When it comes to describing the expansion of Divine Land, the only relevant event to be mentioned is the Great Expedition.
Li Xingkong still doesn't know whether this Great Expedition has gone smoothly or not. After returning this time, he will definitely go and investigate, and also see his relatives and friends.
However, judging from the information revealed by the Fang Ritu, there might be some unknown calculations behind this Great Expedition.
"I don't know much about the details either, since your civilization doesn't have much intelligence to begin with, and it's currently in a state of paralysis. I'll only talk about the information I got from the Sihali Kingdom."
"Your expedition has now reached a star system called the Weitian Galaxy, but there's a problem with this place."
What's the problem?
Li Xingkong asked.
"You named it the 'Weitian Galaxy,' but it actually has another registered name in the Convention: Ten Thousand Gods Star."
"It's just a name, what's the problem?"
Is changing a name really that much trouble?
"The name itself isn't the problem, but the name 'Ten Thousand Gods Star' is problematic. This name wasn't chosen by the Convention; it was submitted by another third-tier civilization within the Convention, the Radiance Theocracy."
"Just from the name, you should know that this is a theocratic civilization. Their civilization is based on religion, and the highest leader of the civilization is a man-made god."
"And this Ten Thousand Gods Star... in their religious sense, it is considered a holy place, but because of the great distance and the presence of the Sihali Kingdom, they have not occupied this holy place."
"But now that we've started developing this galaxy without your knowledge, that's the problem."
"I suspect that Xuan Qingzi did this on purpose. Your territory was adjusted once in the Convention, and this adjustment included Ten Thousand Gods Star in your territory."
"This is a very serious issue. Desecrating sacred sites is already one of the formal declarations of war explicitly stipulated in Convention convention. If this matter is not handled properly, we cannot stop it."
"Holy Land..."
Hearing Fang Ritu say this, Li Xingkong began to have a headache. Those who play with religion are all crazy, and fanatics are the craziest of the crazi. Such civilizations are not easy to deal with, and now, Earth Star has been directly tricked and their holy land has been developed.
How can we tolerate this?
Let alone religious countries, even Divine Land today, if it knew that weaker aliens had occupied the Ziwei Star or the Seven Stars of BeiDou and were recklessly developing them, would you think they wouldn't fight?
If this matter escalates, it will be no small problem.
Although Li Xingkong had just beheaded a crown prince, he hadn't actually engaged in a direct, full-scale battle with a civilization. He still had some idea of how powerful a third-rate civilization could be.
He frowned and thought for a moment.
"Brother Fang, what is the background of the Radiance Theocracy? Could you tell me?"
This kind of information would probably cost a lot of money even if you bought it from Knows Everything. By asking this question, Li Xingkong was indirectly owing someone a favor.
"Speaking of which, the Radiance Theocracy is somewhat similar to our Sihali Kingdom, except one focuses on internal affairs and the other on external affairs."
" The Sihali Kingdom creates a large number of game players to wage wars abroad, while the Radiance Theocracy does the exact opposite; they create a single game player to be the supreme god of their entire civilization."
When this player ascends to godhood, everything in the empire will be presented to him in digital form.
Various resources, currency production, energy production capacity, resource allocation between planets, population size in each star system, fleet size, military buildings, various space fortresses, and even the organization level of each military unit.
Everything will be presented in numerical form in the hands of this so-called God.
When religious systems develop to their level, so-called individual will or free will becomes irrelevant; everyone must unconditionally accept God's command.
After hearing Fang Ritu's explanation, Li Xingkong had gained an understanding of this cult.
The Sihali Kingdom's model is like an RPG game, where each player plays themselves and explores everywhere. The Radiance Theocracy's model is like a grand strategy game such as Stellaris or Civilization, where the player is the supreme commander of the entire civilization, a god in the true sense.
To be honest, just thinking about this kind of civilization makes it incredibly difficult to deal with.
After all, there's an old saying that goes, "Throughout history, the most virtuous system is the autocracy of a wise king, while the most hellish system is the autocracy of a devil."
So-called democracy is simply ensuring that it doesn't hit a lower limit while sacrificing the upper limit.
Within the Radiance Theocracy, every player who has endured countless trials and ascended to godhood is, in their own eyes, a so-called Wise King. No matter how tortuous the process or how tragic the sacrifices, players who have ascended to godhood will only consider their own transgressions as everything.
He had no personal feelings or desires; no one embezzled funds from the Civilization Funds; and the entire Civilization unconditionally complied with any orders he issued.
In his eyes, the entire civilization was a game that could not be lost.
For such a "god," if a weak civilization occupies their holy land, thus fulfilling a legitimate reason for declaring war, what reason is there not to go to war?
If you're a player, then your choice will be the same.
This is really a headache. That Xuan Qingzi deserves to die. Even after someone is dead, he still can't stop causing trouble and creating this kind of mess.
Now we can only hope that Old Tang and his group aren't so stupid as to cause any trouble.
One Xuan Qingzi is already a problem; if the Radiance Theocracy comes along, it will be truly deadly.
"That's all for now. Remember to come visit often; there will always be a place for you at my Pleasure Tower."
As for the massive server beside Li Xingkong, Fang Ritu was somewhat tempted, but even if Baili Qiu got it, it would eventually be delivered to him, so there was no need to appear greedy now.
"Brother Fang, once this matter is resolved, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Li Xingkong looked very serious.
Putting everything else aside, these two pieces of news brought by Fang Ritu are worth a fortune to Li Xingkong. If Fang Ritu really intended to harm him, why would he tell him these things?
In any case, by now, Li Xingkong has come to accept him as a person. If Fang Ritu ever gets into trouble in the future, he will naturally help him if he can.
With Fang Ritu here, the server and the method of creating Spiritual Root are naturally very safe, and I don't need to worry too much about them.
Li Xingkong entrusted these items to him for safekeeping before handing them over to Baili Qiu. Li Xingkong himself, having received such important news, was naturally even more eager to return home.
It would be best to go back and take a look first, lest things escalate to an irreversible point because of just a few days.
