"This time, I'd been a little too reckless..."
Li Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Through Legilimency, he discovered that the Precursors were far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Translated into human terms, the Precursors' civilization had one Pope at the top, three Archbishops, ten Cardinals, and over a thousand Ambassador-class members. In terms of population alone, the Precursors were extremely few in number.
However, even the Ambassador-class Precursor he had captured alive could not count the biological weapons manufactured by the Precursors.

Rather, the resources consumed by each Precursor were simply too vast. Unless they occupied a new habitable planet, the Precursors would not increase their population. Several decades ago, their population had been far greater than it was now, but they had suffered a devastating blow back then.
The current Precursors had diminished considerably, yet they remained an immensely powerful civilization.
The only good news was that the Pope of the Precursors was heavily injured and still in slumber.
Speaking of which, the Precursors' devastating setback was related to the Jellyfish People.

Still, they had been ruthless before their defeat, spreading the coordinates of Precursor civilization deep into the universe.
As a result, they successfully drew the expeditionary fleet of another powerful civilization, which dealt the entire Precursor race a crushing blow before withdrawing.
