As the spacecraft gradually approached, Yang Yi and the others standing behind the porthole were already dumbfounded.

In front of the spacecraft is a beautiful planet reflecting a light blue light, but what shocked Yang Yi and the others was not the planet, but the ring of stars in the same orbit as the planet, an artificial world like a necklace that surrounds the star, and that planet is the most dazzling pendant on this necklace. It was the Hidden Spirit, and the giant ring of stars was a miracle created by the Hidden Spirits.

At this time, Yang Yi knew that Xijia Star was not a satellite of the Hidden Spirit Star, but an asteroid with a circumsolar orbit, to be precise, a planet that could change its orbit at will. In the beginning, Sijia was indeed a moon of the Hidden Star, but after becoming a royal domain, its environment was completely transformed, and there was a large set of ecosystems covering the entire planet, which could change its orbit at will.

According to Amy, Sijia is in a separate orbit around the Sun most of the time, and only returns to the orbit of the moon around the Hidden Star on certain days. In doing so, in addition to maintaining the independent status of Sijia Star, it is also related to the defense deployment of the entire star system. Although Sijia Star is Amy's domain, it is a royal domain and one of the main stations of the Royal Guard. Because the Royal Guard is responsible for the defense of the entire star system, the Siga Star has military value, and it must adjust its orbit according to the deployment of the Royal Guard. If the Hidden Spirits are invaded, Siga will also transform into a space fortress to defend their homeland.

In this regard, Yang Yi and others did not find it strange.

Quite simply, in the home system, there are also many moons and asteroids that have been completely modified to be used as space fortresses in times of war.

It's just, that giant ring of stars. It really shocked Yang Yi and the others.

You must know that before this, Yang Yi and the others had not seen the stellar ring at all, and they didn't even know the existence of the stellar ring.

Although for the Human Federation, the technology to create stellar rings, as well as the resources required, are still a huge threshold that cannot be crossed. But for almost all advanced civilizations, making stellar rings is not a difficult task, and even more so for a top-level civilization like the Hidden Spirits.

The point is, this stellar ring of the Hidden Spirits can be invisible!

Obviously, this is not the technology that any civilization, not even all top civilizations, can master and possess.

Of course, this stealthy ring of stars is not much different in nature from other rings.

The main value of the stellar ring is to provide a wider living space.

Although driven by the rapid development of science and technology, especially the advancement of Origin Technology. It has been made possible for any civilization in the Galactic Alliance, even low-level civilizations, to modify the planet to make it suitable for survival, but some social factors will not change with scientific progress, such as attachment to home, and the impact of economic, trade, security, cultural and other factors. As a result, almost all of civilization's native galaxies are overcrowded. Far away colonial galaxies are rarely visited. In the case of the Human Federation, everyone wants to settle in their home system. Instead of staying in the colonial galaxy to fend for itself.

The problem is that the capacity of any galaxy is limited, and there are even fewer planets suitable for carbon-based life to survive and thrive.

In response to this problem, stellar rings were created.

Although in the beginning, the top civilizations, including the Hidden Spirits, who were the first to build stellar rings, were not to expand their living space. It's about scientific research, a big enough accelerator around a star. But after technological advances, the added value of stellar rings is revealed.

The so-called stellar ring is actually a man-made ecosystem.

In this huge circular world, there are mountains and plains. There are lakes, there are oceans, there are forests, there are deserts, and there are also indispensable cities. Because it faces the star, there is only daytime and no night in the stellar ring, and the light is very abundant. It can be said that the stellar ring has the most comfortable environment, it is simply heaven, a paradise created by advanced technology.

Of course, the same is true for the Hidden Spirits.

According to Amy's introduction, although the Hidden Spirit Star is still the home planet of the Hidden Spirit Clan, after the completion of the same orbital star ring, the Hidden Spirit people moved away from the Hidden Spirit Star in batches. Now, almost all of the Hidden Spirits live in the Star Ring, and the Hidden Soul Star has become a forbidden place for the Hidden Spirits.

In addition, the Hidden Spirit Star is also the royal territory of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and it is the territory of the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

Although I haven't been there, I can imagine that it must be a prosperous world, not to mention Yang Yi, which can open the eyes of all human beings.

It's just that Yang Yi's destination is not a stellar ring, but a hidden spirit star.

In fact, this is a very ordinary planet, about the size of the Weaver Planet's Mother Star.

This is not surprising, more than 5,000 years ago, the Galactic Alliance that escaped from the "Apocalypse" was very weak when it came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and even needed to get help from those kind indigenous civilizations, so when choosing a galaxy to settle in, many civilizations, including the Hidden Spirits, had no choice at all, and it would be good to be able to find a planet with the right environment.

On the Hidden Soul Star, 75 percent is ocean.

