An Interesting Civilization

They did not remain long in the Border Star Region between the two top-level civilizations.

Once the Wizard Civilization legions brought by Saine had assembled, they swiftly advanced toward the Capricorn Empire.

Befu also accompanied them on this journey.

After concluding her meeting with Oren, the leader of the Nine Stars Civilization, Befu did not immediately return to the Wizard Civilization through the Interstellar Teleportation Array.

Instead, she would next travel with them to the Capricorn Empire's capital planet.

However, Befu would not personally head to the Metal Graveyard War Zone.

It was not because she feared battle. Befu was an extremely busy person. Beyond the affairs of the Demon Subjugation Alliance, the Wizard Civilization had a mountain of matters requiring her attention.

Having led the Wizard Civilization for more than a hundred thousand years and successfully guided it to victory in the Galente Federation War, Befu was deeply revered throughout the Wizard Civilization.

Even God King Odin of the Titan God Race and Blade Queen Lisa of the Zerg held this Elder Sister in immense respect.

Eldest Sister was Eldest Sister!

Befu might not have been particularly outstanding in terms of strength, but the Wizard Civilization truly could not function without her.

In the current Wizard Civilization, only Befu could temporarily coordinate the internal relations of the Wizard Civilization and the various planar powers of the Wizard Alliance.

She also handled diplomacy with other top-level civilizations across the star regions exceptionally well.

If Befu were gone, could they really have Master Douglas, that old bag of bones, come back out and shoulder the burden again?

Naturally, there was no shortage of especially outstanding True Spirit Dominators within the Wizard Civilization.

But no one could devote themselves as wholeheartedly as Befu did.

Spatial transportation within the Capricorn Empire's star region was extremely convenient.

The Galente Federation had developed spatial wormhole technology, while the Capricorn Empire relied more heavily on "Starry Sky Gate" technology.

Starry Sky Gate technology seemed to employ extraordinarily complex Space Folding techniques.

Whether it was a Dominator-class Being as immense as Blood River Grand Warlord Nair Wen Yinke, or the Thunder God Fortress Group controlled by Saine, both remained exceptionally stable while passing through such Starry Sky Gates.

It was said that the energy expenditure was several percentage points lower than that of the Space Teleportation Arrays currently used by the Wizard World, as well as the Galente Federation's wormhole technology.

Among the Wizard Civilization legions arriving alongside Befu was a contingent of roughly twenty thousand Galente Federation scientists.

These Federation scientists were dispersed among the various Space Fortresses occupied by the Wizard Civilization army.

Their publicly stated role was to assist with the maintenance of the Space Fortresses.

In particular, more than five thousand Federation scientists were mixed among the Underworld creature legions under the Blood River Grand Warlord, blending in with those murky-auraed Underworld creatures.

One of the important missions of these Federation scientists, who had concealed their identities and integrated into the Wizard Civilization army, was to help the Wizard Civilization gather more technological information regarding the Capricorn Empire.

Any scientific technology that the Wizard Civilization could directly make use of would simply be taken and put to use.

As for technologies that could not be directly appropriated—especially cutting-edge technologies that could not be deciphered in the short term—these Federation scientists would compile them, after which the Wizard Civilization's professional team led by Befu would enter detailed negotiations with the Capricorn Empire.

The cooperation between the Wizard Civilization and the Capricorn Empire was by no means limited to military, commercial, and trade fields.

It also encompassed cooperation and technological sharing in the field of science and technology.

As for why the Wizard Civilization, a magical civilization, would be interested in technological power?

That was not something the Wizard World needed to explain to the Capricorn Empire.

Through continued contact and exchanges with the Wizard Civilization, these alien star region civilizations would gradually come to understand what kind of civilization the Wizard Civilization truly was.

Wizard Civilization spellcasters would be interested in any Truth Arcana technology that could benefit them!

Even Flame Queen Gali of the Ebarute Empire had voluntarily applied to come to the Demon Subjugation Alliance Battlefield this time.

She wished even more to make contact with the Yan Emperor Divine Clan.

