Chapter 103 History
During lunch, Tie Zha asked if the temple had any way to improve insecticides and traditional evolutionaries. Cozan did not answer his question. Instead, he talked about the origins of the various evolvers and some of their past history.

According to ancient records, in the hundreds of years after the Ancient Nuclear War, humans began to evolve in order to resist the effects of radiation on their bodies …

After a long time, the evolution of humans has produced two branches, one is psionic evolution and the other is physical evolution.

The first to appear were traditional evolutionaries who were once classified as body evolutionaries, but later/after research by scientists it was discovered that the secret to body strengthening of traditional evolutionaries came from some kind of biological energy. This type of biological energy was later collectively referred to as “psionic energy,” and was a higher-level form of energy than electrical and thermal energy.

Thus, a traditional evolver could be said to be a primary form of a psionic warrior, which the Temple and Notre Dame called a psionic warrior. Psionic martial artists could naturally absorb the psionic energy that was floating in the world and store it in their bodies to enhance their physical fitness. However, they were unable to sense the existence of psionic energy, so they were unable to cultivate the [Secret Scripture].

Psionic Adepts are full-fledged psionic perceptual evolvers. Compared to traditional evolvers, they are complete psionic evolvers. Their nerve endings could sense the existence of psionic energy and control the flow of psionic energy. Low-level psionic artists needed media, such as psionic weapons and psionic power armor.

However, when the density of the psionic energy in a psionic user’s body and the control of the psionic energy reached a certain level, the psionic user could disperse the psionic energy in his body, concentrate it somewhere in his body, or directly radiate it out of his body. At this time, even without a medium, psionic beings still possessed formidable combat power. If they spread their psionic energy all over their bodies, they would be able to improve their physical fitness in all respects. Concentrating psionic energy at a certain point would maximize the output of power. After radiating his psionic energy outside, he would be able to attack from afar.

Therefore, high-level psionic warriors surpassed high-level psionic warriors in all respects. However, psionic martial artists also had their advantages when they were at the lower levels. Normally, the evaluation of a psionic artist’s rank was mainly based on their three basic ability values. These three abilities were absorptive power, control power, and spiritual power.

“Absorption power” represents the speed at which psionic energy is collected in the air, “control power” represents proficiency and talent in controlling psionic energy, and “psionic power” represents the strength of the psionic energy contained within the body.

A psionic martial artist’s innate absorption power is stronger than a low-level psionic artist’s. Therefore, low-level psionic warriors were no match for psionic warriors if they did not use psionic media (psionic equipment).

Generally speaking, both traditional evolvers and psionic beings evolved from absorbing psionic energy from the air.

Insecticidal is another branch of human evolution, and most scientists believe that insecticidal is an ancestral phenomenon.

After the ancient nuclear war, the ground was filled with large amounts of radiation. The radiation can destroy human epidermal cells, causing large areas of the skin to fall off. Insecticides were created to adapt to this environment. Most insecticides have extraordinary regenerative abilities. They can survive in high-radiation environments, and their shed skin can grow back.

The first place where insecticides appeared was the southern continent, the center of the ancient nuclear war.

The southern continent, also known as the “Forgotten Cemetery,” was scorched earth, devoid of grass, vegetation, and animals under the influence of intense radiation. However, there were many insecticides there. Their sources of food came from the Temple and Silver City’s airdrops. Every once in a while, Silver City’s aircraft would fly over the southern continent in large groups, dropping tens of thousands of supplies for the insecticides there to survive.

“Why would the Temple help the insecticides there? Isn’t their doctrine to eliminate the insecticides?” Tie Zha asked.

“Their ultimate goal is to protect the interests of the psionic practitioners, not just eliminate them.” After answering, Cozan continued to explain.

The Temple regarded the insecticides as heretics, and once caught, they would be burned to death, but this was limited to the parish of the Temple. The ultimate goal of the Temple was to drive the insecticides to a place where ordinary people and psionic beings could not survive. For example, the southern continent, the Far East continent, or some marginal areas with poor living conditions (Luoyan Town, Black Sea, Iceland, etc.).

To explain all of this, one must start with the spatial rift in the central continent …

A hundred years after the Ancient Era’s nuclear war, part of the space in the central continent distorted, gradually forming a space-time rift. At first, there were only one or two cracks, but as time passed, more and more cracks appeared.

These spatial and temporal rifts were connected to different planes, one of which was called the Blazing Gobi, and a large number of alien creatures gushed out. These creatures were tall and strong, and their bodies were covered in solid scales. They swallowed their blazing flames and engulfed the entire central continent like locusts.

