Chapter 668: Explaining Theology with Science



"If the Exodus is not just legend but real history, then it must have a reasonable solution!"

“Then the Hebrews must have found wisdom to deal with disasters!”

"We should try to use scientific methods to decipher those ancient stories and find hidden clues!"

When Feng Feng heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if the fire of hope was ignited by Tanai's words.

"You mean, using science to interpret mythology?"

It sounds crazy and challenging, but maybe it's the breakthrough they need.

Feng Feng was deeply touched by these words, frowned and fell into deep thought.

When Jin Shile heard this, a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes, as if some kind of inspiration had ignited him.

"Yes! The Egyptian gods seemed to be dead. Ramses performed several sacrifices but failed to bring them out."

"Doesn't this just prove that this disaster isn't just a simple confrontation of divine power?"

"It requires us to use our wisdom and think from another perspective!"

"This isn't about using magic to defeat magic in an illusion, but... it's about putting yourself in someone else's shoes!"

Upon hearing this, Mai Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with confidence.

"Yes, I remember that there was more than one scientific explanation for the Ten Plagues in history, and each one was full of scientific logic and rationality!"

"Perhaps the illusion conforms to the rules within it?"

Yunyang was surprised and couldn't help but admire Mai Xuan's erudition and talent.

"How do you know everything?" He's like a walking encyclopedia!

As long as other people mention it, he can immediately help them find further clues.

Mai Xuan smiled slightly and shook his head modestly.

"No, no, I only know a little bit."

"After all, in this age of information explosion, it's always good to know more."

Seeing this, Jin Shile became even more proud and put his hands on his hips.

"Well, impressive, right? The boss always picks up a book and reads it when he's free. It's no exaggeration to say he's well-read!"

Upon hearing this, Mai Xuan curled up the corner of his mouth into an imperceptible smile.

But then he waved his hands in a serious manner, with a bit of excitement and excitement in his eyes.

"Hey, keep a low profile, keep a low profile. We have to maintain some mystery, right?"

Jin Shile changed the subject, deliberately lowered his voice, and continued mysteriously:

"And, you know what? The boss is not only knowledgeable, but also knows all the gossip and rumors on the streets... well!"

Before he could finish his words, Mai Xuan was quick to cover his mouth.

There was a hint of threat in his eyes, as if to say, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll give you a try."

"This guy, how come he has no sense of propriety and just spills the beans?"

Aren’t you afraid that you will become a laughing stock one day?

Mai Xuan secretly complained in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface, obviously trying to maintain his image and face in public.

Jin Shile's face turned red from being covered with his hands, his eyes were wide open, and he only uttered a series of unclear protests.

"Well...I'm really praising you!"

Although the voice was vague, the expression that was both sincere and funny instantly made the atmosphere around them much more relaxed.

Looking at the two people playing around, Yunyang had a faint smile on his face.

His eyes were full of appreciation and admiration.

"As expected of a member of the Hermit Society."

Not only is his extraordinary strength far superior to others, but his knowledge is also very broad.

He thought to himself that even before this era when extraordinary powers gradually emerged.

People like them are bound to be the targets of all major forces vying to win over.

Seeing this, Feng Feng shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, alright, stop making such a fuss, we're still in the illusion, business is more important."

There was a hint of urging in his words, and his gaze turned to Mai Xuan.

"Boss, tell me, how much information do you have about the scientific causes of the Ten Plagues?"

Seeing this, Mai Xuan nodded slightly and made an "OK" gesture.

"no problem!"

Jin Shile took the opportunity to escape from his clutches: "Huh - I finally survived!"

Mai Xuan rolled his eyes and ignored Jin Shile who deserved a beating.

He motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Then he took a deep breath and said in a steady and powerful voice:

"There are indeed many different scientific explanations for the Ten Plagues, but there are two that are most widely circulated and attract the most attention."

"First, the ecological imbalance caused by the prolonged drought, coupled with the sudden invasion of alien species, has triggered an unprecedented disaster;"

"The other type is a more severe natural disaster - a volcanic eruption, which is powerful enough to change the landscape, trigger a chain reaction, and cause immeasurable losses."

"Huo?!" Jin Shile became serious.

"After spending so much time in this fantasy world full of gods and ghosts, I'm a little uncomfortable hearing such scientific words all of a sudden."

Feng Feng glared at Jin Shile and urged, "Boss, please continue to talk."

Mai Xuan cleared his throat and spoke gracefully.

"First of all, the combination of drought and invasive species sounds like nature's revenge scenario."

"The original text of the Bible also says that once droughts and heat waves occur, everything will change. When the climate changes, a series of disasters that affect each other will occur."

"That was the beginning of a chain reaction. One thing led to another, and disasters happened like dominoes, one after another."

"The invasion of alien species is said to have been accompanied by traveling merchants during the time of Ramses II."

"One of them, accidentally or deliberately, introduced a mysterious algae called 'Burgundy Blood' into the Nile."

"Algae are natural disaster-makers. They thrive in drought-induced environments and reproduce at an alarming rate."

"Because the algae itself is red, when it covers the river water, the rivers of Egypt appear to turn blood red."

"Toxic freshwater algae may also have killed fish, which is the first plague - the blood plague."

"Then, due to lack of oxygen and fish deaths, frogs fled their natural habitats in droves. From temples to homes, they were everywhere. This was the second plague - the frog plague."

"But that's not all. The disappearance of frogs has also wiped out their natural enemies, the very ones that are supposed to keep insect populations in check."

"So, lice and flies, these normally insignificant little things, suddenly became rampant, and the third plague of lice and the fourth plague of flies followed one after another."

"The whole of Egypt seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow of terror."

"Some epidemiologists have come out and said that the lice mentioned in the Bible might actually be Culicoides."

"These little guys prey on rotting animal carcasses, such as dead fish and frogs."
