For humanity, burn the stars.

The spaceship landed on a rocky wasteland, but the hatch remained closed.

Instead, two clear holographic projections coalesced in front of Qin Heling.

This is a standard safety measure used for communication when facing unknown contacts.

Qin Heling looked at the two projections that appeared in front of him.

On the left is a woman with unusual dark skin and long, pointed ears protruding from her short, silvery-white hair.

Her blue and gray Starsea Federation standard monitor uniform confirmed her identity.

She may resemble an elf in human literature, but overall, her human characteristics are still evident.

The other being on the right is a creature with a fox's head.

His amber eyes were sharp and lively as he carefully examined Qin Heling.

Although they look like upright-walking beasts, their body structure changed to allow them to set foot in the stars.

It was also dressed in a uniform, modified to fit a non-human body, and wore a work badge for the monitoring station on its chest.

In this star system named the "Sisma Union," humanity cooperated with dozens of other equally large alien races to form the Star Sea Federation Republic.

They cooperate closely with each other and unite against external threats.

Therefore, people of mixed races or different races can live together harmoniously here.

Although they hadn't communicated yet, Qin Heling felt quite at ease at that moment.

Regardless, the Starsea Federation is a friendly faction towards humanity.

They may not be able to exact revenge on Vera, but serving as a temporary stopover would suffice.

At this moment, facing this fellow human with the same bloodline, the mixed-race human woman spoke first:

"Hello, we are staff members of the Starsea Federation Republic's Satrinias Star System Monitoring Station."

"I'm Ivy, and next to me is my partner, Elijah Mayer."

After identifying herself according to the work procedure, Ivy paused slightly, giving Qin Heling time to react.

After Qin Heling nodded slightly in acknowledgment, she continued:

"According to the Civilization Contact Protection Agreement, no federal citizen may make direct contact with an indigenous civilization that has not yet entered the interstellar age without special permission."

"Satrinias is also a planet under observation, and we have not received any landing requests from spacecraft recently."

"May I ask which planet you reside on in the Federation? Please identify yourself and cooperate with our work. We hope you understand."

As she spoke, Ivy also felt something was off.

Logically speaking, if they landed via spaceship, they shouldn't have been unaware.

However, they also conducted a scan before landing, and found no trace of the spaceship, let alone any other vessel.

It was as if the other party had really appeared out of thin air.

Qin Heling looked at the other party's projection, took a deep breath, and said:

"My name is Qin Heling, and as you can see, I am human."

"Perhaps it's hard for you to understand... but I came here from Earth."

Upon hearing Qin Heling's words, the two people opposite him were extremely surprised, clearly having some knowledge of the name "Earth".

The fox-headed man named Elijah looked at Ivy, closed the communication, and asked in a low voice:

"Earth...is that your place of origin?"

At this moment, Ivy's expression was quite complicated in the face of this unexpected situation.

Several hundred years have passed since this group of humans began exploring the stars and establishing themselves in this distant galaxy.

When our ancestors left, they completely severed ties with their home planet.

But at this moment, the other party said he came from Earth...

How is that possible?

Seeing Ivy's hesitant expression, Elijah, the man with the fox head, spoke up instead:

"Excuse me, sir, although you are indeed a standard Type 1 human..."

"But I suspect you might need to have your mental state tested."

"Please cooperate and provide your citizen number as required by us."

"Otherwise, we will assume you are unable to communicate independently and will call for medical assistance."

Clearly, they assumed that this incredible incident was simply the work of a federal citizen with mental health issues.

Qin Heling shook his head helplessly and said to them:

"I do not have, and cannot have, your citizen number. You can check."

"Whether it's using my genetic sample, or any other method you deem reliable."

Elijah and Ivy exchanged a glance, then routinely began checking identities.

It extends its claws and makes a gesture in the air, bringing up an interface.

With a quick tap of the claw, all of Qin Heling's external features, including his iris, were uploaded.

About ten seconds later, an unbelievable result came out.

"...No record?"

Comparison complete, no matches found.

The two people opposite each other exchanged a glance, unable to comprehend the outcome before them.

Every citizen in the Starsea Federation Republic has a unique identification code, without exception.

Even exiles and space pirates are only stripped of their citizenship, but their codes can still be found.

However, there is absolutely no information about him in the database.

At that moment, an absurd idea was born in Ivy's mind.

Could it be... that he's telling the truth?

She looked at Qin Heling more closely again, especially at his somewhat outdated spacesuit and the repair marks on it...

Suddenly, Ivy noticed the bloodstains on his body.

The residents of the Federation, who had been living in peace for too long, were no longer sensitive to blood. At first, she thought it was just a bright paint on her spacesuit.

After a moment's thought, she quickly made a decision:

"I'm sorry, we can't completely trust what you're saying yet."

"However, if you are willing to be de-equipped, we can allow you to board the spaceship and receive humanitarian aid first."

"During that period, we will use a more precise authentication method to re-search for identity information."

"At the same time, we also hope to learn more relevant information in order to make a judgment."

Elijah nodded in agreement with his companion's current plan.

It's truly unimaginable for a human being unable to find information.

Getting the other party onto the spaceship is not a big deal, since their purpose is to get the other party away from Satrinias.

Whether to drive them away or let them take them off the planet is within the scope of our work.

As Ivy finished speaking, the hatch on the side of the spaceship finally opened, and a gangway extended in front of Qin Heling.

Qin Heling naturally had no reason to refuse their proposal.

He didn't want to develop on such a desolate initial planet, especially since he was still injured.

Qin Heling took a step forward and stepped onto the gangway, whereupon he was immediately moved into the spaceship.
