The explanation was given in simple terms.
Any minor questions about the wasteland that Su Mo still had were put aside once the conversation reached this point. He stopped asking about the conservative faction and instead brought up a very interesting point.
"Oh right, around the time of the third disaster, I entered some kind of ruins called the ruins of time that brought me back to the first disaster…"
After pondering about it carefully, Su Mo tried his best to describe the ruins of time in as much detail as he could, and then provided his speculations on what that place might be.
Hearing his description, the casual look Jiang Chu's face morphed into a serious one, which had a touch of cautiousness.
"I can guarantee you that those ruins are something that has never appeared before on the wasteland. It's impossible to return to the past. If not, we would have used the knowledge we have now to devise a way to obtain authority. Clearly the game has a hidden motive!"
