Good question, and it’s only human to ask it.
Fu Qian could quite understand the feelings towards Demigod Aike.
After deciding to wait and see a bit, the rapid change of the situation beca really overwhelming.
From a void where there is nothing, to the continuous transformation of scenes, the bizarre and magical overwheld the senses, and the scene before his eyes even brought a ntal shock.
And a rather uncomfortable shock at that, leaving anyone in a bad mood.
"This ship seems to possess a certain transcendent quality of ti and space, it might have existed sowhere once."
Under normal circumstances, Fu Qian would try to remain humble, but as Aike uttered an exclamation and Lord Stoss instinctively glanced over, he did not hold back and provided an evaluation.
"Of course, existing does not necessarily an it was in the real world, after all, the intensity of the psychic resonance seems a bit too high."
And in the next mont, he pointed to his head.
"Are you suggesting that we have not only traveled far back in ti but entered a dream or illusion of sorts? So is this ship real or imagined?"
No matter the degree of agreent, having soone respond now was a good thing, Aike pondered Fu Qian’s answer seriously, yet found the abstraction sowhat hard to accept.
"Hard to say, I’m just speculating based on observation."
Understanding the other’s confusion, Fu Qian was unwilling to make hasty conclusions.
"And the speculation remains unchanged, this ship might have been real initially, but due to special changes or its inherent nature, it has wandered in this transcendent form for a long ti, only discovered under extrely special circumstances."
"And we, the lucky ones, happened to witness its launch, experiencing this journey through ti and space, just where exactly it crosses to is hard to determine."
Concluding, Fu Qian looked at Old Master Stoss, obviously interested in hearing his insights.
"That Long Night... a millennium ago."
And as the saying goes, good advice flows from willing lips, the consultant generously shared, the old man squinted while gazing outside the ship, uttering a few startling words.
...
The "cocoon" seed to be already pulsating slightly, as if sothing gigantic was gestating inside.
Coupled with the ark getting closer, the impression worsened.
Not to ntion the unsettling ntal shock, unwavering against personal will.
But none of this overshadowed the shock brought by Lord Stoss’s words.
That Long Night of a thousand years ago, as seasoned veterans in the Supernatural Realm, everyone present clearly had so concept of it.
And unlike the common people who viewed it as part of myth and legend, the Transcendents had a far richer imagination of the fears in it, montarily feeling like they’d stumbled into a dark epic.
And the horrific and grotesque scenes outside seed suddenly more reasonable.
Even emphasizing the possible unreality, more than one person observed closely again, eager to glimpse this historical truth.
Truly fascinating.
And Fu Qian was undoubtedly the most satisfied among them.
The wondrous scenery outside was one reason, but from the first mont he saw it, he already had a hunch about the Long Night.
Even earlier, when realizing the possible properties and origins of the ark, he had envisioned this scene.
Studying history could never compare to seeing it, finding a chance to let this ship guide him to a past view, seeing is believing.
So his satisfaction was not due to Lord Stoss’s agreent, but the convergence of ti, place, and people, making the old man finally willing to speak.
For it was the first ti hearing about that Long Night from the mouth of the Night Watchman.
Especially within the Night Watchn, Lord Stoss undeniably held a high position, likely knowing significantly more secrets than Chief Yuan.
No matter how much is said or denied, it would certainly be aningful.
...
"Specifically, you don’t need to know too much, I want to say that although perhaps it appears unreal, it might not necessarily be simply a dream or illusion."
Sure enough, the old man first emphasized not over-sharing, but the point he raised was astonishing.
"The sun and moon vanished, descending into long-lasting Darkness was one aspect, but the Long Night entailed far more than natural disasters and bloody carnage, chaos was deep and radical."
"For instance, the basic rules changed, and the boundaries between the illusory and reality blurred..."
As he spoke, Lord Stoss’s expression turned noticeably solemn, gazing at the almost touchable coast.
The latter moved increasingly vividly, ripples spreading across the water’s surface.
Rules changing, boundaries blurring?
Fu Qian fully grasped the old man’s aning, he surprisingly disagreed with the notion that what they faced could not be real.
So, in the view of the Night Watchman, such a scene could theoretically have truly occurred during the Long Night?
And no matter how devout the people were, did they lose all response from the Superior Being?
Just thinking about it reveals the horrific scale.
As for why... Is it the side effect of the fall of ancient Gods?
The symbols gone, order crumbles entirely, or is there another deeper reason?
Regardless, the Night Watchman led humanity from such circumstances to survive and ultimately watch over the light, the difficulty of which can be imagined.
"The reason for bringing this up is to say there’s no need to overcomplicate the current state, as Professor Fu said, we might just be following this ship, journeying through past historical events."
No one responded as they absorbed the information, and Lord Stoss continued to summarize, even offering guidance.
"What we need to do now, is avoid risks while seeking potential paths out, such as verifying any new changes within.
"Perhaps one needn’t worry too much about the forr, as the ship itself is of a transcendent nature, our role might simply be that of spectators—"
The old man paused, and outside the ship, the change occurred almost as if in response to his words.
Sailing directly over the giant cocoon, the ark was unhindered.
On the contrary, at that mont, the outside scene transford once more.
The previous loathso scene vanished, replaced by a towering and majestic high tower.
Solemn and magnificent, stabbing into the deep void, its sharp lines akin to a dagger threatening the blinking Star, taming its oppressiveness.
"I’ll go take a look."
As the group admired the vista, Su Gao’s voice broke the silence.
Perhaps astonishing, but she did not allow her emotions to get the better of her, imdiately taking on the second task arranged by Old Master Stoss, leaving without seeking his permission.
"I’ll help."
Watching Old Master Stoss, seemingly shaken by such reliability, Fu Qian smiled, likewise following without consent.
