Chapter 65: The Path Ahead

Lu Yuanming brought back not only the obliterated core consciousness of that race, but also purely mechanical decisive words, which rid humanity of the fear of being targeted by a Second Level Cosmic Civilization, and also revealed the history and eventual fate of this cosmic civilization.
