Chapter 236

And after such a long time, it had not disappeared into the endless darkness.

This meant.

Although the time elapsed in consciousness was incomparably long, reality was but an instant.

Thus, he fell silent.

Inside the entire shuttle, there was only silence.

This silence did not last too long.

Because the master of this deep sea had long noticed the visitors.

"Hum~~"

A melodious sound rose from the seabed, piercing through the seawater and vibrating the brain marrow.

Like a whale song, but different in subtle ways.

Subsequently, that quite ancient voice sounded inside the shuttle.

"The Foundation..."

Like an old man in his twilight years, with white eyebrows and white beard, but little vitality left, ready to breathe his last at any moment.

"It's me, big guy."

Dr. Bright replied casually.

It seemed that there was a deep story between the two of them.

"Dr. Bright?" The ancient voice was a bit surprised. "It's hard to imagine that you are still alive."

"Yeah, I'm still alive—Supreme Divinity, Old Man of the Turbid Sea."

Dr. Bright finally uttered His true title, no longer calling Him by the broad species name "Leviathan."

"Humanoid individuals are often short-lived, yet you are younger than you were tens of thousands of years ago," the Old Man of the Turbid Sea said. "This makes me... somewhat surprised."

"That's because the current me was born because of an accident... Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell you this before you went to sleep."

Dr. Bright pinched the "Immortality" on his chest, his expression calm.

"It's okay, people of age love to forget things... I feel some strange auras, one very powerful, three relatively powerful; are they your colleagues?"

Hearing the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" lead the topic to them, March 7th finally recovered.

A Supreme Divinity was talking to them just like this; this was a bit too much like a dream...

Unbelievable could not accurately describe her mood at this moment.

She could only use a high-level index to label it "outrageous."

"Dr. Bright, what He said about dying..."

"Oh, just take it as Him saying it casually."

Dan Heng frowned: "Why?"

Dr. Bright lowered his head, his gaze moving downward along with the searchlight, carefully observing the attachments on the thick shell, including sponges, worms, and strange echinoderms.

They might have been just created by "SCP-343," or they might have been resurrected by Him.

But they would not know how long the history of the shell beneath them was, even older than the age of the planet Jarilo-VI.

The Old Man of the Turbid Sea remained silent, not disturbing the conversation of these lives.

"The concepts of time for different races are completely different."

Dr. Bright said.

"For races with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, 'soon' might be a few minutes, less than a day, or a few days..."

"For races with a lifespan of thousands of years, this might be years, or even hundreds of years... Heh, an old elf once told me he was going to die soon, and he ended up living for a full hundred years."

March 7th: "Then the 'Leviathan'?"

"Their lifespans are unimaginably long—they can watch a star be born, and then watch that star be destroyed."

"Just like what you saw in His memories."

"So, just assume He can live for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years..."

Dr. Bright smiled slightly, not feeling sad at all for the passing of life.

If he did, then he definitely wouldn't be a doctor of the Foundation.

After all, beneath the railway on which the Foundation train moves, the sleepers used are the blood and flesh of D-class personnel.

Another commotion sounded from the seabed, bringing up a lot of silt.

Like fluttering snowflakes, but in a way, more like dandruff flying around.

The voice of the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" sounded again:

"No... this time it will really be soon."

"The little ones inside me can no longer hold back."

Dr. Bright's expression changed slightly:

"You mean..."

"Yes, my lifespan is really not much left; according to the concept of time you humans are familiar with... a few years left, I suppose."

Dr. Bright's tone was somewhat heavy:

"This is a big deal."

Old Man of the Turbid Sea: "Yes, this is a big deal."

Dr. Bright: "A civilization is about to hatch from your body."

The image on the light screen was still diving deeper into the deep sea.

But it added the content of the conversation between Dr. Bright and the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea."

When they heard the two greeting each other, the audience was all surprised.

These two had known each other tens of thousands of years ago, or even in the more distant ancient times.

But what shocked everyone the most was that the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" personally confirmed his death date.

Who would have thought that the Supreme Divinity, whose lifespan was longer than a star, would also have a day when his lifespan was coming to an end.

Moreover, his tone showed no sadness, and no lingering attachment.

Just as he said—

【Many of our clansmen are proud of the complexity and beauty of their creations.】

He was also one of them.

And at this moment.

The screen of the sky moved forward, passing through thick rock layers, crossing pink tissues, white skeletons, and fine fluff.

The audience was just curious about what the world inside the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" looked like.

The Foundation had a tacit understanding and revealed this secret world to them.

Afterward, what appeared in the picture was an incomparably huge karst cave.

The top of the huge cavity was higher than the general atmosphere.

And on the undulating bottom, various boxes were distributed.

Those were clearly buildings.

They combined with each other to form a city-like layout, with roads crisscrossing, and lights illuminating an area.

These cities combined with each other to form countries.

If you look closely, you can find.

There were differences in architectural styles between different countries and different regions.

Some city-states favored pyramids, some favored square buildings, and others were just thatched huts...

And in the central area, there was already the appearance of an assembly line factory.

How could the audience not be shocked.

They originally thought the civilization in the mouth of the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" was just an anthropomorphic statement like an ant kingdom, bee kingdom, or octopus kingdom.

But they didn't expect.

That was a civilization that was not essentially different from them, just scattered in different stages of development.

Rounding it up.

They could also be considered descendants of space civilization.

It belonged to being on an equal footing with Belobog.
