Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1248 I'm all developed

Xia Xiu watched as the two civilization lines finally connected, his fingertips tracing from the 777th world to the 500th world, and then from the Holy Covenant Empire to Utramar.

With the help of the Thirteenth Elder, Luo Jia's Covenant Empire finally completed the most missing piece of the puzzle—the institutional blueprint and mega-engineering experience of an advanced interstellar civilization.

Next, with the help of his father and the thirteenth prince, Luo Jia began to ramp up production.

[In the fifth round of the extraterritorial intervention, the Holy Covenant Empire and Utramar completed the integration of their technology, municipal, military, and administrative systems. Luo Jia unlocked the "Pre-Mobilization Order for the Megastructure Era"]

[The entire industrial system of World 777—including its home planet, colonies, orbital industrial cities, deep-space docks, and interstellar military ports—has been moved into the megastructure construction sequence.]

[In this round, the Covenant Empire unlocks the preliminary framework for the megastructure project provided by Utramar, including: basic theories of stargates, a prototype of the orbital ecological ring for the expansion of the deep-space dock, and a stellar energy harvesting array; Luo Jia invests the first batch of resources into the outer ring of World 777 to begin construction of three preliminary megastructure foundations.]

In the sixth round, the outer orbit of World 777 was completely transformed into a construction site.

Countless engineering ships sailed out of the starport, towing giant skeletons, energy pipelines, reality anchor cores and living quarters, laying out the first silver-white megastructure foundation along the outer ring of the mother planet. From a distance, it looked like an unclosed steel ring slowly taking shape on the outer side of the planet.

[In the sixth round of extraterritorial intervention, the Holy Covenant Empire launched its first mega-project—the [777 Outer Ring Orbital Ecological Ring]; this project is jointly overseen by the Utramar Engineering Advisor, the Holy Covenant Empire's Orbital Industry Bureau, and the Holy Word Church, with the goal of providing long-term population resettlement, food production, industrial expansion, and fleet logistical support for the 777 world.]

[This round unlocks the following tech trees for the Covenant Empire: Modular Construction of Orbital Ecosystems, Megastructure Worker Scheduling Protocol, and Interstellar Labor Coordination Law]

[Civilization Tree Unlocked: Megastructure Construction Committee and Colony Sector Resource Requisition Order; Civilization's production focus shifts from expanding ordinary ships to constructing star system-level infrastructure.]

In the seventh round, Luo Jia turned his gaze to the stars.

The Covenant Empire's engineering fleet arrived at the outer edge of the main star of World 777 and deployed the first batch of energy harvesting satellites and reflector arrays in a safe orbit. Hundreds and thousands of metal mirrors began to spread around the star, directing the enormous amount of light and heat energy to the orbital industrial city and deep space dock.

[In the seventh round of extraterrestrial intervention, the Covenant Empire initiated its second mega-project—[the prototype of the Dyson Cloud]; although the project has not yet formed a complete stellar envelope structure, it is already capable of providing continuous energy to the orbital ecological ring, deep-space dock, and real-world anchor test station through large-scale energy harvesting satellites.]

[Within this round, the Covenant Empire unlocks: Stellar Energy Harvesting, High-Density Energy Transmission Network, and Mega-Scale Energy Distribution]

[Rogar ordered that the newly acquired stellar energy be prioritized for supplying the fleet's shipyards and the Reality Anchor Test Site, thereby simultaneously increasing the Covenant Empire's ship construction speed and sector defense strength.]

In the eighth round, the stargate preparation base began to light up.

Luo Jia knew that the Holy Covenant Empire wanted to enter the main battlefield of the Five Hundred Worlds, and that conventional faster-than-light travel routes were far from enough. Therefore, he devoted the third mega-project to the Stargate Network, preparing to transform the 777 World from an isolated island under protection into a forward outpost that could support Utramar at any time.

[Eighth round of extraterritorial intervention: The Covenant Empire initiates its third mega-project—the Stargate Preparatory Foundation!]

The project's main framework was provided by experts from the Utramar Stargate, while the Covenant Empire was responsible for energy, materials, and local space calibration. The goal was to establish a stable stargate connecting the edges of the Five Hundred Worlds before the protection period ended.

[This round, the Covenant Empire unlocks: Stargate Control Law, Interdimensional Route Calibration, and Strategic Stargate Defense Regulations]

The first batch of Stargate garrison fleets, Reality Anchor frigates, and Covenant Marine Corps were incorporated into the newly established 777th Outer Expeditionary Command.

In the ninth round, the Covenant Empire began to engage with the true logic of mega-scale warfare.

Ordinary fleets can only compete for shipping lanes and star systems, but megastructures can change the resource distribution, population capacity, and military projection of an entire star sector. Luo Jia quickly realized that the future Red Scar War would not be won by the number of fleets alone. Whoever can transform a star system into a war machine will be able to gain a foothold on the outer battlefield.

