It's really an old-fashioned way of unfolding—Hao Ren can't help but think so.The ancient civilization of the last era, which was dragged into the gap between time and space due to an unknown natural disaster (the Great Bang of God), destroyed the surface world, and the survivors relied on powerful technology to build a large-scale shelter complex inside the planet and survive in it.As time passed, the catastrophe of the surface world gradually subsided, but the survivors of the underground shelter were cut off from civilization due to years of isolation and environmental changes, and became monsters or simply perished, while the shelter facilities they left behind became dangerous "big tunnels", filled with deadly poisonous gases and endless monsters, and were regarded as flood beasts by the new civilization of the surface world......
Hao Ren could even venture to guess that if these assumptions are true, then the so-called poison gas in the Great Tunnel should actually be the normal atmospheric composition of this planet 10,000 years ago - it was the foundation of the previous generation of civilizations, but it is the disaster of the current season's ecosystem.But can 10,000 years really make such a huge change?
Or is there something else that has happened here after the planet has been dragged into the dark realm that has catalyzed the process of ecological evolution?
I'm afraid these problems can only be understood after entering the big tunnel.I thought that it was just an insignificant episode to become a mercenary and sign a guard contract with a reckless female magician, but I didn't expect that this matter would lead to such important information, Hao Ren had to sigh his good luck: if it weren't for Leah's sudden appearance and mention of the big tunnel, I really don't know how long it would take me to lead everyone around this world to get in touch with the secrets of the world underneath: after all, For most normal people in this world, the Great Tunnel is an object to be kept away from, and a bold "scholar" like Leah is a rare species.Hao Ren made a decision, and closed the geography in front of him again: "Everyone recharge your energy today, get ready, and try to find the entrance to the underground after following Leah to the vicinity of the big pit tomorrow......"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden communication from Nolan: "Boss!
You'd better come out and check this out!
”"What's the situation?"
He didn't expect Nolan, who was on a high-altitude vigilance mission, to suddenly send a message, and thought it was an accident, "Enemy?
”Nolan's tone was hurried with shock: "No!
It's heavenly!
There's something in the sky!
”Several people immediately glanced at each other, and then they all ran to the wide floor-to-ceiling window of the library, pushed open the window and looked up at the dark night sky outside.Even the cat girl was startled by what she saw, and her eyes widened: "......
Meow meow meow?
”I saw that in the dark night sky, a fragmented world was slowly crossing the sky!
It was a number of huge shadows, larger than any moon or star that Hao Ren knew could show in the sky, and ordinary people could tell with the naked eye that they were broken continents floating in space without the help of any optical equipment.The three largest continental fragments are distributed in a zigzag shape, on which you can clearly see the uplifted mountains and deep rifts, and even some faint traces of man-made objects.
And between these three empty continents, there are countless large and small black spots: they are floating islands floating around the continent.There is no doubt that all this once belonged to a whole planet.The surface of the Shattered Continent is not completely dim, and some dark red or dark yellow lines can still be seen in their depths, and those faint glows seem to be magma that has not yet fully cooled - of course, it is possible that something else is still shining.While everyone was stunned, these upside-down lands were still moving in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at this moment they had gradually reached the middle of the night sky, and their huge scale covered almost one-third of the sky, although the whole process was silent, but with an amazing sense of oppression and solemnity, Hao Ren even felt that he had auditory hallucinations in his mind, and he heard a dull sound like a giant tree rolling on the ground: boom, boom......
These auditory hallucinations were interrupted by a sudden crisp voice coming from the side: "Ah, what are you doing lying in front of the window?"
”Hao Ren came back to his senses suddenly, and was surprised to see that Leah was standing not far from him: she was standing outside the window, the air under her feet, and some small shimmering runes swam around her, blocking the cold air from Changfeng Ridge.The young magician seemed to have come out to get some fresh air after studying."
Aha, I'm just out for a walk, don't be like that," noticing the surprised look on Hao Ren's and his party's faces, Leah waved her hand with a big grin, "I know it's a little scary to stand directly outside the window and greet people, but you well-informed people shouldn't be scared, right?"
”"Uh......
Oh, that's nothing," Vivien quickly came back to her senses, a gentle smile, "we're just looking at the night, and ......
Heavenly scenery. ”"Oh?
Oh, so you're looking at the Shattered Heaven," Leah followed Vivien's line of sight, and when she turned her head with a knowing smile on her face, she didn't seem to make a fuss about Hao Ren and his party looking at the sky collectively in the middle of the night, "Indeed, no matter when you see it, no matter how many times you see it, it's a very charming scenery, isn't it?"
