"The production of Firefly had already begun, and I could not stop it because I could not stay in the Flying Star Sector. However, I could not go to the Heaven's Origin Sector for real, either.
"Both the Flying Star Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector have billions of human beings. There are my family and friends as well as countless compatriots. It would be a complete tragedy if the Blood Stripe went on a rampage in either Sector.
"Perhaps, I could adjust the coordinates of Firefly and made it jump to a desolate, unpopulated Sector?
"But technically speak, it was difficult to achieve.
"Firefly was designed for the short-distance space jump between two neighboring Sectors. By no means could it jump to millions of lightyears away.
"Besides, the adjustment of such a scale would likely have been found out by the control center and the Blood Stripe Virus.
Hi, guys. Welcome to the end of Volume II of FMC. Li Yao’s journey in the Flying Star Sector will be concluded here.
Volume II differs from Volume I in that there are more plots and schemes and fewer straightforward level-ups. Also, the Dark Forest Theory has been elaborated in Volume II, which I have to say makes a lot of sense when you think about it carefully. It is one of the important reasons why the two major villains in Volume II, namely Yan Xibei in the former half and Xiao Xuance in the later half, are justified about they are doing in their own way. They are indeed evil, but it is hard to argue that their ideology is purely groundless. In fact, it is their coldness and pessimistic view of the universe that makes the empathy of Li Yao and the other Cultivators more valuable and heartening. I said at the end of Volume I that the theme of the novel is devotion and sacrifice in my opinion. Right now, I stand by my statement ;).
A lot of suspense has been left at the end of Volume II. The adventure Bai Xingjian who is apparently the upgraded version of ‘Boss Bai’, the details of the Vulture Plan, the upcoming head-on clash with the evil superpower named Imperium of True Human Beings, to name a few. All will be further revealed in Volume III.
But Li Yao has more urgent business at hand right now. The war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector is now in the most heated stage. How is he going to settle the conflict? Are human beings really on the righteous side in the strife? What are demons exactly? Your stereotype about demons will be changed in Volume III. Stay tuned. :)