Although it has a very comfortable environment, especially after the Hidden Spirits moved out, the natural environment of the Hidden Soul Star has been fully restored, but relatively speaking, the vast ocean also makes the space for the Hidden Spirits to settle very limited. Even at its peak, the total population on the Hidden Spirit Star did not exceed 20 billion. Until now, there are probably not even 200,000 people left on the Hidden Spirit Star.

Of course, almost all of them are members of the royal family.

In fact, the royal family itself is the largest family in the Hidden Spirit Clan, and therefore has the most powerful influence in the entire Hidden Spirit Clan.

In a sense, the royal family is the foundation of the royal family.

Among the three main forces of the Hidden Spirit Clan, the Imperial Family occupies a corner. If the royal family and the royal family are treated as a whole, then the Hidden Spirit Clan has only two forces. According to Amy, the royal family has been able to fight against the Council of Elders for thousands of years, and the support of the royal family has played a crucial role. In other words, the royal family can rule the Hidden Spirit Clan by relying on the royal family, because the royal family, which has nearly a million members, is an extremely powerful force in itself. Among other things, the members of the Royal Guard are all from the royal family, and all of them are adult individuals. If it weren't for the limited resources and the insurmountable clan rules of the royal family, nearly a million members of the royal family would have been able to obtain adult qualifications. If all these members of the royal family are armed, let alone the Elders of the Hidden Spirit Clan, even a high-level civilization will not be able to resist.

The royal family is the core of the royal family, and the royal family is the foundation of the royal family. To put it simply, the authority of the royal family determines the fundamental interests of the royal family in the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the strength of the royal family directly affects the authority of the royal family. This kind of companionship has become the key to the royal family's dominance of the Hidden Spirit Star.

The competition is the Presbyterian Church.

If the Imperial Family originated from the pioneers of the Hidden Spirits, or to be precise, the first emperor who led the Hidden Spirits to the Southern Alpha System and took root here, then the Council of Elders is the descendants of those who followed the Pioneers and made significant contributions to the early days of the Hidden Spirits.

In the Hidden Spirits, the Emperor gained supreme power and status through a powerful royal family, while the Council of Elders gained strength to rival the Emperor by virtue of its large number of commoners. The Emperor was able to mobilize a royal guard of members of the Imperial Family, and the Council of Elders had a legion of civilians. Although the Royal Guards are extremely strong in individual combat and far superior to the Legions, the Legions are much larger and have far more strength than the Royal Guards. What's more, after thousands of years of evolution, the confrontation between the Elders and the Imperial Clan has become the basic pattern of the Hidden Spirits, that is, the basic form of power struggle, so the Elders' control over the legions is more unbreakable. In other words, even if the Heavenly Saint Emperor wanted to mobilize the legion, he had to obtain the support and consent of the Council of Elders.

In a sense, the Legion is the foundation of the Council of Elders against the Royalty.

Not all, of course.

In fact, the Presbyterian Church was not the spokesperson of the commoners, but of the privileged aristocracy, and this has been the case since the day it was born. Obviously, in the Hidden Spirits, the privileged nobles are still in the minority. For the vast majority of the commoners, the royal family is still the ruler of the Hidden Spirits, and the emperor still has irreplaceable importance. Of course, this is also directly related to the prestige established by successive emperors.

As a result, the Council of Elders wielded a large legion, but it could not replace the royal family and the royal family.

Although over the past thousands of years, especially when the influence of the royal family has decreased, the Presbyterian Council has staged many coups d'état or similar actions to try to replace or outlaw the royal family, but in the end they have failed, after all, the status of the royal family in the eyes of the common people is too high to be replaced.

It was precisely because of this that after the Heavenly Saint Emperor decided to send troops to the battle, only the Royal Guards could be mobilized, not the powerful Hidden Spirit Legion.

Similarly, if you want the Hidden Spirit Clan to send troops, you have to convince the Council of Elders, and it is Yang Yi who is qualified to go to the Council of Elders, to be precise, Yang Yi after passing the trial.

Here, it has to do with the basic composition of the Hidden Elders' Church, and it is also related to the traditions of the Hidden Spirits.

In fact, this is also a privilege of foreigners.

To put it simply, after passing the trial, the foreign race gained not only the approval of the Hidden Spirit Clan, but also the basic right to become an elder. Although he only became an honorary elder and did not vote in full, he had all the basic rights to give speeches, explain his views, and advocate for his rights. If it is a vital interest, unless the title of Honorary Elder is revoked, or it is contrary to the fundamental interests of the Hidden Spirits, the Council of Elders must support it unconditionally.

Because this privilege was only for foreign races, the Heavenly Saint Emperor couldn't help, and Yang Yi had to work his own.

As for the origin of this tradition, Amy said it and said it in detail. (To be continued.) )
