Chapter 147 Deep Sea Age

Nuomiguo's voice was very gentle, as if he was telling an ordinary historical story.

Chen Yan felt that this story was a bit strange.

"Wait a minute, Nuomiguo, someone told me that [lycanthropy] occurs immediately without warning, and it is not because of the use of any god's blood..."

The more Chen Yan spoke, the lower his voice became and the less confident he became.

Are those words that Claude Moon said... false?

Chen Yan looked at Nuomiguo's pure eyes and finally understood one thing:

That grandson of Claude Moon is lying to me!

Chen Yan realized this fact and calmed down inside. At the same time, he was even more grateful for his previous defenses against Claude Moon - now it seemed that those defenses were completely correct.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment and then said:

"Nuomi Guo, what you are saying is that [God's Blood] causes people to undergo unbearable [evolution], and this [evolution] reacts as [lycanthropy] in humans - can I understand this?"

Nuomiguo nodded: "That's right."

Chen Yan speculated: "In other words, is the so-called god a beast in a certain sense?

Some kind of beast more advanced than human life forms?”

Nuomiguo replied in very cautious terms: "No one has proven this, so we can't be sure.

The only thing we can be sure of is that the [beasts] that fall into lycanthropy and transform into gods are also carbon-based life forms, and in terms of life form, they are no more advanced than ordinary humans."

Chen Yan further thought of the [Lyphin Virus] that could make demi-humans stronger.

"Nuomiguo, you must also know about the [Anthropic Virus]."

Nuomiguo nodded.

Chen Yan continued:

"If you follow the definition you just made, the [Animal Transformation Virus] can also allow people to undergo [Animal Transformation] in a sense, similar to [Evolution], and thus gain some extraordinary abilities.

In fact, I have always been confused in my heart, is [Lycan Virus] really not a weakened version of [Lycan Disease]? Is it really not the same thing in essence?"

When talking about this issue, Nuomiguo also frowned:

"This is one of the unexplainable problems we encountered before entering the empire."

"On the surface, [Lycomorphic Virus] is almost a weakened version of [Lycanthropic Disease] - both will cause people to [evolve] to a certain extent, thereby gaining extraordinary abilities."

"But no one has proven whether [the lycanthropic virus] comes from the blood of God."

"I think the universities in the empire that study theology must be doing research in this area.

There may even be some research results already available, but they have not been made public for the time being.”

Nuomiguo said: "This is the reason why I want to enter an academic university and pursue academic practice."

Chen Yan suddenly realized: "That's it."

This is why Nuomi Guo is so anxious to go to school.

Chen Yan thought deeply: "Speaking of which, you must have made a lot of preparations for this, right?"

Nuomiguo smiled confidently: "If the church school does not restrict the accumulation of credits, I am sure to be admitted to university within three months!"

Ogami said in a serious tone from the side: "It's too conservative."

Jack Baldo listened to their conversation and looked at Nuomiguo with surprised eyes: "You are so young, how do you know so much?"

Nuomi Guo said in a calm tone: "Age is not a shackle that limits knowledge, Mr. Bardo."

A trace of narrowness flashed in her eyes: "In order to learn the meaning of [immortality], Ogami and I once went deep into the land of the ancient gods, Rodran... Your history is very interesting."

Jack Baldo opened his mouth in surprise: "Is there anyone alive in that damn place?!"

Huh……

Chen Yan looked at Jack Baldo's reaction and immediately realized that the so-called [Lordland, the Land of the Ancient Gods] seemed to be the location of Jack Baldo's hometown of Catalina.

Nuomi Guo nodded:

"Legend has it that at the end of Rodran [Deep Sea Age], there was a little-known and nameless brave man who used himself as firewood to add new firewood to the initial furnace.

The flames are rekindled, the apocalypse is over, and the world can continue to exist in the light illuminated by the flames——

This is the legend of Lordland that is now popular in the market, and is a bedtime story that even children today are familiar with."

A little disappointment appeared on Jack Baldo's face: "Ah, ah... I'm sorry, I have lost part of my memory. I only remember that the flames of Lordran are about to extinguish, darkness falls, and the immortal disease breaks out... It seems that that era has passed for a long time."

Nuomi Guo thought for two seconds before speaking in a cautious tone: "The era you are talking about is the last era of [Light Will Go Out] before the [Deep Sea Age] which was named [Doomsday].

It was earlier than the era of the unknown hero who saved the world.

I seem to have seen descriptions of that era on inscriptions."

Nuomiguo spoke a strange language, which was not the language of any civilization that Chen Yan had ever known:

"The fire was about to extinguish, but the king was nowhere to be seen. The last Xin Wang, who was reborn from the ashes, turned his back on the initial fire and extinguished it. The world fell into darkness, the deep sea era came, and everything returned to its original state."

Nuomiguo translated this sentence in imperial language, and then said in a calm tone:

"The [Deep Sea Age] after the flames were extinguished is a chaotic era that does not exist in any history books... It is also the era that I am most eager to explore... There are secrets of immortality there."

After Nuomiguo said these words, there was a moment of silence in the restaurant.

Everyone was thinking about what Nuomiguo said, and they couldn't even hear the heavy snow whizzing against the window glass in the corridor——

Towards evening, the snow fell heavily again. People at the night market left one after another in desperation, and the mobile vendors were cursing and preparing to close their stalls.

Winters in the Empire are always so unpleasant, with four months of snowfall enough to make the most cheerful person frown.

In the kitchen on the first floor of 33 Walker Street, the flames in the bread oven were still dancing, but there was not much firewood left.

Most of the firewood has been burned to ashes, leaving only two small sparks, which are still flickering in places where the dim light of the kerosene lantern cannot shine.

After Chen Yan digested the information in Nuomiguo's words, he curiously said:

"Nuomi Guo, where did these eras you mentioned happen? Is it a certain continent? Or?"

Nuomiguo and Ogami looked at each other, and after confirming Ogami's affirmative look, they replied: "To be precise, we are not going to Rodran by boat."

Chen Yan was very curious: "How did you get there? Did you go by carriage? Or was it a steam train?"

Nuomi Guo smiled bitterly and said, "You may not believe it, but we entered Lordland through a painting."

Chen Yan glanced at Jack Baldo and successfully glared at him. He had no idea what Nuomi Guo was talking about.

"We only know that Lordland is real... but it may be very far away from the empire, so far away that even ocean ferries cannot reach it, so far away... that it almost does not exist on the world map."
