Chapter 233: God‑men Shocked by Human History

The Federal Supreme Council quickly passed this 'cultural exchange' agreement.

A complete history of human civilization, carefully sorted by the Intelligence Department, was transmitted to the Star Sea Divine Church's database.

Ninety‑nine percent of this history's content is true.

From the first upright walk of African apes, to the formation and conquest of tribes.

From the brutal oppression of slave society, to the rise and fall of feudal dynasties.

From the rolling smoke of the Industrial Revolution, to the blood‑soaked rivers of the two World Wars.

From the nuclear deterrence of the Cold War era, to the initial unification of the Human Federal.

Then came the brutal war with the Mo Yun Empire.

The whole history is filled with bloodshed, violence, internal strife, and suffering.

The Federal Intelligence Department merely trimmed some overly legendary colors of key figures, while also adding some fabricated, ambiguous records about ancient gods and extraterrestrial relics.

Making the whole history look like the rise of a barbaric civilization full of chance and dumb luck.

When this data was transmitted to the Star Sea Divine Church,

Ka En Ti immediately organized within the church a team of the top hundreds of 'Holy Word Scholars' and 'History Analysts',

to conduct round‑the‑clock deep analysis of this data.

They tried to find, from this vast sea of history, the answer they wanted.

The mother star of the Star Sea Divine Church Civilization, the Holy Light Dome.

Here is the Star Sea Divine Church's Supreme Research Institute.

Inside the huge circular hall, hundreds of Holy Word Scholars sat upright and solemn.

Before them were countless light screens flowing with data.

What these light screens displayed was precisely the history of human civilization.

"Report! Preliminary analysis of this civilization's ancient history has been completed."

A Holy Word Scholar stood up and reported to the Holy Word Master presiding over this analysis work.

"How is the conclusion?"

The Holy Word Master's voice was calm as an ancient well.

"The conclusion is… unbelievable."

That scholar's face was filled with confusion and disdain.

"This civilization's early history is filled with mutual slaughter. They could launch a bloody war lasting decades over a stone, a piece of land, a woman, or even a verbal spat."

"Their social structure long remained in a state of extreme chaos, oppression, and being oppressed. Nobles, slaves, emperors, commoners… the hierarchy was strict, contradictions sharp."

"Their faith is even more chaotic. They worship the sun, the moon, animals, ancestors, and even imaginary gods of their own making, full of the seven emotions and six desires."

"According to our Civilization Purity Model assessment, such a civilization, in its ignorant age, already brimming with so many flaws,"

"its developmental ceiling can reach at most a First‑level High‑stage Civilization, after which it will self‑destruct due to endless internal drain."

"But they have made it to today."

The scholar's report plunged the entire hall into silence.

The Holy Word Master's brow also furrowed slightly.

He looked at the light screen, at the bloody text and picture records of ancient wars.

The severed heads, the corpses built into skull mounds, the buried alive surrenderers…

All this made him feel physically uncomfortable.

"Continue the analysis."

The Holy Word Master suppressed his displeasure and coldly said, "I want to see every detail of their history."

The analysis work continued.

When human history entered the modern era.

Industrial Revolution, colonial expansion, World Wars……

Even more cruel, more bloody, on a larger scale, this mutual slaughter unfolded before these Holy Word Scholars.

"They… they actually launched a war that swept the entire mother star just to seize resources and markets?"

"Hundreds of millions of people died, in just a decade or two, from weapons they themselves made?"

"My god, this is no longer barbarism—it's… madness!"

"What's more terrifying is that, after suffering such a painful lesson, they actually launched a second World War just twenty years later!"

"Moreover, they even produced an ultimate weapon capable of self‑destruction—the nuclear bomb!"

Exclamations rose and fell within the hall.

These Divine Church elites, who all their lives have basked in the light of 'Universal Truth', seeking harmony and tranquility, could not comprehend.

How can a civilization be so cruel to its own kind?

How can they repeatedly teeter on the brink of self‑destruction?

"This civilization… is toxic."

A young scholar, face ashen, stood up and said, "Their history is like a dark epic full of curses; I feel my spirit has been polluted."

"Silence!"

The Holy Word Master slammed the table, a powerful mental pressure instantly silencing the entire hall.

His face was just as grim.

This historical data was completely unlike what he had imagined.

He had thought he could find therein the inevitable logic behind the Human Federal's strength.

But what he saw was only chaos, bloodshed, and madness.

Could it be… that those records of ancient gods are what caused this?

Holy Word Master fell into deep thought.

Those fabricated by the Intelligence Department, concerning myths such as Pangu splitting heaven, Nüwa creating humans, and Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs,

and the unofficial histories about the pyramids, Maya civilization, and ambiguous alien contact, indeed caught their attention.

"Is it possible that this civilization actually received guidance from a higher-level civilization in ancient times?"

"But that higher-level civilization seems to have quickly abandoned them, letting them grow barbarically."

"And they, in this abandoned state, relying on that little bit of divine inspiration and endless mutual slaughter, have aberrantly developed to today?"

Holy Word Master felt this explanation seemed currently the most reasonable.

But this explanation still cannot answer the core problem.

Where did that god-like being who can use the two-dimensional foil come from again?

Could it be that the higher-level civilization that abandoned them has returned?

Just when everyone was puzzled and the analysis work reached a stalemate.

An intern who had long been responsible for analyzing modern human history of Yanhuang Guo raised his hand at this moment.

"That… Holy Word Master, I have a discovery here."

Everyone's gaze focused on him.

"Speak."

Holy Word Master's brows furrowed, obviously somewhat impatient.

"When I was analyzing the modern history of the state called Yanhuang Guo, I discovered a very strange person."

The intern's expression was somewhat doubtful.

"This person had no divine power, no superpowers. He came from a remote village; his whole life was spent in struggle, and although conditions were harsh, he never gave up."

"He wrote some… very strange articles in the most colloquial, simplest language."

"He told the most oppressed peasants and workers: You are not oxen or horses; you are the masters of this world."

"He told his soldiers: Although our weapons are backward, we have the broadest popular support; we can trade space for time, using guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, to wear down powerful enemies."

"He established an unprecedentedly strict organization. Every member must engage in self-criticism and serve the people."
