How Am I Still Alive?

This is a poem describing the city in the clouds.

"The earth is under the clouds, and above the endless white clouds, giants made of white jade are singing and dancing."

"The friendly giant invited mortals and gave him gold and the blessing of a brother."

The psalm is long and the grammar is subtle, but in three thousand words it tells the story of a prosperous giant.

The giant subspecies in the story is friendly and good at art. It holds various dances and performances in its cloud city, and even actively invites mortals, dragons, and beasts to participate, and gives "blessings" and wealth to the final winner. .

Sounds good?

"The cloud chariots of the villains in the sky constantly patrol the world, hunting down the creatures on the earth for their entertainment. They force them to perform cruel angles and performances, and turn the losers into a feast for the spectators."

But in the records of ancient orcs, this is a demon-like race.

There seems to be a clear conflict, who is telling the truth?

"Both sides should be telling the truth."

Lu Ping'an was vaguely aware that only "true information" in this world could withstand the test of history.

From the perspective of giants, they are the elder brothers of all living beings, so they can naturally make choices among their "younger brothers" and eliminate and deal with the weak ones smoothly.

As for the creatures on the ground, hundreds or even thousands of individuals are captured, and only one may be sent back in the end.

Even with gold and so-called blessings, what's the point.

Lu Pingan put down the "book" and sighed.

This is the real history, not a beautiful heroic epic, nor any perfect grand narrative.

The twists and turns filled with contradictions between all parties, racial differences, interest struggles, and all kinds of helplessness and sadness should be the real "history."

"Compared to current puppet shows, these cruel histories are more real and dynamic."

For insiders, this is quite cruel and ruthless. The earlier the era, the more cruel and unkind it was. However, with the progress of history, new civilizations have been built one after another, with morality, law and culture. The cruelty of the past has Gladiator culture was replaced by drama, song and dance, mortals even used machinery and beast taming, and the labor force was further liberated.

“As a result, it was backslidden again by man and God.”

The fairy tales in the upper world, the purgatory and gladiatorial arena in the underground world, and the cruel and real social evolution in the battlefield in the heavenly world. So far, it has turned into a "livestock farm and arsenal" that people don't know how to evaluate.

Is this progress? Lu Ping An cannot be evaluated because the happiness index of mortals may have really increased.

"Fortunately, I don't need to evaluate it. It seems that no matter how I evaluate it, it is wrong."

Lu Ping'an sometimes secretly rejoices. Fortunately, he is not involved in politics and has no interest in that area. Otherwise, sometimes these problems will really remain unsolved.

He has always been just a "folk strongman" who only interferes with the world with his own preferences. He does not need to consider it all and repeatedly think about hair loss like the official.

But from another perspective, knowing that "I don't understand this aspect" is a rare and valuable quality in itself. Too many strong people mess around according to their own preferences, but never think that they have not added anything in the administrative aspect, and in the end they basically end up with chicken feathers all over the place. .This is actually a good thing. It is not bad if it does not end up being ignored by the lower levels, and then ruled by a crazy tyrant, and finally unable to control the calling home star.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping'an shook his head.

The more he knows, the less he will interfere with the social structure at will. Most of the forced interference will only bring tragedy.

It is normal to have what kind of society and what kind of system. In this extraordinary multiverse, different races represent completely different social structures and historical experiences.

"It's interesting."

The Kingdom in the Clouds in the information I read is not just a story.

On the contrary, these records are real gains.

The spells of the giants in the clouds include the rare ability to control clouds, as well as a large number of levitation technologies. In that era, there were neither machines nor alchemical products such as magic engines. How did long-lasting levitation occur in ancient times? , Lu Ping'an is very interested.

Comparing these records is because the giants eventually became history. Those sunk floating cities are also hidden in history. There may not be records of the giants, but the victors of that era recorded the locations of several battles. .

Among the records, there is also an ancient map of this world. As long as enough corresponding records are found, the crash points can be inferred.

Apart from anything else, even the genetic modules of those ancient giants are of great interest to Lu Pingping.

At the same time, these records also mention a large number of secret techniques and spells, including martial arts sublimation rituals similar to the Three Faces of Domination, as well as the unique abilities of each race.

This is the most valuable.

A racial era may be a complete extraordinary system, as well as configured genetic modules and life evolution chains.

This world can cultivate a pantheon of gods. Lu Pingan does not think that those ancient dragons and giants will be weaker than the so-called new gods now.

After all, the information reviewed shows that the decline of those races was partly due to the rise of latecomers, but the main reason was civil war and civil strife in various senses.

"Locations A to C have been determined. They are sinking areas. There is nothing we can do."

"There are three locations where important targets may exist and are within the safe zone, and our people are already on the way."

"Most people who went to other large cemeteries had a smooth journey. The people there did not resist at all. Instead, they cooperated with us in digging graves."

The courtyard began to dispatch personnel to investigate possible locations as much as possible.

The grave keepers had actually guessed about some locations and important purposes long ago, but in their previous situation, it was too difficult to protect their inheritance and lives. If they acted recklessly and attracted the attention of the local lords, they would be courting death.

But for Lu Ping'an now, the profit margin brought by "archaeology" may be zero, but it may also be 10,000%.

A large number of top combat forces were deployed, and locations were verified and confirmed one by one. Most areas were fruitless, and it was good luck to find a few antiques by chance.

However, some remains of ancient creatures have been dug up in some areas, and the courtyard's life system is now studying them as soon as possible.

"The top priority is Long Yan's spells and Heroic Spirit technology. Have you gained anything?"

"No, but there are a lot of unknown items in the warehouse that need further verification."

Even if Lu Ping'an has sent out all the rule-based abilities to analyze extraordinary items, there are too many unknown items that exceed their level limits, so many of the items in the warehouse are still unknown. But this is actually a good thing. In a sense, "cannot be identified" is also equivalent to "this is a very valuable research product."

Lu Ping'an likes such days. If he can earn benefits while being redeemed, it will make him and his team more motivated.

He is waiting patiently, waiting for the moment of harvest.
