Chapter 406

~6 min read 1,007 words

Only, the confused, uncomprehending, and numb expressions of the audience also fell into Fu Xuan's eyes.

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

Grand Master Fu gave her own blessing.

……

The governor 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 about to cry; his voice began to tremble, and he even had to hold onto the lectern to remain standing.

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

The audience was even more confused.

Thus.

Anzak decided to say it all.

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

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

"One leads to a huge chamber filled with endless salt water, and the other leads to a velvet chamber filled with strange and well-polished round stones."

He crumpled 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 Teacher; we are currently inside the body of a huge creature."

"Our velvet and white stone are the flesh and bone of this creature; to maintain the purpose of our lives, we rely on the external byproducts ingested by this creature to survive."

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

His thin fingers gripped a white stone slab, which came from the hand of His merciful diviner Artem who grants 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.

When he finished speaking, he realized the square was too quiet.

Anzak slowly looked up, his eyes filled only with the dumbfounded crowd.

A moment later, a roar like ocean 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 humans have long entered the sea of stars."

"Those ancient concepts that have been eliminated are still buried deep in 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 sealed."

In a distant era, there were wise men who used the "Allegory of the Cave" to tell the truth.

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

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

Some specific people carry various tools and walk along the path behind the wall, and the firelight projects the tools that pass through the wall onto the cave wall in front of the prisoners.

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

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

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

Finally, he returns to the cave and tries to persuade his companions to also make them walk out of the cave.

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

Welt Yang silently watched the ongoing atrocity.

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

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

"Crack——"

……

This riot did not last long, because the "culprit" had already been executed.

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

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

But this was not enough; a pyre was piled up under their feet, flames burning their swollen bodies.

And behind them, a white cloth was pulled.

On it was written:

【Garbage that blasphemes the gods】

……

And outside the cave they did not know about.

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 them another planet?"

His children had too much of a temper.

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

Only……

There was another civilization on this planet.

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

An ancient civilization that legally possessed the entire planet.

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

They would claim to be righteous, but in reality, they would be true colonizers, unwelcome ones.

But He was too old, and could no longer fly.

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

Dr. Bright nodded: "I will contact the O5 Council right away." ===== CHAPTER 408 =====
