# Chapter 2691: The Hidden Truth
Wu Kuang grabbed the railing and knelt on the ground, his strength seemingly drained dry, his eyes filled with bitterness!
How could he bear to exchange the full strength of the Eighteen Star Warriors for the fellow tribesmen of the gods?
If he really did that, what meaning would all he had done have?
Jiang Nan said coldly: (˶‾᷄⁻‾᷅˵) "Now... do you understand what you're actually fighting for? Not for that damn divine decree, but under the threat of divine authority, forced to fight for the survival of your race!"
"You really are living in a false dream, just dogs raised by the Bose race! When I keep pets, I also give them food and drink, pet them when happy, yell at them when unhappy!"
"You're not stupid. I don't believe a race that can't think could have advanced so far on the path of willpower!"
Wu Kuang knelt on the ground in silence, his eyes full of confusion, his emotions extremely complicated!
Jiang Nan continued: "You're not ignorant of reason, unable to see the clues. The reality is like this, the racial civilization is like this, the friends around you are all like this, and you're just one of them!"
"So you don't want to think, don't want to delve deeper, don't want to refute everything now. Everyone is drunk, and you don't want to be the only sober one, just accepting everything!"
"When did you nearly give up even the instinct to think? The Bose race really knows how to train people!"
Wu Kuang slumped dejectedly on the ground: "I'm not... I didn't..."
"It was the gods who gave us everything, I..."
Jiang Nan glared angrily: "How long have you been living in a dream? You still refuse to face the truth? Divine blessings, divine wrath? That's just a means to control you! The holy seal? That's just a slave mark turning you into personal property!"
"There are thousands of slave races in the world! Haven't you seen them? Haven't you heard of them? Haven't you thought about it? You're just more advanced and more potential than them, so you became the servant race!"
"Even the will to resist has been ground away! Selfless gods gave you everything? If you fail to complete orders, they send down divine wrath to destroy you? How selfless the gods really are!"
"Have you ever thought that they give you so-called blessings precisely to make you complete orders? Everything is driven by profit!"
Wu Kuang's eyes grew even more complicated. How could he not have thought about it? How could he not know there was a problem?
Any lifeform with normal intelligence would think and form their own understanding!
But the results of his thinking made Wu Kuang realize that this was vastly different from the culture of his race, the education he had received since childhood!
The truth was too cruel, making Wu Kuang afraid to explore it!
Afraid of losing everything he had now!
Just as Jiang Nan said!
Every single person in the Eighteen Star Warriors was drunk along with everyone else, living in a dream, unwilling to wake up!
Wu Kuang gritted his steel teeth: "But we cannot forget the grace of enlightenment. Without the gods, we would..."
Jiang Nan laughed wildly: "Ha! Enlightenment? Screw enlightenment! Is the history you know necessarily the truth? Does it hold up under scrutiny? Did you see it with your own eyes or experience it yourself?"
"Your so-called history is just thin words recorded on paper! Written by the victors!"
"And history isn't just words and records! Today, I'll show you the hidden truth!"
"Go! Bring them to me!"
Immediately, some Nether Prison guards brought Nai Luo and a large group of Bose bodies belonging to the Holy Star!
They had only just entered the Zhi Prison and were already beaten black and blue, tortured beyond recognition!
The warriors of the Eighteen Star Warriors watched the gods who were usually so lofty now in such a miserable state, causing a huge shock in their hearts!
They couldn't help but discuss among themselves!
Nai Luo still held hope in his heart:
(#థ)3●#) "Is... is it them coming to exchange hostages? Can we get out? I..."
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั～꒪ั*) "Dreaming, are you? Once you fall into my hands, you still want to escape? Tell me! What's the real story behind the blessings from the gods?"
"Tell them the truth. If you do well, you can be exempted from being beaten for three days! Limited slots! Drink all this wine! Once you drink it, you won't be able to lie anymore!"
With that, he pulled out a huge pile of Green Sticks!
When Nai Luo and the others heard this, there was such a good thing?
Even if they couldn't get out for now, not getting beaten was still acceptable! So they scrambled to drink the wine and speak first!
Nai Luo, now beaten into a cowardly dog, was the first to speak!
Anyway, these servant races had already been abandoned by their families, so telling them didn't matter!
"I'm from the Creation Realm, responsible for Ling Xu development and construction. I don't know much about slave races, but I do know a bit about servant races!"
"Generally, the development process for a Star Ruins goes like this: first, the Holy Star finds suitable life planets with low-level civilizations, then the Creation Realm brings people to open Ling Xu and create spiritual energy revival!"
