The blue magpie floated in the air and pondered for a while.
"I can't answer this question, Luo Han." It said somewhat helplessly, "If all predictions no longer point to eternal light, we have no way to verify whether it is really an inevitable phenomenon. Maybe it has been from the beginning. It is a huge misunderstanding, and maybe it will still happen according to the predetermined results... There are still many uncertain factors in all this. Although the mages have studied it for so long, most of the important prophecies can still be fully interpreted after the fact. And even if your Assuming it comes true, this is not feasible at the implementation level.”
"Why? Because the darkness in the world is not enough to create Teng?"
"Can you imagine how many times the eternal light prophecy that meets the elements has appeared? There are more than 900 credible versions recorded in the White Tower alone. They were made by different civilizations in different star layers. This does not include those What about the ancient laws of seclusion? How can you fulfill them all in advance? You can erase ten thousand prophecies, but as long as one is missing, it will still be an eternal light prophecy. Even if you fulfill it in advance All existing prophecies have been eliminated. As long as 'Eternal Light' is an inevitable phenomenon, there will be new prophecies appearing. If you just close your eyes, it won't make the whole world disappear, do you understand?"
Luo Binhan nodded wordlessly, but Lan Que came over hesitantly.
"Maybe I shouldn't ask so much," it said, "but why would you want to erase the Eternal Light Prophecy? We don't know yet whether that's a good thing or a bad thing."
"I just think 'eternal light' sounds a little unlucky." Luo Binhan said with a shrug.
He mumbled a few words to divert attention, and said he wanted to see more of the savages' murals, so Blue Magpie forgot to delve deeper and continued to lead him inside.
Everything in the cave has been preserved with great care, but time has still left its mark after all. The murals that are more than a thousand years old are somewhat faded and blurred, while the stone piles that have been completely bonded to the ground prove that no large-scale earthquake has occurred in this area for thousands of years.
Blue Magpie showed Luo Binhan many trivial but interesting records: how the savages learned to use the bladders of beasts to control the number of offspring; after a certain solar eclipse, the production of mud leaves and stems tripled, leading to the first death in history. Appears in people with acute gastric dilatation; there was once a patriarch known for his perverse temper who tried to launch a government war and establish a unified kingdom belonging to the savages.
The third story has a particularly lengthy mural. Luo Binhan also thought this was strange in a world full of prophets and magicians. He couldn't help but ask Lan Que a few more questions.
"This record has been recorded for too long, and there is no guarantee that it is completely true and correct." Lan Que said, "My understanding is roughly this: the bad-tempered patriarch went to the opposite world and felt that it was prosperous and lively. He wanted to learn from the opposite side, Let the local residents live there, but the prophets were opposed to his idea. In anger, he decided to kill all the prophets, including his biological mother. One of his sons could not bear this atrocity, so he poisoned him Killed. As punishment for killing his father, he castrated himself and was appointed by the prophets to guard the passage. He was also the earliest chief of the Wuda tribe."
Luo Binhan sighed: "This is really a kind father and a filial son. But in fact, there is no need to move. Can't they grab a few people from the opposite side and come here to teach?"
"That's very difficult to succeed... Alas, you can't change the basic characteristics of a star layer, which is crucial to the development of civilization. For example, the native civilization on the trap belt will be interfered by the ether element and will never be able to pass through. Particle detection has calculated the tunneling equation, and the trace amount of ether element is not enough to make them fall to the law. Unless there is a natural tunneling channel in their star layer, they will be trapped in their own world."
Luo Binhan shrugged and said, "That's actually not bad."
"It's okay!" Lan Que said indignantly, "You don't understand the situation of the civilization in the trap zone, Luo Han. They are simply living in constant misery and suffering. Let's not talk about the impact of development level on the quality of life. They can also easily be used as slaves and experimental materials..."
"And the spaceship potted plants." Luo Binhan interjected, looking at the sky.
"... Mature intellectual civilizations always use trap tapes as simulators of sociological theories, and later they began to use trap tapes to collect energy and manipulate ether, such as the stone heart incubator, the preaching heavenly official, and the fruit-granting demon …The final results in these cases are terrible. The Ancient Lawmen are not very interested in trap tapes, unless they want to keep slaves, but one of their hairs is dangerous enough for trap tapes.”
The White Tower apprentice said seriously: "This is really, really bad, Luo Han. The Fire Thief has made several proposals to assist in improving the trap belt, but has received very little response. Now the mainstream view in the alliance is that the Galaxy Front is The primary task."
Luo Binhan nodded perfunctorily to express his understanding. He thought he had nothing to complain about. After all, his hometown was also prone to wars, and he had never considered cultivating wild animals into talents.
