Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

Each time a ring overlaps, a fleet of the same size and condition can completely overwhelm the state before the ring overlaps, thus demonstrating how terrifying the ring overlap is.

The fifth protocol directly increased the amplification intensity of the first-level superposition by more than five times!

Even the effect of that basic characteristic, which only reaches T4, is comparable to a ring stacking each time, and can be instantly improved within a lifetime!

However, a problem arises: I definitely won't need ring superposition in the short term...

Of course, even so, the Fifth Protocol is still terrifying.

The fleet has now reached Tier 5.

[Basic trait activated: All fleet attributes increased by 15%]

It's comparable to the combined power of a comprehensive Purple Gold Commander talent!

Qingyang closed the panel with satisfaction. Although the core features were unusable, the basic features alone were worth the price of admission.

Just as Qingyang was about to get up and leave, he remembered something and glanced at another personal attribute.

[Due to the blessing of a mysterious force, the T4 Commander's Mental Threshold effect is enabled ahead of schedule.]

[Endless Loop: Upon reaching the T4 mental threshold, the commander can reincarnate with their memories and talents, choosing between spiritual reincarnation or rebirth.]

[Higher-dimensional will: Interference and pollution originating from the level of rules will completely disappear, the soul will be elevated to a higher dimension, and the level of life will gradually improve on its own until it reaches a higher-dimensional life level.]

As expected, the first function is indeed related to the superposition of rings and reincarnation.

Higher-dimensional will...is it a form of stronger fleet power feedback?

It's likely that the time required to reach a higher dimension won't be too short, but it also won't be too long.

Qingyang was in a great mood, and his gaze suddenly stopped on the opportunity to enter the Hall of Truth on the Star of Truth panel.

To be honest, because I was in a rush to awaken Tianling, I haven't used the opportunity to enter the Hall of Truth that I could have used at T6 level.

The Hall of Truth, which requires 10,000 Truth Points to enter once, is probably different from the Alliance's Hall of Extraordinary Arts.

Thinking of this, Qingyang asked, "How long does it take to enter and exit the Hall of Truth?"

From an outsider's perspective, it's just one second.

"The Star of Truth replied."

One second...

"Open the Temple of Truth!"

Loading

In an instant, before Qingyang could react, an incredibly intense white light completely enveloped him.

His consciousness returned quickly, and what Qingyang saw was an endless expanse of brilliance, brilliance and splendor in every sense of the word.

In the boundless space, there are huge, irregular, and dazzling crystalline flows everywhere, whether they are strange rocks and mountains, flowers and trees, or mirror-like oceans...

Countless crystals, like sparkling gems, yet also like liquid and mist, gentle and formless.

I can't tell what colors they are.

It seemed to contain all the colors of the world in a dazzling crystal sea, radiating a soft glow.

Qingyang was standing on the surface of a dazzling ocean that looked like a mirror.

Looking down with a hint of curiosity, Qingyang seemed to see a vast starry sky, within which a civilization was developing at an extremely rapid pace.

Earth's surface — interstellar — faster than light — extinction...

All the mysterious and enigmatic things created by this civilization—knowledge, history, will, culture, and cognition—formed tens of thousands of bubbles.

Drifting on this dazzling ocean.

Qingyang curiously poked a bubble, which didn't burst, but a huge amount of information instantly flooded into Qingyang's mind.

That encompasses the foundational knowledge of materials science in this civilization, as well as the memories of all its scientists in the field, all their human emotions, and their understanding of all things...

The mental threshold began to operate sluggishly and rapidly.

Qingyang quickly organized this information and stored it in the block, then deleted a massive amount of irrelevant information from his mind before returning to normal.

Without touching the bubbles again, Qingyang gazed thoughtfully around.

"truth......."

Qingyang stepped out. The dazzling ocean beneath his feet was only a tiny part of this boundless space, yet it contained information about countless civilizations.

If tens of thousands of bubbles represent one civilization, then how many civilizations do the bubbles that make up this ocean represent?

"Star of Truth?"

【Excuse me】

The voice of the Star of Truth was not the mechanical sound of before, but an extremely grand and ethereal sound of chaos, which resounded simultaneously from all directions.

