The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

After awakening his past life memories and gaining confidence from the Heavenly Demon Panel, his mindset underwent a tremendous change.

"So be it, I'll immigrate. The lack of oversight in the immigration star seems to be a convenient excuse for me to suddenly become stronger later."

With the Federation's heartland having a sophisticated interstellar network, and the presence of the Goddess of Dawn who oversees justice and fairness, he found it difficult to conceal his unusual behavior.

The Goddess of Dawn, the true ballast of the Human Federation.

It is the core intelligent processing system of the entire civilization, governing the overall operation of human civilization and having a profound impact in various fields.

The Goddess of Dawn strictly adheres to the Federal Charter and handles internal affairs with impartiality and selflessness. The Goddess of Dawn has made invaluable contributions to the Federation's development into the great, glorious, and dazzling nation it is today.

Moreover, as a personified intelligent god, the Goddess of Dawn is undoubtedly the Federation's strongest mechanic with her absolute computing power.

Even today, the image of the Goddess of Dawn piloting her mecha and annihilating the Hengxing system remains a haunting nightmare for alien civilizations.

The StarNet is an extension of the Dawn Goddess's mechanical domain.

Otherwise, achieving seamless real-time communication in the vast universe would be virtually impossible without the intervention of superpowers.

On Red Cloud Star, where the interstellar network is highly developed, if Ji Chen were to become stronger by relying on the Heavenly Demon Panel, he would be like an incandescent light in the dark, extremely conspicuous.

Even if he had confidence in the character of the Goddess of Dawn, he couldn't help but feel greedy among the other high-ranking superpowered individuals.

"Since there's nothing we can do right now, why not experience some of the entertainment activities in interstellar society?"

Dimensional points take time to accumulate, and this gap period is a good time to experience the advanced nature of interstellar society.

"From a different perspective, things we've gotten tired of before seem fresh again. Let's go, virtual reality online game, start!"

Having gained confidence in the future, Ji Chen threw himself into the interstellar game.

As a man, how can I resist a sci-fi masterpiece?

Gently touch the silver-white bracelet on your wrist, and a three-dimensional panel is projected onto your retina, displaying a complete array of lifestyle modules.

Ji Chen quickly glanced at it, satisfied his eyeballs, and then directly called upon the intelligent AI assistant:

"Little Ou, Little Ou."

With so many modules, even centenarians might not be able to figure out their specific functions, let alone young people like Ji Chen who can only barely manage to use them with the help of an AI assistant.

"I'm here."

A clear and ethereal voice rang out, just two simple words, and Ji Chen felt as if he had fallen into a bamboo forest with a clear spring flowing through it, which made him feel relaxed.

"As expected of a superstar with over a trillion fans, the name 'Light and Ethereal Dream' is well-deserved."

"This voice, even with superpowers, is still too amazing. No wonder I spent tens of thousands of star coins on this voice module in this life."

Light Dream, whose real name is Chu Miaoyin, is a well-known superstar in the Federation, as well as a famous player and guest in the Superpower League.

It is said that Chu Miaoyin, who is only 42 years old this year, is already a powerful five-star superhuman, and is hard to beat in the younger group under 50 years old.

Not only is she incredibly powerful, but her looks are also top-tier in the Star River Era, making her a supermodel with stunning beauty. Combined, her popularity and fame are renowned throughout the universe.

Before his memories were awakened, Ji Chen was a member of this superstar's fan club.

The sound module that comes with Xiao Ou is part of the fan merchandise.

"I never thought I'd actually become a fan of a celebrity."

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Chen casually opened the celebrity photo albums he had previously collected before starting the game.

"The headlights are bright, the body lines are smoother than silk, and the outline is full and powerful. The flying car endorsed by a big star is fashionable and grand."

After the immersive interactive projection ended, Ji Chen wiped the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of the lifetime, his vision remained consistently excellent.

But Ji Chen quickly put those distracting thoughts aside.

There's a world of difference between him and this superstar; they're not even on the same level and can't even connect.

Ji Chen has always been pragmatic when it comes to people he can't have.

"Xiao Ou, search for information about new immigrant planets related to Red Cloud Star."

Everything else was secondary; the only pressing matter for him was imminent migration to a new planet, a fact he urgently needed to overcome.

Unfortunately, perhaps Ji Chen's citizenship level was not high enough, so apart from knowing that the planet he was going to immigrate to was Capricorn, he could not find any other information.

This is an interstellar version of information blockade.

Despite the advanced state of federal technology, the information cocoon is no weaker than in the previous life.

Or, to put it another way, due to the development of artificial intelligence, the information that each citizen obtains from the StarNet is the one that has been filtered and retained in a personalized manner.

Helpless, Ji Chen could only savor the last vestiges of interstellar society.

If you can't do anything serious, then play around.

"Xiao Ou, open the Space Pirate Adventure for me."

