Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 576 The Truth
“That’s right… If I’m not mistaken, once the main character appears, our mission will change.” Mu Xiang snapped his fingers. “If you think about it carefully, you’ll find that all my plans are based on half the effort. You can work hard if you want; but if the situation changes, it’s easy to adjust back.”

Zheng Zha was deep in thought when Mu Xiang laughed and said, "Furthermore, the reason why we came to this world... is about to be clarified."

Meanwhile, Liu Xi was continuously transmitting information to Mu Xiang... It was a very simple thing; she had written a speed-reading program, and although the sound it played was incredibly strange, Mu Xiang could hear it clearly.

Liu Xi told everyone else to go about their own business. At this stage, besides being part of the two training teams for the Mechanical Dragon, their group also had a lot more to do. Oh, Wang Xue was assigned a full schedule of meals every day. Although the Central Continent team members could eat other things, in Zhang Jie's words, any newcomer, regardless of their ability, had to rely on their own abilities.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to train newcomers? What kind of good senior professionals can be trained by training newcomers for nothing?
Many team members have almost forgotten that while Zhang Jie is indeed a good older brother figure, when Mu Xiang left, he was first and foremost the older brother, and only then did the question of whether he was good or bad came into play... Just based on his ability to keep up with Mu Xiang's various leadership methods, it's one thing how good Zhang Jie is to his teammates, but another thing about how strict he is with the newcomers!

At this moment, even Zhang Jie was driven away. This house, which had been reinforced with various forces, was a place that only Liu Xi could use... to decipher the hidden secrets of this world.

"Heh, no wonder you asked me to do this... because you know I can definitely keep things confidential, right?" Liu Xi chuckled sarcastically. "Even if someone else could complete the task, the information itself wouldn't be acceptable to them, would it?"

Looking at the various forms of information on the giant screen, Liu Xi shook her head: "You really believe... that I could know about this kind of transaction between the two of you?"

"Stop playing dead, I know you can hear me..."

A laugh immediately came through her earpiece: "How do you know how much inside information I revealed to you? Maybe I just told you some things you could know... otherwise you wouldn't have been able to complete this mission."

"hehe."

After giving a half-hearted smile, Liu Xi launched a final assault on the last part of the classified information.

The world's initial state was the same as Earth, familiar to everyone in the Central Continent Team... It went through the same few thousand years and developed into the same modern civilization. Then, just like in countless science fiction novels and movies, it unlocked even more powerful abilities on the technology tree. Although some specific world-building differed from the history Liu Xi was familiar with, it was still easy to understand.

Until humanity developed mechs and then popularized them in all aspects of life... everything seemed the same as Earth today, but there was one major difference: the humans in this world had already truly left Earth three hundred years ago, in the 23rd century, and began to explore more distant places.

The most advanced mechs at that time were designed for such purposes. Just as the most advanced spaceships should be used to open up new sea routes, the mechs that best represent the level of human technology should be used to explore space, not for pointless civil wars and performances.

Then... humanity encountered an even more powerful civilization.

The name of this civilization wasn't even recorded in these classified documents... All that was recorded was Earth's name for it: Celestials!

Indeed, just from this name, you can see the result of the conflict between Earth's civilization and that civilization... Earthlings suffered a crushing defeat and were worn down by all their spirit.

Initially, humanity was able to defeat the advance team of that civilization using its elite mechs deployed overseas. Even the so-called Celestials, whose abilities were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, were captured and subjected to various forms of research. Using elite mechs as weapons and space fortresses composed of space stations as strongholds, humanity's space force completely destroyed the advance team of that civilization.

Despite the high cost, humanity's technological level ultimately made leaps and bounds in this clash of powerful civilizations.

But humanity was wrong… not in the conflict itself, but in underestimating the strength of this civilization. Perhaps in terms of quality, this civilization's technology wasn't invincible, but what if there was an insurmountable gap in numbers? When that fleet arrived, the space force, equipped with the latest technology, was virtually powerless to resist and was completely annihilated.

Despite humans having a more rational physical structure and more powerful weapons adapted to their needs, the level of those elite mechs could only match the enemy's technology by a margin of 40/60. And the one point that could be made up by combat skills was rendered meaningless in the face of the enemy's sheer numbers.

When that fleet, visible from anywhere in the solar system, appeared outside Earth, humanity's space force was easily crushed... Representative elite mechs of various models were captured and became spoils of war and research materials for the enemy, while the remaining mechs, along with their pilots, became fragments drifting around the Earth.

The cluster of space stations visible from Earth was blasted apart. This space fortress, which could be seen just by looking up and protected Earth, along with some of the wreckage of the mechs, turned into fiery steel meteors that streaked across the sky and crashed into Earth.

Humanity was utterly defeated, and after obtaining the Space Force's genetic information, the enemy sent infiltrators... In the end, the Earth Federation, which had originally been united against the enemy, returned to a state of separate governance, and the country that had been most committed to the resistance, along with its allies, was blasted into wasteland by the most advanced weapons of the other major powers.

Humanity has been utterly defeated, defeated in such a grotesque way... After their cheeks were slapped raw, the Earthlings severed their strongest arms, then knelt and became prisoners of the enemy, who called them, the Celestials.

The rebels were wiped out, and new conformists filled the void in the wasteland. There were still too many Earthlings as slaves... Even after a war that nearly destroyed them, there were still many submissive Earthlings who bowed their heads and crawled on their knees into the Celestials' ruling order.

Meanwhile, countless satellites created based on Earthling genes were born from the debris around Earth, enveloping Earthlings' thoughts in a scenario set by the celestial beings.

This is the truth about the nuclear war fifty years ago.
