Lin Wencheng also saw this, nodded helplessly, and said, "In this situation, this is all we can do. We can't do anything else."
Being captured by a group of cultivators with extraordinary powers was too desperate for everyone.
They couldn't even resist. Rocket launchers felt like mere tickles when they hit these cultivators.
It was precisely because of this immense disparity that these people felt so desperate.
He felt the same way, especially when he saw his grandchildren, he felt immense guilt.
He had caused them to fall into such a predicament. If it weren't for him, Lin Xue and Lin Zihao would probably still be in Huaxia, enjoying air conditioning and scrolling through short videos.
Lin Xue didn't notice her grandfather's expression. She said with some unease, "Grandpa, will we have a chance to go home?"
She looked at the cultivator soldiers staring at them all around, feeling very desperate.
Lin Wencheng looked at the haggard Lin Xue with great heartache and comforted her, "We will. Grandpa promises that you will return home safely without any harm!"
At this moment, he could only make such a promise, so that Lin Xue wouldn't worry.
Lin Xue nodded gently, but in her heart, she knew that the chance of returning home safely was almost zero.
Lin Zihao, upon hearing his grandfather's words, disagreed and muttered, "I don't want to go back. I have to do homework when I get home. There are cultivators here, and I want to stay here to cultivate immortal methods and become a true immortal!"
Hearing Lin Zihao's muttering, Lin Wencheng's face twitched slightly, but at this moment, he didn't interrupt his grandson's fantasy.
At this moment, Professor Sam spoke, "Old friend, are you sure the cultivator nation on this new continent has nothing to do with your Huaxia?"
He looked around at the ancient Huaxia-style architecture, his suspicion growing.
After entering the imperial capital, almost everything he saw could be linked to ancient Huaxia.
It wasn't just similar; it was identical, as if carved from the same mold.
He didn't believe in such coincidences. This new continent must have some connection to ancient Huaxia!
Lin Wencheng's expression was solemn, and he said, "I am also very suspicious about this. Especially when I saw these cultivators using brushes to write and sealing with seals, my suspicion grew even stronger."
"Could it be that this cultivator nation is a branch of our ancient Huaxia? Or perhaps, our ancient Huaxia is actually a branch of this new continent?"
He recalled some myths from ancient Chinese history. These myths were very ethereal and fantastical, usually treated as mere stories.
But now, he took them very seriously, especially the legends of the Qin Dynasty alchemists from over two thousand years ago.
Because these cultivators who captured them were too similar to the Qin Dynasty alchemists, with many commonalities!
Professor Sam nodded slightly and said, "If your Huaxia really has a connection with this cultivator nation, perhaps we still have a glimmer of hope!"
"But we can't communicate. Even if there's a connection, we can't communicate with these cultivators," Lin Wencheng said with a wry smile.
They had tried many times to communicate with these cultivators, but each attempt had ended in failure.
No matter what language from Earth they used, these cultivators couldn't understand.
Just then, the two cultivator soldiers escorting them brought an elder with white hair into the prisoner-of-war camp.
"Lord Lin, thank you for making this trip," Chen Wu bowed respectfully to the elder, his expression full of reverence.
This was a renowned expert in the spiritual domain of the Great Qian Dynasty. Although his cultivation realm was not high, his attainments in the spiritual domain were incredibly profound, unmatched by anyone in Great Qian.
Before His Majesty arrived, he had to first have someone decipher the language of these Earthlings.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if His Majesty personally interrogated these Earthlings and they couldn't communicate.
Lin Ru slowly nodded. His cloudy eyes looked at the group of strangely dressed mortals in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Are these the Earthlings who came from the Endless Sea?"
Curiosity arose in his heart, wondering what was special about the humans appearing in the Endless Sea.
"Yes, sir," Chen Wu nodded, and at the same time, he briefed Lin Ru on some of the Earthlings' situations.
Lin Ru's eyes showed even more surprise after listening.
"They have a civilization system different from the Great Wilderness. This is truly rare. And they possess weapons that can kill powerful cultivators. They are indeed extraordinary!" he exclaimed.
This reminded him of something His Majesty had casually mentioned before.
When the academy was being established, the civil and military officials initially thought that the academy should only admit students with cultivation talent, and reject those without.
But His Majesty thought differently. He spoke of equality, saying that those without cultivation talent could also enter the academy to study.
At the same time, His Majesty told a story about a mortal who mastered knowledge, used that knowledge to create all sorts of wondrous creations, and used these wondrous creations to conquer the stars and seas!
This story made the civil and military officials yearn and feel shocked!
They could never have imagined that mortals, who were physically weak, could create such miracles.
And now, these Earthlings before them, their civilization system was very similar to the story His Majesty had told.
It was a case of mortals mastering knowledge and creating weapons capable of killing powerful cultivators through that knowledge!
In an instant, Lin Ru became even more curious about these Earthlings.
"Let me use my spiritual power to enter their minds and take a look!" He was about to act against these Earthlings.
At this moment, the people from Earth had already noticed this extremely dignified old man. His aggressive gaze made everyone feel uneasy.
Seeing the old man approach, everyone quickly took a step back, fearing they would be captured for experimentation.
Chen Wu frowned and shouted, "All of you, stand still! Don't move!"
But the Earthlings couldn't understand him at all. Instead, his reprimand made them retreat even faster.
Lin Wencheng also retreated, but suddenly he felt a gaze fixed on him. He looked back and met the old man's eyes.
In an instant, his gaze lost its spirit. He stood there in a daze, unable to move.
Lin Xue and Lin Zihao were terrified when they saw this. Their faces turned pale, and they exclaimed, "Grandpa! Are you alright?"
There was no response. Lin Wencheng remained in a daze, his pupils unfocused.
Lin Xue called out a few more times and waved her hand in front of Lin Wencheng, but he still didn't react. Tears immediately streamed down her face.
"Don't worry, he's been soul-searched. It's the same as those people in the prison yesterday!" Sam said, noticing Lin Wencheng's condition.
