The Starfield Is Limitless

Wei Lanshan found 99's conflicted expression amusing. It seemed she wasn't always so unfazed; clearly, this torrent of knowledge had overwhelmed her.

Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

99 began to ask, "Doctor, does the Jingsu Alliance interact with other alliances?"

Wei Lanshan replied, "Very rarely. The cost of long-distance travel is too high, and we are simply too far apart from other alliances. Without star charts, spacecraft can easily get lost in the universe."

"And they can be hit by exploding celestial bodies, or fall into unknown spaces from which they might never return, even if they live out their entire lives."

"Therefore, citizens of the Jingsu Alliance only travel or work within their own allied star systems."

"When she came to Tianning Star from Gaia, she heard that star charts for five alliances had been completed. They are probably planning to establish friendly relations with other alliances now."

"All it takes is connecting to the Central Brain to find out."

99 asked, "Then how do you know about the existence of these alliances?"

Wei Lanshan explained, "By capturing various signal sources from deep space, we established signal contact with them and shared information within our respective alliances."

99 pondered Wei Lanshan's words again in her mind. They could detect various sounds from deep space and transmit information through these sounds. What level had their technology reached?

According to civilization classifications, they were likely top-tier.

99 queried, "Physical ability has a limit, but martial arts don't, is that right?"

Wei Lanshan was very pleased. She hadn't expected 99 to be so meticulous in her thinking.

Wei Lanshan affirmed, "Yes, martial arts are endless."

99 then asked, "Where were these martial arts of the alliance inherited from?"

The techniques Wei Lanshan used were very familiar.

In her past life, to protect that person, she had diligently studied martial arts. She knew a little about the various schools and styles of martial arts.

Therefore, 99 was certain that Wei Lanshan's martial arts shared the same origin as hers. She desperately wanted to know who had taught Wei Lanshan these martial arts.

Wei Lanshan explained, "From the more ancient era of Ancient Martial Arts. Back then, humans didn't have the large-scale weapons they have now and could only fight using their own strength. Martial arts were family inheritances, not to be passed on outside the family."

99 thought of Wei Lanshan's astonishing martial arts. She had fought five people and still had energy to spare, which had left 99 gaping in amazement at the time.

Hearing Wei Lanshan's explanation, 99 was convinced she came from an ancient martial arts family.

99 asked, "Shangyue Star is an Ancient Martial Arts star system. Do the alliance's Ancient Martial Arts all originate from this star system?"

Wei Lanshan replied, "Most of them do. A small portion was taught by Li Zhengfeng to his seven disciples, and his disciples then taught their own disciples."

99 stared at Wei Lanshan in astonishment. This woman before her was actually a successor to the disciples of the Nine-Star Marshal Li Zhengfeng.

No wonder she could escape with her, and her strength was astounding. It was likely that no one in the entire Tianning Star System was more powerful than her.

It was almost certain that Li Zhengfeng was from the same place as her, he had just arrived 500 years earlier.

99 inquired, "Are there different ranks among the people in the alliance?"

Wei Lanshan responded, "On the surface, there are no rank distinctions. However, when the Central Brain issues IDs, it does so based on initial mental power and initial physical ability.

In other words, the Central Brain judges a person's identity, but that is not the final standard."

"There is another system that can change one's identity rank," 99 stated confidently.

Wei Lanshan confirmed, "Yes, you are very smart. The Central Brain adjusts the permission level granted by an ID based on each person's contribution to the alliance. For example, my contribution to the alliance is first-class. This contribution value is divided into nine grades, with a super-grade. In the history of the alliance, only the Nine-Star Marshal Li Zhengfeng has received it."

99 asked in confusion, "What counts as a contribution to the alliance?"
