GOR Chapter 536 Ugly Truth

Man, living creatures, plants, organics, or even other objects…

Most of the existences within this world have their own ‘properties’

These properties could come from the way they exist, or maybe it is the way they function from a fundamental perspective, or maybe it is the way their instincts work

For exareen plants is their photosynthesis process, the absorption of carbon dioxide and the production of oxygen – at night, that process occurs in reverse

That is the basic property of plants and also the fundamental way that plants could exist – or perhaps we could say this is the ‘function’ of the plants

Naturally, some plants could come with some extra properties in addition to their ‘fundamental property’

For example, some plants would be placed around for appreciation purposes, to beautify the environment

Some plants could be used to reduce the rate of erosion

Some plants could also be used as s or medicine

To be frank however, these ‘additional properties’ could be done without

The ‘fundamental property’ on the other hand, is a must It is a necessity

If so, what about humans?

…

Let us set aside eical perspective

How do humans treat the other creatures of this world?

What is the most fundamental property within their perspective toward the other creatures?

Without a question, it is…

Edibility!

Humans are omnivores

Be it wheat or rice… … both of them are plants

Chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, poultry, livestock… … those are all animals

What is the fundamental property of those plants and anihest one is without question: Edibility!

In other words, the fundamental relationship between humans and animals as well as plants is: Eat or be eaten

Of course, plants also serve other purposes For example, they could be used for timber, materials for construction…

Some would even keep plants for décor

Still others would raise ani thes, some would raise birds or chickens, some would raise turtles, some would raise snakes… … there are a variety of them to choose from

However, the first and foremost relationship between humanity and the other creatures in this world, the ’ is a cruel thing

It is… … to eat or be eaten!

The sah a vegetarian may not eat other animals, that person would still need to eat plants, wheat, rice, etc

An avid dog lover s, chickens, ducks, etc

In other words, it doesn’t matter how much ‘additional properties’ appear within hu creatures, be it love, care, shelter or whatnot…

In the end, thefor how humanity views the other creatures of this world, the one in the first place is still…

Edibility!

This is the truth, an ugly and cruel truth

Ugly truth

This is so determined by the fundamental characteristic of evolution and the primal forces of nature

…

Well, let us look at this froy…

Assume ‘humanity’ is the system, the main system of this world Or Zero City’s syste, the two of them are the same They are the same type of existences

Now assume ‘humanity’ is the system

Then… … those plants, wheat, rice, fruits, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats…

What would those things be?

…

“We…”

Chen Xiaolian suddenly let out a gentle sigh and spoke out that word

…

Are the same

Zero City’s system and the world’s main system are fundamentally the same They are the sa the main system is an able-bodied adult, then Zero City’s systeh their size differs, they are essentially the sa’ and ‘fundamental property’ must naturally be the same!

…

What is the property of the world’s main system?

In Chen Xiaolian’s mind, there is only one word for it

Enslavement!

Indeed, that is Chen Xiaolian’s view on theBe it the ordinary humans in the world, the NPCs or the Awakened ones…

In fact… … Chen Xiaolian had occasionally contemplated this: What are the Players?

From a fundamental perspective, are they any different froh instance dungeons, risk their lives to struggle and kill… …

The systeain and ladiator?

This… … is this the ‘fundamental property’ of the world’s main system?

If so… … what about Zero City?

Appearance wise, Zero City appears to be displaying a different ‘property’

Zero City is ‘protecting’ the Awakened ones It is a safe harbour, a sanctuary

However…

Is that true?

The people inside Zero City, are they not another form of captives?
