Civilization's Supreme Treasure Projects, Academy Delegations, the Goals of Each Side, Black Iron Academy
Three hundred years have passed quietly, and the Human Federation has been established for 1,000 years. In these 300 years, many great events have occurred.
Perfected Tianqing guarded the southern front of the Heavenly River Defense Line, slaying the Ghost King of the Ghost Clan who attempted to reinforce with his flying sword. In a short time, he pushed the defense line to the vicinity of the Black Iron Star Domain, making him famous among the nearby High Tier civilizations.
The Upper Realm [Clear Void Heaven] was invaded by the Ghost Clan and Void Beasts, and sought refuge with the Black Iron Human Race. Heavenly River True Lord personally took charge, dispatching nearly a thousand star system migration ships to relocate the one-light-year-sized [Clear Void Heaven] several thousand light-years away, making it the eastern border barrier of the Human Alliance.
Of course, there were also many other sensational events. The Inner Scene Earth Immortal cultivators were able to open up inner realm blessed lands with spatial spiritual objects, which shocked and envied countless High Tier races, who sent delegations, scholars, and commercial companies to come and learn and purchase.
In just four hundred years, the Black Iron Academy Star System, which had always been at the forefront of the battle, not only did not decline due to the war, but instead became more and more prosperous.
A fleet of bizarre and unusual interstellar warships from beyond the region arrived in the Academy Star System under the escort of Human Federation patrol ships.
Upon entering the outer reaches of the Black Iron Academy Star System, these interstellar warships skillfully navigated the surging Heavenly River leading into the interior.
On a golden spaceship crafted from the magical metal adamantite, Archmage Sophia led a group of over a hundred students from the Gold Academy to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
One student exclaimed excitedly, "Is this the famous Heavenly River?"
At this time, their spaceships had already sunk into the Heavenly River. Their speed was not reduced by the resistance of the Heavenly River water, but instead maintained a speed 20 times faster than the speed of light.
One knowledgeable student boasted, "Hehe, this isn't just a magical treasure of that True Lord; it's said to have been continuously refined with the power of the entire civilization to possess such terrifying power."
Curious, he asked Sophia, "Vice Dean, there's a [Golden Magic Star River] surrounding our Gold Academy. Was it built based on their experience?"
Seeing their curious and innocent expressions, Sophia's tension from years of warfare eased, and she nodded in confirmation, "That's right, that's the initial experimental project. If the results are promising, our Gold Human Race will also invest heavily in building the [Golden Magic Star River] to protect our borders."
After saying that, she looked out the spaceship window at the clear and vast Heavenly River Way, feeling somewhat envious. Over the years, she had often exchanged and studied at the two universities, and this Heavenly River, which had resisted countless demons, was one of the most important points.
Now we have a general idea of the conditions required to refine such important cultural artifacts.
Besides the most crucial laws of life, death, and purification, one also needs a position qualified enough to Bearing cause and effect and control precious treasures.
The former is easily accomplished by established, High Tier- level civilizations, while the latter is extremely difficult. It requires establishing the absolute authority of the civilization's leader, who must also possess a substantial amount of merit to qualify for control.
The Gold Human Race has reached a consensus on this point: the Eternal Dharma King, a late-stage powerhouse whose lifespan is nearly Eternal, is undoubtedly deserving of the title.
Even if this is definitively established, the controller will be impacted by the imagery of countless intelligent beings offering sacrifices and commemorating the gathering, gradually shifting their position and moving towards becoming the ruler of civilization.
This is something that other civilizations and races would find very difficult to Imitation successfully.
Fortunately, the Gold Human Race has a profound foundation. Even without forging a super Golden Magic Star River connects the entire civilization, they can still distribute their forces in different regions. The advantage is that they can manage these regions easily, and some envoy-level figures can also guard a region by virtue of their High Tier rank.
The downside is that it's not very useful for resisting High Tier attacks; it's only suitable for low to mid-level battlefields.
At this moment, Sophia looked towards the other two directions of the holographic projection, which were the delegations of the Bronze Human Race and the Silver Human Race, led by the Sword Emperor Jiuli and the Wind Spirit Dragon Master, whom she was quite familiar with. She asked with a smile.
"Gentlemen, your [Priestly Incense Yearflow] and [Star and Moon Tidal Lightway] projects should be almost finished, right?"
The Bronze Human Race, whose progress was the slowest, had their Sword Emperor Jiuli smile somewhat awkwardly, "You don't know about our project. We'd be lucky to complete it within 1000 years. The sacrifices require too much incense. If it weren't for the fact that the effects are quite good, we probably would have given up."
The Wind Spirit Dragon Master remained as serene as ever. "It's indeed almost finished. With the help of the authority of the esteemed elders, the construction was much easier, but the protective effect isn't quite as good."
