Chapter 690 259 Same People, Same Job, Different Fates [4400 words]_3

...

Achilles' Heel: A mythical story from the Second Continent's primitive ancient era. In that era when humans were weaker than the Ruined Beasts, a man with innate divine strength was born. His mother survived an attack from an advanced Ruined Beast while pregnant, endowing him with the talent of an Armored Soldier from birth, making his body impervious to weapons, with only a fatal flaw at his heel.

Trojan Horse: Originating from the protracted war during the ancient era of the Troy City State Alliance against the powerful Greek Alliance on the Second Continent...

Spartacus: A loyal warrior from the Roman Alliance during the ancient era of the Second Continent. He gloriously perished defending the capital fortress of the Roman Alliance against the onslaught of the frenzied invading Thracians.

...

Approximately seven to eight hours later, Ren Zhong finished his eight-hour sleep and woke up on his own.

He left the hibernation space, sat up straight, and his face was full of sudden realization.

Such a cunning "Network," such a despicable Association, just how much manpower and resources, and how much computing power have you invested to weave such a seemingly seamless second layer of false history?

The first layer of false history is the Origin Theory of human beings on Source Star, which has many inconsistencies and can only fool the wasteland people and lower-level citizens. Yet under the comprehensive information control of the "Network," laws that appear lenient but are actually strict, and the wasteland people's self-brainwashing rationalization, it can still persist.

This second layer of false history, however, is a complete reworking of Earth's objective history. It adapts historical figures and re-colors the timeline across millennia, ultimately transplanting it onto Source Star!

The logic of "Ten Thousand Years History" is extremely tight, with tightly linked timelines and biographies, without a single flaw.

It forged everything and inherited the culture.

But at the same time, it also insidiously altered the characterizations of people like Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Dou Jiande, Fang La, and Spartacus, erasing their "revolutionary attributes."

Moreover, to fill the gaps, "Ten Thousand Years History" includes this statement.

"Due to Ruined Beast attacks and intense wars, the preservation rate of ancient artifacts is extremely low. Only approximately around 800,000 artifacts have been collected by the Association from around the world and are stored in the Lower Origin Capital City Museum."

Ren Zhong had no doubt that the half-life indices of these 800,000 artifacts have also been manipulated, making them look authentic.

Furthermore, the first and second layers of false history do not conflict with each other; they are perfectly connected.

The difference is that one has the "ultra-ancient" period that dates back tens of thousands of years, while the other originates from the escape of the Pioneer spaceship tens of thousands of years ago.

The wasteland people live in ignorance and won't seek the truth.

High-level citizens who know about the Pioneer spaceship think they are on the fifth floor but don't realize there's a tenth floor above them.

No Source Star natives could uncover the truth.

Only Ren Zhong, a person from Earth, realized that this is a world-deceiving scam.

So, how long is the true history of Source Star?

"Ren Zhong, what's wrong? You seem troubled?"

As he pondered, Ju Qingmeng, who was sleeping beside him, also woke up, lifted the quilt, and asked next to him.

Ren Zhong turned his head.

The smooth, flat abdomen, the slender waist, the voluptuous figure...

Damn it.

I have to do what fits the character of a Source Star person.

Sigh.

Otherwise, tomorrow I should probably go back to the habit of sleeping on the couch.

...

Ju Qingmeng was late by a full two hours.

...

At ten in the morning, in the underground of the Biological Laboratory, Ren Zhong instructed Sun Miao: "Brother Sun, I'll allocate three billion for you right now. Help me produce this kind of medicine."

Sun Miao frowned, "This medicine is very dangerous. If one day you encounter a situation where the medicine is taken away, or if for some other reason you can't take it on time, you'll die on the spot!"

Ren Zhong grinned, "It's fine, I'll be careful."

After speaking, Ren Zhong glanced at the inconspicuous-looking high-temperature furnace in the corner of the laboratory and then turned to leave.

The Fifth Level Citizen's advancement composite psychological test, led by two Level Nine Telekinesis Masters and assisted by six Level Eight Telekinesis Masters, was about to begin.

The situation was slightly different from what Ren Zhong had expected.

He spotted a familiar figure among the six Level Eight Telekinesis Masters—it was Xiao Xingyue.

Clearly, her investigation and the subsequent lying and temporary suspension occurred after today.

Ren Zhong guessed that it likely happened between days 121 and 128.

As he was considering how to handle this new situation, Xiao Xingyue spoke out even before the group leader could.

She lifted her cloak and said, "I report myself. During my previous investigation of Ren Zhong, I colluded with him in advance to conceal the truth about the Alien Ore. The Alien Ore is in his possession. Therefore, I don't think I'm qualified to participate in his composite assessment; I should step aside."

This secret, which once led to Yang Bingzhong's demise, was brazenly exposed in such a straightforward manner to everyone present.

Ren Zhong's face changed slightly, but he quickly responded and candidly admitted, "Yes."

The raspy-voiced Level Nine Telekinesis Master nodded and said to Xiao Xingyue, "Alright, you head out for now. After our review here is completed, you will report to the headquarters for discipline."

Xiao Xingyue smiled, "Alright."

Before leaving, she gave Ren Zhong a flirtatious glance.

Ren Zhong maintained his cool demeanor and nodded slightly.

Ren Zhong knew that this matter would likely be glossed over.

In this era, the rules are set by humans, and also serve them.

People in the same position may have very different endings; even criminals, if they are Fourth Level Citizens, have vastly different treatments, statuses, and outcomes.

Source Star needs his intelligence, his potential is immensely high, he is worth the money, and he has already donated sixty billion, so it doesn't matter if he stole the Alien Ore.

Yang Bingzhong indeed died in vain.
