Heaven showed mercy, giving them the space to survive and advance; if Heaven did not show such mercy, then a calamitous disaster would wipe out their entire race from history, as if turned to ash and smoke, stripping them of even a sliver of a chance to proliferate.
Humans often envied their profound mana and longevity, little realizing that they envied humans for the preferential treatment that even Heaven seemed to bestow.
Take this disaster, for example: with such an earth-shattering catastrophe upon them, although human lives had grown difficult, they still possessed the strength to bravely resist upon the earth, and even if they were barely hanging on, at least there was hope.
Yet as the fox had said, their races seemed to have all but vanished.
No, it would be more accurate to say that there was still it, the fox, and the unawakened Little Red Snake in Su Shu's space.
However, if only they three remained in the world, was it truly a cause for celebration?
