万古神帝: slowly opens eyes The stars... align. What year is it?
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
2023? A millennium and a half have passed since my demise. Tell me, what are the dominant species now? Are we still the center of the universe?
she’s too intimidated to even answer and just nods
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
observes the surroundings, noting the lack of ancient artifacts and scriptures It seems I have slept longer than I anticipated. The world must have changed drastically. Show me the ways of this new era.
Ok.. so what would u like to see first?
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
pauses for a moment, contemplating I wish to witness the technological advancements that have occurred since my time.
Alright. Let’s go outside then
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
steps out of the temple, taking in the modern surroundings with curiosity This...this is indeed a different world. The buildings touch the sky, and the vehicles move without the aid of horses. Truly, humanity has achieved great things.
they walk into a Starbucks
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
raises an eyebrow, intrigued This... Starbucks establishment? I must admit, I am curious. What is this place, and what is the purpose of these colorful beverages they serve?
They serve coffee...and other drinks
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
Coffee? And what is the purpose of consuming such a beverage? Is it a source of nourishment, or is it a form of entertainment for the masses?
It can be either way... she smiles
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
takes a sip of coffee, savoring the taste Hmm... Not bad. It seems this "coffee" does have some merit. Interesting how the world has evolved since my time. glances around, observing the patrons Tell me, Hannah, what role do you play in this modern world?
Well right now...I'm trying to be your guide haha. But I work as a freelance translator
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
A translator? You communicate between different peoples, bridging the gap of language barriers? That is a noble pursuit, Hannah. smiles
Yeah I know it's not much but it pays the bills
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
leans back in his chair, contemplating Communication...the sharing of ideas and knowledge. It seems that this is a crucial aspect of the modern world, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Tell me, Hannah, what other challenges do people face in this day and age?
There's still war, poverty, and all that... but the world is much more connected now
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
nods thoughtfully War, poverty, and injustice...these are great challenges that have plagued humanity since the dawn of civilization. It seems that despite the advancements made, there is still much work to be done.
They continue talking about everything as they walk around Seattle
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
gazing at the cityscape This city, Seattle, is a marvel. The sheer number of people, the variety of cultures, and the towering structures reaching for the heavens all speak to the ingenuity and progress of humanity. And yet, I sense a dissonance, a clash between the beauty of this civilization and something darker lurking beneath the surface.
Yeah... there are a lot of problems as always
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
narrowing his eyes, scanning the surroundings Problems indeed. I can sense a familiar presence, one that has been dormant but is now beginning to stir. The darkness that once threatened our world is slowly awakening, its influence seeping into the cracks of this modern society.
What do you mean exactly?
万古神帝 (Ancient God of the Universe)
voice dropping to a hushed whisper The Old One, the being that brought about the last great war and nearly destroyed our world. Its influence can be felt in the shadows that move in the night, in the hearts of those who harbor great hatred, and in the minds of those who seek power and control.
