"You said humans? Are you sure about that na? You don't co from Karna, do you?"
Jason was confused to hear these questions.
This was only obvious because the human at the peak of the Prismar stage seed to be confused, shocked, and at the sa ti interested in what Jason had said earlier.
"I'm not from Karna… and neither do I know anything about this place or planet! We call ourselves humans on the planet I co from, but I don't know where the na cos from…."
The earlier excitent of the middle-aged man died down after hearing Jason's words.
As such, he was able to stay level-headed as he spoke.
"Hm...that's a sha. Either way, my na is Alf Nas, just call Nas. Those little brats behind are my students, and the fox….well it's a Di Skalyr Fox…"
Jason just smiled before he introduced himself. After that, the other students introduced themselves one by one.
Even though his mana core rank clearly showed that he was at a much lower cultivation base than the others, they seed to be kind to him.
This was nice to see, and much better than he could have hoped for.
'Did I worry too much about unfounded issues?' Jason wondered before he retracted Artemis' wings.
His curiosity about the place called Karna was piqued, which made him want to know more about it. As such, he asked straightforwardly.
"If it's not too much to ask for as a stranger, what exactly is this place called Karna, and what is so special about my race calling themselves humans?
Aren't you all humans too, or are we all a different race?"
With the multitude of questions, everyone eyed Jason weirdly for a mont, thinking that these were questions everyone should know the answer to.
anwhile, the Di Skalyr Fox simply turned around and left.
Suddenly, Nan, the oldest of the students, couldn't help but blurt out.
"How co you don't know about the origin of humans, if you call yourself one? That's weird…"
The others had the sa question in mind, but they had refrained from voicing their opinion for the fear of coming across as rude.
However, Jason didn't mind the question and pondered about it for a mont before answering.
"Our planet is still in the infant phase and had awoken its mana heart just a little bit over 300 years ago. Because of that, our knowledge is still relatively shallow, let alone the average of our cultivation rank and so on…"
Sighing deeply, Jason felt depressed while comparing the resources on Manyr with those on Argos.
Yet, only a mont later, Nas, who was curious about the existence of a human-like race that cultivated in the cultivation path of Maest, asked,
"If your planet is only at the infant phase, you should be considered to be one of their strongest prodigies, or am I wrong? You should be in your 20s, but your mana core has already reached the mid of the 4th Lique stage.
That's almost comparable to the youths that were raised on Manyr!
From your mana fluctuations, I can tell that your combat prowess should be much higher than that as well!
That's not bad at all!"
While asking a question with an obvious answer, Alf Nas observed Jason's body language, trying to figure out if there were any signs of hostility displayed by the young man.
Except for the bare minimum movents Jason did, showing how great his control over his body was, Alf Nas didn't detect anything.
As such, he cald down, thinking that the young man in front of him was probably not dangerous to them.
Despite that, he stayed vigilant because body language was not everything that counted when encountering a stranger.
Mishaps were likely to occur when eting a trespasser and being responsible for his students' safety, he couldn't allow anyone to endanger them!
Jason knew that Nas didn't want to receive an answer because it was obvious what the answer to the question was.
As such, he repeated his question about Karna and the human race that seed to be special.
After Alf Nas had observed Jason enough, he decided that he could answer the young man's question.
Jason was extrely interesting, and the fact that he called his race human, while having wings he could retract, a stigma and an aura that radiated more holiness than the Aeus he encountered, fueled his curiosity further, increasing it exponentially.
"According to the ancestry tos, most human-like races have evolved from the so-called Primal humans.
They're said to be among the first intelligent life forms in the Universe, but that is sothing nobody was ever able to substantiate!
The primal humans had been exposed to the first tidal waves of the raw energies we are now using to cultivate our strength.
Adjusting and evolving through the tornt energies, the primal humans that had been living on the planet Karna slowly transford, turning into the first beings of new races.
Over eons, many races were created through this phenonon, and only a few particular individuals retained their old looks as Primal humans.
For example, the majority of your appearance resembles that of a human, if we were to leave out your stigma, golden eyes, and the wings on your back.
We are the sa, and most of us call ourselves Hyuman, or Manyrs, simply after the na of the planet.
This thod of nonclature is what most human-like races with a close relation to the old Primal human race follow.
Your race might do the sa in the future after they acquire the necessary knowledge to know that they're not Primal humans and that their race's na could be misleading!"
Jason just nodded his head, trying to make sense of what Alf Nas had just said.
'So, the Primal humans can be said to be the origin of many races that look like humans….is that why there are so many human-like races, even on Argos?
Just how much ti must have passed to create countless races through evolution?!?'
Sohow, it made sense to adapt by adjusting to the environnt and external pressure, but not enough to create billions of races…
'Maybe from those that had changed, they continued to evolve, turning into beings further away from their origin?'
"So...simply put, all human-like races could...hypothetically call themselves humans?"
He wanted to make sure that his assumption was correct and thus asked straightforwardly.
"No, only your race, the Manyrs and others that have the sa appearance and possibly, also the sa genetic pool as the old primal humans, can call themselves 'Humans'. This is mostly because the ancestry tos say that you should only call those beings as humans that can procreate with each other!
However, even that is a little bit too open-minded in my opinion because Aeus and Devir can also procreate with each other, and nobody would dare to put them under one umbrella!!"
Jason nodded his head once again, his eyes gleaming lightly as he thought about the young woman he had encountered four months earlier.
At the sa ti, the thought of his father flashed through his mind, making him wonder whether the Celestia race was also so sort of human race that had evolved from the Primal human race.
This seed unlikely, and Jason could only take the last sentence said by Nas as an answer.
'I cannot put everything under an umbrella…what kind of stupid saying is that?!?'
Shaking his head, Jason looked at the group of Manyrs as he wondered.
'Just how many human races are out in the universe? Have all of them evolved, turning into other races, or have they retained their appearance?'
