Fake Civilization

[Non-local omniscience, but can't figure out where it comes from. When historical tracer Fang Jue was investigating the memories of his ancestors, he discovered an impossible technology - drought-resistant crops "independently invented" by Dawn and Dusk Stars, a full seven years before contact with alien heritage. Seven years is enough for a civilization to turn lies into faith. When the 60 billion immortals launched a civilization-wide investigation, they peeled off the cocoon along the lines of the carvings on the bottom of the cup, the harmonics in the soil, and the geometric codes of the Dark Star craftsmen before they suffocated, and finally discovered: They are not evolvers. They were carefully fed for a billion years by another dead civilization - fakes. And the nameless deceased who carved "Don't look into it" on the designer's tombstone had already seen through the outcome of this scam long before they looked up at the stars. "Even if the root is fake, the dent is real." ——General convenor of Morning and Evening Star·Lao et al.
