Chapter 841: Second Novel (4th Update)
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX The elderly man felt insulted by Yun Ru's
The elderly man felt insulted by Yun Ru's words and said in a stern tone, "Why don't you remember him?"
"It's simple because his existence has been erased from this world. You can check to see if there's any trace of him left in this world."
Yun Ru waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to temporarily unbind them.
After regaining their freedom, the elderly man didn't say anything. He went directly to operate a device, searching for information about Old Nine. As expected, he found nothing.
Even the house where Old Nine used to live had a completely unfamiliar man who had replaced Old Nine's identity on the surface.
This eerie feeling left the elderly man at a loss for words. Everyone here was no fool; they had all entered here because they were geniuses.
"Has... it taken action?" The voice of the elderly man trembled as he spoke.
He had once witnessed the entire planet in ruins, with darkness and enemies everywhere, and no sign of a living soul. At that time, they suspected that there was some entity on this planet that allowed them to survive in this manner, but they didn't know who or why.
Privately, they wondered if that entity was a deity.Upon careful consideration, they ruled out that possibility. A deity was an all-powerful being; even resurrecting them would not be a problem. So why would it allow them to survive in this way?
Since it wasn't a deity, it must be some kind of entity similar to a deity, something they couldn't resist.
Yun Ru nodded. "After he revealed all the truths, he disappeared."
The elderly man sighed deeply. "It seems that his disappearance confirms one thing: we must never speak of this truth. If it's revealed, our very existence will vanish, which is far worse than the previous punishment."
At this moment, the twenty-year-old young man was suddenly curious. "Is it the truth about this world that you've been unwilling to tell me?"
"Old Eight, we only suspected it before. Now that Old Nine has disappeared, it means we can't reveal this truth, or else Old Nine will serve as an example."
Yun Ru interrupted their conversation directly. "Where is the Star Exploration Hall?"
"Why do you want to find the Star Exploration Hall?" The elderly man stared at Yun Ru intensely. If Yun Ru had any ill intentions, he would rather detonate than let Yun Ru get his way.
"To fulfill the will of the Ninth Star, expose the truth of this world, and let everyone know the cruel reality!"
The elderly man seemed to want to say something but hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "Perhaps for most people, living like this is the best way. Let that truth be buried with us in our graves."
"Are you sure you need graves?" Yun Ru smirked. "You might not even have bones left."
The elderly man was taken aback, realizing that there was indeed a possibility of that happening. Others also had this thought, and a sense of unease gripped their hearts, except for the eighth member who looked utterly bewildered, having no idea what the others were talking about.
"Alright, we can show you the way to the Star Exploration Hall, but before that, there's something I'd like to know..." The elderly man looked at Yun Ru with a serious expression. "Is the novel 'Fengbao Empire' on the internet related to you?"
Seeing Yun Ru nod, the elderly man seemed to let go of all his reservations, even standing a little taller. He led Yun Ru and the others towards the deepest part of the facility.
The corridor was quite long, and they walked for almost an hour before reaching the bottom.
Here, they saw the apparatus capable of creating the Celestial Path. It looked like a large box with numerous wires attached to various devices around it.
"This is the Star Exploration Hall. Initially, the nine of us were explorers, and we stumbled upon this place by accident. We unintentionally activated the machine and obtained a wealth of knowledge and technology from it. Since then, we realized the greatness of technology." The elderly man's eyes gleamed with enthusiasm for technology.
If there were any technological cults or similar organizations, the elderly man would probably be the first to join.
"At that time, the planet was in chaos. We used the knowledge and technology from the Star Exploration Hall to build powerful armies, uniting the world and using many technological products to benefit the people. The world became more peaceful and prosperous, and that's what we're most proud of."
"But when we learned the truth, we realized that all of it was in vain."
"Now, this thing is yours. You can use it however you like. We just hope that in the future, you can make this planet better and not let it remain dormant like this. Please." The elderly man respectfully bowed to Yun Ru, and the others did the same.
Only the eighth member was still utterly confused, having not understood anything.
"Don't worry, we won't give up on any life planet, right, Chief Li?" Yun Ru looked at Li Tong.
After all, this was a planet of the Fengbao Empire, not the Red Alert Empire's planet, so Yun Ru couldn't make decisions here.
"Absolutely, I will ensure this planet continues to exist."
With Li Tong's identity, saying such a thing was not an issue, considering he already had dozens of life planets under his dominion.
With the promises from the two, the elderly man seemed to have no regrets.
"What do you plan to do next? Is there anything we can help with?" The elderly man was very serious, aware that there might be some craziness ahead that would shake the entire world.
"Well, there is something I'd like you to do..."
A few days later, the once-popular science fiction novel "Fengbao Empire" suddenly lost its popularity and was replaced by a new novel titled "The Truth of the World." The general content of this novel was rather simple.
It told the story of an ordinary planet that faced a catastrophe when extraterrestrial invaders attacked. Eventually, all life on the planet, including plants, perished, leaving the entire planet in desolation.
After an unknown entity arrived on the planet and witnessed its cruel state, it couldn't bear to see it and, using its immense power, directly changed the fate of the planet.
From then on, the planet gradually regained its vitality, teeming with people who had no memory of their previous deaths. They continued to live as they had before.
However, the planet was plagued by various conflicts and wars between nations. It was at this point that an organization called the Star Exploration Hall quietly emerged.
In just a few short years, the Star Exploration Hall unified the entire globe and introduced many technological advancements to the public, gaining the support of countless people and bringing peace to the world.
No one expected that it was precisely at this moment that the Star Exploration Hall discovered the truth about this world!
