Chapter 238

However, the audience's confused, puzzled, and numb expressions also fell into Fu Bai Xuan's eyes.

"I hope you can survive, diviner who has never seen the sea of stars."

Fu Tai Bu gave her blessing.

The archon walked back to the center, smiling and turning slightly toward the onlookers.

"Diviner Anzak, you have to explain to us what this means."

He winked at the scholar, and some people in the crowd laughed softly.

Anzak was almost crying, his voice began to tremble, and he had to hold onto the podium to stand.

"Um... well, the world we are in is not... a world."

The audience was even more confused.

So.

Anzak decided to say it all.

And the only way to do that was to keep saying it.

"We found two hidden giant caves, each hidden by a large amount of velvet and white stone."

"One leads to a huge chamber full of endless salt water, and the other leads to a velvet chamber full of strange and polished round stones."

He rubbed the paper in his hand and continued, his eyes fixed on his feet, not daring to look at the crowd.

"This is the personal opinion of the instructor, we are in the body of a huge creature."

"Our velvet and white stone are the flesh and bone of this creature, and in order to maintain the purpose of our lives, we rely on the by-products ingested by this creature to survive."

"We believe this is a signal that we are somehow connected to this creature, and the meaning of this transcends the fact that we live in it. Um..."

His thin fingers gripped a white stone slab, which came from the hand of the merciful diviner Artem who gave grace, as if arguing for his words.

"Because that creation is of flesh and blood, not divinity. Therefore it is not Marzed, and Marzed never created us. We were born this way."

In the end, his voice became incomparably impassioned and high-pitched, as if he had become the incarnation of truth, declaring the truth without reservation.

After he finished speaking, he realized that the square was too quiet.

Anzak slowly raised his head, his eyes filled only with the dumbfounded crowd.

A moment later, a roar like sea waves sounded.

On the "Astral Express," Himeko looked at the angry crowd and gave only a sigh:

"Sigh..."

Welt Yang shook his head:

"The change of concepts cannot be completed overnight."

"Even if humanity has long entered the sea of stars."

"The old concepts that have been eliminated are still buried in the depths of our consciousness, waiting to be resurrected at any time."

"Not to mention the prisoners who were already in the cave."

"When that diviner tore open the curtain of the world in this way, his fate was basically doomed."

In the distant era, there were wise men who told the truth with the "Allegory of the Cave."

Imagine a group of prisoners in a cave—they have stayed there since childhood, bound by chains, unable to turn their heads, and can only look at the shadows on the cave wall in front of them.

Behind and above them is a pile of fire, and a small path runs through the cave; a low wall is built along the path, like a screen for a puppet show.

Some specific people carry various utensils past the wall, and the firelight projects the utensils that pass through the wall onto the cave wall in front of the prisoners.

The prisoners naturally think that shadows are the only real things.

If one of the prisoners happens to be released, turns his head and sees the firelight and objects, he will feel dizzy at first, but he will slowly adapt.

He will see that there is a road to walk, and gradually walk out of the cave into the real world.

Eventually, he returns to the cave and tries to persuade his companions to walk out of the cave as well.

But his companions think he is talking nonsense, will not believe him at all, and may even kill him.

Welt Yang watched the ongoing atrocity in silence.

The angry crowd rushed onto the stage, tore off the ties, took off the obstructive formal wear, and swung their fists, smashing them into the diviner's face.

The glasses fell onto the wooden podium, and the lenses were stepped on under leather boots, turning into fragments.

"Crack—"

This riot didn't last long, because the "culprit" had already been executed.

The diviner and the archon were hung high, with ropes tied around their necks.

Their corpses were full of scars, and their snow-white faces were left with only wounds and purple-blue patches.

But this was not enough, a pile of firewood was piled up under their feet, and the fire burned their swollen bodies.

And behind them, a white cloth was pulled.

It read:

【Trash that blasphemes the gods】

And outside the cave they didn't know.

The "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" and Dr. Bright both knew about this atrocity.

After a brief silence.

The "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" said: "Perhaps, I should find another planet for them?"

His children had too much temper.

When he died, they would be forced to walk out of the cave and enter the real world.

It's just that...

There was another civilization on this planet.

A civilization that, although declining, had the glory of the past.

An ancient civilization that legally occupied the entire planet.

When his children walked out and expanded here, they would inevitably have friction with the other side, and even break out in quite tragic wars.

They would claim to be righteous, but in fact, they were real colonists, unwelcome ones.

But he was too old and couldn't fly anymore.

There was no way to pick a suitable planet in the universe anymore.

Dr. Bright nodded: "I'll contact the O5 Council."

Dr. Bright left in a hurry, and not long after, he returned in a hurry.

Concerning the Supreme Divinity and related to the O5 Council, he had to be full of energy.

After everything was finished, Dr. Bright slowly sat back in his seat and sighed:

"I have reported your situation, and the O5 Council will probably take action soon."

The voice of the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" paused:

"The reaction speed of your Foundation is really fast."

The voice of this Supreme Divinity was somewhat resentful:

"The little ones inside me always pull back and forth over all kinds of boring things... Although it's interesting to listen to them argue, I will feel annoyed over time."

Dr. Bright was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this Supreme Divinity to have such human-like confusion.

"As far as I know... the Foundation had such troubles in a very distant era, maybe dozens of restarts ago, or thousands of restarts ago, uh, too lazy to count."

As he spoke, Dr. Bright laughed, obviously remembering something fun.

Before the "Old Man of the Turbid Sea" could ask, he told a Foundation joke.

"The Foundation's management was very chaotic at that time, and even many O5 councilors didn't know how many people they had hired... The funniest thing is, they thought the Administrator was the only person there who hadn't come into contact with anomalies."

"That is really... Administrator, how is He doing now?"

Dr. Bright silently glanced at Bai Bai Xuan, only to see the latter taking pictures of a glowing jellyfish with March 7th and Stelle.

Wait, why are there sponges and starfish holding fishing nets outside?

Dr. Bright shook his head.

I must have woken up too violently today.
