The Lanpeng people tilted their heads, seemingly trying to discern from Lu Yuan's expression whether he was speaking the truth or lying.
Lu Yuan continued, "But you must understand, dreams are merely illusions. Only by advancing our technological capabilities in the real world can we once and for all resolve this issue."
"So, for those who are willing to come with us, we will grant you treatment equivalent to that of an average human citizen. Not quite as esteemed guests, but certainly as equals."
"We hope you will contribute to the prosperity and brilliance of human civilization."
"We also promise that if, in the future, we can truly repair the distortions on the soul level, we will return here to help the Lanpeng Civilization rise again. At that time, should you wish to leave, it will not be impossible."
This was the promise made by all of humanity.
The Duke of the Lanpeng Civilization, Lord Magmit, had tears glistening in his eyes.
