Chapter 382: The Complete History!
"Oh? Pirate King? That guy Roger actually succeeded!?"
"Four Emperor, that boy Kaido indeed didn't join Linlin's pirate crew!"
"Is that so, Teach actually..."
Five hours is very short, not enough for Roy to recount everything that happened after he came to this world.
But five hours is also very long, at least enough for Roy to tell Rocks the general situation of the sea thirty years later, as well as some key events.
"Gulp gulp... Hic!"
And at this time, as the fine wine in the jug gradually bottomed out, Rocks put down his wine bowl and let out a loud hiccup.
"Sounds like a very interesting era."
"I thought you would be a bit more sad or angry, or want to change destiny."
Hearing this, Roy similarly casually placed his wine cup on the ground: "Your son died by my hands..."
In the story he told, he naturally didn't hide much about Harald and what happened in Elbaf earlier—after all, Rocks didn't know many people in the era thirty years later.
But what surprised him was that Rocks didn't seem to have much anger towards this.
"Ah, Teach became a pirate out of his own will and ambition. Since he made the choice, no matter what kind of ending it is, it is the 'choice' he deserves."
He sighed.
Yes.
Just as he said in the past—freedom is irreplaceable.
Just like how he left God's Valley back then, choosing to become a pirate on the sea under the name "Rocks D. Xebec".
Whether ultimately dying in God's Valley, or the tragic death of his family, he is heartbroken by it, but he won't regret it.
Good or evil, despicable or noble, ambition or dream, death or reaching the peak.
This sea can accommodate all endings—once a choice is made, others have no right to interfere.
Even if he is Teach's father, he has no right to interfere with another person's "freedom".
The so-called pirate is such a creature.
Just like Rocks himself—after leaving here, he will still go to the Lulusia Kingdom to visit his wife and daughter, and will still tell his wife about the existence of Star Lord and his miraculous power.
Rocks hates the so-called "destiny" the most, but he respects the freedom of others.
Teach's future choice belongs to himself.
"Enough small talk, then... let's talk about the 'Abyss'."
And at this time, Rocks also changed the subject, turning to the main topic.
Roy nodded. He came exactly for this.
To this day, all the secrets of this world are almost completely visible in front of him, leaving only a few fragments.
And now he has come to Rocks to complete the final part of those fragments from the mouth of this ancient "Davy".
And Rocks didn't hide anything either, beginning to recount the story passed down within the D Clan since eight hundred years ago... about the beginning of the world.
"The world was originally just a barren wasteland."
"All living creatures in the world came from gods descending from the sky—they came from the moon, bringing the 'Pillar of Creation' that created everything."
That was the true beginning, the first change in this world.
Those were the "People of the Moon", the first "Gods" of this world.
They possessed an extraordinary level of technology, unbelievable even in today's era.
They roamed the starry sea, occupying various planets.
Their bodies could adapt to any environment, possessing extraordinary vitality.
But in the distant past, their civilization encountered a civil war.
The civil war and war ultimately almost destroyed this civilization. Almost all the planets they occupied were damaged, leaving only a group of descendants, remaining in the "bases" on the moon.
But they were not resigned to perishing. They wanted to restore their past glory.
So, they used their remaining technology to create the "Pillar of Creation".
They came to this planet and planted that tree into the surface of the planet.
Thus, the concept of life truly began to be born and nurtured.
"The Pillar of Creation would absorb all 'concepts' of this world to give birth to life, and then continuously shape everything through the wishes of life."
"Intelligent races were also created at that time, serving as slaves and soldiers for the revival of civilization."
"And because of this, the People of the Moon were also called the 'Clan of Gods', that is..."
"The Lunarian race."
As Rocks spoke up to here, Roy, although surprised, didn't lose his composure.
In fact, combining the legends of the Giant race and some fragments of words from Imu, he had already deduced that in the era eight hundred years ago, or even further in the past, the one ruling the world should indeed be someone else.
And the Lunarian race was originally the "Clan of Gods", only their civilization was exterminated by the Celestial Dragons. Looking at it now, this is indeed the truth.
"The development of life inevitably gives birth to civilization, and the birth of civilization inevitably leads to living beings desiring freedom."
"So, whenever the civilization of this planet developed to a certain degree, the Clan of Gods would 'destroy the world'."
There wasn't much emotion in Rocks's words. Perhaps it was because the story was too distant, or perhaps because similar stories are still happening in today's world.
"They would destroy the 'Pillar of Creation' through the 'Rainbow of Judgment', retaining only the records of the world within it, and then return to the moon to recreate a new, more perfect and powerful 'Pillar of Creation'."
"In the next world, the 'creatures' recorded by the world would be created again, become slaves again, develop again, be destroyed again..."
"The world grew stronger and stronger, with more and more races, but only destruction persisted eternally."
That was a despairing cycle.
And Roy also instantly understood why this world could still give birth to all sorts of strange races even though resources were clearly insufficient in many places.
The answer is... these numerous races are the "survivors" born respectively in each cycle of the world and then recorded by the Pillar of Creation.
Undoubtedly, that was a true "Dark Age"... that isn't even recorded in history.
But...
"Darkness will always be broken."
"The sun will always rise."
Rocks grinned.
And the fact is indeed so.
After experiencing an unknown number of cycles.
Perhaps it was the slackness and conceit of the Lunarian race in their long rule, perhaps even they forgot the more ancient past in the long years, or perhaps it was destiny.
Among the slaves ruled by the gods, a special individual was born.
He was a member of the Giant race, his name was Nika.
The first warrior of liberation, and... the "Destroyer of the Old World".
He led the slaves of various races, forged weapons, launched a rebellion against the gods, and achieved victory.
"The Rainbow of Judgment and Nika perished together, and all rebelling civilizations met with utter disaster."
"The Lunarian race suffered heavy losses. One part held fast to the Seat of God, laying low, while another part fled into the sky, becoming the 'People of the Sky Island'."
Hearing this, Roy could almost imagine what that world looked like.
That prosperous world once ruled by the gods, devastated amidst the rebellion stirred up by Nika.
The world was destroyed.
But at the same time, this world also obtained... true freedom for the first time.
"That was... the end of the 'First World'."
And the subsequent story, Roy understood.
That was the story carved on the Abyss—after that past world was destroyed, the Pillar of Creation still existed. People began to worship that tree, but never noticed the shadow of the world accumulating under the tree.
Then Davy Jones made the first wish, becoming the initial King of the world, completely exterminating the Lunarian race while also causing the Abyss to be born.
Subsequently, the twenty Kings betrayed Davy Jones, starting the war.
Ultimately, the Pillar of Creation was transplanted by Imu, the sea level rose, and the old world was sealed within the earth's crust beneath the sea surface.
That was the end of the Second World.
This is the true, "complete history" of this world.
