The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1149 Historical Truth
These words immediately dispelled the confusion in everyone's minds.

Liu Hongyi frowned. "You mean... this isn't actually a gas giant in the true sense, but rather—a planet with continents?"

“That’s right.” Liu Sheng nodded.

"The entire continent... is covered by these clouds and mist?"

“That’s not all.” Liu Sheng shook his head.

"If it is merely obscured by high-altitude clouds, from an orbital perspective, it would at most be misjudged as a planet with a thick atmosphere and an obscured surface, rather than being directly identified as a gas giant in long-term understanding."

“True gas planets will have significantly different mass, radius, average density, and gravitational characteristics compared to rocky planets. Even if the outer cloud seas are very thick, they can still be distinguished as long as a complete calculation is performed.”

Liu Hongyi was taken aback. "You mean... the continent here might not even exist anymore?"

Liu Sheng nodded.

"At least it no longer exists in its original form."

"If my teachers and Professor Bai were here, perhaps we could have done the calculation again."

She looked up slightly at the thick fog in the depths of the night. "But we don't have sophisticated enough measuring equipment right now, so we can only make inferences based on the existing data."

"Fortunately, we can detect it directly."

Liu Sheng patted the mechanical behemoth in front of him.

The Sword Immortal Taibai scratched his head as if he were listening to gibberish, "So what does this have to do with the people we need?"

Li Ming, who was passionate about learning, had already passed the college entrance examination and was enrolled in the First Imperial University. She began by saying:

"Let me guess—if there's a continent and plants, it means there's a habitable environment here, otherwise the Federal Empire wouldn't have chosen this place to colonize, right?"

"In other words, there may have been indigenous people here in the past."

This conjecture is even more astonishing.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

“That’s right,” Liu Hongyi murmured. “If the social classes here are divided into nobles and commoners, and the colonists of yesteryear are all noble ancestors, then…where did the commoners come from?”

It can only come from people other than the colonists.

There's no need to explain further.

The implications behind this conjecture alone are enough to overwhelm everything else.

Everyone felt a chill creep up their spines.

Especially Li Ming, Taibai Sword Immortal, and Ariel.

Liu Sheng had already broken out in a cold sweat the moment he thought of it—

They were so close to their home planet, Mother Earth, facing the same fate.

If the Covin Group hadn't misjudged their strength...

No.

not only that!

Considering that those people in the Coveyne Group have chips and physical modifications, the ones who will eventually become rulers will likely be either Bell Labs or Izeta, while the people of the Earth Mother World will only become victims of power struggles.

Thinking of this, a tense look appeared on everyone's faces.

Liu Sheng: "Don't worry, when we took in the scavengers from the Kowen Group, we had already removed the chips from their heads."

"As for the Izetta Foundation's control, it's too far away to be effective, just like Helena."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What exactly happened back then?" Liu Hongshan suddenly asked, his eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness.

"Take a look."

Liu Sheng raised his hand, and countless pieces of information intertwined in the air, eventually converging into a series of video clips.

“This is…” Oze was stunned.

Liu Sheng calmly explained:

"This is the result of piecing together the relevant texts, images, videos, equipment logs, and observation data I found, then reconstructing the timeline and adding simulations."

"You can think of it as a way to recreate historical footage as faithfully as possible based on existing materials. As long as there is enough original information, the error will not be too great."

As they were talking, the first video began playing.

Everyone could see it clearly—

The perspective is like that of the front view of a spaceship.

The spaceship is slowly descending.

Through the thick clouds.

Back then, the clouds were far from the colorful and eerie colors they are today.

Instead, they were soft, white clumps, their edges gilded with a soft, golden edge by the sunlight, almost indistinguishable from ordinary cumulus clouds above Mother Earth, and even cleaner.

Further down, the view gradually opens up.

A vast forest appeared before them.

A vast expanse of azure ocean reflected the light in the distance.

Rolling mountains, winding rivers, and leveled areas cleared from the edges of woodlands.

"It really is... the mainland," Liu Hongyi murmured softly.

What's even more shocking is that, in the middle of that forest, you can clearly see the traces of human intervention.

