Historically, it is difficult to have a figure to make historians so embarrassed, "double-faced" Xiao Cheng monopolized this honor, because historians have never been able to make a unified common positioning for him, some people say that he is as good as a god, some people say that he is evil like a devil, whether it is praise or condemnation, since ancient times it has been divided into two factions, both sides cite scriptures, put forward a large number of empirical evidence to refute each other, and the academic community often argues endlessly. ——Excerpt from the popular edition of "General History of the Galaxy", "Double-faced Commander" Xiao Chengjuan, frontispiece

Since the fall of Odin's kingdom, the human world has since entered a precious period of peace for 300 years, which refers to the fact that there is no large-scale war that has swept the galaxy, but the long river of history will not be calm because of this.

More than 300 years later, at the end of 6693, a small turning point quietly appeared in the long river of history, a very ordinary college graduate at the time, his biggest dream in life was to become a starship construction engineer, but because of an unexpected "small mistake" that occurred on an expedition, he fell into the den of star thieves, and since then, he has opened a legendary life that has affected the entire history of human development. ——Excerpt from "The Legend of the Legendary Demon Marshal Xiao Cheng"

Is history the heroes, or is it the heroes who make history? If the first ten years from the beginning of the origin calendar in 6694 were history shaping heroes, then ten years later, it was the era of history and heroes dancing, and in a time span of more than 50 years, legendary heroes, generals, and commanders were produced one after another, and even a small person in that era had a legendary story. —From the end of the General History of the Galaxy, The Final Battle of Mankind

Historians often argue that the "double-faced commander" Xiao Cheng, before the terrifying disaster came, how did he make a choice in a short 5 minutes, in order to save all the trillions of human beings in the galaxy, he had to kill 1.9 billion equally innocent human beings, some people say that he is the savior, and some people say that he is the demon of the world, in any case, killing 1.9 billion innocent human beings has become a stain that cannot be erased in the life of the "double-faced commander" Xiao Cheng.

However, one thing that has been recognized by all historians is that if Xiao Cheng, the "Commander of the Two", had not made that choice on April 24, 6717, the outbreak of the final war of mankind would have been at least 10 years earlier, and it was he who won mankind another precious 10 years of buffer time for peace.

The 31-year-long final war directly led to the collapse of the four superpowers system at the pinnacle of the human world with a history of thousands of years, and the war swept across the galaxy, and in this tragic war to maintain human freedom, it was not any national alliance or any warlord organization that played a decisive role in the final victory, but ten years ago, the "sinner" who killed 1.9 billion human beings - Xiao Cheng.

On the 175th anniversary of the War of Annihilation, interviews with survivors of the Land of Annihilation:

"I remember everything that happened that day vividly...... Ahem...... "The old man half-leaned on the hospital bed, refused the water cup handed by the visitor, straightened himself with great difficulty, and continued in a hoarse voice, "More than 170 years have passed, and I have never been able to forget that apocalyptic scene......

“…… At that time, I was 23 years old, and I was the 19th generation of third-order immigrants from the planet 'Oblivion'...... No, at that time, it was not called the 'Land of Annihilation', it had a beautiful name - 'Bright Star', because its outer atmosphere flowed with abundant dynamic ions, looking at it from outer space, like a brilliant multicolored diamond in the dark, it is unparalleled, it is the most beautiful planet discovered since the beginning of our human space, she is so beautiful, so eye-catching, so fascinating......"

"There are many people on the planet who want to stay and work on the orbital space station in order to appreciate its beauty in space, and I am no exception, at that time, I was a trainee navigator of the Starship Beacon in the long-range orbit space station of the Brilliant Star-1 satellite...... It's a job with a great view of the unpredictable scenery of the 'Bright Star'...... In the border area between the Galactic Federation and the Pangalactic Universe Community's 'Watch Star Field', it was the only mild and habitable planet that had not been affected by the war since the war that lasted for more than 30 years. ”

"Even because of the beauty of the 'Bright Star', the entire star system of R5-S586J where it is located was not attacked, and at that time, there was a view that even if the war burned near the seventh ice-rock planet farthest in R5-S586J, it was a kind of desecration of the miracle star of the 'Bright Star', so when the flames of war burned all the other star systems in the 'Watch Star Field' and even spread to the star fields in the hinterland of both sides,' Naturally, the Bright Star became the only place of hope in the hearts of the people at war, and refugees from far and wide fled their homes in various starships to come to the Bright Star for a new life, and it was a busy day on the space station......"

"I remember that there was one long-range orbit space station and two planetary near-orbit space stations, and every day hundreds of starships of all kinds came and went from all corners of the war land to and from these three space stations, and the square in each space station was crowded with refugees waiting for asylum visas......

“…… Just when everyone was praying for an early end to the war, peace to come, and a return to their homeland, disaster struck...... Yes, it was April 24, 6717 in the Origin Calendar, an inauspicious date when all the space detectors of the R5-S586J star system simultaneously sounded regional space fluctuations caused by the space jump of a supermassive mass object of unknown origin, which in turn triggered a dimensional space tide, forcing us to urgently close the stargate to our R5-S586J star system to avoid the catastrophe of space-time collapse......"

"Common sense tells us that only flagship-level starships have the engine for autonomous space jumping between star fields, and ordinary conventional starships can only make short-distance jumps within star systems, and then travel to and from different star systems, constellations, and star fields through stargates...... It's just that in R5-S586J, only the 'Jedi' Star Carrier and the 'Perseus' Star Carrier and the two 'Star Class' Dreadnought-class starships have the ability to independently space jump, but even if they jump to the 'Bright Star' together, the space fluctuations caused by them are far less than one-third of the space fluctuation equivalent that day! This is beyond our common sense...... We don't have to guess any more......"

