Mr. Mu sighed helplessly. It was true: the more urgently the Unknown invited Lu Yin to join, the more it proved how great a threat he posed. If he refused, it might not be just Lan Meng who attacked Human Civilization.

A single member of the Unknown, hidden within Human Civilization, had threatened all of Human Civilization with just one sentence.
So how extensive was the Unknown's understanding of the Cubic Distance, and how much of it had they laid claim to?
How many civilizations could they use? Previously, Human Civilization had been able to develop in peace because Qi Xu's death had been kept secret—and, more importantly, because the Unknown had ignored them and simply didn't care. That was no longer the case. They had officially attracted the Unknown's attention. With the Unknown targeting them, Human Civilization was on the edge of a cliff.
They either had to be so weak that no one cared about them, or rise to the top and become invincible. Being caught in between was the worst, but it was also an unavoidable path.
