Chapter 203: Feeling (II)
Transforming a drop of golden blood, Fang Xin's absorption and transformation speed will be accelerated. On the second day of the team's march, Fang Xin condensed a drop of golden blood, which increased one after another.
However, the entire body has about five million drops of blood, which is a long journey.
Anya World, why is it slowly falling, Fang Xin has been thinking.
If the Spiritual Sense were to take advantage of the moment to fly in the sky, it would see dense rainforests, and swamps and miremires one after another, and hundreds of city-states dotted around the world.
After his arrival, Fang Xin learned that the Anya civilization was not a peace-loving civilization as the legend suggests.
This civilization, and . The so-called Indian civilization is very much connected, and may even be a branch, but without exception, they are all full of blood sacrifices.
Blood sacrifices were early for humans and gods. Almost all civilizations and gods (except for the birth of the Hereafter) have this process, which should not be the main cause of the Fall, although the factors in it are all too frequent now.
Caravans, too. There is a lot of information, Fang Xin slowly sorted it out.
The entire city-state society, which is said to have been built around the sons and daughters of the sun god at the beginning, could not change the increase in the number of members of the royal family - so the royal brothers except the eldest son were excluded.
Some princes left their homes. to find and build new cities, so city-states emerged, while the rest stayed to fight for inheritance.
As if allowed by God, the whole city-state world was fighting each other, and it was a kind of war that Fang Xin could not understand - the army attacked other cities, although it also had the purpose of plundering wealth, but the main thing was to capture the captives and give them to the priests as a sacrifice to the gods.
It's both thorough and incomplete. Bottom. Not thoroughly. That is, to seize part of the population and go back to worship. Thoroughly. It's the complete destruction of the city. The Victors held a "closing ceremony". smashed thrones, temples, carvings. And they killed all the people of the city and sacrificed them.
Then retreat. Let the city be deserted. Let the grass and trees climb the stone steps and windowsills. Young trees sprout and grow in the cracks of the bricks. The rattan is so thick that it cracks the stones—maybe years later. And there was another prince. With a group of people. On top of the ruins, a new city was built. Start a new land reincarnation.
Rather than conquering territory and administering it in a Chinese way. Or colonize in the Western style.
It's completely inexplicably suicidal civilization. Regularly eliminate each other's development potential. Suicide here refers to the stifling of civilized development.
Fang Xin realized. But. Perhaps this is not the last resort.
But. Even so. The air is still very fresh. When Fang Xin accumulated the seventh drop of golden blood. The caravan was within control of the city of Tasha.
After walking along a riverside road, after seven or eight kilometers, you can see the outline of the city.
Tarsha City is one of the three main cities in the city-state here, the city area is more than 50 square kilometers, the inhabitants of the city (freemen and above), the number of people reaches 5, the city ** has 30 pyramids, almost the world's main gods, there are offerings here, and there are 200 altars, which are small gods, and even some demigods are worshipped.
The city of Tarsa controlled a fertile area within 100 miles of the vicinity, with an ancient central square as its core, stone avenues connecting the large pyramidal temples and the royal palace with its reliefs.
Of course, these were all the information that Fang Xin slowly asked, after all, the people of this world didn't know the situation in other cities, and it was very normal, and no one would have any questions.
Along the way, the caravan was respectful to each other, which was the result of seeing his strength - now Fang Xin had put on three feathers.
According to the extraordinary record of almost killing thirty warriors by one person last time, it was okay to wear five feathers, but due to the misunderstanding that Fang Xin used the power of the spider god to achieve this effect, Fang Xin only wore three, and everyone agreed.
Speaking of which, in Fang Xin's feelings, the spider god Luct has fallen, but the humans in this world don't know - perhaps because of weakness, the gods here often fall into a deep sleep, usually for decades or hundreds of years and lose contact with the priests, which is also a very normal thing.
Along the way, you can see the samurai supervising the slaves to work at any time, Fang Xin's eyes swept over, but he scanned the situation of these fields one by one and remembered them in his heart.
"It's here, it's here, it's finally in Tasha City." When he reached the gates, Vic said happily.
His caravan, which seemed to be very familiar, said a few words, and the group went directly into the city.
The city is indeed magnificent, but after a month of thinking, Fang Xin gradually understood the reason.
Although the Anya civilization was an urban civilization, like any civilization of this era, it was built on the foundation of agriculture.
