491: Chapter 491 The Concept of 'Humanity'

Nie Ning leaned forward to take a look; even the people from the Yin-Yang Sect were present at this moment.

Seeing the Yin-Yang Dao Envoy with beautiful eyes look over, Nie Ning gave a silly smile and raised his hand to wave at them.

The Yin-Yang Dao Envoy turned their head away.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face, Nie Ning felt that they had rolled their eyes at him.

Nie Ning couldn't help but awkwardly rub his nose, then focused his gaze on the strange humanoid creature.

A 7th-Rank Wizard from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace beckoned, and immediately, the strange humanoid creature's skin tore open, and a drop of blood floated out from the wound.

Subsequently, the 7th-Rank Wizard took out a container, placed the blood inside it, and then set it onto a crystal tablet.

Spiral-shaped genetic sequence patterns appeared on the crystal tablet, accompanied by a string of rising numbers beside them.

"What is this for?"

Nie Ning nudged Lovsky beside him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"Comparing our genetic similarity."

Lovsky said while keeping his eyes on the numbers on the crystal tablet.

Just as Nie Ning was about to ask more, the numbers on the crystal tablet stopped at 99.218.

Lovsky slapped his thigh with a look of regret: "What the hell, it seems we can't conduct a Great Purge this time either."

Not just Lovsky, many others also showed expressions of regret.

Nie Ning watched, completely confused, unable to understand what these people were doing.

Lovsky turned his head and saw Nie Ning's bewildered expression: "I forgot, you're a new recruit, you probably don't know much about this."

Thereupon, Lovsky began to explain.

This action has a lot to do with the word 'Human'.

With the growing strength of humanity, a 'Human Conceptual Factor' has now formed, becoming an existence with a generalized meaning.

If humanity continues to decrease, it will cause the concept of 'Human' to weaken, thereby affecting the remaining humans.

According to what Lovsky had heard, the consequence of a decrease in humans would cause humanity's overall talent to decline and weaken humanity's overall strength.

Therefore, the Human Alliance Treaty was born, prohibiting the slaughter of humanoid creatures that have extremely high genetic and appearance similarity to humans.

As for why appearance is also a factor, it is because 'Human' is a concept; existing humans must believe the other party is 'Human', or suspected to be 'Human'.

Once this perception is formed, the target has the preliminary qualifications to be recognized by humans, and only then can the genetic testing procedure be carried out.

As long as the genetic similarity is below 99.19, they, the invaders, will conduct a Great Purge, using thunderous methods to quickly flatten the entire world.

Conversely, if it is above 99.2, unless absolutely necessary, they can only proceed slowly, striving to reduce casualties.

This depends on the intensity of the local world's hostility toward the invaders.

If the creatures of this world would rather die than surrender, as pioneers of Belvis World, they naturally cannot ignore such a resource-rich planet.

Setting aside whether humanity as a whole will be weakened, having a world as support means the faction that acquires it will certainly eat their fill, and it can also strengthen Belvis World.

After listening to Lovsky's narration, Nie Ning nodded thoughtfully.

Although it was a bit ambiguous, he could be considered to have understood what the other party was saying.

Of course, in Nie Ning's view, looking at appearance was indeed a bit ridiculous.

This is entirely to prevent strange creatures that have extremely high genetic similarity to humans but are vastly different in appearance from mixing in.

Take Corruptors for example, creatures with genes nearly 100% similar to humans—can those things be called human?

The moment a Corruptor is born, the description for it is usually just two words: Monster!

So according to Lovsky's statement, Corruptors have already been stripped of the 'Human' concept.

However, Nie Ning was quite in favor of this appearance procedure.

Otherwise, if one day a black-skinned lizard said it was human, Nie Ning naturally wouldn't acknowledge its status.

Let alone a genetic similarity of over 99.2, even if it were 100%, Nie Ning would not hesitate to split it in two with one sword strike.

If he didn't do that, in case he encountered other alien races later, he would probably be laughed to death by them.

Nie Ning looked at Lovsky, and just as he opened his mouth, he saw Lovsky wave his hand.

"Don't ask, I don't know either."

Hearing this, Nie Ning scratched his cheek; could this guy predict the future...

'It seems the origin of this Human Alliance Treaty is quite mysterious.'

Moreover, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace actually abides by this treaty; he wondered if it was out of respect for the Yin-Yang Sect.

But thinking about it, it was also quite reasonable; even if the Extreme Phase Demon Palace was previously a ruthless evil faction, they were still a legitimate evil organization, and they should have some basic bottom line.

Otherwise, if they acted recklessly and their subordinates were all those uncontrollable troublemakers, an organization like the Extreme Phase Demon Palace probably wouldn't have existed for so long.

Nie Ning turned his gaze to the captured humanoid creature.

Its body looked rather robust, but it was hunched over, and its arms were a bit longer than an ordinary person's.

Furthermore, on the tattoos on its body surface, Nie Ning felt an inexplicable energy flowing within them; it looked like some kind of drawn Runic Formula.

The humanoid creature chattered incessantly, speaking in a tone different from theirs.

Nie Ning adjusted his Spiritual Power frequency, and only then was he barely able to understand what the other party was saying.

"The Holy Beast Reis will punish you demons!"

Hearing this, Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, they were indeed demons right now.

Of course, Wizards have higher rationality, and there are many ways to enslave these aliens; not everyone will adopt methods of slaughter.

This couldn't help but make Nie Ning think of the Crimson Holy Blade; Saint-Ville World seemed to be under the Crimson Holy Blade's name.

Now it seemed the method adopted by the Crimson Holy Blade was very gentle, even dispatching their own people into Saint-Ville World to perform maintenance work.

However, it was highly probable that this was because the humans of Saint-Ville World were almost identical to the humans of Belvis World.

Even if they were unwilling, slaughtering their own kind was not the best solution.

But Nie Ning looked around and saw that everyone from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace had a look of regret, wishing they could immediately start the world cleaning work.

Nie Ning didn't care too much about this; whether conducting a purge or proceeding with gentle negotiation, none of this was Nie Ning's primary goal.

Actually, obtaining genes was just part of the plan; his main goal was to see if he could find something similar to a World Tree in this world.

After all, the uniqueness of the World Tree goes without saying, and seeing more of it might allow him to find a way to deal with gods.

Moreover, every world generally nurtures extremely special treasures of heaven and earth, such as the Thunder Light Sha.

As for Belvis World, don't even think about it; everything that could be divided up has already been divided, so maybe he could find something here.
