Chapter 1065
Shadowless Race and Shadow Race (Part 2)
Mu Yu inquired, “What’s this technique they used?”
Cheng Yan answered, “I’m going to assume you’re aware both races are foreign races – relative to Third Heaven. Shadow race’s style relies on shadows. To simplify further, they’re shadows to begin with. The shadowless race refers to those who’ve lost their shadows.”
“Now this is challenging my imagination. I do remember Qing Ming having a body after I erased his shadow.”
“That was a person enveloped in a shadow. Shadows cannot move independently, which is why they control a body using their shadow. The light, logically, is their worst fear.”
“How did the two races end up as enemies?”
“I’m guessing the shadows want to usurp the rule of those rolling them,” Xiaoshuai guessed.
“Pretty much. They’re the same race. They were originally ordinary humans until they practiced a style that led to them splitting off from their shadow. For the record, the same result will occur if anyone else learns the style. The shadow then develops a mind of its own, and this has led to the conflict we know as of today. Whoever wins the struggle will gain control over the other. It should come as no surprise that shadows perceive themselves to be superior, and shadowless race, too, believes themselves to be superior.”
Mu Yu cast his gaze down at his shadow. “How did the two civilisations develop? How do they nurture their own kind?”
