CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 1: SEIZING THE HUMAN FORM! THE AESTHETICS OF VIOLENCE_2

This is the duty of the Immortal Heroic Spirits!

They do not care about the rise and fall of worldly affairs, the changes of dynasties, or even pitying the common people, which is just a personal behavior and emotional inclination. Their only duty is to protect the continuity of human history.

When an apocalyptic threat emerges, it is the time for the Immortals to act.

"How could there be an apocalyptic threat in the Middle Ages!"

Duncan merely glanced at it and tossed it aside, secretly thinking, "Unless it’s an asteroid hitting the Earth, humans couldn’t possibly go extinct."

"A full-scale nuclear war in the future, however, has a certain risk of extinction."

Right now, everyone is sitting obediently on the Heroic Spirit Throne, and their busy schedule is at least a thousand years from now.

Even if the Black Death breaks out and half the population dies, humanity would not be extinguished. If they really need to walk on earth, it would be when a world-level nuclear war has become a fait accompli, when such a crisis of human self-extinction might trigger a stress mechanism in the long river of history.

At that time, the immortals who have great achievements in human history will need to take action.

The ancestors can’t bear to watch!

Ungrateful descendants, how can humans go extinct under your watch? The ancestors are watching from the heavens!

Humanity cannot perish, unworthy descendants, prepare to be thrashed!

Other than that, the mechanisms that can be activated are merely those few kinds: apocalyptic natural disasters, self-destruction after the explosion of human technology, and extermination wars waged by other alien life forms against humanity.

This mechanism exists solely for the continuation of humanity.

Right now, Duncan doesn’t need to worry, but since he has become an Immortal Heroic Spirit, it’s up to him to guard the long river of human history and the continuation of the race.

It’s not like he’s bearing this responsibility alone; there are other Immortals in human history too.

"The long river of human history has created the legend of the Immortal Heroic Spirits."

"They must also bear the responsibility of racial continuation."

"That’s fair!"

Duncan left a special mark on the projection page, meaning something like ’human extinction crisis, remember to alert me.’

He immediately stood up from the Immortal Heroic Spirit Throne.

Fighting online!

As for the predictions and foresight of the Immortal Heroic Spirits about the future, Duncan doesn’t care much. It’s up to the descendants to have their fortunes. He won’t forcibly extend the empire; he’s not the empire’s nanny. Dynasty changes have their destined numbers, and if the descendants are promising, they will reform and solve things themselves.

Duncan would at most monitor from the background!

In case any cults, Evil Gods, or any chaotic supernatural entities deliberately attempt to destroy the empire prematurely, then don’t blame him for standing up from the Immortal Throne and striking.

Perhaps some Immortals will forcibly continue the country they established, but their end is generally not good; they may even lose their Heroic Spirit status.

Duncan is now the behind-the-scenes guardian ancestor of the empire. The empire can self-destruct, but it cannot be deliberately destroyed by supernatural entities!

If he stands up, more people will die.

This, the other entities are also very aware of, so now in the rapidly deteriorating World One, virtually no supernatural pseudo-Divine Spirit entities are jumping out to court death.

After six decades of reforge, the empire gradually entered a golden age.

Suddenly.

Duncan actually found himself a bit unoccupied.

The second human form of the Giant Dragon basically has no major issues, except that a continental shelf fell recently, causing a stir among various factions. The other matters are insignificant, just ordinary developmental land management, which he can delegate by looking through management records.

As for the fallen continental shelf, about the size of Great Britain, it’s quite far from the Northern Land. He stealthily checked it out, found many dead on the perimeter, and perfunctorily dealt with the task without getting involved in that commotion.

The main concern being a densely packed unit of four-star marks; the Giant Dragon is too noticeable and would get ganged up on.

Dark Elves have been keeping a relatively low profile recently.

As long as they don’t actively attack the Northern Land, Duncan is happy to develop in peace. For the Giant Dragon’s lifecycle, a few decades or centuries are really nothing. The deity-making ceremony alone takes decades to hundreds of years to prepare. Only at the moment of full launch will it cause a dramatic change. If even the Dark Elf Empress can endure, why couldn’t he?

Those who hastily trigger the deity-making ceremony are eventually overwhelmed beyond recognition.

Failure means death and disappearance, with no guarantee of preserving even the soul.

Everyone knows the Dark Elf Empress wants to ascend, but when she will do so is entirely in her hands.

Duncan’s consciousness immersed in the long river of history.

Just as he was scrutinizing everything as an observer, suddenly there was a slight tremor in Dimension Space, and in the next second, an independent projection page appeared, showing a huge swirling black hole marked with blood-red light.

"Alert!"

"Detected void fissures!"

"Detected traces of life activities from other dimensions... target suspected to be Chaotic Creatures! Detected polluted Power of Faith! Target bears Evil God characteristics!"

Duncan’s spirits lifted instantly.

His figure flickered, appearing on the third projection page, and in the next second the scene shifted, with the void in the projection page rapidly flowing away.

In the reflection of Dimension Space, the enormous feather-shaped nebula began rotating slowly.

"Mark the space!"
