Chapter 408 -408-The Allied Host of All Races, History
After Avril returned to the Celestial Realm, she had actually learned quite a lot about the human race from Wesker.
It was not because she was particularly interested in humans. Rather, it was because that damned fellow, the one who seemed to have defiled her, came from the human race.
Caelan stared intently at the video. At the same time, he was also rather curious as to what Avril was trying to show him with this footage.
What appeared on the screen was a series of archival recordings related to the human race’s first entry into the Celestial Realm.
Because communication between the different regions of the Celestial Realm had been sealed off, the awakeners from the World of Myriad Races who first stepped into this place had no idea what kind of miraculous region the Celestial Realm truly was. At first, they had simply assumed that it was nothing more than an oversized Instance.
It was only by chance that they obtained tickets leading to this place, allowing them to enter the Celestial Realm.
In the beginning, large numbers of awakeners merely came to the Celestial Realm to explore. However, the more they explored, the more they realized that the Celestial Realm was not a simple Instance, but something far more akin to an actual world.
Moreover, many precious materials had appeared here. And for most people, wherever there was profit, there was a direction worth advancing toward.
Thus, more and more awakeners began exploring the Celestial Realm.
The footage on the screen was more or less from that period. The only difference was that this particular recording documented, in great detail, the Allied Host of All Races’ exploration of the Beta Sector.
Originally, the Alpha Sector was a land of complete stillness and death, so the Allied Host of All Races had not been affected much there. They soon found the passages leading to the Beta Sector, and with a continuous influx of resources, they quickly repaired those passages.
However, when they finally stepped into the Beta Sector, they discovered that this world was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
There were large numbers of mutated creatures within the Beta Sector. Whether it was mammoths formed from oak trees, or cacti that opened their huge, bloodstained maws, each of these beings posed an immense threat.
The Allied Host of All Races soon became locked in fierce battle against these bizarre creatures.
Yet what the Allied Host of All Races had not expected was that these strange lifeforms seemed endless in number. Not only were they far from weak, their reproductive capabilities were also astonishingly powerful.
As a result, even after the Allied Host of All Races paid a tremendous price in casualties and resources, they still failed to make any substantial breakthrough.
Later, because of the poisonous gas released by an especially powerful Poison Puffball, the Allied Host of All Races suffered an even more devastating blow.
The battles that followed became a horrifying war of attrition. More and more soldiers of the Allied Host of All Races, as well as countless mutated creatures, died upon that land.
Gradually, the Allied Host of All Races realized just how serious the problem truly was.
Every time they killed those bizarre creatures, the creatures did not disappear. Instead, their broken flesh seeped into the ground, flowing beneath the surface before converging toward a certain location.
Then, over the next few days, the creatures they had already killed would appear once again.
And this time, they would be even closer to perfection.
It was as though they were constantly evolving.
Under the influence of this phenomenon, the originally deadlocked battlefront gradually began to tilt against the Allied Host of All Races.
They knew very well that if this continued, the Allied Host of All Races would inevitably be destroyed.
Thus, the commander at the time immediately gave the order to retreat.
Unfortunately, the order came a little too late.
By the time the retreat command was issued, the Allied Host of All Races had already fallen into a disadvantage, and the troops stationed on the front lines had suffered massive casualties.
In the end, it was only with the aid of Gamma City that the Allied Host of All Races successfully escaped from the Beta Sector.
As for those bizarre creatures, for some unknown reason, they were unable to enter the other regions. They could only remain entrenched within the Beta Sector, where they continued to enact the brutal law of the jungle.
Caelan more or less understood what happened after that.
The Alliance of All Races decisively abandoned its exploration of the Beta Sector and instead established a certain degree of diplomatic relations with the Gamma Sector.
However, no one had expected that the bizarre creatures of the Beta Sector would seem to undergo some form of special evolution. They actually became capable of escaping the Beta Sector and began spreading toward both the Alpha Sector and the Gamma Sector.
In the end, Gamma City was forced to request cooperation from the Alliance of All Races. The two sides then mobilized a vast amount of the Power of Laws before finally sealing those strange creatures completely within the Beta Sector.
It was precisely because of this comradeship forged in crisis that the Alliance of All Races and the Gamma Sector maintained a good relationship ever since. Some people were even granted permission to enter the Gamma Sector.
After watching the video, Caelan could not help feeling deeply moved.
So the exploration of the Celestial Realm had not been like this from the very beginning. It was only after countless sacrifices that the map of this region had gradually been completed.
At the same time, Caelan sank into deep thought.
Judging from the footage, the Alliance of All Races was not as weak as he had imagined. In fact, it was quite powerful.
Even against the bizarre creatures of the Beta Sector, they still had methods of dealing with them.
Just then, Avril, who was standing beside him, suddenly raised a question with an arrogant look on her face.
"Do you know why your Allied Host of All Races stopped advancing after entering the Gamma Sector?"
Faced with this question, Caelan’s expression turned thoughtful.
After a brief moment of consideration, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It must be because you didn’t have enough technology."
However, Avril merely shook her head with a smug expression.
"No. Our technology was sufficient. It was simply because you humans were too cowardly. They were afraid of encountering even stronger creatures."
Caelan smiled calmly.
He did not deny that Avril’s words made a certain amount of sense.
But he was certain that powerful creatures alone would not have been enough to make the Alliance of All Races retreat.
The real reason they chose not to continue exploring was most likely a matter of resources.
After all, the Alliance of All Races itself was not exactly united as a single, solid piece.
So he glanced at Avril beside him and spoke with a teasing note in his voice.
"Compared to that childish idea of yours, let me ask you this. Isn’t there a possibility that the construction required for further expansion would have consumed far too many resources, making it completely unnecessary?"
"After all, the mechanical craftsmanship within your Gamma City alone was already worth studying for quite a long time on the Alliance of All Races’ side."
"Before finishing the matters already at hand, would it make sense to spend even more resources opening up regions that temporarily held no real practical value?"
"Do you really think everyone in the Alliance of All Races is stupid?"
"Besides, didn’t Gamma City also refrain from taking further action?"
Avril gritted her teeth and did not continue the topic.
Because she realized that she simply could not win an argument against him.
So she snatched the video player back and then said with a face full of indignation, "What’s the point of saying all that? Now you understand just how powerful those bizarre creatures in the Beta Sector are, don’t you?"
