Chapter 153 The end of the world?
Zhou Zhilu was stunned. A concealed truth? What truth? He couldn't help but think of the false historical information about the Zhou family that the Bai family's old lady had given him. What was the connection between the two?
To the right of the two was the windowsill on the fourth floor of Shoutian Tower. Looking over there at this moment, it was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windowsill onto the two of them.
The sunlight shone on the right prime minister's face, adding a touch of melancholy. He spoke slowly, "The historical records popular on the continent today divide the world into two stages: one is the chaotic period of ancient times, and the other is the current dynasty era.
"Oh, but actually this is completely fictional. The real world history is divided into three stages. The oldest is the Genesis you know, followed by the Dark Ages, and finally the Dynasty Age we are in now."
"The Dark Ages? I've never heard of it before." Zhou Zhilu said in surprise.
The Right Prime Minister smiled slightly. "Yes, I've never heard of it, which means someone is covering it up... According to my research, in that era, not only the human race, but also hundreds of other races, including the demon race, all lived in the underground world."
"Underground world?!" Zhou Zhilu said in shock. Could it be that all the humans here evolved from underground people?
The Right Prime Minister glanced at Zhou Zhilu and replied, "They weren't underground people, but rather entered the underground world to escape the apocalypse. However, for some unknown reason, all races, including the demon race, concealed and destroyed the records of this apocalypse. Only a few clues remain in some ancient ruins and secret caches created by the dead powerful."
Zhou Zhilu was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Sir, since all races in the world are covering up this history, why do you insist on digging it up again?"
The Right Prime Minister looked out the window at the capital and replied, "Even if I told you, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it... Due to the unique nature of my cultivation path, I once glimpsed the future when I was promoted to the ninth level."
The sun was setting outside the window, and the sky was gradually shrouded in darkness. Inside the Shoutian Tower, the Right Prime Minister slowly said, "During that time, I saw the mountains and rivers breaking apart, the earth drying up, earthquakes and tsunamis occurring frequently, the entire sky covered in thick smoke and dust, the world was in darkness, and there were countless dry bones on the ground.
"The end of the world has come again."
Zhou Zhilu did not respond for a long time. The information revealed by the Right Prime Minister today was so shocking that even he, a time traveler, found it difficult to digest.
"The... the end of the world? When will it be? Maybe a thousand or ten thousand years from now?" Zhou Zhilu laughed dryly. If the end of the world were to come countless years from now, he wouldn't have to worry too much. His descendants would have their own blessings...
"About a hundred years later." The right prime minister's brief answer made Zhou Zhilu stop thinking for a moment.
A hundred years from now?! The end of the world?
Zhou Zhilu really wanted to ask if he had miscalculated, but he didn't dare. The person sitting opposite him was a ninth-level person. How could a fourth-level person like him dare to question a ninth-level person?
As for the "Book of the Realm", this kind of information is too vague to be authenticated.
Zhou Zhilu had tried it before, but even the most basic method required accurate predictions down to a specific year. And a hundred years from now… he couldn't keep trying year after year, right? And what kind of apocalypse would it be? A war between races? A planetary explosion?
Sure enough, the Right Prime Minister said, "We still don't know the cause and method of the apocalypse, so for now we can only investigate in secret, and what we are looking for is the key!
"It's unclear who holds the key to escaping the apocalypse, but they must be aware of the apocalypse. Since they haven't leaked any information, I'm afraid they might be planning something."
"The key...are we the only ones investigating?" Zhou Zhilu asked with a little concern.
The Right Prime Minister smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, we are not alone. There is a group of people exploring the ancient secrets in the distance. When they return, the truth will be revealed.
"Before that, I need the Zhou family's ability to verify the history circulating on the continent and correct the erroneous information."
Zhou Zhilu's heart skipped a beat, he knew the power of his "Book of Boundaries"!
Other ancient families, such as the Yu family and the Bai family, only had a partial understanding of the capabilities of the "Book of Boundaries", but judging from the appearance of the Right Prime Minister, it was obvious that they understood it better.
Zhou Zhilu was hesitant. Firstly, this information came too suddenly. Secondly, he was worried about his future situation. He was only a fourth-level cultivator now...
The Right Prime Minister waved his hand, and two teacups and a kettle appeared out of thin air in front of him. He filled the teacups with tea and pushed them in front of Zhou Zhilu, saying, "You don't really have a choice."
Zhou Zhilu was slightly stunned.
"You are the only one in the entire Song Dynasty who has inherited the Zhou family's legacy. What I value is not you, but the ability of your Zhou family, so I can't let you leave."
The Right Prime Minister raised his head, looked at Zhou Zhilu calmly, and said, "Only by participating can you grow faster. If you don't want to die in the apocalypse, you only have one choice."
Then he held out his hand for tea.
Zhou Zhilu took a deep breath and said, "I just have one question."
"explain."
"Do you know anyone with a fox head tattoo on their wrist, or someone who can...travel through worlds?"
The Right Prime Minister's eyes were filled with confusion. "I don't know who has the fox head tattoo. If you need me, I can send someone to find him. As for traveling across worlds... Oh, if I could accomplish that, would I still be here? I would have pacified all parties long ago."
Zhou Zhilu no longer hesitated after hearing this. He picked up the teacup in front of him and said respectfully, "Thank you for your support, sir!"
