'Even a civilization belonging to us Divine Beasts is still a civilization... No matter how savage and fierce, no matter how disliked by the Immortal Gods, it is still a civilization.'
The earnest teachings of the Primordial Ancestors flashed through Ghost Car's mind like an epiphany.
'That's right, the Primordial Ancestors said it long ago. They spoke of this possibility... but all the Divine Beasts had forgotten.'
Greed had gnawed away at their minds, and desire had drowned their Souls. Based on their own whims, they had plunged other beings into grief and bloodshed. Though they possessed immense power, it only caused their civilization to stagnate. Their great Talents granted them innate might, yet left them perpetually unsatisfied. Civilization taught them exploitation, and wisdom made them cold and merciless.
The Divine Beasts wanted too much, yet felt too little. Their lives were devoid of friendship and sympathy, to say nothing of pity.