Faced with the invasion of the alien plane, humans carried out a protracted war. In the end, thanks to the joint efforts of the Alliance Army of the various continents, as well as the Temples, Notre Dame, and Temples, they finally managed to repel the alien creatures. And spent a lot of manpower and material resources to seal the spatial rift.

Because the spatial and temporal rifts are bidirectional, humans have also begun to invade the ectopic plane. Since then, the central continent had been invaded and invaded.

Two hundred years ago, several rifts from the same plane suddenly appeared in the central continent. It was an indescribably beautiful world, named “Qiman’s Dream” by people. There was no land there, only boundless oceans and huge rocks floating in the air. The rocks were covered with thousands of years old vines, trees, flowers and plants, like beautiful gardens in the sky.

Regrettably, however, there was an unknown toxin in the air of Qiman Dream Realm. Humans could not survive in it and could only wear oxygen masks to move about. However, for thousands of years, humans had always yearned for the sky, for the freedom of birds, and for the palaces of the gods.

As a result, humans began to collect large quantities of floating stones, planning to build cities in the air.

At this time, new contradictions arose. With the current civilization of mankind, only a small number of people could live in the sky, and most of them still had to stay on the ground. Plantations, farms, factories, all of which require human management.

At that time, psionic power armor had already been mass-produced, and psionic practitioners had gradually risen. For the next 30 years, psionic beings lived spontaneously in separate lands from other humans and publicized the nobility of psionic bloodlines. Gradually, the gap between humans grew larger and larger.

In particular, the conflict between the psionic and bug-like beings became more and more intense. They are both evolutionaries, but one side preaches that the other side is a wrong existence.

However, due to the existence of the Psionic Power Armor, the evolved form of the Psionic Adepts was relatively stable, easy to inherit and master, and the full support of the Temple and Notre Dame, the power of the Psionic Adepts grew. Words targeting insecticides also began to spread widely. In order to avoid being misunderstood and discriminated against, many insecticides gradually faded out of people’s sight and hid themselves.

At dr3528, psionic beings formed a world conference and a psionic alliance, signaling the arrival of the era of psionic beings.

The following year, dr3529, the psionic alliance reached an agreement with the temple, and passed a series of bills at the world conference, such as the famous “continuation of human bloodline act”, “silver city residence act”, “insecticide residence act”, and so on, to expel insecticides to the southern continent.

The Temple firmly opposed the idea that insecticides were an integral part of humanity, sharing the glory of their ancestors in the genetic chain.

However, the temple was too weak to stop the passage of laws that discriminated against insecticides and separated ordinary humans.

Thus, a war for dignity and rights has begun.

Notre Dame is neutral, the Temple supports the Psionic Alliance, and the Temple supports insecticides and ordinary humans. However, the war had been one-sided from the beginning.

Only a small portion of ordinary humans participated in the war. They were either followers of the Temple and Notre Dame or the people under the rule of the Psionic Alliance. Most of them did not even know the real reason for the war.

Insecticides had no organization at all, and there were conflicts between individuals that were plundering each other. Only the temple had a regular army. At that time, the Saint Wolf Heavy Armor Guards of the glorious bloodline had become the core of the war. However, the number of Psionic Adepts was simply too large, and it was simply not something that these tens of thousands of people could handle.

After a period of war, the Ancient Great Prophet proposed a truce, and then under the arrangement of Notre Dame, he signed an armistice agreement with the Temple. However, the Great Prophet of Glory stubbornly continued to fight. In the end, the temple split apart. The Great Ancient Prophet abandoned the Northern Wilderness parish and brought his followers back to the Far East. From then on, he would no longer participate in world disputes.

The war lasted for more than a year until Dr3531. The final battle started, the glorious Great Prophet fell, and the Saint Wolf Heavy Armored Guards were annihilated …

Over the next ten years, Silver Cities rose up one after another, creating the world of today.

According to the statistics of the World Council last year, 5.13% of the world’s psionic or psionic humans, 2.26% of the worms, 0.02% of the traditional evolutionaries, and hundreds of Origin Energy Perceptors are now psionic or psionic bloodline humans, while the remaining 92.59% are ordinary humans.

Today, more than 90% of these 2.26% insecticides live in the southern continent. The Temple and Silver City had always been controlling the number of insects. The method they used was very simple and crude. It was to decide how many insects to feed through the amount of resources they put in.

Their ultimate goal was for the insecticides to protect the land. The reason for that was because there were often creatures from other planes running out of the spatial rifts in the central continent. If they were allowed to reproduce, it would have an immeasurable impact on the entire human race. The “Thorn Insect Calamity” many years ago was the most typical case.

In the eyes of the Temple and Silver City, these areas were better controlled by insecticides than by creatures that fell into another plane. At the very least, insecticides are considered intelligent creatures, the humans of the past …
