Traveler in the Pirate World

Qianluan Star, also known as Shilin Star, is a special star basically composed of the sea and stone cliffs. It is where Lily lived in her previous life.

The land is covered with stone forests and cliffs. The high places on the cliffs are forbidden areas for living creatures. There is a serious lack of gases needed by living creatures and it is covered with ice and snow all year round. Land is an extremely rare resource here.

Just over 35,000 years before Lily traveled through time, the first Qianluan people were born in that world, and they still retained many characteristics of ordinary scaly animals.

They are short, with transparent white scales on their backs to protect them from poisonous insects and wild beasts, and sharp claws on their fingers for rock climbing. Because they live under dark cliffs for many years, their skin is too white, and their eyes, which have excellent night vision, are mostly lacking in some kind of pigment.

The wild life lasted for tens of thousands of years. The first step for the Qianluan people from barbarism to civilization was much more difficult than most ordinary people imagined.

The light of civilization, created from nothing, was ignited by a half-human-sized underground mineral that continuously glowed and heated up. It allowed this race that had lived in darkness and humidity for many years to discover a new world and slowly learned to use this stone.

Even in this era of highly developed science and technology, when humans can arbitrarily fuse these stones called photothermal raw stones, it cannot change their significance to mankind.

Since then, the light of wisdom of the Qianluan people seemed to be lit up by this stone. They gradually learned to build houses on the solid cliffs to change the dilemma of looking for caves in the mountains.

The houses at first were neither strong nor comfortable, and could only serve as temporary residences to buy time for finding caves. In the cold and sandstorm seasons, they had to live in caves, otherwise, even with the help of the light and heat stones, they would still be frozen to death or swept away by the wind and become countless dry bones in the sand.

Later, a man who was later called Jiayi by later generations discovered that outer clothes made from the shells of wild animals and poisonous insects could withstand wind and sand, withstand severe cold, and reduce the probability of being bitten by small poisonous insects. The Qianluan people gradually learned the basic way of wearing clothes.

This is a common thing for people in later generations, but it was an extremely great invention in that era. You know, many people died every day from the bites of poisonous insects in that era.

For the people at that time, the cold wave season and the sandstorm season represented disasters, disasters in which they would be almost dead.

As people began to use photothermal raw stones and leather armor, they also began to use animal bones and polished stone tools as weapons, and humans began to conquer wild beasts.

The improvement of living conditions brought about population growth, but for tribes with limited resources, this growth gradually turned from a great joy to a burden.

As time passed, population growth brought increasing pressure to the tribe. Classes gradually emerged, slavery began to sprout, and tribal leaders and young and strong people began to expel the old and weak, asking them to use the remaining rays of their lives to explore wider areas for the tribe.

They went up or down along the river at the bottom of the cliff. Due to their old age or weakness, most of them died at the hands of wild animals or diseases.

After several generations of exploration, they finally came to the end of the cliff valley one day. There was golden yellow sand everywhere and countless cone-like stone forests standing there, like sharp blades on the earth.

The yellow sand was like a huge mouth that swallowed up countless people. Some people in the tribe began to feel fear, and this fear began to spread.

Unable to open up a wider living space, the excessive population has become a burden. The old and weak who are willing to sacrifice for the tribe are driven out all year round, allowing some young and strong people to feel the joy of being dominated.

Slavery was fully awakened. They began to enslave the old, weak and sick, turning the once voluntary sacrifice into passive sacrifice. The awakening of class consciousness also meant the beginning of an era of injustice that lasted for nearly ten thousand years.

This went on for several years, and the man, who was not considered strong, realized that there was something wrong with this world.

The greatest dream of tribal warriors in the past was to bury themselves after they grew old. That was a sacred and great pioneer funeral and an incomparable glory.

Now this kind of development has come to a halt due to fear, and everyone is willing to be trapped in this cliff valley. The strong tribesmen's powerful military force is no longer a defense against wild beasts and huge poisonous insects.

Under the leadership of the man, a group of people chose to embark on the dangerous Yellowstone Forest with him. Unfortunately, they failed, but the path of exploration was recorded by the man. The prototype of writing was born in this world. It will be passed on to the heirs of the man's will, allowing them to bravely explore the entire world.

The tribe began to split, with some people insisting on stable rule and others choosing to inherit the will of a people later called Tu, and embarking on a road of exploration. Even though most of them died on the way, the information they left behind was still passed down.

After countless years of unremitting efforts and the sacrifices of generations, the countless information obtained allowed explorers to summarize and discover a large amount of knowledge. Even though there were many errors and omissions, it still brought tremendous changes to the world.

People learned to use the starry sky to guide their way, learned more ways to deal with the sandstorm season and the cold wave season, and learned to integrate knowledge and experience. Writing took shape completely during this period of time.

Finally one day, they discovered fertile land. Even though there were still countless stone forests on the earth and it was still surrounded by cliffs, the banks of the huge lake in the center were surrounded by deep green forests. It was a land of unprecedented richness.

