Upon hearing this, Qin Jin nodded, without any objection.

The qualification for the Desolate Star takes the route of the Military Department. Qin Jin has an excellent relationship with the Military Department. Although he has not joined officially, from the beginning of the Star God’s phenomenon to the formation of the mecha team, a tacit understanding had long been established between them.

In terms of realm and combat power, compared to the colossal Federation Military Department, he couldn’t contribute much, but he definitely didn’t mind doing whatever he could to help the Military Department.

Giving and receiving returns is the way to a lasting path.

Seeing Qin Jin nod, Liu Lingyun continued, asking: "During your cultivation on the Desolate Star, have any fantasy lifeforms emerged because of you?"

"Yes."

Qin Jin answered.

"The next time you visit, if those fantasy lifeforms born because of you still exist and have not vanished, you can actively cultivate and help them improve."

"During that time, related information will be transmitted to you."

"If it has already vanished, then go and create one that aligns with your will and help it grow."

"These fantasy lifeforms born because of individuals are extremely important to both you and the Federation."

Hearing his words, Qin Jin seemed thoughtful.

Seeing that General Liu didn’t seem intent on further explanation, Qin Jin was moved and asked, "General Liu, within the Desolate Star, there are many forbidden zones; it is said that quite a few top-tier fantasy lifeforms reside within them, could it be..."

"Correct."

Liu Lingyun nodded: "The fantasy lifeforms within the forbidden zones are closely related to the Federation, all of them born because of individuals."

"Knowing this is enough, do not delve deeper, as it involves the Federation’s planning. Even I do not know the full extent and simply do what is required of me."

"I understand."

After a few reminders, Liu Lingyun ended the topic and instead chatted with Qin Jin about personal matters.

It was evident that the General stationed at the Star Fortress and in charge of the Desolate Star found Qin Jin very interesting.

After some conversation, Qin Jin bid farewell and prepared to leave.

As he reached the exit of the office, a voice called out from behind.

"Qin Jin, thank you."

Qin Jin turned back, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "General Liu, what is this?"

"An old subordinate of mine went to your hometown and has met you before."

Liu Lingyun gestured with his hand as he spoke: "Go ahead."

Qin Jin left the office.

Combining General Liu’s behavior with his words, Qin Jin quickly realized that the old subordinate he mentioned must have gone to Thunder Star, participated in the Star God’s phenomenon, and survived!

"That senior Ten Thousand Tribulations Martial God sure has given me a great gift."

"Although I haven’t joined the Military Department, I already have my own [connections] there."

With this thought, Qin Jin shook his head.

Outside, the two soldiers who accompanied him were waiting. Upon seeing him leave, they led the way back again.

Qin Jin’s thoughts were rapidly turning.

From beginning to end, although he prepared to head to the battlefield and hone his skills in the legion, he never intended to join the Military Department.

Just like when he chose Martial Abyss and refused the Celestial Strategy, he didn’t want to be constrained.

However, the path of life is unpredictable, and the Federation Military Department is an extremely complex system. But the side shown to him is one of high regard and continuous investment.

"Let’s take it one step at a time."

"I originally intended to be like Master Gu, but it seems a bit challenging now, though the Federation itself has many systems, unless one truly ascends to the peak, a choice must inevitably be made."

"This is also... a fortunate dilemma."

Suppressing these thoughts, Qin Jin recalled General Liu’s words: "It seems that the fantasy lifeforms emerging because of individuals have other benefits. However, only Federation personnel who can enter the Desolate Star multiple times can acquire this information."

"If one can only enter once, the fantasy lifeforms created can only grow wildly, without easily reaching the High Realm; perhaps there are other considerations in between."

"Fantasy True Dragon."

Thinking of the reluctance in the dragon’s eyes when he left, Qin Jin inwardly mused: "I have done all I could, from here on, it depends on your own destiny."

Continuing forward, he reached the docking area and boarded the Xingzhou Ship, that familiar feeling came over him.

In the instant he entered the Xingzhou Ship, the terminal screen flickered, and the figure of Candle Kite appeared.

She was wearing a uniform this time, with a cheerful smile on her face: "Captain Qin Jin, we’re setting out again."

"Just a moment ago..."

"First, help me bring up the communication."

"Received."

