I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Ma pondered and said:

"And the thing they created is the current Federation?"

Roman nodded:

"You could say that. Now we refer to what these subspecies initially joined forces to create as the 'Human Race Survival Status Baseline,' the ultimate goal of which was to forcibly achieve equality in the status of all human races.

"Even in some of the iterated versions, our race was also included in this mechanism, but we can no longer know whether they would ultimately allow us to survive, because all the subspecies were deceived by your extremely cunning and cruel ancestors, including us.

"This is extremely ironic, because the Perfected Ones who consumed your flesh and blood had a higher average intelligence level than you, and theoretically should have had a higher limit of intelligence, but we didn't realize the lies you fabricated.

"Of course, we also know that intelligence is not equal to wisdom, and some things are not necessarily more likely to succeed with higher intelligence. After all, you had countless opportunities, but we could only fail once.

"Moreover, the inhuman life was permeated with intense hatred, resentment, anger, and fear. This was the nourishment for your ancestors to come up with that plan later. These things made you surpass our understanding.

"Spoiled people can't imagine what slaves can do.

"The truth is that your ancestors betrayed the other subspecies members, deliberately causing those subspecies geniuses who were no longer needed to betray them, or secretly killing them, plunging the remaining subspecies members into complete despair and hatred, and when they completely gave up hope of resistance…"

"They only had one extremely simple wish in their hearts, which was to destroy us. Your ancestors perfectly used their pain and hatred to persuade them to change the way this weapon operated.

"Then, the 'Sapien Dominance Baseline' was born."

Ma thought of what Shadow had said:

"The effect of this thing is to allow Sapiens to maintain their dominant position on this planet, right? But how exactly does it achieve this? I can't see how it works at all."

Roman replied:

"That's normal. It's not a tangible entity. If it were, it wouldn't be able to threaten our prosperous dynasty. We didn't see it at all at first.

"Moreover, it doesn't rely on a few people, or any special devices or magic rituals. If it has any carrier in the material universe we can access, it might be your race.

"In the process of forging the baseline, various subspecies held terrible activities similar to large-scale sacrifices, and countless mortals became its fuel in this process.

"In the beginning, your ancestors colluded with other subspecies geniuses, using hatred, fear, and despair to make it difficult to continue deceiving their compatriots into self-sacrifice. By the end of the plan, almost all subspecies began to actively slaughter their own kind, and this process in turn affected you.

"It caused you extremely bad side effects and scars. The average intelligence of Sapiens back then was 30% higher than your current average intelligence, and your flesh and blood and souls were more harmonious.

"But these sacrifices were worth it. Your flesh and blood bodies, souls, and consciousness are all closely integrated with it. It has become a part of you, and you have become a part of it.

"But it's not just these. Another very important factor that allowed you to succeed smoothly was that there was a very magical creature at that time. You can call them Ancient Fairies. These creatures themselves did not have particularly strong combat power, because their own 'reality' was extremely stable.

"But they could easily interfere with external reality, so these beautiful and powerful creatures, in our opinion, possessed almost incredible miraculous powers.

"Simply put, they can fulfill the wishes of other creatures.

"At the same time, they also have extremely noble virtues, and are only willing to fulfill the wishes of those they approve of. A long time ago, a kind-hearted wisher created a barrier to ensure that they would not be found.

"Therefore, no more vicious monsters would try to use them, and this wish was very successful. Indeed, no one found them again, but they took the initiative to find one of your kind ancestors.

"They saw your pain and torment, and saw our evil deeds, so these fairies gave you the opportunity to save all living beings, but unfortunately they were not enough to directly overthrow our enslavement.

"A single fairy does not have such great power, and after your kind ancestor reported this matter to your leader, he immediately thought of a solution, which was to gather the power of all the fairies.

"But when he proposed this idea through the kind Sapien, the fairies rejected him. He said that although they could barely fulfill this wish in an extremely crude way, this process would also cause terrible results that they did not want to see, and many innocent people would be erased in this process.

"Unless all the fairies were willing to spend a long time preparing, not to mention that other fairies had not yet agreed, even if they were all willing to do so, you might not be able to wait, so your ancestors changed their minds.

"He had that kind-hearted chosen one make a wish. Then, this beautiful and kind creature never appeared again, and at the same time, the prototype of the 'Human Race Survival Status Baseline' appeared.

"Because we only investigated these things later, we can't know all the details, but we generally speculate that your ancestors either did something terrible to the Ancient Fairies, making them afraid to show up in front of us again, or…"

"This race has been extremely cruelly exterminated."

Roman didn't seem to want to accuse anyone when telling this history, because he knew very well that what they did to Sapiens was definitely far more terrible than this. In the final analysis, they were the source of evil.

Evil only breeds evil, and hatred always nourishes hatred.

"In the end, your ancestors killed all the other enslaved subspecies, and they were also subjected to our cruel cleansing and slaughter. The genius who proposed this plan was also executed extremely quickly and efficiently.

"But no one realized at the time what his calm appearance of going to his death meant.

"He had completed the 'Sapien Dominance Baseline.'"
