Lin Feng understood everything the Grand Artificer said individually, but put together, her words did not necessarily make sense to him.
The Grand Artificer's words were not convoluted.
They simply contained a vast amount of information.
Information Lin Feng did not know.
That was why he found her words so difficult to understand.
He lacked too much information.
The Grand Artificer stood in a different position from him. As possibly one of the most powerful people in the Xia Dynasty, once she had the information, she figured out many things in an instant.
Causes, consequences, and all the clues were like beads.
An invisible thread strung them together.
They formed a single strand.
"So that's how it was."
Realization dawned on the Grand Artificer, and she gestured for the people ahead to keep moving.
She spoke only to Lin Feng.
"So that's how it was. With what you've told me, everything makes sense."
The Grand Artificer said to Lin Feng, "It's no wonder we were wiped out."
Lin Feng had thought that as long as they were prepared,
they should have enough ways to deal with what lay ahead.
But who could have known that even knowing would amount to nothing more than a "death sentence"?
It merely told them when they would die.
Nothing more.
The Grand Artificer said, "Compared with nature, we are still insignificant. Only by becoming 'inhuman' could we possibly oppose them.
"Otherwise, no matter what humans do, they cannot contend with nature.
"But nature generally bears no malice. It treats everyone equally.
"From what you've said, this part of 'nature' has been contaminated. Such things rarely happen, but they are not unheard of.
"Under these circumstances, we have no chance of survival.
"That we all died in there was only to be expected."
At that
