"Tell me, what does the general want from you when he invites you to join the alliance? Is it just because you're shameless?" Ninety-Seven erupted in anger, speaking at length.

" Ninety-Seven, don't do this," Hu Yu advised.

"Prince, you must not be disrespectful to the clan leader," Grand Elder Zhigu said, but his voice was weak and powerless.

"Enough, enough, General. Perhaps the prince is right. And even if I object, he will still join your alliance when he becomes the chieftain. Since the outcome will be the same sooner or later, I hereby declare that the Treant Civilization has officially joined the Star Ring Alliance, and the Treant Civilization will relocate to the territory of the Human Civilization."

"Chief, if you don't trust us humans enough, there's no need to force it. Our Human Civilization has always been about fair trade. You can take some time to fully understand our Human Civilization before making a decision."

"General, I have already announced my decision. To go back on my word would be to invite contempt. Besides, if I refuse again, the prince will become a human prince. From now on, my Tree Race will obey the Alliance Leader's command and hope to rise again under his leadership."

"Clan leader, I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now," Ninety-Seven said, bowing his head.

"It's alright, it's good to be excited. At least you won't be content with mediocrity like this old man."

"Chieftain, your concerns are valid, but you are mistaken in one aspect: our Human Civilization is not the leader of the Star Ring Alliance."

"No? There are other advanced civilizations?"

"That's not the case. All major and minor events in the Star Ring Alliance are decided jointly by the leaders of the seven civilizations. Now that your Tree Race has joined, you are naturally a member of the summit. It won't be our Human Civilization directing you, but rather everyone will jointly decide the direction of the alliance's development, allowing the alliance to rise step by step and become a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy. Perhaps one day in the future, our Star Ring Alliance can even surpass the Large Star Sector Alliance. I believe everyone is looking forward to that."

"I see. Good, good, good. Human Civilization is indeed extraordinary. I'm much more relieved now. General, let's set off for the Alliance territory immediately."

"Relocation is possible, but your planet is too large and its shape too unique. In order to avoid attracting the attention of other civilizations, I suggest you move along the edge of the galaxy and try to avoid all civilized territories. There might be other reclusive civilizations like yours on the edge of the galaxy, so be careful."

"General, rest assured, we will proceed with caution."

"Follow this line and reach these coordinates. We will send a fleet to wait here and escort you to the Alliance territory. The Far Watcher Civilization ' warships will remain here for us to continue replicating. By the way, do you have any other Far Watcher Civilization or other civilization artifacts?"

"This..."

"Chieftain, you've left a time bomb! Leaving artifacts from other civilizations in your territory is a major taboo. Artifacts from lower-level civilizations are one thing, but the higher the civilization, the less acceptable it is. Even we, a technologically advanced civilization, dare not bring creations from other civilizations into our territory. You can't possibly be so ignorant of this basic common sense?"

"Alright, General, we don't have any artifacts from other civilizations, but we do still have a few warships from the Far Watcher Civilization, and the creature inside one of them is still alive. However, we've severed space, so they can't contact their own civilization."

"Can't contact them? We're maintaining constant contact with our own civilization right now. Chieftain, you were too careless. You've severed the three dimensions, but what about the fourth? I doubt you have the ability to sever those too. Luckily, this Far Watcher Civilization hasn't mastered four-dimensional technology, or we would have found you long ago."

"What? You can still contact your own civilization?" Grand Elder Zhigu asked incredulously.

"The Grand Elder doesn't believe me? Just ask your prince and you'll find out for sure."

"The Grand Elder, the Clan Chief, and the General can indeed contact their civilization anytime, anywhere; this connection has never been severed, regardless of time or place."

" Human Civilization is truly an incredible civilization. It seems that joining the Star Ring Alliance is a very good thing. Now I'm looking forward to it more and more. General, the warships of the Far Watcher Civilization will all be delivered here shortly, and we will set off immediately."

"Chieftain, I'll go with the general."

"Sigh, are you a member of the Tree Race or a human? Oh well, I knew you'd be like this."

"Haha, Chieftain, whether you're Tree Race or a human, from now on we're all members of the Star Ring Alliance, without distinction," Hu Yu chuckled, and boarded the spaceship with everyone, leaving the Tree Race's planet.

The Tree Race planets reappeared in the sky. Thanks to the efforts of countless Tree-people, these colossal beings quickly entered warp drive, heading towards the outer reaches of the galaxy. They would travel in a desolate region more than 2,000 light-years away from the edge, avoiding the attention of other civilizations.

This place is not completely desolate. Along the way, there will still be some isolated celestial bodies orbiting the center of the galaxy. They will become energy replenishment points for the Tree Race. Although the Tree Race has internal spaces, only some of its members have them, and warp drive is extremely energy-consuming, especially when carrying such a huge celestial body. Even if it is hollow, it is enough to deplete all of the Tree Clan's energy reserves.

There are also five warships of the Far Watcher Civilization in the starry sky. These warships are over 20 kilometers long, which would be considered medium-sized warships in the Small Star Sector Civilization stage. The Tree Race people have clearly drained their energy. Even if the creatures inside one of the warships are still alive, they cannot make the warship maneuver.

The maintenance robots of the Grim Slayer flew out of the ship's hull and went directly to the surface of the Far-Seers warship. Like the Grim Slayer, the Far Watcher Civilization's warships also have a modular design for their outer armor. The advantage of this design is that damaged parts can be easily replaced without affecting the defensive capabilities.

The advantage of easy replacement is easy disassembly. Once the method is found, disassembly is very easy. It is obvious that the Treefolk has already disassembled the warship. The robot only fiddled with it a few times and peeled off the layers of armor, reaching the interior of the warship. The scan began, and atomic-level 3D modeling was carried out at the same time. At the Academy of Sciences tens of thousands of light-years away, the same thing was being done simultaneously.

Various parts have been sent to different factories for replication. Once the key parts are replicated, they can be assembled. It generally takes about three years to complete a detailed scan of such a warship.

This is a complete Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization, and its importance is self-evident. If it weren't for rescuing their people, the Treant Civilization wouldn't have handed over the Far Watcher Civilization's warship to humanity so directly.
