The Dark Space was as colorful as ever.
In the Taiyi's control room, Qingyang was studying the star map route.
Although the departure point was outside the Alliance's territory, the journey to the border was still extremely long, passing through a large number of ordinary and elite nations. Therefore, the Star Gates and Star Rings were too scattered.
The distance between many Star Gates was hundreds or even thousands of light-years, and the Star Ring Channels became scarcer the closer they got to the border.
In the end, only key strategic areas would have military Star Ring Channels!
There was no other way; the most numerous nations within the Alliance were ordinary nations, followed by elite nations.
Only by entering the ranks of major nations would they truly enter the Alliance's view, and at the same time, they would receive substantial funding and assistance from the Alliance.
Star Gates and Star Ring Channels were just the most basic support projects among them.
As for ordinary and elite nations, they only received basic welfare from the Alliance, such as various optimizations for newborn infants, basic transcendent knowledge, and basic medical education.
The welfare and environmental treatment they enjoyed far surpassed Level 5 or Level 6 civilizations outside the Alliance, even though their civilization level was only Level 4 or 5.
Even higher-tier elite nations were only equivalent to Level 6 civilizations, which could be considered not weak outside the Alliance.
Even a Level 5 civilization could dominate a region and have dozens of Level 4 civilization subordinates, acting as local emperors.
However, within the Alliance, the most ordinary major nations had the strength to annihilate a Level 7 civilization.
Level 7 civilizations were advanced civilizations that mastered dimensional technology.
In the Alliance, the promotion of nations depended not only on Merit and Starfleet strength but also on another factor—collective will and Spirit!
Most of the ordinary and elite nations within the Alliance were Pan-Human, with a variety of bloodlines and skin colors.
They were basically descendants of other Pan-Human civilizations encountered by the Alliance during its countless years of expansion.
The Four Super Nations and the strong nations that initially formed the Alliance basically originated from the same homeworld and possessed their own group Soul Meridians!
Much of the fortune and foundation of the vast civilization known as the Star Sea Human Alliance lay within these groups.
The remaining small portion was distributed among various major nations, and many powerful major nations were established by humans who had branched off from some strong nations.
In addition, most major nations were established by groups whose souls had been sublimated to be close to Native Humans, after being optimized generation after generation by the Alliance's civilization rules.
As for this Native Human, it was naturally the standard set by the Four Super Nations and the numerous strong nations.
The Alliance's fortune was incredibly powerful; even if only a tiny portion covered a nation, all sorts of Prodigies and talented individuals would emerge continuously, and technological breakthroughs would not be too difficult.
The development speed would increase by hundreds of times!
Even the average talent would be optimized generation after generation, which was the gap between major nations and those below them.
Of course, ordinary and elite nations would also be subtly optimized in their souls.
The closer the collective will and Spirit were to the Native Human standard, the faster this optimization speed would be, and similarly, the faster the development speed would be.
Eventually, they would become new major nations.
Only by becoming a major nation could they feed back into the Star Sea Human Alliance and enhance its overall foundation.
Most of the Alliance Army was selected and formed from various major nations, with the primary responsibility of expanding the Alliance's territory and fighting against other civilizations.
The Four Super Nations and strong nations had to face the true dangers and horrors of the Great Cosmic Era—the Cosmic Wasteland and some mysterious entities.
Under the influence of the Alliance's civilization rules, major nations and above could not betray the Alliance; their citizens could even be immune to any mental pollution and collective seduction.
Most ordinary and elite nations would not betray the Alliance, though there was a small portion that could not be determined.
These were all things that were common knowledge among the Alliance.
Therefore, every time an elite nation was promoted to a major nation, the entire circle of ordinary and elite nations would become lively for a while.
Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but mutter, "Native Human, could it be Earth humans?"
"Earth?"
Guxue vaguely caught the word and leaned closer, blinking her eyes.
"That seems to be the most ancient name for the Alliance's homeworld. Only high-level officials of strong nations and people from the Superpowers call it that. You can't find it on the internet at all. If my father hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. How did Brother Qingyang know?"
"..."
Qingyang fell silent for a moment, but he already had a similar guess in his heart and wasn't too shocked.
"Ah, I'm originally from the Kyushu Republic."
"What?!! Brother Qingyang, you got a Kyushu visa!? What did you do?? The Stan Civilization? That's not enough either."
Guxue's eyes widened in disbelief.
Qingyang calmly replied, "No, I mean, I have a Kyushu Soul Meridian."
"No wonder your talent is so good; you're actually a Native Citizen of Kyushu," Guxue said with a dazed expression after finally digesting the information.
Native citizens of strong nations and superpowers did not need identity documents; verifying their Soul Meridian was sufficient.
Qingyang suddenly became curious, "What kind of Soul Meridian does the Tianxing Empire have?"
"The Tianxing Soul Meridian. We are not from the Earth human lineage. We appeared in the Alliance's Second Era and also belong to the early Alliance."
It's said that Kyushu was founded by some ancestors and a powerful human civilization, only gaining Soul Meridians and becoming a Strong Nation in the third era of the Alliance."
Guxue spoke, her bright eyes fixed on Qingyang.
People from Superpowers rarely appeared in the outside world. New Starship Commanders almost always trained in trial areas on their own territory.
Once they became strong, they would go to the frontiers or the borders of the Wasteland to fight.
Even she had only met Kyushu diplomats a few times.
Shifting his gaze away slightly unnaturally, Qingyang couldn't stand Guxue's stare.
Why does it feel like she's looking at a rare animal?
But speaking of which, the Star Sea Human Alliance seems to be a super-powered version of the United Nations?
Besides the Superpowers, the Alliance held command over everything, including Strong Nations. In the Earth era, countries were nations, but in the Great Cosmic Era, human nations were more like regions and lower administrative units.
And the Alliance was no mere figurehead; the military systems of all the major nations were built within the Alliance Army system.
The organizational structure of the major nations' armies had to be formed according to the Alliance's specifications, and after formation, they had a second identity besides belonging to their respective nations.
They were the Alliance Army!
Command authority rested with the Alliance, above all the major nations. The Alliance was responsible for assigning strategic tasks and overall direction, while the major nations could only command within that strategic scope.
This strategic scope was the war zone module on the frontier, with different levels of war zones corresponding to enemy forces of different strengths.
In addition to this, the Alliance Army had its own elite legions, each possessing terrifying strength comparable to that of an established major nation's military.
There were even ace legions whose strength rivaled that of a regular Strong Nation.
Apart from the Alliance Army, which represented the mid-tier strength of human civilization, the high-end military power was primarily concentrated in the Strong Nations.
They usually expanded into more valuable territories in the Cosmic Wasteland and defended against certain unclear enemies.
The Void Zerg were just one of them.
Of course, the explored universe was also vast, nurturing countless civilizations, and the Star Sea Human Civilization occupied only a small region.
The main responsibility of the Alliance Army was to handle issues within the explored regions and face the challenges of innumerable civilizations!
As for how such a vast system was managed, that would be the Star Net.
This was no mere virtual data network; in some aspects, it could be considered a rule-level ability.
The most basic aspect was this: wherever the Star Sea Human Alliance Civilization's fortune resided, the Star Net would exist!
The Alliance's laws, command, security, welfare, and communication were all executed through the Star Net.
Therefore, no nation could violate Alliance regulations. If they violated them one second, the Starfleet would be at their doorstep the next.
It could be said that the Star Net was the artificial application of civilization's rules and fortune.
There were many aspects that Qingyang didn't fully understand, but the general situation was enough to make him feel the Alliance's power.
