Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Chapter 132 Lido's Thoughts

When Lido read the written description of this tragic history, her heart was filled with emotions.

But this belongs to the distant past after all, too far away from Lido's era. It is easy to feel sentimental but difficult to empathize with her.

What's more, Liduo is not a pure magic mainlander, so her feelings are even more complicated.

Rather than focusing on those tragic historical facts, Lido is more concerned with the profound impact that the meanings behind these historical facts have on the magical continent, including the origin of magic.

Liduo's previous guess was indeed correct, magic was an external force. That was why humans on the magic continent could not practice magic, because they were just semi-finished products transformed by external forces.

If magic was the power system on the magical continent from the beginning, then there is no reason why humans cannot master it!

Liduo has reason to believe that Ziyue is the source of all abnormalities on the magic continent! Including the summoning array! Including the birth of elves! And also including the birth of monsters!

And Liduo believes that the meteor shower is also related to Zi Yue!

Although the Purple Moon has brought extraordinary powers to the Magic Continent, it is also the culprit for the suffering that has plagued the Magic Continent for thousands of years!

Lido will not put a filter on Ziyue just because she is a member of a vested interest group. With the reference on Blue Star, Lido realizes more clearly what Ziyue has brought to the magical continent!

Although Lido still can't figure out how Zi Yue transformed the magic continent, nor is she clear about where Zi Yue came from, Lido will figure it out one day!

Lido is not like the people on the magic continent who are unable to see through that the elves and monsters are the result of Zi Yue's transformation of the magic continent.

If she was not now one of the people with extraordinary powers and was not extremely obsessed with extraordinary powers, Lido would definitely not want the purple moon to descend over the magic continent!

Think about it, if there hadn't been that meteorite shower and the Purple Moon, and the civilization of the Central Continent had been allowed to grow normally, the recorded history to date would have totaled five or six thousand years, right?

Such a long history of civilization development has far exceeded the civilization history of Blue Star in Lido’s previous life!

So, is it possible that the humans on the Magic Continent have already left their planets and migrated to the universe? ! At the very least, their technology is still far ahead of that of the Blue Planet, right? !

After living a convenient life in modern society, who would really want to go back to the agricultural era when materials were not abundant and technology was not developed? Moreover, it was a chaotic era where one could not survive without some strength!

However, the arrival of the meteor shower interrupted the civilization process of the Magic Continent. But if there was only the meteor shower and no Purple Moon, the Magic Continent would be in a different situation.

Indeed, that meteor shower not only interrupted the civilization process of the Magic Continent, but because of the particularity of the Central Continent, it could even be said to have broken the backbone of civilization!

Because the previous civilization can be said to be destroyed! In the long disasters and wars, human culture, technology, art and even history have lost their inheritance, leaving only a few fragments of civilization for future generations!

However, even if the meteor shower and the disaster it brought reduced the population of the Magic Continent to only one tenth or one twelveth! Even if the meteor shower broke the Central Continent apart and no longer connected, making the humans on the Magic Continent geographically separated from then on! Even if civilization had already broken down!

But! A new civilization should develop on the ruins! Three thousand years is enough time to produce brilliant fruits of civilization!

Wasn’t this the case with Blue Planet in the past? The continents were torn apart, wars, famines, disasters, and epidemics were common in history, but didn’t it still develop rapidly?

Compared to the magical continent, the level of civilization should not be on the same level, right?

So what is the difference? That's right, it was the appearance of Purple Moon that put a stop to the budding and development of civilization on the Magic Continent!

Isn't this just an exaggeration? Don't you find it strange? What kind of power can make the entire social system remain almost unchanged for three thousand years? And what kind of power makes human technology develop so slowly? !

Of course, only extraordinary power can do this! Whether it is summoners, elves, monsters, or beasts, they all belong to extraordinary power and are the biggest factor causing all this!

And the one who brought all this was Zi Yue!

Indeed, Zi Yue’s transformation of the magic continent has not only bad sides, but also many benefits.

For example, it can make animals and plants, including humans, have higher physical fitness and grow faster.

For example, after the appearance of the purple moon, large-scale geological disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis have basically stopped occurring.

But! This benefit is insignificant compared to the disadvantages it brings! At least for humans!

