292: Chapter 292: Did Nuwa mend the sky by patching up the sea?

Jiang Zhe's words caused the brows of countless viewers to furrow even deeper.

"Wait, let me wrap my head around this. The current questions are: 1. Is Atlantis in Antarctica or underground? 2. What does 'Nüwa Mending the Heavens' have to do with the hollow earth theory?"

"Exactly. He just mentioned Nüwa Mending the Heavens. How does that connect to the hollow earth theory?"

"Isn't Nüwa Mending the Heavens just a myth?"

"Myths can also be history. Didn't he say that before?"

"So, is Nüwa Mending the Heavens real? The sky collapsed? How can the sky collapse?"

"Let's wait for his explanation. I'm already prepared for my scalp to go numb."

"..."

Gusu High School, Principal's Office.

Professor Wang Shouren and Xiao Wang looked at each other, both seeing curiosity in the other's eyes.

Professor Wang Shouren couldn't help but say, "The hollow earth theory can explain not only Atlantis but also Nüwa Mending the Heavens? I really want to hear this."

Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly. "Nüwa Mending the Heavens is one of our country's oldest myths. If it can be linked to the hollow earth theory, that would be quite inconceivable."

Professor Chen Runzhi took a deep breath. "Nüwa Mending the Heavens and the hollow earth theory... that's a fresh perspective."

Qian Mingyi couldn't help but ask, "Can myths and history be mixed like this?"

Professor Liu Guangyi smiled and said, "Old Qian, Jiang Zhe's previous talks on the moon and the Great Flood—weren't they all supported by evidence found in myths? In the end, they actually matched the scientific evidence we are studying now. There's no harm in listening."

Professor Wang Shouren's gaze fell on the large screen, his expression growing more curious. "I'm curious to see how exactly this 'sky' was patched."

On the screen, Xiao Yu held her breath and asked impatiently.

"Brother, between Atlantis and Nüwa Mending the Heavens, I want to hear about Nüwa Mending the Heavens under the hollow earth theory first, and then the final location of Atlantis!"

Jiang Zhe grinned. "I knew you'd be interested in this."

"Let's talk about Nüwa Mending the Heavens first."

"According to the myth, Gonggong crashed into Mount Buzhou in a fit of rage, causing the pillar of heaven to break. A huge hole opened in the sky, and heavenly water poured down, causing floods in the human world. Finally, Nuwa collected Five-colored stones to patch the sky, stopping the deluge."

Xiao Yu nodded. "I know this part."

In the next moment, Jiang Zhe's tone suddenly shifted. "But think about it carefully—is this explanation scientific?"

"It doesn't seem scientific, but it also doesn't seem like pure fantasy?"

Jiang Zhe didn't say anything directly, but continued to explain: "The 'sky' the ancients spoke of usually refers to the sky above our heads, which is the atmosphere."

"If the atmosphere collapsed, what would happen?"

"It wouldn't leak water. Because the atmosphere is gas, even if there were a hole, it wouldn't pour water down like a faucet. Instead, it would cause disasters on Earth, like the ozone hole that was so popular a few years ago but hasn't been mentioned much recently."

"Furthermore, if the 'sky' was the moon—and I did mention that possibility before, that the capture of the moon caused the Great Flood—no matter how foolish the ancients were, they saw the moon in the sky. They wouldn't mistake the moon for the sky itself. After all, the clouds float below the moon, right?"

Xiao Yu was engrossed and nodded repeatedly. "Then what exactly did Nuwa patch?"

The corners of Jiang Zhe's mouth curled slightly. Seeing this expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but lean back. Every time she saw him look like that, she knew he was about to drop a bombshell.

"However, if you explain it with the hollow earth theory, everything makes sense."

He nodded slightly, his gaze gradually deepening. "Xiao Yu, imagine this: what if the 'sky' in the Nuwa myth wasn't the sky above our heads?"

"If it's not the sky above us, then what could it be?"

Jiang Zhe didn't answer immediately but continued to guide her. "What if Mount Buzhou was a mountain in an underground world? What if Nuwa was a person living underground?"

As those words fell, Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly constricted.

Her brother's voice had an inexplicable magic to it, making her scalp tighten and her expression turn exceptionally serious.

"If Nuwa and her people were all underground dwellers, then when they said the 'sky' collapsed, what exactly collapsed?"

