Ren Zhong smiled without saying anything, and didn't bother to say more, casually replying, "Maybe."

The current year is 682 of the New Origin Calendar.

According to the history of Source Star, the electric industrial revolution happened about 1,800 years ago.

So, a thousand years ago, humanity on Source Star had already experienced 800 years of electrification.

Logically speaking, with human wisdom, during that era, the methods to deal with the Ruined Beast couldn't possibly still rely purely on melee weapons and fighting with bare bodies.

Thus, the appearance of these murals seems very unreasonable.

If it were just a child's doodling, that would be one thing, but with the craftsmanship and skill of these murals, they could not possibly be the work of a child.

This is a point of suspicion.

Who, and for what purpose, left these murals a thousand years ago?

The answer is almost obvious—some generation of Source Star's people was making efforts to forge history.

The murals in the Qi Mountain Tribe are exactly the masterpieces of that generation.

Moreover, Ren Zhong continued to deduce, by seeing a part, that there must be more similar "antiques" on Source Star that could prove history.

Some of these might be crafted with meticulousness, considering even the half-life cycles, while others might be as "rough" as the murals in the Qi Mountain Tribe, focusing only on the content rather than the material.

Today, Source Star has precise half-life monitoring means, and with just a slight test, potential contradictions in time and logic can immediately be detected.

But the wonder of human cognition lies in the fact that if everything is predetermined as reasonable, then when faced with anything unreasonable, people are constrained by their existing cognition and subconsciously find a reasonable explanation for the unreasonable.

The people who forged history are not worried about being exposed, because civilization's cognition inherently has the instinct to strive for logical consistency.

This is the origin of Shi Xuan's answer earlier.

But Ren Zhong had denied the Origin theory of Source Star from the beginning, so he easily saw through the murals' disguise.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, Shi Xuan asked his subordinates to count the numbers, confirming that all the residents had arrived.

Ren Zhong signaled Shi Xuan to step forward to speak, while he himself couldn't be bothered to waste words.

Shi Xuan formally announced Ren Zhong's decision and declared the grand relocation of the Qi Mountain Tribe officially started.

"There are too many people, so we'll not take the train. Everyone pay attention! When marching, line up in a neat column of five. Watch over your own children, no fighting, no loud running."

"The passenger airship that's carrying us is just outside the entrance of the tribe, and when climbing the stairs, it must be done in an orderly fashion."

"As we move out of the town, armed personnel will be on the outer perimeter to guard against the Ruined Beast. But still, pay attention to personal safety. If a Ruined Beast suddenly surges out from the ground causing harm, do not panic, disperse in place immediately and await rescue."

"From now on, we're going to our new home!"

The entire tribe burst into cheers at once.

Seeing the smiles on others' faces, Ren Zhong involuntarily smiled as well.

For some, happiness is luxury and power.

Ren Zhong's happiness, however, is bringing happiness to others.

When he sees his efforts bringing smiles to others, he feels a genuine sense of satisfaction.

Even though he has seen similar smiles on many faces many times, he never feels tired of it. He enjoys this moment.

Walking at the front of the group alongside Shi Xuan, Ren Zhong turned his head to look at Shi Lin beside him.

This little guy is young, with talent still not bad, yet it's unknown to what extent he can grow in the future.

"Mr. Ren, later I won't enter the town."

Halfway through, Shi Xuan suddenly said.

Ren Zhong frowned, "What do you mean? Where are you going alone?"

"I don't know, but while I can still move, I want to wander around Source Star, go as far as I can, see as many places as I can. You know, I'm still carrying a wanted notice on my back. I'm afraid I'll bring trouble to you."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "There's no need. You've merely killed a mayor, that wanted notice of yours is nothing worth mentioning to me. Your two friends will arrive in Starfire Town this evening, and I have something to entrust to them, so I'll just let them add another layer of shielding for you."

Shi Xuan shook his head, "They can only slightly reduce the 'net's' scanning of me, but if my face is exposed to central surveillance, the information will be automatically uploaded, and Mayor Ma can't stop it."

Ren Zhong glanced at Chen Hanyu who was following him on his right side.
