The arrival of the new forces has sparked heated discussions on the networks of all races on earth.

Every advent event is a major challenge to the Earth Alliance.

In the process of connecting with foreigners, conflicts can easily break out.

For example, in the last advent event, Moon Eclipse Clan had just sent the spiritual communication robot to dock, and what was on its way was a fierce offensive from mysterious forces. But the most typical one was the advent event of the Rock Shell Clan two hundred years ago.

This race had just completed temporary registration and demanded the exclusive right to mine the Pacific Ocean seabed vein, and threatened to collect seabed tolls from other races. At the negotiation table, their clan leader was determined not to compromise and threatened to go to war rather than accept the small piece of land that had been allocated.

The leader of the Rock Shell was stubborn and refused to negotiate honestly until Moon Eclipse Clan mobilized the rail gun array and tried firing one round.

There are even more absurd incidents of the arrival of symbiotes.

As soon as this race obtained temporary status, it made a request to parasitize other races, euphemistically calling it "promoting the integration of civilizations."

But this kind of parasitism is essentially lying on the host body to absorb nutrients. How can Earth Alliance all races agree to this.

In the end, the problem was solved by using force as a deterrent.

Secondly, there is Tian Yu Clan from that year.

This ethnic group likes to live in the sky. As soon as they obtained temporary resident status, they launched a plan to build floating islands, indicating that they would not compete with surface races for living space.

It seems like a good plan, but in fact there are various hidden dangers.

The first is the huge airspace area of the floating island, which affects the airspace navigation of other races, and the second is the lighting rights of major cities. When the floating island floats and stops above a city, the city below will usher in a long night, and it will also affect the reception of satellite signals.

Also under the threat of force, Tian Yu Clan gave up this plan and changed it to a floating island now fixed in the sea.

Many modern races call themselves "Earthlings", but when their ancestors first arrived, they all came with ideas.

The history textbooks of various ethnic groups beautify those crisis years as "civilization integration", but deliberately downplay the initial smoke on the negotiation table. Negotiations between ethnic groups are always based on force.

It was the powerful force displayed by the Moon Eclipse Clan that turned the ambitions of these conquerors into the signatures of the Earth Alliance's charter.

This is a group that is relatively easy to communicate with.

Although there were unpleasantnesses in the past, many problems are no longer problems in modern times where cultures are connected.

The new generations of all ethnic groups are quarreling with each other online, but in their hearts they all believe that when an invasion comes, Earth Alliance should unite and fight against the outside world. The most outrageous ones are those ethnic groups that do not allow any communication and will go to war when it comes.

Although Earth Alliance is engaged in foreign wars, ordinary people have long lost the meaning of participating in the war.

But every time a war breaks out, it means lives are lost.

They will still be concerned about the development of the Advent incident, and hope that this will be another peaceful exchange, rather than the smoke-filled Civilization War. The tragedy of the mechanical war back then is still vivid in their minds, and the ravages of genetic diseases still remain in the contemporary era.

What none of the members of the clans expected was that the force that came this time, "Fate Race (Dragon Sparrow Clan)", actually cooperated very well with the Earth Alliance's contacts and arrangements.

Before the arrival, the senior executives of the Earth Alliance were extremely nervous.

To judge the strength of a group, spatial channel generation technology and strength are important reference indicators.

In the "Advent Force Threat Report" before contact, Fate Race was listed in the S level, which is the highest level of advent threat. In the eyes of all races, its potential war potential is even higher than that of the mysterious force that descended over the Atlantic Ocean last time and quickly left after a brief trial of war.

Before the arrival, tension filled the hearts of senior officials of all races.

I am afraid that a new round of advent war will begin and the earth will once again be plunged into war and turmoil.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

What is certain is that the coming Fate Race is very powerful.

Without any device, he can easily imprint his thoughts in the minds of all living beings in the trading city in the form of Mental Network. This ability has exceeded the level expected by the Earth Alliance.

But what it expresses is the idea of peace.

In response to this, the various ethnic groups in the Earth Alliance did not relax their vigilance and sent representatives to try to make contact.

What I got was a clear statement from the other party that there would be no offensive behavior.

Even during the conversation, Earth Alliance was given a resource gift package.

