Chapter 583 - 583 582 Gradually Gathering Intelligence

?Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Gradually Gathering Intelligence Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Gradually Gathering Intelligence Listing to the phrases that Morris had recorded from some ancient elven narrative poem, Duncan gradually revealed a contemplative expression.

“Due to the long history and the fact that these sentences have traversed the dark period before the era of the City-States, having gone through ancient language translations and modern scholars’ restorations and supplements, they might not have fully restored their original appearance. However, I believe they still hold significance,” Morris continued, “They should be quite helpful for our understanding of the ‘Dreamscape of Creation’ as well as the current phenomenon of ‘The Dream of the Nameless.'”
Stroking his chin, Duncan mused and then said, “Saslouka creates everything in the Dreamscape, yet knows not what the Dreamscape is… How do you think this sentence should be interpreted?”

After thinking for a while, Morris responded, “According to my understanding, this might refer to the different perspectives between the divine gaze upon the world and that of mortals, or perhaps in the elven creation myth, there’s a certain uniqueness about Saslouka as the ‘original Dreamer’—for a deity who wanders in the Dreamscape, maybe the boundary between dreams and reality is meaningless? To Him, perhaps the real world is just a dream that can be modified at any time, and the Dreamscape can be used to replace reality at will, hence He ‘knows not what a dream is’…”

“That is a… fairly reasonable explanation,” Duncan slowly nodded, “What about the latter sentences then?”

“Regarding the two sentences that follow, scholars among the Elves do have interpretations,” Morris answered, “They believe that these two sentences refer to the day when the great deity Saslouka realized the ‘Elves’ own distinct comprehension of the Dreamscape, which caused Him to first question the boundary between reality and the Dreamscape, and this might have been a ‘crisis’. During this crisis, Saslouka nearly ‘awoke’, and in such an unstable state, He created the ‘dreamless ones’ among the Elves.”

“The dreamless ones…” Duncan nodded slightly, “I remember the Elves see this as a congenital defect.”

“Yes, and this is aligned with the legends—the dreamless ones were born at the moment when Saslouka was unstable, they are the result of the creator’s ‘moment of confusion’, hence they are flawed, and unable to enter the ‘Dreamscape paradise’ for all their lives, however…”

Morris paused for a moment, recollected his thoughts, and then continued, “But it’s precisely because of this that, in a very few legends, there’s also a notion that Saslouka is the protector deity of the ‘dreamless ones’—but this interpretation is not widely accepted in elven society, it is somewhat more accepted in modern times, but in ancient times, this was essentially considered a heretical statement.”
