210: Chapter 210 Megastructure [Self-Completeness] [Azure Sacrifice Star]

Afterward, Huayin Jiaoyue pointed her finger toward the Bronze Divine Tree at the center of the planetary system, as well as the blue giant star held up by its upper portion, and said.

"That Bronze Divine Tree is the stellar-level megastructure built by our nine major academies. Beyond conventional energy conversion and amplification, it is also responsible for managing and regulating the ecological cycle throughout the entire planetary system. It ensures that the ecological environment within the system reaches a level suitable for the survival of numerous Transcendent Life, while simultaneously suppressing them from falling into the third spatial layer. It can be said to be the pinnacle achievement of our entire transcendent system."

Seeing her pause after speaking, the Incarnation asked curiously.

"Priestess Jiaoyue, if I may be so bold as to ask, how many mid-stage Transcendent Life are there in the entire Bronze Academy? Why is there a need to gather so densely together? The modifiable planetary systems possessed by high-stage civilizations should be able to support a more dispersed living environment, right?"

Huayin Jiaoyue did not expect that this Daoist Master Tianhe would see through the key to the entire academy's planetary system at a glance, or rather, why they were gathered in one planetary system.

She looked deeply at the Incarnation before answering briefly.

"Master, you are truly deserving of being an originator of a transcendent system; your insight is indeed sharp."

"Your question touches upon matters related to laws, which we generally do not answer as it is confidential. However, Three Human Races have supported each other for a long time, and the same naturally applies to your fourth-generation Black Iron Human Race, so I will briefly explain the general reasons."

"Although mid-stage existences generally require an area of a medium-sized continent, about five or six million square kilometers, to evolve their own rules, serving as a practice ground and a long-term Daoist sanctuary to ensure the stable growth of their cultivation level."

"However, many civilizations and races later discovered that gathering a large number of mid-stage powerhouses in one place is conducive to the verification, transformation, and absorption of various embryonic laws. Furthermore, after they die and undergo Dao-assimilation, through long years of accumulation, complete laws available for comprehension and inheritance may appear."

"Based on this phenomenon, our academy's higher-ups call it the [Self-Complementarity] and [Self-Evolution] of laws. The more mid-stage existences gather, the higher the efficiency and the greater the probability. Therefore, most civilizations above the mid-stage are researching technologies to allow large numbers of mid-stage powerhouses to live safely and stably in smaller spaces; this is the reason why we had to build this Bronze Divine Tree."

Hearing this, the Incarnation gained some understanding.

"So that's it. It seems this is one of the reasons why most civilizations only inhabit a small number of planetary systems. The more they gather, the higher the possibility of advancement; the more dispersed they are, the more singular their laws become, making it difficult to produce any results."

The Incarnation even thought of a deeper level.

"The reason those super-stage civilizations and the Galactic Extraordinary Council exist within the nuclear bulge of the Milky Way Galaxy is that the internal space of the bulge fits the areas required by such civilizations, without causing large-scale war and conflict. Besides being able to provide vast amounts of energy, by gathering together, their possibility of breaking through to the high stage is far higher than others."

"Of course, this is also one of the reasons for the struggle for the right to preach among the major transcendent systems. The larger the base, the more mid-stage powerhouses are born, the more embryonic laws the transcendent system has, and the lower the difficulty of reaching the high stage."

Afterward, Huayin Jiaoyue introduced in detail to the Incarnation which technologies, transcendent knowledge, and functions each academy specifically involved, which would also be convenient for visiting their libraries or communicating later depending on the situation.

In just one day, the group arrived at the Bronze Academy's First Academy, [Qingji Star]. The warships of both sides remained at the outer aviation ports. Unless there were special circumstances, such warships generally would not enter the surface to avoid affecting the internal transcendent ecological environment.

Therefore, Huayin Jiaoyue took the Incarnation, Taizhen, and Taichang, and the few of them boarded an entry spacecraft to head to the academy's surface. As for the other cultivators, they would have to wait for the Incarnation to communicate and confirm with the academy before letting them come down together.

As the First Academy for studying the priest system, [Qingji Star] was filled with a large number of bronze buildings and a diverse variety of bronze culture.

In just the continental area observed by the Incarnation, there were 8 ten-thousand-meter-tall Bronze Divine Trees distributed, each radiating an aura equivalent to the mid-stage. Although these varied in strength, and most were still only at the first level of the mid-stage, this number was enough to glimpse the quantity of mid-stage powerhouses in a high-stage race.

As the spacecraft entered the atmosphere, the Incarnation and the others clearly felt the rich, exotic transcendent energy within. This was the [Xutong Spiritual Rhyme] evolved from the [Bronze Priest] system. In the observation of the Incarnation's Yin Spirit thought, which had already been able to open the second microscopic gate, this type of transcendent energy possessed characteristics such as heaviness, law-bearing, and soul-suppressing and evil-dispelling properties.

This [Qingji Star], even in just the outer areas, had an energy concentration reaching the third level of the initial stage. However, this was an effect that could only be achieved because of the suppression by that huge Bronze Divine Tree. Judging by the uniform distribution of these energies, energy above the mid-stage should be gathered on those bronze trees.

In just a few minutes, the Incarnation's party arrived at a mountain peak reaching ten thousand meters in height. This mountain range stretched across tens of thousands of miles on the largest continent of [Qingji Star].

According to the data displayed by the traveling spacecraft, [Qingji Star] should be about 1.5 times larger than Blue Star; this was also a standard modified planet chosen to adapt to ordinary human races.

Although this mountain range was snow-covered and ice-bound for thousands of miles, it was still covered with a large number of bronze architectural palaces. There were also quite a few thousand- and ten-thousand-meter Bronze Divine Trees, and even some clearly peculiar bronze buildings with various geometric shapes.

The group finally stopped at a spacecraft landing plaza below a palace on the highest peak.

The Incarnation sensed that several other mid-stage existences were already there to welcome them. There was even a mid-stage level 3 powerhouse with white hair and the appearance of a middle-aged man; the others vaguely treated him as their leader with great respect.

"Whoosh~"

The spacecraft came to a stop, and Huayin Jiaoyue led the Incarnation and the others out of the spacecraft to introduce them to the people waiting to welcome them.

"This is Daoist Master Tianhe of the Black Iron Human Race, along with his two disciples."

The four welcoming mid-stage powerhouses looked up and down at the Incarnation introduced by Huayin Jiaoyue.

At this moment, the Incarnation was wearing a star-shining Daoist robe, with a green bamboo dharma sword that flashed with lightning from time to time on his back. His face was young and handsome, his long hair tied up, and his whole body possessed a lofty and vast noble aura, quite like the temperament of an immortal Daoist master.

Seeing himself being introduced, the Incarnation also greeted the crowd.

"Respected seniors, now that I have come to your esteemed territory, I hope we can have many exchanges."

The four of them responded quite politely with a priest's salute.

Afterward, they introduced the identities of these mid-stage powerhouses to the Incarnation.

First was the middle-aged man with white hair, wearing a black robe embroidered with patterns of various bronze exotic beasts. A small bronze ding hung from his waist, and faint bronze-colored patterns flowed across his skin.
