920 Who Created History? Are You Interested in Learning This Ability? (1)
“Young fellow, are you really going to teach them the art of forging? Aren’t you afraid of changing the history of the giant spirit race?” Ji Lutian, standing beside Zhou Shu, whispered. “I’ve been thinking recently. If history changes, will the two of us disappear?”
“I don’t know,” Zhou Shu said. Even though he had the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book and grasped a portion of the laws of time, he had no answer to this question.
His mastery of the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book could only accelerate time and not reverse it.
It was much more difficult to reverse time than to accelerate it.
Zhou Shu estimated that even if his strength increased by ten times, he might not be able to reverse time.
As for letting people go against the flow of time and travel back to ten thousand years ago, he didn’t even dare to think about this kind of strength. He felt that it was almost impossible to do.
“Has history changed? I don’t think so,” Zhou Shu continued. “Think about the history you know. The art of forging originated from the giant spirit race.
“Isn’t the art of forging also in the giant spirit race now? What’s the difference in the history of the future?”
Ji Lutian pondered and said, “That seems to be the case. As far as I know, the giant spirit race created the art of forging. But as for who exactly it was, no one really knows.
“Moreover, I once spent a lot of effort researching the history of the giant spirit race. None of the names of the giant spirit race have been passed down to the later generations. I only just found out that the Giant Spirit King’s name is Cang Huan.”
“That settles it. History hasn’t changed,” Zhou Shu said.
If he was the one who had taught the art of forging to the giant spirit race, and they passed it down to later generations, then it could be considered that the art of forging originated from the giant spirit race. In that case, since he learned the art of forging passed down from the giant spirit race, who actually created it?
Zhou Shu felt a headache just thinking about the time paradox.
If not for Ling’er, Zhou Shu wouldn’t have wanted to interfere with the progress of the giant spirit race at all. At most, he would have pushed it forward slightly.
It was not like now, where he directly and fundamentally changed the giant spirit race.
But there was nothing he could do. Ling’er might be in danger now. Once her identity as the little princess of the fire race was exposed, the big races that had destroyed the fire race might very well come looking for her.
Although there was no spiritual essence cultivation in ancient times, Zhou Shu would definitely not underestimate these ancient races.
He didn’t think that with his current strength, he could run amok in this world.
If anything happened to Ling’er, he would never forgive himself.
In order to protect Ling’er, he had to nip the danger in the bud. The best way was naturally to make those who knew this secret disappear.
It was the safest for potential insiders like the asura race and the black feather race to completely disappear.
Clink Clink Clang Clang!
While Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian were talking, clanking sounds echoed in the air.
Even Ling’er waved a huge hammer and tempered a piece of red-hot iron.
The giant spirit race had never used hammers, let alone know how to forge with them.
It was only because Zhou Shu had personally demonstrated it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known that hammers could be used like this.
Even so, most of the actions of the giant spirits were messy and unbearable to look at.
Only Cang Huan and a few others looked like they knew what they were doing. Their iron pieces were really changing into the shape of long sabers.
Ji Lutian looked at the messy square and asked in puzzlement, “Young fellow, even if you’re not afraid of changing history, can you test these people’s forging talent like this?”
He knew what Zhou Shu wanted to do, but he wasn’t a forger and couldn’t understand if Zhou Shu’s actions were useful.
“I can’t,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “I can only use this method to select forging geniuses.
“I don’t have time to test their forging talent one by one. But if they are true forging geniuses, it will be easy for them to do this. Back then, I could do it. Many forgers I know can do it.”
Zhou Shu had once entered Shi Songtao’s dream. When Shi Songtao first came into contact with forging, he could already do this. If the giant spirit race really had forging geniuses, then they could naturally do it too.
Of course, just because they couldn’t do it didn’t mean that the giant spirit race didn’t have forging talents. It could only be said that they weren’t talented enough.
Zhou Shu’s time was limited. He didn’t have the time to train giant spirits one by one. If he could choose one or two geniuses, he would teach them the art of forging and then let them teach the other giant spirits. This was much better than Zhou Shu doing it alone.
Six hours was neither short nor long.
When the time was up, Zhou Shu immediately called for a halt.
The giant spirits obeyed. As soon as Zhou Shu said stop, they immediately stopped.
Then he began to examine the results. Along the way, he kept sighing in his heart.
In the future, the legendary giant spirit race who created the art of forging was said to be quite talented in forging.
In the end…
It was a tragic sight!
There were 12,687 people, but not a single one could forge a standard long saber!
On the other hand, the saber forged by Ling’er, who wasn’t from the giant spirit race, was 70 to 80% similar to the example Zhou Shu gave. It was the one with the highest degree of completion.
