A predicament—Bakedu, the leader of the Protoss, was caught in a two-way predicament.
He was enveloped in immense pressure as a situation he had never expected emerged before him.
The safety and destiny of 1.2 billion Protoss were in the hands of the more than a dozen high officials under his leadership. If he mishandled this, he was likely to become a sinner among the Protoss, and would be faced with severe punishment. After all, the Protoss were not rocks, nor plants that could undergo photosynthesis. Similar to any carbon-based organisms, they needed to eat, drink, and replenish their energy with food. The greater the intensity of their cultivation, the more they would need to eat; even the Protoss of lower orders consumed everyday meals which would be equivalent to three to five for ordinary people. If they did not eat or drink for a long time, they would also starve to death and die of thirst, no differently from human beings.
