Qingyang was a little bewildered. "Report to the Alliance? A high-dimensional coordinate?"
He recognized every word, but together they felt so unfamiliar.
[Civilizations are infinite, forms are endless. It has been 145,000 Star Sea Years since a Pan-Human Civilization meeting Alliance admission standards was last discovered.] [The Alliance was founded on the principle that all Pan-Human Civilizations qualified for admission are the Alliance's potential kin.] [When a Pan-Human Civilization is discovered in a Dimensional World, the Star Network will activate the reporting procedure.] [Upon reporting to the Alliance, the Alliance will dispatch an army. All effects caused during this period will be counted as the reporter's influence, and the Alliance will grant additional rewards.]
"Confirm report!"
Without hesitation, Qingyang confirmed at once.
[Accessing coordinate data held by the Eternal Truth Fleet anchor point.] [Confirmation complete. The Alliance Army will arrive in one hour.]
An inexplicable anticipation rose within Qingyang. Any Alliance fleet qualified to carry out missions beyond its borders was at least a T6 Fleet.
He wondered what kind of force the Alliance Army entering the Dimensional World would have.
"Commander, all targets have lost combat capability. The operation took one hour. Total shield damage is 31%, and damage to all ships is below 2%," Changxi reported.
Watching the last few Chaka warships self-destruct, Qingyang nodded.
If it had been three hundred elite warships from a Level 4 High-level Civilization, they might have been able to clash head-on with the Eternal Fleet.
The Chaka Civilization?
They were merely average among Level 4 Civilizations.
The communications officer reminded him, "Commander, the fleet has scheduled communication protocols. The Chaka Civilization will react within an hour at most."
Wasn't that perfect?
Qingyang showed no fear. "It's fine. Let them come. It would be best if they brought their entire civilization's army with them."
His greatest backer was about to arrive. Qingyang feared nothing.
"Changxi, connect me to that Seed Ship's communications." Qingyang suddenly remembered that he had yet to meet the client.
"Connecting communications."
A massive virtual screen unfolded, revealing the nervous head of state and the Stan people behind him.
The wreckage of Octopus Mechs could vaguely be seen beside the alloy gate in the distance.
The head of state was uneasy. He had originally assumed that a more advanced civilization wanted to seize precious resources and had therefore attacked the Chaka fleet.
He had never expected this Mysterious Fleet to actually dispatch troops to rescue them.
Unable to make sense of it no matter how he thought, the head of state could only wait for the Mysterious Fleet's response. To his surprise, the Mysterious Fleet really did contact them.
As the image gradually sharpened, the head of state and the many Stan people froze.
The appearance of the civilization on the screen was astonishingly similar to their own!
No!
There were no pores or skin texture, not even the slightest folds of flesh. No bulging veins could be seen either.
Their degree of genetic evolution clearly far surpassed that of the Stan Civilization.
There was even a faint pressure upon their will and spirit, as if they had encountered a higher life-form.
This was the first time the head of state had seen civilized beings so similar to them!
The young captain on the screen, with black hair and brown eyes, swept his gaze over them and nodded. "They are indeed humans. I can't see any differences."
Qingyang was speaking Alliance Common Tongue, the Alliance's official language. Even those who had never heard or spoken it could understand its meaning.
Although Qingyang found that difficult to comprehend, considering the Alliance's scale, it was hardly surprising.
The language of advanced civilizations was surely different from that of ordinary civilizations.
There also seemed to be a research language within the Alliance, where even each individual character could contain vast amounts of data.
The head of state and the others came to their senses and hurriedly bowed slightly. "Greetings, sir of a Powerful Civilization. Thank you greatly for saving us. The Stan Civilization has no way to repay you. If you need anything, just say the word!"
At present, the most valuable thing the Stan Civilization possessed was themselves.
Qingyang did not care in the slightest. "No need for courtesy. Extending a helping hand to a Pan-Human Civilization in distress is what the Star Sea Human Alliance should do."
Humans?
Was that the collective term for beings with their appearance?
Could it be that the human race was immensely vast?!