Perhaps the fire element arcana mastered by the Yan Emperor Divine Clan could help Master Gali advance another step beyond her current realm.

The outstanding and convenient spatial technology allowed Saine and the others to reach the outskirts of the Metal Graveyard only a few years after entering Capricorn Empire territory.

As the weakest and youngest of the Demon Subjugation Alliance's "former Three Giants," the Capricorn Empire naturally possessed the smallest star region territory.

Since war had broken out with the Evil Tide Civilization and continued until today, nearly half of the Capricorn Empire's star regions had fallen into Fallen Zones or war zones.

The remaining half of the Capricorn Empire's star region territory was even smaller than the Galente Federation's territory at its peak.

One could well imagine how difficult the Capricorn Empire's current circumstances were.

However, the will to resist throughout the Capricorn Empire remained abundant and passionate.

After receiving the Wizard Civilization's consent, the Capricorn Empire even began widespread propaganda, announcing that its close friend, its most steadfast strategic partner, the powerful Wizard Civilization, had dispatched legions to fight side by side with the Capricorn Empire's fleet groups with all their strength!

Moreover, a short video of the Underworld legions moving through the starry sky somehow found its way onto the Capricorn Empire's networks, becoming known throughout its middle and lower social classes.

In this short video, which lasted less than five hourglasses, one frame happened to capture the Dominator-class Being—Blood River Grand Warlord Nair Wen Yinke.

For the vast majority of middle- and lower-class creatures in the Capricorn Empire, Nair Wen Yinke, with his towering size and life level as high as a Dominator's, was a majestic existence beyond their comprehension and beyond anything they could encounter in their entire lives.

These weak technological civilization creatures could not even recognize what a true Dominator was!

Yet the release of this short video somehow caused the Blood River Grand Warlord of the Wizard Alliance to suddenly gain hundreds of millions upon trillions of fans from the Capricorn Empire.

Having endured years of war, and especially under the influence of its own civilization's history and imperial culture, the Capricorn Empire broadly worshipped the strong.

Though Nair Wen Yinke's appearance was "ugly," and absolutely failed to conform to the aesthetic standards of Capricorn Empire creatures,

his formidable strength, exaggerated physique, and the faint trace of Dominator pressure that accidentally seeped out in the video perfectly matched the image of a "strong person" held by countless lower-class creatures of the Capricorn Empire.

A considerable mass of Faith Power subsequently gathered within Blood River Grand Warlord Nair Wen Yinke's chest.

It even drew a curious downward glance from this Dominator-class Being wielding the Yellow Springs Azure Fall Halberd.

In truth, the Blood River Grand Warlord's situation was not the first of its kind in the Capricorn Empire.

Before him, Star Radiance Envoy Oren of the Nine Stars Civilization and the First Flame Emperor of the Yan Emperor Divine Clan had received similar treatment.

Moreover, the worshipful emotions they received from the Capricorn Empire's lower-class creatures far exceeded those received by the Blood River Grand Warlord before them.

Even now, there were countless fanatical admirers of Nine Stars Civilization and Yan Emperor Divine Clan powerhouses throughout the Capricorn Empire.

Most of those admired were Dominator-class Beings.

Of course, some exceptional beings below the Dominator-class from the two civilizations had also become known among the Capricorn Empire's lower-class populace after performing brilliantly on local battlefields or completing major missions and achievements.

And they too began to receive widespread admiration.

A whole chain of commercial industries—images, illustrated books, merchandise, and more—could even find a market in the Capricorn Empire.

Surprisingly, the Capricorn Empire's authorities did not regulate this situation at all, instead allowing it to develop freely.

They even actively promoted the creation of certain idols.

This was because the Capricorn Empire's upper echelons had discovered that the emergence of spiritual idols helped unify the Capricorn Empire internally and enhance the Combat Power of its own legions on the battlefield.

And because it was a Technological Civilization, the overwhelming majority of its citizens remained relatively rational.

Nor had this damaged the foundations of the Capricorn Empire's rule.

What an interesting top-level technological civilization!

Many Wizard Civilization powerhouses who noticed this situation could not help but sigh.
