"It was a slap in the face by telling us we couldn't do it our way, it had be theirs."

What did the galaxy decide to put their faith and hope into in stopping the Reapers?

Advanced technology from the civilization that created the Catalyst. Advanced technology that also made the other prominent race of organic/synthetic beings possible: the Reapers.
