Because the aberrations are almost indestructible unless destroyed, Colin has never been sure how many years have passed since the end of the Age of Suffering.
Only by knowing this can he better judge the overall situation of the world.
"The end of the era of suffering?"
After thinking for a while, Barton shook his head and said, "It's hard to say for sure. Different survivors have different opinions. We in the Sea Family think that it's been about ten years, some survivors think it's been decades, and some think it's only a few years...
"Some people think it's been at least a thousand years...
"But I am a member of the new generation and don't care much about it, so I don't know much..."
Ten years to hundreds of years or even a thousand years? That's unscientific. How can the span be so large
Colin frowned: "Isn't there anyone who survived that era who can give an accurate account?"
If there were people who managed to survive the difficult times, it should be easy to determine how much time had passed.
"My Lord... Whether it is decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, these are what the ancient survivors said..."
Patton told everything he knew.
Nowadays, there are still many surviving ancient people, but the time they speak of is still inconsistent.
What’s even more bizarre is that every ancient survivor can produce evidence to prove that what he said is true.
After the transformation, the intelligence of some races declined significantly and they regressed to the "Stone Age", but they also had simple tools to record time.
Judging from those times, nearly a thousand years have indeed passed.
But there is also evidence from within their Sea Clan that everything happened only a dozen years ago...
Colin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he listened to Barton's words. He probably understood some of the meaning.
The speed at which time passes in different areas is likely to be different!
Then, a deeper doubt emerged in Colin's mind: in what form would the doomsday that would end the era of suffering come
"But from the previous 'filthy blood' incident, I can roughly guess that someone in the Church of Suffering must know what the gray fog is, and by injecting this blood into everyone's body, they can avoid the influence of the gray fog..."
This is a bit like creating collective immunity through vaccination, thereby isolating the virus from the group.
However, how they managed to "vaccinate" billions of people with dirty blood is another thing that is incomprehensible.
"It seems that the gray fog came earlier than I thought. It is very likely that it happened in the early days of the Age of Tribulation..."
Every miracle must have an obsession, or a grand ambition. What kind of "grand ambition" did the sacred idol called the First Miracle, who stands below the gods and above thousands of miracles, promise
Colin pondered and guessed that this might be because all the suffering people had filthy blood.
If the guess is correct.
Then, the "great wish" made by the first miracle, the "Twisted Father", spread the "filthy blood" and opened the Age of Tribulation, which avoided the arrival of the gray fog.
With his own strength, he reversed the tragedy of civilization being extinct in the gray fog and allowed the era to continue once again.
