However, since the cosmic war humans embarked upon, it beca destined that all humans would face imnse difficulty in the developnt of technology related to Primordial Energy.
Almost to the point of severance.
In this vast cosmos, each life’s existence ultimately remains tightly bound to its own civilization and roots, difficult to separate.
"History and culture, is it?" Shen Shi murmured for a mont, suddenly speaking, "Going by your na, your bloodline should originate from the Eastern Country, correct?"
"Eastern Country... indeed, such an ancient na." Gong Chu sighed unexpectedly, "Yes, according to the few ancient books that have been passed down, the Eastern Country once possessed the longest and most complete historical culture in human history, the only civilization among the four great ancient civilizations that did not experience interrupted heritage, but... it was also the most thoroughly destroyed culture after the war three thousand years ago."
Even knowing that Mr. Shen from the Yuan Yuan Clan could produce nurous ancient books.
Yet, Gong Chu held little hope.
Just as he said, in that war that completely crushed, along with six hundred years of enslavent and cultivation, history and culture were destroyed too thoroughly.
Especially history.
To preserve even so entertainnt-related culture is exceedingly rare, and even the few ancient books Shen Shi produced earlier could sustain the foundation of weaker Yuan Yuan Clans.
If given enough ti, maybe he could barely outline a self-origin from the information extracted from these ancient books.
However, ti is not sufficient.
Shen Shi could feel Gong Chu’s emotions leaking through his partly relaxed deanor.
Instead, he was relieved.
He thought the reason Gong Chu never ntioned needing this aspect from him was due to its insignificance, but now it seems Gong Chu simply didn’t think he could provide a relatively complete history and culture.
This ans that there still is hope.
Shen Shi opted not to add anything more, as he originally ca here to trade today, and he directly said: "Have you ever heard of the book ’Five Thousand Years of History’?"
The mont this title was ntioned, a fierce glow burst suddenly from Gong Chu.
Though constrained within less than an inch from his body, the glow was intensely blazing!
Even sowhat glaring.
Shen Shi secretly marveled, but felt more reassured.
If he ntioned the book title, and Gong Chu had no reaction, that would an either ignorance or insignificance; but this reaction just shows what Gong Chu needs!
"Mr. ... your clan actually possesses such a treasure!?" Gong Chu indeed appeared sowhat excited at this mont.
He naturally has heard of this title; not only heard, but on his hands, he even has a scorched remnant of it with scant bits of information left, even then, he cherishes it as a treasure!
What is recorded on it is a relatively complete history of the Eastern Country!
Even if it’s just a summary, or a children’s educational book from the Earth Star Era, it doesn’t matter!
What matters is completeness!
It’s authenticity!
As long as the information isn’t missing, then this book, for him, is an entry to Master of Primordial Energy!
It is also a ray of hope for humanity struggling within the Mude System in the upcoming catastrophe!
Gong Chu already realized, perhaps he had vastly underestimated the cultural heritage depth of the guest’s clan!
"Regarding my clan, no need to ask further." Shen Shi played mysterious.
"I understand." Gong Chu, after all, was already nearing Master of Primordial Energy level, the Primordial Energy light manifesting on him gradually faded, then very respectfully raised his hand, pressed his chest, and deeply bowed, "I begin to believe, sir’s appearance is destiny’s guidance, the will of the boundless cosmos has not abandoned humanity."
This seed like so sort of faith.
But Shen Shi knew it was rely a way of expressing emotion, akin to how people from the Western Alliance say "Thank God."
The so-called will of the cosmos stems from a hypothesis that the entire cosmos itself is a life possessing Primordial Energy, as Primordial Energy seems omnipresent.
But this lacks any reliable validation, rely many civilizations are accustod to treat "the will of the boundless cosmos" as a phrase symbolizing destiny and miracles.
Hence, Shen Shi paid no mind to the "destiny" in Gong Chu’s words.
He only said, "Normally, such level of ancient books aren’t casually shared, yet the existence of Mother Star Civilization is equally important to us humans who have fled outside, so what do you intend to trade with?"
This is the black market, speaking of an item implies intent to trade.
This was precisely why Gong Chu initially reacted with such excitent.
And Shen Shi’s words effectively also tossed out his standpoint and attitude.
After all, barter relies on both parties’ needs.
’Five Thousand Years of History’ for Gong Chu, and even for the entire human race on Mother Star, its importance is self-evident, even worth any cost, but trading this book to Gong Chu, for Shen Shi, likewise fulfills significant needs, just as Shen Shi said, the existence of Mother Star is their greatest supporting base.
Therefore, Shen Shi was sowhat curious about what Gong Chu ultimately intended to use for trading.
