"And, most importantly, and what I can't understand, why would God want to erode your history? What's the purpose? What is it all for?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
The occurrence of this global disaster and plague is easy to understand; it's because humans polluted the ocean, causing the high priest of the ocean to call upon the gods to punish humanity.
However, the erosion of history has never stopped from ancient times to the present.
No matter what you do, you always need a reason, right?
True.
As Mr. Yang said before, the power of God has infinitely surpassed human cognition.
Even a casual movement from them can cause irreparable harm to humans.
They viewed humans as humans viewed ants.
but!
Humans can't possibly stare at ants for countless years and destroy their nests every time, can they?
This analogy may not be entirely accurate, but the general idea is that this god is not invincible, but rather is clearly "deliberately targeting" the history of this world.
"Why is there absolutely no problem with modern history?"
Why is God's influence on history so significant in the past, and so weaker as time goes on?
Jiang Xiao frowned; something seemed off about what these people were saying, so he corrected them.
"No, you need to understand that it is not that it suddenly began to erode history from now on, but rather that it has been eroded for the longest time in the past and the shortest time in the present."
As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, an old man raised his hand.
"Jiang Shen, look, the Great Qin Dynasty is more than 1,500 years old, but its history is clearer and more complete than that of the Great Fang Dynasty!"
Jiang Xiao quickly went over and picked up a book about the Qin Dynasty.
It's infinitely more detailed than things like "Battle of a certain type, one side wins" or "Great famine, countless people die."
"Why is that? Shouldn't the longer the time, the more severe the erosion?"
But there's no problem, right?
The other dynasties that existed around the same time as the Qin Dynasty only have a few brief records.
But why is the history of the Qin Dynasty so well preserved?
"Because the Qin Dynasty was awesome?" an old man tentatively replied.
The Qin Dynasty in this world is very similar to that on Earth; it also swept across the land and established a unified dynasty.
wrong
Jiang Xiao felt as if he had grasped something, but he didn't know how to express it.
"By the way, do you have a museum here? Does it house old artifacts left over from ancient dynasties?"
"some!"
Jiang Xiao directly viewed the photos and information of those antiques on the computer.
The result was as he expected.
The porcelain, which is only a few hundred years old, is already broken and in terrible condition.
Even those jade artifacts that are not easily damaged have turned yellow and dull.
As for the books left over from their dynasty [the books I just looked at were all compiled in modern times], they are even more useless.
Whether it was paper, bamboo slips, or animal hide, the records were all tattered and worn, as if they had been soaked in sulfur.
This further convinced Jiang Xiao of his earlier thoughts.
These dynasties did not intentionally conceal their consciousness, otherwise so many documents would not have been unearthed.
"Huh? This sword?"
Jiang Xiao discovered a brand-new bronze sword. Unlike other bronze artifacts, it was not broken and covered in rust. The blade even gleamed with a cold light.
"The Dingqin Sword was unearthed from the Qin Mausoleum."
"So new?"
"Uh, yes, it was very new when it was dug out. We don't know what material was coated on it, we can't detect it, and we can't explain why it hasn't decayed after more than a thousand years."
What was applied?
Jiang Xiao had previously thought that those unearthed divine weapons might have been coated with some kind of material to prevent them from decaying for thousands of years.
But in ancient times, were there really such powerful anti-corrosion materials?
According to an insider at the scene, the Dingqin sword was not carefully preserved in a vacuum environment, but was stuck in a stone in the Qin Mausoleum.
Jiang Xiao remained silent and changed the filter to only view the Qin Dynasty period.
It's one thing that the history of the Qin Dynasty is more complete.
I never expected that even the unearthed artifacts would be so well preserved.
"Upon closer investigation, I believe that the Qin Dynasty may not be the only anomaly!"
The world has seen more dynastic changes than Earth, but fortunately, there are many people and great strength, so they quickly found several special dynasties.
Great Han!
Ming dynasty!
Datang!
Chapter 569 He Comes
Several dynasties separated them.
Why is their history considered more "normal"?
"Um, is it possible that these dynasties that were less affected by corruption were originally more powerful?"
Eh?
That seems to be the case?
Does this mean that the stronger a nation is, the less its civilization is eroded?
But that's not right either.
Firstly, in terms of national strength alone, the closer a dynasty is to modern times, the more powerful it is.
Initially, weapons consisted of short swords and spears, but later bows and arrows were developed for ranged attacks. Around the 800th century, firearms and cannons, among other ranged weapons, were introduced.
Second
Even if a country was powerful back then, what use would it have for trade?
The Qing Dynasty is gone!
Even if the "gods" were truly wary of the existence of dynasties like the Tang and Han, which "restrained" them and were unable to erode their civilization.
But now that a thousand years have passed, why are the civilizations of these dynasties still more intact than others?
I'm completely baffled.
After listening to Jiang Xiao's words, everyone felt that what he said made sense.
Even if these dynasties had unique characteristics, it certainly wasn't because they were powerful; there must have been other unique aspects among them.
‘Dong dong dong~’
The knocking on the door broke the contemplative atmosphere in the room.
Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw the doctor's student from yesterday standing at the door.
However, his face was as pale as paper, and he was swaying precariously, as if he had been drained of his life force by a ghost, and seemed about to collapse at any moment.
Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden turn of events. Jiang Xiao quickly walked to the door and helped the student up with one hand.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiao's voice carried a hint of concern, but he couldn't help but feel nervous.
The student had tears in his eyes, his lips trembling, and he managed to utter a few words with difficulty.
"The doctor... the doctor is dead."
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the room.
The doctor, the one hailed as the most brilliant doctor in the medical field in the last three hundred years, the genius scholar with profound insights into this plague, how could he possibly...
"What...what did you say? How could the Doctor..."
Someone in the room asked incredulously, their voice trembling.
The student bit his lip, seemingly trying to calm himself down, before continuing.
"It was in his study. I went to him to ask about some sample data from the lab, but I never expected this..."
He was already sobbing before he could finish speaking.
