The War to Save the Red Planet

"It's really you." Mu Xuan frowned. "You woke up after all."

"Woke up?" The man smirked. "I have never gone into hibernation. Mu Xuan, I'm not you. I wasn't given that luxury. For the past million years, I have never been at peace. So how could I have slept?"

"After all these years... you still haven't put it behind you?"

"No!" He shook his head. "As you mentioned, a million years have passed, so how could I have not put it behind me?" He lowered his head to glance at the Red Planet, his gaze cold and unfeeling. "I just understood that immortality is a curse, and because of it, I have been in pain for a million years. Soon, all of them will walk down my path."

"You want to wipe out the entire race?"

"I just want to free them from this endless life." The man's gaze turned colder as he looked at Mu Xuan while articulating his words clearly. "Besides, they will feel the same way soon, just like... the me from before."

"They are not you."
