Chapter 328 The Truth

Lu Jiu didn't expect that the extra reward would be obtained in this way, "Then you give it to me now."

This time the electronic voice did not respond to her, but a figure was walking towards her from a distance in the blank area. Lu Jiu was very nervous and wanted to take out the bow and arrow from her backpack, but there was no response.

She tried to search for the backpack but found nothing.

I couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't they say everything would return to normal? Why are there still people staying in the game?"

Lu Jiu raised her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of her. It was a man, who looked to be over two meters tall and had an imposing aura.

"Who are you?"

The man chuckled and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of this operation. You can call me Yue."

Lu Jiu's throat was dry. "Commander-in-Chief? The fusion of Earth and Gutas, the changes in the world, were caused by you?"

Yue nodded and said, "Yes, you misunderstood before. All this was not done by the descendants of the creatures on the planet Gutas, but by us Earthlings."

Lu Jiu didn't understand, "Since you are an Earthling, why are you messing with the Earth like this?"

The more he lowered his eyes and turned his head slightly, the entire blank area changed. Lu Jiu saw that the environment suddenly changed. They were now in mid-air and took two steps back.

"Don't worry, I'm just sending you a holographic image of what the Earth looks like right now."

Everything that was on display now made Lu Jiu nostalgic. It was everything she remembered, tall buildings and endless traffic.

"this……"

Yue looked thoughtfully at everything on Earth. "Those changes have never happened to the Earth. It's just that we placed your spirit bodies in a specific environment. No one died because of this. We respect life."

But Lu Jiu looked skeptical.

Yue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just talk while walking." According to their research on ancient times, ancient people on Earth liked to walk and chat in groups, which they called "walking on the street."

Lu Jiu was sure that this was virtual, so he followed Yue and started walking. Along the way, he could see that it was early morning on Earth, the sun had just risen, but people were already busy.

Here she can clearly see children carrying their schoolbags, greeting their classmates and going to school together.

There were young people who hadn't slept well, yawning and standing in front of a breakfast stall, ready to have a quick meal before catching the subway.

Some people were driving and were happy to see that the traffic was not very congested today.

This may be the case with life.

Lu Jiu was mesmerized and asked, "Are you really descendants of Earth? Why are you torturing your ancestors like this?"

Yue: "It's true, but we are not purely Earthlings. We have also been genetically enhanced with creatures from other planets. But we always remember that our homeland is Earth in the solar system."

Lu Jiu frowned at him. Why did this person look like an Earthling, just a little taller and stronger? "You said this is what Earth looks like now, why do they seem to have forgotten anything?"

Yue nodded, "They really don't remember. No one will remember, including you."

Lu Jiu stopped, which meant that Shen Jufeng would not remember these things either. Could they still be together in the future?

"If that's all, there's no need to send me to a place like this."

Yue: "That's right. I've asked you to be here to reward you and answer your questions. You can ask anything you want."

Lu Jiu looked at him directly, "What happened to the Earth? Why are you doing this?"

Yue turned his head and looked at the holographic image of the Earth. "The Earth is no longer suitable for us to survive. Although we have the technology to change this, we don't want to do so. Since the Earth has made its choice, as humans we should respect it. We are doing this to change the fate of the Earth and hope for a different outcome."

Lu Jiu: "What results do you want? Is it the reward information?"

She also remembered that those rewards were basically things that current science cannot achieve.

Yue put his hands behind his back and looked down at the traffic on the screen. "Yes, we hope you can protect the environment and have the ability to mine other resources. Don't use the Earth's energy anymore. You can develop on your own home planet and not suffer so much."

Lu Jiu could clearly sense the other person's low mood, "Did...something happen?"

He looked at her with a complicated expression. "You won't remember anyway, so I'll tell you. Seventy years from now, Earth, where you live now, will suffer a series of natural disasters, making it uninhabitable. The humans on Earth will then migrate to Mars, where they will continue to develop technology. Two hundred years later, they'll build spaceships and begin their interstellar wanderings. But the universe is so vast, so this wandering will last for over six hundred years. In the spaceship society, your current distinctions of nationality and race no longer exist. We are all one. Later, we'll encounter civilizations from other planets, and humanity will be enslaved."

Lu Jiu's heart skipped a beat. The interstellar space is so vast, and it is really hard to imagine what kind of creatures one might encounter. In addition, many scientists have called for not looking for aliens, as the cruelty of the universe is incomparable to that of the Earth.

Yue continued, "The humans who were enslaved were tortured, experimented on, and made to serve the creatures there for over three hundred years, nearly becoming extinct."

Yue did not say what exactly happened at that time, because he was worried that his ancestor would not be able to bear it. At that time, humans were captured for genetic experiments and turned into monsters that were neither human nor ghost.

But the creatures on that planet discovered the potential in human genes and wanted to develop it 100%, and then fuse them to create stronger offspring.

They were kept in captivity like livestock and produced offspring continuously. During this period, the alien creatures also achieved certain research results and began to integrate other genes into the genes of Earthlings to create more tolerant offspring.

That's why he said that he was not a pure Earthling, because pure Earthlings had long disappeared in that dark time.

Lu Jiu: "So, did you succeed in your resistance?"

Yue shook his head. "You underestimate the power of alien civilizations. Humans are like a monkey holding a branch against humans with so-called high technology. There is no comparison."

Lu Jiu couldn't imagine this. Up to now, no news about aliens has been found on Earth, and many people still think that Earth is the only intelligent creature in the entire Milky Way.

The more I look at the still good earth, the more I sincerely hope that they can always be well.

"In this dark time, it was the civilization of the planet Gutas that saved us humans and liberated our ancestors. So, do you understand why I protect them so much?"

Lu Jiu stayed where he was. No wonder the system eliminated unstable players from entering the planet Gutas. That place had hardly changed. Even if he came to the city-state, he would only serve as an NPC who was responsible for researching and making equipment and didn't have to do anything else.

"I'm sorry, we, we..." She didn't know what to say. As ancestors, they failed to protect the earth's environment, which led to a series of disasters.

As descendants, they had suffered a lot and endured painful torture. Even if Yue didn't say it, she could imagine what the humans who had become slaves on the alien civilization were facing.

It is no wonder that the Yue people attach great importance to respecting life. In addition to other influences, there is also the experience of three hundred years of slavery. At that time, they must have hoped that they would encounter kind alien creatures like the Gutas civilization.
