Chapter 743: Differentiated Star Regions

Eastern star region, Feikro star field, 'Feihuan'γ residential planet.

The large auditorium built in blue and white has graceful wave elements in its style. Some decorations are appropriately embellished with pearl elements, which makes it not monotonous and makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Passing through the grand and majestic auditorium, there is a pool exclusively for singers on the inside. Shui Yanqing is now soaking in the water, letting her long hair spread out like seaweed. She looks at the murals outlined with light-colored paints, lost in thought, and occasionally closes her eyes to take a nap and rest for a while.

Next to the pool are three large stained glass windows lined up side by side. The surface of these glasses looks like delicate waves, blurring the light and making it difficult to see the scenery inside and outside, but they can bring light into the room, illuminating the clear pool water that is slightly blue.

It was extremely quiet inside, with only the occasional sound of paddling water being heard.

All factions in the Eastern Star Region felt a lot of pressure from the envoys sent by the Central Star Region. Not only did they feel that their own star region was difficult to resist, they also began to suspect that some forces in the Eastern Star Region had become traitors and had defected to the Central Star Region. During this period of time, despite various meetings, the internal rifts had become larger and larger. Even if they had good ideas and suggestions, people did not dare to speak directly at the meeting, but chose to secretly tell Luo Fenghua, Otiberius, and Shui Yanqing.

Compared with others, these three singers are the least likely to surrender, and they are not threatened by the large groups in the central star field, so they are trustworthy.

The more news like this she received, the more pessimistic Shui Yanqing felt, because although most people still said they were resisting on the surface, many had already become discouraged and started to consider how to seek a position in the new order.

Compared with the central star region, the strength of the eastern star region is still far behind. The Fifth Fleet alone is enough to make everyone breathless, not to mention the Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth Fleets that have not yet been dispatched.

Looking back now, it seems like a legend that Blanche led the Western Star Region's combined fleet to defeat the Central Star Region more than ten years ago. It is hard to believe.

"Perhaps at that time, no one knew the huge impact that the Sunday-level singer had."

Before Blanche raised the crown, the Federation had not seen the power of the Sun Crown for hundreds of years. The lack of Sun-class singers caused people to ignore and forget this power, so suddenly, not only the orthodoxy of the Central Star Region was threatened, but even the means of suppression were very passive and hasty, which allowed the Western Star Region to successfully take advantage of the situation.

But the situation is different now. After Blanche's death, the only two singers in the Federation who are capable of raising the crown are Prin and Hessia. However, the crown that Hessia raised that time was the Moon Crown, and the number of crowns was limited to the residents of one planet. In the eyes of many people, its value is not as good as Prin's.

Therefore, it is currently officially stated that Prinkko is the most powerful singer in the Federation. While possessing this trump card, the Central Star Region also has six extremely powerful main fleets. It can be said that it is at the peak of confidence. At this time, Blanche passed away and the Western Star Region became weak. They no longer have any worries and scruples, and naturally want to return to their previous position.

With such a powerful momentum, even if some knowledgeable people in the Eastern Star Region wanted to resist, they had to consider the fear and worries of the majority of people.

The opportunity to gain independence is certainly good, but if we have to fight for it at the cost of being liquidated and collapsed, isn’t it a bit unprofitable? After all, we have been governed and ruled before, and we are all familiar with the situation of the federation in the past.

Unlike the Western Star Region where people had to fight in desperation, neither the people nor the upper echelons in the Eastern Star Region had a strong will to resist.

"It's really difficult to have firm faith." Shui Yanqing stood in the water, scooped up some clean water with both hands, and watched it flow through her fingers, bringing some cool splashes.

Afterwards, she climbed out of the pool step by step along the escalator, stepped onto the white carved stone slabs, shook off the water droplets on her body, then opened the door and walked to the dressing room on the side.

In the afternoon, in the outdoor courtyard.

"Lord Shui Yanqing, Miss Heshia is here." Shui Yanqing, who was sitting under the grape vine trellis, heard the voice, raised her head and nodded slightly.

"I'll pick her up."

A few minutes later, the two walked side by side into the courtyard and stood under the grape vine trellis. They were still very interested in reminiscing about the past and talking about recent events, with no intention of sitting down to talk.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot. Let's go sit over there for a while." After a while, Shui Yanqing reacted and took Tilan's hand and walked towards the table and chairs not far away.

Since graduation, she has rarely interacted with other singers. She has been doing activities alone or living in the research institute most of the time. It was a rare opportunity for her to meet Tilan, and she couldn't help but reveal her long-suppressed emotions and desire to talk.

