Chapter 414: Night Talk on the Island (4)
"Obviously, a stone statue of this level is not an achievement that a tribe or a few tribes can achieve."
Ma Ningze pointed at hundreds of young and middle-aged people transformed on the beach.
"This must be a feat that all people on the entire island can accomplish by uniting."
"But..." Cagalli asked doubtfully.
"Why should others help you build stone statues of your ancestors?" She was very puzzled.
"You came to help me, can't I help you?" Ma Ningze asked with a smile.
"This..." Cagalli was stunned.
"Suppose that two or more tribes unite and build a stone statue that is larger than other tribes." Ma Ningze said with a smile.
"So, as a person from another, third-party primitive tribe, you firmly believe in the Polynian tradition..."
"You saw the majestic and tall stone statues of the other side, and you also saw the union of multiple tribes of the other side..."
"Are you envious that the other person's stone statue is bigger than yours?"
"Yes." Cagalli said honestly.
"So, based on your understanding of the world as a primitive man, if the other party can build such a great stone statue, will you doubt whether their ancestors are really blessing them?" Ma Ningze continued to ask.
"Otherwise, why can two different tribes with different ancestors unite to build a larger stone statue?"
"Are you envious that they are so close, like brothers?" Ma Ningze asked.
"...Yes." Cagalli nodded.
Then, she seemed to think of something and opened her eyes wide.
Cagalli felt it, and a thought crossed her mind, but she didn't catch it.
"Shasha..." She started scratching her head crazily again, as if she was about to grow a brain.
"So, would you like this kind of stone statue to be erected in your tribal territory?" Ma Ningze asked again.
"Yes." Cagalli nodded quickly, she almost realized the problem.
"Then, will you seek help from other tribes that are friendly to you?"
"And promise them that as long as they come to help you, you will eventually help them." Ma Ningze asked again.
"...Yes." Cagalli nodded crazily.
"Then, you unite with me, and I unite with you. My stone statue is bigger than yours, and his is bigger than mine, so I will be bigger than him..."
"In the end, is it possible for people on the entire island to unite and build a huge stone statue together?" Ma Ningze asked with a smile.
"This..." Cagalli was confused.
Her mind began to run wildly.
"...That's wrong!" Cagalli thought for a long time and finally interrupted Ma Ningze's spell-casting chant.
"According to your statement, each tribe has only one ancestor!" she said seriously.
"Why did all the tribes unite in the end?"
"Then is there a possibility?" Ma Ningze replied.
"Since your ancestors were people who made a living on the sea, my ancestors and your ancestors also regard each other as brothers and sisters."
"Is there a possibility that your ancestors and my ancestors theoretically have the same ancestor?" Ma Ningze followed suit.
Cagalli was stunned.
"In the process of building these stone statues together, the people on the island discovered that they are all the same and have a common ancestor."
"Although, in fact, their sense of belonging to each other, as well as their understanding and trust of each other, were established in the process of everyone working together and building the stone statues." Ma Ningze said, the people on the coast
The illusion continues to change.
A group of people who were originally fighting with each other gradually calmed down. Everyone sat on the beach, sometimes pointing to the sea, sometimes pointing to the land.
They began to argue and kept arguing.
Some people disagree no matter what, while others blame those who disagree.
But gradually, as the number of cooperation among everyone began to increase, the voices of opposition began to decrease, and the voices of support began to increase.
No matter how stubborn a person is, his heart is still fleshy. When people from other tribes pour sweat and energy into the stone statues of their ancestors...
Their objections can no longer be spoken.
Because they were also shocked by the greatness of that stone statue.
Such a huge stone statue, their tribe alone would never be able to build such a stone statue!
It turns out that the blessings of our ancestors are real!
It turns out that you can really coexist peacefully with other tribes!
It turns out that everyone can really work together to create a more magnificent stone statue! A greater creation!
If even a 270-ton stone statue could be carved out of the mountain, transported to the seaside, and erected...
So what other miracles are there that humans can’t do?
"So, you will find that these Polynesians will become more and more enthusiastic and devote themselves to the construction of this great colossus." Ma Ningze looked at the two people who were very involved and continued to say steadily.
"But in name, everyone has found a common ancestor."
As soon as Ma Ningze finished speaking, an unprecedented and huge stone statue was artificially erected.
The moment this 270-ton giant stone statue stood firm, all the islanders cheered happily.
They hugged each other, kissed each other, and made wishes to each other, hoping for a better future.
"In the name of this common ancestor, everyone on this island finds a sense of belonging." Ma Ningze said calmly.
"In the process of building these stone statues, all resources must be allocated reasonably. If there are difficulties, everyone will overcome them together. If there are skills, everyone will naturally share them together."
"They even independently developed their own writing." Ma Ningze said, and the flames behind him changed again, transforming into various magical symbols.
"The independent invention of writing is very rare in the entire history of mankind. This kind of writing is called [Langlanglang]. It is also the only one discovered so far among all civilizations in the entire Pacific. It is different from other civilizations and is independent.
The text of the writing system."
"So, when the conflicts between tribes disappeared, the population of this island once exceeded 20,000." Ma Ningze said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire island began to enter unprecedented prosperity. Cagalli and Lund saw that people were smiling when they met each other, and everyone was as enthusiastic as their dearest friends.
"This is the island with the largest number of people among small islands in the world at that time." Ma Ningze looked at this lively scene and sighed slightly.
"The islands with the second largest population after here, such as the Hawaiian Islands, are larger and richer than here, but they still only have about a thousand people."