It was a cluster of wooden bungalows, roughly constructed but arranged in a staggered pattern. There were clear roads and public spaces between the houses, and even a surrounding wall.

“There’s someone here, there really is someone here!” Ariel exclaimed excitedly.

The footage continues to be taken.

The spaceship slowly descended.

It landed not far from that settlement.

Soon, several figures emerged from the woods. Leading them was a woman with her face covered in totems, wearing a long black robe, her eyes slightly cold as she stared at the camera.

Behind her, a large number of figures followed.

They were all dressed in rough cloth, and their faces were similar to those of modern nobles, with no signs of deformity.

The White Sword Immortal recognized the woman at a glance.

"It's—that girl!"

How did she... end up here?

Although I already knew about it from the photo, it still felt incredible when I actually confirmed it.

Ling Yu Ke was seen facing the camera with a cold expression:
Who are you?

The next moment, she raised her hand.

Immediately afterwards, the camera suddenly tilted and fell to the ground.

The scene that followed suddenly became chaotic, with only messy footsteps, tilted grass, and disordered audio tracks remaining.

Liu Sheng quickly switched to the next video.

In this part, the atmosphere has clearly eased.

Clearly, the two sides have established initial communication.

In the scene, the colonists are being led on a tour of the settlement.

This time, everyone saw it even more clearly—

This is not some barbaric tribe; on the contrary, the application of natural craftsmanship can be seen everywhere, indicating that it already possesses a certain level of technology and civilization.

Even the Taibai Sword Immortal sighed:
"This place... is just like the former Tang Dynasty."

As for why it was "in the past".

That's because after Qingyun Pavilion emerged and gradually gained influence, the entire social landscape underwent many changes, and the development of Tiangong was changing rapidly.

That change only occurred after Ling Yuke left.

As the colonists marveled at the different technology here, they quickly recorded everything, and that's when the video ended.

“So…” Liu Hongyi frowned, “how did these natives become civilians?”

Liu Sheng did not answer immediately, but continued to select the next group.

Many of the later videos are about how the two sides established diplomatic relations, and Ling Yuke's image appears in the videos at all times.

She clearly holds a high position of power among the indigenous people.

She was able to represent Dr. Bell in negotiations, and even Dr. Bell showed her great respect, referring to her as "Prophet Ling".

Meanwhile, the ancestor of the Kovien family—that young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes—was always following behind Ling Yuke.

This was the case in every video, and the distance between the two kept getting closer and closer until he gradually stood half a step behind her.

Then came another video.

That was a very festive one.

Red ribbons and auspicious words were hung everywhere in the streets and alleys, and everyone was dressed in festive and bright clothes.

In the center of the picture, Ling Yuke is dressed in a wedding gown with a long-lost smile on her face, next to her is the ancestor Kowen, with brown curly hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The two held hands, their smiles genuine.

Liu Sheng could tell that Ling Yuke must have been truly sincere in marrying this ancestor of Kovien.

At the wedding, the young man from the Kovien family was the first to kneel and pay his respects to Ling Yuke, who looked down at him and accepted his submission.

That's not the usual way a groom treats his bride.

Dr. Bell stood by with a loving smile, as if pleased to see two admiring young people happily united.

Although it was a wedding.

But it's also clear that it has another meaning.

Next, it's about how the colonists gradually integrated into local life, and how they further combined the technology of the Federal Empire with the local cultivation civilization to promote the continued development of technology.

The city is expanding.

The population is growing.

The original settlements gradually evolved into new city-state structures.

A parliament was also established.

Ling Yuke's figure also appeared at the head of the council.

"If that's the case, why have I never known of such a lady's existence?"

Oze was also somewhat surprised.

I began to doubt my own memory again.

"Since everything about her has been erased, it's normal that you don't know anything about her."

Why erase it?

Liu Sheng shrugged.

"Isn't it obvious from the fact that your Kovien family is now called the Kovien family instead of the Ling family?"

"It started as an alliance, but later it gradually turned into domestication, and then into one-sided enslavement."

"Time can change everything, including people's hearts."

Oze was pale.

There is no way to refute it.

Because the last video recording was—

Between city-states, rivers of blood flowed.
