If Guhan had doubted the abundance of resources recorded in history books 1,000 years ago, Guhan couldn't help but doubt the number of sword bearers recorded in history books 1,000 years ago when he saw the scene before him.
According to the records, the number of sword bearers was limited by the scarcity of natural sword maidens and the imperfection of man-made sword maidens after the apocalypse. Therefore, the number of human sword bearers was limited to 10,000 for a very long period of time.
This was the unquestionable truth that every teacher in the school tirelessly conveyed to their students.
But the problem was that when Gu Han saw the densely packed sword-bearers, his entire body began to tremble slightly. There were at least 30,000 sword-bearers in front of him … This was more than three times the upper limit of the number of human sword-bearers recorded in the books.
However, this was only the number of sword bearers living in a small place like the Skyscraper Cliff. If other regions were included, who knew how terrifying the total number of sword bearers in this era would be?
"Don't you think there are too many people?"
Wang Zhiqiang saw that Guhan was in disbelief and took the initiative to explain, "Actually, there aren't so many people usually. Lord Jiandi said that this is the last year of the Twelve Skyscraper Palaces, and there are only six months left. Therefore, many sword bearers have come here to test their limits. Therefore, there are more people than usual."
"However, more than half of the 30,000 people standing here are losers who want to try again. According to the rules, the interval between each challenge must be more than a day, so these people are all gathered here. After the interval is over, they will go in and challenge again!"
"How many people do you think are here in total?
Is it 1/10 of all the sword bearers? "Guhan asked very naturally.
"I don't think so!"
Wang Zhiqiang did some calculations. "There are about 30,000 people standing in the plaza, and about 40,000 to 50,000 people challenging in the Twelve Skyscraper Palaces.
Even if there are 70,000 people, that's barely 1/20 of them. How could it be 1/10 of them? "
70,000!
One twentieth!
These two numbers made Guhan gasp. This meant that the total number of sword-bearers in this world had reached 1.4 million. This was a number that no human dared to imagine. This number had exceeded the limit of the number of sword-bearers recorded in the history books for the past 1,000 years.
According to historical records, the highest number of sword-bearers was 450 years ago. At that time, the total number of sword-bearers had reached 380,000. This was a peak that had never been reached until now.
"Liar!
There must be a swindler here! "Guhan thought excitedly.
Clearly, between the truth described in the instance dungeon and the truth recorded in the history books, one of them must be a liar.
Either that, or this instance dungeon was fictional and the 1.4 million sword bearers did not exist.
Either the history books were forged, or the history inside had been maliciously tampered with.
According to common sense, we can take it for granted that this instance dungeon is fake.
After all, this was just a dungeon in the game. The other side was the history that all the base cities recognized.
The credibility between the two was self-evident.
However, the problem was that in Guhan's heart, he was leaning towards another answer. That was, the reality described in this instance dungeon was the real history, and the history recorded in the history books would always be marked with a big question mark. This was because history had always been a little girl that could be pretended to be a little girl.
"Nina-chan, what do you think?"
Guhan turned and asked Tomono Kakaze who was floating beside him. He wanted to know what this superior artificial intelligence that was said to have all the information in the world had to say.
"This is fake!"
Takakaze Tomono said decisively. However, Gu Han could hear a hint of hesitation in Takakaze Tomono's words … To be able to make an artificial intelligence being hesitate to answer a question, it meant that there was definitely more to it than met the eye. At the very least, history was definitely not as it was described in history books.
"Brother Wang, let me ask you a question. Do you know how Yuan Kou came to be?" Guhan suddenly turned his head and asked.
"How did Yuan Kou come to be?
Didn't he open the dimensional door and come in by himself? "
Wang Zhiqiang scratched his head in confusion. He could not understand why Guhan would ask him such a question.
"Have you ever thought about it?
Yuan Kou might have come from our own human culture. As long as we destroy our culture, then Yuan Kou will disappear by itself. "
After saying this, Guhan stared closely at Wang Zhiqiang's expression, trying to find some clues from his face.
The reason why Guhan asked Wang Zhiqiang such a strange question was because a suffocating guess suddenly popped up in Guhan's mind.
Guhan suddenly remembered that the Great Cultural Destruction that all humans regretted now happened not long after.
That was when Kenzu reached his old age. "Yuan Kou came from human culture. As long as human culture is completely destroyed, Yuan Kou will disappear along with it."
