Chapter 444 or perhaps?
Di Xing looked down along the Watchtower. If the Watchtower was the Great Wall, then its location must be in China, right?
But now, with its barren landscape, it's hard to believe that this was once a prosperous and fertile country.
However, the terrain south of Changyuan is relatively intact compared to other areas, perhaps because it has truly protected its homeland...
Then, looking eastward from Nagagaki, across the ocean, that place that should have been Japan's four main islands now consists of three islands shaped like small leaves.
A simple account of the "Three-Leaf Island" star ballad
Is that the hometown of the Immortal Chronicles? It seems Redros also lives there.
Suddenly, Di Xing remembered what he had seen in the memory of the [Goldilocks City] card.
......
"Honey, did you see the news? That monster actually destroyed my hometown!"
"It wasn't destroyed. The [Atlantean Giant] simply punched one of your home islands and another island together, so now your home islands are down to three!"
......
Isn't this describing Mitsuba Island? The name and attire of the character "Sendou Shinki" are Japanese-style, and Redros uses a Japanese-style deck called "Kusa Ryuu" (宮舍怒威).
Having found more and more evidence, Di Xing began to think rapidly again.
If this really is Earth, then it must be Earth in the future. In that case, I have to consider whether I have truly traveled through time or have fallen into hibernation for some reason and have been sleeping until now!
If it really is hibernation, how long have you been in hibernation? How far in the future is Earth now?
Di Xing began to ponder again how to determine how much time had passed on Earth, while Xing Yao simply watched him calmly from the side.
Di Xing's first consideration was to use the comparison of the length of a day.
The Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down; given enough time, the length of a day may gradually increase from 24 hours to 25 hours.
The same amount of time it takes for the Earth to revolve around the sun—that is, a year—will also become longer and longer.
However, these changes occur on a very large timescale. Is there a faster way to determine the time?
Suddenly, Di Xing had a brilliant idea, and he excitedly asked Xing Yao...
What is the highest peak in Entetella?
Xingyao pointed to the lower left corner of Shouwang Changyuan, where there was a continuous mountain range.
The Star Ballad of "Mother Earth's Horn" provides another brief answer.
Mother Earth? Mother Earth? What is the Chinese meaning of the Himalayas?
The Corner of Mother Earth refers to the highest mountain in this mountain range, right? Is that Mount Everest?
What is its height?
9388.86 meters
Di Xing recalled hearing in middle school that Mount Everest grows about five centimeters taller each year due to plate tectonics. At that time, Mount Everest's height was 8848.86 meters.
That means Mount Everest has grown 540 meters taller.
540/0.05 = ...ten thousand eight hundred years! ? ? ?
Di Xing was shocked; more than 1 years had already passed!
At this moment, Di Xing was deeply conflicted. On one hand, this was the answer he had painstakingly found, and it was supported by a great deal of evidence.
On the other hand, he hoped it was false, because if he really had been in hibernation for over 1 years, it would mean he could never return to his own world.
Torn between conflicting emotions, he looked up at the starry sky.
Suddenly, as if grasping at a straw, he pointed to the starry sky and shouted.
"The starry sky! This starry sky! This starry sky is completely different from the one I saw when I was a child!"
That's right! There's no Orion! No Big Dipper! And no Summer Triangle! So it must just be a planet that looks a lot like Earth! Everything before was just a coincidence!
However, Xingyao looked up at the starry sky and murmured...
"This starry sky is fake."
"Fake??"
"The true starry sky is hidden beneath the ambitions of the gods."
Suddenly, Xingyao seemed to realize something, her golden eyes widened, and she pounced on Di Xing.
"Have you ever seen the real starry sky?"
Before Di Xing could answer, Xing Yao pressed her forehead against Di Xing's.
Their noses were touching, and Di Xing could even smell the sweet scent of oranges on her breath. At the same time, he felt a rush of knowledge flowing rapidly into Xing Yao's mind.
At that moment, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the map on the tower's dome was rapidly disappearing, and then the starry sky he remembered began to quickly fill the entire dome!
Xingyao silently stood up, patted her blue and white striped Lolita dress, and began to carefully examine the star map.
Then she shook her head in disappointment.
"No, this isn't a star map of this planet."
Di Xing was greatly surprised.
"Didn't you say this starry sky is fake? How do you know that behind this fake starry sky isn't this real starry sky?"
Di Xing found himself somewhat amused. Just moments ago, he had been vehemently questioning whether this starry sky was Earth's, yet now he was refuting Xing Yao's claim—a reflection of his inner conflict.
"I have seen real star maps, even just a small portion."
"The star charts I've seen before can be seen again through this false starry sky."
She looked up at the vast starry sky reflected in Di Xing's memory above the dome, and pointed to the brightest star in it—Canis Majoris A, also known as Sirius!
"That star, the brightest one, it should be there."
Xingyao's little hand slowly slid from Sirius, located in the southeast of the star map, towards the northwest.
Then the star map in that direction began to dissipate, revealing the false starry sky in the night sky, and then something strange happened.
The image of the false starry sky projected onto the dome seemed to have been torn open, and behind that opening was the brightest star in the entire sky—Sirius!
"How...how could this be?"
Di Xing's brain has crashed. Based on the rise of Mount Everest, only 1 years have passed on Earth, and 1 years is absolutely insufficient for Sirius to change its position.
Keep in mind that 1 years is less than a second on an astronomical scale! It's impossible for the positions of stars to change so drastically, so this place wouldn't actually be Earth anymore?
Thinking of this, Di Xing didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He couldn't help but cover his head and groan in pain.
He wasn't the kind of transmigrator from an unhappy family; he genuinely wanted to go back...
Suddenly, he felt a warmth; it was Xingyao opening her little arms and hugging Di Xing.
Her cherry-like lips uttered gentle words.
"Thanks for your hard work"
These three words almost brought tears to Di Xing's eyes.
So Di Xing hugged her back tightly. Although she knew Xing Yao might have misunderstood, she still gratefully said, "Thank you!"
Then Xingyao raised her little head.
"Friends, we've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Friends? What are you talking about..."
Di Xing only got halfway through his question, because he saw it: under the brilliant starry sky of his memory, Xing Yao, who had always been expressionless, revealed a breathtaking smile.
Then, countless stars began to twinkle and connect, forming the magnificent constellations that have been passed down through the ages by humankind.
From that dazzling constellation, countless white knights belonging to the starry sky slowly emerged.
They came to welcome their fellow human beings, or their enemies, or...
Di Xing's voice broke the chaos
"You are... Star Saints?"
