Qingyang leaned back in the captain's chair and smiled.

He hadn't expected this Dimensional World adventure to come with a blockbuster movie. Not bad.

As the Chaka Civilization's elite main fleet closed in, Qingyang's smile grew clearer.

However, the Stan people aboard the Seed Ship fell into panic, their eyes filled with terror as they stared at the enormous Chaka fleet on the screen.

This was the very fleet that had wiped out the Stan Civilization at its peak!

It was the nightmare of every Stan person.

"Wh-what do we do, Supreme Leader?" The adjutant gripped the gun at his waist and asked with difficulty.

The Supreme Leader noticed that the Eternal Fleet had not moved at all. He took a deep breath. "It's fine! Since this powerful human fleet hasn't left, it means the situation is still within their control."

[This is the Third Legion of the Chaka Civilization. Unknown warships ahead, hand over the Stan fleet. We do not wish to become enemies with you.]

[Repeating once more.]

Qingyang, who had been calling the crew over to watch the show, raised his head with an amused expression.

Enemies?

They really were arrogant.

[Final warning.]

Buzz—

A tremendously powerful data wave suddenly spread outward from the star system, interrupting the communications of the Chaka Third Fleet.

Even the energy circuits of countless Chaka warships flickered on and off.

The Chaka commander froze. Then, an indescribable fear gradually filled his heart.

Behind the Eternal Fleet and the Seed Ship, space dozens of thousands of kilometers away trembled slightly. Then, an incomparably massive spherical construct gradually materialized from nothing!

Enormous energy circuits spread across its surface. Hundreds of gigantic prismatic orbital constructs surrounded it, while three ring-shaped constructs encircled the sphere. Pale blue, pale yellow, and countless other energy circuits wound across it, making it resemble a work of cosmic art!

Twenty thousand kilometers in diameter, it leaked no energy level at all, yet its terrifying pressure left the Chaka fleet utterly bewildered.

Qingyang, who had also sensed the surrounding cosmic environment suddenly brighten, turned back in confusion and was instantly dumbfounded.

Staring at the terrifying construct, which rivaled a planet in size, he was overwhelmed with shock.

Then, tens of thousands of dazzling warships emerged around that planet-like construct. Even the most basic among them emitted energy fluctuations in the tens of thousands.

And it was not just one. Across the vast star system, dozens of such terrifying constructs appeared one after another.

Spatial fluctuations surged violently throughout the star system, even triggering particle tides from the central star.

The Alliance Army's active-duty anti-planet conventional equipment—the God Hunter War Star!

A total of twenty God Hunter War Stars appeared, followed by countless shuttle-shaped warships roughly five thousand meters long, nearly filling the Taiyi's detection range.

[Star Network local server connecting.] [Star Network scan mode activated. Scanning this Dimensional World.] [Diameter: approximately 302,100 light-years.] [Number of civilizations: 7,380 (interstellar civilizations).] [Pan-Human Civilization: 1 (population: over 63 million).] [Assessing the Collective Will level of this human civilization.] [Assessment passed.]

Qingyang stared blankly at the God Hunter War Star behind the Taiyi, a construct that looked like a divine miracle. The excitement in his heart was beyond words.

It was fucking awesome!

[Star Network communication request.]

Without hesitation, Qingyang immediately accepted.

A meticulous officer instantly appeared on the screen. "Commander Qing, thank you for your contribution to the Alliance. Aside from military merits and additional rewards, the Alliance will help you fully assimilate this Dimensional World.

"This process may take several years. Please wait patiently."

The real bulk of the reward would come after this Dimensional World had been fully assimilated—the evaluation rewards from the Great Universe and the Alliance.

But how could a world three hundred thousand light-years across be fully assimilated in only a few years?

Qingyang was somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, inside a war star.

Several meticulous officers began making arrangements.

"Immediately relocate these Pan-Humans into the war star's Ring World. Conduct cultural outreach and basic knowledge education. By the time the world's assimilation is complete in a few years, they will be able to enter Alliance society."

"The assimilation policy for this world has been established!"

The officer in the main seat remained calm. "Other than the Stan people, this world contains no human civilizations. Implement the efficient processing plan!"

"Directly attack this world's core regions and eliminate every Overlord Civilization in this world."

"Now, I declare the activation of Dimensional World war mode. Randomly send this world's military anchor point to ten thousand T7 Fleets, two hundred T6 Fleets, and five T5 Fleets! Assist in the operation!"

The other officers immediately straightened. "Yes!"

Boom!

A war star's orbital weapons fired dozens of lances of light, sweeping directly across the distant Chaka fleet.

There was no resistance, not even a ripple. Even the shields of that interstellar fortress only flickered a few times before shattering completely.

The massive interstellar fortress, as huge as an asteroid, disintegrated in an instant. Explosions rose, and the expanding Energy Storm vaporized the overwhelming majority of the Chaka warships!

Then, the God Hunter War Stars and dense mechanical warships warped away. If one could see their warp trails—

One would discover that these war stars were all charging toward the dozens of Level 5 Civilizations at the very center of this Dimensional World!

Only one God Hunter War Star remained behind, connecting the dumbfounded Seed Ship to its Ring World, while thousands of warships patrolled nearby.

Before Qingyang could even react, the star system had become empty once more.

Only that God Hunter War Star remained where it was, radiating dazzling brilliance.

After silently exchanging glances with Guxing and the others, Guxue's eyes suddenly lit up. "The Alliance Army may have gone to the central region of the Dimensional World. There are quite a few civilizations there. How about we go fish in troubled waters?"

"The strategic stockpiles of Level 4 and Level 5 Civilizations should be extremely helpful to the Eternal Fleet. At the very least, we can trade them for plenty of resources to manufacture starships."

Guxing also offered his suggestion.

Qingyang's eyes brightened. Right, fish in troubled waters!

The Alliance Army definitely would not care. If they encountered danger, they could just warp near a God Hunter War Star and hide!

Safe and exciting.

He decisively opened the regional Star Network established by the Alliance Army. "Search for the coordinates of this world's central region."

[Approximate coordinates displayed.]

"Warp immediately. Dark Space navigation!"

Dark Space was everywhere, permeating the depths of the main universe and every Dimensional World.

The Eternal Fleet immediately vanished.

As for the Supreme Leader and the other Stan people, they stepped off the Seed Ship with overwhelmed expressions, curiously observing the breathtaking environment of the Ring World.

The Supreme Leader stared blankly at the radiant war star before him and the powerful warships roaming around it.

Thinking of the countless compatriots the Stan Civilization had lost over the years, of the predecessors who had entrusted the Stan Civilization to him in their final moments, and of how they had once despairingly prepared to face destruction, his legs went weak.

He was not afraid. It simply felt like a dream, and he feared that everything before him was merely a fantasy before death.

Yet everything around him told him that the Stan Civilization had survived, and that they seemingly would never need to worry about the threat of war again.

He looked around at his people changing into special clothing and watched countless wounded soldiers rapidly recover under the treatment of the mysterious human Alliance.

Gazing at the dreamlike surroundings, the Supreme Leader could not help but reveal a long-lost smile.

"Hello, sir. We need your name and position to register information on the Stan people's upper ranks." A receptionist approached the Supreme Leader.

The Supreme Leader came back to his senses, smiled, and spoke softly.

"My name is Chuck Kaise, the final navigator of the Stan people."

The receptionist paused, then revealed a gentle smile.

"No. You are Chuck Kaise, the first founder of the Star Sea Human Alliance's Stan Nation."

Regular update, everyone.