The head of state's thoughts raced. The Stan people behind him could not help whispering among themselves. It was like refugees from a small nation fleeing disaster suddenly learning that their homeland's kin were actually a world hegemon.
The sudden elevation of their background left everyone completely stunned.
"After some time, the Alliance will dispatch troops to conduct an assessment. You do not need to do anything; just carry on with your affairs. If you pass, the Alliance will accept your civilization into its ranks.
After joining, the Stan Civilization can no longer use its civilization suffix. It must be replaced with the name of a nation."
Qingyang briefly explained what the Stan people needed to do next, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"The Stan people have admirable backbone and will. I hope to hear someday that there is a Stan Nation within the Alliance."
With that, he cut off the communication, leaving the Stan people staring blankly.
After being stunned for a while, the head of state suddenly snapped back to his senses. "Immediately organize personnel to repair the Seed Ship's primary equipment and rescue the injured."
"Understood!"
On the Taiyi, Qingyang happily opened the Star of Truth interface.
Attribute fragments were useless for now. He would look at the Fragmented Star Chart later.
[Potential Optimization: Spirit Optimization, Data Soul] [Optimize? This optimization has no negative effects and will not affect the soul channels.]
"Confirm!"
[Potential Optimization complete. Mental Threshold growth efficiency is expected to increase tenfold. Mental Threshold strength +2.] [Current strength: T8 (Perfection +3)]
Qingyang's mind became icy clear. The information on countless items that he had barely been able to memorize before now seemed to merge into his memories.
He could recall all of it in an instant.
"My Mental Threshold is at least 75% stronger than that of a normal T8 Perfection Epic Commander." Qingyang was deeply amazed.
At T8 Perfection, one could Datafy one hundred ordinary or mid-tier starships, then undergo spiritual ascension to reach the T7 Threshold.
However, a T7 attained through that kind of ascension was only average.
Commanders with even a little ambition would generally condense their Threshold to Perfection +2. A T7 ascended that way would be stronger than ordinary commanders at the same level.
Qingyang did not know much about the specific advantages.
Qingyang sighed. "Even if they were all high-tier ships, I could Datafy forty or fifty of them. Too bad my wallet can't support that."
[Truth Points have reached 1000. Hall of Truth unlocked.] [Hall of Truth—Unable to describe due to data disorder.] [Endless truths lie within. Invest Truth Points to receive Truth feedback. There is a high probability of receiving knowledge or information, and an extremely low probability of obtaining a physical item.] [The Hall of Truth may be entered once every three years. Requires 10,000 Truth Points.] [Addendum 1: Each investment must be no fewer than 500 points. The knowledge received may not necessarily be useful.] [Addendum 2: Any physical item from the Hall of Truth is extremely powerful. Do not use one unless you have reached a certain level.]
Qingyang fell into thought. Randomly granting knowledge—calling it powerful was only so-so, but calling it weak was not quite right either. What if it gave him a Starship Blueprint?
It would be best if it were a T1 model. Even if he could only look at it, it would still lift his spirits.
[Warning! A large number of warship signatures detected nearby. Extreme danger.]
Qingyang closed the Star of Truth interface and headed to the control room.
The star chart was filled with dense red dots, completely surrounding the entire star system. Quite a few of their energy levels were no weaker than the Taiyi flagship's.
The strongest warship had fully reached Star Destroyer Class, and it was not an ordinary Star Destroyer Class vessel.
A planet with a diameter of at least 100,000 kilometers likely would not withstand that ship's attack.
Changxi immediately reported, "A total of 6,530 enemy ships. One War Fortress is among them."
Looking at the colossal object appearing on the screen, Qingyang raised an eyebrow.
"About 1,200 kilometers in diameter, four-pointed-star-shaped, and 100 kilometers tall. It really is a fortress."
Qingyang smiled without the slightest fear.
Because—
[Alliance Army Channel—High-dimensional passage opened.] [TBC7 Mechanical Legion has entered the designated high-dimensional region. Star Destroyer Class signature detected. Determined to be an enemy formation.] [God-Hunter War Star—Online.]
Wuwuwu, I was a little busy today. Normal updates will resume tomorrow.