Upon hearing this, Sophia understood. These families, having acquired most of the sacrificial refining knowledge through some beneficial transactions, would not be foolish enough to simply copy it verbatim. Instead, they would adapt to local conditions, making the most of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses to achieve the greatest effect.
As they chatted, the group of interstellar warships quickly arrived at the university's central starport along the Heavenly River. The shipborne intelligent agents connected with the outside world, confirmed safety, and then jumped out one by one into the new port's berthing area.
Only then did the young students get a clear look at the entire academy: 36 planets were distributed in three layers of orbits, with 18 on the outermost layer, 12 in the middle layer, and 6 in the innermost layer. They were all arranged with a unified gravitational field to regulate their orbits and maintain their operation.
What they didn't know was that the Academy Star System was arranged in such a way that it formed a magnificent defensive domain that exceeded the limits of the Purple Mansion Thirty-Six Star Heaven Grand Configuration, making it a veritable star system fortress.
Their arrival, comprising more than a dozen delegations, immediately attracted the attention of the monks and students within the starport.
A real person was already waiting there early on. She was dressed in a clean moon robe, with fair and flawless skin that exuded a faint fragrance of osmanthus. She was like a goddess from the moon palace, and also had the air of a scholar. She was quite unique.
Behind her stood four or five high-ranking members of the Purple Mansion Perfected Person Academy, whose life force fluctuations were quite young, all under 500 years.
Upon seeing the delegation arrive, Yuan Qing took a few quick steps forward to greet them, "Fellow Daoists, how have you been? Let's talk as we walk."
He then looked at several rather unfamiliar faces, whose races and physical appearances were not human-like, and as if remembering something, said in a tone that was both polite and quite certain, "These three fellow Daoists from the Mechanical Court and the Myriad Gods' Kingdom Domain, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your previous application to research and create microcosms and planes using spatial spiritual objects has been rejected by me."
One of them was a Middle Tier 3 mechanical lifeform, with a spherical shape in the shape of a special pattern. Its tentacles were made of various precious and extraordinary metals, and it swung in the air in a rather strange way. One of its arms vibrated the air and made a sound.
Reasons for rejection.
As they walked and talked, Yuan Qing explained, "Spatial spiritual objects are unique products of our Primordial Qi Transcendent System. Only cultivators can use them. If you try to use the mechanical force of the Mechanical Modification System, either the extraordinary forces will collide and collapse, or they will erode each other and turn into ordinary objects."
He then looked at the cat-person priest at the back of the three groups and bluntly stated, "As for creating planes to supply intelligent life, it is explicitly forbidden by our lord and written into the laws of the transcendent. If intelligent beings stay for more than a month, a terrible calamity will descend and destroy everything. You can forget about it."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Chen Ning tried to smooth things over and changed the subject.
"Everyone, we're using it directly because the Transcendent System isn't compatible. You can also help some of the student race members transform into the Primordial Qi Transcendent System."
Thus, by building a few extraordinary ecological planets with primordial Primordial Qi, one can obtain corresponding space equipment or produce items from Earth Immortal cultivators.
There are still some things that Yuan Qing didn't say. Whether it's possible to successfully transform into Transcendent System across races, and to what stage one can cultivate, is all unknown.
She held onto her last trump card, calculating in her heart. "With Master Heavenly River's [True Method of Transforming All Forms into One Body], these alien races can refine their physical bodies and become humanoid after entering the Primordial Qi. After death, their true spirits can break free from the constraints of bloodline and reincarnate into the human race, which is the same."
At the same time, she felt somewhat relieved, "Fortunately, almost all civilized races have reproductive isolation, so even if humanoid races join, it can prevent them from contaminating the human gene pool."
The cat-human priests were somewhat surprised by the Human Federation's openness and lack of discrimination against races that had switched allegiance, and they developed a greater sense of goodwill towards this race.
As for the mechanical life forms of the other two Mechanical Modification System, they had no extra emotions and did not consider them at all.
Yuan Qing took in all these changes. "These mechanical life forms are so different from flesh-and-blood life forms. They have no emotions and are difficult to get along with."
The group transferred to a spacecraft at the starport and entered one of the six university's core star systems, namely [Earth Immortal Star].
Inside the spacecraft, each party had Purple Mansion Perfected Person serving as an academy instructor explaining the academy's situation to them.
"Fellow Daoists, the core of the Black Iron Academy Star System consists of six planets: [Heavenly Immortal Star], [Earth Immortal Star], [Divine Immortal Star], [Human Immortal Star], and [Ghost Immortal Star], as well as the [Hundred Meridians Star], which is outside the Dao Foundation System."
"We're heading to [Earth Immortal Star] now, the place with the second richest collection of spatial spiritual objects and Inner Scene Earth Immortal cultivators in the Human Federation."
"Many fellow cultivators have likely come here specifically for him. However, I must remind everyone that Inner Scene Earth Immortal do not allow sentient beings to remain for extended periods..."
