Registering with the Ember Ancestral Court could greatly elevate the Kindling Seed network permissions of a Star Destroyer captain.
Most directly, the Kindling Bureau Local Network they could access would be enough to cover an entire galaxy system spanning millions of light-years, making communication between Star Destroyer captains extremely convenient.
Beyond that, it would also allow the four Ember Ancestral Courts to directly contact Star Destroyer captains through special means. This was the fundamental reason why, throughout the more than three hundred thousand years of Kindling Human Civilization's history, they had repeatedly been able to rapidly mobilize their peak combat forces, allocate them with utmost precision in the shortest possible time, and minimize frontline casualties caused by crises each time.
However, everything had its pros and cons. For the civilization as a whole, this was naturally all benefit and no harm, but for the Star Destroyer captains under its command, it inevitably meant exposing their secrets to outsiders.
If the four Ember Ancestral Courts could freely issue notices through special means, could they also use those means to see every secret aboard the Kindling Warships bound to the origins of their Kindling Seeds?
Although this had never been proven, and no such incident had ever emerged from the Ember Ancestral Courts of the four empires in over three hundred thousand years, people's hearts were what they were. Who would willingly lay all their secrets bare before outsiders?

Before this, Song Chi had thought the same way.
Yet what had just happened allowed him to directly experience the enormous drawbacks of being unregistered.
If the timing of his second arrival had not been fairly favorable—if he had come two years later, or even four or five years later—then
