Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

Even for legion-type commanders, the ability to increase the command limit by five times is probably worth more than five epic-level star weapons.

As for removing the theoretical upper limit of the mental threshold, Qingyang felt that this improvement was not very significant.

Those who can reach the theoretical limit are undoubtedly the top geniuses of the alliance, not geniuses like Qingyang who considers himself to be of average ability.

Rather, they are truly born with exceptional talent, possessing top-tier luck, hard work, and wisdom—a number that is estimated to be no more than three digits in the entire alliance over hundreds of billions of years.

Secondly, advancing to the next stage will not only increase mental strength, but also greatly boost physical strength and quality.

Simply staying in one stage for too long is not a good thing.

[Incorrect. After advancing to T4, collaborators will gain the T3 mental threshold effect ahead of time: Refinement and Concentration.]

Choose a mental threshold as the control point; when this threshold is exceeded, you can choose to refine and precipitate, where the quantity remains the same but the quality increases.

Depending on the commander's mental strength, this effect can be used 2-5 times; the higher the strength, the better the foundation for advancing to the next stage.

Starting at T3, the higher the mental threshold, the more enhanced the actual effects of Star Weapons and the overall software capabilities of Starships, allowing for the control of more Starships.

Normally, a commander can only refresh this function three times in their lifetime, but the Alliance has a ring stacking technology, so that's a different story.

Qingyang understood, then grinned and said, "I used to think those predecessors with many overlapping rings were very strong, but now that they've become stronger, I feel they're even more terrifying."

With a sigh, Qingyang looked at the next entry, his pupils suddenly dilating.

Congratulations on obtaining the entry "Twin Souls Without Form (Perfect, Special, One-Time Use)"

Unique effect:

It gives birth to an external avatar, possessing independent fortune, will, life source, personality, and everything else that an independent human being possesses.

At the same time, the soul memories of this avatar will be completely linked to those of the collaborator (possessing an independent mental threshold).

This avatar will enjoy all the benefits of the Star of Truth and will awaken a top-tier Star Talent.

[Note 1: Regardless of whether the avatar or the original body dies, if the cycle of reincarnation fails, as long as one of them survives, the cycle of reincarnation can continue regardless of the failure condition.]

[Note 2: This avatar will never be hostile or alienated from its collaborators]

[Note 3: This avatar allows you to choose the gender and talent type (Legion/Special)]

[Note 4: Commander talents are shaped by StarNet through personal innate fortune, willpower, and similar talents, optimized using source data.]

Consuming this entry will grant the avatar the fortune of a desolate narrative level, the willpower foundation of equal collaborators, and the budding talent provided by the Star of Truth.

"Huh? How come this avatar seems even more powerful than me after it was born?!" Qingyang exclaimed in astonishment.

No, without the Star of Truth, the collaborator's overall talent would be equal to that of the avatar. The Eternal Protocol has already enhanced the collaborator's original talents by approximately 65% ​​across all aspects.

Qingyang was taken aback; this was the first time he had heard the Star of Truth evaluate his original abilities.

Even without the Star of Truth, he's still a top-tier prodigy by Alliance standards...

To be honest, Qingyang wasn't surprised. He was no less capable in terms of soul veins and family heritage; just look at his older brother and father.

Moreover, the fact that the Star of Truth approached him was the greatest affirmation; Truth wouldn't look favorably upon a mediocre person with only average willpower and talent.

"Is it immediately realized after selection?"

Qingyang snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the entry for the Twin Formless beings with curiosity.

The perfect nurturing of such a prodigy requires following the normal process—birth, growth, and awakening.

There's no need for you or me to concern ourselves with these trivial matters; the StarNet will handle them.

[Memory association requires the avatar to develop subjective will, around eight years old]

"Understood, then it'll be a female character, with Legion-type talents."

After all, they had signed an agreement with the Alliance. Qingyang didn't believe that the Star of Truth and the Star Network hadn't communicated.

Qingyang decisively chose the female avatar, and memory sharing is similar to data being stored in the mental threshold, which can be 'recalled' at any time.

It's not always connected, otherwise it would be too strange.

In the heart of the alliance, high in the starry sky, the boundless, shimmering blue Qingyun Dao paused slightly.

He scanned the messages from the StarNet with his mind, a strange look on his face.

Spirit, will, personality, fortune, etc., are independent entities, but they are manifestations that are deeply connected with spiritual memory, emotions, and parts of the origin of will.

Isn't this what it means to be a close, soulmate? No, there's an even deeper connection, one that's far stronger than just being soulmates.

"You can't call it an incarnation, can you? What kind of extraordinary encounters has Qingyang had?"

Qingyun shook his head slightly and closed his eyes again.

Meanwhile, amidst the azure clouds.

Yuwen Xue, standing by the lake, gazed with delight at the exquisite baby in her arms, whose body was filled with a rich aura.

She just learned the details.

"As expected of Xiao Yang, although there is no blood or soul connection, this is still much closer than those relationships."

"When I was little, I always said I wanted a little sister. I never thought I could make one myself." Yuwen Xue's face was full of joy.

Talent or not doesn't matter, the main thing is that I have a companion now.

