Star Spirit and Star Devourer

Nuoya must have planned her meeting with Fang Cheng long ago, drafting her thoughts in her mind, so her explanation flowed smoothly and coherently, without a single pause.

She chose the initial origin as her starting point: the Star Spirits.

"Star Spirits are the product of a civilization. When a planetary civilization begins to develop, a collective consciousness occasionally emerges. Over a long period, this collective consciousness learns to usurp the planet's energy, eventually evolving into a Star Spirit..."

A Star Spirit is the collective consciousness of a planetary civilization, but once it learns to usurp the planet's own energy, it eventually evolves into a powerful individual possessing planetary-level energy.

In the long history of the universe, it is impossible to know when the first Star Spirit appeared. When a certain Star Spirit opened its eyes to gaze at the universe, it discovered that its kind had already existed widely throughout the cosmos.

Although civilizations come in all shapes and sizes, Star Spirits are all products that have stolen planetary energy, so it is accurate to call them the same kind.

After initial contradictions and conflicts, the Star Spirits gradually formed an alliance to resolve disputes.

Because the universe is vast enough and possesses sufficient resources to accommodate the coexistence of Star Spirits, any conflicts could be settled through arguments within the alliance; there was no need to resort to war.

The home planet Fang Cheng saw in Nuoya's memories was the headquarters of the Star Spirit Alliance, which, after a long passage of time, had gradually evolved into a polity resembling a nation.

After listening to Nuoya's explanation of the Star Spirits' origins, Fang Cheng recalled the local power on Earth and asked Nuoya, "Is the Star Spirit of Earth the one you spoke with when you first arrived?"