It's just that I didn't expect you adventurers who travel from south to north to have this kind of Yaxing.If you like to read books, and you look up to the broken kingdom of heaven, I want to think that you are actually a group of scholars who have gone out to study. ”"We come from a very remote place, and there are not many learned people there, but we are different among them, and it is precisely because of our curiosity about the outside world that we have traveled all the way here," Hao Ren carefully weaved the background of his group and tried to continue the topic, "If this scholar has time, how about telling us about the Broken Heaven?"
”"Aha, I have a lot of time, but the topic you asked for is too broad, let me talk about it," being called "Miss Scholar", Leah's mood was obviously very good, although she said that it was troublesome, but she still opened the conversation, "Some people say that it was once a country inhabited by gods, and some people say that it is a planet that is twin with our world, but it was destroyed by war, and some even say that it is a' The Old World' was the place where the ancestors once lived, and then when disaster struck and the world was destroyed, the ancestors used some ancient magic that has been lost to create a new world on the other side of the old world, which made Rahrien today, and transferred all of us here—and the fragmented old world floated forever in the sky of Rahrien.Which statement do you think is more reliable?
”Of course, Hao Ren supported the first, but he didn't know how Leah would react, so he didn't say it directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
”"Throw the question back?
Tsk," Leah smacked her lips, not dissatisfied, "I'm a scholar, and although I study myths and legends, I look at them first and foremost as a scholar, not as a believer—so I'm more willing to believe the third version."
It is the old Raherion, the place where our ancestors once lived, and whenever we look up at the sky, we are looking in the direction of our homeland......
What a feeling. ”Hao Ren was a little speechless: "......
Is it just because of the feeling?
”"It's because of the power of man," Leah, who has always been reckless, showed an unusually emotional look at this time, "We are mortals, and our ancestors are also mortals, but when the old world is facing destruction, they have the ability to create a new Rachrien in the void and save so many races from that torn land, what a great power?"
Although these incredible ancient powers are now lost, think of the ancient lighthouses that occasionally appear in the Sea of Mist, think of the incredible ruins of the underground, and think of the mechanical palaces that still hovering in the sky near the Solstice......
Which one is not a miracle for us today?
But those were created by our ancestors with their hands, not miracles......
Why do some people turn a blind eye to this?
”Hao Ren didn't know what to say for a while, because he didn't know the newly acquainted magician lady in front of him, nor did he know the background information of the world, and he could only roughly understand the other party's thoughts from Leah's words: she supported the third theory of the Broken Heaven because she firmly believed that human power was enough to shape the world.Vivien was a little curious: "You seem to be very dismissive of the 'Kingdom of God Theory' that shatters the heavens?"
”"It's not that I'm dismissive, it's that I don't think of it as a theory at all," Leah scoffed, "to declare those ruins in the heavens where the gods lived?"
Then we can directly blame all the unsolved mysteries about the Broken Heaven on the miracles, whether it is its trajectory or those floating structures that violate the laws of nature, which can be explained by 'God's design', which can neither be verified nor falsified anyway, how easy it is - but this is not what a scholar should say at all. ”Nangong Sanba reminded: "But it's still called the Broken Heaven, not some old Rahrion or the old world. ”"Yes, it's still called Shattered Heaven, after all, it's a name that's been handed down from time immemorial, but that name doesn't mean anything," Leah said nonchalantly, "If it's really where the gods once lived, then why did it become what it is today?"
Where are the gods who dwell there?
If the god there is dead, wouldn't that god be useless?
What is there to fear about a god who can't even keep his own home?
”This is almost quite deviant statement, even in this theocratic world, few people would preach such things in public, but Leah obviously didn't care about these worldly rules at all, even in the face of a group of mercenaries who had just known each other, she didn't mean to be cautious.Of course, Hao Ren would not have any problem with these remarks made by Leah.Although he immediately associated the shattered continents in the sky with the Founding Star, and he was well aware of the inseparable connection between this "dark realm" and the gods, he had no intention of forcibly reversing the mind of the magician lady.Leah's perception of the world is her own business, and Hao Ren feels that she has no right to interfere in this regard."
Ah, I seem to have told you a lot of things that I don't understand," Leah said with a grin, "and it has shocked your worldview?"
You must be more supportive of the kingdom of God. ”"I do support the theory of the kingdom of God, but I don't disagree with your statement," Hao Ren smiled, "Human power is very great, many times so great that it can make God dumbfounded, but there is no need to compare the two together, because God has what God should do, and people have ...... people should do" "Very novel view," Leah couldn't help but look at Hao Ren twice, "If you don't become a mercenary, I'm afraid you really have the potential to become a thinker."

Okay, it's time for me to go back and rest, I've breathed enough fresh air, I'm getting a little cold. ”"Then we'll see you tomorrow, Miss Magician.""
