Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

By a series of coincidences, I encountered the founder of the Soyang Empire, which was then a level three civilization. I then followed him on his journey.

Even now, the empire has fallen, but I still remain here.

The Soyang Empire?

Did this scientific research site belong to a level nine civilization?

No wonder this civilization is so remarkable; its mastery of rules alone is at the peak of level nine!

It turns out there was assistance from a long-established high-dimensional data life form.

Of course, even so, this civilization must have had quite good fortune and a strong will to fight. Otherwise, even with the help of powerful high-dimensional data life forms, it would still be extremely difficult to develop into a level nine civilization!

High-dimensional data life also has its own growth.

That is the core high-dimensional data foundation, a special core that only high-dimensional data life forms can 'see' each other.

Similar to a phantom sphere, but more solid and enormous; the more data patterns there are, the higher its actual strength!

There is no systematic growth model for enhancement; the deeper the intervention in reality or other dimensions, the stronger the data foundation becomes.

The simplest way is to control the machinery in the real dimension.

Qingyang said he understood, then asked curiously, "How did the Suoyang Empire perish?"

A powerful Level 9 civilization is already a pillar of the universe and cannot continue to be included in the fixed cleanup range.

As for warfare, according to the pattern of this universe, politics and trade are the mainstream between interstellar civilizations, and wars of annihilation are unlikely to occur between intermediate and advanced civilizations.

Moreover, it's a level nine civilization!

Lopkin remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly hesitant, before finally speaking: "Annihilation."

"Eighty percent of the Empire's high-end forces and fifty percent of its main legions are gathered in the edge of the universe to cooperate with other forces in resisting the invasion of destruction."

Due to the unfavorable war situation, the empire's high-end forces and main legions were almost wiped out. The excessive loss of the high-end forces accumulated over a long period of time caused a great fluctuation in the civilization's fortune, and a gap appeared in the empire's fortune line.

Ultimately, a powerful entity of destruction invaded the entire conceptual scope of civilization along the path of destiny.

As a result, all living things related to the empire, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and even machines and intelligent beings, gradually lost all concepts of thought and consciousness, and could not be stopped.

Other physical creations and historical cultures also vanished rapidly, beyond the reach of even the macrocosmic realm, for they were all 'annihilated' by the destruction of the civilization's fortune and will...

This colossal scientific research facility is a relic I preserved through all my efforts and in accordance with the destruction protocol.

Can things destined for destruction, through concepts like destiny, directly disrupt a civilization at the narrative level?!

Qingyang immediately understood the method of destruction: to disrupt the Empire's narrative in the universe!

Suddenly, the orb representing Ropkin trembled slightly: "Now that you've arrived, this ruin is yours to keep..."

Qingyang, who was deep in thought, was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

To hand over the ruins, which had been preserved at great expense, directly to oneself?

"Because you are more suitable than I to take over this ruin, after all, the Suoyang Empire is also a pan-human civilization..."

As Prokin finished speaking, his voice gradually faded.

"With my burden lifted, I will continue my journey, witnessing more universes and worlds, and returning to the Holy Land with my own truth..."

Whether he was speaking to Qingyang or explaining to Lilith, Prokin's figure vanished instantly after saying those words.

All that remained were the crowd staring at each other in disbelief and the central control terminal, which had lost its intelligent programming and ceased to function.

Seeing this, Lilith didn't hold back and directly swapped her main data will with her clone, entering the central core.

In an instant, the previously dim data patterns lit up again.

And because of Lilith's active control, the brightness and various circuits of the entire scientific research building were restarted.

After countless years, this enormous and intricate structure remains without any defects or wear, and tens of thousands of research modules with different functions have entered self-inspection mode.

Dozens of researchers quickly entered the control room of the central control terminal, working with Lilith to rapidly browse the research catalog of the giant structure.

The massive scientific research institutions belonging to a civilization have too many functions and categories. In addition to cutting-edge technology and military, the scope of civilian scientific research blocks is also very large.

We need to plan and categorize this to identify useful technologies and items.

Qingyang was not interested in that, but instead asked about the Star of Truth.

"How's it going? The Tower of Glory should be all renovated by now, right?"

Judging by the time, it's been almost exactly one star of Hai Ri since the Tower of Glory renovation began.

[Three minutes and thirty-five seconds remaining]

【...】

[Renovation Complete]

Qingyang glanced at Belya and the others who were still organizing the data before saying, "Unfold the data and let me see what it's for."

