Guen hesitated, then decided to tell them the truth about the Aoyu Empire.
Tucha Planet controlled this planet and used it to cultivate talent. "Mom, Dad, I think you could fit in here too. With Tucha Planet's help, you might be able to return to your homeworld."
But Kolong and Ina shook their heads without hesitation. "We're outsiders, and joining a faction would definitely come with restrictions. It wouldn't be easy to leave, let alone travel such a long distance. But if Tucha Planet controls these planets, that's trouble.

The Aoyu Empire had only two Star Level humans. They were absolute overlords.
