Chapter 399 - 368 - : Prophecy
According to the contents of the mural, the resurrected prince, in a non-human form, returned to the shore, killed the usurper and an entire army with formidable force, and reclaimed the throne.
He then promoted more advanced architectural technology and bronze smelting techniques within the kingdom, creating magnificent ancestral temples and palace complexes.
In the final scene of the mural, the exceptionally tall prince, or rather the King of Cangze, was wearing a tightly sealed yellow robe, sitting regally on his throne. Through eyes inlaid with pearls, he gazed down at the subjects below the palace who were as insignificant as ants.
Sikong Lan shivered unexplainably; the style of the rock painting was primitive and barbaric, with the background subjects below the palace resembling simple line figures like those in Huashan rock paintings, yet the depiction of the King of Cangze was extraordinarily vivid,
whose indifferent gaze seemed to pierce through a millennium, staring at the three people in the oval hall.
"The Dan people are descendants of the Baiyue, and Cangze belongs to Baiyue."
Zhang Fulu furrowed his brow, slowly piecing together the existing clues in his mind, "For some reason, Cangze did not carry forward, while the ancestors of the Tu Family were ’pure Cangze people’ hidden among the Dan people,
or perhaps they were originally ordinary Dan people who unexpectedly acquired the Cangze country’s heritage, such as ’Divine Shedding’, and thus became wealthy.
As for these rock paintings..."
"By using mythological theory, all the contents on the mural can be explained."
Li Cheng said, "Separate by geography, different languages and customs prevail, yet because they all undergo stages like dwelling in caves, slash-and-burn, and feudal city-states, highly similar mythological religious stories emerge among all ethnic groups.
