"Princess Mo, before that, I have one more question. May I ask how much does Princess Mo understand about this world?"
"How much I understand?"
This she really found quite hard to say.
To say she doesn't understand this world, she's lived as Glaze Nation's First Princess for a full eighteen years. Almost the entire continent's situation is within her sight.
To say she understands, the various deities appearing recently have nearly confused her completely. She simply doesn't know where exactly they popped out from. Moreover, before this, she also almost never cared about the existence of deities.
"About half and half."
"Mm, looks like Princess Mo only understands what's related to herself."
"Otherwise, what else should I understand? Understand this world's human evolution history?"
Besides, that kind of thing has already been severed. There's simply no way to investigate forward. The entire continent's history stops at about a thousand years ago. Further back, there are no records at all.
"No. Since Princess Mo lacks understanding of this world so much, then I should still properly organize it for Princess Mo first."
Scarlet Radiance Nation was a country established by crossers and reincarnators, similar to a republic. One king, a council, and a procuratorate. Separation of three powers, mutually restricting authority while also mutually promoting.
And Cecilia herself was originally in the Western Region. After being invited by Scarlet Radiance Nation to come to the Eastern Region back then, she never went back. Although she didn't join among the numerous crossers and reincarnators later, she also stayed in Scarlet Radiance Nation.
After Scarlet Radiance Nation was established, because among the crossers and reincarnators there were three scientists and quite a portion of top students, this prompted Scarlet Radiance Nation's technology to develop rapidly, directly almost reaching the level of modern times.
Of course, the side effects of technology's rapid development were also particularly significant. At that time, Scarlet Radiance Nation, because of technology's rapid development, spent an extremely enormous amount of money, to the point that the capital chain almost directly broke.
Want to make money but don't want to sell out the high-tech products they made. What to do? Of course, start from other aspects, such as exporting silk, silk products, tea, and so on to other countries to earn sufficient funds to continue research and development.
There were also other things like dairy products, crop cultivation guidance services, bread fermentation and baking, all kinds of recipes all printed and sold off, and various production tools that are very backward compared to modern times were also all made and sold out.
This kind that doesn't involve high-tech products can be directly sold externally. Just keep the high-tech products in their own hands. Everything else doesn't matter.
Like this, Scarlet Radiance Nation almost directly promoted the entire continent's rapid development. Later came various policies benefiting the people, attracting more people from the surroundings to come to Scarlet Radiance Nation to settle.
After developing stably for nearly a hundred years, Scarlet Radiance Nation directly leapt from a poor and remote area to become the Eastern Region's super power. The population also reached several million. Whether economically or militarily, they completely crushed all countries.
It can be said that for the entire continent, it was a dimensional reduction strike. After this, it also drew the wariness of the Western Region's five great nations. They all wanted to suppress the Eastern Region's momentum...
After that was what had already been told, the story of how Scarlet Radiance Nation in just a few years completely defeated the entire Western Region.
"The general development is like this."
Cecilia told the little Princess all the details of Scarlet Radiance Nation back then as much as possible. The rest were all things she had already forgotten or hadn't experienced.
"During the development process, although it caused this world's technology to rapidly develop, what came along with it were also bigger, more frequent wars, and the wariness and covetousness of various countries. Many countries died prematurely during rapid development, merged by other stronger countries."
During that period, many commoners were forced to become displaced refugees, then trampled by war...
That era was the most chaotic, even more chaotic than the previous Eastern Region's chaotic war led by Scarlet Phoenix Nation and the Eastern Region's Eighteen Alliance Nations.
"So, Princess Mo, please don't try to break development patterns anymore, okay?"
Just like this time, the firearm design blueprints the little Princess released made this world even more chaotic.
She doesn't like the world being too chaotic. That way, she can't peacefully slack off. Moreover, under the impact of various unstable factors, no one knows how long Glaze Nation and Scarlet Phoenix Nation can still exist on the continent.
Back then, Scarlet Radiance Nation inexplicably had its order collapse, then suffered a devastating disaster. Overnight, more than half of Scarlet Radiance Nation's high-level officials died. The rest, because of disagreements, took the land they controlled to establish new countries...
Thus, Scarlet Radiance Nation fell, split into nine countries. The former Scarlet Phoenix Nation was one of them. Then Empress Fei launched a coup to usurp the throne and reorganized it into the current Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
"Then what about you? Why did you help Fei usurp the throne?"
According to what she knows, the reason Fei could rise again in the most desperate time, among it, Cecilia's contribution is indispensable. It was Cecilia who gave the Empress the possibility of a desperate comeback.
"Me? Of course, it's because I couldn't stand watching it~"
Besides, she didn't interfere with development patterns. She just helped a helpless young girl ascend to become empress.
Mo: "......"
She really had nothing to say!
"Then there's this world's truth."
Although regarding the history of about a thousand years ago, there was a major gap, there's still one key piece of information that has been passed down to now. That is, in a period even more ancient than before the gap, that era when the gods hadn't yet fallen into slumber.
The Age of Gods, also known as the mythical age. Deities were in an extremely active state. Their footprints spread throughout the entire world. With the ultimate mighty power that current humans cannot comprehend, Divine Power, they ruled this world.
Then, due to irresistible factors, they were all forced to fall into deep sleep. This period is called Ragnarok.
And the deities who didn't enter sleep during this period all became nutrients for this world...
"This is probably the truth about the world that most people have never understood until now."
Cecilia said, propping up her cheek.
"You mean humans are actually just toys casually created by deities?"
"Perhaps. I don't know either. I think more information, Princess Mo, you should ask that deity inside your body."
She's just an ordinary human Great Archmage who's lived a few hundred years. Where would she understand so much? She's not some encyclopedia!
Besides, even encyclopedias aren't this comprehensive!
"...Alright then!"
Having asked so much today, she also needs to properly digest this information. The remaining things she's temporarily not anxious to ask about. Otherwise, digesting too much information at once isn't comfortable for her either.
......
After watching the little Princess leave, Cecilia took out a new teacup and filled it.
"Your Majesty, Princess Mo has already left. You don't need to hide anymore."
After speaking, the space to one side twisted. A figure sat on the stool the little Princess had just sat on, which still retained her warmth.
