I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3237: Chapter 3229: Terrifying Upon Careful Thought

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Tao Cheng’s eyes lit up.

"You mean to say that elsewhere, there might also be places related to Tilia Island that have been efficiently utilized by them?"

"That’s right, this is also what I’ve been pondering over for a long time," Lin Yi said:

"For so many years, even though we haven’t stopped making progress on Tilia Island, the information we have is too limited. But if someone were to grasp this information in such a manner, it would be extremely disadvantageous to us, and even to the whole world."

Hiss—

The two shivered.

Suddenly, a cold gust of wind blew by, giving them goosebumps all over.

The science from Tilia Island, to some extent, has already reached a sensational level.

The reason every country is competing for it is that if they can obtain the technology of Tilia Island, they have the potential to conquer the world.

Those mysterious technological powers even possess the ability to reverse the heavens!

They can allow a small country or a small force to rise in an instant.

But for many, the technology of Tilia Island is too mysterious, and even if they obtain it, they don’t know how to decipher and use it.

That’s the problem faced by the Central Guards Brigade.

However, once someone discovers a similar place and deciphers the texts and information in advance, it will bring infinite disaster to the world.

Phew—

Liu Hong took a deep breath.

"I previously thought such a discovery was a great advantage for us, but seeing it now, I’d rather the news be false."

"Actually, even if it’s false, it can’t stop the possibility that Lin Yi mentioned from happening," Tao Cheng said:

"If it was discovered in our territory, it can naturally be discovered in other places as well."

After pausing for a moment, Tao Cheng continued:

"Moreover, I don’t think such things can happen without cause. The text of Tilia Island is so complex that it’s unlikely to be coincidental, but we shouldn’t be so pessimistic. Perhaps the reality isn’t as bad as we think."

Liu Hong looked at Tao Cheng, wanting to hear his thoughts.

"The civilization of Tilia Island is not so easily decipherable, and that’s a key factor," Tao Cheng said:

"Even though we are putting a whole nation’s effort into it, the progress is so slow that other forces will surely be slower. At least, for now, the whole world is safe."

"I initially thought the same," Lin Yi said:

"And there’s one more thing we might have overlooked."

The two looked at Lin Yi, waiting for him to continue.

"Let’s broaden our minds and think about this matter expansively," Lin Yi said:

"The things in the Bronze Tomb, we found something similar on the island, but it was discovered in the middle part, meaning a group of people had already reached there long ago.

"In other words, they might have even crossed the 无人 area and reached the core area."

The two nodded in agreement with Lin Yi’s statement, acknowledging the possibility.

"Go on."

"According to previous investigations, among these people, there might have been Daoist ancestor Zhang Daoling. After visiting it, he replicated those bronze wares, preserving them to this day."

"So the situation over on the Primitive Tribe’s side might be similar to ours, but their ancestors left behind text, which has been passed down to today," Tao Cheng said:

"And in other places, there might be such possibilities too, we just don’t know where they are or if someone has already utilized them."

"This is a possibility we analyzed before, but within this, there’s another possibility," Lin Yi said:

"When the Bronze Tomb was discovered, I didn’t think of this, but the Primitive Tribe event this time made me realize another possibility, one that’s even more terrifying."

"Hold on a second, I need a cigarette to calm down."

Liu Hong walked to the window, opened it, lit a cigarette, and continued:

"The social progress of the Primitive Tribe is very low, so their utilization of these things is less, but can you guarantee that other places are the same?"

"This was previously discussed. After they discover it, they will make use of it, resembling a terrifying force, but how much they can utilize is unknown, and the research progress won’t be fast either," Tao Cheng said.

"No, this is just the best-case scenario among them. We shouldn’t be confined by our inherent thinking; we need to expand our thinking," Lin Yi said:

"Who can guarantee that all the information scattered around the world is necessarily discovered?"

"Hmm?"

The two were puzzled by Lin Yi’s words.

They didn’t understand what he meant.

"Inheritance!"

"Inheritance?" they both said simultaneously.

"We can think of this matter as akin to the ancient sects or those large financial clans," Lin Yi said:

"In this matter, one thing is certain: whether past or present, those who can go to the island are high-class individuals in society, who grasp and control more social resources, thus having the ability to slowly pass down what they’ve discovered and know."

"Imagine a powerful and influential person obtaining information and treasures from Tilia Island. Would he let these things be buried with him? The answer is obviously no; he would ensure it gets passed down to his descendants, generation by generation," Lin Yi said:

"Zhang Daoling was a figure from over a thousand years ago, meaning information and secrets about the island might have been in the hands of a prominent family or organization, being passed down for millennia."

"With such a long timeframe, do you think the utilization rate would be low?"

Hiss—

After hearing Lin Yi’s explanation, both took a sharp breath.

This news was too terrifying and shocking to swallow all at once.

If this hypothesis is valid, then there might truly be an invisible hand in the world, stirring up chaos.

"Such a thing might really be possible," Tao Cheng said:

"Zhang Daoling is the founder of Daoism, which has been passed down for thousands of years. Perhaps many theoretical things and certain so-called cultivation methods came from Tilia Island. We just didn’t use it wisely, and after being modified across generations, they have become unrecognizable. This is what Lin Yi refers to as inheritance."

"Upon bringing those things back, influenced by the culture of his own country, Zhang Daoling didn’t perceive those things as useful, so he left little in terms of documentation. He focused all his energy on replicating the bronze wares and creating an eternal Earth Tomb for himself," Lin Yi said:

"But people from other countries emphasize familial inheritance more, so Tilia Island’s technology might have been utilized by them very early on!"
