Chapter 725 Star Alliance
The Star Alliance, located in a corner of the universe, is quietly developing according to the plan of its leader, Lin Xiaohe.
No one could have predicted that from the moment Guixu Star collided with Blue Star, the history of the Star Alliance would embark on a path that no cosmic civilization prediction model could have foreseen.
On a cosmic scale it is but a moment, but for the Covenant it is a transformation from “a loose group” to “a civilizational paradigm”.
Guixu Star is now the central hub of the Star Alliance.
It is surrounded by concentric circles, with the innermost layer being the original Earth's core and the outermost layer being a "root layer" woven from trillions of nanorobots and living vines.
Those roots extend outward, piercing into the void, connecting every node of the Covenant scattered across thousands of light-years.
The original concept of a super battleship based on the solar system has been retained and refined.
Today, the entire southeastern section of the spiral arm has been transformed by the Covenant into a living starship.
Using gravitational waves as the cable, pulsars as the lighthouse, and the collective consciousness of stardust humanity as the guide.
The Covenant's "territory" is not an isolated star system, but a constantly growing network.
The once technological marvel, the "Sky-Reaching Divine Tree Space Elevator," has long since been replaced by the "World Tree" system.
The original space elevator connected several planets in the solar system.
Today, the World Tree system is an interstellar transportation network composed of hundreds of star roots.
Each star root is a tubular structure several kilometers in diameter, with an interior channel compressed into subspace, connecting different star systems at both ends.
Traveling by star root has reduced the time required to travel from one galaxy to another from several months to just a few days.
This technology originated from the selfless contributions of Jormungandr and was inspired by the unique communication pathways of the Hobstar civilization. Through the combined efforts of scientists from Guixu and Blue Star, it was successfully transformed into a technology known to the Covenant as "Vessel Travel."
The World Tree's "trunk" is a super hub surrounding the planet Guixu, known as the "Eden Ring".
It was a luminous ring with a diameter exceeding that of Jupiter's orbit, with tens of thousands of ports evenly distributed inside the ring, where various ships from all over the Covenant were docked.
From single-person shuttle boats to "Ark"-class immigration ships spanning hundreds of kilometers, they all dock here.
Outside the Eden Ring are continuous ecological domes, each containing a complete biosphere.
Some replicate the Amazon rainforest of ancient Earth, others are the silicon-based deserts beloved by the Rock Clan, and still others are spiritual vein simulation fields specially designed for cultivators who have awakened to immortality.
Buzhou Mountain Starport was originally a transit point for Jupiter. Now, Jupiter itself has been fully "utilized" by the Star Alliance.
The Covenant cultivated a giant planktonic organism called the Abyssal Whale in Jupiter's helium oceans. This was in honor of the Sonic Whale, a close companion of the Stardust humans.
The bodies of the Abyssal Whales can contain small cities. They feed on the vortex energy of Jupiter and provide the Covenant with an extremely rare superconducting material: whalebone.
Buzhou Mountain Starport now floats above Jupiter's cloud layer, more like a ranch and port of the Abyssal Whale, where humans and the Abyssal Whale have established a tacit symbiotic relationship.
Weasley returned to the Arbiter to conduct routine checks on the Great Wall System Defense Array.
This is a three-tiered defense system covering the entire territory of the Covenant.
The outer layer is an active psionic barrier, driven by the Zerg's colossus; the middle layer consists of millions of automated turrets and warp jammers, managed by the Stardust Humans' distributed intelligence; and the inner layer is a sword array of cultivators who have awakened to immortality.
Not long ago, all Stardust humans, the survivors of the primordial black hole, and the humans on the Blue Star of Guixu, ushered in a great evolutionary leap.
Many cultivators who have awakened to immortality have entered the Star River Realm, where they can connect their spiritual consciousness with the Great Wall Network and use their will to drive hundreds of millions of flying swords to travel in the vacuum, forming a third layer of barrier.
The Great Leap Forward brought new challenges to the Covenant, breaking the long-standing balance. Weasley needed to find a new balance among the various civilizations.
“Weasley, all of us Stardust humans have evolved into Stardust Symbiotes,” Dong Yuxuan reported.
This means that every individual Stardust Human can coexist with a miniature neutron star fragment. That fragment floats within their bodies, providing virtually unlimited energy and computing power.
Stardust humans no longer have a fixed appearance; they can change their appearance at will, and even break down into a nebula and then recombine.
Their consciousness can roam throughout the entire neural network of the Covenant, or it can be condensed into a crystal the size of a pinhead.
Dong Yuxuan and Weasley were both very curious about what the Lord had gone through that made them evolve in this direction.
"The universe is too big, and we are too far from the boundary marker."
So far away, without the giant Zerg tombs, they would have to wait a very, very long time to receive a message from the Lord.
Weasley sighed, "Melina hasn't sent a message either."
Dong Yuxuan corrected, "We haven't received it yet."
“Well, it feels like we’re stuck in the countryside without internet,” Weasley said, shrugging.
Dong Yuxuan: "My master said, 'Store up grain and wait to declare yourself king.' We have so many enemies, let's play it safe and develop first."
Suddenly, the Great Wall Networks' deep sensing array detected an anomaly!
The normal space looked as if it had been slashed open. A ship slid out of the crack, its shape as flat as a crushed ginkgo leaf, its surface covered with a silvery-gray liquid metal coating.
"Vessel!"
"The evergreen dimensional-piercing warship!"
Dong Yuxuan and Weasley are too familiar with the Weasley ship!
The Arbiter has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Void Ship for many years, but it always manages to escape!
"Good heavens, has this person walked right into a trap?"
Is Chang Qing plotting something?
"Could it be that he killed the Lin family members, which is why he came to see us?!"
In that instant, Dong Yuxuan and Weasley were thinking about a lot of things.
Evergreen was no less surprised than the Covenant.
"This is the Star Covenant?!"
On the main screen of the bridge, the glowing veins of the World Tree covered hundreds of light-years, the Garden of Eden Ring slowly rotated around the Ruins of Guixu, and tens of thousands of Covenant ships filled the void like stardust.
How long has Lin Xiaohe been in control of the Star Alliance?! The Star Alliance has already moved from the primitive era to the interstellar era?!
"Wow! Is this the empire my little sister conquered?" Lin Chiyang pressed his face against the porthole, greedily gazing at the dazzling star field.
"Quick, let me see." Sister Lin pressed down on Lin Chiyang, her heart pounding with excitement and her hands trembling.
Little sister, we're here!
Instead of arguing with them, Mr. and Mrs. Lin pushed past Changqing, looked at the main screen, put their hands on their hips and laughed loudly: "Awesome!"
Grandpa and Grandma Lin hugged each other, weeping with joy: "That's wonderful! Our hard times are over!"
evergreen……
That's going too far! On this boat, did you lack food or water?!
Oh no, I think I caught a cold from someone else.
Wow, I only stayed for an hour.
Is this virus really that contagious?!
