Cheng Xin, lost in thought about history, frowned, her heart filled with curiosity and confusion. She couldn't help but ponder: "How could this Earth, so far behind the Trisolaran civilization, have developed to its current technological level without incident? Did the Trisolaran civilization not impose any restrictions on it, or did the sophons fail for some reason?"

She turned to her assistant AA and asked with a hint of doubt, "AA, what do you think about this issue?" AA just smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but instead led Cheng Xin to a huge display screen.

An image of a man appeared on the display screen. He was haggard, covered in grime, and looked exhausted, yet he stood resolutely before a black tombstone. His figure seemed to merge with the tombstone, and the surroundings were silent. However, his eyes seemed to shine with a firm and bright light, standing out exceptionally brightly against the dim background.

………………

At this moment, when readers read this description, this scene immediately comes to mind.

What they saw was Luo Ji, standing in front of Ye Jie's tombstone, holding a simple pistol and a cradle device, having accomplished the first great feat in human history of defeating an alien civilization.

Readers who had been holding their breath for so long finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Ji's heroic deeds have been recorded and continuously broadcast on giant screens, demonstrating the deep respect people of this era hold for him.

In the minds of modern people, Luo Ji is undoubtedly the embodiment of a savior and a hero.

Humanity's gratitude towards him is beyond words; they thank him for his sacrifices and contributions to humanity, without whom there would be no humanity as we know it today.

But just as readers were immersed in the awe of Luo Ji's heroic deeds, the next part of the story left them almost stunned, with some even nearly standing up from their seats in their excitement.

..................

After the video finished playing, Cheng Xin saw a line of text slowly appear on the huge screen:

"In that era, endangering the lives of others was punishable by death."

"Some viewers may wonder why there is such a punishment as the death penalty. Why was this person named Luo Ji sentenced to death?"

"The answer is obvious: endangering one person's life should warrant the death penalty and an equal price. If that's the case, then endangering a few or dozens of people should be even more so. Yet this man has endangered tens of millions, hundreds of millions, even billions of people!"

Hearing what the host on the screen said, Cheng Xin was puzzled. Why would Luo Ji be said like that when he had clearly saved humanity?

AA noticed Cheng Xin's confusion and stepped forward to explain to her, "This video is actually trying to say that humanity nowadays wants to put Luo Ji on trial!"

Cheng Xin's eyes widened: "Why? Why are they putting Luo Ji on trial?"

Ai AA looked at the clip that had restarted on the screen and continued to explain, "Because he broadcast the coordinates to the universe, which led to the destruction of the star marked 182XJ31."

"It is unknown whether there was a declaration on that destroyed star, but it is certain and very likely that there was, which is why it is now accused by humanity of the crime of destroying the world."

"Harming another person's life is the most serious crime under modern law, which is why it is subject to trial. Whether the harm is to life on Earth or in other star systems, one cannot escape the fact that harming another person's life is a crime."

..................

When readers saw this scene, their faces showed deep confusion. Their brows furrowed, and their minds raced with thoughts. But soon, these doubts gradually transformed into boundless anger.

"What's wrong with these Earthlings?" a reader couldn't help but ask loudly, his voice filled with incomprehension and indignation.

"Have they forgotten that it was Luo Ji who saved their planet? And now they want to judge him, their savior?"

Another reader shook his head angrily, disappointed by the actions of the humans on Earth: "I thought that humans in this era had finally become a little more enlightened, but seeing that they are going to put Luo Ji on trial, my goodwill towards them has plummeted!"

Inside the Moman Palace in Fontaine, Funina was also reading this passage. Her eyes widened as she stared at the pages in disbelief, completely stunned.

"I never imagined that the 'justice' I've always respected would be so abused by these humans. They are truly an insult to the word 'justice'!"

Funina's voice was filled with disappointment and anger.

To confirm whether her idea was correct, Fu Ningna reread the first two books of "The Three-Body Problem" and carefully searched for relevant content.

She discovered that before Luo Ji destroyed the star system, he had indeed consulted experts to confirm that there was no life in the vicinity of that star system.

He even used the most advanced technology at the time to observe and analyze, and only after confirming that there was no life did he decide to activate the stellar curse.

But now, seeing these humans using such absurd charges to judge Luo Ji, Fu Ningna felt extremely indignant and disappointed.

At this point, the readers' emotions also fluctuated dramatically as the plot unfolded. They admired Luo Ji's heroic actions, while feeling indignant and disappointed at those humans who wanted to put him to trial.

Her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing deep confusion and bewilderment. "Vilette, what do you think of Luo Ji's actions?"

He didn't even know if there was life on that planet. Wasn't his action to save the entire world?

Her voice held a hint of expectation, hoping to get an answer from Navelette.

As the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, Navelette possessed centuries of experience in trials and had never made a wrong judgment. His words carried unparalleled authority over Funina.

“I believe…” Navelette pondered for a moment, her tone calm yet firm, “Luo Ji is not wrong. This happened decades ago, and judging the situation back then by today’s standards is clearly unfair. Such a charge is obviously untenable.”

He paused, then continued, "But I think this might be a characteristic of the men in this story—once they've gotten through a period of peace, they start looking for new things to do."

At this point, Villette's thoughts suddenly drifted to an event from hundreds of years ago.

At that time, his subordinate Caroline, a Melousin who desperately wanted to integrate into Fontaine society but suffered discrimination, committed suicide to protect him.

It was a corrupt political conspiracy that ultimately pointed to Navelette.

Unexpectedly, Caroline chose to sacrifice herself to protect Navelette.

What is the difference between what the humans in the book are doing and those who killed Caroline for political gain?

A flicker of sadness and anger crossed Navelette's eyes; he knew all too well the cruelty of history and the complexities of human nature.

As Fryna listened to Villette's words, her doubts gradually cleared up, and she also felt the weight of history.
