Just about everyone has heard of the trolley problem.
As the train approaches, do you do nothing and watch the train crush five kids on the main track, or do you switch the train to another track, crushing one kid on the side track instead?
The variations and answers to this question are diverse and there's no standard answer. And in most cases, you're not the one tied to the tracks nor are you passing by carrying a toilet plunger; it's not your decision to make.
But now, Li Pan truly faced such a dilemma.
Was he to watch as 0791 set off a corporate war, eventually becoming a battlefield for the Celestial realms savaged by the Annihilation Starship fleets, crushing fourteen billion earthlings, or help the Divine Sect shepherd the flock, sacrificing a hundred million to see if there might be a chance or path to life for the others?
