But after thinking about it, Zhang Heng was not surprised.
After all, he is the first brother of the universe who can stabilize one end of the Purge Alliance most of the time. Of course, he will not lose to the second brother in terms of momentum.
At this point, there was no need for Zhang Heng to continue testing.
Because Yves's attitude is very obvious, it also shows that the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance does not care whether his joining will bring benefits to the alliance or cause trouble.
Yes, after all, an alliance of this size would definitely not expect anything from a mere VI level to the collective.
On the contrary, I don’t think that a mere VI level civilization can cause much trouble to the collective.
For them, what trouble could be greater than being the enemy of all civilizations in the universe?
Therefore, they don't care if Zhang Heng joined them to avoid trouble because he was in trouble.
Or maybe they joined them for other purposes.
They only care about one thing, and that is ideological identity.
The diversity of life has also created a civilization with diverse thinking. Naturally, every life-centered civilization has ideas that other civilizations cannot understand.
But no matter what kind of life and civilization, there is one thing in common, and that is the concept they pursue.
After all, as long as there is an intelligent life civilization with desires, there will definitely be things that it wants to pursue and explore. This is determined by the original desire of life.
Ideas are also the only important hub that maintains the existence of the alliance. The collective maintained by this hub is also more stable and reliable than any group formed in any form.
For any collective in normal times, collective interests are the basis for collective existence. Without collective interests, the collective cannot exist.
However, a collective formed through the bundling of interests can easily fall apart due to interests.
Because collective interests represent the interests of individual individuals.
And it is impossible for the collective to satisfy the interests of every individual all the time. When necessary, in order to maintain the collective, the interests of some individuals may have to be sacrificed.
Thus, the seeds were laid for the collective collapse.
However, an alliance that relies on ideas as its hub is different.
What drives individuals to form such a form of collective, although in essence it can be said to be interests, after all, the reason for coming together is to achieve greater strength with more people, so that we can achieve our pursuits better and faster.
But it can also be said that it is not interest, because ideas cannot be realized, and the collective cannot distribute them to every individual.
On the contrary, the collective will definitely not be able to get back the benefits from some individuals and then sacrifice the benefits that some individuals can realize.
This is tantamount to virtually eliminating an important factor that can affect collective dissolution.
Of course, nothing is absolute. When an alliance collectively pursues ideas, some people will definitely pay more and some will pay less.
It depends on the height of thinking to solve it!
But presumably with the level of thought of civilizations above level VI, they would not worry about this kind of thing, leading to the collective dissolution of the alliance.
At least, so far, I have only heard of alliances being destroyed by other alliances, but I have never heard of any alliance disbanding due to self-collapse.
Getting back to the topic, Yifu signaled for Zhang Heng to find the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, the most powerful force in the three-body universe. At the same time, he quickly informed the alliance of Zhang Heng's joining.
However, except for the Zero Returners who are also in the three-body universe who can receive it quickly, the remaining members of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance will have to wait a long time to receive it.
After all, the only way to travel and communicate in the universe that can absolutely exceed any multiple of the speed of light is through cosmic strings.
But no matter how fast the cosmic string is, it cannot continue to be used across the metaverse.
There are many factors. One of them is the current three-body universe. The control authority of the cosmic strings does not belong to the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance, so naturally they cannot use it.
And even if they can be used, they cannot directly transmit information to other metaverses through the cosmic strings of the three-body metaverse.
The reason is also very simple. Although there are still entrances and exits to connect the Metaverse and the Metaverse, when each Metaverse was created, the cosmic strings were not connected for safety reasons.
But it's okay. Zhang Heng used to be able to impersonate before joining the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance. Now that he has joined, he won't worry about his identity being questioned elsewhere.
Moreover, the matters in the Trisolaran Universe have not yet been settled, and he cannot leave in a short period of time. However, for the time being, there is no need to worry about meeting other members of the alliance elsewhere, and then being questioned by the other party.
"This is the alliance's permission to use cosmic strings, and it can be used normally in any area outside the metaverse."
