The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4778

Chapter 4778 Primordial

What Helena said at the end shocked Ves beyond his wits.

If there was one big regret in his life, it was his sorrow that his mother hadn't lived long enough for him to grow up under her care.

Though he had reached the age where he no longer particularly yearned for his mother's care, he still possessed a lot of affection for the woman who gave him birth and provided him with his happiest early memories.

Even though the current version of his mother diverged considerably from the gentle and pleasant woman that he remembered from his past, that did not change the fact that he loved her like any child would feel towards a parent.

If there was a way for him to bring Cynthia Larkinson back to life in the flesh, he would definitely pounce on the opportunity.

No matter how difficult it was or how many resources he had to expend in order to make it happen, he would find a way to get it done so that his father could finally spend the rest of his life with his loved one in a more ideal fashion!

Ves stared at this skull which seamlessly contained spiritual energy from two different sources without mixing them up. He did not know why this was important or how it was related to bringing his mother back to life, but he needed an explanation from his spiritual sister!

He turned towards her. Right now, the woman glowed with so much joy that she looked as if she had literally risen from the grave!

"You need to tell me more, Helena. Start with explaining the differences between baseline humans and these so-called primordial humans."

"They are both humans, just like how dwarves are humans that just happened to be built differently." Helena replied. "The differences between modern baseline humans and ancient primordial humans cover other areas, though. In your world, it is similar to the differences between a budget mech and a premium mech, no, expert mech!"

"Are you calling modern humans like myself the cheap and inferior version of the human race?" Ves frowned.

"Baseline humans are not inferior, Ves. It is not my intention to insult this group. They are a product of their times, and the same applies to primordial humans. Many eons ago, human society as you can call it used to be a lot grander. The humans that lived at that time were all powerful beyond what you can imagine. These were glorious times, and one that can not be equaled anymore because the galaxy is no longer able to sustain primordial humans anymore."

Although Ves had already speculated that this might be the case, he still couldn't remain skeptical of this outlandish story.

"Weren't humans supposed to be cave dwellers on Earth at the time?"

"Oh, Ves."

"Hey! It is a legitimate question!"

"This is not an easy question to answer." Helena answered in a more reluctant tone than before. "Our mother has given me a history lesson, but she merely brushed over the major events. I suspect that she does not know much about those periods either. What I can tell you was that a cataclysm occurred that fundamentally broke the Milky Way and possibly regions. The galaxy never became the same again and much of what made primordial humans great... could not be repeated anymore. Do not ask me what happened next. I can only say that after all of the dust has settled, primordial humans have left the stage and the group that you call 'baseline humans' have become the dominant strain."

"..."

This was a heavy history lesson even if it was woefully light on the details. Ves had so many questions that he didn't know where to begin.

"Let me guess." Ves eventually spoke. "The reason why David's skeleton is a suitable raw material to bring our real mother back to life is because... she is also a primordial human, right?"

Helena gave him a brilliant smile. "That is so. Do you know why she is so powerful in life as well as in her unlife? Her race plays a large role in her rise. Primordial humans are powerful, Ves. They are naturally gifted and can easily master powers that are out of reach to baseline humans."

"Are you sure our mother is descended from this group? You just told me that primordial humans went extinct." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"Since when did I say that, brother? I merely mentioned that they have left the stage. That does not mean they have all died out. It is true that the vast majority of primordial humans have died out, but there are still ways for a small population of remnants to maintain small, isolated populations. These enclaves have survived for many ages and some of them still exist up to this day."

Ves became less surprised than before. It was easy enough for him to make this guess after learning that his mother was a descendant of this small but extremely special group of ancient humans.

It explained so much, to be honest.

major strains of humanity working together, their civilization wouldn't have been able to survive the most difficult period and expand so quickly once they gained their stride. It is only later on that "Does the Five Scrolls Compact consist of primordial humans as well?"

Helena nodded. "Not entirely, but their upper ranks may as well be completely comprised of them. The leaders of the Compact take great pride in their bloodlines and heritage. As you can imagine, they consider themselves to be racially superior to all of the other variants of humans that are part of modern human society. They have always believed that it is their birthright to reign over lesser humans. They do not even consider baseline humans to be of the same kind as theirs."

That sounded awfully familiar to how the orvens structured their society. The gulf between the upper castes and the lower castes were so enormous that the orvens could not fathom they could get along with each other as equals.

"The Age of Conquest. That was driven by the Five Scrolls Compact, right?" He asked.

"You can say that about the Age of Stars as well, but you can also argue that baseline humans were already doing well for themselves. Mother describes it more as a collective effort. Without the two major strains of humanity working together, their civilization wouldn't have been able to survive the most difficult period and expand so quickly once they gained their stride. It is only later on that differences arose that became increasingly more difficult to resolve."

It was interesting how Helena framed the rebellion of the MTA and CFA as a political affair. The greater truth was probably a lot more profound, and he bet that the Sacred Scrolls played a large role in the disputes.

"Let us get back on track." Ves said. "How does taking David's skeleton back to mother help with bringing her back to life? If she is one of these so-called primordial humans, isn't it easier to just dig up her grave and clone new flesh to wrap around her extremely valuable bones?"
