Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

Qingyang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "History, will, culture, ideals, knowledge, memory... are all truths, and time and space exist within truths!"

Truth encompasses time and space; for me, time and space in a broad sense are truth itself!

Silence fell over the scene, and Qingyang and the core crew members who had overheard the conversation felt a little nervous.

Finally, the voice of StarNet echoed once more.

You have determined your future life beliefs, and you have also determined the essence of your future power.

[Will determines the specific effectiveness and power of strength; believe that your power over time and space will extend far beyond the power of all things.]

The Star Network will help you ascend to a higher dimension, and the spacetime source you obtain will become a solid foundation.

Qingyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, clearly indicating that StarNet accepted his explanation.

Before Qingyang could utter a sound, supreme power suddenly descended, and Qingyang's physical body instantly transformed into a phantom source of data.

Under the influence of supreme power, the source of spacetime beside them merged into the source of data that Qingyang had transformed into without any resistance.

As time went on, the source data represented by Qingyang became increasingly ethereal, revealing an overall hazy and dreamlike colorful light.

At this moment, Qingyang's will was also constantly mobilizing his spirit and soul, gradually merging with the source data.

With the help of StarNet, this most difficult process became extremely simple.

The most prominent characteristic of higher dimensions is that will, soul, spirit, and body tend to become one and inseparable.

As the fusion proceeds, the scattered source data slowly regroups, eventually forming a giant cocoon of light.

The cocoon of light pulsated like a heart, and finally burst open at a certain limit!

Then, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure slowly landed on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, countless particles materialized out of thin air, coalescing into a familiar black-and-gold patterned garment.

The crystalline, hazy body solidified rapidly along with the clothing.

At first glance, Qingyang appears to be no different from before, but upon closer inspection, one can detect that endless streams of light seem to be flowing around Qingyang's body.

The overall impression is ethereal and indescribable, not like a physical entity, but more like a projection from a higher level.

Looking at Qingyang, whose aura was even more restrained than before, Gu Xing smiled and said, "Commander!"

Qingyang nodded slightly and smiled: "Let's get ready to set off and continue our journey."

Don't be in such a hurry, how about counting me in?

Chapter 230 Alliance Pioneer - Source Number Core!

Qingyang, whose emotional expression was severely suppressed due to his advancement to a higher dimension, was momentarily stunned by his otherwise indifferent expression.

Not only Qingyang, but also the other new core crew members, Wang Sen and Zhao Zunhai, were somewhat incredulous.

“This fluctuation… Ji Shang?!” Qingyang’s tone was full of uncertainty.

This is an alien universe that is infinitely far away from the main universe!

It requires specific means to reach and is an extremely uncertain alien universe!

Since the StarNet did not indicate any fluctuations in the Desolate Gate or the Universal Gate, it is highly unlikely that anyone from the greater universe would come to this place.

Even if it were possible, it wouldn't be something a T5 commander or even a T4 commander could do.

It's impossible for Ji Shang to suddenly become a T3 commander after only two or three years, right?!

With a somewhat dazed mind, Qingyang turned on the communication screen.

As a familiar face appeared on the central screen, Qingyang still hesitated: "Uh... Ji Shang?"

"What? You suspect I'm a memory created by meme distortion?" Ji Shang laughed loudly.

While they were chatting, a dazzling halo suddenly appeared in the nearby ruins' mooring area.

Immediately, a huge palace-style warship emerged from it; it was none other than the flagship of the Purple Cloud World Patrol Fleet that Qingyang and the others had seen before!

Shenxiao!

Once it was confirmed that the Shenxiao's local network code was authenticated, Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and asked in surprise, "The network didn't mention any wasteland delivery plan, so how did Brother Ji Shang get here?"

"To make a long story short, it was an accident."

Ji Shang seemed quite surprised by this situation.

"At the time, we were chasing the offspring of an evil god, and in the process, we accidentally stumbled into a desolate and dangerous place with Him."

The commotion caused by killing the evil god's offspring triggered anomalies in that dangerous area.

A desolate rift appeared out of nowhere. Having obtained some information about a nearby civilization's ruins, I decided to venture into the rift to investigate. Unexpectedly, I encountered you.

Upon hearing this, Qingyang was surprised. Could a crack, a spatial structure instability, cause such a vulnerability to appear in a desolate place?

As for the dangerous place and the offspring of the evil god that Ji Shang mentioned, Qingyang was also very interested.

Although Ji Shang spoke lightly, just thinking about it reveals that he could have been pursued for so long by this super genius whom Qingyang himself considered inferior, even to the point of chasing him into dangerous territory.