Later, Yves gave Zhang Heng the permission to use the cosmic string within the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance.
This kind of usage permission is equivalent to the Kuntai civilization's permission to use the cosmic strings of the Star Alliance when Zhang Heng encountered the "Kuntai" civilization outside the Yuan Universe.
However, the Kuntai civilization at that time could only simply use the cosmic strings of the Star Alliance, which were limited to communication and navigation.
What Yifu gave Zhang Heng now is much more advanced.
First of all, simple communication and navigation certainly go without saying.
The special thing, Ive said, is that you can enter a special perspective when using it.
how to say……
According to Zhang Heng's understanding, it can be regarded as the alliance installing a special device for him that includes but is not limited to navigation functions.
Let's compare each alliance's cosmic string to a highway. When ordinary alliance members use it, they can understand it as taking a bus.
Naturally, ordinary alliance members who ride the bus will definitely not be able to change the final destination of the bus, and they will not know exactly where the bus will pass.
To put it simply, ordinary members only have the authority to get on and off the bus.
The reason why Kuntai Civilization was able to send Zhang Heng out halfway was because their bus was blown up by the Star Destroyer Alliance, which caused them to stop halfway.
And the authority that Yves gave Zhang Heng now is equivalent to Zhang Heng owning a car on the highway.
This car has a navigation device, and Zhang Heng can stop at any time at every point recorded in the device where he can park and go up and down.
Each of these "points" basically represents a cosmic string entrance and exit.
So what does this mean?
This means that it is also a complete map outside the Metaverse.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of amazing power one possesses to be able to draw an almost infinite star map from God’s perspective.
Through cosmic strings?
Maybe it's okay in the metaverse. Zhang Heng will also let himself enter that kind of God's perspective through Anna in the future.
But can it still be like this outside the metaverse?
Can the cosmic strings outside the metaverse be controlled by intelligence like the cosmic strings in the three-body metaverse?
Even if it can be controlled through intelligence, since the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance cannot dominate all alliances, it is naturally impossible for them to use cosmic strings to enter the perspective of God.
Because once they have such an ability, other alliances will have no secrets in their eyes, and other alliances will definitely not allow them to do this.
So, how did the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance draw this star map?
Unable to understand!
However, Zhang Heng did not question its authenticity. After all, it was normal for him to be unable to understand the gold content of Brother Universe.
Going back to the authority, except for the points that basically represent the entrance and exit of each cosmic string, the remaining points are the areas where other alliance members are located.
In other words, Zhang Heng has the authority to contact any alliance member at any time.
The remaining points are also color-coded, but they are only divided into two colors, red and green.
However, there is less red and more green.
"The green alliance strongholds are the forces that you can mobilize with your current authority, while the red ones are the ones that you cannot mobilize."
Here Yves also gave an explanation: "Similarly, the color mark displayed on other alliance members who have the same authority as you is also red."
It is easy to understand when it is said that Zhang Heng, a member of the alliance below the VI level, can be mobilized at any time, but not those above the VI level.
As for the remaining permissions, Ive did not introduce them one by one, leaving it to Zhang Heng to explore slowly by himself.
All in all, all you need to know is that what Zhang Heng obtained from it was an internal management-level authority of the Ten-Dimensional Pastoral Alliance.
After understanding this, Zhang Heng relaxed a lot.
At least, after he joined, he was not a minion, but a management member with high authority.
The worry that I would be treated as cannon fodder after joining was gone at this moment.
"Thank you for your help and clarifying my doubts, Mr. Yves. I'll see you later."
Zhang Heng expressed his sincere thanks to it.
Although Yves never said what status he had in the alliance, Zhang Heng also didn't know how high a representative of the alliance was in his own alliance.
However, from the fact that Yves recruits new members to the alliance without any request, and even seems to be a bit hasty, it can be seen that it can directly represent the will of the alliance at certain times.
This means that its authority really represents the alliance as it literally means.
