Chapter 387 The Lonely Past ([-])

A long time ago, this world separated from the Tivat continent and existed independently in a space.

No one knows how it was separated from Teyvat in the first place. It seems that since the birth of conscious creatures, this world has long been independent of Teyvat.

Because of the original particularity of this place, even if a new civilization appears, as long as this civilization does not reach the level of development enough to break through the barrier, it will always be isolated from the world of Tevat.

People in this world don't know that there is a bigger world outside. They are like frogs living at the bottom of a well. Although the world above their heads is small, they still think it is all they have.

The world is dark, like they've been living in the dark for years, and there's nothing wrong with it.

They established their own civilization, created their own culture, and erected totems representing their thoughts.

——Although only a small number of people who have evolved "dark pupils" can see the appearance of the totem clearly in the dark, while others can only see clearly with the help of the light emitted by a light blue stone.

With totems and people who can "interpret" totems in the dark, sacrifices, religions, and classes are naturally born.

But people are not surprised, or that should be the case.

Although Darwin did not appear here, nor did he put forward the theory of "natural selection, survival of the fittest", but people acquiesced to this historical process.

So under the control of the sacrificial priest, the thoughts of the people in the darkness gradually unified and became a real whole.

Until one day, a ray of light flashed in the dark sky all day long.

The world is divided into two factions, one is the devout dark believers headed by the priests, and the other is the people who have seen this light with their own eyes. They call themselves the [Redemption Society].

According to members of the Redemption Society, they saw two flashes of golden light that day.

Those two lights are so holy and alive and full of hope.

They are sometimes intertwined and sometimes scattered, but they always maintain a close distance, just like a pair of twin star rocks sliding down the sky, beautiful and shocking.

they said:
[In the whole world, cities are like shimmering new stars]

【Drawing the bright street, the light shines alone like a green stone in the dark】

Of course, the believers headed by the priests naturally disapproved of the remarks made by the members of the Redemption Society. This kind of eagerness for the outside world can only show that their beliefs are no longer pious.

But at the same time, they did not do anything to exclude dissidents, after all [thoughts are free].Even if they no longer believe in darkness, as long as they are still in this world, they are still compatriots.

However, this peaceful trend only lasted for a few days or even a few days. It was only a blink of an eye, and a beam of golden light from the sky fell from the sky and fell to the "ground".

This time, not only members of the Redemption Society saw this scene, but everyone saw the beam of light fall.

Because of this, even the priest himself joined the journey of searching for the light, and according to the direction they saw, they kept looking for it.

However they found nothing.

And in this coincidence, they discovered the truth of the world.

Beyond this world, there is another world.

And that world. Although they can't see the real appearance, the impression of beauty, spaciousness, and variety has been deeply engraved in everyone's mind.

So they said:

[Here the sleeping stars leave their creases]

【As they rise to the sky, bright and shining】

[Immersed in the eternal impulse, the weight of the bronze stars]

But this time, everyone went crazy looking for starlight, even if it was a flash of light in the sky, even if it never shined again after that, people still had no hesitation.

One day, ten days, a hundred days.

One year, ten years, one hundred years.

In the first hundred days, people discovered that there is actually some kind of enchantment in the sky, which shields everything that the outside world can convey, and those two star lights are completely outside the enchantment.

In the first hundred years, people discovered a way to break through the barrier.That is to gather all the power of the current civilization to create the sharpest and smallest spear, thrown by the strongest of the civilization, to attack the weakest point of the barrier drawn by the scholars in advance.

In the end, this weapon was manufactured, and it was named by people: Gungnir, which means the gun of eternity, which can lead them to pierce the bondage and bring true light.

That strong man's name is Hall.

On that day, he raised his spear, came to the [Tower of Babel] built for him by humans, and stood at the closest distance to the sky.

Then, the spear was thrown.

There was a gap in the sky, which was pierced by the spear called Gungnir.

The spear crossed the sky and came out of the world, but what it left behind was a gap, and bits of light seeped out from this gap.

The dark world finally ushered in the first ray of light, which shone on the Tower of Babel, as if praising the great efforts of human beings.

As the most powerful warrior among human beings who have defeated the barrier, that strong man named Hall was the first to accept the light.

He stretched out his hands, closed his eyes, and waited devoutly for the light to shine, as if welcoming their long-awaited hope.

However.
Until the light was on him, he still didn't feel the warmth, holiness, and purity that he imagined
It was exactly the same as when he was in the dark before, there was no difference.

Hall could only hear the cheers of the people below the tower, celebrating their long success and praising themselves above the tower who were the first to be blessed by the light.

Yet all this seems to make no sense.

He did become the first person bathed in light, but at the same time, he was also the first person to understand this cruel lie.

The so-called light is just another kind of darkness, they are essentially the same.

In order to pursue the light, human beings erased the original colors of the whole world and replaced them with colors outside the world. However, they finally discovered that the facts were not as they thought before.

Hall didn't know how the cheering people below would react when they learned the truth, but he couldn't take it anymore.

The only driving force supporting his actions for a hundred years is light, but now the world tells him that light is false.

Finally, the cheers of the people stopped abruptly.

Because the person who ascended the Tower of Babel, who was respected by them as a strong man and was responsible for bringing in the light, jumped down from the tower.

He chose to commit suicide.
