The Amazing son in law Chapter 7971
charlie wade deeply agreed with Lin Wan’er (Alani)’s viewpoint.
The path of cultivation is inherently a model of extremely high individual resource consumption. It uses the most refined spiritual energy to infinitely enhance personal strength, which, from a macro perspective, is a tremendous waste.
This highly concentrated allocation of resources is equivalent to draining a planet capable of sustaining billions of people to feed only a few million or even fewer cultivators. This model can hardly create a true human civilization; it can only be a celebration for a small elite group.
Therefore, according to his and Lin Wan’er (Alani)’s speculation, it’s very likely that before the formal formation of human civilization, a group of interstellar colonizing cultivators had already arrived on this land. Like locusts passing through, they exhausted Earth’s cultivation resources before leaving without looking back.
The teleportation array built within the Four Directions Pagoda, frankly speaking, was a channel for their frantic plunder of Earth’s resources. They dispatched countless worker-ant-like cultivators to frantically search for cultivation resources throughout the entire planet, depleting it to the point of Dharma decline before leaving without looking back to embark on the next journey.
Thinking of this, charlie wade asked Lin Wan’er (Alani), “Miss Lin, do you think they might have met with Earth’s ape-men? When the ape-men had just learned to walk upright and use stones as tools, they already possessed the ability for interstellar migration. The scene of two species meeting tens or even millions of years ago is truly fantastical.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) nodded and said seriously, “The scene you described, young master, could very well have actually happened in history.”
After saying that, Lin Wan’er (Alani) looked at charlie wade and said, “Moreover, I suddenly thought of another question.”
charlie wade asked curiously, “What question? Please tell me, Miss Lin.”Lin Wan’er (Alani) walked along, frowning as she murmured, “I’m wondering if some of those myths and legends that have been passed down for thousands of years were actually real? Almost every ancient civilization has some peculiar records, some in the form of murals, others in hieroglyphics. The content of these records is mostly about so-called miracles. Perhaps they overlapped with those cultivators in history.”
charlie wade nodded and said, “That makes sense. Even the legends about dragons and some mythical beasts may not be just the imagination of the ancients. Perhaps these things really existed, but they came with those cultivators and left with them, so no one has seen them since, leaving only some records that are difficult for later generations to verify.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) smiled and said, “Young Master, if what we’ve been discussing were made public, wouldn’t it completely change how billions of people see the world?”
“Definitely.” charlie wade sighed, “There are so many things here that are beyond human comprehension. Who could have imagined that Earth, which humanity is so proud of, even a cosmic wonder, might just be a piece of junk that was ruined and carelessly discarded by another group of people?”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) also sighed, “And their method of interstellar migration is too unimaginable. Can they really achieve interstellar travel just by using teleportation arrays? Even if they come from the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri, that’s still four light-years away. If they can really get there in the blink of an eye with a teleportation array, it would completely overturn humanity’s understanding of the universe.”
charlie wade smiled wryly, “Overturning our understanding might be secondary. The most important thing is that many people will be gripped by fear. When they don’t have neighbors, they want to find one every day, but when they know that a neighbor could walk into their house in the blink of an eye…” Inside the room, his mood was completely different.
He then added self-deprecatingly, “Thinking about these native cultivators on Earth, they’re truly pitiful. They basically just pick up scraps left behind and force themselves into the Dao, each one vainly trying to defy fate, transcend tribulations, and ascend to immortality. Resources have been plundered clean; how can the leftovers possibly support anyone’s cultivation to that level?”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) noticed charlie wade’s somewhat dejected mood. She knew it was a collapse of faith, or perhaps the bewilderment and disorientation of a frog jumping out of a well. Originally, he thought the sky was only as big as the well opening, and although the sky was bigger than himself, it was only limited. After all, the ratio between the sky and himself was perhaps one hundred to one, or at worst, one ten thousand to one. But after jumping out, he realized that the gap was perhaps one trillion to one, like the difference between a giant mountain and a grain of dust.