"It's okay." Tilan blinked with a smile, she knew that Shui Yanqing was really happy to see her just now, so she didn't mind that they were standing and talking. This was the scene that should happen between good friends.

After sitting down, Shui Yanqing calmed down her overly excited mood a little, and then poured cold brewed flower tea for Tilan and herself.

"I lost my composure just now." She invited him here for a serious matter.

"Actually, the reason I invited Tilan here this time is because I wanted to..." She was thinking about how to explain the current situation in the Eastern Star Region.

"I understand. Is it because of the diplomatic delegation?" Even in the southern star region, Tilan knew about the diplomatic delegation's visit to the eastern star region.

On the surface, this delegation went to the Eastern Star Region in the name of economic investment and development investigation, so it was naturally difficult for them to refuse openly. However, the pressure that this delegation brought to the Eastern Star Region was real.

"That's right." Seeing that Tilan understood, Shui Yanqing saved herself a lot of worries.

"Do you or the Eastern Star Region have a unified opinion now?" Tilan asked this question.

In fact, it is not difficult to ask her and the 'Emerald Dragon' organization to help the Eastern Star Region resist the pressure from the Central Star Region, but she does not know what the current situation in the Eastern Star Region is, whether they have reached a consensus or are in a state of chaos and dispersion. If it is the latter, even if she helps with all her strength, she may not be able to hold on. At that time, she will be accused of crossing the line and interfering in the internal affairs of the Eastern Star Region, and then be sanctioned by the factions in the Central Star Region.

"This..." Hearing this question, Shui Yanqing could only shake her head helplessly.

Although she, Luo Fenghua and Otiberius are the leaders of the three largest factions in the Eastern Star Region, this jurisdictional relationship is not strong. It is probably just verbal and slight recognition from all parties, and it cannot be said to be complete loyalty and submission.

If the situation is going well, or in a peaceful era, the alliance they formed would probably be very advantageous and could easily gather a large number of groups. However, in today's era of drastic changes in the federal situation, this ambiguous faction cannot truly replace a disciplined organization. The loyalty they give to the organization is limited, and at a certain critical point, they will abandon the organization and betray it.

Seeing Shui Yanqing shaking her head, Tilan also sighed slightly.

"If that's the case, it will be difficult for me to help." She is not just alone now, and she is also responsible for the huge number of followers in the organization behind her. She cannot make promises or agree to anything easily.

"I understand." Shui Yanqing was helpless about this.

The conversation between the two paused, and they would look at the scenery in the distance, and occasionally discuss the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Does Tilan know about the world outside the Federation?" Shui Yanqing asked.

"I probably know something." The girl thought for a moment.

"In addition to the Rose Federation, which occupies most of the Milky Way, there are also the Sigma Mechanical Council and the Holy White Melody Church." "The current specific status of the former is unknown, and the latter only occupies one star field, which is an extremely small country for the Federation."

"If we don't count the countries, there should be some people wandering on the edge of the federation." Tilan thought of the lost planet.

"For example, the rescue society that the old humans set up to survive, some new races that lost the dark sun, and the mermaid tribe that has been wandering in space."

"That's right, what does Tilan think of them?" Shui Yanqing continued to ask, and the porcelain cups in her hands stopped moving.

"Do you think... they are probably very ordinary?" Tilan felt that she had no prejudice. She couldn't say whether she hated them or liked them. She just felt that these ethnic groups were the products left over from history. Among them were arrogant ethnic groups like the Silver Wings, and harmless and weak races like the Silkworm Moth.

It is difficult for singers to lie to each other. Shui Yanqing saw Tilan's performance and felt relieved.

It seems that Tilan is not a stubborn and conservative person.

"Is Yanqing still a little concerned?" Tilan asked with a little curiosity when she saw Shui Yanqing relax.

"Yes, after all, my identity is sensitive." Shui Yanqing inserted her fingers into the hair on her forehead and pressed them with a little distress.

"It seems that Tilan has made this trip in vain." With her current status and influence, it is difficult for her to integrate the eastern star region, let alone make everyone recognize her identity.

"It's okay. It's a happy thing to see you." Since Blanche left, Tilan has missed her old friends.

"If you really can't hold on, you can come to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. It should be much safer here."

Judging from the development trend of the central star field, it will take a lot of time to swallow up the eastern star region, and the southern star region where Tilan is in charge will be the hardest bone to chew, and they will not target it first.

"I understand." Shui Yanqing nodded.

In the next few days, Shui Yanqing took Tilan to visit the local scenery, take walks, go boating, and play.

