Observers of History, Creators of Civilization

What impact will my ideas have on the world?

For the next while, Luo Qiao silently followed behind Yao Xi, seriously considering this question he had never thought about before. As for Yao Xi, who was always walking ahead...?

After counseling her younger brother, she has been admiring Luo Qiao's achievements over the years.

By learning from history, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties.

Yao Xi had never understood the meaning of this sentence so intuitively and clearly as she did now.

In the process of rebuilding the Longbo Kingdom, Yao Xi encountered countless difficulties, all of which the previous High Priest could not solve or even understand. Especially after opening the country to the outside world, how to coordinate the relationship between outsiders and the Longbo Giants was a persistent headache for Yao Xi. Yao Xi even considered whether it would be better to completely expel the outsiders.

However, after seeing these murals and reliefs, Yao Xi never had such a thought again.

Through these murals and reliefs, Yao Xi clearly saw how the Longbo Giants rose to power and how they declined. Strong individual strength was naturally the foundation.

However, opening up to the outside world is also a necessary condition.

The Longbo Giants declined from their former glory and nearly perished because they lost access to external communication.

The only thing that Yao Xi found somewhat regrettable was that Luo Qiao only restored the murals and reliefs of the Longbo Kingdom, without any specific written records. Looking at those murals from the past, Yao Xi had no idea about the psychological state and struggles of those Longbo Giants. Therefore, no matter how vivid these murals and reliefs were, in Yao Xi's eyes they were just cold, lifeless results.

"It's such a pity that the Longbo Kingdom was so powerful back then, yet it didn't pass down its history in written form." Yao Xi sighed deeply, her voice filled with helplessness.

In contrast, consider the Great Xia, which lasted for thousands of years. It even had a clear record of what the first Witch King said in a specific year and month. Therefore, later generations could see the complete historical context of the development of the nation and civilization.

We can also understand the mindset and environment that influenced the different choices made by our ancestors.

In addition, those beings outside the orthodox "historians and shamans" also recorded the living environment of their ancestors in the form of myths, stories, and fables.

Over the years, the Great Xia naturally developed an unprecedented sense of cohesion and unity.

"Why didn't we develop a written language back then?"

After hearing Yao tide's emotion, Luo Qiao, who woke up from her deep thoughts, also sighed with emotion.

"Even the writing system we use now is the script of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"And the script in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was brought from the Great Xia by the Witch of the Huai River a thousand years ago..."

"If we trace it back to its origins, the Great Xia can definitely be considered the source of civilization in this era."

"At least before the birth of the Dao Ancestor, the Great Xia was in a league of its own. Wherever there were intelligent beings, they could not escape the influence of their culture."

This is the conclusion Luo Qiao has reached over the years through continuous excavation of historical sites and restoration of history.

"With your current abilities, you should be able to travel back in Long River of Time, right?"

After receiving Luo Qiao's affirmative nod, Yao Xi continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.

However, the content of the murals and reliefs on both sides gradually extends from the distant past to the modern era.

In particular, Luo Qiao vividly and realistically depicted the massive "Battle of the Golden Ao".

However, compared to the expressiveness of the murals and reliefs, Yao Xi noticed that after the birth of her three siblings, each mural had an additional textual description.

From the most basic dates to the decisions of the Longbo Giants, and their consequences and impacts, everything was meticulously recorded in writing. "If that's the case, why don't you add text to the reliefs and murals in front of them as well?"

"If there were specific written records, the content presented in the reliefs and murals would surely be much richer, wouldn't it?"

Faced with Yao Xi's question, Luo Qiao was taken aback for a moment before slowly shaking her head.

"The absence of a written language is also part of the history of the Longbo Kingdom."

"I am ultimately just an observer of history, not a participant in it."

"What I can see is only the surface; I can't truly empathize with those who experienced it firsthand."

"So rather than using my own ideas to make definitive judgments about the history of our predecessors, it's better to leave everything to future generations to think about." Upon hearing this, Yao Xi pointed to the murals with written records and asked.

"Then why do inscriptions appear beneath each mural starting from here?"

I couldn't help but laugh; Luo Qiao's answer this time was quite decisive.

"Because I was a witness to this history!"

"I think I might be able to leave some information for future generations besides the murals."

"In fact, I have eliminated personal bias to the greatest extent possible when recording these histories..."

"I simply described the cause and effect from an 'observer' perspective as best I could, without making any definitive conclusions." Yao Xi frowned slightly, clearly having a completely different view from Luo Qiao on this point.

"As you said, we are all witnesses to this history, so why not leave our perspective?" Turning to look at Luo Qiao again, Yao Xi could clearly see a hint of astonishment on the other's face.

"You strive for neutrality and objectivity as much as possible, and don't let your own thoughts influence other people's judgments. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that approach."

"But besides being a 'Shwitch,' you are also Longbo Giants."

"Just like when I study the history of the Longbo Kingdom, besides the specific years and events, I also want to see what the Longbo Giants were thinking and what their mindset was at that time."

"If we encounter a powerful enemy, should we fight or make peace?"

"How do we struggle internally when faced with an insurmountable crisis?"

"These are also part of history, the foundation upon which our Longbo Kingdom is built."

Yao Xi paused slightly at this point.

According to that Witch King of the Great Xia, this seems to be called "national character"?

"In his words, as a race and a group, what we leave to our descendants is not just this body, but also the spirit and will that have been passed down for thousands of years."

"This is the fundamental reason why the 'Sage-Witch' has been able to exist and continue to this day in the Great Xia."

"Historians have never been merely observers and recorders of history, but also shapers of national character."

"Going further, it's not impossible to create a powerful civilization like the Dao Ancestor did."
