The internal order of each civilization in the Star River Alliance varies greatly. Many still have slavery, mostly targeting aliens. Slaves are a way to show status. Of course, no one dares to enslave the real Tian Ren (Heavenly Human), so humans have become the best substitute. This situation has always existed. In the early days, several seed civilizations relied on exporting labor to exchange for resources to gain a foothold, and this still exists today.

When humans appeared, they were immediately cold-shouldered by the market. Humans suddenly became very popular, which also increased the risk of human interstellar exploration.

The same is true for advanced civilizations. Where there is profit, there is trade. Therefore, humans are now very careful when conducting interstellar trade. The main trading center is still Kepler. There are many traps in the complicated interstellar trade, and a lot of tuition fees have been paid this year.

What is certain is that Kepler's future is limitless. Currently, the Star River Alliance and the solar system are increasing investment. Speaking of Kepler, one must sigh with emotion. A blessing in disguise. Sometimes, a person's life depends on fate. Romero, this once abandoned child of humanity, has now become very popular.

He is now the official first governor of Kepler, appointed by the Star River Alliance. This position is crucial, especially now that Kepler has become the gateway for human civilization to the outside world. The scale of Kepler's stargate is ten times that of Jupiter's. It is not yet completed, but some parts have been put into use. It is fully funded and built by a group under the Garasuta Commercial Alliance. Of course, whoever builds it benefits, but it must be admitted that it is of great significance to the current human world.

In one year, a large number of human living areas and alien special zones have been established on Kepler. The influx of a large number of aliens has also made trade prosperous. This is only one year. With Kepler's resources and important geographical location, it is only a matter of time before Kepler becomes the center of human civilization.

Its importance is self-evident, and there are many who covet this position. Romero himself never thought things would turn out like this.

Once there is a huge profit, things become complicated. Under normal circumstances, Romero would not be able to hold it, but when luck comes, you can't stop it. When faced with internal and external threats, the Qiang Zhi Empire (Symbiotic Empire) intervened. Because the Zerg civilization belongs to a branch of the Qiang Zhi civilization, Romero is essentially a Zerg. They expressed their support for this distant branch of the same kind.

Faced with the Qiang Zhi Empire, which has the strongest vitality and a large star field in the Star Alliance, let alone the human race, even the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) have to worry a bit. This is an existence that dared to challenge the Galactic Empire during its heyday, and still maintains its unique "life technology tree."

Of course, for civilizations, so-called distant relatives are just an excuse. The Qiang Zhi Empire must have its own interests in doing so, as long as it does not break the obvious rules. Similarly, the Hellavis Empire established a consulate on Earth, and the Qiang Zhi Empire also established a consulate on Kepler.

This most special seed civilization of humanity was actually being watched by all parties before it matured. Because it was a product of the Galactic Empire era, after the split of the Galactic Empire, it became an unowned object. In the process of human development, there have actually been continuous visits from various civilizations, and even some interventions, which is why human civilization is so rich, and there are many ununified souls, worlds of reverence, and legends.

The Nimer civilization was greatly influenced by Hellavis, but ultimately failed. If it had succeeded, the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) would have been the biggest beneficiary, and Hellavis would have become the second largest beneficiary. Later human civilization, for a period of time, was dominated by intelligent robots. This was a trick of the Chakos Technology Empire. Once intelligent robots evolved consciousness, they could intervene. Later, intelligent robot technology was banned, and it came to an abrupt end.

As for the Zhu Xing Long Zu (Starforged Dragon Clan) and the Dark Shadow Spirit Empire, they influenced humans ideologically without direct intervention. These two civilizations have unique advantages from a single perspective, but they also have unavoidable weaknesses. The Zhu Xing Long Zu (Starforged Dragon Clan) has too few members, and they are inherently advocate "balance" and have no interest in "domination." The problem with the Dark Shadow Spirit is the void creatures. This thing has been suppressing their growth. Before solving the void creatures, everything else is just floating clouds.

"How are the others?"

"Senior Zi Yuan is the chairman of our student union and is now teaching at the school. Ma Long and Sheng Man got their marriage certificate and are traveling these days. Do you want me to call them back?"

Ma Long didn't go either. He fulfilled his promise before the expedition. When he came back, he bought a large diamond ring and proposed to Sheng Man. Together with Zuo Xiaotang and Huo Ying, he led Tianjing Ji Wu (Tianjing Mecha Force). Annie was also a team manager, and Zuo Xiaotang made his move, of course, with the guidance of Teacher Ma.

"Forget it, it's not kind to disturb their time together," Li Hao waved his hand, "What about Yi Jie, Musashi, and Ant?"

"We got news some time ago that they have passed the test of the Holy Hymn Warriors. The specific situation may have to be asked to the principal," Zuo Xiaotang said. The brothers who fought together back then, some continue to challenge life, and some are quietly enjoying life. "Brother Hao, you seem to have matured a lot, with a bit of sunshine."

