Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 816: Chapter 813 The Fundamental Point of Divergence

Ding… Ding Ding…

That is the sound of a god bearing history, carving sand with a stone chisel in the burned-out pages of history.

The giant sat on the ground, seemingly unresponsive to the approaching uninvited guest, still with the appearance remembered by Fenna—aged, towering, his face etched with the vicissitudes of history like grooves carved by ax and chisel, his hair and beard unruly, and his eyes hollow.

But compared to Fenna’s memory, he seemed even more aged, more stooped, and on his tattered robe, one could still see a flickering dark red glow, as if embers were still burning on his body, occasionally sending off tiny sparks with his movements, which fell on the desert, emitting brief and blurry illusions.

The giant lifted his arm again, the stone striking the chisel, the chisel falling into the loose sand, yet sparking as though metal striking stone and producing a crisp sound. However, sand ultimately cannot be carved—no marks are left in the sand, only the crisp sound of the chiseling echoing hollowly in this vast sea of sand.

Fenna stood neatly beside a sand dune, watching the familiar figure not far away, and after a brief hesitation, she finally followed the captain, tentatively taking a step forward.

Then, the giant’s deep and hoarse voice finally broke the silence, entering her ears: “Time… is an illusion imposed by Observers upon the changes of things, and history is the shadow cast by intelligent races within this illusion of time. To an intelligent Observer, all meaning is built upon the foundation of ‘humanity’… Without humans, there is no meaning.”

Fenna stopped a few meters away from the giant.
