At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

For human civilization, which was still exploring planets back then, the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations was still a matter of debate. But for human civilization today, isn't the existence of aliens common sense?

Not only are there extraterrestrial civilizations, but there are also a great many of them. In the places where humans have set foot, more than ten extraterrestrial civilizations have been discovered. However, these extraterrestrial civilizations are still very primitive. The most advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have only developed the basic industries of the steam age.

The 'Pan-Human Federation' has a standard set of rules for dealing with extraterrestrial civilizations.

First: Determine whether the existence of this extraterrestrial civilization poses a potential threat to human civilization. If there is no threat, reservations can be made. If there is, then it should be destroyed immediately, but the life ecology of the planet should be preserved and regarded as an observation planet for the origin of extraterrestrial life.

After all, human civilization can transform planets as easily as playing with them, so there is no shortage of planets for survival.

Second: If long-term observation shows that the alien civilization does not pose a potential danger, and the aliens' appearance and lifestyle conform to human aesthetics, then it is possible to consider making the alien civilization a dependent civilization of 'pan-human civilization'.

Third: Only civilizations primarily composed of 'humans' and 'demi-humans' can obtain formal membership in the 'Pan-Human Federation,' while extraterrestrial civilizations can at most serve as 'observers' and listen in.

However, the above principles have not yet been implemented. After all, the alien civilizations discovered so far are too weak and pose no threat at all. A few fifth-order superhumans could easily wipe out an alien civilization.

Furthermore, none of those alien civilizations conform to human aesthetics, and now the planets where those alien civilizations live are all treated as 'zoos'.

A 'dimensional portal' appeared in interstellar space.

Los Saint stepped out and stood in the void, looking at the fleet less than a day's time away from him.

"How fast time flies! Before we knew it, the footprints of human civilization had already reached the outer reaches of Kepler-452, a star 1402 light-years away."

Human civilization has now nearly exhausted the exploration of Gould.

The entire Gould Belt is only 3,000 light-years in diameter, accounting for one-ninth of the Orion Arm.

Kepler 452 is already located on the edge of the Gould Belt.

Although we have ventured this far, it does not mean that we have control over a star system. We need to carry out large-scale immigration, build space routes, and even have more than 100 million people settle there permanently to truly control a star system.

A population exceeding one hundred million is necessary to guarantee a civilized structure and generate a virtuous cycle.

Adventurers' Assemble: The Great Fleet

Although this interstellar fleet is a joint fleet of the 'Pan-Human Federation', it is named 'Adventurer'.

Since they come from various civilizations, it wouldn't be appropriate to choose a name that reflects any particular civilization. Therefore, the 'Adventurers' Association,' the largest and most well-regarded non-governmental organization, became the lucky one.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time, the Adventurers' Guild's 'Lifetime Honorary Advisor' Traveler Ying was specially invited to escort the fleet.

It was also thanks to the traveler Ying who wanted to go on an adventure.

As Traveler Ying boarded the fleet, all the high-ranking officials of the 'Pan-Human Federation' silently breathed a sigh of relief, almost setting off fireworks to send her off.

Finally, we've sent this troublesome ancestor out to play, and we can have some peace and quiet for a long time.

The entire 'Adventurer's Gathering Fleet' has more than three million people, most of whom will begin to establish civilized outposts after arriving at their destination.

Then more and more people will come here to establish civilization and settle down.

Inside the command ship of the Adventurers' Assembly Fleet.

The fleet is mostly comprised of weapons zones, industrial zones, and ecological zones, with living areas being the secondary focus.

Except for the power control area, the interior environment of the entire fleet is similar to that of the planet, and the living area is even built like a town.

In a private area of ​​a coffee shop, a bored traveler named Ying was idly blowing on the latte art, blurring the patterns and muttering to himself.

"We're finally almost at Kepler-452! We've been sailing for more than half a year. I'm practically growing mushrooms in this ship. I wonder if Kepler-452b is any fun. If it's not, I might blow up the whole planet for fun if I get upset."

"Please, please don't say such terrible things, Lady Ying!" A girl in an adventurer's uniform was covered in sweat.

"Zhiqiong, don't worry so much. If it's just a lifeless planet, bombing it won't do any harm. It's like knocking down a sand pile; it won't create any sins." Ying waved her hand proudly and said, "I've thoroughly researched what can and cannot be done."

"But it's not good if a planet suitable for terraforming is destroyed, Lord Ying." Zhiqiong said, embarrassed.

As an adventurer from the Liyue civilization, I am strongly opposed to destruction. Unless it is to save people, it is better not to destroy anything.

