Is Saint Shalria Also a Victim?
Why Doesn’t Saint Shalria Know About the Void Century? | Is Saint Shalria Also a Victim?
If the reasons why Saint Shalria doesn’t know about the Void Century are as I’ve outlined, then in a way, she could be considered a victim herself. Personally, I believe that all Celestial Dragons are merely puppets of Imu.
It’s hard to understand why Imu keeps their existence a secret, but the way the Five Elders are absolutely subservient to Imu suggests that it’s not the Celestial Dragons who rule the world, but Imu alone. This means that the Celestial Dragons are merely “tools” used by Imu to control the world. If that’s the case, then not knowing about their past would prevent the emergence of heretics, making them more useful as tools.
I suspect that the Celestial Dragons are collecting the Heavenly Tribute as a means to prevent the surface world from gaining too much power. Their role might not just be one of domination, but also of draining the vitality of the surface-dwellers by frivolously spending the tributes they collect. The stronger their sense of divinity, the more they’ll feel justified in such a lifestyle.
The younger generation of Celestial Dragons like Saint Shalria likely isn’t even taught about their human origins. Instead, they’re indoctrinated with lies to ensure that, despite having human bodies, they believe themselves to be complete gods. This feels like a violation of their human rights in a way.
There’s also a possibility that, among the younger generation of Celestial Dragons, some might develop an interest in the Void Century, leading them to investigate and uncover the truth. This could result in a new wave of heretics emerging within their ranks.
That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading to the end!