Candle Kite cut herself off, responded with a nod, and her form became a bit more illusory, after a moment, one information window after another appeared in front, showing the information he received during his time on the Desolate Star.

Having integrated there, Candle Kite fell silent, the communication naturally cut off, and Qin Jin essentially experienced a [retreat].

Some information involved casual talk from acquaintances, while others were more important, such as the survey questionnaire sent by Lv Xuan’s team, concerning the recording of his personal information and evaluation regarding the mecha. Since a large team is to be built to grow with him, it’s natural that it doesn’t only appear each time a new mecha is built.

Just like how a drop of water can wear away a stone, every piece of recorded information makes the team members more familiar with Qin Jin, possibly allowing them to play a greater role in the future.

Aside from these, Qin Jin also received a message from Bai Huaiyu. After unsuccessfully requesting to accompany Qin Jin, as Qin Jin suggested, she conducted observations on the Martial Abyss students in her role as a Civilization Observer. At the forefront was Xie Wuya, and then were Chi Wenwu and others on the list.

Though from the same cohort, each person’s nature and growth journey were completely different, making them entirely distinct observation directions.

The most surprising message for Qin Jin came from [Tang Qian]. The message was sent long ago, during the early stages of Qin Jin’s time on the Desolate Star, and seemed somewhat urgent in tone.

This Federation Major General, once responsible for the Star God’s Chosen One, hadn’t been in contact with Qin Jin for a long time, yet this time initiated contact.

Searching through the information, he responded to each message.

The message sent to Tang Qian received a quick reply, and from its content, it no longer seemed urgent, only inviting Qin Jin to meet once when he returns home.

"Major General Tang Qian has gone to Thunder Star again?"

"Judging by his words, it seems he will stay there for a long time, or else he wouldn’t extend such an invitation to me."

After some busy work, the communication screen before him dissipated.

Qin Jin looked at Candle Kite.

Candle Kite widened her eyes in curiosity: "Qin Jin, what do you want to say?"

"I need to add a new course to my curriculum."

"Hmm?"

Candle Kite floated to Qin Jin’s side: "Which one would that be?"

"It’s related to arrays."

"For example, the Federation’s teleportation array, restriction array, and even spiritual energy array, I want to gain some understanding."

Qin Jin spoke in a steady voice.

This wasn’t a sudden notion; it had long been on his mind, especially after experiencing the final procedure on the Desolate Star, it became more certain.

In both the Great Wilderness and the Federation, [arrays] exist.

In the Great Wilderness, the Divine Cauldron Restriction is the largest array, and back when he obtained the Celestial Cyan Technique, the Bamboo Forest Secret Realm was also shrouded in an array.

In the Federation, there are teleportation arrays, spiritual energy arrays, and during the selection of the Chosen Ones, the overlapping force fields in the Star Sea, limiting the Divine Spirit, was also faintly seen by Qin Jin.

These are the external reasons why Qin Jin wants to learn about arrays.

Besides the external factors, there are internal ones: the Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking have the [array] secret, and to encompass all elements, the array is the most suitable method. Understanding it will, in Qin Jin’s view, aid in organizing his own path.

Candle Kite, acting as a teacher, is the top-level artificial intelligence of Martial Abyss, knowledgeable about countless things, so Qin Jin directly expressed his idea to her.

"Array."

Candle Kite appeared thoughtful: "There are relevant courses in the academy’s elective courses, but they are not very in-depth, the philosophy of Martial Abyss focuses more on oneself."

"Qin Jin."

"If you need, I can contact my mainframe to design a related course for you."

"However, courses about spiritual energy arrays can only be understood by a Spiritualist."

"Incorporate them all."

Qin Jin decided decisively: "It can also provide an opportunity to further understand the Spiritualist."

"Okay."

"I will contact the mainframe now."

During the exchange, the Xingzhou Ship had already soared into the Star Sea, embarking on a new journey.

The avatar of Candle Kite hovered in place, with streams of data flashing in her eyes.

"Candle Kite’s mainframe."

Qin Jin mused inwardly, his expression becoming serious.

In the Weiyang Star System, although it was thanks to Elder Su’s rescue, and ultimately Your Excellency the Observer who took him away, at that time he already knew everything, and Martial Abyss also took steps to summon the mainframe of Candle Kite!

This artificial intelligence of Martial Abyss is not purely a technological creation, but a formidable force in itself!
