According to the memories in the Snail People's mind, this Pan-Civilization Convention basically covers most of the StarCraft civilizations in the known universe. From the Snail People to the edge of the visible universe on Earth Star, almost all the slightly stronger civilizations in the entire universe have joined this Convention.
Of course, not everyone joined voluntarily, but the leading civilizations that initiated the Convention were so powerful that even if some people were dissatisfied, they could only obediently comply.
This Convention categorizes all galactic civilizations into a simple class based on their military strength and technological level. In this Convention, these Snail People are merely a fifth-tier small country.
Of course, to be rated as a fifth-tier country, one must at least have completed the development of their native star system and reached the level of interstellar expansion. If even this basic requirement is not met, they are not even qualified to be called a country.
In the eyes of the Convention, civilizations that do not meet this standard are no different from indigenous savages, and no one would bother to allocate territory to monkeys.
The protection of these civilizations is out of the question.
The Snail People's territory is not very large, consisting only of their home star system and two or three surrounding star systems. It is insignificant in the Convention, but for Earth Star, such a small cosmic Earth Star still poses a considerable threat.
As for further understanding of the Convention, Li Xingkong couldn't find any more detailed information in the Snail People's memory. That was all he knew. If he wanted more information, he would have to find a higher-level Snail People citizen.
The Snail People system is extremely cruel.
Their civilization has no concept of parents; all newborns are born in intensive care units.
From birth, all newborns undergo genetic testing. By verifying the superiority or inferiority of their genes, Snail People are immediately classified, which determines which area they should be placed in.
First-class citizens, engaged in political and scientific research, are placed on the Empire's habitable planets from birth and enjoy extremely high political immunity. Second-class citizens, engaged in military command and fleet command, generally wield great power, and their living quarters are no different from those of first-class citizens.
Third and fourth-class citizens are basically the backbone of society, engaged in a wide range of social support industries. They are essentially citizens of the country, with no special privileges and no right to enter habitable planets. They basically live wherever they work.
Fifth-class citizens are basically engaged in the most arduous jobs: overseeing garbage planets, leading teams on heavy industrial planets, handling excessive pollution... These harsh jobs mean their lifespans are much shorter than others.
Of course, even fifth-class citizens are still Snail People; those who truly risk their lives in these lowest-level positions are slaves from other races who have been captured.
If the Snail People themselves have a clear hierarchy and a strict order, then their use of slaves is even more cruel and inhumane; they basically treat them as expendable resources.
Among the Snail People captured, two were third-class citizens and three were fourth-class citizens, basically all low-ranking soldiers, and knew very little.
Unfortunately, the Star Destroyer was destroyed too thoroughly by Li Xingkong, and the two high-level Snail People who came this time were completely reduced to ashes, making it virtually impossible to interrogate them.
Li Xingkong extracted the Snail People's relevant memories, converted them into a video in the blink of an eye, and threw it into Tang Cheng's hands.
"It's you again, Brother Li. I still haven't learned this move."
Tang Cheng smiled as he received the video edited from his memories.
"How's your Divine Sense cultivation going?"
To learn Li Xingkong's technique, one must at least be able to extend their Divine Sense beyond their body.
"Hmm, my Divine Sense can now leave my body, but only within this range..."
Tang Cheng released his Divine Sense, and Li Xingkong clearly see that a thin shell seemed to have appeared on the outside of his body.
" My Divine Sense can only extend to less than half a meter. This Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation is still too energy-consuming."
With his Divine Sense able to be projected outwards, Tang Cheng's Foundation Establishment cultivation was already progressing quite rapidly, considering that not everyone has the assistance of a system.
" My Divine Sense needs tempering, my cultivation techniques need to be practiced, and the difficulty of my spells is much higher than before. There are also many things related to Divine Sense that I need to learn. After reaching the Foundation Establishment, I'm already too busy with cultivation alone, not to mention that I have my own official duties to perform."
"It's even difficult to find time to go into seclusion."
Tang Cheng made a few complaints, but judging from his current cultivation level, he hadn't fallen behind in his cultivation at all.
While chatting, Tang Cheng read through the contents that Li Xingkong had sent him.
This information is extremely important, both in terms of understanding the Snail People civilization and the content of this so-called Convention; it is of great importance to Divine Land today.
"According to this Convention, there should be countless civilizations in the universe, but after so many years of research, we haven't seen a single alien. Tsk tsk."
Having seen these things, I have gained an understanding of the attitudes of these Snail People, but this has also raised more questions.
Li Xingkong then searched through the Snail People's brain, and surprisingly, he found some answers.
"According to this guy's memory, the entire Convention designated the star system region near our Solar System as a desert area. Because the star system is too empty and lacks resources, it is a desolate place in the entire star system, so very few people come here to wander around."
"Besides this reason, another reason is that the trajectories of the Solar System and the nearby Andromeda intersect at a point, and in a few million years, the two star systems will collide..."
"The surrounding galaxies are still within the capture range of a supermassive black hole, and will likely be swallowed by it in a few hundred million years..."
According to the memories in this Snail People's mind, no civilization had set foot in the entire Solar System and surrounding star systems. Even the Snail People was somewhat reluctant to come here.
According to calculations, the Solar System is considered to have suffered many disasters in the entire universe, and even the Snail People are somewhat wary of this place.
This time span is beyond the comprehension of Divine Land, but for some large StarCraft civilizations, this timescale is perfectly normal.
The Solar System's position is like a double-edged sword; those capable of preventing Solar System destruction look down on such a barren place, while those who desire it lack the capability.
It was quite awkward.