"Yes, Master."

When the white light dissipated, he found himself in a city suspended among nebulae.

The transparent glass beneath my feet reflects the spiral arms of the Milky Way, while in the distance, interstellar trains leave rainbow trails behind them.

This is not a simple virtual scene—the moist metallic scent fills your nostrils, the breeze on your cheeks is just the right amount of pressure, and even the friction of your skin against the nanosuit feels terrifyingly real.

He could even smell the odor of the car exhaust decomposing in the air.

"Touch, taste, and smell—these virtual elements that were difficult to overcome in my previous life—are as simple as eating and drinking here."

"I'm not a tech expert, I'd better play the game first. According to the walkthrough I remember, I should find a broker to get me a derelict spaceship..."

. . . . . .

One game after another, with a level of realism that blurred the lines between reality and fantasy, gave Ji Chen, a country bumpkin caught between the old and the new, a real blast.

When he came to his senses, three days had already passed.

Or rather, it was the reminder from the smart assistant Xiao Ou that made Ji Chen realize he had been playing for three days.

After playing for so long, even for interstellar humans, it's quite exhausting, both mentally and physically.

"Master, it's 7:00 AM on June 8th. You've been playing for so long. The game is great, but please don't get too addicted."

"Three days have already passed? How fast time flies."

After playing for three days and three nights, Ji Chen, still in high spirits, skillfully canceled the virtual overlay.

At the horizon, the starlight broke through the dawn's glimmer, and molten gold-like sunlight flowed across the surface of the red cloud star, abruptly awakening the slumbering atmosphere.

The entire sky seemed to have been splashed with liquid flames, and the clouds refracted brilliant rays of light under the effect of ionization.

This unique water phase change is the origin of the name "Red Cloud Star".

There weren't many beautiful sights to admire, but the water phase changes on Red Cloud Star really appealed to Ji Chen, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It was another twenty minutes or so.

"People in this era really know how to enjoy life. Games, beautiful scenery, and convenience are all things that I, an old-fashioned person, can't even imagine."

"Take this virtual game for example. I'm using a wristband instead of a brain-computer interface chip, which provides greater stimulation to the brain. I've heard that playing games with a brain-computer interface chip can even activate your sixth sense."

However, he was a feudalist from the interstellar era, and he simply couldn't accept the idea of ​​implanting foreign objects into such an important area as the brain.

Many people believe that doing this means there is absolutely no privacy left.

Despite the federal government's endorsement of brain-computer interfaces, praising them to the skies and insisting that the information read by brain-computer interfaces will be kept confidential and inaccessible to anyone except the person who reads it.

However, many people still won't buy it and blindly trust the federal government's credibility.

Imagine a planet suddenly infiltrated by powerful alien beings, facing these terrorists who could cause significant destruction.

When it really comes to the need for mobilization, the absolutely rational Goddess of Dawn will not care about this loss of credibility.

The right to privacy is not written into the federal charter.

"Moreover, brain-computer interfaces can record the brainwave activity of the host in real time. If any evil or wicked thoughts come to mind, the brain-computer interface may store that information."

But the appeal lies in the artistic works that are 18+ and designed to cultivate the mind and body.

In Ji Chen's previous life, he even deleted his browsing history on the internet, let alone recording all his mental activities.

I feel so incredibly ashamed!

After a few words of reflection, Ji Chen gave up the temptation of the best gaming experience. Moreover, with the Heavenly Demon Panel already in his possession, installing a brain-computer interface was simply a blatant disregard for his own life.

goo goo-

A series of rumbling stomach sounds seemed to awaken all of Ji Chen's cells in that instant, and hunger devoured him like a raging fire.

"I was so engrossed in it that I forgot to eat."

Ji Chen's expression changed, and he pounced on the kitchen like a hungry tiger.

The discomfort in my stomach gradually subsided after I put two energy bars in my mouth.

At that moment, a message marked in red on the bracelet caught my eye.

[Mr. Ji Chen, a first-class citizen of the Federation, in order to advance the interstellar colonization strategy, and as approved by the xxth meeting of the Joint Interstellar Immigration Bureau (JSAI), you are hereby formally notified that you will be undertaking the Capricorn immigration mission on July 10, 12025 AD...]

[Boarding locations can be set at the balconies of immigrant families' homes or within their residential communities. Individuals are permitted to bring no more than 5 kg of personal belongings. A list of prohibited items is available on Annex p-27... Please prepare accordingly. For any questions, please call xxxxxxx.]

The mention of June 5th made Ji Chen's eyes narrow.

"The official notification was issued so quickly! Federal administrative efficiency wasn't like this before."

"I have a feeling that the federal government's actions are a bit too hasty."

Lacking the necessary information, people like Ji Chen from the lower class could not guess the reason at all, and could only bury the shadow brought about by this incident in their hearts.