Just what I saw along the way, maybe the slaves were not motivated, maybe the warriors and priests were too attached to the divine will, and as a result, tens of thousands of years, agricultural technology
The slightest improvement.
This is a very primitive farming method: they cut down all the trees, dry them for a while, and then set them on fire before the rainy season arrives, and use plant ash as fertilizer to cover the barren rainforest soil. Burn one stubble at a time, and then fallow for 1-3 years, and in some places even up to 6 years, and then burn and replant after the grass and trees grow relatively lush.
When the population increases greatly, the pressure on agriculture increases, which forms a vicious circle, so the Anya civilization has an objective basis for blood sacrifice - through blood sacrifice, the population sacrifice beyond the scope is automatically eliminated.
This is quite an interesting approach, not to improve agricultural technology and produce more food, but to automatically wipe out the population - on Earth, or in most of the Eastern civilizations, there is also the problem of overcrowding land and agriculture, which will produce regular dynastic changes to wipe out the population.
However, through blood sacrifices, the gods not only gained faith, but also blood food, so they also connived at this kind of behavior, and made it difficult to progress except for the techniques related to the gods.
And, in theocracy. Under the political system, all the "signs of decay" are attributed to God's dissatisfaction. They built more temples and prayed more frequently and ceremoniously, hoping to turn things around with divine power—a never-ending demand that even the gods of the highest could afford, of course.
The result of this is a waste. More manpower and already scarce resources, both gods and humans, until they fall into an incorrigible vicious circle and collapse.
Anya Classics. It can be said that in the same era, it was a highly developed civilization, but without exception, it collapsed completely, and naturally there were inevitable reasons for its collapse.
The earth world is still the main world, and Anya's descendants may exist, but as the main body of civilization, they have long disappeared into history.
In representing this universe. In the main world of the strongest civilization in space, there is no Anya civilization, and it has lost its strength to move forward, so it is natural that this world is gradually decaying and falling!.
The Overworld and Self-Evolution
Fang Xin had a flash of inspiration. I have already roughly guessed the relationship between the worlds and the main world, the mainstream civilization and the lost civilization, and the relationship between the two, no wonder this world is so decaying!
It turns out that everything is just too mature.
The Greek civilization, which was a precocious civilization, died out as a result, but fortunately there was still a lot of culture left.
The Chinese civilization, also a precocious civilization, far surpassed its contemporaries, establishing an almost unprecedented vast empire and effectively ruling it.
This is the precocious civilization, and the precocious civilization, without exception, loses the potential for development
Greece doesn't talk about it, just talk about the Chinese civilization, taking Dafan as an example, if there is no Fang Xin's interference, it is very likely that after a thousand or two thousand years, it will still be a three-hundred-year dynastic cycle and cannot break through.
And the factor of the gods has a huge impact.
In countless civilizations, the gods have played a driving role, and many inventions have been taught by the gods, often making them precocious, but over time, especially in theocratic societies, the reaction of the gods has also increased.
For example, many aspects of the Anya civilization, such as construction, were at the highest level in the world at the time due to their association with the gods, and they were able to carve and polish solid stones. Through long-term observation of celestial phenomena, we have mastered the solar eclipse cycle and the movement laws of the sun, moon and Venus. Carvings, faience and murals all have high artistic value.
Mathematics adopts the decimal system, discovers and uses the concept of "zero", and masteries a high degree of mathematical and astronomical calendar knowledge.
The Anya civilization is ancient and mysterious, but because of this, many aspects, especially the key points of social breakthroughs, are precocious, so that they cannot germinate and develop.
From this point of view, Fang Xin suddenly realized.
In fact, how different are the travelers of the main world from the gods?
Otherwise, that world will lose its own civilization and be completely assimilated by the main world, which is called the assimilation and aggression of the higher civilization.
Otherwise, the technology and culture provided by the traversers and gods have promoted society for a while, but in turn, they have become the biggest obstacle to the development of society in the future.
In a thought, the process of humanity is clearer again, in the pearl of the world, the world is clear, everything is a thing, life is according to its share, the Tao belonging to Fang Xin is becoming clearer and clearer, as if it can be broken by reaching out.
Endless growth lies in the self-use of things.
The context of this world is already dancing in the palm of your hand, but you can see it clearly.
At this moment, Fang Xin's aura that he had felt a month ago came back to him.
It seems to be hostile, it seems to be welcome, it seems to be urging.
Fang Xin's eyes were like water, turning a blind eye to this, and as the caravan moved forward in the city, in front of him was the pyramid of the gods.
