Let alone having written records passed down to preserve traditions!

However, as if seeing Su Ping's skepticism, the elder said, "This particular era is also known as the Primeval Era, Ancient Times, or the Age of Ignorance!

"In history, the Liang Dynasty dates back to about eight hundred years ago in the New Calendar. The era of the Wu Dynasty, coinciding with the several hundred years of chaos at the end of the Great Gan Dynasty, spanned more than a thousand years in total!

"And the Great Gan, as you should know, is recorded in Dragon Nation's ancient texts as the most prosperous dynasty in the true sense of the word! The Long family of the Great Gan Dynasty ruled the lands of Dragon Nation for a staggering one thousand four hundred years! Before that was the Seven Emperors Period, which also lasted for over a millennium!

"During that period, numerous tribes in Dragon Nation were autonomous, each occupying its own territory. And preceding the Seven Emperors Period was the primeval Age of Ignorance! Nobody knows exactly how long this era lasted.

"But anything before the tribal era of the Seven Emperors is considered part of this age. Exploring this age has always been one of history's greatest challenges! And this script, it should have already existed back then!"

Su Ping didn't know much about these things. Especially the existence of dynasties—how could they last so long? Wasn't there a theory of dynastic cycles or something? But it also made sense. This was a supernatural society where an individual's strength could indeed solidify rule. Moreover, as a Beast Tamer's power increased, their lifespan also correspondingly increased. The development of the Beast Master Civilization on Blue Star was vastly different from the Blue Star of his previous life. The trajectory of history was entirely different. However, the cultural manifestations of Dragon Nation, aside from Controlling Beasts, did share some striking similarities with his previous world! For example, poetry and ancient writings. Even if there were slight differences, overall, they largely corresponded.

Su Ping nodded. So, this diary is from that era?

"So, are these characters from that ancient era?"

The elder before him nodded, then shook his head, "This can't be called writing!"

"Ah?"

Su Ping was taken aback again.

Not writing? He glanced at the script in the diary. Each character looked like an indecipherable talisman; he couldn't even tell them apart. They were all just scribbles. If this wasn't writing, what was it? He didn't understand.

Then the elder spoke again, "To be precise, it's not entirely writing!"

Su Ping shot a somewhat resentful look at the old fellow. He hadn't seen the foul and obstinate temper Qin Xiaoxue had mentioned, but he could certainly see that this man's skill at keeping him in suspense was truly remarkable.

"Indeed, this is the most ancient form of writing. There are rumors that similar relic writings have been found in some of the oldest ruins on the Western Continent! Such special markings come not only from Dragon Nation but also from regions inhabited by humans even in Ancient Times!

"Therefore, within the field of history, the origin of this script has always been a mystery! What we have now is merely a transcribed copy. But if you look closely, don't you feel dizzy and your vision blurred?"

Su Ping was stunned.

He looked at the elder in disbelief.

He wasn't just shocked that writings from Ancient Times could have such an effect; he finally understood! Indeed, how could a genius like himself have felt so drowsy just from reading these past few days? So, it really was the script's fault, not his!

Su Ping nodded hastily.

"That's right! Using this script is extremely difficult. Investigations of historical clues have shown that transcribing articles or records using this script consumes a vast amount of spiritual power!

"Thus, during the ancient dynastic eras across various continents, to make the application of writing more widespread among the populace, it gradually evolved. This led to the common languages now used in the Western Continent and Dragon Nation.

"And this type of ancient script gradually vanished into the mists of history. However, among some items unearthed from the Great Gan Dynasty two thousand years ago, there were still things transcribed using this script, which is called 'Serpentine Script.'"

The elder also looked deeply moved.

History concealed countless unimaginable secrets, but very, very few of them could ever be truly unraveled.

"So, this Serpentine Script, in primeval times, was something that only Beast Tamers with powerful spiritual power could use. At the same time, the archaeological field speculates that this script also possessed a certain power. Moreover, why is it that remnants of this script have been found across all continents throughout history?

"Thus, this Serpentine Script is not merely writing; it also represents ancient secrets yet to be explored!

"Of course, speaking of this diary, it's a handwritten copy and has been around for a relatively long time, so the spiritual imprint and influence on it are actually quite minimal.

"The spiritual imprint left behind wasn't strong, perhaps because the transcriber only copied its form without truly understanding its meaning. However, if you want to read this script, it's actually quite simple! Just use your spiritual power to perceive it, and you will naturally understand!"

"Ah?"

Su Ping was startled once more. This time, he found himself genuinely interested in the history of the Beast Master Civilization.

Without a second thought, he instinctively closed his eyes. His spiritual power, which had reached Elite Ninth Order, spread out and gently enveloped the cover of the handwritten diary.