"Then let's call her Qingyue, Little Qingyue~" Yuwen Si laughed happily.

A little elf appeared in front of the enormous Tree of Ideals, looked at the baby below, pondered for a moment, and then waved its little hand.

The incomparably pure essence of the Source of Idealism continuously merged into its life essence and even its will, until Qingyue could no longer absorb it.

Even though the eldest young master always bullies me, surely the second young lady wouldn't do that if I build a good relationship with her beforehand?

Unaware that StarNet had directly given this avatar to his mother, Qingyang was seriously considering the starship that needed to be created directly.

“We must have one immortal-type war star, and the other can only be a star destroyer,” Qingyang pondered.

Without the Immortal Star Destroyer, the master blueprints for upgrading custom ships to T4 obviously cannot be applied to newly added warships.

After all, one of the new T4 warships is similar to a dreadnought and is associated with a star destroyer.

"In that case, let's go back to base and advance to T4 first."

Chapter 323 Promotion to T4 - Entering the Core of the Alliance

On the way to the Saint River Alliance's base, Qingyang opened the introduction to the Desolate Truth Phase Matrix technology and quickly scanned it.

Although he didn't know its detailed value, Qingyang had a general understanding of its uses.

The technology, which is no less powerful than the Gate to the Universe and is in some ways even more terrifying, has completely touched the desolate narrative layer!

The technologies involved are very complex, mainly revolving around data, communication, and rule unification technologies, as well as a large number of other related technologies.

It possesses and significantly weakens the impact of the desolate narrative on the Alliance as a whole, and allows the Alliance to ignore the different rules and law frameworks of the other universe!

Many of the core technologies, source data, Universal Gate StarNet nodes, and StarNet servers are highly compatible.

This technology can clearly greatly enhance the technological strength of the alliance.

"In short, it's a desolate local access controller..." Qingyang raised an eyebrow slightly.

In barren regions and even other universes, directly create rules and laws that benefit the alliance and give it complete control, without being rejected by the will of the universe.

Or perhaps it's a matter of the cosmic will having no right to reject it, coupled with the fact that it allows most of the Alliance to escape the influence of the desolate narrative, preventing them from being bound by the unseen narrative lines and predetermined fates and causes...

Overall, it's extremely powerful. The civilization that developed this system technology is probably no less advanced than the Alliance in terms of the same development time!

[Source: An unknown data civilization in its universe, completed the research and development of the Eighth Retrospective Era (from its birth as the first era).]

It has stripped itself of most of the desolate narrative line, forming its own destiny; its current state is unknown to the Star of Truth.

[Appendix 1: Before this civilization broke free from the desolate narrative, its potential and development speed were comparable to the Alliance]

[Appendix 2: The Star of Truth can only intercept data before a civilization fully utilizes this technology; therefore, this technology is a test technology.]

A mysterious civilization with potential and development speed no less than the Alliance, yet it only successfully developed its core technology in the Eighth Retrospective Era?!

Qingyang's eyes widened. If the effects of this technology couldn't give him a clear understanding, then he immediately understood this comparison.

The Alliance might need another two or three back-to-back eras to develop this technology!

Although the universes may differ and the timelines of the retrograde era may be roughly different, it is still a universe capable of giving birth to such a powerful civilization.

It is at least not much weaker than the vast universe, and may even be stronger, with a longer interval between retrograde eras!

Of course, more than these things, Qingyang was concerned about the meaning of the second reminder.

Can the Temple of Truth extract and query barren narrative threads?!

Otherwise, why would the Star of Truth be unable to intercept technology after this mysterious civilization broke away from the narrative of desolation?

Isn't it said that the Temple of Truth can no longer be recorded once it is separated from the narrative layer of its own universe?

The Temple of Truth cannot record this information, but it doesn't say that the Star of Truth cannot actively search for it.

Within the desolate narrative, whether it be an individual, a civilization, or the universe, the past, present, and future are like a book; viewing the past, present, and future is like turning pages, without any loss of information.

Qingyang pondered and roughly understood the meaning of the Star of Truth: the desolation is like an infinitely vast book, as long as one does not jump out of the desolation and break away from the narrative.

Can one freely manipulate or search for anything within a book once they attain a certain level of power?

[Incorrect. Nothing can affect the desolate narrative; at most, it can only step outside or hide itself within the desolate narrative line and peruse it from the 'reader's' perspective.]

Of course, the narrative is merely a name and understanding of a certain supreme law; it is not a 'book' in the true sense, and there is no 'author' involved.

Qingyang was deep in thought.

Amidst the boundless, dreamlike ocean of clouds, within the magnificent temple of truth, in the mysterious void, a brilliantly radiant crystal with forty-two facets, its light endlessly flowing, flashed.

An information storm, as if speaking to oneself, suddenly appeared in the hall.

Is the narrative thread just a concept? Perhaps...

......

On the other side, Qingyang stopped thinking about miscellaneous things and stared intently at the seemingly ordinary Radiant Bracelet in his hand.

The Ring of Truth

[Introduction: Gathering truth, uniting reality]

[Effect: Unaffected by any narrative thread of the universe, wonders, or desolation; grants immediate transcendence upon wearing (limited to the individual and closely related powers)]