The explorers who had left the tribe and wandered for countless years finally settled down, but their pace of exploration never stopped.

And this civilization established with the Lake of Life as the center, an ancient civilization that has lasted for thousands of years, is the ancestor of Lily's country in her previous life.

On this fertile land, an agricultural civilization, different from the hunting civilization, began to sprout. People explored the world. Some looked up at the starry sky that once guided them, some explored everything growing on the earth, some tried to conquer the cliffs that were like cages, and some continued to move forward and continue to be pioneers.

Most of our ancestors in later generations were extremely proud that they were descendants of pioneers and explorers, because it was they who discovered the most fertile land in the world.

Unlike the explorers who had never experienced the slave era, the tribe entered the era of theocracy after countless years of development, and the Church of Light was born in that dark cliff valley.

They claim to be righteous and bright, regard the light-heat raw stone as a miracle, regard all explorers as rebels, regard the Yellowstone Forest as the birthplace of the devil and the source of sandstorms that attempt to swallow up the world, and completely cut off the birth of explorers in the tribe.

The original Church of Light was indeed for justice and light, but with the erosion of power, most of the agents who symbolized the God of Light became slaves of power. They became greedy, dark, and no longer bright.

The kingdom of explorers on the shores of Lake Life was also slowly established over the years. The Court of Wisdom, built by the most knowledgeable group of people living on the lake, became the highest authority of that era. This palace integrated all the knowledge of the explorers and passed on the respect for all knowledge. Even in later generations, the Court of Wisdom remained sacred.

After countless years of evolution, both the lakeside people and the cliff valley people have developed many cultures of their own, but in some aspects they are surprisingly similar.

Because of the living environment of Qianluan Star, people have been wrapped in clothes all year round since the birth of clothes. Even though the styles of clothes are different, trying to cover the body has almost become a consensus of that era, because not doing so means a greatly increased probability of death.

This also led to the fact that even in later generations, even though people had entered an era of advanced technology and gradually got rid of the threat of nature, the Qianluan people still pursued a conservative clothing culture.

After more than a thousand years of development, the dynasties established by various tribes or settlements slowly met in the ever-expanding territory.

Because of the differences in living environment, daily diet and lifestyle, the appearance of the lakeside people, cliff valley people, Yellowstone people, coastal people and cliff people gradually became different.

The people of Yagu have pale skin and are burly and strong. Although the white scales under their bodies have degenerated due to being wrapped in clothes for many years, they still have obvious claws on their fingertips.

The Yellowstone people lived in the Yellowstone Forest and were the first people to come into contact with the lakeside people. They had dark skin and were relatively thin, but the warriors and nobles who had no shortage of food were generally very strong and tall. They established a brilliant desert civilization in the Yellowstone Forest. They were called demons by the Yagu people, and endless wars broke out with them.

The Linhai people are also descendants of explorers, but their initial exploration direction was different. They discovered the sea at the end of the continent and established their own country along the coastline.

Their skin color is slightly redder than that of the people in Yagu Valley, and they are the only ethnic group whose white scales on their backs have not completely degenerated. Their pupils are mostly the blue of the sea, and fishing has become their largest source of meat on a daily basis.

Living between the sea and the land all year round, their body lines are generally softer, but not lacking in strength. Such physical characteristics make them the most beautiful among the major ethnic groups.

The population of the Cliff People is extremely rare. They are a race that lives on the cliffs. They are generally slender. With the same body shape, their limbs are much longer than those of ordinary people, but they are not tall.

The lake people have ruddy skin, without scales and claws. Their bodies are not the strongest among the major races, but they do have the best physical coordination and are the most intelligent race.

The encounter of dynasties also meant the arrival of cooperation and war. This situation lasted for thousands of years and remained unchanged even in the early technological era.

Two beautiful girls sat at the head of the bed and had a long conversation. Lily talked about the great evolution of several civilizations on a planet. What did she want to express?

She didn't know, maybe she wanted to tell herself that no matter how insignificant a person is in the course of history, they are still an indispensable part of history.

People tend to only remember the greatest people and the most successful ones, but is it really right to deny the voiceless ordinary people of that era?

As the inheritors of the same civilization, their ancestors or descendants, or even themselves, did they really have no influence at all on that era?

Even if they are unknown hunters or insignificant farmers, their prey and food must feed their families and other people.

The world will not stop functioning because of the lack of a certain person, but it will definitely change because of the lack of a certain person, because people are not only a part of society, but also a part of nature.

Their lives may not mean much at the macro level, but what about at the micro level? Are the invisible impacts caused by them really so insignificant?

Vegetation will grow on the land where they are buried, they will be decomposed by the earth and microorganisms, and they will turn into all things. This is reincarnation.

Tina listened carefully to the development of the civilizations on Qianluan Star and the great and extraordinary heroic deeds. There was light in her eyes, the light of the lamps and the light in her heart.

She felt like she understood something, but also understood nothing. Lily didn't say anything profound. She just told Tina a series of stories that seemed extremely bizarre to her, but Tina knew that these stories would affect her life.
