With 2 billion Tree Race elders inside, 8 billion Star System-Level Civilization warships inside, and 20 billion Reaper outside, they formed a ring upon a ring, creating a huge hollow ring in the starry sky with an inner diameter of one astronomical unit, an outer diameter of two astronomical units, and a length of 100,000 kilometers. Huge searchlights were turned on, illuminating the entire starry sky.
The Carina Civilization fleet also made no hesitation, passing directly through the center of the ring in sequence. The fleet stopped before entering the Alliance planetary belt, and three of its ships detached from the fleet and flew towards the interior of the territory under the guidance of a smaller fleet of ships that were there to greet them.
Above Earth Four, a spectacular fireworks display is taking place, a tradition that has continued since Earth's time, with fireworks being set off on every major holiday or celebration.
Earth Four is now one of the most important planets after Earth Two Earth Two. Apart from the first group of people, all subsequent people born on Earth Two, with the increase in population, Earth Two will eventually become overcrowded.
Although Earth Two is very important, its population is actually decreasing because strict inspection procedures and various flight controls make many people feel restricted. In addition, the environment of other planets is no worse than that of Earth Two, so more and more people are choosing to relocate to other planets.
Earth Four is similar; it has essentially become a gathering planet, where all sorts of Earth Four -scale events are held, including receptions like this.
The massive Argo Navis spaceship landed on Earth Four's spotless steel plaza, where Hu Yu and the fleet's top brass were already waiting.
Dozens of creatures, nearly indistinguishable from humans, emerged from the warship. These creatures were only different from humans in that they had an extra pair of hands and no noses, while their other facial features were somewhat exaggerated in size, with small mouths and large eyes. Their home planet was probably a planet far from its star, where sunlight was not abundant, or their ancestors were animals similar to those on Earth that were nocturnal.
Upon seeing this image, Hu Yu immediately recalled the Destroyers he encountered when he first left the Solar System. If it weren't for the Destroyers, the losses of the Polaris Fleet would have been even greater. Deep down, Hu Yu had a favorable impression of the Destroyers.
Hu Yu now knows that the Destroyers is not the name of a civilization. It is just an organization created by the Heavenly Peak Civilization Insect Race in the galaxy. Its main purpose is to reward Small Star Sector Civilization. After all, those spaceships are technological products of Great Star Region Civilization. Even if they cannot be destroyed, they are still of great importance to Small Star Sector Civilization, especially those in the early stages.
Humans, it's been a long time.
The beings from the Carina Civilization immediately took the initiative to greet them.
"Long time no see?" Hu Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Ah, the Destroyers." Hu Yu remembered. In the eyes of humans, almost every race of creatures was pretty much the same, just like how every foreigner seemed pretty much the same in Earth's time.
"It is I. I never imagined that when I first met you, you had only just entered the Stellar-Level Civilization. More than 20,000 years have passed, and you are already close to surpassing us. Not bad, not bad."
"You flatter me. I never expected that it would be Lord Destroyers himself who came this time."
"Haha, what Destroyers? I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the liaison officer for this operation of the Carina Civilization. My name is Dongdong. These accompanying personnel, besides the guards, are some of our civilization's high-ranking officials."
Hu Yu was alright, but Wen Zhonghua almost couldn't hold back his laughter. However, this was just the translation from a translator, and it might not necessarily mean what people on Earth understand it to mean.
"So it's Mr. Dongdong. My name is Hu Yu, and I'm in charge of this fleet. This is Chief of Staff Wen of our fleet, and these two are our fleet's chief scientists, Academician Zeng and Academician Xiao. These are several heads of civilizations in our alliance: the patriarch of the Tree Race Civilization, the leader of the Brilliant Star Civilization Quaking Star Civilization... and the leader of the North Star Civilization. Now, on behalf of the Star Ring Alliance, we formally welcome our friends from the Carina Civilization."
"President Hu Yu, I remember your civilization's leader wasn't you. Where was the original leader? Once you reach the Stellar-Level Civilization, the issue of lifespan should be easily resolved."
"Mr. Dongdong, I am not the head of Human Civilization. We are just a branch of Human Civilization, and I am just a small general, not the head. If it weren't for Mr. Dongdong's righteous rescue after we encountered the Patrols, we probably wouldn't have the Star Ring Alliance as we are today. Back then, we realized our weakness, and to avoid being wiped out, our fleet was divided into three. Our leader led one of them to another place, and we haven't heard from them since."
"I see, General. I Dongdong admire your ability to manage one of your fleets to such an extent. To be honest, your human potential is many times greater than that of our Carina Civilization."
"Mr. Dongdong, you flatter me. Come on, it's not the way of Human Civilization to entertain guests in this open-air plaza."
"General, please."
"Mr. Dongdong, please. Everyone, please."
Led by Hu Yu, hundreds of creatures of various appearances arrived at a building with simple yet dignified, understated yet prosperous decor.
"Mr. Dongdong, is this visit to discuss the alliance?"
"Indeed, I am acting on the orders of the leader of the Carina Civilization to handle all matters related to this alliance."
"However, we did not bring the Xuan Star Civilization into the alliance as agreed. I believe you are aware of this agreement, which was negotiated between an elderly gentleman of our humanity and your leader."
"That's right, Mr. Zhou Dao did speak with our leader, but I don't know the specifics of the conversation. I only know that after Mr. Zhou Dao left, our leader immediately began monitoring the Xuan Star Civilization and Mu Star Civilization, and we are fully aware of everything that happened afterward."
"Are you monitoring the Xuan Star Civilization?"
"Yes, Your Excellency General, when we met you 20,000 years ago, we were still Small Star Sector Junior Civilization. However, we later extracted key technologies from the warships rewarded by the Heavenly Peak Civilization, which not only allowed us to reach the Intermediate Stage of Small Star Sector but also gave us access to some special technologies. Therefore, monitoring the Xuan Star Civilization is no problem for us."
"You've contributed to the galaxy; you deserve these things."
"After you defeated the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and destroyed the Mu Star Civilization, our leader agreed to join the Star Ring Alliance without hesitation. In fact, Your Excellency should have guessed some things. Our Carina Civilization is not a particularly promising civilization, and we are also a peace-loving civilization."
"Every bit of technology in our civilization has been accumulated little by little by our own scientists. With our own capabilities, it's unknown how long it would take to break through to the Great Star Region Civilization. Now, the Zerg swarm is behaving abnormally frequently, and the Galaxy Alliance is just a loose organization. For the continuation of our civilization, joining your human alliance should be a wise choice, so the leader sent me here."
This explanation is likely just that given to Dongdong by the leader of the Carina Civilization. It's possible that Mr. Daozi and the leader of the Carina Civilization discussed some important matters; otherwise, a civilization in the middle of a Small Star Region wouldn't have joined an unfamiliar alliance so easily.
