After leaving the Dark Void Star Domain, the interstellar cruise ship did not traverse the starfield ahead, but instead passed along the edge of the starfield, picking up tourists and merchants from that area.
Jiang Ziliu subsequently obtained intelligence information about the cruise ship itself.
This star region belongs to the sphere of influence of a large race in the Milky Way, the Star Human Race.
The Star Human Race are a subspecies of the Human Race, just like the Bluewater Star Human Race.
However, unlike the Blue Star Human Race, who are the main branch of the entire Human Race, the Star Human Race are a different subspecies.
They are a subhuman race born in ancient times, after the Human Race merged with the bloodline of some kind of Starry Sky Behemoth. They possess a natural affinity for the power of the stars.
Due to their immense power, they gradually differentiated themselves from Human Race and became the Star Human Race.
The Star Human Race very powerful, one of the most powerful races in the Milky Way. Their beast-taming talent, strength, and growth rate are not particularly extraordinary, but the Star Human Race have a special characteristic: their stellar attributes.
The aura emanating from this stellar attribute makes them naturally attuned to stellar power.
This also makes the Starry Sky Behemoth naturally fond of them.
If a Star Human Race can obtain a cub of Starry Sky Behemoth and raise it from a young age, they can form a unique partnership.
This partnership later evolved into an equal contract.
However, it is merely an improved version of the Cosmic Heaven and Earth Beast Taming Contract, where both parties are equal, and there is no relationship where the death of one party results in the misfortune of the other.
At the same time, there is no feedback of power; they can only communicate and exchange information secretly with each other.
But it is precisely this equal relationship that is enough to make some Starry Sky Behemoth become part of the Star Human Race's fighting force.
Some powerful Starry Sky Behemoth are in no way weaker than fourth-realm Galactic-Rank God, and some even reach the Origin Rank in terms of combat power.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the strength of the entire Star Human Race increased dramatically, making them one of the most powerful races in the Milky Way.
However, the Star Human Race themselves were not strong enough, and there were not many powerful individuals. They could only defend their territory and were unable to effectively expand their territory.
Because the Starry Sky Behemoth are willing to protect the Star Human Race from harm, but are unwilling to fight for their interests.
Therefore, the Star Human Race do not usually venture outwards, focusing instead on developing their own star domains and defending their territory. At the same time, they are highly vigilant against any forces entering their star domains, and may even directly attack them.
The Star Human Race is very sensitive to external forces, so the interstellar cruise ship travels around its boundaries.
Jiang Ziliu listened to the intelligence reports and watched the images and videos of the Star Human Race on the electronic screen, including footage of them fighting alongside the Starry Sky Behemoth.
It can be said that the White Orchid Chamber of Commerce is very trustworthy; once the money is paid, the information provided is completely accurate and transparent.
The interstellar cruise ship stayed at one of the major interstellar ports here for three days.
While other tourists disembarked to explore and merchants made brief transactions, Jiang Ziliu remained still, observing everything with his spiritual power.
He saw Star Human Race aliens, similar to Human Race but with skin that shimmered with starlight, and sensed their unique blood connection to the stars.
As for the Star Human Race, he only observed them for a while and did not conduct much research.
Jiang Ziliu observed these small business owners in his industry more closely.
They spend most of their lives on interstellar cruise ships, and the three to ten days they spend docking at major ports is the best time for them to buy or sell goods. They prefer to buy and sell goods that are not very valuable but are relatively rare.
These people rely on interstellar cruise ships for survival. The profits are not high, but the advantage lies in their lifelong safety and stability, and they have continuous resources to improve their strength.
As long as the interstellar cruise ship itself doesn't encounter any problems, they live a more stable and comfortable life than the creatures on inhabited planets.
Starship itself welcomes the presence of such businessmen.
The White Orchid Chamber of Commerce looked down on these troublesome and painstaking small profits, but at least half of the profits from these small merchants' back-and-forth travel were handed over to the interstellar cruise ship in the form of tickets.
At least 30% of Star Cruises' revenue comes from them.
Observing these creatures made Jiang Ziliu realize that not only powerful beings can survive well in the starry sky, but also intelligent people who can find a good way to survive.
Most of these small merchants came from weaker ethnic groups.
However, there is no shortage of powerful clans among them.
For example, Goblin!
Goblin in business and also adept at creating various machines and mechanical puppets, wielding considerable power in the cosmos.
However, some Goblin didn't like to associate with their own kind; they were all too shrewd.
Some Goblin chose to go it alone, but nine out of ten of them met with bad luck; they were part of the small business owners on this interstellar cruise ship.
They are outliers, however; they love collecting raw materials and resources to create all sorts of practical Goblin weapons and golems, and then selling them when the opportunity arises.
Their forging skills are quite good, especially in the area of mechanical puppets.
Jiang Ziliu observed some of the Forging Rule from these Goblin merchants, which made him somewhat suspicious of the Goblin race. He suspected that their ancestor or strongest member might be the one who had tampered with the Forging Origin.
Because of this observation, the ancestral god of the Goblin was also added to Jiang Ziliu's list of those to be wary of.
After leaving the Star Human Race, the interstellar cruise ship subsequently appeared in a special star system.
This star system is very special because it contains an incredibly large supercontinent that resembles a star system.
But the continent doesn't have much land; instead, it's an endless ocean.
This is not a natural terrain, but an interstellar ocean created by a powerful God.
This star field belongs to the Starfish Half-Human Race.
Their race originated from a marine life-bearing planet here, and they are an Wisdom race that evolved from starfish after undergoing a mutation.
The strongest among their kind was a low-level river God.
This person transformed their original star system into a vast, continental ocean environment the size of a star system.
The unique environment here has attracted the curiosity of countless people, making it a famous tourist attraction in the Milky Way.
The Starfish Half-Human Race are a relatively open race; apart from the deep sea, which is a forbidden area, outsiders can freely visit other places.
Of course, those who surpass a certain level of strength will arouse their vigilance.
This race is a farming-oriented race that excels in marine aquaculture, loves peace, and dislikes war.
However, they possess extremely strong regenerative abilities and are exceptionally adept at utilizing the Water-Element Rule.
Their tamed beasts are also starfish of various types, possessing all sorts of strange skills and powers, which makes their combat strength by no means weak.
The Starfish Half-Human Race is considered one of the most powerful races in the Milky Way.
The cautious Jiang Ziliu also did not disembark, but simply stayed on the boat to watch this rare spectacle of the starry sky and ocean.
This place can be considered a breeding ground for aquatic beasts, and people of other races come here to capture aquatic beast cubs.
The Starfish Half-Human Race will be open to the public on a limited basis, charging fees to generate revenue while maintaining ecological balance.
After leaving the territory of the Starfish Half-Human Race, Jiang Chuliu's interstellar cruise ship passed through the territories of countless other races in the Milky Way.
What he saw along the way broadened his horizons.
Gradually, his previously enhanced strength was completely stabilized, and his journey drew closer to the center of the Milky Way.
This place is rich in resources, and due to its special geographical location, it has become a public area as well as a place where countless hidden powerful figures live in seclusion.
