Chapter 88
"I don't know. They seem to have a high rate of reproduction. Maybe that's the reason since our universe's population is so less. Most of the humans that I have seen are either generous, greedy, evil, good, lazy, hardworking, rich, poor, strong, and weak. I don't know what makes them so special. There are many good or bad qualities in a single human." Jerry thought for a while and answered.
He tried to think of the reason, but nothing came to his mind.
"What you said are the qualities of the humans, right?" Brown smirked and asked.
"Uh-huh!" Jerry nodded his head with confusion.
"Then, you are completely wrong." Brown shook his head and his words startled everyone. When they give him a straight gaze, he spoke "Humans are nothing special. They aren't greedy, generous, evil, good, lazy, hardworking, rich, poor, strong, and weak. They are just innocent."
"Of course, that innocence fades away as they grow up. Unlike them, we are born with the blood of conquerors. The moment we are born, we just want to conquer. You might find it a little stunning but have you ever shared something that belongs to you to others or ask something from others?"
When his words fell, everyone shook their head without thinking too deep.
"Of course, that doesn't mean we don't take care of each other. We just have Will to conquer. Humans aren't born with anything like that. They are just an innocent creature who changes with time. And, during that time, what qualities they will have would be determined by their Will."
"When I told you that we possess the Will of a Conqueror, I meant it in a different logic. To clarify this logic, let me ask you a question. The Will of a Conqueror, is it your Will or is it your ancestors Will?"
Upon questioned by him, everyone stayed silent. They swallowed their own saliva and tried to think of a reason. But what was true? What was false? They didn't know.
"I don't really know. I have been focused on training that I have never really cared about." Jerry answered after thinking a lot.
"I knew you would say that. And, I don't want to answer this for you either. Let me ask you another question. Do you know Gabriel?" Brown asked as he shook his head.
"Are you talking about Gabriel of our family?" Alice asked with confusion.
Brown nodded his head.
"Of course, we know him. He is the strongest among the younger people. Although his talent is lower than Jerry, he is stronger in strength. I don't know why though?" Alice answered with an excited expression. Stars were shining in her eyes.
"Because he has his own Will," Brown answered with straight eyes and a deep tone. But when he saw the confusion on their faces, he sighed and explained "Will is something that everyone possesses. But our Will is not original. It is inherited, Will."
"There are lots of people with inherited Will. But humans are different. They do not possess inherited Will, at least not in normal occurrence. Whether it is Original Will or Inherited Will, both are just Wills. And just Will is not enough to be special, right?"
"There are countless humans in the universe but the humans from the earth are much more special. Why? Many people have this question in their hearts. But only a few can answer them. Humans awaken Will, it is not an abnormal occurrence. But when a human successfully manifests his Will, that's a completely different story."
"Will is the desire of someone to achieve something. It can be dreams, goals, or love. Will allows us to struggle hard to achieve what we want to achieve. Even so, not everyone can awaken their Will. Once they succeed, they can improve their mentality to achieve their dreams."
"In simple words, Will only affects your mind. But, when a person manifests the Will in the form of a Spirit, they can completely change the concept of cultivation realms. But only a few people can succeed in manifesting their Will into the spirit. Gabriel is one of them."
"And, it is very rare. But, there is a reason behind its rarity. You see, normally original Will can only be manifested into Spirits. Although there are rare occurrences where Inherited Will is manifested into Spirit, that's very rare."
"And, most of the races runs in a hierarchy system. This means you are not allowed to marry outsiders. You are not allowed to follow an outsider's culture and beliefs. And more importantly, you are born to contribute to the race."
"These restrictions completely wipes out people's desire to achieve something. Of course, I am not talking about the desire that has been passed down from the ancestors. I am talking about your original desire that has been wiped out during your childhood by our family beliefs and culture. Gabriel is a person who has successfully overcome ancestor's Will by his own Original Will."
"And, humans from the earth aren't something with ancestor's blood. Most of them have awakened their Will. Though not many have manifested their Will, it doesn't matter. They still have ten or twenty times larger number of people who have manifested Will than other races."
"They are just like those first people from millions of years ago who had Manifested Spirit to fight against the creature from another universe."
"Two hundred years ago, we lost fifty thousand people against them. But, just think about this situation clearly. Those weren't ordinary people. They were trained Commanders (D-Rank) and Kings (C-Rank). And our enemies, they were ridiculously ordinary humans who have just awakened their innate ability."
"Don't you think it is ridiculous that they defeated our army? A single commander can kill millions of ordinary humans who haven't cultivated their stamina. And more importantly, they can't kill him with their innate ability or weapons."
"Although those armors and various weapons were useful, they were still not enough. If you want to know why they lost, then this is your answer. They awakened their Will and Manifested into Spirit. Combined Spirit with their innate ability and killed our army."
"Of course, only those people who were well trained in army or boxing could awaken their Will and manifest into Spirit. For ordinary people, it was still impossible. But many people didn't learn about the reason until an incident that happened fifty years ago."
"Humanity from earth faced another large threat from different races. It was no longer limited to C-Rank and the numbers weren't less either. At that time, ten emperors faced off against a Half-Saint (A-Rank). And, they won. Can you believe it?"
"Even if hundreds of Emperors are combined, they can't defeat a Half-Saint. It's no longer a realm difference. It's an entire world difference. Emperor resides in Mortal-World. Half-Saint Transcendence mortality and enters the Divine-World."
"It's like a battle between mortals and gods where mortals become the winner. Only then, the universe learns about these people. Most of them are still unknown but I believe you have heard of these names. David Flora, head of Flora Family and the leader of Revolution, Mad Beast Emperor, and Blood Demon King."
"These people are the most renowned people from the earth. who has practiced Spirit." Then, Brown turned his head at Jerry and spoke "Blood Demon King is also your potential enemy. He is from the younger generation and is known for his cruelty. Because of his talent, he has fifty percent of authority inside the Ascending to Godhood."
Hearing his words, Jerry stayed silent for a long time. Although his fighting intent was burning up, he still felt confusion in his head. After few minutes of silence, Jerry lifted his head and asked "Brown, are you going to teach me how to love someone or not?"
Thud!
Suddenly, everyone fell to the ground. When they stood up, everyone shouted "Are you still going about that? Don't you think we should learn more about Manifestation of Spirit?"
"I don't need it." Suddenly, Jerry shouted and stood up. His action made everyone startled. With a serious expression on his face, Mike spoke "I don't have Will that can surpass my ancestor. But I have talent. And, that's all I need. I am going to surpass my ancestor in cultivation and create my own Will."
"Hehe!" Brown chuckled hearing his words. Everyone's expression changed. They had a helpless smile on their face as they looked at Jerry with admiration and awe.
"So Brown, how can I know that I love someone? After all, I also love my sister, mother, and ... father." Jerry turned back and asked with a silly mischievous smile on his face.
"Jealousy and Love. These two things can really change a person's personality." Brown sighed after seeing an enormous transformation in Jerry. After all, it is completely new for a cold-type hard-working youth to make silly and mischievous smiles.
On another side,
"Luke, this time let's settle our feud. After killing you, I will kill that bastard with my own hands." A young man stood in front of Luke and spoke with a cruel smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, you are not good enough." Luke slowly unsheathes his sword and spoke without any trace of emotions on his face.