She was among the top 100 adventurers from the Liyue civilization, having already advanced to Tier 5 a hundred years ago, and now, after a hundred years, she has slowly reached the late Tier 5 stage.

Her purpose in following the Grand Fleet on 'exploration' was to accumulate the great achievement of advancing to the sixth rank. Currently, 'exploring interstellar space' is the easiest way to accumulate such a great achievement.

Having already reached the fifth rank, she also wanted to try her best to reach the sixth rank.

At this moment, there were still many people in the coffee shop relaxing and drinking coffee, and the conversation had all turned to the 'Kepler star system'.

People love to talk about upcoming events, which can be considered a spontaneous news hotspot.

Los Saint walked into the coffee shop and glanced at the people he knew there.

The coffee shop is not small; it's more like a small leisure plaza. After all, space technology has long been widespread, and the interior space of a ship that appears to be only 5,000 meters long is equivalent to a small, hidden world.

The adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild, including Bennett, a legendary adventurer who had reached the early stage of the seventh tier, and several fifth-tier adventurers, were having coffee with a touch of alcohol.

In another corner, Fischl, the legendary adventurer of the Adventurers' Guild, and Mimi Hibiki, the genius of the Japanese Kaisha, and his fifth-tier companions are indulging in chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka, who had already reached the ninth rank, was drinking coffee and talking to her younger sister Sakura Tohsaka, who was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at the peak of the sixth rank.

"Already at the peak of the ninth rank? That's really fast." Luo Sheng thought for a moment and walked over.

Although Rin Tohsaka falters at crucial moments, she has always been very lucky, the luckiest of all being the Venus power that Quetzal gave her.

This is a power at the level of a main god. As long as the great achievements in the early stages are accomplished, all that remains is to digest the power and ascend to godhood without any bottlenecks. Step by step, one can become a newly promoted main god.

Moreover, this Venusian power also carries 'civilizational characteristics'.

In other words, once a god is established, as long as a civilization is built, the power of Venus will bind to the civilization and make it stronger, until it reaches the threshold of the supreme god-king.

In other words, before the Great God King, Rin Tohsaka had no bottleneck at all.

Most importantly, this Venusian power is an important part of the South American mythological worldview, and after becoming the Great Power God-King, he even used it as a fulcrum to deduce the 'prototype of the worldview'.

That's why Ishtar regretted it so much when she missed out on the Venusian power of South American mythology because of her loose tongue.

Ishtar obtained this Venusian power back then, and she is now close to becoming a high-ranking god-king.

However, she is not slow now; she is now a mid-level powerful god-king.

The existing powerful god-kings are basically close to the intermediate level, and the old main gods have also been promoted to the primary level.

The special training given to the gods wasn't for nothing; if they still can't seize the opportunity to advance, then they're truly useless.

“Sakura, we’re about to enter the interstellar cloud of Kepler. Once we establish a civilization outpost first, the Kepler system will develop into a civilized region in a hundred years at most. You will definitely reach the seventh or eighth rank through your great achievements.” Rin Tohsaka said, looking at her younger sister who was adding sugar cubes to her coffee.

Sakura Tohsaka pouted: "But my sister is already at the ninth level, and she'll become a god by then. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to catch up with her."

Since she came into this world with her older sister when she was young, she has always been the most talented student in Japan. She obtained the Stigmata in the second grade of elementary school and was already at the peak of the third rank by the time she graduated from elementary school.

She reached the fourth rank in her first year of junior high school and advanced to the fifth rank in her first year of high school. Although her progress slowed down afterward, she is still the youngest legendary superhuman in Japan to advance to the sixth rank.

But... her older sister was too dazzling. Every time other superhumans mentioned her, they would say, "Ah! You are Rin Tohsaka's sister." "As expected of Rin Tohsaka's sister, she has already reached the X-rank at such a young age."

Sakura Tohsaka desperately wanted to hide under the covers and scream, "I've always lived in my sister's shadow!"

"By the way, Sakura, I secretly broke off a branch from the Divine Tree in the Pantheon. I've already asked the master craftsman Maple Plain of 'Isshin-den' to forge a staff for you. Then you'll be able to use divine weapons of rank seven or higher. If you're lucky, Master Maple Plain might even be able to forge an eighth-rank quasi-divine weapon," Rin Tohsaka said affectionately.

Sakura Tohsaka is her last remaining family member in the world, so she will give Sakura the best of everything.

Thank you, sister.

Just then, an empty chair was pulled out, and a gentle voice rang out: "Miss, please give me a Level 6 'Ocean's Sigh'."

