"The earth is under the clouds, and above the endless white clouds, giants made of white jade are singing and dancing."
"The friendly giant invited mortals and gave him gold and the blessing of an elder brother."
The psalm is very long and the grammar is very subtle, but the content of three thousand words tells the story of a prosperous giant.
The giant subspecies in the story is friendly and good at art. It holds various dances and performances in its cloud city, and even actively invites mortals, dragons, and beasts to participate, and gives "blessings" and wealth to the final winner.
.
Sounds good?
"The cloud chariots of the villains in the sky constantly patrol the world, hunting down the creatures on the earth for their entertainment. They force them to perform cruel angles and performances, and turn the losers into a feast for the spectators."
But according to the records of ancient orcs, this is a demon-like race.
There seems to be an obvious conflict, who is telling the truth?
"Both sides should be telling the truth."
Lu Ping'an was vaguely aware that only "true information" in this world can withstand the test of history.
From the perspective of giants, they are the elder brothers of all living beings, so they can naturally make choices among their "younger brothers" and eliminate and deal with the weak ones smoothly.
As for the creatures on the ground, hundreds or even thousands of individuals are captured, and only one may be sent back in the end.
Even if you bring gold and so-called blessings, what's the point?
Lu Pingan put down his "book" and sighed.
This is the real history, not a beautiful heroic epic, nor any perfect grand narrative.
The twists and turns filled with contradictions from all sides, racial differences, interest struggles, and all kinds of helplessness and sadness should be the real "history."
"Compared to current puppet shows, these cruel histories are more real and more dynamic."
For insiders, this is quite cruel and ruthless. The earlier the era, the more cruel and unkind it was. However, with the progress of history, new civilizations have been built one after another, with morality, law and culture. The cruelty of the past has
Gladiator culture was replaced by drama, song and dance, mortals even used machinery and beast taming, and the labor force was further liberated
"As a result, he was regressed again by man and God."
Fairy tales in the upper world, purgatory and gladiatorial arenas in the underground world, and battlefields in the heavenly world finally lead to cruel and real social evolution. So far, it has turned into a "livestock farm and arsenal" that people don't know how to evaluate.
Is this progress? Lu Ping An cannot evaluate it, because the happiness index of mortals may have really increased.
"Fortunately, I don't need to comment. This thing seems to be wrong no matter how you evaluate it."
Lu Ping'an sometimes secretly rejoices. Fortunately, he is not involved in politics and has no interest in that area. Otherwise, sometimes these problems would really be unsolvable.
He is always just a "folk strongman" who only uses his own preferences to interfere in the world. He does not need to consider everything as officially as the official and repeatedly think about hair loss.
But from another perspective, knowing that "I don't understand this aspect" is a rare and valuable quality in itself. Too many strong people mess around according to their own preferences, but never think that they have not added anything in the administrative aspect, and in the end they basically end up with chicken feathers all over the place.
This is actually a good thing. It is not a bad thing. It does not end up being ignored by the lower levels, and then a crazy tyrant comes to rule, and in the end it is unable to control the calling home star. This is already considered good.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Pingan shook his head.
The more he knows, the less he will interfere with the social structure at will. Most forced interference will only bring tragedy.
It is normal to have what kind of society and what kind of system. In this extraordinary multiverse, different races represent completely different social structures and historical experiences.
“Interesting”
The Kingdom in the Clouds in the information I read is not just a story.
On the contrary, these records are real gains.
The magic of the giant in the clouds includes the rare ability to control the clouds, and at the same time, there are a lot of levitation technologies. In that era, there were neither machines nor alchemical products such as magic engines. How did long-lasting levitation occur in ancient times?
Lu Ping'an is very interested.
Comparing these records is because the giants eventually became the sunk floating cities in history and were also hidden in history. There may not be records of the giants, but the victors of that era recorded the locations of several battles.
In the records, as well as the ancient maps of this world, as long as we find enough corresponding records, we can deduce the crash points.
Apart from anything else, Ping An is very interested in the genetic modules of those ancient giants.
At the same time, these records also mention a large number of secret techniques and spells, including martial arts sublimation rituals similar to the Three Faces of Domination, as well as the unique abilities of each race.
This is the most valuable.
A racial era may be a complete extraordinary system, as well as configured genetic modules and life evolution chains.

This world can cultivate a pantheon of gods. Lu Ping'an doesn't think that those ancient dragons and giants will be weaker than the so-called new gods today.
After all, the information reviewed shows that the fall of those races was partly due to the rise of latecomers, but the main reason was civil war and civil strife in various senses.
"Locations A to C have been determined to be sinking areas. There is nothing we can do."
"There may be important targets in three locations, and they are in the safe zone, and our people are already on the way."
"Most people going to other cemeteries went smoothly. The people there showed no resistance at all and instead cooperated with us in digging graves."
The courtyard began to dispatch personnel to explore possible locations as much as possible.
As for some locations and important purposes, the tomb-keepers had already speculated about them, but in their previous situation, it was too difficult to save their inheritance and lives. If they acted recklessly and attracted the attention of the local lords, they would be seeking death.
But for Lu Ping An now, the profit margin brought by "archaeology" may be zero, but it may also be 10,000%.
A large number of top-level combat forces have been deployed, and each location has been verified and confirmed. Most of the areas have yielded nothing. If you accidentally find a few antiques, you will be lucky.
However, the remains of some ancient creatures have been excavated in some areas, and now the courtyard's life system is taking the time to study them.
"The top priority targets, Long Yan's spells and heroic spirit skills, have you gained anything?"
"No, but there are a large number of unknown items in the warehouse that require further verification."
Even though Lu Ping An has deployed all the rule-based abilities to facilitate the analysis of extraordinary items, there are too many unknown items that exceed their level limits, so many items in the warehouse still don’t know their utility. But this is actually a good thing, in a sense.
"It cannot be identified" is roughly equivalent to "This is a very valuable research product."
Lu Ping'an likes days like this. If he can earn profits while saving money, it will give him and his team more motivation.
He is waiting patiently for the moment of harvest.
