"It seems there's no need to pin hope on me. Wouldn't it be better to control my spiritual energy according to the plans of your higher-ups?"
Brilliant didn't ask how Chen Ming knew about the effects of the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, but instead explained his question: "In fact, our development externally is now frequently facing obstacles."
"The universe is not empty; outside the territory of the Human Empire, there are many dangers, with the Mechanical Race being the greatest among them."
"They limit our development externally, while humans try to break through internally, and we are nearly powerless to resist."
Chen Ming pointed out a problem in Brilliant's words: "Didn't you just win a battle? Wasn't the raiding human fleet severely damaged?"
"But winning this battle is meaningless, and it was only because of a major error in the human fleet's command that we won."
"Meaningless?"