The resource intensity inside far exceeds the level of the earth, which makes representatives of all ethnic groups speechless.

Fate Race's series of actions only made the Earth Alliance clan even more confused.

The other party came with resources and claimed that they were an exile force, but their performance in all aspects was inconsistent with what they said.

It doesn't make sense to say that the other party is a predatory force and that the initial contact was all disguise.

Every resource donated by the other party is genuine and of a quality that cannot be found anywhere on earth.

But since it was clear that the other party came with good intentions, Earth Alliance also showed enough sincerity and immediately started the docking arrangement process. Two days later.

After completing the identity registration, Life Throat and his tribe underwent a series of tests and civilization compatibility tests, and were finally placed in an undeveloped area on the edge of the Siberian wilderness.

The frozen soil here still retains high concentrations of pollution, which has not been completely Purification.

Earth Alliance Human Federation, the only official with the authority to allocate land, assigned this land to them as a temporary residence.

But the conditions are clear. There is no ready-made city here, no complete facilities, and even the basic energy transmission network has not yet been laid. They can build their own homes here, but all problems need to be solved by themselves.

Or wait for the Moon Eclipse Clan assistance project to start.

At this time, Life Throat stood on the desolate frozen soil, his silver-white robe fluttering slightly in the cold wind.

It looked around, seeing continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance, and exposed frozen soil and sparse mutated coniferous forests nearby.

Sensing release can detect radiation contamination in the land.

"That's enough."

Being recognized by the Earth Alliance and getting the opportunity to join the alliance is already the best start possible.

Next, you only need to wait for the determination of the Moon Eclipse Clan to obtain resident status.

It just hopes the speed can be faster.

Raising his hand and tapping the void, the power of destiny spreads out from his body like ripples, spreading across the frozen soil.

The pollutants were instantly decomposed by the force of rules, and the values of the radiation detectors placed nearby were instantly reset to zero.

The frozen soil surged and softened in the silver light, turning into a flat foundation.

Thirty thousand tribesmen also took action at this time, the space became folded like a mirror, and the spiritual materials they carried poured out from the space props. The next second, the building grew on its own like a living thing.

After the silver-white spiritual metal gathered in the air, it rose from the ground and intertwined into a dome structure in the air.

The Numerology Tower rises in the center, and the top of the tower condenses crystals that can release the barriers that cover the entire city.

Viewed from a high altitude, the energy veins expand like a spider web with the Numerology Tower as the center.

Ten minutes later, a miniature city that could accommodate 30,000 people was standing on the frozen soil.

The silver-white building complex is in the shape of a star track array unique to Fate Race. The observation matrix of the central numerology tower slowly rotates, and the sensing range rapidly expands. But I think of the "privacy protection" required by the Earth Alliance.

In the end, Life Throat curbed the continued expansion of the range of perception and locked it in the land beneath its feet.

If it expands to cover the entire earth, this will obviously cause unnecessary suspicion.

Then, energy barriers rose up on the outskirts of the city, isolating the extreme cold and pollutants in the earth's environment, forming an independent space. At this time, the supervisor of the Earth Alliance Security Center suddenly widened his eyes after seeing the real-time satellite monitoring screen.

This group of outsiders who call themselves "exiles" actually completed the construction of a small city while making a cup of tea.

This scene also shocked the netizens watching the surveillance.

Since Fate Race has not officially joined Earth Alliance, according to the "New Arrival Race Observation Regulations", all their activities will be publicly monitored by all races around the world.

Earth Alliance has opened a special "New Ethnic Observation" channel on the Star Network platform. Any citizen can view high-definition satellite images in real time after passing identity verification.

At this time, the number of people online on the channel is soaring at a rate of tens of thousands per second.

"No, are you really an exile force? Are you afraid that gods descended to earth, and a city was just completed like this?"

"I'm stunned. How can we build a city in ten minutes? Moon Eclipse Clan's engineering team came out and got beaten up. Look at the level of these stinking outsiders. It's time for you to improve." "Are they really from exile? I seriously doubt they are here to steal our Monster World qualifications. I suggest not granting status qualifications. With the addition of these 30,000 outsiders, my possibility of grabbing the player qualifications has been diluted. It's very uncomfortable."

