Features: Traditionally, the past is history, and yesterday is history. However, Isaac Asimov was different. His Foundation series wrote about "the history of the future," "the history of a distant future," and "the history of tomorrow!" Asimov, this "historian of the future," this "American Sima Qian," used an "epic" brushstroke and the grand chapters of the Foundation series to narrate the thrilling and story of the "Galactic Empire," the "Foundation" (often simply called "the Foundation"), the Second Foundation, and that of the "Mule," dedicating the "history of the future" to the readers in a vivid manner. Asimov's science fiction always introduced refreshing fantastical elements, becoming a model for later science fiction. The reason why masters are masters lies in their ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary with a single stroke. His three major series—the Robot, Empire, and Foundation—each have their own "charm," and even now that we are very familiar with his works, we still cannot help but admire his creativity back then. The Second Foundation is the last in the Foundation trilogy. The existence of the mysterious Second Foundation becomes the target of everyone's focus. The Mule seeks to eliminate it, while the settlers of the Foundation must find it for a completely different reason. But where exactly is it? This story is a legend of various factions searching for the Second Foundation. The Mule exhausts all efforts to find and eliminate the Second Foundation but fails. Subsequently, the Foundation people also go to great lengths to search for the Second Foundation, as they refuse to let the establishment of a new empire be handed over to others. Unexpectedly, the clues to the search are tied to a young girl. Thirteen-year-old Adeptia is terrified; what secret about the Second Foundation did she discover?
