Chapter 180 “Historians Talk About History”

What’s the problem? This is a big problem!!

Duncan glared at the old gentleman in front of him. However, he soon realized that Morris did not understand what the gushing flame meant or what it implicated. In fact, the old teacher most likely regarded Nina as another “transcendent being” that ran out of subspace and nothing more.

“Nina, she...” Morris sounded a little hesitant due to the worry for his student.

“Nina is different from me. She’s an ordinary person, always has.” Duncan shook his head and slowly grew severe in his expression: “She doesn’t know what is special about her. As for the flame you mentioned... that could be ‘something else’.”

“I... don’t quite understand.”Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Duncan eyed the old gent some more. Once he’s confirmed there’s no lie, he finally decides to drop the subject and go around the sun fragment. “Do you know anything about the so-called ‘real sun god’ worshiped by the Suntists?”

“Real Sun God?” Morris frowned, not knowing why the other party would suddenly lead the topic here. “Of course, there are quite a few texts about this subject. Those cultists existed for far too long, so many have tried to research this topic.”

“The true sun god is what they call their God, but the rest of us don’t call it that. We usually refer to it as the Black Sun or Dark Sun God. Actually, there’s a third name for it from some older texts by ancient scholars. They called it the Creeping Sun Wheel.”

“Creeping Sun Wheel?” Duncan raised an eyebrow. He had heard of the Black Sun, but the name “Creeping Sun Wheel” was the first time. Also, this name made him recall the incident with the sun mask – a glorious dead eyeball covered by dead limbs constantly roasted by flames.

He paused and glanced at the old gentleman opposite to him: “Do you want me to tell you what he looks like now? Maybe it will...”

Morris instantly exclaimed and cut Duncan off: “No need!”

Immediately afterward, he noticed how offensive his behavior was and quickly coughed to clear the air. “This is not a knowledge I should be exposed to.”

“...... Oh yes, apologies,” Duncan returned to his senses and quickly waved the subject off. “Then let’s not discuss this topic in the future. So, about the Black Sun faith, what achievements have they made throughout history? Have they ever succeeded anywhere after performing so much human sacrifice?”

“The Suntists caused a lot of damage. There’s no question about that. As for resurrecting the Black Sun, I can only recall a few records with wide-ranging effects.”

“The earliest records are at the end of the chaotic era. Due to the long-term accumulation of a vast number of historical legacies after the collapse of the ancient kingdom, several city-states continued to break out into fighting and famine. The Suntists took advantage of this void to create a big blood rite within a city-state called ‘Charon’. They summoned a huge fireball that hovered over the island for five full days. At the end of it all, the entire city had become one big piece of glass.”

“Another time occurred in the era of the classical era. The exact cause is no longer known, and the result was that several smaller city-states on the edge of the civilized world disappeared overnight. Witness records show huge luminous fissures in the sky, in which the Creeping Sun Wheel rose and stripped the ocean of these islands with gravitational force.”

“The most recent one occurred at the beginning of the new calendar, and it was also the strangest one because there was no evidence left of the incident. In fact, no one even remembers what exactly happened and where...”

Duncan listened with a stunned look and couldn’t resist asking for more: “No one can remember its occurrence? Then how did everyone know the Suntists were behind such a large-scale event?”

“That’s the weird part. This is already beyond the field of what most scholars could dabble in. However, my status within the Truth Academy allowed me to peer into some relevant information within the library.” Morris nodded and then made a grim face, “That event did occur. There’s no question. Because on one random morning, a message suddenly appeared on the most sacred artifact of the Flame Bearers – the ‘Chronology Pillar’.”

“The line refers to a city-state that does not exist at all, and there is only one sentence in total: Wilheim’s last message – they finally summoned the Black Sun from history. We’ve failed.”
