Chapter 371 The truth of the world (4)
Emperor Wa Xuying glanced at him playfully and said: "Communication is a necessary process for the progress of civilization; and distance is an obstacle that limits the exchange of civilizations."
"Nowadays, although humans use things like the Internet, they have overcome the barrier of distance."
"But have you ever thought about how ancient humans communicated when faced with distance barriers?"
"this……"
Yin Shiqi was immediately speechless.
Without the Internet, even simple information transmission would be extremely difficult, let alone complex civilized exchanges.
The reason why human modern social civilization has experienced explosive rapid development in just one or two hundred years is much faster than the development speed in the past hundreds or even thousands of years.
This is because network information transmission ignores distance barriers and makes information exchange more convenient.
Most of the ancient civilization exchanges were accompanied by commercial transactions.
People flowed with commerce and trade, resulting in civilized exchanges.
For example, the Silk Road was well known to Yin Shiqi.
It was a famous trade road connecting East Asia and the Mediterranean, and also a road of exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about a year for merchants to make a round trip from the Silk Road.
But if the length of this road increases tenfold, under the same conditions, the time merchants spend on the journey will also increase tenfold, seriously hindering the flow of commerce and trade, and thus hindering civilized exchanges.
It is not impossible that there would be no exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations at all.
Let’s take this example into consideration around the world.
If the gods did not compress the earth, the existing distance barrier would increase hundreds of thousands of times, thus seriously hindering the exchange of world civilizations.
Maybe, human civilization is still stuck in the primitive era.
What's more, even on the now-compressed Earth, humans have not yet fully explored even 30% of the entire surface.
There is absolutely no point in restoring the earth to its original size.
"But, there is still one thing I don't understand!" Yin Shiqi raised his head and looked directly at the shadow of Emperor Wa and asked.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Wa asked casually.
"There are so many gods and goddesses in this vast country, why have we ended up in this situation!" Yin Shiqi asked with great indignation, feeling a little resentful in his heart for no reason.
He thought of the statues of disobedient gods he had seen on this land, as well as the group of disobedient people.
Obviously, that was because the Eastern gods were expelled and the entire land was taken into the hands of the Olympian gods.
People's beliefs have been distorted, history has been submerged, sages have been forgotten, and everything has been tampered with, resulting in the current nondescript situation.
Even one's own civilization is gradually lost.
For a person with a very high sense of self-civilization, this is an extremely intolerable thing.
"So what if there are countless immortals and gods? Those who are not strong enough are just cannon fodder after all!" Emperor Wa sighed helplessly.
The strength of the gods varies, some are strong and some are weak, so there are examples of gods being sealed by the Golden Saints.
What can really determine the direction of the divine war between two different civilizations must rely on the main god-level gods.
She waved her hand and continued: "As you can see, the holy war in the Greek sanctuary is the same. No matter how many silver and bronze saints there are, it is almost impossible to affect the entire battle situation. Only gold-level combat power is qualified!"
"But I really can't understand why our vast Chinese state, with so many great gods, has ended up in this situation!" Yin Shiqi shouted, almost roaring.
Only the two gods of water and fire have reached the level of the main god. Based on this standard, he can also find more famous gods in mythology.
That is definitely a force that can crush any mythical civilization.
Seeing this, Emperor Wa glanced at him suspiciously and said: "Boy, don't you think that gods from other civilizations are rare just because you don't understand them?"
Hearing this, Yin Shiqi felt like he was given a slap on the head.
Yes, he was born in the East, so he knows the mythology of the East best, but he knows very little about the mythology of other civilizations.
Therefore, they subconsciously belittle other civilizations and think they are superior to others.
But in fact, it was just his arrogant wishful thinking.
The most realistic example is the gods of Olympus. In addition to the twelve Titans who are currently in power, there are also two generations of gods who have been in power.
If you think about it carefully, compared to the gods of the East, the gods of Olympus are not inferior.
In addition, there are the Nile Gods in Africa, the Ganges Gods in South Asia, the Mayan Gods in the Americas... No mythological civilization is weak.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Emperor Wa comforted him softly: "Actually, you don't have to be so sad."
"From the perspective of the gods, we, the Eastern gods, have not actually been defeated. The war between us and the gods has continued from eternity to the present and has not ended yet."
"In other words, our war has just begun!"
Hearing this, Yin Shiqi was shocked and asked quickly: "Then what is it that I see now?"
Judging from the current situation, it should be that all the gods that the Olympian gods successfully expelled have monopolized this integrated world, and have been preventing the gods from returning.
Emperor Wa's shadow shook his head and sighed: "You have forgotten again. I told you before that space does not change, only time changes!"
"What you see now is just one of countless possibilities in the long river of time."
"Moreover, the different worlds did not merge together at the same time, causing a melee among the gods. Instead, they merged one after another from time to time."
"Maybe one will fuse in a million years, maybe one will fuse in a hundred years, and the divine wars will break out one after another."
"On the timeline of this world, we have gone through hardships, made huge sacrifices, and expelled the gods of countless civilizations."
"Just when we were about to expel the Ganges gods of South Asia, the world of the Olympus gods suddenly merged in and participated in our divine war."
"Because the previous divine war resulted in the death of a large number of gods who have not returned yet, it was already very difficult for us to expel the South Asian gods. Now facing the Olympus gods who suddenly joined the war, the result can be imagined."
The Eastern gods were completely defeated, leading to the current situation.
"So, the reason why the South Asian gods can still spread their faith in this world is because they teamed up with the Olympus gods to attack you?" Yin Shiqi suddenly thought of South Asia, which retained the belief in alien gods.
"That's right!"
Emperor Wa's shadow nodded and explained helplessly: "At the beginning, in order to reduce their own losses and stabilize their subsequent rule, the Olympus gods chose to join forces with the Ganges gods of South Asia."
"And the Ganges gods of South Asia have been beaten to pieces by us. If we don't agree, we have no chance of winning against the complete Olympus gods."
"In order to prevent themselves from being completely eliminated on this timeline, they chose to compromise."
