The Vassal Civilization and the Popular Dragon Snake Crew
Within Liang Ji's Natal Star, the vassal civilization had developed to a very high level under the influence of the Star Alliance's many legacies and technologies—even surpassing the native civilizations of many stars in the Outer Domain.
Across the two continents on the star, straight roads and canals had long been built to connect the vassals' cities. Various flying boats and ships traveled regularly between them, carrying all kinds of goods, supplies, and people. Commerce flourished.
Many vassal cities had dedicated airports for flying boats and ships, as well as specialized facilities for building them.

After Liang Ji used the "Dragon Pearl" to nurture most of the basic Sixth-Tier spirit materials, spirit plants, and mineral deposits in his Natal Star to maturity, the various vassal lineages sprang into action. They began mining Sixth-Tier spirit materials, spirit objects, and minerals at deposits and resource sites that had already been marked throughout the star.
Mining spirit objects and ore deposits required specialized magical artifacts and machinery. The work had long since become mechanized; vassal miners from each lineage only needed to operate the tools and machines, without wasting too much manpower.
The various spirit objects, spirit materials, and ores they extracted were transported by dedicated ships and flying boats to cities and facilities set up to smelt ore and process spirit materials. There, specialized magical artifacts, machinery, and furnaces processed, sorted, and refined them into useful treasure materials.
Finally, those treasure materials were sent to bases and cities across the