[The Honorer]

[Quality: Epic (Special)]

[Description: Blessed with glory, granted sacred honors]

[First effect: Defeating a powerful enemy has a chance to grant Heroic Merit, unconditionally upgrading one Star Weapon's quality by one level (maximum Epic)]

[Second effect: Defeating enemy forces grants a chance to obtain a Medal of Glory, unconditionally upgrading the talent quality by one level (maximum Epic). If already at Epic, it increases the talent's accumulation by one level (not effective for Star-level talents)]

[Appendix: Definitions of strong individuals and powerful forces, varying according to the strength of their respective commanders]

Ok?

At first, Qingyang thought he had misread it.

Only after confirming it again did a huge sense of surprise well up inside me.

Both effects are undeniably powerful, with the second one being the most terrifying!

Although it is no longer of any use to Qingyang himself, it is probably more important to the Alliance than ten thousand epic commanders combined!

"Commander! Guess what we've found!!"

Suddenly, Belya's surprised voice brought Qingyang back to his senses.

"What?" Qingyang asked curiously.

Belya smiled excitedly: "Macro-Sky Mirror Delivery Technology."

And... the embryos of five million humans from the Soyang Empire!

However, something seemed off about him.

Qingyang's expression immediately turned serious. The importance of a level nine pan-human civilization to the alliance goes without saying. In addition, with the superior development of the rules and technology of the Suoyang Empire, a level ten civilization is basically a certainty.

Unfortunately, a sudden calamity caused this promising civilization to fall.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, its potential is that of a powerful nation!

The help and boost it brought to the alliance far exceeded that of dozens or even hundreds of low-level pan-human civilizations!

"Local area network, find a way to transmit this message back to the Alliance!"

As he spoke, Qingyang moved directly to Belya's side and looked at the embryos on the screen.

What comes into view are five million fetal-like infants rising and falling within incredibly sophisticated crystal devices.

A rich circuit of life energy spreads across the device.

The condition of the fetuses made Qingyang solemn; thin, grayish-white threads, barely perceptible to the naked eye, were appearing around them.

Each time the silk thread moves, the fetus's image becomes distinctly ethereal and flickering before returning to its solid form.

It's as if it could disappear from the real world at any moment.

However, the instrument data showed that the fetus was perfectly normal and no abnormalities were detected.

Even those grayish-white threads were undetectable by the equipment, and the fetus's condition remained within the standard range.

"Destruction..."

Qingyang thought to himself silently.

Although it is unknown how the Soyang Empire and the Destruction Agreement managed to preserve the five million embryos, the narrative remains undisturbed.

But these five million fetuses are clearly still in the midst of destruction and disruption.

"Back then, the Destruction seized the civilization's fortune in Suoyang by following the gap in the river. Now, these five million fetuses have survived and maintained the last bit of fortune for the Suoyang Empire."

Qingyang concluded, "That's why the interference from that destroyed statue continues to interfere with Suoyang's last hope along this thread of fortune."

Belya nodded: "That's basically the reason."

Upon hearing this, Qingyang calmly said, "If that's the case, I do have a solution."

The core crew members around them all looked over. They knew that this was a conflict between the fate of a destroyed nation and a level nine civilization, and the commander actually had a way to resolve it?

"As long as they become part of the alliance, Suoyang's fortune will be integrated into the alliance," Qingyang sneered.

Destruction?

Do you have the ability to challenge the will of StarNet?

As for how to become one, that's even simpler!

"Local Area Network, based on the Eighth Rule of Pan-Human Civilization encountered outside the main server range, the Third Protocol of the Unity Protocol."

"The target human civilization has been confirmed to have met all the criteria for joining the alliance. We are requesting an emergency signing of the source data alliance agreement!"

Qingyang suddenly shouted.

[Confirmation complete, Commander Qingyang]

[It is confirmed that the target pan-human civilization fully meets the requirements for joining the alliance, and will sign on its behalf in accordance with the Unification Agreement.]

If you sign this agreement, you will become a permanent guarantor of that human civilization, and you will be responsible for any problems that arise in that civilization.

The local network operates according to a mechanical program.

"Sure!"

Qingyang did not hesitate at all. The Suoyang Empire was only in its embryonic stage, and its foundation was extremely malleable. As long as the alliance took over the education work, there was no way anything would go wrong!

[The signing is confirmed, and the target—the pan-human group concept and narrative layer—is being accommodated through source data and cosmic space.]
