81: Chapter 81 Why don't you start your explanation from the first life form underwater?

Chen Aoyun's brain was weighing options rapidly: should he expose the logic behind [Wen Yang] driving [Seven In, Seven Out]?

After thinking for just a few seconds, Chen Aoyun felt that this 'deal' was extremely worthwhile!

"Actively exposing the relationship between [Wen Yang] and [Seven In, Seven Out] is technically leaking one's own secrets, but it is also a form of deterrence!

Later, Chen Aoyun had other flashy moves regarding [Seven In, Seven Out]. By thoroughly explaining the logic of how [Wen Yang] could drive [Seven In, Seven Out] to the people of Sakura Country, breaking it down into pieces, he could not only exchange it for National Destiny but also make Sakura Country hesitant to act when facing [Seven In, Seven Out] in the future, afraid to initiate new [Judgment], killing two birds with one stone!"

Not only killing two birds with one stone, but Chen Aoyun also smirked while staring at the weights Sakura Country was placing.

Explain?

What counts as explaining the question from Sakura Country?

Just answering the most basic logic?

No!

The more he explained, the more National Destiny Sakura Country would have to pay.

Chen Aoyun intended to explain the relationship between [Wen Yang] and [Seven In, Seven Out] from the very roots of civilization!

Chen Aoyun wanted to use this opportunity, through the live broadcast, to provide a popular science lesson on the greatness of Huaxia Civilization!

Back when he first transmigrated, Chen Aoyun had already tried; he couldn't directly speak about anything related to the Old Era, couldn't directly tell the people of Dragon Country or the whole world about the bits and pieces of Huaxia Civilization, the [Endless Life] of Huaxia Civilization, or the prosperity and brilliance of Huaxia Civilization.

This was an opportunity!

The corners of his mouth curled into a familiar arc, an arc that was higher than ever before.

Seeing this wicked smile on Chen Aoyun, Zhao Hongxiu, who was beside him, knew that Sakura Country was likely about to suffer a huge loss!

Chen Aoyun cleared his throat and then said loudly, "I will blend the answers to the three questions together and explain them to you in detail. Listen well!"

"[Zhao Yun]'s 'Seven In, Seven Out' originates from 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. [Wen Yang], 'Wen Yang Charges the Camp', originates from the real historical records, 'Zizhi Tongjian'!

Why can [Zhao Yun]'s Seven In, Seven Out be driven by [Wen Yang]? That is because... the 'Seven In, Seven Out' in the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' novel is a plot written by Luo Guanzhong based on the real history of 'Wen Yang Charges the Camp' as the prototype!

One is a novel plot, the other is the prototype of the plot; when Luo Guanzhong was writing Zhao Yun's Seven In, Seven Out, the character in his mind was Wen Yang!

With such a relationship, using the same skill, there's nothing wrong with that, right!

Didn't you suspect at the beginning that [Seven In, Seven Out] was a [Legendary Technique]?

Yet after some operations, you discovered that [Seven In, Seven Out] became a [True Martial Skill]!

Zhao Yun's [Seven In, Seven Out] is content from the novel, so naturally, it is a [Legendary Technique]. And Wen Yang's [Seven In, Seven Out] is the real history of 'Wen Yang Charges the Camp', so it becoming a [True Martial Skill] is also fine, right!"

In one breath, he had almost answered all the questions from the [Strategist] of Sakura Country.

Using the story prototype from a novel to drive a skill in the novel.

Can one even operate like that?

The Will of National Destiny felt there was nothing wrong with it, so Saku Kenichi, as the [Strategist] of Sakura Country, had even less to say.

However, Saku Kenichi, having heard these explanations, looked at Chen Aoyun with extremely complex eyes, "This kid is simply a god among men!

Not only can he place Huaxia heroic spirits, but he also has a deep understanding of the history of Huaxia Civilization that exceeds that of normal people.

No matter how this person managed to do it, he must not be left alive!"

Just as Saku Kenichi was harboring evil intentions, thinking about how to make Chen Aoyun disappear in reality after this [Game of National Destiny] ended, Saku Kenichi was surprised to find that Chen Aoyun's explanation hadn't ended!

He was still rambling on!

"It's likely that not all civilizations follow the logic of interconnected fictional stories and real history.

Huaxia Civilization was the only ancient civilization in the Old Era that had never been interrupted!

Because the civilization was never interrupted, whether it's myths or novels, they all subconsciously follow certain existing history to narrate!"

"It is precisely because of the strong connection between real history and novels that, in terms of certain cultural symbols, [Wen Yang] and [Zhao Yun] are the same person!

It's not just novels; even in myths, Huaxia has similar situations.

Isn't the myth of 'Investiture of the Gods' set against the historical background of 'Zhou replacing Shang'?"

Chen Aoyun didn't care if his words counted as answering the questions from Sakura Country; he continued to popularize Huaxia Civilization, even using other civilizations as examples, saying,

"The myths of some civilizations are rotten to the core. One day the main god sleeps with his daughter, the next day he takes someone else's wife as a lover, and they even engage in intimate relations with animals.

Myths themselves are another form of civilization's narrative; the depravity of certain countries' mythical figures actually reflects the inner depravity of the private lives of that country's upper-class nobility."

"There are other civilizations whose myths and fictional stories are simply shoddily made—I'm talking about you, Curry Civilization!

The 'Mahabharata' epic in Curry Civilization describes the 'Kurukshetra War', where the death toll in one major battle was '1.6 billion'!

Holy crap, 1.6 billion people died in a war that happened BC?

The whole world combined doesn't add up to the number of deaths within your Curry Country, right?

It's precisely because of such existences that many people in the New Era are unable to associate heroic spirits of different origins with each other..."

Chen Aoyun chattered on, talking eloquently.

The earlier explanation about [Zhao Yun] and [Wen Yang] sharing a skill turned into weights that landed on the side of Dragon Country.

Although the details were substantial and the explanation was spot on, these explanations were all things Sakura Country needed to pay for with National Destiny.

That would be fine; these explanations were content Saku Kenichi needed to understand, and Saku Kenichi accepted that Chen Aoyun's words could turn into weights.

But why did Chen Aoyun's subsequent off-topic explanations also turn into weights?

Yes, that's right, Chen Aoyun's subsequent words were further expounding on the inner deep logic of the interconnection between history, novels, and myths.

But don't explain it in such detail, covering such a wide range!

You even dragged other countries' civilizations in to analyze them.

All these explanations turned into weights; how much National Destiny does Sakura Country have to pay?

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Hurry and stop, I'm satisfied with your explanation!

Don't continue!"

Chen Aoyun didn't care about that.

You say stop and it stops?

You were the one who asked the questions, and you were the one who created the 'balance beam' [The Scales].

If I don't explain it clearly to you, wouldn't it be a disservice to your humble inquiry?

Speak!

Chen Aoyun continued to speak.

Although he didn't go as far as talking about everything from the 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' to 'covering the globe', Chen Aoyun still used the questions from Sakura Country to take the endogenous nature existing between 'novels and history' as the theme, and Chen Aoyun discussed it in as much detail as a graduation thesis.

[The Scales] remained balanced throughout.

But Chen Aoyun's words kept turning into weights, and the weights on the scale pan on the side of Dragon Country were piled up like a small mountain!

Saku Kenichi looked at those mountain-like weights and was almost crying...
