287: Chapter 287 The Dijiang Clan, the Terra Human Empire

In this way, the six major star Systems under the jurisdiction of the entire Blue Star Human Federation had truly achieved a state of lush, interconnected growth.

Every year, the imagery converging into the [Ten Thousand Wood Firmament] increased more and more, growing visibly.

Ophiuchus, 16 light-years away from the Solar System.

At this moment, the tianhe ship was docked here, releasing numerous unmanned probes to scan the astronomical conditions within the entire Ophiuchus star System.

In the warship's refining chamber, a silvery-white radiance flickered, and another second-tier Low Grade Magic Treasure was forged.

Just as Wang An was placing this Magic Treasure into the Dark Universe to conceal it, Ling Ming sensed that Wang An had finished the refining process, and only then did it project its form to report urgently.

"Immortal Master, we have received an urgent message from Lu Tianxin. The Dijiang Race, a mid-tier civilization, has sent a diplomatic delegation to make contact with us in the Eridanus star System. Their intentions are unclear; please make contact with them personally as soon as possible."

Seeing this message, Wang An called up the information regarding the Dijiang Race.

"Four wings and six legs, entirely crimson, with all five organs: eyes, ears, mouth, and nose."

They are located in the Leo star System, about 50 light-years outside the Solar System. They usually absorb various types of cosmic radiation and other light-based Transcendent Life energy, and can be considered a special semi-energy race that has emerged from artificial life planets.

The Dijiang Race is currently led by the Dijiang King, whose strength is at the second level of the mid-tier."

Sensing the Aura mark he had left on that mid-tier Dijiang, he saw there was no malice, so he thought it shouldn't be anything dangerous.

"I had better go see for myself." Thinking of this, Wang An grabbed the forged Magic Treasure, refined it instantly, cast it into the Dark Universe, and it disappeared.

He immediately ordered Ling Ming: "Change course, let's go see what this Dijiang Race wants."

"Yes."

The massive tianhe ship responded immediately, tearing through space like a giant black fish diving into the "ocean."

Only the faint silvery-white moonlight remained in the space, dispelling the mist here.

Half a day later, in the Cygnus star System.

This star System was the most common type of binary star System in the Milky Way Galaxy, possessing two dwarf stars and three rocky planets.

Among them, Planet No. 1 had a volume similar to Earth, with controllable temperature differences between day and night and abundant water resources, so it was quickly chosen by the Second Battle Group stationed there as the preferred planet to transform into a habitable Transcendent Life planet.

At this moment, a spherical medium-sized interstellar spacecraft with two wings was docked near the spaceport of Planet No. 1.

In the spaceport hall, Lu Tianxin, dressed in a green Daoist robe with a cyan-blue long sword at his waist and a lotus crown on his head, was staring wide-eyed at several first-tier Dijiang in the reception room.

Lu Tianxin looked at the little creatures before him—spheres with six wings, short limbs, and no facial features—and felt extremely surprised.

Even though he had learned about the Dijiang Race's appearance and racial characteristics in advance through the data explored by his Master, he still sighed with emotion: "The differences in physical form among life in the Universe are truly too great. If it weren't for Transcendent Life being able to communicate freely with Mental Energy, I fear there would be many cultural clashes that neither side could understand."

"Dijiang Race envoy, I do not know what problem you have that requires seeing our civilization's leader?"

The largest and most imposing of the three Dijiang was at the third level of the initial tier.

It looked left and right, curiously examining Lu Tianxin's attire and the other human negotiation officials who had come.

It sensed the Mental Energy message sent by Lu Tianxin and replied with a wave of information: "Important matter, find your civilization leader, find your civilization leader. Won't speak if he doesn't come, won't speak if he doesn't come."

Seeing this situation, even with Lu Tianxin's cool and detached temperament, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless; he could only handle official business while waiting for a reply from his Master, or for him to come directly.

The two sides remained in a stalemate like this.

Less than half a day later, a message suddenly appeared on Lu Tianxin's personal terminal.

He immediately stood up and sent a message to the three Dijiang floating in the air: "Our leader is here; you can tell him whatever problem you have."

Without caring about the state of the three Dijiang, he immediately took two Dao Foundation Cultivators out of the spaceport to welcome him.

After advancing to the initial tier of Transcendent Life, Transcendent Life with a Transcendent force field can survive in a vacuum.

However, large-scale astronomical radiation and cosmic phenomena can still penetrate the force field and damage the body of the Transcendent Life within.

Therefore, initial-tier Transcendent Life will generally not expose themselves to the vacuum of the Universe; this time, however, it was to welcome the Immortal Master of the tianhe ship, so it was a different matter.

After the three of them came out, a pitch-black interstellar warship, even larger than the spaceport, had already appeared outside the spaceport.

Even for Dao Foundation Cultivators like Lu Tianxin, they could not discover any useful information when probing with Mental Energy.

The next moment, the upper hatch opened, and Wang An's figure flew out from within, landing on the spaceport deck.

Without much small talk, Wang An led everyone back into the spaceport.

At this moment, the three Dijiang had morning light gathering in their limbs, playing with each other, not caring at all about welcoming anyone.

The four who returned here didn't mind this, because this group of Dijiang just had this nature—playful and active, and extremely curious about many things.

Even those among them who had already achieved Transcendent status were like this, and even more so.

The entire Dijiang race was actually extremely gentle, basically only active within the star sector originally demarcated for them by the Galactic Extraordinary Council.

Judging solely from their internal data, they had almost never been involved in any wars.

When the three Dijiang saw Lu Tianxin return, following behind a young man with an extraordinary Aura, they immediately reined in their playfulness. Observing Wang An's figure with electromagnetic Mental Energy, they first performed a greeting ritual of their own race.

Subsequently, not knowing from which part of their bodies they produced an information crystal, they manipulated it to float in front of Wang An.

Seeing this, Wang An's Divine Thought entered to read the information, and he instantly understood the purpose of their visit.

Simply put, within the 10-light-year range of the Dijiang star sector covering their main star System, a strange spacecraft had appeared. Humanoid life forms had emerged from within, demanding that they submit or migrate and leave this star sector.

Their Dijiang King believed this might be related to human civilization, so they came to notify them, while also hoping that human civilization could mediate.

Although they had already reported it to the Galactic Extraordinary Council, the exact situation was still unclear, so they hoped that Wang An, as the leader of human civilization, could participate in the mediation and figure out exactly what was going on.

Wang An carefully read the information inside, as well as the details about the spacecraft piloted by the humanoid life forms.

The spacecraft's spire-like Gothic style, along with its heavy religious decorations, immediately reminded him of keywords such as the Terra Human Empire, the State Church, and the Imperial Truth.
