Chapter 505 Fighting for That Sliver of Hope



Sanning, "!!!"

Sang Ning was speechless. "Uncle, if you don't know how to compliment people, then don't compliment them."

The ability to make compliments sound like they're not even compliments is quite impressive.

"You're really weird."

Jiang Xunchu insisted on his opinion, "Look, we've made so many trips here before, and let alone skeletons and martyrs' monuments, it's just sand everywhere."

"And the day after you came back, good heavens, you discovered the battlefield ruins of the Battle of Thor."

At this point, he had a wild idea: "Since you're so uncanny, why don't you wander around for a few more days and see if you can find the other eight major archaeological sites as well?"

What do you think?

Not good.

This thing is really not easy to find.

Today was purely a case of blind luck.

but--

"Eight major archaeological sites?"

"So, there are eight more battlefield sites like the Thor battle site?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xunchu nodded. Seeing that she seemed very interested, and since he had nothing better to do, he started telling her about the history of the Great Cataclysm while staring at the holographic screen.

This period of history was so dark that only when mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and oceans of bones were piled up could the character for "victory" be formed.

Still the kind where only the most desperate remain.

Learning about this period of history is an extremely painful, desperate, and sorrowful experience.

In order to protect the physical and mental health of minors, this history should only be opened to future generations after adults have made up their minds to learn it.

This is also why Sunning only has a general understanding of the history of the Cataclysm period.

If Sang Ning hadn't gone to the desolate planet to survive and train herself, Jiang Xunchu wouldn't have thought of telling her all this today. Instead, he would have waited a few more years until it was almost time for her to go directly to Sand Defense Cave No. 5 to learn from Junming.

Now, we don't need to.

It was the same as what he dictated.

Thus, Jiang Xunchu's history class began.

As the only student, Sang Ning listened very attentively.

Forgetting history is tantamount to betraying the present.

Sang Ning thought it made a lot of sense. No matter which time or space she was from, she had yellow blood flowing in her veins. The history of the Great Cataclysm belonged to all mankind, and also to the Chinese nation.

As a member of the Chinese nation, she is very willing to learn about the history of the Great Cataclysm.

However, she overestimated her ability to cope.

Jiang Xunchu had only spoken a third of the story when she was already struggling to keep up.

The overwhelming mix of emotions—tragic, desperate, and painful—brought tears to her eyes and made her nose sting.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Jiang Xunchu stopped talking.

He asked her cautiously, "Do you want to cry?"

"Mmm~~~"

Sang Ning nodded, "It was too dark. I can't imagine or understand what kind of beliefs our ancestors had to hold onto to survive."

"All I know is that if I were in that era, I probably would have collapsed long ago."

"There are actually quite a few people who break down."

Jiang Xunchu pulled a pale green piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her, saying sadly, "If I were in that era, I would most likely have collapsed too."

"But collapsing won't help; what's coming will still come."

"So, we could only try to fight for that sliver of hope and find a way to make the flowers bloom in the ruins."

At this point, his emotions clearly became high. "Fortunately, our predecessors fought hard and succeeded."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be who we are today."

Looking up at the azure sky above and then at the yellow sand covering the ground, Jiang Xunchu smiled.

"We should be grateful!"

We really should be grateful.

Then, Sang Ning and the others expressed their gratitude by waiting for Qi Wenyuan to bring professionals to excavate the ruins.

Most of them arrived faster than they expected.

One after another, the massive flying vehicles descended from the sky. Qi Wenyuan and Christian, the director of the Human History Research Center, jumped out of the vehicles like rabbits the moment the doors opened after they came to a stop.

The speed was unprecedented. Sang Ning and the others had just raised their hands and were about to say something when the two appeared in front of them.

Then, he rushed to the holographic screen and stared at the shadows on it.

"Uncle..."

"Shut up, don't say anything."

Sanning, "!!!"

Okay, shut up.

This silence lasted for more than ten minutes.

After the staff had assembled all the equipment and the capsule tent was ready to go, Christian said with tears in her eyes, "It really is a battlefield site."

He choked up as he said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I never imagined that I would encounter the site of the Battle of Thor during my tenure."

He kept muttering to himself, and even pulled Qi Wenyuan aside to analyze his mental journey.

Sang Ning watched as his mouth opened and closed, string after string of words appearing alongside tears sliding down his cheeks. She couldn't help but frown and whisper to Jiang Xunchu, "Uncle, if I remember correctly, Dean Christian should be from the White Tower Clan."

The implication was that he wasn't even human, so why was he reacting so strongly to the battlefield ruins of the Battle of Thor?

"He is a new kind of human."

Nowadays, apart from the humans on planet E72 who are purebred humans, the genes of all other intelligent races are mixed.

Therefore, they are collectively referred to as the new human race.

In other words, elite humans.

"Regardless of the race listed on his identity terminal, the fact that he has human genes is undeniable."

"Furthermore, he is also a history expert and scholar with first-class professional skills."

"Battlefield sites like the Battle of Thor are not only treasures in human history, but also invaluable treasures for the new generation."
