Chapter 366: The Familiar World No. 8 (6K)
Shen Sui looked at the information sent by Zhang Fang on his phone, examining it very carefully, not missing any details.
If what Vivian said is correct, then all the Soul Card Worlds should have some connection to him, and these connections mostly date back to over a thousand years ago.
Because of this, Shen Sui specifically went to verify it.
In worlds possessing Extraordinary Powers, such matters are hard to prove, because generally, worlds with Extraordinary Powers are always accompanied by various obscure secrets. Shen Sui's related achievements from a thousand years ago already belong to the secrets of the Extraordinary World, and trying to find evidence of these worlds' past existence through superficial world introductions is basically impossible.
However, those worlds without Extraordinary Powers are relatively simpler to verify.
Shen Sui easily found some records related to himself in some ordinary Soul Card Worlds.
Some are worlds similar to Earth, with very similar histories, but at a certain turning point, the historical events diverge. Particularly, the worlds that deviate during the Three Kingdoms era are exceptionally numerous. Often in those worlds, during the Three Kingdoms era, Shen Sui can always find historical figures that resemble him—after all, there are really not many people who could plunge into local armies and perform effortlessly like in certain games.
These should be historical worlds left over from when Shen Sui played games like Dynasty Warriors.
In another ordinary world, there was a legend of a terrifying mayor. It's said that this mayor built a huge reservoir in the city center to collect the waste from the entire city and used this waste to generate hydroelectric power. However, one night, the mayor went mad and blew up the reservoir, causing a torrent of sewage to pour down, submerging the entire city in an instant. This magnificent metropolis thus became history.
Looking at this legend, Shen Sui found it strangely familiar, always feeling as though it was something he had done.
With these events as verification, Shen Sui had no choice but to believe Vivian's words.
But in those Extraordinary Worlds, Shen Sui really couldn't find any relevant clues.
Zhang Fang was very straightforward, sending all the information on the Soul Card Worlds that the Exploration Bureau had disclosed.
Although it did not cover the thirty-three Soul Card Worlds, the detailed information of some worlds was still very useful to Shen Sui.
World No. 8 is a world composed of islands, with the dark sea becoming a natural barrier to communication.
This dark and terrifying ocean has given birth to countless bizarre and horrifying monsters, and all the Dominators of World No. 8 were born from this ocean.
The ocean of World No. 8 periodically erupts with an eerie black mist, engulfing the entire world in an instant, leading to the destruction of countless magnificent civilizations.
The people of World No. 8 were not dominated by the Dominators from the beginning. They once attempted to rebel.
However, similar to the Dawn Continent, all of this rebellious history was erased during the contemporary rule of the Dominators. What the Dominators needed was a flock of sheep so docile that they wouldn't resist even if their blood was drained.
But things changed briefly more than a hundred years ago.
In a span of ten years, all the Dominators of World No. 8 mysteriously disappeared. No matter how the believers called, they could not receive any response from the Dominators. It was during this time that a historical resurgence movement erupted in World No. 8.
A group of scholars, often overlooked in the Extraordinary World and with no powers whatsoever, began to seek the true history of World No. 8.
Their actions were deemed heretical in the World No. 8 of that time, forcing them to conduct their academic research in dark basements.
Even though the Dominators were severed from contact, their rule still existed.
The Church Court, the Empire, the families—these rulers of World No. 8 regarded the scholarly research materials as a blasphemy to the Dominators.
Countless scholars of that era were executed, their research burned, and their students were massacred. The Flame of rebellion in World No. 8 was extinguished before it could rise.
No wonder Alice said she wanted to respond to this world, it's even more despairing than the Dawn Continent.
No matter how the Church of Dawn tried to conceal, the deeds of the Twilight Council still spread in the myths of the Elders, thus they could only alter, not completely erase the existence of the Twilight Saintess.
But in World No. 8, which consists solely of humans, altering history is far simpler. People simply cannot find any hope to change the status quo from history.
The Dominator's rule seemingly always was like this.
The darkness of this world, too, seemingly always was like this.
People can see no hope, nor do they know to whom they should pray in times of despair.
They can only choose from the few hideous and evil Dominators, selecting one that is relatively less detestable as their spiritual support, praying that they will not be swallowed by the strange and dark sea.
"History has almost been erased." Shen Sui rubbed his temples, "No wonder Vivian didn't find any concrete evidence."
Yet this world view gave Shen Sui a very familiar feeling.
Countless game scenes floated through his mind, but he couldn't find anything related...
Wait a minute...what if it's not a game I've played?
A flash of inspiration hit Shen Sui, and he instantly thought of something.
The eerie ocean as the source of world power.