Li Hao's figure is a little stronger, not very obvious, but it does give people a feeling of being more generous and imposing. Anyone who has been exposed to the sun so much in this year will have a taste of it.

After learning about the basic situation, Li Hao rested in the orphanage for a few days, and then carefully selected a few strings of dried small fish to visit Principal Long Danni. He may be short of money but not of gifts. He is a genuine Tianjing native.

Long Danni was very emotional when she saw Li Hao with a smile on his face. She couldn't understand how a young man could miss the stage of the Gathering of Heroes, which could be recorded in history, but seeing Li Hao's state, she could understand it somewhat. This kid has matured a lot, more stable, and more imposing. He still has that lazy smile, but it used to be like a child, and now there is a sense of maturity and composure.

"You still know how to come back. We all thought you were dead," Long Danni said with a smile.

Li Hao touched his nose, "Principal, I am your proud disciple. After a war, my young mind has also been traumatized, and I always need to recuperate."

"Okay, we're all family, don't pretend with me," she said, glancing at the dried fish, "They all say you're stingy, and I didn't believe it, but now I do."

"Slander, this is definitely blatant slander. This is high-end handmade seafood. Add a little to stir-fries and soups, and the taste is invincible. It's very expensive." That's what he said, but Li Hao didn't even want to look at it. He was really tired of eating it, and now he can't eat seafood rice anymore.

Long Danni smiled, "Thank you for your gift. Okay, let's talk about business. You've had enough rest. Zuo Xiaotang should have told you about our current situation. What are your plans?"

"Report, obey the arrangements!" Li Hao knew it was time to do something.

"You want to see Arths, right?" Long Danni smiled. If it were in peacetime, the love between Li Hao and Arths would definitely be explosive news, but now it is no longer important. It's a pity that he can bear it. What kind of thing is worth him giving up such a precious year.

Li Hao nodded, there was nothing to hide, "Is she okay?"

Long Danni smiled wryly and shook her head, "I don't know, I really don't know. Although I am now in the Star Alliance Solar System Construction Team, the information I have access to is one-sided. She is now on the capital planet of the Garasuta Commercial Alliance. It is said that it is not some kind of Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) awakening, but that she has a very rare physique even among the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human). It is a very noble concept among the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human). Arths is still making breakthroughs and is relatively special. Human conditions are very suitable for the Holy Hymn and Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) armament. Our current difficulty lies in the constraints of the system."

Li Hao nodded, "That's good, I want to go to Garasuta to see."

"Don't talk about you, I want to too, but it's not my turn. This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Oh, yes, in view of your merits in the Kepler battle, you have been promoted to major general. This position will continue to be reserved for you, but under the current circumstances, you will not lead the army."

"What is the current situation of our army?" Li Hao nodded, he didn't really care about this. The human army is either retired or idle.

"Reorganization, the four major theaters are merged, and a space fleet is retained to defend against interstellar pirates. All planetary weapons are destroyed, and other resettlement work is still relatively chaotic. The Star Alliance inspection team feels like they are going to settle in the solar system." Long Danni smiled wryly. She no longer regarded Li Hao as a student, but as someone who could have equal exchanges with her. All the energy of the council is focused on the Star Alliance, and other things are done haphazardly.

Both of them knew what this meant, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves. Li Hao thought more openly. It wasn't something he was worried about, and he never worried. The human race never lacked smart people, and with the alliance's consistent style, they would always keep a hand, right?

"What about Yi Jie, Musashi, Cheng Konghai, and the others?"

"It was very difficult at the beginning. The place where the Holy Hymn is located is very different from the solar system environment. Most of them are more than 10 Earth g's. The main stars of advanced civilizations will choose to be relatively large. First of all, you have to adapt to the gravity. Secondly, in battle, our physical condition is inseparable from mecha, but the drawbacks of mecha are very large. It is still possible to deal with some low-star civilizations, but there is a huge gap with mainstream civilizations."

Li Hao was stunned, "Do we have to transport the mecha over there? Is it so troublesome?"

"That was the earliest time, but not later. When the Bati (Overlord Body) matures, it can adapt very well to the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) armament. This most advanced armament technology is a bit like our mecha. It is said that the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) also used similar mecha in the early days, and gradually evolved to the Tian Ren (Heavenly Human) armament. There is no problem with adaptation. As long as you master the Bati (Overlord Body) to offset the physical differences, the combat power of our top warriors is actually not weak, of course, there is still a gap with their top combat power," Long Danni said, "In this year, the human race has also opened its eyes. There are many places where we need to catch up, but we don't need to belittle ourselves. Overall, the overall level of the human race is in the middle of the third tier, and our development potential is greater."