"Ocean's Sigh! Sir, you actually know about Fontaine's most obscure coffee. It seems you really are a coffee connoisseur." The shop assistant was surprised. Few people knew about 'Ocean's Sigh' because it was a coffee variety specially supplied to Fontaine's chief god, Lord Fucarus. Even the fleet only had a small jar of coffee beans.

"Please wait a moment."

The Rin and Tohsaka sisters stared in astonishment at the young man who had suddenly sat down at their table. How dare he sit at their table? The sisters were quite famous in the 'Pan-Human Federation', and there should be very few people who didn't know them.

They're at the ninth and sixth tiers; strangers wouldn't approach them unless they were very close acquaintances.

"Huh...you, you are..." Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka were instantly surprised by the young man's face after he sat down.

They remember that face very clearly.

Memories drift back over a hundred years to when they first came into this world, falling into the desert and nearly dying of thirst when they met a man who transported them from Egypt across half the globe to Japan.

She became famous in Japan after advancing to the fifth rank, and even gained some fame on Earth. At that time, she spent some time searching for the young man who had helped her.

At that time, she already knew that the young man was definitely a high-level superhuman.

The talking snake he fished out of the water was the guardian deity of the Nile River in Egypt, and now it is a true eighth-tier divine beast.

So it's impossible for a young person to be unknown, but she hasn't been able to find him even after more than a hundred years. The only possibility is that he is a god who has never appeared.

"I never imagined that the spoiled and arrogant girl and that tiny little girl have grown into such powerful individuals," Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Yes, it's you, senior!" Rin Tohsaka came back to her senses, her emotions a little complicated.

"It's the older brother I met a long, long time ago!" Sakura Tohsaka's eyes widened in surprise. She had a deep impression of him, remembering his mystery and gentleness, and his beautiful voice. She could never forget him.

"Big brother, my sister has been looking for you for a long time to thank you, but she couldn't find you. Are you a deity?"

“Stare~” Rin Tohsaka sized up the incredibly handsome young man she had only met once.

"That's not right! Miss Ying is the only deity in the fleet!"

"Hehe, just pretend I'm everywhere," Luo Sheng said with a chuckle.

"Ubiquitous! Could it be a true god! Or even a supreme god?" Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in shock, "Could it be the God King?!"

Only a deity of the True God rank or above, who is the "embodiment of rules," can utter the phrase "omnipresent."

Only a god who embodies the rules could appear on a ship without the notice of a ninth-rank being like her, or a high-ranking god like Ying.

Luo Sheng smiled without saying a word, neither denying nor admitting it.

"You will naturally know my identity once you become a god and are qualified to leave a throne in the Pantheon."

It's not that you'll know who he is just by ascending the 'throne of gods,' but rather that you'll only learn his true identity as 'Heavenly Principle,' 'The One and Only God,' or 'God' when you attend the 'Assembly of the Gods.'

"I've been looking for you for so long to thank you in person but I couldn't find you. How come you've suddenly appeared now?" Rin Tohsaka pouted at Luo Sheng's mysterious explanation.

I am now a ninth-order human god, and I will soon ascend to godhood. At that time, I will see who you really are.

"Oh~ Well, I only had to show up because I heard you broke the Pantheon's sacred tree." Luo Sheng stared at Rin Tohsaka with half-closed eyes.

Rin Tohsaka's expression froze instantly, and Sakura Tohsaka also looked guilty. She knew that her sister had broken off branches of the Divine Tree more than once.

"And you broke it more than once, didn't you?" Luo Sheng said with a smile, watching Rin Tohsaka's expression change repeatedly. "I remember that you can't just pick the fruit of the Divine Tree without the permission of the four administrators of the Pantheon of Life and Death, let alone break off a branch of the Divine Tree. That's a very serious matter."

All the plants in the Pantheon are governed by rules, naturally possessing divine qualities above godhood. Every plant there is a divine plant, and these divine plants are managed by Istaru and the others.

The reason Rin Tohsaka was able to secretly pick the fruit was because the administrator turned a blind eye, since Rin carried a trace of his aura.

As for the source of their aura, it was naturally because their holy marks were bestowed upon them by him, the God of Heaven. Therefore, they were considered to be people he favored. In addition, they had the power given to them by Quetzal, so they were regarded as future great gods. As long as they did not make any fundamental mistakes, he would turn a blind eye to everything else.

"...This, this..." Rin Tohsaka frantically ran her hands through her twin tails that hung down to her chest, her eyes darting around nervously.