"Under the raging spiritual calamity, low-level civilizations have to find ways to become stronger to fight against it, cultivating using spiritual energy to survive. Due to different racial civilizations and constitutions, the systems born from cultivating with spiritual energy also differ!"
"The Holy Star uses this process to evaluate racial potential, development value, and raises these wild monkeys until they are useful and at a decent level, enough to become qualified goods, then performs..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Nan slapped Nai Luo across the face, snapping his head to the side!
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Watch your language! I don't want to hear words like 'wild monkeys'!"
Nai Luo immediately lowered his head meekly:
(#థ)﹏●#) "S-sorry, please calm down, I was wrong, I'll change it!"
"Then, according to the evaluation grade, we conduct Star Ruins wars of specified intensity to harvest. The chances of winning a Star Ruins war are very, very slim. In history, not many races have managed to win!"
"And if the race being developed causes certain trouble or divine injury to the Bose race during the Star Ruins war, the evaluation grade gets raised!"
"Some races with high potential worth cultivating are not sold externally, but cultivated internally. Their memories of the Star Ruins war and spiritual energy revival are sealed, traces erased!"
"Then the history is rewritten. After a few generations, the past is forgotten and cannot be verified. The Bose race then becomes the gods who brought blessings. The Holy Star has a professional process for cultivating servant races!"
"As for ordinary slave races, it's not that troublesome. After development, they are thrown into the Starfall Round Hall for the ten thousand races of the starry sky to capture and hunt. Just keep harvesting batch after batch!"
"Lord Nan? Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Jiang Nan sneered: "Well said, a very familiar process. So familiar that I want to kill you right now!"
Wu Zang shuddered violently. If they had lost back then, would human history also have been rewritten?
After a few generations, who would still remember what once happened?
S-such a chilling afterthought!
But at this moment, the warriors of the Eighteen Star Warriors were completely stunned, looking at Nai Luo in disbelief!
If someone else had said it, they would never have believed it!
But these were spoken personally by the gods—they had no choice but to believe!
Combined with what they knew from daily life, everything connected!
Wu Kuang looked at Nai Luo in disbelief!
"It's not true... this can't be true, we..."
Jiang Nan sneered, reaching out his small hand. The Ai Jiang spirit directly handed Jiang Nan a stack of books!
He threw them directly at Wu Kuang's feet!
"Take a look for yourselves! This is our human history textbook! It records in detail the entire process of human spiritual energy revival history that can be verified!"
"It took four generations, four spiritual energy revival events, before we won the Star Ruins war!"
"See if it matches the process Nai Luo described?"
Now the Eighteen Star Warrior warriors couldn't hold back anymore. They grabbed the books and started looking through them. The more they saw, the more shocked they became!
Nai Luo flattered:
(#థ)ㅂ●#) "Well? Are you satisfied? Then the three-day beating exemption..."
Jiang Nan grinned: "Granted~"
Hmm, it'd be after three days anyway. If they drank the Green Stick wine, beating them wouldn't hurt, so what use would that be?
The other Bose bodies saw Nai Luo getting exempted—how could they stay calm?
A good day was a day to be enjoyed!
(#)ﾟ3ﾟ(#)ﾂ "Me! I know about the Divine Martial race! I'm from the Holy Star. I used to work as a Star Ruins development specialist. I was involved in the Divine Martial race project from start to finish!"
"This race is special—they have a ridiculously overpowered old man, so I remember it very clearly. I know everything!"
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Someone who participated in Star Ruins development? Then you speak!"
The other Bose bodies were jealous. Damn it, he got ahead of them!
Then Ai Jiang brought a mechanical brainwave projector, directly reading the Bose body's brainwave memory and projecting it!
This was even more immersive than just speaking!
Since they were on the Minghe River, Ai Jiang's equipment had been specially researched and modified to function normally!
Once the memory projection was on, those hidden pasts emerged!
The faith in Wu Kuang's heart had begun to crumble!
Was this the hidden truth? The real history of the Divine Martial race?
Under the projection, time seemed to blur, pulling everyone back to that extremely distant era, into the forgotten history!
As Nai Luo said, the Holy Star's investigation team discovered the Divine Martial Star during their survey!
Here, everyone practiced martial arts, the folk customs were fierce. They had their own culture, writing, and language!
Although there was no spiritual energy, the Divine Martial race was not weak at all. Their martial arts were extremely developed!
Some experts could even carry mountains on their shoulders, cut waterfalls with blades, sever hurricanes with swords, split the earth with fists—unbelievably fierce!
These who pursued the ultimate in martial arts were called martial artists!
It was somewhat like a high-martial world, leaving even Jiang Nan stunned!
The starting point of the Divine Martial race was ridiculously high, damn it!
Although ancient humans had ancient martial arts, they never reached such an insane level!