"And where would the sky collapse in such a way that a massive amount of water would leak down?"

After saying this, he stopped talking.

This question immediately rendered Xiao Yu silent.

Xiao Yu stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock.

At this time, in the Principal's Office of Gusu High School.

Professor Wang Shouren stood up suddenly, his mouth wide open in shock. "The sky of the underground world... wouldn't that be...?"

Xiao Wang couldn't help but gasp, the expression on his face becoming even more horrified.

Huaqing University, Physics Professor's Dormitory.

Ouyang Baili stood up suddenly, his eyes bright and his scalp tingling. "Holy shit, what he's trying to say is!!!"

Li Mo's hands trembled as he searched for data, his mouth hanging open as an inexplicable chill ran down his spine.

Professor Wu looked even more incredulous, while Guan Jingming took a deep breath, a flash of horror in his eyes. "Damn!"

Kyoto, University of History Faculty Housing.

Professor Chen Runzhi and the others all stood up, their expressions shifting from doubt to absolute shock.

On the other side, in Kyoto, Qingfeng Temple.

Zheng Ming's face turned pale instantly. "Impossible, that's absolutely impossible!"

Jin Xianmeng stared at the screen as if he had lost his soul. He had previously thought Xiao Yu's Brother just liked telling bedtime stories.

He didn't expect a single point in this story to be so shocking that even he was stunned.

Celestial Master Zhang, however, was full of smiles. "Hahaha, brilliant! Simply brilliant!"

After a long while, on the large screen.

Xiao Yu's mechanical body trembled slightly, her eyes quivering as she uttered a few words with disbelief, "The sea... the sea... the sea!"

She suddenly looked at Jiang Zhe. "Brother, could it be... the sea?!"

Jiang Zhe's mouth curled slightly as he gave a silent nod.

At this moment, the fragments in Xiao Yu's mind collided violently.

Beneath the sea!

If the sky of the underground world collapsed, the only thing that could leak down would be seawater!

If an underground world truly exists, if it is right beneath our feet, and if its sky is the bottom layer of the Earth's crust, then once the crust ruptures, the seawater above would pour down frantically!

And that ruptured place, in mythology, is called [Mount Buzhou].

No, Mount Buzhou was the pillar connecting heaven and earth!

At this thought, Xiao Yu's nose suddenly felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Nüwa Mending the Heavens... she wasn't patching the sky above our heads. She was patching the sky of their underground world!"

"Mount Buzhou was the pillar between the surface world and the underground world. Gonggong smashed it, causing the sky of the underground world to collapse, and seawater poured in through the rift!"

"That was exactly the time of the global Great Flood. The seawater poured in violently, and the whole world was flooding!"

"So Nüwa Mending the Heavens was actually patching the rifts in the Earth's crust. She used the Five-colored stones to plug those rifts and stop the seawater from continuing to flood the underground world!"

Having said this in one breath, Xiao Yu was completely stunned.

Never had there been a logical deduction that could explain such a wild idea so perfectly.

Was this really just a random thought of her brother's, or was it the truth?

For a long time, the bullet comments in the livestream surged frantically, exploding like a tsunami.

"Damn, what kind of god-tier idea is this?"

"Nuwa was patching the Earth's crust??"

"So the 'sky' in the myth is the sky of the underground world, which is the crust beneath our feet!"

"Then the ground we are stepping on right now is the sky for the underground people?"

"Holy shit, yeah! If the Earth is hollow, then the crust is the sky of the underground world. The sky collapsing means the crust cracked!"

"Seawater pouring into the underground world... isn't that another explanation for the Great Flood?"

"My scalp is tingling, it's really tingling!"

"So Nuwa was an underground person, and Atlantis was also an underground civilization?"

"Then that meteorite in Chelyabinsk—could it really be that underground people flew out in a UFO to intercept it?"

"Damn, the more he says, the more reasonable it sounds. If that big meteorite hit Chelyabinsk, the seismic waves would definitely affect the underground world. They weren't saving the people of Chelyabinsk; they were making sure the meteorite didn't fall on the heads of the underground people!"

"The person above... that's an incredible and fresh angle!"

"Are they still alive now? Underground?"

"Damn, this isn't a myth anymore; this is history!"

"..."

In an instant, Jiang Zhe's ideas caused millions of bullet comments to explode, with no sign of stopping.
