Lil Pea was waving at the Cortex Prime with an innocent smile on her face. She could never understand what "different lifeforms" meant and simply took the thinking, speaking pillar before her as a new friend. And surprisingly, the Cortex Prime responded to her.
Hao Ren held Lil Pea tightly in his arms as he looked down at her. Before they went there, he noticed that Lil Pea was acting a little weird and had asked her what was wrong. Lil Pea's intelligence had yet to mature, and she could not clearly define what she felt, but after some deductions, Hao Ren could vaguely understand the truth.
Lil Pea had sensed the impending fall and doom of a race, and this race was probably the humans within the Inevitable Palace. Not only that, it had something to do with the damage to the Cortex Prime.
