Chapter 41Righteousness in One’s Heart

　　In the just-concluded ground war, the casualties of the Pleiades star fleet were heavy.　　For safety reasons, the "Quantum" flagship hastily retreated to space outside the atmosphere.　　The Scholar sat alone in the spacious command room, silently gazing at the quiet stars outside the spacecraft—　　The stars in the universe remained brilliant and dazzling.　　But every galaxy was collapsing toward the center of the universe at an accelerating rate, and the distance between every planet was getting closer.　　The Scholar picked up a cup of tea but did not drink it, feeling deeply anxious inside.　　The decisive battle of the fortress had ended in complete failure. The Pleiades star headquarters would certainly investigate the Scholar's responsibility.　　The key issue was that the collapse of the universe was imminent.
