...
There was a long silence.
"Did I really say that?"
Lin Hai was a little unsure.
"Just because of this sentence, you are willing to make such a great sacrifice?"
Lin Hai was also a little bit unbelieving.
"Mr. Lin, you probably have forgotten what we told you when you first came here. But even now, you should have heard some of the legends of this world, right?"
Xin Yueping lowered his head, and he actually looked uncomfortable. Anyone who faced such a large-scale sacrifice without getting the expected results would feel uncomfortable.
"You mean, about the origin of this world? And those ancient legends? Aren't those myths?"
Lin Hai asked in surprise.
After he first heard about the myths and legends of this world, he didn't take them seriously at all.
Nonsense, in a world that can't even record history for more than a thousand years, how can it possibly record the origin of the world?
So those myths must be myths. If not, they will definitely be banned.
"Yes, you regard them as myths, but if I tell you that they are true, what would you think?"
"How could it be true? You can't even record history for more than a thousand years! Besides, the gods chose a fertile piece of land during the disaster, razed the disaster to the ground, and then sowed seeds and carefully tended them. The seeds blossomed and bore fruit, and the fruits are the people of today.
Come, listen to this, can this be called historical fact?"
Xin Yueping raised his voice slightly and said, "You know, we didn't know this was a historical fact before, but when you first came here, you told us, so it is."
Xin Yueping stood up and looked upwards, as if recalling something:
"Legend has it that when you first came here, you were also shocked after hearing our myths and legends. You told us that we shouldn't remember such things because they fall within the scope of information disturbance.
You said
The so-called gods should refer to the tyrannical force that caused us to be stranded in this cramped world. You think it might be the empire's doing, but you don't remember it. And if it was really the empire's doing, you don't know why the empire asked you to save us.
The disaster that leveled the area represents the initial transformation of the environment.
The seeds you sow are more likely to be what you call a life-support system.
When the environmental transformation was complete and the energy for the life-support system was exhausted, our first generation of ancestors emerged from there."
Xin Yueping spoke faster and faster, and his tone became higher and higher. It seemed that this was the first time he met someone who could talk to him about this topic, and he could no longer control his desire to confide.
Lin Hai was shocked and walked to the door and shouted, "Everyone, retreat ten feet away. No one is allowed to approach without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
After hearing Wang Zuo and Ding Lin's responses, Lin Hai finally felt relieved and continued to listen to Yue Ping's cry:
“Babies always grow into teenagers.
Students who have graduated will always leave their hometown.
Children who have been locked in their room all the time will be curious about how big the world outside is!
And we are forever huddled in this cramped world,
We should also know where we come from and where we are going!
Even if this world is the cradle chosen by the gods for us, it is time for us to step out!
Mr. Lin, this is the reason."
Although Lin Hai was shocked by Xin Yueping's emotions, he could still feel the power and expectations conveyed in Xin Yueping's words, but Lin Hai still didn't understand some things.
"Then why was this information passed down? Doesn't this make sense with what you said before?"
"I knew you had this question."
Faith and Peace:
“This is also the question you asked when you first came here.
We don't know the reason either.
After a long period of research, you can only come to one conclusion, that is, any civilization, any living thing, has an instinct, and this instinct is to remember its origin and remember its mother.
This is not history, nor is it the inheritance of books and knowledge.
This is something engraved deep within our hearts and souls. We don't know why it has been preserved. Perhaps it's the wish our ancestors left us. Even if countless millennia have passed, even if our history has been sealed, as long as we are willing, we can continue to pass on this myth and legend."
To be honest, this continent is too similar to his former world, especially his homeland, so he asked very seriously:
“If you really want to grow, why don’t you expand outward?
For a civilization, especially one that's primarily armed with cold weapons, upward development is incredibly difficult, almost impossible. While aspiring to soar is fine, it's still possible to initially develop horizontally. Take Cambodia, for example. Your south, and the ocean, are all directions for expansion."
Xin Yueping smiled and said, "It really is you. Except for the first two times when you knew the reasons yourself and didn't need us to explain, you have asked this question every time since then."
"So what is the answer?" Lin Hai asked doubtfully.
"Could it be that civilizations elsewhere are too powerful? Besides, I've never seen any records of other places, whether on land or overseas. There's no mention of people from there coming here, no mention of goods from there, and not even any written records of them."
"Of course you can't see it, because it doesn't exist there."
Xin Yueping smiled wryly and continued, "To the north and west of the continent lies a wasteland that rises ever higher, reaching a series of mountains at its end. Don't even think about climbing over them. We've tried, but the mountain range has no top and forms an arc that tightly wraps around the entire north and west sides of the continent, leaving no gaps."