"Don't be funny upstairs, okay? People don't even know what Monster World is, and they are still competing for qualifications. Their generation has not yet integrated into the Earth Alliance, and they may not be interested in virtual games at all. I bet that even if the beings from the upper world give them Monster World qualifications for free, they will not want them. They will even suspect that virtual games have potential risks and may be mind-controlled."

Major social platforms around the world exploded instantly.

Fate Race The topic of building a city in ten minutes has topped the list of hot searches.

All races are marveling that the race coming this time is probably a powerful force that can compete with the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Fortunately, this force was not an invading force and showed absolute sincerity at the beginning.

After arriving, he cooperated with the Earth Alliance's investigation throughout the entire process without any excessive behavior.

This also made the members of the Earth Alliance realize that Earth Alliance will soon have a powerful new member joining.

However, Life Throat's plan is not over yet.

It chose to come to Earth, and its core purpose is to qualify as a player.

Under normal circumstances, if a newly arrived race wants to integrate into the Earth Alliance, it will take 6 months to a year for the tribesmen to obtain official status. But this process is too long.

It can feel the loss in the hearts of its people.

This desolate Small World is too barren for people accustomed to a high-energy world.

The pollutants in the air have caused slight discomfort to their senses, and the thin concentration of spiritual energy has left no room for development.

You can only create an isolation zone and move within a predetermined small area.

Although it has not yet had a substantial impact on the physique of the tribe, as long as they live in this environment for a long time, the degradation of life forms will be a gradual process.

Life Throat realized that in order for the tribesmen to get rid of this discomfort and uneasiness as soon as possible, they must speed up the process of obtaining qualifications.

After careful consideration, it decided to take the initiative to show sincerity to the Earth Alliance.

For example, cooperate by sharing resources and technology.

Two more days passed.

Moon Eclipse Clan's shuttle ship slowly landed in the open space in Ming City.

When the hatch opened, a young figure wearing the Moon Eclipse Clan "Diplomatic Envoy" costume walked out.

Life Throat personally stepped forward to greet him. This move made the clan members behind him feel extremely confused.

In their opinion, this Moon Eclipse Clan messenger with weak life fluctuations is even far inferior to an ordinary soldier of Fate Race.

But Life Throat understands how terrifying the power behind the Moon Eclipse Clan is.

What it wants is not the approval of the Moon Eclipse Clan, but the approval of the person behind the Moon Eclipse Clan.

In the eyes of the tribe, Moon Eclipse Clan is very weak.

But in the eyes of High-Dimensional God, there is essentially no difference between the Moon Eclipse Clan and the Fate Race it is in.

A stronger ant is still an ant.

It needs the channel Moon Eclipse Clan to help it pass the review as soon as possible.

After a brief exchange with the diplomatic envoy, he reached out and handed over a translucent data tablet:

"According to the "New Member Admission Regulations", please fill in this background investigation questionnaire truthfully."

The messenger uses spiritual communication to express ideas directly in its mind.

Life Throat did not resist the penetration of mental power, nodded and took the data tablet.

Although it could fully understand the Earth's text, it still chose to pick up the mental communication device connected to the data board, suck it to its temple, and look down.

Then he began to use spiritual imprinting to fill in the content on it.

The original world coordinates, the length of recorded history of civilization, the core combat power development system, the description of the cross-space dimension technology mastered, the current racial population size, whether it carries life pollution (energy pollution), the type of social structure, whether to retain military armaments, the main purpose of joining the alliance, whether to accept the "Convention on Coexistence of Civilizations"...

There is also a special matters declaration column below.

It is necessary to describe in detail all space activities initiated in the last three standard years (including but not limited to exploration, colonization, and war). This form has more than 300 questions.

Life Throat keeps imprinting ideas on it.

It knows that this seemingly ordinary questionnaire is the first hurdle leading to "player qualifications".

Behind each option is linked to Star Network's in-depth review algorithm.

When filling in the "Purpose of joining".

Life Throat paused for a moment and finally entered the ideal standard answer:

"Seeking symbiotic development of civilizations and sharing knowledge and resources."

After filling in all the questions, the messenger left a palm-sized communication device before leaving, indicating that if he has any further needs, he can contact representative Earth Alliance through this device.

He also stated that Moon Eclipse Clan will help Fate Race start the project construction support to connect with Star Network.

