Steel steam and flame

"According to many records and information in the floating island cave, after the six red stars appeared, because of the disappearance of the beluga, the second type of creatures of different races broke up an agreement they had participated in. When ancient history recorded this information, The continental plates are connected together to form a continental group. Because of the agreement, although there will inevitably be some small daily frictions between different second-type biological groups, these are all matters between the younger generation. The real people in power, Each of the second-type creatures that can represent a group has not publicly expressed its attitude."

Nonowska knew what Chillman was trying to say. The information obtained during that ocean exploration indeed allowed them to gradually learn some information about ancient history from a state of ignorance. But this information is far from the key points, and is insignificant compared with the knowledge accumulated by the Theocracy itself over thousands of years.

Just because of their different sizes, this information can have different impacts on different objects. For Nonoska and others, an ocean exploration is enough to change the trajectory of their lives, allowing their eyes to see more things in the future.

"Kilman, Nonoska and I understand how you feel. These conjectures may only rot in our stomachs in the end, but I think the purpose of some information is not for people to achieve anything. Those who know this information We don’t necessarily have to solve these mysteries. It is very likely that when we die, as those who know this information, we are just acting as walking messengers. It is our destiny to convey the information to the people who really need to know it. ." Hilary Riley, who holds this idea, is not pessimistic. She often has different views on this matter based on female intuition.

"On board the Venetus, we are destined to not escape. It seems that the ocean exploration has ended long ago, but I often feel that the real exploration has only begun. Chilman, you are right, this information cannot give us What benefits will it bring? On the contrary, some organization of the Theocracy will pay attention to us. But in such a huge world, I always believe that there are various direct and indirect connections between everything, like meshing gears, turning Every turn of the wheel will have an impact on other gears. The addition of some new information will inevitably change the direction of big events later. What we are doing now may not be to dial a certain route."

"You won't lose anything by discussing it for a while. After coming to the empire and receiving most of the information collected by the Kiris family, Nonoska and I have some good guesses. If you watch it as a decryption game, you will definitely be interested. Hillary suggested. She handed Chilman a glass of wine and returned to her original position. "We know that there was a huge world tree in ancient history. If there was a deep blue field in the sky at that time, then the world tree's The altitude has already broken through it.”

"It is a different world in itself. It is so huge that I cannot describe it. The crown, trunk, branches, rhizomes, and even the interior of the World Tree have all become the territories of different creatures because of its vast area. The World Tree is like a piece of towering On the continent, many second-type creatures make this their home. They each occupy a place, and because of their own characteristics, the World Tree forms different strata from the crown to the rhizome, with different environments."

"Many of these races get along well with each other, and of course there is no lack of opposition. However, under several agreements, they still have a consistent external attitude. In addition, the races living on the land covered under the World Tree are the white whales, the guardians of order. Outside the clan, it was the most powerful alliance force at that time. But such an alliance began to fall apart just before the six red stars appeared."

When Nonoska spoke, her eyes were always wandering on the faces of Chilman and Hillary. "In the second major incident, when we dissected the body of the Neptune octopus, we found many strange carvings inside. Skeleton fossils of words. The disintegration of the World Tree Alliance's power is just like the disappearance of the beluga whale group recorded above. When many second-type creatures realize that something is wrong, or detect the hidden conspiracy, the white whales and the World Tree The alliance has lost its threat."

"We can only know a small part of the events in the ancient historical era through some information at the moment. However, regarding the disintegration of the White Whale and World Tree race alliance, I think the main messenger behind it is probably the same creature."

Chilman let out a "hum" at this time, "Is it that thing under the whirlpool of the polar sea? Although I don't know what is underneath, but combined with the number of surgeries beyond the fifth stage on the Later Phase Continent, it is not difficult to know what is hidden. The secrets under the whirlpool of the polar sea are terrifying. Not only the Theocracy, but also the Nature Association Alliance, there have never been any operators who have transcended the fifth stage for thousands of years. Compared with the situation on the Later Phase Continent, there is definitely something wrong inside. The popes of the Holy See will pay a corresponding price!"

"Even if it doesn't involve the surgeon who has surpassed the fifth stage, if it has really survived from ancient historical times to the present, its lifespan alone would be enough to scare all existing creatures. Currently, among the second type of creatures that still exist, the giant The lifespan of whales and dragons will not exceed 20,000 years, and at this time they are still the most powerful among them. From ancient historical times to the present, probably only the gods in ancient historical legends have such long lives."

"But the gods have long since disappeared." Nonoska put down the glass she had finished drinking. "The creatures under the whirlpool of the extreme sea are definitely not gods."

"One thing I care about is that the information recorded in ancient history has always said that many gods disappeared during a certain period of time. But in the records, there is never a single mention of what the gods are. Even if it is just their appearance. It's okay, a little bit of information that we can relate to, but there is none. It's just like in the ancient historical era. In fact, many second-type creatures don't know what gods are and what their significance is. Yes For them, gods are also existences they know from records." Hillary added, "The creature under the whirlpool of the extreme sea, I think maybe it is a product that is truly left over from the era of gods. It is not a god, but it is definitely There is a close connection with the gods. According to ancient historical data obtained from ocean exploration, before the appearance of the six red stars, the beluga was called the most powerful creature in the era by all races. But in the end, it was hunted continuously and disappeared completely. . And the situation of the World Tree Alliance is roughly the same as that of the White Whale.”

"The same planner chose Beluga because at that time, Beluga was the guardian of order and would hinder him from achieving his goals. Later, the goal became the World Tree Alliance, so that when the Red Star came, the entire World Tree burned and eventually collapsed , directly smashing the continental shelf, causing the continental groups to gradually disappear piece by piece under the push of ocean currents. The general process may be like this, but now it seems that the creatures under the polar sea whirlpool have failed. The last time six red stars appeared It failed to seize the opportunity."

Nonoska has been summarizing, "This time six red stars appeared at the same time, and the huge whirlpool on the stone painting still appeared above the World Tree..."
