Chapter 123: A Gap in Daxia’s History

In the cozy male dormitory of Shenhua University.

With a flash of light, Qi Sui, who was about to overdraw his mental strength, lay down on the bed again.

He took off his clothes with all his strength, and the orange sunset outside the window shone into the room, attracting his attention.

"This is... almost a day has passed?"

Qi Sui was a little stunned!

He clearly remembered that it was already night before entering the secret realm, so the sunset now was probably the next day.

"I only stayed in that piece of light curtain fragment for about two hours. Has the outside world passed so long?"

Qi Sui's heart tightened, and he immediately went to find his mobile phone.

But the date displayed on the screen made him fall into contemplation.

September 19, 2060!

It was the same day before he entered the secret realm!

"Then..."

Qi Sui looked out the window, and a thought emerged in his mind: Is this considered going back to the past?

Even if it is only going back to the past of about two hours, there are too many meanings contained in it!

But he still didn't understand why the time spent in the light curtain fragments, when placed on the timeline of the real world, not only did not increase, but decreased!

Coincidence?

Or something else?

Qi Sui, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it, and collapsed on the bed and fell into a coma.

...

Beep beep --

The vibration of the mobile phone alarm woke Qi Sui from his sleep.

After a whole night of deep sleep, the almost exhausted mental power was about to be restored.

[Mental power: 588/610]

Qi Sui didn't have the habit of sleeping in, so he quickly got up and washed, then folded the quilt, changed into loose and casual clothes and left the dormitory.

The fresh air with a slight floral scent in the cold rushed into the lungs, and the whole person was refreshed.

It was half past six in the morning.

But on the campus of Shenhua University, young male and female college students could be seen everywhere reading and studying seriously in the morning light.

Learning atmosphere is a very important indicator in evaluating whether a school is good or bad.

Today, Qi Sui did not rush to Qinglong Martial Arts University, but went straight to the library of Shenhua University.

This library, known as one of the three major library collections in Xia State, is a landmark building of Shenhua University.

It has sixteen floors.

The bookshelves on each floor are arranged in an orderly manner, with hundreds of thousands of books. Many books have turned yellow due to the years, but they are still cleaned and neatly arranged by special people.

In today's highly developed information technology, books and texts have not been eliminated.

Instead, they play an increasingly important role in certain fields.

Not far away, a girl who was arranging books saw Qi Sui pacing back and forth in front of the bookshelf, so she took the initiative to come over and ask: "This... classmate? Are you looking for a book?"

Lin Huiya is a sophomore.

In order to work and study, as early as when she first entered college, she worked part-time as a library book keeper.

"Yes!"

Qi Sui was flipping through the floor plan of the library.

Seeing someone offering to help, his eyes lit up slightly.

Lin Huiya smiled and said, "Excuse me, what kind of books do you need? I'm the bookkeeper here, maybe I can help."

"Chemistry Department, do you know where it is?" Qi Sui asked.

"So you are a student of the Chemistry Department. The professional books in this field are in the southwest corner of this floor. I'll take you there!"

With Lin Huiya's guidance, everything became much smoother.

Under the girl's recommendation, Qi Sui simply selected two very professional books.

"The Performance Foundation and Processing Manual of Secret Realm Minerals"

"Summary of Experimental Reports of Advanced Chemical Researchers"

The two books are very thick, both around a thousand pages, enough to read for a while.

Qi Sui wants to advance his career [Chemical Researcher] to an advanced level as soon as possible.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, please go to the door to register for borrowing." Lin Huiya pointed to the location.

"Wait, I want to find some history books."

"History?"

Lin Huiya showed a surprised expression: "In today's era, everyone is pursuing the future and exploring the progress of scientific and technological revolution, but not many people are willing to study history."

The girl's words are true.

The status of history in today's society is far less important than computers, mechas, materials, and intelligent prosthetics.

Many universities have even eliminated the history department.

As for Shenhua University, although the history department is still retained, it has long been in decline and is the major with the lowest admission score among many disciplines.

"It's just a little bit of a hobby!" Qi Sui's eyes were clear.

"You finally asked the right person, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm a sophomore in the history department of our school. If you don't mind, we can add each other as friends and discuss with each other!"

Lin Huiya looked at Qi Sui with a little more intimacy.

It was like meeting a like-minded friend.

"Sure, it's my honor. A layman in history like me will inevitably bother you more in the future!" Qi Sui showed a simple and innocent smile.

"So you are a freshman, no wonder I always feel unfamiliar with you. Senior sister, don't be afraid of being disturbed. As long as it is a question related to history, you are welcome to bother me at any time!"

Lin Huiya covered her mouth and smiled, then took Qi Sui down the spiral staircase.

Finally came to the third underground floor.

Compared with the upper floors, it seems much quieter here. There are almost no students. There are few books on the bookshelves, and the books are estimated to be around tens of thousands.

"This floor is full of history books. Which period of history are you more interested in? I will take you to find it!"

"These books are a bit too few!" Qi Sui showed a puzzled expression.

History is a large category after all, and it has been passed down and accumulated over the years. How come there are only tens of thousands of books placed here like waste?

"No way, maybe you don't know much. Although our Great Xia has a long history that can be traced back tens of thousands of years, it has always been plagued by disasters and has experienced several historical faults."

Speaking of this, Lin Huiya sighed and showed a helpless expression: "Many books were buried in the catastrophe of history, so only these have been preserved, and many of them are missing."

"It's a pity. The more I study in the field of history, the more I can appreciate those glorious and epic years. The heroes and heroes, without them, the Great Xia civilization would not be passed down to this day."

"..."

When it comes to professional knowledge, Lin Huiya's slightly introverted personality also opens up directly.

Qi Sui stood aside and listened quietly.

The history of the Xia Kingdom is very long, but generally speaking, it can actually be divided into four stages.

The first stage is the ancient era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

The second stage is the Warring States era when heroes compete for hegemony.

The third stage is the era of the gods who descended and wanted to rule mankind.

And today, humans break the shackles of genes, pursue the path of transcendence through martial arts, let the gods end, and the demons hide in a panic.

Qi Sui's desire to study history books is not a whim.

As early as that day when he was pulled into the spiritual environment by the God of Flesh and Blood, he had doubts about the existence and origin of the Second Source Pool, the so-called gods, or the demons and secret realms.

When did they appear?

Where did they originate?

Perhaps, only by peeking into history can we discover some truths hidden in the fog and the tragic historical fault.