With the support of the majority of humans, the Great Cultural Destruction Operation was launched. As a result, almost 99.99% of human culture and history were wiped out. Later generations could only go to the remnants to find the truth of the matter.
Based on the timeline, the Culture Apocalypse would happen about five years after the storyline of the dungeon.
If that was the case, then the saying that Yuan Kou came from human culture should have spread and started to ferment in the hearts of all humans.
No revolutionary movement that involved an entire country or even the entire human race could start in such a short period of time, especially when this revolutionary movement attempted to wipe out all existing human cultures. Therefore, it was necessary to obtain the sincere support of the vast majority of human beings. Without the sincere support of the vast majority of human beings, it was impossible for culture to be wiped out so ruthlessly … Because culture existed in the human memory, and as long as humans passed it down through word of mouth, it could still be preserved.
In fact, the effect of the Great Cultural Destruction was perfect. It was obvious that it had the support of most humans.
To achieve that, all humans had to believe that human culture was the source of Yuan Kou's existence … but that would take time, a lot of time.
The White Lotus Order had to spread propaganda for 150 years before they finally attracted enough believers to rebel. The Great Cultural Destruction, on the other hand, was obviously more difficult. Even with the full cooperation of the ruling class, it would take at least 20 years to ferment and ferment.
If what was recorded in the history books was true, and the Great Cultural Destruction would officially begin in five years, then the core idea of the Great Cultural Destruction, 'Yuan Kou came from culture', should have been widely spread among human beings and the sword-bearers. Not everyone might believe in it, but at least everyone should know about it … It was just like how every Chinese knew that 'respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation'.
That was why Guhan stared at Wang Zhiqiang's expression, wanting to see if this sword-bearer of the Famed Swordsmen understood this point of view.
"I know!"
Wang Zhiqiang nodded, which made Guhan heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was some truth in the human history books.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhiqiang slapped Guhan hard in the next second.
"You're talking about the Redemption Council's point of view, right?"
Wang Zhiqiang looked at Guhan in surprise. "Brother Military Governor, why are you interested in these things?
The Redemption Council is just a small organization. If my brother's wife's son didn't work as a cleaner in their council, who would be interested in the point of view of such a small organization?
What Yuan Kou came from human culture? Nonsense, idealism of a son of a b * tch. "
"But I heard that the Sword Committee has begun to pay attention to these claims, and the Discipline Commission is also preparing to arrest these people who spread lies.
I heard that the construction site in Lengthen City is short of workers, and these guys can go there. At least they can be considered to be contributing to humanity, which is much better than staying at home and talking nonsense! "
Wang Zhiqiang said while sneaking glances at Guhan. Obviously, most of what he said was for Guhan to hear, hoping that Guhan would not go astray and believe in these evil cults.
"I see!
This guy should really be arrested! "Guhan said faintly, no change of emotion could be seen on his face.
But Guhan's heart was like a storm.
Now, even the authenticity of the Great Cultural Collapse was included in the scope of doubt.
If all this was true, then it meant that the entire human history had been tampered with by a powerful force.
This tampering force was so powerful that the SSS-level information of the Sword Committee that Guhan had access to as the highest authority in Yuzhang City had been completely tampered with … Perhaps there was no historical truth in this world that had been passed down, and what had been passed down were just some ridiculous illusions.
"I hope everything that happened in this dungeon is fake!" Guhan could only comfort himself in this way.
…
"Let's go to the Mouse Palace!"
Guhan took a deep breath and took the initiative to end this topic that could shatter his worldview at any time. He came to the gate of the Mouse Palace with Wang Zhiqiang.
The Mouse Palace was like its name, with a classic Chinese style, but at the same time, it looked like a familiar mouse.
The Mouse Palace was like a huge mouse placed on this land, and the gate of the Mouse Palace was the place to connect the mouse cable.
It could be seen that Lord Kenzu was quite a bit of a prank. In addition to the first palace of the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces, the other eleven palaces also had the same nonsensical names as the Mouse Palace.
"Those who want to participate can enter the palace by themselves. Those who go out standing are the winners, and those who go out lying down are the losers." This was a sentence posted at the gate of the Mouse Palace, and it was also the rule of the entire Twelve Skyscraping Palaces.
As long as one had the ability to go out standing, one would be the winner.
