Two hundred years of history could not be explained in a few words, especially when the survivors on this planet had not only forgotten the Human Alliance's language, but even lost its written script.
However, Ye Shi was surprised to discover that although these forest people were practically illiterate, they still had their own way of recording their culture and history.
