Chapter 55 The History of Other Worlds
Xiao Li looked at Cheng Yuan and asked with great sincerity, "Could Your Excellency the Supreme Ruler tell me the reason for this?"
Cheng Yuan naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Li the real reason. He said, "Miss Xiao Li, we are also looking for the reason. However, we can share some of our findings with you."
"In the worlds we've visited, we've discovered similar people and things, such as Her Highness the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Xunzi, Qin Shi Huang, Han Fei; Li Si..."
Upon hearing the words "Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden," both Xiao Li and Pixiu's expressions changed.
Goddesses don't only exist in their world; they exist in other worlds as well.
When Cheng Yuan mentioned "the Yellow Emperor of this world," Xiao Li had already made a guess about it, but now Cheng Yuan had confirmed it directly.
Cheng Yuan continued, "In those worlds, there are also legends about the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but she is not a creator deity; Master Xun is still a great Confucian scholar, but he does not know martial arts; Han Fei is still a disciple of Master Xun, but he is not the son of King An of Han; Ying Zheng is the King of Qin, who later destroyed the six states and unified the world, becoming Qin Shi Huang, and Li Si was his prime minister."
Xiao Li asked curiously, "Who created these worlds? What are the goddesses like in the legends of these worlds?"
Cheng Yuan shook his head and smiled, "We don't know who created these worlds either; that's an answer we're currently searching for. As for the legend of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, we can share it with Miss Xiao Li later."
"Then I, Xiao Li, will accept your offer without hesitation. Thank you, Your Excellency Supreme Ruler."
After thanking Cheng Yuan, Xiao Li asked, "Your Excellency the Supreme Ruler said that Ying Zheng would destroy the six states and unify the world, becoming Qin Shi Huang. Is this the later history of those worlds?"
"Would our world have continued to develop the same way if you hadn't come into being?"
Cheng Yuandao said, "It is very likely that so. Ying Zheng in this world is a king of great talent and ambition. If he successfully takes power, the Qin state, under his leadership, will be able to build on the achievements of six generations and destroy the six other states to unify the world."
"Anyway, in the worlds we've visited, those Qin Shi Huangs did indeed achieve that."
Xiao Li and the Pixiu she was holding remained silent. Although they were from different worlds, similar characters and similar development trajectories had appeared. The tearful girl and the beast felt as if a great hand was intentionally controlling and arranging everything.
If so, was the divine message the goddess gave her truly given by the goddess?
Is the goddess's current state also related to this mysterious force?
Cheng Yuan's words were all true; he did not deceive Xiao Li. He simply did not tell her all the information.
This will cause Xiao Li to hear the truth, but the result she pieces together will be distorted.
This was also Cheng Yuan's intention, to guide Xiao Li to think in these directions, so that he could pull Xiao Li onto the warship.
This made Xiao Li think that there was an unknown and unpredictable being overlooking all the heavens and the myriad worlds, and that only by having a common goal could the two sides start to cooperate.
After a long silence, Xiao Li said, "Your Excellency Supreme Ruler, may I have the opportunity to see the history of other worlds?"
"There is nothing wrong with that."
As soon as Cheng finished speaking, dozens of books appeared in front of Xiao Li and Pixiu.
These books were all projected. Xiao Li glanced at them and saw: Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Han, Book of the Later Han Dynasty, History of Ming, History of Qing, Modern History, and World History.
For an ordinary person, it would take a considerable amount of time to read all these books. For example, the History of Song Dynasty consists of 496 volumes, including 47 volumes of annals, 162 volumes of treatises, 32 volumes of tables, and 255 volumes of biographies, totaling more than five million words.
Even for online novel readers who can read ten lines at a glance, it would take five days to read a million words a day.
But Xiao Li wasn't human at all; she simply opened all the books and started reading them all at once.
The text in the book is Trisolaran script, but it did not pose any obstacle for Xiao Li. On her way from the Western Regions, she went to a school built by the Trisolaran civilization in the Qin Dynasty plane and learned the Trisolaran script.
Watching Xiao Li read so many books so quickly at the same time, Cheng Yuan was very envious. He wished he had such a strong learning ability.
Although he is now the supreme ruler of the Trisolaran civilization, and the entire Trisolaran civilization listens to him, he is well aware that he is still an ordinary person with limited learning ability, limited memory, limited thinking speed, and limited knowledge.
The amount of knowledge he actually possesses is less than that of a newborn Trisolaran.
If this situation continues for a long time, it will inevitably cause harm. A person with insufficient knowledge and wisdom is not qualified to lead an interstellar civilization.
The current Trisolaran civilization listens to him, and the governors respect him greatly. But when the governors gradually discover that he, sitting in the position of supreme governor, is just an incompetent fool who, apart from opening multidimensional portals, has no wisdom or knowledge that matches the civilization, will they still respect him as much as they do now?
Cheng Yuan naturally wanted to change this situation, so he worked hard to learn all kinds of knowledge in the Trisolaran civilization. Unfortunately, his brain was only that of an ordinary person, so he learned very slowly.
The Trisolaran civilization possesses far more knowledge than Earth in 2026, and in 2026, how many people can become PhDs at top universities?
Even the PhDs from these top universities, and even the national academicians, have far less knowledge than the Trisolarans.
Although Cheng Yuan's identity in the Trisolaran civilization is that of the supreme ruler, his level of knowledge is like that of a mouse mixed in with a group of Titans.
If this situation doesn't change, when others talk about the non-conservation of parity, he'll just keep babbling; when others talk about unified field theory, he'll just keep babbling.
Not to mention surpassing the scientists of the Trisolarans, at least be able to understand what they are saying.
Otherwise, he would become like some emperors in ancient times, easily deceived and misled, because he might not even understand other people's translations or explanations.
This was also a personal reason why Cheng Yuan wanted the Trisolaran civilization to develop life science and psionic technology: he had to find a way to improve himself, to have a stronger learning ability, and to acquire more knowledge in order to secure his position as the supreme ruler.
The terrifying learning ability that Xiao Li displayed was exactly what Cheng Yuan wanted to achieve. With this ability, he could learn all the existing knowledge of the Trisolaran civilization in a short period of time.
In the security conference room at LV-223, watching Xiao Li rapidly read through all the books, a governor said to Cheng Yuan, "Your Excellency Supreme Governor, I finally understand why you said that a world with extraordinary powers would have a greater advantage."
If all beings in the extraordinary world possessed such terrifying learning abilities as this Goddess's Tear, that would be horrifying!
The Scientific Governor said solemnly, "Your Excellency, we cannot open our knowledge base to this Tear of the Goddess, otherwise, given the speed at which she has learned, she will soon have absorbed all of our knowledge."
Whether one understands the knowledge learned or can use it is one thing, but judging from the current situation, this Goddess's Tear is capable of memorizing all the knowledge of their civilization.
The psychic governor said, "If she gains access to all our knowledge, and if she were to control the body of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, we might not be able to fight her."