"Is this the Temple of Truth?"

【Yes】

Is this place related to the universe?

Yes, but not many.

Qingyang nodded slightly, looking around: "So what benefits can I gain here?"

The Endless Palace contains truths from infinite civilizations and even higher-dimensional realms. Collaborators can find a truth involving rules, and if it is recognized, they can obtain a higher-dimensional template.

[Each entry can only grant this reward once]

[Additionally, collaborators can teleport here.]

Qingyang suddenly realized what was happening. He glanced at the countless bubbles beneath his feet and immediately left without hesitation.

Then they appeared in a dazzling lotus-like structure.

Countless crystals, resembling flower buds, swayed around, each containing the essence of an entire civilization.

Qingyang looked at each person one by one, but didn't linger. Instead, he teleported away immediately.

After teleporting countless times, Qingyang finally stopped amidst a vast, ring-shaped expanse of dazzling light.

Looking at the fist-sized sphere of light before him, Qingyang's expression was inscrutable.

The truth within this ball of light is all created by a human civilization, based on the civilization's history that Qingyang has roughly observed.

This human civilization existed even before the Alliance was formed!

The most important thing is the level of human civilization in this place!

Level 9 Civilization - Explorers!

Qingyang stared intently, and without much hesitation, reached out and pointed at the brightest particle of light in the sphere.

Please note that the truth embodied in the will of a Level 9 civilization is not easily obtained.

Chapter 175 Explorers: High-Dimensional Template

That's right, Qingyang chose the truth.

It was once the will and embodiment of this ninth-level civilization, representing the lofty will and destiny of the entire civilization.

The concept of being without thought or form is the core of a civilization.

Qingyang did this naturally, without being certain of his success.

It's just an impulse and a feeling, and besides, as long as it involves the fortunes of pan-human civilization, things are always going well?

At the moment of contact, Qingyang's consciousness seemed to be absorbed into the will of this civilization, and in a trance, he witnessed the birth and progress of the will and all living beings.

Qingyang felt as if he were in a dark, golden space where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, and a huge mass of will immediately appeared.

Then, an indescribably majestic eye of will silently watched over Qingyang.

The crimson-gold divine star on his forehead gradually appeared, radiating endless and boundless willpower belonging to mankind.

After gazing for a few breaths, the Eye of Will slowly closed, transforming into a soft radiance that landed in front of Qingyang.

His consciousness returned to the Hall of Truth, and Qingyang was still somewhat dazed as he stared at the seemingly 'ordinary' ball of light shimmering with soft light in his hand.

'The journey of explorers is not over yet.'

'Carrying humanity's anticipation and awe for the unknown, we move forward...'

Finally, after countless years, in the Hall of Truth, the last vestige of the explorer's civilizational will vanished completely.

Only the most fundamental structure and core of the civilization's will remain.

As for the true power of will, it transformed into a polymer of rules, floating in Qingyang's hand.

The next moment, Qingyang reappeared in the Eternal's residential area.

[The sixth protocol detects a polymer with specific rules; should it be converted into a template?]

The true will of a level nine civilization is certainly more than just a mere aggregate of rules; it's just that the Explorer civilization has long since perished.

Everything that remains in the temple of truth is nothing more than an illusory 'meaning of existence'.

Now, this meaning is presented to Qingyang in a simple, rule-based polymer model, containing the core will and aspirations of the explorers of human civilization.

Explore the mysterious, and learn about the unknown!

Qingyang didn't hesitate: "Confirm conversion to template!"

[Conversion in progress, expected to take ten days]

Satisfied, I closed the panel. Although the enhanced high-dimensional energy source of the Seventh Protocol is still a mystery, this is a good start.

As the Seventh Protocol and the Sixth Protocol overlap more and more, the Eternal Fleet's combat power will become stronger and stronger.

While I wouldn't say they completely overshadow the top talents in the alliance at the same stage, they can at least be ranked on par with them.

The crew members left one after another the following day.

Even as the core crew members leave one by one, how could the journey to another universe possibly end in a few years, or even in a hundred or a thousand years?

Going home to visit relatives is essential.

Starting with the T5 fleet, the time perception of core crew members and commanders became less pronounced.