When it was time to leave, Shui Yanqing hesitated for a while, but still took out a special box and gave it to Tilan.

When taking the box, Tilan felt a sense of heaviness, as if the entire box was made of extremely heavy metal.

"Here is a gift from me, but considering the current situation, Tilan cannot open it for the time being." Shui Yanqing told the girl.

"If one day, I mean one day, something unexpected happens to me, or I can no longer stay in the Federation, this box will automatically unlock and open."

"I understand." Tilan nodded slightly. Since Shui Yanqing was unwilling to elaborate, she must have her considerations and difficulties.

She believed that the other party would not harm her, and she had the patience to wait for the day when the box would open by itself.

"In that case, I will find a safe place to keep it," Tilan replied.

"Thank you Tilan for your understanding." Seeing that Tilan was not unhappy about this, Shui Yanqing spoke apologetically.

"I will do my best in the future. If I can reach a consensus with the representatives of several major factions, I should be able to unify the opinions of the Eastern Star Region. Then I will invite Tilan over." Shui Yanqing talked about the future arrangements.

Finally, the two said their final goodbyes in the star port. Through the transparent metal glass, Shui Yanqing watched the starship that Tilan was on gradually leave the star port, and the blue tail flame gradually disappeared into the depths of the dark sea of ​​stars.

----

In April 1271, the diplomatic mission sent by the Central Star Region was divided into 4 sub-groups, which visited different star regions and discussed business investment and project cooperation with local groups and factions.

Although the leading faction that dominated the Eastern Star Region strongly opposed and interfered with the cooperation, local factions in 13 star regions and representatives of the Central Star Region still reached a cooperation intention.

At this time, cracks began to appear within the Eastern Star Region. The leading factions accused some local star region groups of betrayal and absconding, while the local group factions, relying on the endorsement and guarantee of the central star region, stood firm and unafraid.

The leading factions saw this as tantamount to local factions destroying their own walls and surrendering and selling out for petty gains, which made them furious. The local factions also accused the leading factions of being passive over the years and never coming up with a plan or project worthy of leading the development of the entire star region and confronting the 'Emerald Dragon' and 'Brilliant Stars'. Their choice to join the central star region was also necessary for their own development.

"Besides, the Federation is originally a whole. Why do you always think about becoming independent? Is there any great benefit for you?" This was pointed out by a representative of a local star field.

That's right, because ten years ago, the major groups in the central star field had to withdraw from various star regions and retract their tentacles due to the agreement, and the ones who replaced their ecological niches and vacancies were naturally the large faction groups that now occupy the top of the eastern star region. They are the biggest beneficiaries and naturally want to maintain their current status.

Faced with this kind of revelation that goes straight to the core, the representatives of the leading factions were also enraged and threatened these local factions not to lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

However, faced with such a turbulent situation, the factions in the central star field added fuel to the fire. In order to celebrate the restoration of the Fifth Fleet, they specially conducted an exercise in the central star region. During the exercise, they demonstrated the powerful strength of the main fleet and experimented with a number of advanced weapons brought by the "Sons of the Stars" alliance. This brought huge deterrence and oppression to all star regions.

In this situation, those local star region factions in the Eastern Star Region that had reached cooperation with the Central Star Region became more and more confident. They even dared to directly confront the head faction representative who presided over the meeting. This caused the idea of ​​trying to integrate the opinions of all parties in the Eastern Star Region to collapse, and the Eastern Star Region entered a state of division.

"Unfortunately, what we developed cannot be as great as 'Bright Stars' and 'Emerald Dragon'." Shui Yanqing leaned back in the chair of the research institute disappointedly, looking at the huge projection screen above her head.

Although new genetic drugs can improve the life span and aging problems of most people, the genetic field has always been sensitive and the federal government is very wary of these technologies. Even if they are safe, they still require a long time of review by various departments.

Moreover, even if this technology can be put into production, it cannot bring huge economic effects like the "Brilliant Stars" and "Emerald Dragon" plans. At most, it can only make the planet that manufactures the medicine rich. Moreover, the cost of such medicine is not low, and it is difficult to benefit most ordinary people in the early stage. It can only be popular among a small number of rich people.

Originally, she wanted to use her identity as a singer to gradually promote this medicine, to improve the patients' health while convincing more people to believe in the benefits of gene editing to civilization. However, the current chaotic situation made her feel discouraged and she felt it was difficult to fulfill her original ideal.

Is it really necessary to give up and leave this sea of ​​stars like Senior Fu Yi? She still felt reluctant.

People will eventually be trapped by their own wishes and obsessions, but they also shine because of this belief.
