Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 251 The Trisolaran Civilization Disappeared

The purge of the Earth Alliance from top to bottom is still ongoing, and Cheng Xin's future still needs to be discussed. However, Lin Xuan is not in a hurry. Logically speaking, the affairs of the Earth Alliance should not be managed by someone who has already left the Earth Alliance.

However, the prerequisite for implementing his next plan is that humanity needs to unite as one. If the Earth Alliance's regime remains in chaos for a long time, it will not only affect the effectiveness of the plan, but may even backfire, causing the originally favorable situation to fall back into a passive state.

"You've been so carefree all these years, just abandoning things as they come. There are rumors that you're dead. To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but as time went on, even I started to believe it to some extent. In the end, your death seemed to have become a fact recognized by the entire Earth Alliance."

Inside the office, Taylor sat across the table with a smile. He and Lin Xuan had known each other for many years, but they hadn't seen each other much during their hibernation.

Both of them are Wallfacers. Although Taylor's Wallfacer trial card expired a bit quickly, Taylor's talent is no less than that of Hines and the others.

"I just encountered some issues and can't get away for the time being."

Lin Xuan didn't want to explain too much. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for an observer like herself to be outmaneuvered by a mere sophon from the Trisolaran civilization.

He had been playing against Zhizi for many years, partly to learn more about the observer from her, and partly because he simply couldn't find a way to break through her restrictions.

In order to pave the way for Zhang Beihai and the others, he cleared out all the shock points he had accumulated over the centuries.

Although he has recovered somewhat, he is still far from having the same level of shock value as when he was at his peak.

"When you're about to be hit, you have to stand up straight." Ever since Zhi Zi tricked her, Lin Xuan has realized that something was wrong with her mindset.

Because he knew the plot, he was able to manipulate the Trisolaran civilization and human civilization at will.

But ever since that game of chess began, the familiar plot had completely collapsed. He was caught off guard and his opponent outmaneuvered him.

Therefore, from now on, his advantage as a time traveler has vanished, and he can only rely on the wisdom he has accumulated over the years to fight against him.

The world is full of heroes, and the Trisolaran civilization did a great job. He had underestimated them before. He thought that even if he was unaware of the plot, he could still manipulate them as easily as before.

It now seems that his wisdom is far from sufficient compared to the entire civilization. Even after integrating the wisdom of most of humanity in the world, he can only be on par with the entire civilization of the other side.

The longer the night, the more things could go wrong. It's time for this battle, which has lasted for many years, to come to a satisfactory conclusion.

"Oh, that's a pity. Lin Xuan, do you know that everyone thought you were dead? So they even held a funeral for you. The Earth Federation Act even designated your funeral day as a public holiday. Now that you've suddenly come back to life, I wonder if the Earth Federation will cancel this day of mourning. If that's the case, it seems like I'll lose three public holidays every year."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan glanced at Taylor.

"You seem to feel quite regretful?"

Taylor saw Lin Xuan's murderous gaze and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, how could I dare!"

"You don't dare? So you mean you actually want me dead, right?"

Seeing Lin Xuan's increasingly dark expression, Taylor had no choice but to wipe his forehead and change the subject.

"What are your plans next? I've heard that you've killed quite a few people since you came back. You've killed off officials from all levels of the Earth Federation, which has caused a lot of frequent official transfers on several administrative planets recently."

No matter the time, the government is a high-speed machine. Lin Xuan may not have killed many people, but pulling out one radish brings out another.

These officials have many entrenched connections below them, so the frequent administrative transfers are actually a result of those below using the opportunity created by Lin Xuan to engage in factional strife.

However, these low-level officials didn't have much influence in the officialdom, so Lin Xuan didn't bother to care what they were doing. If Taylor hadn't brought it up, he probably wouldn't have remembered that such a thing existed.

"What other plans could we have? Of course, we're here to clean up your messes. If the Ringworld isn't successfully built, we'll all just wait to die together," Lin Xuan said irritably.

"You didn't even offer to help. Diaz and his guard have been incredibly busy lately, while you've been leisurely all this time. I seem to remember you used to be the Minister of Defense. Your retirement life is almost longer than you've lived."

Taylor didn't speak, but instead asked Lin Xuan a question.

"Do you think the Dark Forest Strike really exists?"

"What, you doubt the validity of Dr. Luo Ji's theory?"

"It's not that I doubt him, but I always feel that his theory is too narrow. After all, look at us humans, we've also formed a complete social structure, and we haven't developed the Dark Forest Theory!"

"I was just rambling to you, just take it as me making another assumption, that is... is it possible that the Dark Forest Theory has always been a one-sided fantasy of us and the Trisolarans, just like how ancient people believed that the sky was flat and the earth was the same, and that there was actually no such thing as the Dark Forest Theory?"

Lin Xuan did not answer Taylor's question, because he had already seen the best answer.

Above the sky, where the starry sky had been gradually dimming, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

The light was not like a star; it did not twinkle, but rather gradually expanded from the center point.

Although it wasn't at a speed visible to the naked eye, everyone could clearly feel the white light gradually expanding outwards.

Ultimately, it transformed into a second sun in the sky.

Meanwhile, this anomaly quickly drew the attention of the solar system observatory, and after repeated confirmation, they finally reached a conclusion.

The Trisolaran civilization, which had oppressed them for centuries, vanished completely from the world at this moment.