They walked to the deepest part of the cave, all the way to the source of the history of the savages. There are paintings of the "God of Night" and the "God of Ashes" who appeared three thousand years ago.
They were two images that clearly came from the sky, but it was difficult for Luo Binhan to understand the reason why they were named. The "God of Night" looks like a thin old man in black; the "God of Ashes" is taller and younger, but has horns, wings and a tail. If it weren't for the flat and straight chest of that image, Luo Binhan would even suspect that he was Ya Lailiga who came here to raise fish three thousand years ago.
The stone pile records about these two gods are very limited. They only tell future generations that they were supreme and great. They brought mud leaf seeds and farming methods to the tribes, and thus got rid of famine and ignorance. As for the origin of their title, there is no explanation in the mural. Everything is covered up in the long river of the past.
Finally, Luo Binhan felt a little tired. He remembered that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and the fatigue became more intense on the way back. He couldn't help but sit on the side of the road and rest for a while.
Lan Que also sat next to him and stared blankly. Luo Binhan didn't have the ability to read minds, but he guessed that it was thinking about the Ten Thousand Insects Butterfly Mother.
"What kind of enemies are we facing?" He asked Lan Que, "The Ten Thousand Insects Butterfly Mother? And the Initial Dream? What are these things doing?"
Lan Que sighed and said a little unspeakably: "I really hope I can answer your question, Luo Han. I believe that a mage should be powerful - knowledgeable and well-trained, smart and calm, able to deal with everything. There is a way. But the fact is that even the most powerful managers in the Camarilla do not know many things."
"for example?"
"That's too much, Luo Han. You can even say everything... We can only put forward theories and predict rules based on observed events, but rules are always fragile among stars. Maybe tomorrow we You will find that 'ether' is a completely wrong concept, and maybe the entire theoretical system of the White Tower will fall apart in the next second. These are all possible. In the past, the alliance has made at least hundreds of 'worst case scenario' plans."
The skeleton lowered its head dejectedly, which made Luo Binhan feel a little strange.
"Worst case scenario? You mean the Galaxy Front collapsed?"
"No, no, no, the war is only a war of the alliance, it is insignificant to the White Tower. The 'worst case scenario' refers to the 'Great Burning Tribulation', or the 'Gray Horse Disaster', 'Twilight Sun', and 'The End of the Way'. At present, We only heard that the Blackstone Country in the Undistant Territory successfully survived this disaster and submitted relevant records to the Alliance. Because of this incident, they even became the latest candidate for October - but if one day this disaster does not happen in A certain star level, but within the entire alliance? The Fire Thief called on the top meeting to prepare for this possibility, but what can we do at that time?"
It twitched its fingers. Luo Binhan looked at the colorful stars in the sky, one of which was as red as fire and particularly bright. The stars dazzled him and made him want to sleep unconsciously.
"I shouldn't mention these depressing things." He heard Blue Magpie say in his drowsiness, "Back to your question just now. Regarding the Ten Thousand Insect Butterfly Mother, it is a destructive phenomenon of forming swarm-minded creatures. No need. Depending on the requirements of a specific species or environment, any sufficient number of basic organisms can form a hatchling. When they are sufficiently intelligent, they can disguise themselves as any form of civilization or individual, and call themselves the 'Mother of Ten Thousand Insects'. As for the initial dream It is a personality mutation disorder of unknown origin that usually occurs in mentally sensitive young pansapien women."
"...a disease." Luo Binhan muttered dissatisfiedly. His eyelids began to fight.
"The mages can't find a better explanation, Luo Han. All the 'initial dreams' have not undergone qualitative changes in their bodies and souls. They just weaken rapidly as the number of sleeps increases. Of course, they will also claim that they and the other two phenomena all serve the 'True Moon', but there is no evidence to verify the authenticity of these words. If they are really some kind of technological product, it is completely beyond the scope of our understanding, so the alliance officially They can only be described as hysterical patients - just like primitive civilizations regarded all natural phenomena as mysteries in their infancy, the patients in the 'primary dream' also fantasized about the 'true moon' as the source of the disease. In fact, they are just a group of hysterical patients. The mad oracular singer..."
Luo Binhan snorted lowly. His head had dropped, and his eyes were hazy and dim, with only the star of blood and fire shining.
"Who is the third fisherman?" he asked inarticulately before falling asleep.
"Fisherman?"
"Chu...Zong...with whom?"
Before he could finish the sentence, his consciousness fell towards the gentle and dark dreamland. Amidst the sound of the wind that seemed real and false, he heard the sound of a blue magpie coming from high up.
"Luo Han...you mean Observer Zero One?"
He nodded in his dream, wondering if Lan Que could see his movements.
"That is...paradise...wisdom..."
The blue magpie’s voice became increasingly blurry.
"...is called the 'Most Holy Gospel'."
