Chapter 105: The Real Atlantis!
Raymond pursed his lips.
He could roughly imagine it!
For example, if the average life expectancy of mankind suddenly dropped from 80 years to 16 years, then the world would instantly fall into chaos!
Even extinction was not impossible!
Whether it was education, military, culture, or any other system, they were all based on life expectancy!
If one’s lifespan was only 16 years, then humans might enter a fast-paced education and fertility at birth.
Natural evolution would also evolve to match the various abilities of a 16-year-old!
But to suddenly drop from 80 years old to 16 years old was a catastrophe for the entire race!
Mavis sighed and continued, “After that, the Morsians realized that they could no longer live on land. If they continued living, their lives would be reduced again!”
“From 1,000 years old to 200 years old, it had already reduced the number of the Morsians by more than 70%. If it continued, the Morsians might really be exterminated!”
“Therefore, the entire Morsians moved to the bottom of the sea!”
“This was also the reason why the human world heard that Atlantis was drowned by the prehistoric flood… We were not drowned, but we took the initiative to dive into the ocean!”
“After living in the depths of the ocean for hundreds of thousands of years, the average lifespan of the Morsians finally returned to around 700 years old. At this time, the first generation of the human race, who had been taught by the wise men of Morsians, had yet to stand firm on the dangerous land!”
“The wise men had always been concerned about the ancient human beings. This race, which was born with wisdom, was predicted by the wise men to be a magical race that would save the Morsians.”
“As it turned out, we were indeed right!”
Mavis looked at Raymond with a gaze that Raymond could not understand and continued.
“After that, the wise men of the Morsians pointed the way for the ancient human beings. Tribes and countries began to appear on the land.”
“About a million years ago, a sudden meteor shower destroyed everything!”
Mavis pursed his lips. She was deeply afraid of the meteor shower!
“If the Morsians were not at the bottom of the sea, our fate would have been the same as that of the ancient human race a million years ago. We would have been completely destroyed by that apocalyptic disaster!”
Raymond finally could not hold it in anymore. He interrupted Mavis’ narration and asked, “Are you saying that a million years ago, mankind already had a country?”
Mavis nodded and said, “Not only that, the country at that time even possessed technology that was even more advanced than what we have now!”
“One of the strongest countries was called the Maya!”
Raymond’s mind was blown!
The Maya civilization…
This was one of the greatest civilizations in modern times. The Maya even predicted the so-called end of the world. Of course, this prediction did not happen.
“But, didn’t the Maya civilization happen in the last few hundred years?”
Raymond noticed something wrong.
Mavis nodded and continued. “That’s right. The discovery of the Mayan civilization in the human world is indeed a matter of the recent modern era. The wise men of the Morsians have selected a batch of ‘seeds’ from the most powerful countries in the history of mankind!”
“The Mayan seeds were thrown onto the land in the last few thousand years.”
Raymond was silent for a few seconds before asking again.
“In other words, from four million years ago to the present day, mankind has never been cut off, and there has always been a brilliant civilization, right?”
Mavis nodded slightly and said softly, “That’s right! Not only that, every generation of human civilization has created technology and culture that astounds even the Morsians race!”
“Among them, about four hundred thousand years ago, there was a civilization called Lemuria. They had even stepped on Pluto! But in the end, they were still destroyed!”
Raymond pursed his lips. He felt as if he had come into contact with some incredible problems!
These long-lost civilizations had actually appeared before him alive!
Raymond’s worldview was about to be shattered…
“But, why were these civilizations destroyed?” Raymond asked in puzzlement.
Mavis’ expression instantly became serious as she spoke in a deep voice.
“This is also the reason why I brought you back to our home this time!”
“Raymond, you are the one the wise men predicted. You are the one who can save the Morsians, the one who can lead Earth’s humans to the starry skies!”
“Me? Save the Morsians?”
Raymond was momentarily speechless!
Seeing that Raymond did not speak, Mavis sighed softly and continued, “This is all I can tell you. The wise men will tell you the rest when we reach our home.”
“Next, I’ll show you the real Atlantis!”
With Mavis’ words, the cabin that carried the two of them instantly flashed out of the pitch-black pa.s.sage. A beautiful world that looked like an undersea fairyland appeared in Raymond’s eyes!
Corals formed the most important pillar that supported this world. Countless fish and strange undersea creatures swam around the corals. Huge undersea buildings slowly appeared in Raymond’s eyes!
As the cabin where the two of them were in advanced, submarine airships that appeared to be full of technology gradually appeared!
Raymond looked at them in surprise, and Mavis introduced them with a smile.
“This is Atlantis’ unique technology, an airship that can fly under the sea!”
“When the Morsian people were born, they would obtain an airship that could grow on its own. In fact, it is a special creature that we have nurtured. Similar to corals, it does not have any intelligence, but it is very tolerant of all kinds of weapons.”
“The Morsians could grow the airship according to their own ideas. The airship that we were on was a unified train that was trained by the Morsians.”
Raymond nodded. He could understand.
“The colorful belts that looked like kelp were the nutrition chambers of the Morsians. Every Morsian who returned from the land has to rest in the nutrition chambers for a week before they could regain their lifespan.”
“Otherwise, our lifespan will continue to decrease after being affected by the oxygen!”
Raymond nodded. Through the transparent outer sh.e.l.l of the nutrition chambers, he could see the Morsians people soaking inside!
They looked no different from humans, except that they were taller and more powerful.
“Mavis, do the Morsians people have any special abilities?”
Raymond suddenly asked. He was quite curious about this.
After all, this was the first alien race he had seen.
Whether he could see them again in the future was unknown.