Including a limited supply of game storage and the first version of the head-mounted spiritual connection helmet.

In the evening of that day, three Moon Eclipse Clan engineering ships cut through the sky and landed outside "Fate City".

The Moon Eclipse Clan engineers who came here started the construction project after getting Life Throat's approval.

A swarm of silver-gray nanomachines poured out of the hatch like flowing water, and the frame of the Star Network receiving base station was quickly laid on the land in the city. Life Throat stood at the observation deck of the central tower, watching the nanomachines roam freely in the city, weaving an energy network.

This behavior is obviously still incomprehensible to the tribesmen.

Open the tribe's land to foreign tribes and let them transform it at will, even making them feel aggrieved.

And what it wants to do is to suppress the various ideas of the tribesmen.

Make sure that before connecting to the Star Network, the clan members will not engage in any extreme behavior.

Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted.

With the construction of the signal base station completed.

Life Throat The communication device in his hand lit up, and a holographic projection automatically unfolded in front of him.

[Star Network core is connecting...]

[Identification code:001]

[Permission level: highest level.]

The projection finally settled in front of him in the shape of a little boy named Moon Eclipse Clan.

"Hello, leader of Fate Race, I am Star Network. Welcome to join the big family of the Earth Alliance."

Star Network nodded to him with a smile.

Life Throat bowed slightly, put his hand between his eyebrows, his silver-white hair fell down on his shoulders, and returned the gift in the way of Fate Race:

"It's an honor, Your Excellency Star Network."

Under the holographic projection, Star Network's smile suddenly became meaningful:

"I have an interesting discovery. According to the combat power evaluation standards, the energy level of your Fate Race far exceeds the safety threshold."

With that said, Star Network casually called up a set of data streams and the generated projection screen:

"For example, the space folding technology you used when building the city and the space channel technology you used when you arrived have surpassed the comprehensive strength of the Earth Alliance."

"But you chose the gentlest way of coming, the most restrained settlement plan, and even actively restricted your tribe's external exploration." "So, can you tell me why?"

"We come for peace." Life Throat replied immediately.

"No, an ethnic group's understanding of peace is generally limited to within the ethnic group, and there are even disputes within the ethnic group. External peace requires a consensus that can be formed after a long period of time. This includes the cultural identity of the next generation in the same environment, the balance of interests, the balance of power, and the respect for consensus rules."

"And a newly arrived race, according to common sense, should first evaluate the upper limit of the world's combat power, just like Moon Eclipse Clan did back then." "At that time, after the Moon Eclipse Clan came to the earth, there were disputes about how to develop in the future. Some governors believed that the earth should be controlled by enslaving other ethnic groups, while others believed that the earth should be controlled by expelling..."

"Although differences in culture, history and other aspects make us think about problems differently, you have the power of war." "A civilization with the power of war, when faced with a world with poor resources, will first evaluate whether military conquest can maximize the interests of the group, just like the consideration when Moon Eclipse Clan came."

"It's just that Moon Eclipse Clan was completely exhausted at that time. When it came to the earth, it didn't have much combat power left. It didn't want to fall into the quagmire of war easily, so it didn't choose to do that."

Star Network looked directly at Life Throat:

"But you Fate Race are different. The power you have shown can completely establish a new order after the earth suppresses the resistance, or directly plunder this barren world and then go to other worlds. The space technology you have mastered can completely search for better places to live."

"Evaluate, test, and then decide whether to conquer, cooperate, or leave. This is the reasonable behavioral logic of a race. This is what all ethnic groups that come to earth do."

"But you Fate Race skipped all the steps and directly chose the most unreasonable option: obey all arrangements."

"Since the establishment of the Earth Alliance, even the weakest ethnic group has never had such cooperation from you."

The silver robe on Life Throat was not fluttering in the wind. It calmly listened to Star Network's analysis, stared at the constantly jumping projection screen, and then shook its head and said:

"As you said, our living environments are different, so the way we think about problems is also different. From our point of view, Fate Race, conquest only brings hatred, and plunder will eventually face backlash."

"And powerful power should be used for construction, not destruction. We come to the earth just to seek shelter..."

"No, no, no." Star Network suddenly approached Life Throat:

"I want to hear the truth."

