Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

Gawain Cecil's shield, ever since he obtained it, seemed to have awakened a special power, allowing him to foresee the future and mobilize troops, making him arguably the most powerful commander of his time.

It was indeed that shield that gave him the power!

But now, is it the being inside the shield that has taken over Gawain Cecil's body?

Also, what does "an ordinary person" mean?

Is it a special code name?

With such abilities, how could someone be an ordinary person!

Chapter 67 Dynasties Never Last Forever

Regardless of the audience's reaction, the sky screen continued to display its effects.

………………

"In the knowledge you shared with me, I saw the truth of the world's destruction in the cycle of reincarnation, and the dark clouds hanging over the realm of the gods. The pressure of the impending apocalypse led me to make the boldest decision of my life..."

"I think that if the power of mere mortals is not enough to save this world, then we need a greater power, a more immortal and wiser being, with a vision that overlooks the earth yet cares about the fate of all living beings on it..."

Gawain Cecil's face was full of apology.

“I found the wisest people to advise me and searched through all the ancient books. I discussed it with you and persuaded you to accept this deal. My elven friends found clues in the ancient books. Under their guidance, I began to transform my body into a suitable ‘container’ in order to bypass the restrictions in the Tower of Babel.”

…………

What are the restrictions within the Tower of Babel?

What the heck?

What is the Tower of Babel?

Do we have this on our continent of Loren?

The commoners looked at each other in bewilderment, the nobles frowned, and the scholars frantically searched through ancient texts.

But no one can find any records about the Tower of Babel.

"So... there's another tower on our continent? One that reaches to the heavens?"

"I've lived for over sixty years and I've never heard of such a thing."

"That's from Gawain's time, right? Seven hundred years ago?"

"But he just said 'bypass the restrictions in the Tower of Babel'—meaning that thing is still there?"

The entire continent is plunged into a new round of confusion.

…………

“I learned from a barbarian tribe that had dealt with sirens that there was another land in the southeast of the continent, with a tower that could reach the end of the sky.”

"I set off that summer and drifted at sea for a very, very long time..."

"But in any case, after a series of twists and turns, I finally completed this bold and almost fanciful plan."

"I witnessed magnificent scenery that no human could have imagined, and I also met you, an incredible ancient soul."

“You live inside a huge machine, and to be honest, I was quite startled at the time.”

Gao Wen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.

"And all of this started when you put a piece or two of that space debris on it."

"Yeah, it started when we installed one or two of those things,"

Gawain Cecil also said with a smile,

"Charlie insisted that it suited my personality best..."

"His aesthetic sense has always been a bit off, but the others aren't that much different."

"Yes, not many of them have received any formal education."

Gawain Cecil sighed, seemingly agreeing with the statement.

But then he shook his head.

"But in hindsight, it's fortunate that we installed one or two of those things back then..."

Gao Wen remained silent for a moment.

He simply gazed silently at the ancient phantom before him.

After a period of silence, he let out a sigh.

"Although the result wasn't bad, I still want to say something... Your idea of ​​hoping for a savior to come to the world back then wasn't very reliable. If it were me, I would prefer to solve problems myself in a down-to-earth manner."

“You traded your soul for me to come down, but I still made it to where I am today step by step. I told you, I am just an ordinary person. I don’t have the ability to save the world with a wave of my hand.”

"You said these things to me before,"

Gawain Cecil shook his head.

"But as I told you, I'm just a martial artist, with a bit of luck that's beyond what others can handle. I can't think of any other way, and I can't see through the changes in the world."

“You told me that social development has its own laws, and that instead of expecting someone to save the world, we should believe in the power of all living beings. But I was terrified by the ‘observation records’ you showed me. All I know is that the process of saving the world must be accelerated…”

“My friend, perhaps you are right. Even without you, even if no miracle happens, as long as earthly civilizations continue to strive generation after generation, and given enough time, one day a civilization will successfully survive.”

"They will be wiser, more united, and luckier than the previous losers. Their future will be even more glorious, and heroes will emerge in great numbers!"

"But my inner voice tells me we can't wait..."

"I don't care how glorious the next civilization can be, I don't care if they have four arms and four legs or two wings on their backs and four eyes on their faces... Their glory is just a hypothesis."

"But we have to survive this season!"

After he finished speaking, the place fell silent.

After a long silence, Gao Wen let out a long sigh.

"We are preparing for the final challenge. Mortals still don't have complete confidence, but this time we are better prepared than in any previous season of civilization."

"This is the best-case scenario we could have imagined."

Gawain Cecil said with a smile.

At the same time, his figure suddenly began to fade and disappear.

At this moment, Gawain Cecil was merely a wisp of consciousness that had been forcibly preserved by the Night Lady for centuries; he wasn't even a fragment of a soul.

Tianmu provided timely supplementary information and gave a brief introduction.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye."

The two of them stood up at the same time.

Gao Wen suddenly spoke.

“Do you know that the ‘Kingdom of Ansu’ that you entrusted to me, Charlie, actually became history several years ago—the kingdom was terminally ill, and I could only personally send it on its final journey.”

…………

Ansu: "?"

Our country is so big, and it's just gone like that?

In an instant, the Ansu royal family's world collapsed, and so did the world of the nobles centered around them.

They were hoping for some memorable moments later on, but now they realize they're out of the running!

I'm so desperate!

In the palace of the capital, Augustine XIII slumped on his throne, the alchemy test tube in his hand shattering into pieces.

"Gone...our kingdom..."

He muttered to himself, staring blankly at the sky. The nobles around him were either weeping bitterly or drawing their swords and roaring angrily, but they couldn't even find a direction to resist.

"No, there's still a chance. That's in the future, it hasn't happened yet, as long as we can..."

What can we do?

His words came to an abrupt end.

He has absolutely no idea what to do right now.

He lacked the charisma of Emperor Typhon, and the vision of Gawain.

What lies ahead, and how should he proceed?

In Ansu's territory, the serfs quietly raised their heads. Some looked at the sky and whispered, "It's better that they're gone... at least we don't have to pay those deadly taxes anymore."

To be honest, what they are most looking forward to right now is the future arriving as soon as possible.

Both the Typhon Empire and the Gawain Lord's forces seem to treat their subordinates very well.

At least it's better than the current situation where we sometimes go hungry and sometimes full.

At this moment, Gawain's conversation sparked reflection among some people in other worlds.

The lone figure on the golden throne remained motionless for a long time.

Although it shouldn't be moved anyway.

Hoping for a savior to descend from heaven...

He once thought he could become humanity's savior, leading them out of darkness and into the light.

Ten thousand years later, He sat on the golden throne, half-dead, watching the empire struggle in the darkness.

And that guy named Gao Wen crawled out of the coffin, and step by step, led the people to reclaim wasteland, build roads and factories, and built hope on a barren land.

"Perhaps... I took the wrong path from the very beginning."

From the moment he first saw the Starry Sky and other worlds, he began to feel confused and wondered if it was a problem with him.

Having lived through so many worlds, it seems I'm the one who's fared the worst!

Teyvat.

Zhongli stood in the alley next to the Hall of Rebirth, gently twirling the glass ball he had made with his fingertips, his eyes rippled with emotion.

Gawain's words, "I will not rely on a savior, but on my own hard work and progress," greatly pleased the emperor.
