"Brother Li, you've come to the right person. I do have some knowledge of the journeys of known advanced civilizations covered in this Convention."
Fang Ritu reached out and a phantom projection appeared between him and Li Xingkong; it was a star map shrunk several times.
"Since you want to see the features of this advanced civilization, there are a few places you should definitely visit."
The star map in front of Fang Ritu was magnified several times, and a huge arc-shaped hole appeared in the star map.
In that enormous void, only a single, lonely star shone, appearing quite forlorn.
"This is the first place we have to go to, located on the border between the Mechanical Scourge and the Zerg."
Fang Ritu said with a smile.
"Both civilizations are known for their sheer numbers, and their forms are remarkably similar. After joining the Convention, they initially brought annihilation to many other civilizations. It was only through the Convention's influence that their conflict was confined to this area."
He pointed to a large, empty area around him and said.
"This area was originally a region with a high density of star systems, but in their long-term battles, they completely devoured the resources of the entire region, leaving only this one planet, which was preserved only after the Convention paid a heavy price."
"However, this place was later converted into a tourist attraction, specifically for travelers to watch the battle."
"Once you go here, you will witness the largest and most extensive battle in the entire Convention, and even in the entire known universe."
At this point, Fang Ritu seemed to recall something, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.
Clearly, this place left a deep impression on him.
"What is the purpose of this protracted war? Expansion has already been curbed by the Convention; such fighting is clearly meaningless."
Li Xingkong couldn't understand it; for a site to become a long-standing site of the Convention, the war must have been going on for quite some time.
"You don't know this. Firstly, both civilizations are known for their large numbers, but the problem is that their rapid growth has made it impossible to control their population size, forcing them to maintain a relatively balanced population through war."
"Secondly, in their view, the most significant characteristic of life that has evolved to this point is adaptability. For the dominant ideologies of the two civilizations, continuous warfare plays a crucial role in promoting the evolution of civilization; the longer the war lasts, the stronger the fighting power of both sides becomes."
"Perhaps it's because they've met their match; their battle has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years, and they're still locked in a fierce struggle."
"That's interesting."
Li Xingkong interested. Such a long battle had become a tourist attraction within the Convention, and he couldn't help but want to take a look.
"Of course, it's fine to watch, but don't even think about participating. No one can withstand the endless sea of people. Even if someone from them invites you, don't get carried away."
Fang Ritu seemed to remember something and quickly reminded him again.
Then, he turned the star chart in another direction, and after drawing for an unknown amount of time, a very regular pattern appeared on the star chart.
"This is the second one, an arena jointly built by many civilizations of the Convention. This arena is extremely spectacular, and its main activity is the ball game known as 'Moon-Grasping Ball.'"
At this point, Baili Qiu's eyes lit up.
"Did you manage to obtain an extremely powerful construct from Xuan Qingzi's side before?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Li Xingkong looked at the army of constructs that had been drawn out from his spatial dimension and touched his nose.
"That construct was created by my Sihali Kingdom, to participate in the Moon-Grasping Ball. Unfortunately, it was eliminated in the preliminary rounds, which is not our forte."
"This 'Moon-Grasping Ball' uses a specially crafted ordinary satellite as the sphere, with a cleared area of nearly one light-year as the playing space. Each side has five players, and the team that successfully throws the ball into the opponent's goal wins."
This project has very high requirements; without a certain level of ability, one is not even qualified to participate. Just figuring out how to move that satellite-sized sphere is already a huge challenge, not to mention the need to conduct offense and defense in a confrontation, and even to intercept the sphere at extremely high speeds.
Because of its high barrier to entry, this sport is also one of the most popular events within the Convention.
"However, I think that as long as you, Brother Li, register, you're practically guaranteed to win the Golden Ball Award this century."
Li Xingkong smiled. The competition was indeed exciting, but it wasn't very tempting to him. On the contrary, Li Xingkong wanted to meet the participants who were capable of reaching for the stars and the moon.
Let's see just how different the skill level is between a player created with the help of technology and the skill level cultivated by Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong also realized that although it was called a ball game, it was actually a competition of technology.
Besides these, there are the holy sites of the three major powers. As a member of the Convention, it is impossible not to have heard of the three major powers. Since these three are elusive and mysterious, there are naturally countless people who want to see their true faces.
These three holy lands were created for this reason. Each holy land has a member from one of the three major powers residing there, receiving people from other civilizations and, incidentally, demonstrating their own strength.
Fang Ritu zoomed out on the star map, and a very regular triangle appeared on it, with each of the three vertices being a sacred site of a certain faction.
We, like your Divine Land, are all within the territory of the Kingdom of Fixed Light. This distinction is quite simple; it mainly depends on the location of our civilization. We are basically small countries within the territory of the Kingdom of Fixed Light, and naturally, we are also members of the faction.
Li Xingkong noted down the locations of several holy sites; he had long been curious about these three major powers.
Apart from the people of the Kingdom of Fixed Light who had seen them once, the people of the other two civilizations had never had any contact with them and did not know what they looked like or what form they took.
Besides these locations that need to be mentioned separately, Fang Ritu also recommended many entertainment venues to Li Xingkong, and even listed his own brothel, Pleasure Tower, in the brothel he provided.
Alright, Li Xingkong figured it out. This booklet was compiled by the people of the Sihali Kingdom. It seems to be popular science, but it also carries a hint of propaganda.
But after all, it's their own business; how can they not promote their own books?
After collecting all the items given to him by Fang Ritu, Li Xingkong dispersed his Divine Sense from his clone, which then turned into starlight and disappeared from the spot.
"Call..."
"Go and call for reinforcements. The defenses at this Pleasure Tower need to be changed. Li Xingkong could get in today, wouldn't an assassin be able to do it tomorrow too?"