It’s true that humans have acquired extraordinary powers, and the physical fitness of ordinary people is far stronger than in the past.

But! Apart from natural disasters and man-made disasters, the original opponents of human survival were just ordinary beasts that had not been strengthened. But what about now? !

Now, humans’ opponents of survival are monsters and beasts that have special abilities and are far more powerful than ordinary people!

The key is that the extraordinary power of human beings does not come from human beings themselves! Instead, it comes from another new species that was also brought about by Zi Yue's transformation of the magic continent - the elves!

It can be seen that Zi Yue’s transformation of humans is not thorough, making humans naturally weak in power.

On the one hand, this made humans exhausted in the process of fighting against demons and monsters (mainly demons), and they could only maintain a weak balance, and had no time to take care of the development of civilization.

Moreover, this balance is very fragile. In the past few hundred years, there has been a tendency to gradually break the balance, and now human beings are just struggling to maintain it.

Of course, this is Lido's own feeling, and the facts still need further verification.

On the other hand, humans are unable to practice magic themselves, and technology is not well developed, so human research on magic remains mostly on paper. Without personal experience and scientific and intuitive data support, it is impossible to transform and develop into a true magical civilization.

It has to be said that the current stagnant social system and political structure of the Magic Continent are the direct causes that hinder the development of civilization on the Magic Continent, but in the final analysis it is all Zi Yue's fault!

After humans defeated monsters for the first time, they established an empire. Summoners and the ruling families formed an alliance through marriage and finally merged into one to jointly rule the country. This was understandable under the general background at the time and was also the actual need of the people of the magical continent at the time.

At that time, mankind was in a state of civilizational fracture. There had been years of war and famine, and there was also an invasion by monsters. The desire for supernatural powers has never stopped since then!

Therefore, focusing on magic research after the war was a normal choice and completely understandable.

However, when society needs to develop productivity and when the political system needs to be reformed, the obstacles encountered are extremely solid.

One of the benefits brought by the Purple Moon is the increase in harvests from planting and breeding, the reduction in natural disasters, and the continuous reduction in population. As a result, the lower-class civilians in the magical continent will not starve to death as long as they work hard and are not exploited too much. Therefore, most of the lower-class civilians do not have a strong desire to revolt.

In addition, powerful summoners usually become the people in power in the country. No matter what class they were in before, after becoming powerful, they will become the ruling class and will naturally safeguard the interests of their class.

So even if there are groundbreaking thinkers who want to start a bottom-up revolution, it is doomed to fail!

Because they cannot defeat each other, in the face of extraordinary power, the division of power levels above the advanced level is like a chasm, and the number of people really does not mean much.

Besides, few people dare to leave the monsters alone and start a revolution! If someone does this, they will probably be attacked by everyone and be infamous forever.

Unless it is a top-down reform, this requires the highest authority or the strongest person to have the ideological awareness of reform!

But can the exploiting class really develop such awareness? At least not yet.

On the one hand, the invasion of monsters prevented the supernatural powers on the magical continent from developing a true magical civilization.

On the other hand, it strictly restricted the living scope of ordinary people, making it impossible for them to communicate in terms of ideas, culture, technology, etc., resulting in almost stagnation in the development of scientific and technological civilization.

The fact that after three thousand years of development, the basic technology of the Magic Continent is still only at the level before the Industrial Revolution on Blue Star is a clear proof of this.

The ideological and cultural development was even more backward, and the sprouts of capitalism never appeared! Not to mention the ideas of socialism and communism!

So, after three thousand years, the social system and political structure of the Magic Continent remain the same as before!

Li Duo couldn't help but sigh that the appearance of Zi Yue was a disaster rather than a blessing for the Magic Continent! It was foreseeable that the humans on the Magic Continent were now on a downward slope!

But now that things have come to this, Zi Yue’s transformation of the magical continent has lasted for more than three thousand years, and everything is a foregone conclusion!

Even destroying Purple Moon at this moment would be of no avail, it would only push the magic continent into an even more unpredictable abyss!

In fact, if Zi Yue could have transformed humans more thoroughly, allowing humans to achieve even a temporary victory in the subsequent war against monsters, it would not be impossible for them to further develop an extraordinary civilization.

Unfortunately, there is no if. So how can humans find that ray of hope?
