last sentence, the tone of the Star Eagle seemed somewhat sarcastic; back in the day, humans had taken away the power of the Children of the World, and now everything humans did seemed to be preparing for the Children of the World, as if the world’s father still loved them.
