Chapter 799 Prometheus' Fire

"Have you ever heard of the Fire Thief?"

"I've never heard of it. What is that?"

"It was a guy called Prometheus... There was a race called humans who lived in darkness for a long time. They had no fire to roast food and could only eat raw food. Without fire to illuminate, they had no choice but to spend one long night after another in the endless darkness..."

"Uh, darkness is bad?"

"Some races think darkness is bad."

"Is there such a race?"

"Yes, humans are... In order to help humans, Prometheus stole fire for them and brought light to humans."

"Ah, Prometheus is such a bad guy, tempting humans to turn their backs on darkness."

"Yeah, he was a bad guy, so he was punished later."

"Okay, he deserves to be punished! Such bad guys should be severely punished! And then?"

"Then the fire was released into the world. That flame was the fire."

"..."

Both voices were silent for a moment.

"Really? That fire is the kindling?"

"Yes, it is still carrying out its mission, bringing 'light' to all races."

"..."

The two voices were silent for a while.

"Prometheus, you are guilty of a heinous crime!"

"Heinous crime!"

……

Fire doesn't know what is right and what is wrong.

All it knows is to bring living things out of the darkness.

"Darkness is a bad thing." Its master Prometheus told it.

Darkness is a huge gap between wildness and civilization. Only by burning away the darkness can those wild creatures embark on the road of civilization.

Humans were the first race it "saved".

This race is very obedient and does not resist. They are not very wild and with just a little guidance they will spontaneously move away from darkness and towards light.

For those humans who like darkness, the fire will continue to burn them until they "fall in love with light."

Thanks to Fire's efforts, there are fewer and fewer humans who like darkness, and the remaining ones are "cowards" who are afraid of darkness.

These well-behaved humans are the ones that Fire wants to see.

The coward gene became dominant, and these humans who were close to light multiplied more and more. Thanks to the heat and light brought by the fire, they would make leaps and bounds in progress and accelerate into the civilized era.

The first time humans understood "combustion" was when they used fire to start the first fire.

From then on, the word "burning" will run through the entire human civilization.

Burning wood, coal, gas...the entire human civilization is built on "burning", built on the first fire ignited by the spark, and will continue to burn.

Fire, complete your mission...

But its owner did not give it the next task.

Prometheus disappeared, and the fire wandered in the human world for a long time. In this civilization that had dispelled the darkness, it could not find the meaning of its existence at all.

So, it left humans...

"Go find a darker place."

Soon, the fire was found, and a world full of darkness.

Everything here is made of darkness, even living things are part of the darkness.

Huozhan immediately realized that there was great potential in this place.

It can finally perform its mission once again.

This time, it chose a race that had completely fallen into darkness. The Fire Seed believed that its arrival would completely save this race, allowing them to embark on the path of civilization like humans, spreading light and warmth throughout the world.

However, when it came into contact with this race, it discovered that this race was so stubborn.

They do not have the coward genes of humans, nor do they yearn for light. They hate light from the bottom of their hearts and worship darkness.

They don’t like cooked food, they don’t like warmth, they don’t like the sense of security that light brings them, they don’t like the beauty that illuminates everything.

This group of wild creatures even believe that they are part of the darkness. They are highly intelligent, can make tools and weapons, and have a simple form of society, but they do not understand the convenience brought by light.

"we do not need."

Why not? Isn't light good?

The fire has presented the beauty of light to this race more than once, and has spared no effort to tell this race about the various benefits.

Rapidly developing civilization and technology, greater power, and the ability to control the world, all of this is within reach if we just embrace the light.

Darkness is not an important thing. A slight shine of light will dispel all shadows, leaving nothing behind.

The fire showed its power, telling this wild race about the current situation of mankind and painting a beautiful picture of the future for them.

With the wisdom and assistance of this race itself, they can quickly occupy the entire world and make everything become "beautiful".

However, the race still refused.

They told Fire that they did not need Fire’s help, as the world was dark to begin with and would always remain dark.

"Darkness will continue to expand over time and space, and we will continue to grow as well. Although it will take a very long time, we will coexist with darkness."

"The beauty you describe is not the beauty we need."

"We don't need burning..."

After being rejected again and again, Fire finally realized that this creature could not be persuaded.

They were born in eternal night, their power comes from darkness, and everything they evolved is to adapt to darkness, even their thoughts are completely in line with darkness.

This race is full of evil roots from darkness. They are wild, unruly, and stubborn. They will never be shaken by persuasion.

"Only by burning away their connection to darkness can their perspective be transformed."

The fire will not give up so easily. During the period of human civilization, it has burned so many stubborn elements, burned away the genes that advocate darkness, and made humans close to light from the bottom of their hearts. How could it abandon its mission because of such a small setback?

It decided to bring a great fire to this race.

"burn!"

"Burn off the hair that harbors dirt!"

"Burn the bloody claws!"

"Burn the tail that represents barbarism!"

"Burn away the savagery that's blocking your sanity!"

"Burn away your obsession with being a beast!"

"Burn away the stubborn pride!"

"Burn the roots of reckless behavior!"

"Burn the soul that yearns for darkness!"

It wants to completely burn this race into a state that yearns for light, and burn this world into what it wants it to be.

"I will complete my mission."