[In the ninth round of extraterritorial intervention, the Covenant Empire completed the integration of its mega-structural system; the 777 outer ring orbital ecological ring entered the first phase of closed testing; the Dyson Cloud prototype began to provide stable power; and the stargate preparation base completed spatial coordinate locking.]

[This round unlocks the following for the Covenant Empire: a massive shipyard, a prototype planetary shield, and a colossal defensive force!]

[Luo Jia upgraded the 777 World Outer Ring Shipyard to a megastructure-class fleet production node, beginning the construction of cruiser-class capital ships and heavy railgun platforms.]

In the tenth round, the Holy Covenant Empire completed its first megastructure era settlement.

The ecological ring of the outer ring of World 777 lights up with city lights, the prototype of Dyson Cloud transmits stellar energy to the dock complex, the stargate preparation base emits low vibrations in deep space, and the reality anchor test station is like a series of nails, stuck between the edge of World 777 and World 500.

[After ten rounds of extraterrestrial intervention, the Covenant Empire completed its civilization stage leap: [Eleventh Tier - Interstellar Empire] → [Twelfth Tier - Megastructure Era].]

[Currently constructed megastructures include: Phase I of the 777 Outer Ring Rail Ecological Ring, the prototype of the Dyson Cloud, the preliminary base for the stargate, the actual anchor test station cluster, and the megastructure-class deep-space dock.]

[New military units unlocked: Cruiser, Heavy Railgun Platform, Megastructure Defense Force, Stargate Guard Fleet, Reality Anchor Frigate, Covenant Expeditionary Force.]

[Current Narrative Status of the Covenant Empire: World 777 has evolved from a single interstellar empire into a colossal epochal civilization possessing massive infrastructure, stellar energy harvesting capabilities, stargate preparation capabilities, and a cross-dimensional expedition system; Roger Abraham has gained strategic support qualifications to enter the main battlefield of World 500.]

On the Psionic Throne, Xia Xiu looked at the results of the tenth round, and his expression finally relaxed a bit.

Luo Jia's shortcomings have been addressed. The Holy Covenant Empire possesses interstellar mobilization, industrial explosion, and war execution capabilities, while Utramar possesses administrative integration, ascension technology, and a local foundation in five hundred worlds. Once the two civilization lines are connected, they basically lack nothing.

Xia Xiu's fingertips gently touched the [Narrative Book], and the stargate preparation base on the outer ring of World 777 lit up slightly, while the other end pointed to the edge of World 500.

That glimmer of light was small, but on the star map of the [Book of Narratives], it had already pierced the depths of the red scar like a nail, connecting the Covenant Empire, Utramar, and the sea lanes at the edge of the Five Hundred Worlds into a clear line of advance.

"Next, it's about time to give those cosmic country bumpkins a little bit of heavenly shock."

Xia Xiu's gaze swept across the five hundred worlds, finally settling on the area where the remnants of the Winged Emperor of the Gate Empire were most active, his tone carrying an undisguised smile.

"Especially that troublemaker, the Gate Empire, is the most active. Let's target him first and clear out all the civilizations and remnants of the Gate that he supports."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Farah Antius below the Psionic Throne.

"High Priest Farah, my development here is almost complete. You Eldar have always wanted to deal with the Winged Emperor, right? Now you can cooperate with me to wipe out all his civilizations in the five hundred worlds."

Farah Antius was clearly taken aback. Xia Xiu had been fiddling with the platinum book and knew that the other party was supporting a civilization within the Red Scar through some kind of higher-level narrative, but to her, not much time had passed in the outside world.

From the time Xia Xiu started making his moves to now saying that he has almost fully developed his skills, there has only been this short period of conversation in between.

That's way too fast! Even if you were cheating, you couldn't have gotten this fast. You've only been playing for a short time!
She couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency Abraham, are you sure your civilization is fully developed? The level of civilization in the main battlefield of the Five Hundred Worlds is completely different from that in the peripheral miniature garden. Although the Winged Emperor of the Gate Empire suffered a loss in the 777 World, his core Gate civilization still remains deep in the main battlefield."

Xia Xiu smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm not bringing a small tribe or a newly launched civilization this time. Give me the names and coordinates of the civilizations that your Eldar have interfered with in the Five Hundred Worlds, and tell them to prepare to welcome our ally."

He tapped his fingertips lightly on the [Book of Narratives], and the civilization lines of Utramar and the Covenant Empire lit up simultaneously.

"On my side, one is called Utramar, an Ascended Era Civilization; the other is called the Holy Covenant Empire, which has just entered the Megastructure Era and is currently connecting to the Five Hundred World Battlefield."

When Farah Antius heard the words "Age of Ascension," his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

She originally thought that Xia Xiu would at most push a certain peripheral world to the level of an interstellar empire, but the other party opened with an Ascension Era Civilization and a Megastructure Era Civilization.

