"Stop!"
Gu Gongming suddenly raised his hand to stop Wang Canxin from continuing his story.
"Commander Wang, your ability to fabricate lies is truly appalling. You dare to tell such an absurd story."
"You claim to have had alien species hundreds of years ago, and that there were even more than 100 countries before that. What evidence do you have?"
His gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on Wang Canxin, as if he wanted to cut open his exterior and see inside.
At the same time, the aura of the 'Star Radiance' realm was fully unleashed, enveloping the entire room.
The others also stared coldly at Wang Canxin; clearly, no one believed his nonsense.
But the next moment, another powerful aura rose from behind Wang Canxin and collided with Gu Gongming.
It was Jian Luo standing behind Wang Canxin.
"Everyone, please listen quietly to Commander Wang's words before drawing any conclusions, okay?"
As Jian Luo spoke, the aura she exuded rose even higher, at one point overwhelming Gu Gongming.
Gu Gongming met his gaze, then snorted, withdrew his imposing aura, and turned his head away. "I'd like to see how you're going to make up this nonsense."
"Hey, you!" Jian Luo was clearly dissatisfied with Gu Gongming's attitude, but after glancing at Wang Canxin sitting in front of her, she didn't say anything more.
Wang Canxin remained silent throughout, only adjusting his glasses and speaking again when the room quieted down.
"The appearance of the alien species dealt a heavy blow to humanity, which was already battered by war and disaster."
"In less than a year, the human population has decreased by one-fifth."
He paused, then slowly held up five fingers. "Finally, five of the most powerful nations at the time realized that if things continued this way, all of humanity would be wiped out."
"These five countries are the five countries we know today."
The expressions of everyone present became serious, and they all began to listen carefully to Wang Canxin's account.
"They achieved a rare unity and quickly formed an organization consisting of all their military forces."
"Night Star?" Xiao Liu asked.
"That's right, this is the origin of the Night Stars."
"What about the other countries? Were they all killed by the aliens?" Xiao Liu continued to ask curiously, a question shared by everyone present.
Wang Canxin simply lowered his head, and even Jian Luo behind him lowered her eyes, as if she had remembered something sad.
“No…” Wang Canxin raised his eyes, “The rest of the countries were destroyed by the newly established Night Star Organization.”
This sentence was like a bomb, exploding in everyone's minds and turning their thoughts into a jumbled mess.
"At that time, only by uniting could humanity possibly fight against this catastrophe of extermination, while those who did not cooperate would only face the fate of being killed by their own kind."
"In this way, the five countries quickly divided up all the power of the rest of the world."
"At the same time, they also transformed a great tree that could convert everything into the purest energy, the Tree of Terra, into the common property of the Night Star People, jointly controlled by five nations, with mutual constraints."
"Of course, this big tree is also the main cause of all the wars."
At this point, Wang Canxin paused, giving everyone some time to process what he had said.
Several minutes passed before he spoke again.
"Finally, after years of struggle, superhumans suddenly appeared among humans, and their numbers increased dramatically every day."
"Humanity was finally freed from the situation of being crushed by other species."
"Then, after society finally stabilized, the first thing the Night Star's higher-ups did was to suppress everything related to real history."
"After all, such a shameful history is not conducive to the Night Stars' future development as a self-proclaimed righteous organization."
"History books, photographs, videos, and even most people who know history, except for those of significant value, have been hidden or destroyed."
"Afterwards, they fabricated various histories that were favorable to the Night Star Organization, and also changed the birth time of the alien species to the same time when the superhumans appeared, so as to prevent anyone from discovering anything amiss."
"And all those hidden artifacts from the old world are sealed in one place, where there is a secret weapon powerful enough to destroy the world."
"As for the people who guard these old artifacts, they are called gravediggers."
"At the same time, the responsibility of guarding the Tree of Terra also falls on the gravekeeper."
"If you investigate carefully, you will find that many excellent superhumans who come out of the training camp do not become Night Stars but disappear without a trace, or some Night Stars disappear inexplicably after becoming powerful."
"They were transferred by the higher-ups of the International Night Stars to become the gravediggers."
Gu Gongming and the others stood frozen in place like statues, each of them looking completely dazed, as if they couldn't accept this reality.
But upon closer examination, they realized that it was exactly the same as what Wang Canxin had said.
Whether it's encountering highly intelligent alien species that claim to have lived for decades, or experiencing enormous cultural differences within a country, it all undoubtedly reflects this point.
Previously, due to their trust in the Night Stars and their ingrained mindset, they hadn't given it much thought.
But now, they only felt a chill run down their spines.
They had lived their entire lives in lies!
"So...the reason they're in such a hurry to disband us is because they want to..."
"I want you to become gravediggers."
Wang Canxin answered without hesitation, then looked at Gu Gongming.
