Chapter 313: 123. The True History_2

"Yes, according to interstellar standards, the Azure Star People are essentially still like monkeys, no different."

"However, fortunately, a Galactic Level civilization known as the Fenesis Federation took an interest in the potential of the Azure Star, maintained contact, and prepared to bring the Azure Star People into the realm of civilization for further development as an affiliate civilization."

"The Qi Energy of the Martial Artist, the Magnetic Field Energy of the Mechanic, the Cellular Source Force of the Biochemist, the Life Force of the Healer, the energy of the Plunder, and our Mutants’ immensely powerful Arcane Power, along with a unified standard of strength—these all came from extraterrestrial civilizations."

"The rise of the Red Arrow Empire was because they acquired the leftover knowledge from the White Tower Debris. In fact, it wasn’t so much a rise as it was a revival."

"This was originally a good thing. The old era was thriving and had received help from a cosmic civilization, solved the food and warmth problem, developed interstellar spaceships and gravitational wave antennas, and the energy crisis was saved by high-energy laser nuclear fusion technology. The march toward the cosmos was within reach."

"In the first year of the Galactic Era, also known by some as the Ersha Calamity Era, the overwhelming Ersha blocked the sky, and from then on, the path to the cosmos was obstructed, and the future of civilization was terminated. We then entered the era of the Outer World. The White Tower also became an institution that controlled energy sources and monopolized extraordinary knowledge—that is, GTB."

"The environment of the Azure Star is not suitable for those above the Gamma Rank to survive, but if GTB were willing to disclose that knowledge, at least life in Gamma Rank wouldn’t be so hard, relying on regular surgeries to maintain health. The Azure Star People, with the help of that knowledge, could easily reach a Universal Beta Rank—this is achievable simply through the popularization of university education."

The speech of Li Aozi shocked everyone, especially Du Zexin.

"No wonder I felt that advancing to the Beta Rank... seemed not so difficult." Du Zexin recalled, "Gamma Rank might require strength, but Beta Rank seems achievable with just the official knowledge, and practically everyone can advance."

As a newly advanced Beta Rank, he felt this deeply.

"Because you have the right pathway to extraordinary knowledge, which is controlled officially. Without education, there can be no strong individuals, and Grante is the best example. With a population of less than 30 million, Grante has only 6 native Beta Rank individuals, while Frost Plated, with a population of 600 million, has 700,000 Beta Ranks, and even feels that’s too many spread out in the military, government, and scientific sectors."

Li Aozi said:

"Imagine it—if you include the people from the Outer World, the Azure Star could potentially have 2.6 to 3 billion Beta Ranks. With these incapable waste’s abilities, would they still be able to govern the states? What you need is an alliance, an absolute community, and the form of a nation is insufficient to govern such a powerful human race."

"3 billion Beta Ranks... The productivity would undergo a qualitative change."

N4 thought about it more practically:

"If GTB doesn’t control that knowledge, it might not be decades before humanity erupts into massive warfare, on a scale that could utterly destroy terrestrial civilization."

"Don’t flatter yourselves; you’re not yet worthy of being called a civilization,"

Li Aozi spread his hands:

"The Fenesis Federation is very eager to see the Azure Star develop. The White Tower has explained the reason: from its position in the starry sky, the Azure Star is ideally suited as a forward base, helping the Fenesis Federation to combat its mortal enemy—the Maxwell Consortium, a warlike stellar system. For this strategy, the Fenesis Federation is even willing to help the Azure Star People reach a Universal Gamma Rank."

In fact, Li Aozi didn’t tell these people that, in the cosmos, Gamma Rank is the norm. It is only to accommodate low-level civilizations that Beta Rank and Alpha Rank are differentiated.

Those civilizations that have joined at the Narrative-level, often born at Delta or Zeta Level and above, possess production capabilities that are terrifyingly powerful. Even annihilating the Azure Star People wouldn’t cost more resources than what one of their organizational basketball games would consume.

Frankly, in the eyes of the Cosmic People, today’s Azure Star is merely like chimpanzees, only eligible for aid from organizations akin to animal protection agencies."

Therefore, the actions of the Fenesis Federation, if not driven by a specific purpose, and yet so favorable towards Azure Star, appeared utterly saintly in the eyes of other civilizations.

"I knew aliens wouldn’t assist for free... So your goal is to seek support from the Fenesis Federation to liberate Azure Star from Lord Entropy’s control?"

Du Zexin rotated the turret, as if shaking his head.

"I’m not unhappy, I understand the idea, but that could potentially send the people of Azure Star to the frontlines of war... We have already lost enough people to war."

"No."

Li Aozi said:

"Aside from Lord Entropy, Azure Star still faces threats from Society—Society is a living civilization, one could say a monster. Extremely terrifying, but Society is drawn here because of Lord Entropy. Once Lord Entropy is dealt with, they will immediately disappear. And to handle Lord Entropy, there are only two methods."

"Let’s hear them."

"The first, I apply for extraterrestrial immigration, move all our people away, then use a planet-destroying weapon on Azure Star. The juvenile Lord Entropy will be directly eliminated. Once and for all."

This was the approach Li Aozi and the players had taken in their past lives,

"Sounds plausible, what’s the cost?" N4 asked.

"It’s not small. First, the cost is high, but I will figure out a way. Secondly, a civilization without a mother star can only settle on territories given by others. Being a nomadic civilization, not to mention our low status, we also wouldn’t qualify for basic interstellar communication and transport routes. It’s like being stateless, even if people engage in slave trading with Azure Star people, no one would care."

"There’s an even more fatal problem—not everyone can go to space, twenty percent will directly die during the space migration process, and thirty percent will die from diseases due to inadaptability to their new homes, not to mention casualties from conflicts and industrial accidents—ultimately, maybe only twenty-five percent will successfully develop their civilization."

"And the second method?"

"The second one is a bit more troublesome." Li Aozi said, "A Cosmic Level civilization can extract Lord Entropy’s juvenile form, and while doing so, also divert Society’s attention, then toss Lord Entropy’s juvenile form into a black hole, which is equivalent to sealing it. When the black hole evaporates, Lord Entropy will regrow, and then we repeat the process."

"The advantage is, Azure Star’s mother star is preserved, and the geopolitical value of Azure Star continues, allowing it to officially become a part of the interstellar civilization. Moreover, it won’t result in too many deaths due to space migration."

"What’s the cost?" Du Zexin was curious. "It sounds a bit like appeasement, but still acceptable."

"The cost is, you might have to wait for me for some time."

"How long roughly?"

"Oh, not too long."

Li Aozi said:

"At most a hundred years."
