Chapter 2660 Different From Demon Beasts
"During the research for a way to fix our problem with birth rate and bloodline, we ended up b.u.mping into something else," Bunbun explained outside. "This something was what caused this world to be filled with these new laws, the same Chaos Laws you talk about."
Rean was surprised. "How a bloodline research bring out Chaos Laws? It doesn"t seem to have much of a conn- no, wait! I see..."
Bunbun faintly smiled. "You noticed?"
Rean nodded as he sighed. "Yes, the change in your bloodline, the sudden evolution speed that surpa.s.sed anything anyone had ever seen in the natural world. We found it hard to believe that a bloodline would grow this strong without outside manipulation... and it seems like we were right."
Kentucky was curious. "What are you talking about?"
Bunbun then explained. "The thing you call Chaos Laws. They were the reason for the sudden change in our Bloodline."

"No wonder your evolution was so drastical," Roan commented. "The Loporrits mentioned that anything that gets in contact with Chaos Laws could change completely. Your body could suddenly become a jumbled mess of different elements that made no sense if you didn"t protect yourself with Chaos Laws Cultivation." Roan said that as he looked at the memories of that discovery.
Lolio sighed, looking at the same memories. "That"s correct. In the end, we found out that what caused our bloodline to evolve at such a frightening pace was none other than those weird laws, which you call Chaos Laws. They had the power to change everything, and these laws changed our bodies" structure. We evolved faster than anyone, but that also brought the birth rate issue."
Roan pondered a bit. "But... how did a planet in the mortal realm even get in contact with the Chaos Laws?"
---
"We also had the same question," Bunbun answered Rean outside. "There wasn"t anything special with our planet... or so we thought. Obviously, we were wrong. Still, there were many doubts. For example, why only we, Loporrits, were affected by it? There were so many more races in our world, so it didn"t make much sense.... at first."
Rean attempted a guess. "Chaos Laws, when in contact with such a low-level race, would definitely do a lot more than just cause a change in the evolution rate. Truth be told, you shouldn"t have even survived if you got in contact with it with your cultivations back then. No, you pretty much didn"t even have a cultivation at that time, right?"
Bunbun nodded. "That"s right."
Rean continued. "Yet, you were alive and got a big boost. What did that mean? That meant the amount of Chaos Laws your race got in contact with was so low that it only altered your bloodline a bit. Of course, that small alteration caused it to evolve at a frightening pace. At the same time, this little bit of Chaos Laws was not enough to reach other races. Your Loporrit Race just so happened to be in the right place at the right time... or perhaps the wrong place at the wrong time, depending on how you see this "gift.""
Bunbun didn"t deny that. "We also reached the same conclusion."
It was then that Rean noticed something. "Wait!"
---
Roan looked at the memories and saw that the Loporrits had reached the same conclusion as Rean. Lolio also talked as the images went by. "So, we got in contact with a very small bit of Chaos Laws, just enough to change our bloodlines. When we understood that, we reached a conclusion. Where did we first get in contact with these Chaos Laws? Obviously, it had to be our planet, but where?"
"The place from where the Loporrits originally came from," Roan mentioned. He didn"t even need to look at the memories to understand this much. As mentioned before, the Loporrits evolved fast, but they were still weak at first. They had to change their burrow locations several times during their journey. Lolio nodded. "Exactly. I immediately went through the old records of our race. However, you have to understand that when we first became sentient, we weren"t exactly intelligent. We were just newborns, and it took a long time for us to gain enough intelligence to think about recording things."
"It wasn"t too much of a problem," Roan mentioned. "During the time that you weren"t very intelligent, I highly doubt your race would move your burrow locations too far away from the previous ones. You only had to go down the oldest records and see how far in the past you could reach. Wherever the oldest records pointed at, your very first burrow, the one where you got in contact with Chaos Laws, would definitely be somewhere nearby."
"Seems like you also inherited my intelligence, not only my personality," Lolio mentioned with a sigh.
Roan didn"t quite like that notion, but it was probably correct.

"So... did you find the place where your Loporrit Race first got in contact with the Chaos Laws?" Celis also heard the same story from Bunbun before asking.
Bunbun thought about the past. "We did, and I was with the group that went to look for it."
Rean then remembered something. "Now that I think about it, that tower everyone is moving towards seems to be the source of the Chaos Laws in this world. Was the tower also the reason for that little bit of Choas Laws in the past?"
Bunbun confirmed straight away. "Yes, what we found we none other than the very tip of that tower... From it, Kafan immediately felt the presence of those weird laws. There were even a few remnants of our burrows there from the time we weren"t intelligent creatures, just a few kilometers up. It seems like although only a tiny bit of Chaos Laws reached the deepest part of our burrows, our exposure to these laws was quite long. Indeed, just enough to alter our bloodlines."
---
Lolio then looked at Roan in the Sea of Mind. "The Loporrits mentioned to you we weren"t Demon Beasts, right?" Roan nodded and waited for Lolio to continue. "They were not lying, we weren"t Demon Beasts. We were even lower than that. We were nothing more than simple mortal animals without any cores, truly nothing but a bunch of prey others fed on. Even now that we are intelligent and have our cores, we are still different from Demon Beasts."
