Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 93

[Chapter 93 Endless Guess]

Morris sighed.

“When those of us who dig in history try our best to come to the high wall of the Great Annihilation, and spend our entire lives searching for cultural relics, comparing classics, and trying to get a glimpse of the scenery on the other side of the high wall, what are we facing? It’s such a bizarre thing.”

The old man’s face was full of exhaustion and frustration, as if he was a traveler who had traveled for most of his life, and he still couldn’t see the end at the end of the journey, so he had to accept the reality.

“The history before the Great Annihilation is fragmented and contradictory. The records of different city-states are like bizarre stories, or dreams that are not connected to each other… There is no conclusive evidence to prove which of the records is correct, or there is a set of records. Theory can bring these contradictory things together.”

Duncan didn’t speak for a while, because his thoughts were already ups and downs like ocean waves, and he seemed to be experiencing a series of unbelievable “fragments of unofficial history” described by Morris. The baptism of the information storm.

As a “foreigner” who has experienced the information age and has a good ability to associate, he can imagine or guess something from the other party’s description-the dome

covering the entire continent, which may be some kind of artificial ecological device, and the sun. A homogeneous energy system that relies on substances in seawater as fuel may be fusion technology.

The giant ship sailing in the void is powered by capturing dust and gas clouds in space. This may be one or several colony starships.

As for the so-called demon god’s dream… the seawater that came from the dream to reality… he couldn’t imagine what it was for a while, but it sounded like a fantasy concept, which was different from the technological atmosphere in the previous two periods of history. Something very different.

He can find explanations or conjectures for many things, but these things can’t be pieced together anyway.

As Morris said, they are more like dreams that are not connected to each other, outlining a completely different “prehistoric history”.

Contradictory and broken, it cannot be used to reproduce the appearance of the world before the Great Annihilation.

“Perhaps what you said is correct. In the key event of the Great Annihilation, there is a ‘horizon limit’,” Morris’ voice came from across the counter, interrupting Duncan’s thoughts. The old man held his forehead and spoke in a low voice. “We can’t observe the ‘event’ on the other side of the event horizon, so the history before the annihilation is a concept that can never be traced to us.” Looking at Morris full of emotion,

Duncan’s thoughts still did not stop, and gradually Instead, he came up with a rather bold idea: “Then… what if these records are all true?”

Morris raised his eyes and looked at Duncan in surprise: “Oh?”

“What if these records are all true?” Really, is the history recorded by each city-state or each race really what they think the ‘world before the Great Annihilation’ really looked like?” Duncan rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, “Maybe ten thousand of us The ancestors of years ago really came from completely different “hometowns” and had completely different civilizations? The Great Annihilation trapped these exiles from different worlds in this sea, and the descendants of the exiles are inheriting the civilization. Before completely cutting off, I barely recorded what I knew, and after 10,000 years, it became a “contradictory history” that troubled scholars…” His

thoughts became active, and he paused and continued: “The Great Annihilation Perhaps the essence of this is not the end of the world, but a ‘big teleportation’?”

Morris looked at Duncan in surprise, and suddenly said: “…the conjecture of the Brock Bendis school? The theory of world drifting? This is a relatively unpopular one. Genre, do you have such a deep research on ancient history?”

He was admiring, but Duncan was a little puzzled: Listen to this, so someone has thought of this possibility long ago? !

He blinked his eyes, but he didn’t let his surprise show, he just pretended to follow the topic: “It’s all scattered knowledge, but I like this conjecture very much.” “I also like this conjecture very

much —Although it is very unpopular,” Morris shook his head, “but like all conjectures, we have no evidence, so it can only be a conjecture.

“The Clark school once assumed that the subspace’s interference with the real world distorted all historical records. The Villentium school believed that the world before the annihilation was countless isolated lattices. The people of the city-state of Bologna even believed that the world before the annihilation It doesn’t exist at all, all the records about prehistoric history are illusions created by the shadows in the subspace…

“To put it bluntly, even some heretical cults have their own understanding of world history and worship the end of the subspace. Yan missionaries firmly believe that the end of the world has actually begun, and is chasing and devouring our civilization along the long river of history. The contradictory historical records of various city-states are the result of the real history being gradually torn apart by the subspace, and the Great Annihilation is a barrier The barrier before the doomsday, the history after the annihilation is gradually torn apart by pollution, that is the day when the whole world falls into the subspace…” Duncan became more astonished as he listened, and shook his head subconsciously after a long time: “I don’t

know There are still so many weird hypotheses…”

“Ordinary people don’t dabble in this kind of field. Studying history is a dangerous thing in the sense of mysticism,” Morris said, “but there is a reason that is obvious True: If there are thousands of scholars who have groped for hundreds or even millennia in a field with nowhere to go, they must have formulated all the hypotheses they could. “

Duncan gradually understood the old man’s meaning.

For these people who have spent their whole lives in the pile of ancient books and cultural relics, it is very simple to put forward a hypothesis that can explain the current situation. As scholars, what they lack is never Imagination and vision.

What they lack is evidence, evidence that can prove even any hypothesis.

“…Is there no evidence left? “Duncan asked, “Is there any ‘material evidence’ from the history before the Great Annihilation that can prove that some ‘unofficial history’ is true? “

“It has not been discovered so far,” Morris said slowly, “10,000 years, plus periods of dark ages in between, countless city-states rose and fell in the boundless sea, it is too difficult to leave anything from the ancient times… What can be handed down are either manuscripts from unreliable sources, or stories passed down by word of mouth, and these things themselves may have changed in the process of being handed down.” Duncan did not speak for a while

.

In the depths of his spirit, on the distant Lost Homelander, the waves are rolling gently, and the boundless sea, as always, covers the whole world.

It also covers all possible truths.

He couldn’t help sighing: “Researching ancient history is really a difficult thing.” “

Yes, what we have to face is not only the fragmented ‘years’, but also the status quo of emptiness,” Morris sighed , “On a limited land like a city-state, if something can be dug out, it has been dug out long ago. If it can’t be dug out, it means that things that can prove our history are hidden in places that ordinary people can’t touch.” “For example, the bottom of the sea?

” Duncan said suddenly.

“The bottom of the sea? Ha, what a horrifying and bold statement,” Morris laughed. “But this is really the only thought left by many historians who have come to the end of their lives… There are evidences on the bottom of the sea, and there are piles of them. There are cultural relics, cities with ancient civilizations, and ruins that can explain everything, but what is the use? We can only touch the shadows when we dive down, and mortals cannot touch the deepest part of this world.”

Speaking He paused for a moment, then said again: “However, this has indeed led to another conjecture… Although it has not yet become a school, there are many people who speculate that the lost ‘old world’ in history is actually in the sea of the boundless sea. Under the plane, it is even precisely positioned at a certain ‘depth’ between the deep sea and the spirit world—the world before the Great Annihilation sleeps at that depth.” “Why do you say that?” Duncan was a little curious, but it was a serious

matter Unfounded assumptions intrigued him.

Morris thought for a while and explained: “Because many broken ancient histories mentioned that the world before the Great Annihilation had a ‘starry sky’ covering the four fields, and as we all know, the ‘starry sky’ is at the interface between the deep sea and the spirit world Come on.”

Duncan almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva: “Ahem…ah?”

“Are you okay?” Morris was taken aback by Duncan’s reaction, “It shouldn’t be incredible…” “

I It’s all right, but I was so fascinated by the listening that I choked on it.” Duncan quickly waved his hand, “The starry sky is between the deep sea and the spirit world, of course I know, of course I know…” (End of this chapter
