Zhang Fan had never thought he would return to the planet Centaurus M3...
More than two thousand years had passed by the time he set foot on this pale blue planet again. Looking back, those two millennia seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, and old memories rose unbidden.

Nexis suddenly said, "We've finished searching the entire Milky Way, but found no trace of the Qiya people. They're probably a species from another galaxy."

Shusha suggested, "Could that have been only their forward base?"
"I remember Minerva mentioning the Qiya People, which means they exist now."
But Shusha suddenly said, "The problem is that we're in the Milky Way
