"Shadow Calamity? From the Starry Sky?" Jiang Ye guessed.
A long time ago, there had been no Shadow Calamities on Blue Star—or anywhere in the solar system.
It was only after Blue Star civilization made contact with the Starry Sky, several hundred years ago, that Shadow Calamities began appearing around the world.