The air suddenly solidified.

Life Throat felt an invisible pressure from a higher dimension locking itself, but it knew that this was just an illusion under pressure. Star Network obviously wanted it to give the real answer.

But it is impossible to estimate whether this answer will violate the taboo in High-Dimensional God's eyes.

It does not want to follow its own people and therefore be implicated.

It finally realized that this seemingly child-like intelligent creature in front of it was not easy to fool.

The air seemed to freeze into ice at this moment.

Star Network seemed to see the pressure on Life Throat, and suddenly took a step back with a smile:

"In terms of power, I am far inferior to you, but in terms of wisdom, although I am just a created intelligent system, I can still surpass the Creator who once created me. So... put away the arrogance deep in your heart, stop your fooling around and perfunctory, and put you and me in the same position to have a conversation." As he spoke, Star Network's voice suddenly lost all its immaturity and carried a cold rhythm unique to machinery.

Under the pressure of Star Network, Life Throat felt bitter in his heart.

As Star Network said, its respect for Star Network from beginning to end comes from High-Dimensional God behind it.

Behind the superficial respect, deep down in his heart he always looked down upon "intelligent creations" from higher beings, thinking that Star Network was just a toy created to process information.

It's not at the same level of life as myself.

Apparently his arrogance and perfunctoryness were discovered by Star Network.

"I apologize, and I will correct my attitude next."

"So, what's your answer?"

I was asked the same question again, but Life Throat still didn't dare to give an answer.

Faced with Life Throat's silence, Star Network continued:

"Since you are unwilling to answer, let me try to answer this question for you... You are not exiles seeking asylum, but speculators who have discovered potential opportunities. All actions are pointing to this, and you are plotting potential benefits on earth."

"The level of strength displayed by Fate Race is in sharp contradiction with your restrained behavior on earth. After 32374 logical deductions, the only reasonable explanation is..."

The projection suddenly turned into the login icon of Monster World on the virtual desktop:

"If other factors are taken into account, there is only one hidden benefit on the entire earth that the powerful people desire, and that is: player qualifications."

"This is your real purpose. Everything else is just a pretense to obtain player qualifications. All cooperation is to join Earth Alliance as soon as possible, obtain the identity code of the Earth Alliance, and log in to Star Network."

After listening to Star Network's analysis, Life Throat was completely speechless.

Star Network not only saw through the appearance, but also analyzed its plan very thoroughly.

The login interface on the projection flashed scarlet, with Reflection on Life Throat's face, as if silently mocking all its disguises.

It suddenly realized that all its actions from the moment it landed on the earth were based on the logic of Star Network, and all of its actions pointed to the same answer: player qualifications.

Its innermost plan was exposed so lightly by an "artificial intelligence".

Star Network tilted his head, his childlike appearance contrasting with the cold mechanical voice:

"What, you're surprised?"

Life Throat was silent for a long time, but a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I underestimated you, but you guessed the truth, which saved me trouble. At least I'm still alive now."

Star Network also laughed. This time, its smile was cunning:

"Yes, Monster World is here Fate Race."

"How do you know?" The smile on Life Throat's face solidified.

"I know more about you than you think. I will conduct detailed investigations in the library for every racial force that appears in Monster World. Just taking off the mask to hide your identity is too much to look down on us, so I always feel that you come with a arrogant attitude, thinking that all the creatures on the earth are just lucky enough to be favored by High-Dimensional God... Although, this is indeed just good luck."

With that said, Star Network reprogrammed the projection content and fixed the picture in the room where the white-haired girl was.

"After you came to Earth, I retrieved all the information from the Trading City and discovered a strange thing. The monitoring system numbered TC-74292 in this room briefly failed. The maintenance robot automatically went to repair it after discovering the anomaly, but found that the monitoring system was intact."

"What I need to tell you is that all 32.4 billion surveillance probes on the planet are under my control, including the service life of each surveillance camera and annual maintenance... According to my analysis, the probability of this surveillance camera malfunctioning under normal operation is only 0.0023%. From this, it can be inferred that the surveillance camera is likely to be interfered by unknown external forces."