Clearly, this is not an ordinary divine offspring.

Like Qingyang, Ji Shang had all his starships except for the flagship housed in his inner space.

Only the flagship with the best overall performance was left to sail overseas.

[Commander Zixiao's application to join the ship has been received]

Qingyang readily agreed.

Ji Shang immediately appeared in the control room. Upon seeing Qing Yang, whose aura was restrained and ethereal, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that in just a few years, the former sixth or seventh-level extraordinary commander would become a high-dimensional commander."

Ji Shang seemed quite pleased and patted Qingyang on the shoulder.

As Qingyang and Ji Shang walked toward the rest area, Qingyang smiled helplessly and said, "I would be happier if the process could be smoother, but Brother Ji Shang is as mysterious as ever."

Even from my higher-dimensional perspective, I still cannot fathom Brother Shang's level of existence.

I'm not exaggerating, I really can't feel it...

Upon hearing this, Ji Shang smiled mysteriously.

"Ahem, guess what? Here's a hint: it hasn't reached the divine level yet."

"..."

It seems they have reached the level of a higher-dimensional, higher-star life form.

Seeing Qingyang's unsure of what to say, Ji Shang put his hand on Qingyang's shoulder: "Don't be envious. As long as you reincarnate dozens of times, you can do the same thing as me!"

Ok?

Is this sentence a bit too much information?

Qingyang stored his guess in his memory, then looked at Ji Shang: "Let's put that aside for now. What did you mean by 'together' earlier, Brother Shang?"

"There's nothing I can do. Before the Gate of the Universe was established, I couldn't return to the greater universe on my own, at least not now."

"Besides, I didn't come to this universe through the Gate of Desolation, so I don't have a return ticket. I can only wait a few months before going back, and in the meantime, I'll be traveling with you," Ji Shang explained.

Qingyang's eyes lit up immediately; this was a true high-level fighter!

"Hey, don't look at me like I'm some kind of laborer."

Seeing Qingyang's delighted expression, Ji Shang waved her hand helplessly, muttering to herself.

These two, father and son, have such similar personalities.

"How could that be, Brother Shang? What laborer? We're partners! Partners who will share the spoils of war!" Qingyang's expression was very bright.

The slight emotional impact caused by the promotion seems to have completely dissipated.

Faced with Qingyang's words, Ji Shang felt a strange sense of déjà vu once again, as if someone had said the same thing before.

Without waiting for further thought, Qingyang took out a detailed star map of the Sorulan ruins.

Although the most important thing in the entire ruins has been obtained, there are still many other items that will be of great help to the T5 and even T4 star fleets.

Surely those rare resources, high-dimensional crystals formed from ninth-level civilizations, and strategic materials such as rule polymers wouldn't be contaminated or distorted?

The core elements of distortion are intelligence and agency; at the very least, one must possess an intelligent program like a pseudo-will to corrupt and distort.

Most resources and materials do not possess the characteristic of being related to consciousness.

"The 901 Strategic Resource Base, the 663 Research Base, and the Seventh High-Dimensional Anomalous Matter Storage Center in the central region—as far as I know, the things inside these places are still there..."

Qingyang quickly explained that he had hesitated to explore the resource base and storage center because he was concerned about the combat power of the Eternal Fleet.

Now that Ji Shang has arrived, there's no need to even think about it; he's immediately added to the exploration list!

Ji Shang looked at the markings on the star map and the detailed information on the three ruins without much hesitation: "No problem, when should we set off?"

"Of course, now. We need to get out of the inner area of ​​Solulan first. If there are even a few of those things, we won't be able to handle them." Qingyang said decisively.

If hundreds of high-dimensional beings launch an attack simultaneously, it would probably take ten eternal fleets to barely hold them off.

Not to mention the many terrifying twisted beings who are at the peak of high dimensions or even pseudo-divinity.

Even a full complement of T5 gold-level fleets would struggle to compete with a fleet that is not at the T4 level.

"By the way, Brother Shang, how large is your fleet?"

"One hundred thousand."

"Full strength?!"

"Yes, is that strange?"

My fleet is a legacy fleet, and it was very large at its peak.

The way to acquire starships is simply to suppress the level of the high-level starships in the inherited fleet and gain control of them.

"..."

Qingyang smacked his lips in envy; personally, he really wanted to experience that feeling.

[Route setting complete]

Qingyang refocused his attention and thought for a moment: "Do you know about the Starry Sky Space?"