“…… Unthinkable...... Unforgettable...... A huge shadow shrouded the upper biosphere of the long-range orbit space station of the satellite where I was located, and everyone looked up at the behemoth in shock, you know, the axis of the space station we are on is about 45 kilometers long, and the top biosphere is about 11 kilometers in diameter, but it is completely obscured by the monster-like behemoth, and there is no end in sight......"

The energy shield device on his surface seemed to be completely damaged, revealing the scarred original dark gray metal armor, and even two shocking holes with a diameter of several hundred meters, the torn armor was twisted and flashed with electric light all over the vicinity of the hole, it was hard to imagine what kind of trauma would make it hurt like this, and no one knew, what this behemoth was? Where did it come from? What to do here? Panic quickly spread through the space station, and all space-time communication messages were actively intercepted by it and could not be sent. ”

"That was the first time I experienced the fear of the unknown, I tried to send a communication request to it through the navigation console, but I didn't expect it to be connected, the sound over there was very noisy, but I still remember it clearly, it was a low, slightly hoarse man's voice, it seemed to have been heard somewhere, but it was too late to think about it at the time. He said: 'It's all the fault of this war, it's all a conspiracy, I have to come and end this catastrophe, there is no other choice, my guilt will not be forgiven, but I have to do it...... You will have an hour to escape from death......'"

"Communication was cut off, and my colleagues and I around me didn't understand what he was talking about, but, very quickly, we understood what he was trying to do, and the sirens in the starship beacon navigation room went off again, 'The target is doing ultra-high energy gathering!'" This is...... This is a sign of the Doomsday Weapon launch! This, this is the other side! Our navigator captain shouted in a trembling voice, 'He's going to destroy the Bright Star!' We're done! ’”

"There were five people in the navigation room, a team leader, three full-fledged navigators, and me and another trainee navigator. Everybody was stunned, you know, the end of the world, and this is going to happen right in front of us, and we're all stunned. The captain jumped up and began to sound the alarm over and over again to the Shining Star capital, and communication restrictions were lifted. In the panic, I had forgotten the specifics, but the people on the planet hadn't figured out what was going on. No one believed our words......"

"No one believed that anyone would attack this place because the army had not given us any warning...... I tried to call the police to my family, but found that the civilian communication channel was still blocked by the energy tide caused by the gathering of Doomsday weapons...... In an hour, there were 1.9 billion people on the 'Bright Star', and only more than 30,000 people left the 'Bright Star' on hundreds of starships...... "The old man's emotions became more and more excited, but once again stopped the visitors and medical staff from moving.

"An hour later, a dazzling giant wave of orange energy was launched from the behemoth overhead towards the 'Bright Star'. The navigation room suddenly fell silent. Ten seconds later, there was a dull 'bang' from the planet's communicator, and the communication was completely interrupted, and the five of us stared blankly at the 'bright star' in the distance, the beautiful diamond, first as if it had been smashed by a giant hammer, the light spread out into space, revealing the original color of the dark green planet - the 'bright star' land area accounted for 70%, like a dream, and it was like the veil was suddenly lifted, and I actually had it at that time. Is this what the Bright Star is?' and for the next few minutes, it seemed that nothing had happened to the 'Bright Star' except for the diamond shell being shattered, and a fluke thought flashed through my mind, 'Could it be that the Doomsday Weapon failed to launch?' After all, it seems that the other side of the ship has been badly damaged, but the scene in front of me interrupted my naïve thoughts......

The old man's voice suddenly lowered, his whole body trembled, and he raised his trembling hands to cover his cheeks, tears running down his fingers.

"I'm sorry, maybe we shouldn't have come over today to ask you."

"Nope! More than one hundred and seventy years! I've been silent about it, I'm running out of time, I have to ...... We must tell it, tell the tragedy...... Don't let that happen again...... Don't," the old man gasped violently, his hoarse voice tried his best to shout, but he couldn't, and refused the doctor's action next to him, and his somewhat cloudy eyes pleaded, "Let me finish...... Let me finish......"

"The dark green surface of the planet slowly split apart before our eyes as if an eggshell had been shattered, the green color gradually disappeared, and the surface of the 'Bright Star' was obscured by the smoke and dust ejected from the lava inside, and the dark red light appeared...... 'Bright Star' was destroyed. 1.9 billion people! At 12:11 p.m., my parents and fiancée, who live in the capital, must be watching the federal news and eating as usual......"

"Old Man's ......"

"Don't say anything more, just listen to me...... After the destruction of the 'Bright Star', the gravitational force changed dramatically, and the two space stations anchored in near-orbit were torn apart by the huge gravitational changes. The Bright Star' fell, but there were still tens of thousands of people who managed to escape on the starship, and then, the other side of the ship that barely launched the doomsday weapon lost all its energy, and the metal behemoth and the space station of more than 20 kilometers gradually squeezed each other, and in despair, we didn't escape, and finally we only remembered being crushed by the collapsed metal roof below, and everything was lost, and I felt that it was okay to die like this. But I didn't expect to be rescued...... Later, I learned the name of the demon that killed 1.9 billion innocent people - Admiral of the Pangalactic Universe Community, Xiao Cheng! ”