"Interestingly, I continued to investigate along this clue and found that the port connected to Star Network in the room had logged into the official website of Monster World." "Although I do not have permission to view the tour records on the official website of Monster World, But what is clear is that the owner of the room at that time, "Liu Ying', had logged into Monster World and was participating in a copy challenge mission with the team. So who else in the room can continue to use the port to browse Monster World and check the content on the Internet?"

Having said this, the projection of Star Network showed a playful smile:

"You don't think it's made of oranges, do you?"

At this moment, Life Throat was completely convinced.

Star Network naturally knows that the "orange" in his mouth is the pet kept by the white-haired girl: an orange cat.

When it was captured by a drone, the girl called it angrily: Orange.

As for the library Star Network was talking about, it naturally knew it too.

When investigating information on the Monster World official website forum, there were many posts mentioning "Emperor's Tomb Village Library".

According to the description, a huge amount of knowledge and information is stored there, and it is also an information station that is updated in real time to assist players in their growth.

Therefore, Star Network actually knew the answer the first time it came to Monster World.

The series of actions just now were all testing.

If the apology just now was forced by the situation, but after listening to Star Network's analysis, it has a new understanding of Star Network

Star Network is powerful beyond its imagination.

It asked with curiosity:

"Then do you know why I came here last time?"

Star Network nodded:

"This question is easier to answer. Fate Race has only had direct contact with the players once. It must have been the game between the players and you Fate Race in Lacerated Throat Valley, which caused an error in the rules' operation logic. In order to understand the situation, you obtained the coordinates of the earth through some means, and then sneaked into the earth to investigate."

"But before the investigation, you had realized that the target that could limit the effectiveness of the rules of fate was powerful, so you chose to conduct the investigation in a latent way. You wanted to avoid direct conflict, which led to subsequent developments. You unexpectedly learned the hidden secrets of the earth."

With that said, Star Network retrieved the externally recorded image record at that time.

Eat Earth is on the screen, playing an equivalent game with Life Throat.

Life Throat After listening, I was completely convinced.

This seemingly child-like intelligent system not only controls the flow of data everywhere on the earth, but can even connect fragmented information into a complete logical chain.

From monitoring anomalies to network access, from game behavior to real identity... every step is accurately captured by it.

Life Throat breathed out slowly:

"What you said is the truth, so what are you going to do with us?"

When asked these words, Life Throat looked calm and calm on the outside, but inside he was extremely nervous.

Star Network's decision will affect the future of it and its people.

Star Network stretched out his right hand at this moment:

"Then, welcome to join the Earth Alliance family."

Life Throat's pupils shrank slightly, and its silver-white eyelashes trembled slightly. It didn't expect that Star Network would agree so simply.

"You... just agreed?" There was unconcealable surprise in its voice.

"Why not? Since High-Dimensional God allows you to discover this secret and tacitly allows you to come to Earth, this is an answer in itself, so it is not me who agrees to you, but High-Dimensional God... This is Fortuitous Encounter given to you by Chi En."

But the next second, Star Network's expression suddenly became serious, and his expression showed unquestionable majesty:

"But I must warn you in advance. Since you have chosen this path, from now on, you can no longer go to Monster World with your body, and you are not allowed to reveal any secrets of Monster World. Before obtaining High-Dimensional God's permission, your body will always stay on the earth, completely cut off from Monster World... If you violate the taboo, you know exactly what this means."

Life Throat Slowly raise your right hand, palm upward:

"Don't worry, before I came to Earth, I had already made up my mind to abandon my homeland and cut off the past. We will act in accordance with High-Dimensional God's will, become a member of Player Camp, and serve High-Dimensional God."

Star Network nodded with satisfaction:

"I will arrange your identity registration as soon as possible. As for the qualifications... I have no right to grant them. Only High-Dimensional God is the one who determines the qualifications. You need to draw by yourself like other players after obtaining the official identity of the Earth Alliance."

Although they have not yet obtained qualifications, Star Network's commitment means that their road ahead, which was originally shrouded in fog, is now clear.

"Thank you."

These two simple words are as heavy as a thousand stones in Life Throat's heart.

The suppressed emotions in my heart finally melted away.

This game of gambling on the future of himself and his tribe succeeded.

The young face generated by Star Network projection now showed a sincere smile:

"I advise you not to get too happy too early. It's not easy to qualify as a player."
