Chapter 314: Chapter 313: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (8) Chapter 314: Chapter 313: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (8) To please Su Shu, Snow Fox recounted the origin of this naless tomb deep in the mountains with great details and order.
It took a mont for Su Shu and Little Snake King to digest the information before they finally understood why Little Snake King had been feeling unbearably hot within the space recently.
This matter had to start from the Millennium, just prior to the Apocalypse—it had been over a decade. Su Shu looked around, indeed, in the span of a decade, many things could beco hidden within ti, such as the Taiji Stones under her feet.
In the turn-of-the-century year, there were many prophecies all over the place, from East to West. So said that at the end of the century, God would send a deluge to cleanse the world as the Apocalypse descended, while others claid that at the Millennium, the entire world would collapse into chaos and disarray… Many such doomsday theories about mankind and Earth facing an existential crisis were rampant, spreading wildly and causing widespread panic.
However, after the clock struck midnight, the sun rose as usual, and the world welcod a new era. Life went on unchanged from the day before, and the rumors of a century’s devastation fell apart on their own.
Yet, slowly, a new rumor began to circulate among the people.
One of these rumors was that, in fact, our original world had already been destroyed at the sound of the Millennium’s bells and that the world we now live in is actually on a different tiline—the original world on the other tiline had been destroyed.
Su Shu had heard this rumor before but hadn’t paid much attention to it.
Our understanding of this world and even the universe is often shrouded in the unknown; however, sotis being unaware isn’t necessarily bad. So enjoy the pursuit of the ultimate secrets of the universe, others couldn’t care less and seek the simple pleasures of eating, drinking, and living life—each finding their own contentnt and joys.
Su Shu happened to be the second type of person, respectful of the first but reveling in the second.
Whether it was the destroyed ti-space or the one she was living in now, wherever she was, she focused only on the present.
Of course, where there are people like Su Shu, there naturally are others, who are interested in the various end-of-century theories.
The Tomb Owner, over a decade ago, had personally buried themselves right here. They selected the location, constructed the tomb, and had even personally arranged the surrounding hexagrams. After everything was in place, they discovered a crucial problem—once inside, who would close the tomb for them?
No one knows where he had originally heard the rumor, but it suggested that by doing so, one could avoid the destructive forces of the impending apocalypse, briefly entering the ti-space distortion that spans the centuries. There, one would see many overlapping tilines, each with different futures and possibilities from which to choose. And so, for that one in a million chance, the Tomb Owner began to prepare for this event.
However, when it ca to the crucial mont, the Tomb Owner encountered a problem he couldn’t share with anyone else; he couldn’t exactly tell soone, “I want to die, can you help ?” They would certainly think he was insane.
Unable to find the right person to assist and with no solution in sight, the Tomb Owner was at a standstill and wandered about aimlessly. As he road, he quite unexpectedly encountered soone.
This person was a street-walking blind man who happened to be passing through Great C City that year. After taking an afternoon nap in the alleyways, he woke to find soone resting beside him.
The blind man secretly counted on his fingers, then lifted his head and asked, “What are you looking for?”