After bidding farewell to Yves, and finally having the confidence to fight against an alliance that already owned its own universe, Zhang Heng's heart dropped.
However, Zhang Heng did not make a special trip to the Zero Returner.
Since Yves has already notified Zero Zero, Zero Zero is now aware of his existence.
Next, as long as he enters God's perspective through Anna, while alarming all the alliance representatives, he will definitely alarm the Zeroes.
By then, if those alliance representatives start to target him, I believe that Zero Zero will stop those old ones for him without him opening his mouth.
…
The perspective returned to Guan Yifan. After Zhang Heng left, he quickly informed Cheng Xin.
After learning that Zhang Heng had let her go, she finally came out of the small universe again with confidence.
Still driving that battle star, she came to pick up Guan Yifan and those who had been left behind before.
"Thank you. Maybe I am really not suitable to lead a civilization. Without you, I may once again plunge a civilization into an abyss."
After Guan Yifan returned to the battle star, Cheng Xin said.
"Do you resent him?"
However, Guan Yifan asked inexplicably.
Cheng Xin knew who Guan Yifan was asking. She thought for a moment before replying: "Logically speaking, I should resent him. From a human emotional and moral perspective, he should also be classified as an evil being." .”
After all, from her perspective, she came here millions of light years away just to help the humans in the solar system.
She went to war with fringe civilizations and captured fringe civilizations for the sake of humanity.
However, Zhang Heng suddenly jumped out and asked her to hand over the captives from the fringe civilization.
Is she wrong if she doesn't give it?
She doesn't think she's at fault, and only her emotional kindness can keep her human and not be assimilated by the general environment of the universe.
"But now I feel that maybe my wishful thinking is not necessarily right. Although my approach can allow humans to retain their humanity, it cannot save humans!"
"Just like what you did in the past, you destroyed your own home planet with your own hands, but the reason why humans can still exist now is because of you..."
Cheng Xin said.
The original solar system civilization did not seize this opportunity. Thirty-five years, a life-and-death period, were delayed, perhaps because of her.
Now that she thinks about this, her heart can no longer feel the pain, and may have become numb.
When Cheng Xin talked about the past, Guan Yifan said: "For humans, light speed sailing is a milestone. This can be regarded as the third enlightenment movement and the third Renaissance, because light speed sailing has fundamentally changed people's thinking. It also changes civilization and culture.”
"The subsequent end of the universe can be seen as a milestone, which allowed us to understand the face of the universe."
"Yes, the moment I entered the speed of light, I also changed."
Cheng Xin replied: "When I think that I can cross time and space in my lifetime, reach the edge of the universe in space, and reach the end of the universe in time, things that used to only stay on the philosophical level suddenly become very realistic and concrete."
"Now, for example, the end of the universe and the purpose of the universe. These things that used to be very philosophical and ethereal, now every layman has to consider!"
"I have a hunch that humanity will once again passively move towards the next milestone."
Guan Yifan continued.
"The end of the universe has been brought forward, is it still unavoidable after all?"
Cheng Xin asked.
Although Guan Yifan had mentioned to her before that the universe might be restarted earlier this time, he still took a chance.
After all, aren’t most of the higher civilizations who advocate an early restart for the Zeroers opposing them?
Even if a small number later turn to them, they still cannot violate the will of most civilizations.
However, looking at Guan Yifan's reaction now, it seems that even so, it still can't stop the Zeroers from mentioning restarting?
However, before Guan Yifan could say anything more, Cheng Xin suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.
If I had to describe it, it was a kind of trembling in the soul. The whole person and even the soul were exposed as if they were being peeled off.
She looked at Guan Yifan, whose face was also full of horror and confusion.
It is conceivable that Guan Yifan's situation is not much better than him.
In fact, it's not just the two of them, everyone on the planet feels this way.
In fact, all life in the entire three-body universe cannot escape being enveloped by this unknown fear.
"I felt like there was someone right above us, and he was watching me like God."
Cheng Xin turned pale and tried to describe it.
