Chapter 988: Great Mysteries
But the affairs of the world always changed and evolved. A single answer could never resolve every problem forever. The Ruò Iron Clan’s path of evolution also could not fully resolve the evolutionary route for the entire Reaper clan.
When their civilization reached the peak of its glory, the problem of evolution inevitably surfaced. Even cultivating Vital Qi to the utmost limits could not bring them to the ultimate goal of evolution.
They hit a bottleneck, and with it came the pressure of Oblivion. Oblivion beasts began to breed around the Ruò Iron Clan’s territory. Panic quickly spread. In the end, the Ruò Iron Clan’s progenitor forcibly broke through the bottleneck and perished from spontaneous combustion. The clan that had once stood at the height of power began to decline.
They struggled for a long time, but they still could not withstand the merciless tide of Oblivion. In the end, the entire clan perished.
After reading the history of the Ruò Iron Clan, Li Xiaofei could not help but be filled with emotion. It had been a truly remarkable group within the Reaper clan. They had pioneered an extraordinarily powerful cultivation civilization.
They had come close to breaking the innate shackles of the Reaper race and nearly reached the other shore. But in the end, their efforts had fallen just short.
At the same time, a question surfaced in Li Xiaofei’s mind, If even the Ruò Iron Clan’s path couldn’t succeed, then is the Reaper race’s evolution destined to be a dead end?
Otherwise, after all this time, after visiting so many evolutionary strongholds and witnessing the histories of so many Reaper clans, histories filled with both evolution and death, he had never seen even a single King-ranked clan come close to seeing the hope of success.
To the Reapers, evolution was like a candle flame. Though its light was alluring, approaching it only led to being burned by its searing heat and ultimately being extinguished completely.
Li Xiaofei continued to peruse the stone slabs and came across a piece of information. According to the records of the Ruò Iron Clan, there had once been a Reaper clan that discovered the answer to evolution. They had ascended from the Evolution Temple and reached the legendary other shore, becoming the envy of all other races.
It seems my earlier guess was wrong. There really was a race that succeeded in evolving, Li Xiaofei thought in astonishment.
But unfortunately, the Ruò Iron Clan’s records about this successful race were vague. Not even the name of the race was mentioned.
