For the past three years, "The History of the Planet" has been broadcast to people across the galaxy at a rate of three episodes a week, three episodes each, and the destruction of a civilization every three episodes, with more than a billion regular viewers. !
…Different civilizations have the same process, the same rhythm, and the same ending—occurring with high frequency and repeating endlessly—can you see it? ! This is actually a kind of brainwashing! ! And it was an aboveboard, three-year-long brainwashing for the entire galaxy! ! !
How many crazy people would it take to do something like this? ! And Lu Yuan really did it, and he did it very beautifully...
So those people did not really "believe" in the existence of the Reapers, but after being brainwashed, they were "forced to believe" that in the plot world, the existence of the Reapers was extremely reasonable - Lu Yuan's goal was very clear, "I can't convince you, so I just need to trick you into knowing the truth. The method doesn't matter at all!" - "Being deceived into believing" and "really believing", the subtle difference between the two made Lu Yuan Easily bypassing the basic rules of the world, even the main god "Catalyst" was fooled!
However, when the "Overlord" Reaper battleship appeared in front of everyone for the first time, neither the so-called brainwashing nor the story... it mattered anymore! Once there is evidence, the memory immediately becomes as clear and real as a knife! Millions of people instantly switched from "false impressions" to "really believed", and the basic rules were strongly reversed, causing Catalyst and Xing Yan to pay a heavy price in an instant!
The main god "Catalyst" is feeling quite heavy right now - you know. Eden is just a colonial star of the Star Alliance, a "remote rural place". From the perspective of the entire galaxy, the right to speak there is almost zero! Even millions of people in the colonies said with one voice that the Reapers existed. Not many people will believe them.
But according to the plot, next, Saren will drive the "Overlord" battleship to attack the Citadel Space Station...
By then, tens of millions of Citadel residents and people living in the center of the galaxy will witness the existence of the Reaper battleship! Thinking about the consequences if that happens, there will also be a loss of divine power. Catalyst's heart aches!
"Catalyst" quietly glanced at the still ignorant main god Xing Yan. She might not be able to survive the next time...well...somehow. When I think of this, "Catalyst" actually feels better...
"Can I invite you to dinner?" Catalyst suddenly asked Xing Yan.
"Ah?!...Okay...Okay! This is my honor." Xing Yan said with a forced smile. In fact, she was still a little happy... Although the loss of power made her heartbroken, the inexplicable kindness she received from the "Catalyst" was enough to dilute her pain.
Xing Yan thought it was an experience of "suffering losses at the same time". Drawn the distance between each other. Little did she know that if she dared to ask "Why did you invite me?", Catalyst would definitely tell her as if nothing had happened, "Because there will be no chance if it's too late"...Brother "Catalyst" is so arrogant!
"Well, he has always wanted to save those ants, so it makes sense..." Without caring whether Xing Yan agreed or not, Catalyst entered the soliloquy mode again and began to evaluate Lu Yuan's behavior and plan for him the impact caused.
Catalyst's current hesitation is that Lu Yuan was extremely accurate this time!
What Lu Yuan is doing now. The loss of strength to him is still secondary, the main thing is that it will involve a lot of his computing power.
Lu Yuan did not make a direct announcement, but it was better than a direct announcement - this kind of thing has happened in the past 50 million years. Will a situation that has never happened before really affect the plot? Will it cause initialization to fail? There is also the magical butterfly effect... in short, everything is unknown! We all know that this "unknown situation" in the growth process of the world has a fatal attraction for deceitful creatures like the Lord God!
Usually, a "catalyst" will jump into a trap even if he knows it is a trap...
He is one of the most powerful gods, and his situation is "unknown". Even rarer than gaining a new world.
So no matter how helpless he was, he had to wait until the plot started. It is necessary to monitor the status of tens or even hundreds of millions of people at the same time! Then the "catalyst" that involves a lot of energy will leave more holes for Lu Yuan to exploit. Lu Yuan's plan is completely a conspiracy. Even if he understands it now, he is reluctant to destroy it!
So far, Lu Yuan has tricked him, but he has stayed within the bottom line, preventing the main god's "catalyst" from overturning the table...
"How did he do it?!" The bottom line was stepped on so accurately that even the catalyst was surprised! You know, Lu Yuan definitely still has the last three episodes of the TV series in hand - the last reincarnation, about the previous generation civilization Proxian! If Lu Yuan were more ruthless, he could even dig out the "last Prothean" and make an appearance in the TV series!
Once he broadcasts those three episodes, even if the brainwashed billions of viewers are blinded by the rules, most of them will wake up - in that case, even if the catalyst is reluctant to part with it, in order to ensure that the world is successfully initialized, I can’t bear the pain and just roll back the world and reset it!
That way, everyone is finished together. Even if the world is reborn 50 million years later, there will still be the Illusive Man, Sister Xue, and Miranda, but they will definitely not be the people they are now.
And Lu Yuan, like a senior, cunning master god, stopped at the edge of the bottom line with a smile...
"The colony on Eden must be destroyed!" The final catalyst said. If samples need to be observed, the residents of the Citadel are the best targets - because they are right under the "catalyst's" nose. The military and civilians of the Eden colony are unnecessary. Eliminating millions of insiders is the best way he can think of now to reduce the pressure.
But, will Lu Yuan let him get his wish? In other words, Lu Yuan was expecting him to do that...
"Catalyst" bit his finger and thought with some reluctance. He didn't realize that his absolute confidence (arrogance) had begun to waver...

"Hey! Ashley, what are you doing there?! The beacon has been loaded into the truck, we must leave immediately!" the leader of the "Hound" team shouted on the team's channel.
"...right now!" Ashley Williams stood up from behind a stone. She glanced at the stone with some nostalgia, and then ran towards the direction of the tram. I don’t know why, but Ashley always feels that...that stone has something to do with her.
Ashley Williams didn't know that her fate had been quietly reversed by the Lu Yuan she had always hated.
In the original history, the six teams sent to carry out the task of transporting the "beacon" would encounter a large number of geth, and the entire army would be almost wiped out! In the end, only the only surviving Ashley was left. She was suppressed by the geth behind the stone, struggling hard to resist...until her Mr. Right/Daughter-in-Law, Shepard, descended from the sky and saved her! From then on, Ashley officially boarded the "Normandy" and became the famous "nuisance pear" who was full of justice.
But this time, the team led by Lu Yuan and n7n9 blocked the geths who were heading towards the excavation site! Therefore, the "Hound" and other six teams did not even encounter Geth interception along the way, and they had to complete their mission early.
"Let's go." Ashley ran onto the tram.
She saw that the "beacon" had been transported to the carrying platform intact, and everything went smoothly. Since the communication with the base has not been interrupted, the "Hound" team knows what enemy they are facing, and will not run into the geth head-on like they were ignorant like in history!
"Go! go! go!" the captain shouted anxiously. Everyone has seen that in the distant sky, the overwhelming geth fleet split off and flew towards the excavation site, bypassing Lu Yuan's obstruction. All combatants found bunkers and arranged themselves into defensive formations.
With everyone’s silent prayers, the delivery platform was finally launched! It slid out of the excavation site and quickly drove along the track towards the airport where the garrison was stationed... The distance between the team and the flying geth troop transport was once again widened.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
At this time, a huge insect-shaped battleship appeared at the end of everyone's field of vision...
