I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 908: Outer Ring of Knowledge
The handsome scholar walked calmly towards the black-robed village chief who was struggling in pain and had crippled limbs:

"right now,
Tell me,
What is the situation here? I don’t think you are an isolated drifter who is completely ignorant of the outside world.”

However, facing Su Wen's questioning,

The old village chief only managed to utter a few vicious curses:
“You will regret this!
If you interfere with the sacred sacrifice, the Guardian God will make you pay the price!"

He pointed behind him with a shaking hand.

In an instant, accompanied by a heavy rumbling sound, a huge glass barrier that was slowly opened behind the stone wall suddenly lit up.

But beyond the barrier,
A certain existence that was originally regarded as a guardian god was now like a frightened bird, dragging a huge black shadow and fleeing to the distant abyss without hesitation.

This scene made the old village chief's face full of disbelief, and he even looked stunned.

This violent and cruel guy never expected that the guardian god who was once regarded as inviolable would choose to escape.

Su Wen watched the figure disappearing quickly, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips:

"Descendants of the Abyss?

That’s really interesting.”

But he did not give up, but instantly mobilized the power that had been accumulated in his body for a long time.

moment,

The handsome scholar raised the sword with a very graceful movement and pointed the tip of the sword at the extremely distant tide.

[Mythic Trait—Rhine—Watcher's Sword—Tearing Storm!]

Suddenly, the entire space was torn apart by the power of the storm, leaving a huge hole.

Although this hole only existed for a moment, endless pure black sea water fell from the sky and filled it.

But the chain reaction it brings is extremely terrifying:

The distant abyss seemed to be completely distorted by this force, with undercurrents surging and huge waves surging, as if even the abyss itself was shaking.

at the same time,

Su Wen also caught a distorted wail from a distance. Although the offspring of the abyss was injured, it was not completely destroyed.

However, the wailing sound that was contaminated by the abyss was like an invisible sharp blade, causing the unprotected old village chief to bleed from all his seven orifices in an instant.

If he had not deployed the protective barrier in time, Joyce and others would probably not be able to withstand the impact.

For this result,
Su Wen finally shrugged helplessly:

"What a rare coward, running so fast, no wonder he was able to pretend to be the guardian for so long."

But he did not turn his attention back to the village elder. After all, the other party had fainted due to the severe pain.

Su Wen did not linger for too long. His gaze penetrated the dark cave and fell on the huge altar.

The dim light beside the altar flickered, reflecting the boundless sea outside the cave and the narrow passage leading to the outside world.

Outside the passage is the hometown where little Beth once lived, an isolated island surrounded by endless black tides.

A group of people walked outside.

There is no beacon of the night watchman, no trace of the sentinel of the great library,
It seems like a piece of debris forgotten in the Lost Sea, isolated from the outside world, and there is not even a clear route to reach it directly.

“Pure dark route.

really,

Under the vast cosmic background superstrings,

The knowledge that humans possess and the corners that civilization touches are always just a drop in the ocean. "

Su Wen couldn't help but sigh,

But the next second, Miss Joyce came over, blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "Mr. Rhine, are you thinking of something sad?"

"No,
I'm just sighing, how can I be sad? "

Su Wen has a very clear understanding of himself.

He is a physicist, but it is precisely because he is a scholar that he feels emotional and has a necessary desire for knowledge when he encounters the unknown:

"Zeno, a philosopher of the Eleatic school in ancient Greece and known as the 'Father of Paradox', once mentioned the theory of the unknown circle of knowledge:

What is inside the ring is what we know, but what is unknown outside the ring will multiply by orders of magnitude along with what humans already know.

in other words,

Human beings may never be able to exhaust everything in this world.

As also mentioned in the Nanhua genealogy.

Zhuang Zhou once said (My life is limited, but my knowledge is limitless. To pursue the limitless with the limited is dangerous.)
So I should be happy.”

"Hmm, I really don't understand it at all."

She had a big, beautiful smile.

of course,

Her cheerful answer also succeeded in making Su Wen laugh.
Compared to the grand narrative.

Sure enough, he still prefers a peaceful and gentle daily life.

So Su Wen just gently rubbed the long hair of the girl beside him, and then looked towards the island:
This is a dark and dilapidated town, as if time has stopped here.

The cobblestone roads on the streets have become bumpy due to years of disrepair, and most of the buildings on both sides are dilapidated.

The windows were broken and the doors were half-open, exuding a musty and desolate smell.

Occasionally, a few dim oil lamps swayed in the wind, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the quiet night.

Because of the patron saint worship ceremony held by the village chief, almost all the cult believers were killed by Su Wen.

Most of the residents of the town who were still able to move were pale, with their eyes revealing fear of the unknown and despair of life.

They either huddled under the dilapidated eaves of their own houses, or gathered in groups of two or three at the edge of the square in the center of the town, talking in low voices, their words full of curiosity and vigilance towards Su Wen and his group.

The children hid far away, staring at these outsiders with curious yet fearful eyes, as if they were visitors from another world.

Su Wen noted:
There was an indescribable feeling of depression in the town, as if something heavy was pressing on everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.

He speculated that this might be related to the so-called "sacrifice ceremony" and the escaped "guardian spirit".

The residents here may have long lived under the shadow of being threatened by the power of the abyss, and their hearts have long been eroded by fear and despair.

But from then on,
Everything will change completely!
Su Wen said in a gentle but firm tone to Qin who was jogging over from a distance:

“You can contact Triss now.

But our goal is not just to open up the passage between Lawrence Ruier and here.

That's too limiting.

What we need is to establish a stable and reliable channel between Planet Kliman 1 and here.

One is to open up an interstellar navigation route in the Sea of Lost for you.

The second is to retrieve the signal from the Nameless One and transform this small island tightly wrapped by the boundless black tide into a solid base for the [war], laying the foundation for each subsequent step of the plan.

perhaps,

I will take you to see the true poetry of sword and fire of the Third Age."