No, are we playing the same civilization narrative game?

Farah Antius paused for a moment, then finally raised his scepter and connected the Eldar genealogy network to the Platinum Table.

The southeastern border of the Five Hundred Worlds emerged, a purple-silver star sector slowly lighting up, containing a defensive line composed of psionic stargates, virtual beacons, psionic fleets, and numerous mental anchors.

"The civilization supported by the Second Otto World within five hundred worlds is called [Alansur Star Garden].

"It is located in the southeastern arm of the 500th world, at the boundary between the 92nd and 107th worlds. Its main star is [Alansur]. Its current civilization stage is the 13th level, Star River Hegemony. It has completed the prerequisites for psionic ascension and is advancing towards the 14th level, the Ascension Era."

She raised her hand and pointed to that star sector, and a purple-silver light spread outward, revealing a fleet of slender, psionic ships on the star map, their hulls resembling a mixture of crystal and white bones.

"The Starry Court of Ailanthur follows the psionic fleet route. They possess virtual navigation, psionic sailing ships, mental shields, prophetic command chains, and a star-singing fleet coordination system. Their direct confrontation capability is weaker than that of heavy industrial fleets of the same level, but they are extremely strong in ambush, prophecy, mental interference, stargate raids, and high-level fleet maneuverability."

"They were originally responsible for restraining the expansion of the gates in the southeastern string arm of the Flying Emperor, but the civilization supported by the Gate Empire has a large number of folded gate ships and space transfer nodes, and the two sides have been deadlocked for a long time."

Xia Xiu looked at the purple-silver star field and nodded.

Give me the coordinates.

Farah Antius thrust his scepter forward, and a string of Eldar genealogical coordinates fell into the [Book of Narratives].

[Eldar Interference in Civilization: Aran'sur Starforge.]

[Civilization Stage: Tier 13 - Galactic Hegemony, prerequisites for the Psionic Ascension route completed.]

[Location: Southeastern arm of the 500th world, at the boundary between the 92nd and 107th worlds.]

[Civilization Characteristics: Virtual Navigation, Psionic Fleet, Prophet Council, Mind Shield, Starsong Fleet Coordination, Prophetic War Planning.]

[Current hostile target: The civilization supported by the Winged Emperor of the Gate Empire—the main civilization zone of the Hecate Gate.]

Xia Xiu glanced at it, then synchronized the coordinates of Utramar and the Holy Covenant Empire.

"Let the Star Court of Ailansur prepare to welcome my civilization. Utramar will go first to take over the main battlefield rhythm. The Covenant Empire will be responsible for entering from the outer ring stargate of World 777. Once the three fleets have rendezvoused, we will directly launch an attack on the Hecate Gate."

Farah Antius remained skeptical.

She knew very well that the flow of time inside the miniature garden could be stretched extremely fast, but she also knew that the development of civilization was not something that could be solved simply by stacking turns.

Technology tree, civic tree, population loyalty, logistics network, fleet industry, megastructure infrastructure—any one of these things going out of control can cause a civilization to collapse during its rapid advancement.

Xia Xiu, however, seemed completely unconcerned about these issues.

Farah Antius finally nodded.

"I will use this turn to issue diplomatic and military orders to the Star Court of Alanthur."

She raised her scepter, and the purple and silver light of the Eldar genealogy network extended along the platinum table into the depths of the five hundred worlds.

[In the eleventh round of extraterrestrial intervention, the Second Otto Elite race issued its highest command to the Star Court of Alanthur through the genealogical network.]

[The Star Court of Alansur lifts its high-risk civilization alert for Utramar and the Covenant Empire, designating them as temporary allies, and opens the 99th World's Edge Psionic Stargate, three Void Beacons, and two Starsong Fleet safe routes.]

[The Council of Prophets of Aransur has entered a state of wartime prophecy, beginning to re-analyze the Hecate Gate's main civilization district, the Gate Empire's folded gate fleet, and the remnant gate network of the Winged Emperor; the Psionic Fleet has withdrawn two Starsong fleets from its defensive array to prepare to welcome allies and launch a joint war.]

After the Eldar command was given, the purple-silver region on the star map finally opened a passage towards Utramar and the 777 world.

Xia Xiu watched the gradually forming three-way convergence line and gently pressed his fingertips on the main civilization area of ​​the Hercate Gate.

The star map of the [Narrative Book] then concave inwards, and the three lines of advance—Utramar's blue and white fleet, the Covenant Empire's platinum stargate route, and the Alansur Starlight Court's purple and silver psionic route—were like three spears thrusting in from different directions, gradually aiming at the core of the gateway that the Winged Emperor had been cultivating for so long.

Xia Xiu's lips slowly curled up, his smile carrying a distinctly wicked glint in them.

"We hope that the Winged Emperor will like the surprise we prepared for him."
