Wang Wen sighed deeply. "This isn't giving up. It's being sensible. One Fishing Civilization is already enough to make you despair, isn't it? And now there's more than one. If a Fishing Civilization really is behind the Bug Nest Civilization, then forget the Heavenly Origin Universe—the Nine Heavens Universe is done for too. What's the point of fighting? Let's run."
Lu Yin looked at Wang Wen intently. "We can't run. We can only fight with our backs to the wall."

"Actually, it's not like we have no options," Wang Wen said.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Go on."
Wang Wen thought for a moment. "Why is the Unknown so determined to attack Human Civilization? And why is the Bug Nest Civilization so determined to attack Human Civilization? Is it just because the Fishing Civilization wants to wipe out every civilization it encounters? If so, then the Kantian Clan and the civilizations it draws here won't escape either."

Lu Yin shook his head. "That'll be difficult. The Unknown must have made preparations if it's confident it can draw that civilization here."
"There's no such thing as a foolproof plan. But to figure out what to do, we need to know what civilization the Kantian Clan has drawn here, what it wants, and how it views the Unknown and the Bug Nest Civilization. In short, there are two things that matter most right now."
"First, prepare a way out. Run."
"Second, intelligence.
