Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 108 - 94: The Future That Changed_2

Shen Shi remembered very clearly, in the history recorded of the future he had seen before! The Worren Fleet descended directly onto Blue Star, and within just a week, humanity surrendered without the slightest resistance.

Where was the defense shield!

Just these few words can only mean one possibility!

The history of the future has been changed!

But why is the future of humanity still unchanged?

The black market is still this black market, Gong Chu is still this Gong Chu, the future of humanity is still that weak civilization that has lost its culture and heritage, on the brink of extinction under the threat of the Daike Civilization!

Wait——

Did the secret weapon of the Worren Fleet destroy the defense shield on Blue Star?

That means, even with the Planet Fortress and the Space Fleet, humanity still lost?

Shen Shi’s mastery of Primordial Energy, which he had started to hone, was of great help at this moment. Although his heart was a stormy sea, he forced himself to calm down as quickly as possible.

"Indeed, you must be careful." He said slowly, "But the Planet Fortress you designed... can’t it withstand this secret weapon?"

"Because the transaction made by the Captain earlier was based on the Worren Fleet from three thousand years ago as the hypothetical enemy, so the Planet Fortress I designed also mimicked the defense facilities of Blue Star from three thousand years ago. Although the specific details of that design have been lost, it is said to originate from another mysterious and powerful interstellar power, with every aspect considered very thoroughly." Gong Chu replied, "However, that Curvature Oscillation Device comes from the Daike Civilization, with a technological level not on the same plane. For the war three thousand years ago, when this weapon appeared before Blue Star, the outcome was already determined."

"..."

Shen Shi was speechless for a long time.

He suddenly thought of a phrase.

Time is an unchangeable, unbreakable circle. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Imitation?

The Planet Fortress from three thousand years ago comes from the future, but the future design is yet imitating the past.

"There’s one more thing, I’ve realized I know too little about the situation on Mother Star, could you help me prepare a highest-level access information database, preferably... one that can update in real-time."

Shen Shi controlled his emotions. He must know what exactly happened in the history of the future world that has been changed!

"Yes." Gong Chu had already assumed the posture of a subordinate.

"Then keep these Ancient Books well, I hope you can take that step." Shen Shi said, and after Gong Chu replied, he even disappeared from the store before stepping out.

He had logged off.

Back to his body, looking at the back of his hand, Shen Shi’s gaze still held a trace of uncontrollable horror.

It turned out that it wasn’t his changes to the present that didn’t affect the future.

The human history of the future world has already changed.

Yet, the future world three thousand years later remains unchanged!

Yes, there’s only one explanation—he failed!

"What on earth happened?" Shen Shi slightly clenched his fist, "If it really came to that point, would I still hold on without bringing the entire Dongfeng Corps here... Right, the next investigation of the Daike Civilization is in two years, and the Worren War is in three years, if Gong Chu also fails or succeeds but is still useless, then I would have no bargaining chip... No, would I really just watch the Dongfeng Fleet’s annihilation?"

His mood at this moment was extremely irritable.

In fact, after trading for the Planet Fortress, he felt that the war with the Worren Fleet, though not foolproof, at least would probably not have much issue.

After all, this Planet Fortress was designed by humans from the future world using the Worren Fleet as the hypothetical enemy!

If the Worren Fleet had such a powerful secret weapon, why didn’t they mention it in the last transaction?

No, maybe when the last transaction took place, history hadn’t changed to this point yet?

So, was the loophole still appearing in the present?

"Could it be that the future really cannot be changed?" He stared hard at the Time Crystal in his hand, his mind constantly churning, "If it cannot be changed, then what is the point of this thing in my hand? No... the history of the future world has been changed, which means the future should be able to change... But what, then, about the secret weapon of the Worren Fleet... What exactly happened in the war three years later..."

As Shen Shi tried to sort out the drastic changes in the current situation, Gong Chu had already brought the new information database.

It was not the information database from the last trade with the Collector, but a backup one prepared with Gong Chu’s own permissions.

It would even update every so often.

Shen Shi was already somewhat impatient to use the black market terminal to open it.

Then he searched for the war three thousand years ago.

The history of the future world indeed changed.

Shen Shi saw himself in history.

"A human named Shen, returning from a mysterious interstellar power, warned the leaders of the civilization. He brought advanced devices, built the Planet Fortress, and prepared everything to face the coming enemy... He almost became a hero."

Shen Shi looked at this introduction about him, looked at the "almost" in the last sentence, feeling extremely stinging.

If everything eventually still fails, then all he did was just to earn the word "almost"?

Shen Shi also saw the commemorative video of this war made on January 1, 3026 of the Starry Era.

Yes, it was the video he received from the Collector on the first day he obtained the Time Crystal.

Yet the content of the video had completely changed!

Above a city engulfed in flames, the wreckage of several Space Cities was falling, trailing long tails of flame, containing the remains of countless humans, and higher above, the blue shields continually dissipated, one sinister warship after another tore through the sky, plunging into this fallen planet.

This was the final scene of that battle.

Subsequently, lines of text emerged.

[April 25, 2028 AD, the history of humanity was thus changed.]

[The long dark period of the Starry Era began with the complete fall of Blue Star.]

[Once a bringer of hope, the founder of Star Sea Company disappeared without a trace.]

[On May 27, the Earth Federation Headquarters, representing 198 countries worldwide, declared surrender.]

[On the same day, Star Sea Company announced its dissolution.]

[Thirteen billion humans lost their lives in this war.]

[The survivors also lost everything, including dignity, freedom, hope, culture, and history...]

[We did nothing wrong, the only fault was being too weak.]

[...]

[With this video, we remember the beginning of the Starry Era.]

[Made on January 1, 3026 of the Starry Era.]

Watching the lines of text.

Everything returned to the starting point.

He seemed to have changed something, but in fact, changed nothing at all!

In his mind, a sudden inexplicable thought appeared.

Time has a binding nature.

While peering into the future, he also brought destiny into existence.

Shen Shi couldn’t help but ask, can this destiny be broken?

The answer is yes.

The history before him, which has been changed, is the best evidence!

Just...

Give destiny no chance!

Shen Shi gazed at the back of his hand, feeling that the thought that had just emerged in his mind was information given to him by the Time Crystal, and more of a warning.

"Trying to be the changer of fate... it really isn’t that easy." Shen Shi closed his eyes slightly, as if intending to etch this moment of frustration into his heart.

Wait——

Shen Shi suddenly seemed to realize something, examining in great detail the scant history recorded.

Sure enough, it only mentions the Planet Fortress he built, but nowhere mentions the Cosmic Fleet!

Yet Gong Chu said the warships would be delivered soon.

Could this mean...

This version of the future, didn’t fully incorporate the decision he made during his future three thousand years later, nor the transaction conducted?

A sense of realization surged, telling him this hypothesis was correct.

Every use of the Time Crystal is a wobble of fate, the one who wields the Time Crystal wields the power to change destiny, but if he doesn’t keep changing! All will eventually converge to the fate of the beginning.
