For humanity, burn the stars.

A safe and secure home, a worry-free life, a haven from fear...

All of this will be within reach once you join the Starsea Federation.

For the vast and powerful Starsea Federation, supporting an extra human is not a burden; in fact, they are quite happy to help their fellow human beings.

But none of these were what Qin Heling wanted.

Qin Heling's goal was simple—revenge.

Air, water, and food are essential for human survival on Earth.

At this moment, all he needs to survive in this world is revenge.

To reclaim Earth from humanity and then utterly destroy the entire civilization of Vera.

However, when the word "revenge" was uttered, all the creatures of various races on the spaceship fell silent.

When the descendants of humans who coexisted peacefully with the aliens saw the anger in those eyes, they saw a burning sea of ​​stars through him.

His existence was destined to shatter the peace of the Star Sea.

Or rather, this sea of ​​stars has never known true peace.

Ivy's throat moved slightly as she struggled to find her voice:

"Mr. Qin, I understand your pain... but revenge means war."

"The Federation will not easily launch an attack on another interstellar civilization, especially when the other side is a powerful military empire..."

Even matters concerning their home planet Earth are not something the Federation can easily get involved in.

Qin Heling realized that she had misunderstood her meaning and shook her head repeatedly.

"I do not wish to use the power of the Star Federation to fight against Vera and complete my revenge."

"This arrival in the Federation's star system is a surprise and a miracle for me."

"I will take my revenge with my own hands, but if I could..."

"I just want to get some resources and help to help me develop, so that I can have a higher starting point."

Qin Heling was extremely familiar with the situation of the Star Sea Federation.

Although both originated from humankind, the flames of revenge cannot take root here.

Because it's just too peaceful here.

Humans and other races have not been hypocritical; they have truly achieved lasting peace.

At least for the next hundred years or so, before some future event occurs, peace will continue.

Perhaps for others, escaping hell and arriving in such a place would be a great joy.

But Qin Heling was not satisfied; on the contrary, she was disappointed.

Because in such a galaxy where the interior is almost solid, there is simply no room for him to develop.

Every crevice, every star, is firmly controlled by the republic established by these races, kept within their sight.

Even if there are still some undeveloped planets in the galaxy that could be developed, that's all there is to it.

Even though Qin Heling had developed a preliminary power on the planet, he was still firmly surrounded by their territory.

It goes without saying what will happen in this situation.

If they want to continue expanding their power and reach a point where they can take revenge on Vera, then they must occupy other territories that have already been occupied.

Even if there is peace within the republic, it does not mean that they will be unlimited in their tolerance.

Anyone who wants to develop in such a place is destined to be met with hostility from all the surrounding races.

Their human identity could even lead to suspicion from other races within the Starsea Federation.

It's fair to say that they would only develop here if they were completely distraught.

Therefore, Qin Heling intends to use the Star Sea Federation as a stepping stone to leave this place.

He needs to travel to other dangerous but opportune places to try and expand his influence.

Adela looked at Qin Heling with a very complicated expression.

Once you hear about that experience, you'll probably understand that heart.

However, she couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:

"But the enemy is so powerful, and you are all alone..."

"Living peacefully is also a victory."

"For civilizations in the vast universe, survival and continuation are paramount..."

Qin Heling looked at her, his dark eyes filled with a deep, almost terrifying determination.

"Human beings have not gone extinct, and our civilization will continue."

"As long as one person remembers the shame, as long as one person refuses to kneel, the war is not over."

"There are some things that, just because you can't do them, don't mean you can justify not doing them."

Qin Heling was well aware of Vera's terror and knew that this path was almost impossible.

But his fear had been exhausted on Earth, turning into something duller and more protracted...

As for the continuation of human civilization, Qin Heling was not worried that it would be cut off along with his own failure.

Now that we've come to the Starsea Federation's sphere of influence, at least this is something we don't need to worry about.

He will back up everything about Earth's civilization that is stored in the Seed Fire system and hand it over to this other human race.

In this way, he can walk this lonely road with peace of mind, without worrying about his own life or death.

Silence descended once more upon the spaceship, this time with an even heavier atmosphere.

The alien colleagues exchanged silent glances.

They could all understand Qin Heling's motivation for revenge, and they admired his steadfastness and conviction.

But their eyes held a hint of regret as they looked at him.

Because they all thought it was impossible.

The word "war" is too far removed from them now.

Humans and alien races have lived peacefully together here for hundreds of years. Private wars are prohibited by law, and conflicts are resolved through diplomacy.

Even when faced with harassment from space pirates on the border, in addition to suppression and cleanup, there are also solutions through negotiation and sanctions.

The Starsea Federation Republic is dedicated to becoming a beacon of light in the dark universe, and strives to achieve this goal.

Freedom and democracy are highly respected here, and idealistic values ​​have become a prevailing ideology.

War is a word from distant textbooks, and revenge is a remnant of a barbaric era.

But at this moment, the word "revenge" uttered by this human, covered in wounds and with eyes like embers, burned through all the pretense of civilization, exposing the primitive and cruel laws of survival in the universe.

This is a fierce clash between two fundamentally different philosophies.

They finally understood that what appeared before them was neither a wounded person in need of rescue nor a survivor of civilization in need of protection.

It was a sharp blade, already drawn from its sheath, ready to drink blood.

It was never broken.

At this moment, everyone is somewhat at a loss.

Because they had never seen such humans, or such life forms.

Ivy finally spoke, her voice hoarse:

"We will report your situation to the federal leadership..."

"Please rest at the observation station until then."

"May all your anxieties be soothed here in the Federation..."

Hearing the other party's sincere words, Qin Heling nodded, but smiled bitterly to himself.

He will continue down this lonely road until the very end.
