The shackles were gone, the shadows dispersed.
The flames of vengeance burned away the darkness of the old age, and the sunshine of a new era belonging to the Velvet Spirit Tribe shone unobstructed over every inch of New Star Valley.
The wisdom and strength once forced into hiding surged like a thawing spring tide.
Entrusted with the future by their predecessors, a new generation of leaders formally stepped forward to lead the wave of revival.
The headlong advance of technology was the clearest manifestation of this "era of revival."
Research and development once concealed beneath the enemy's demands could now proceed without restraint.
The resources the Riftbone Tribe had plundered from other tribes, along with mineral veins discovered throughout its vast territory, all became fuel for the Velvet Spirit Tribe's technological explosion.
During this period, Qi Ming, who had devoted his life to the Velvet Spirit Tribe's communications, voluntarily stepped down after seeing the basic infrastructure of the Star Language Network completed, as his aging body could no longer keep up.
He handed over the symbol of the Communications Department's highest authority to his student, a young genius named Xun Ying.
Xun Ying belonged to the generation raised within the Dark Web. He did not disappoint his mentor, driving another revolution in communications technology after taking charge of the Communications Department.
It integrated Spirit Link Crystal Core technology, the existing Signal Tower infrastructure within the Riftbone Tribe's territory, and energy transmission technology from the Dreamweaver database to build the Star Language Network, which covered the entire territory and continued extending into surrounding areas.
Communication was no longer limited to sound and text; real-time holographic video transmission became commonplace.
Clanspeople separated by vast distances could converse as though face-to-face, and even collaborate remotely on precise experimental procedures through immersive projections.
