Shen Yue, when mentioning "these... people," spoke with a slight hint of pity.
He now confirmed that the encircling monsters were indeed human.
Perhaps the mutated beings no longer recognized themselves as human, but they had ultimately evolved from humanity.
A thousand years ago, history had already unfolded like this, and now it repeated endlessly; the changes that would come after another millennium were already reappearing today.
There was no need for some cycle of reincarnation to prove the sorrow of all beings—humanity's history, round and round, was itself a testament to human helplessness.
"These... people..."
Shen Yue spoke slowly, "They form their unique cognitive systems through perception, and they attack others relying purely on sensation. However, since they've always survived in caves, naturally they won't attack the rocky walls."
