The Chosen Ones a terrorist organization within the Crimson Alliance whose goal is to overthrow the existing government and establish a nation ruled by Transcendent.
The members of this organization believe that Transcendent individuals are the darlings of the heavens, while ordinary things are nothing more than dust and ants, and should be allowed to take whatever they want.
Such an extreme ideology could not possibly be accepted by the Alliance, after all, the vast majority of the Alliance's trillion-strong population are ordinary people.
However, for many Transcendent individuals, the world depicted by the Chosen Ones is incredibly alluring, and it is entirely based on the perspective of the Transcendent individuals' class, which undoubtedly provides fertile ground for the Chosen Ones to grow and expand.
In essence, the emergence of the Chosen Ones organization is an inevitable result of class conflict.
Even without Chosen Ones, similar organizations will emerge.
As long as there is a significant difference in the life hierarchy between Transcendent individuals and ordinary humans, similar situations will be unavoidable.
As he watched the scenery rushing past, Lancelot had many thoughts in his mind.
The spaceship quickly reached outer space, activated its warp drive, entered subspace, and disappeared into the vast universe as a streak of light.
Planet Golden Bridge, a low-magic planet, is located on the border of the Crimson Alliance and was originally a colony of the Vist Empire.
However, a century ago, the Vist Empire was embroiled in a civil war and split into two empires: Iridescent Light and Soaring Dragon.
With internal warfare raging, the border regions were naturally neglected. Taking advantage of the situation, a group of space pirates attacked and occupied Planet Golden Bridge. After the Crimson Alliance sent troops to drive out the space pirates, they took control of this low-magic planet.
Both the Iridescent Light Empire and the Soaring Dragon Empire accused the Crimson Alliance of acts of aggression.
However, the Alliance countered that since the space pirates had already conquered Planet Golden Bridge, the planet no longer belonged to Planet Vist.
Isn't it only natural that we drive away the space pirates and reap the spoils?
Besides, the Vist Empire has collapsed, so even if I wanted to repay it, there's nowhere to do so.
Between the two of you, who can represent the legitimate successor to the Vist Empire?
After this explanation, the two great empires were rendered speechless, because they could not possibly acknowledge the other's legitimacy. Their conflicting statements gave the Crimson Alliance ample room to maneuver.
In the end, Iridescent Light and Soaring Dragon had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
However, in written documents, neither of the two empires ever acknowledged that Planet Golden Bridge belonged to the Alliance, and their internal propaganda claimed that the Alliance had taken the opportunity to plunder Planet Golden Bridge.
After reviewing the information about Planet Golden Bridge, Lancelot strongly suspected that the group of space pirates were the Alliance's secret agents; otherwise, what a coincidence!
That said, when the Vist Empire colonized Planet Golden Bridge, it was too remote and was considered a resource planet, so management was very rough, almost like a hands-off approach.
The requirements for the various races and tribes within the planet are not high; they only need to pay a certain share of resources on time each month.
Under these circumstances, the natives of Planet Golden Bridge lived quite well, free and unrestrained. Apart from having an emperor emeritus above them, little had changed, and their sense of resistance was not very strong.
But after the Crimson Alliance took over Planet Golden Bridge, the situation changed dramatically.
As is well known, the Crimson Alliance is a notorious infrastructure powerhouse and maintains extremely tight control over its colonized planets.
The Alliance not only dispatched a large number of troops, but also required all races on Planet Golden Bridge to register all their land, money, population, food, etc., and to obey the Alliance's arrangements for a large-scale adjustment of their residential areas.
The natives of Planet Golden Bridge were outraged, especially the ruling class. They felt it was better to kill them than to make them register their land and taxes.
Thus, a large-scale rebellion broke out.
However, faced with the powerful and virtuous Crimson Alliance, the rebellion on a low-magic planet was utterly insignificant and was quickly suppressed, with many high-ranking natives being publicly beheaded.
Only then did the natives of Planet Golden Bridge calm down and obediently follow the Alliance's arrangements.
But this is only the surface. In reality, the flames of resistance have never been extinguished, terrorist attacks break out from time to time, and Alliance citizens are killed almost every day.
The Alliance doesn't have a good solution for this situation.
Mass killings are unrealistic.
On the one hand, it's too wasteful; intelligent races are the most valuable resource.
On the other hand, there are the constraints from international treaties. Since the Elven Plane connected with the Astral Realm, civilization has prevailed over barbarism. The chains called order and morality have, to a certain extent, bound the claws of the beasts.
Although the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest still apply to countries, at least on the surface, they all put on a facade.
This might be hypocrisy.
However, it is undeniable that this hypocrisy has reduced the occurrence of too many bloody events, allowing the Elven Plane to advance by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, it will inevitably be a long process for the Alliance to completely subjugate the natives of Planet Golden Bridge.
Due to the unique situation on Planet Golden Bridge, the Chosen Ones organization quickly took root and flourished there, absorbing a large number of Transcendent individuals from the local natives. With the covert support of the Ashes Organization, they gradually grew stronger, eventually attracting the Alliance's Scavenger Operation.
A day later, a beam of light leaped from the sparse starlight in the distance, drawing a beautiful and ethereal arc.
On the projection screen, a beautiful and captivating planet orbits a massive star.
Its body is predominantly blue-green, but the equatorial part is golden-orange, as if a belt is wrapped around it, or as if a rainbow bridge has been built on the surface of the planet.
It is precisely this unique landscape that earned the planet the name "Planet Golden Bridge".
Buzz!!
With a peculiar buzzing sound, the spaceship docked at the airport.
After Lancelot disembarked from the spaceship, he looked around and found that it was a space station under construction. At the edge, countless construction machines and workers were busy like ants. Every moment, the space station was expanding.
"I heard the Alliance plans to develop Planet Golden Bridge into a transportation hub. Once this space station is fully completed, its size will probably rank among the top ten in the Alliance," Vermila said, standing beside Lancelot and looking around.
Lancelot nodded slightly and smiled, "Let's go see the commander of this operation."
