---------------------------------------------------------------------
In a state of nervous excitement, he couldn't contain himself anymore and pressed the unremarkable protrusion on the metallic bead. The bead emitted a faint warmth and slowly hovered above his open palm, casting a holographic image before him. Sky Scar stared nervously at it, but to his disappointment, the image was too blurry. Apart from the vague silhouette of a beautiful figure and a pair of familiar, bright eyes, nothing else could be discerned. It was clear that the woman didn't intend to reveal her face to him.
"You're awake," a sweet and magnetizing voice transmitted. Hearing the voice, Sky Scar unconsciously gulped, "When you woke up, I had already left. Don't worry, I know you don't have money, I've paid for everything here. You can leave whenever you want. There's something I want to make clear to you, I chose you, not because I'm attracted to you. The reason will become clear to you in due time. But that's it, don't look for me in the future, I won't appear in front of you. We have no connection."
Hearing this, Sky Scar was dumbfounded. What's this about? A one-night stand? What kind of girl would willingly give up her first time under such circumstances? The sensation of being set up welled up in his heart. Like the girl's message implied, there must be a good reason. But at least he breathed a sigh of relief, grateful she had paid for everything. But amidst his frantic thoughts, the voice from the metallic bead continued.
"You're an interesting person. Okay, I should go. If I've caused you any trouble due to the happenings of last night, I apologize in advance. From your looks, you seem to have suffered a heartbreak as well as humiliation. Who cares about what others say? If you want happiness, do what you want to do. No good thing will naturally fall onto your lap, to get something, you need to fight for it. That's what my mother told me, now, I pass it on to you. Consider it as compensation."
A flash of light, and the metallic bead reverted to its normal state. The blurry image disappeared. Sky Scar froze entirely, his face, his skin, all turning a deep shade of purple. He had always been law-abiding during his time in the academy, since he didn't have any money, he couldn't do much else apart from studying and spending time with his girlfriend. He couldn't possibly believe that he would act this recklessly. What had happened? I kept saying that it wasn't myself in front of that girl… Now at this moment, Sky Scar just wanted to find a hole and crawl into it, never to be seen again. Yet, he overlooked a small detail. The sense of desolation in his heart had unknowingly disappeared.
After a long while, Sky Scar snapped back to his senses from the whirlpool of emotions. Swiftly, he put on his academy uniform. Only when the soft and sturdy fabric covered his body again did he feel a sense of calm. Accidentally, his gaze fell upon the emblem of the Academy of Zhongting on his chest. Heat rushed into his brain as he suddenly remembered; it was his graduation day! After five years of diligent studies, today marked the end of it all. But, the time was running out.
Throughout his life, apart from his parents and the teacher who brought him out of the slums; the only thing that mattered was his studies at the academy and the person who had left him yesterday. He understood perfectly that the opportunity to attend the Academy was a difficult one to come by and in order to let his parents lead a better life in the future and himself to step out of the slum, he had always put in his best effort to study. While other students indulged in various forms of entertainment in the City of Zhongting; he had been tirelessly studying and practicing. Today was the all-important graduation day; five years of hard work would bear fruit. As long as he obtained the graduation certification from the Academy of Zhongting, at the very least he could find a decent job in the future; and save his parents from living in hunger and poverty.
Without any hesitation, the moment he thought of the graduation ceremony, he dashed out. The door of his room automatically slid open as he approached. Standing in front of him was a maze-like labyrinth. Nevertheless, it did not faze him. Relying on his sharp senses and thorough knowledge of the architectural structures of the Galaxy Union, he quickly found the right direction. Three minutes later, he stormed out of Dream City's entrance. Having eye-catchingly beautiful eyes, the woman had paid for everything, so naturally, no one would stop him. The moment he stepped out, Sky Scar, disregarding the astonished stares of the crowd, tuned his Cosmic Energy to its optimal state, a surge of energy gushed from the bottom of his feet, launching his figure to the skies like a laser cannon's beam. At that moment, his wristwatch showed that there were only five minutes left until his graduation ceremony at the Academy of Zhongting began.
Flying skill, it was something impossible for ordinary people to attain. Because to practice this flying skill, one must master Cosmic Energy as the basis. The methods to study Cosmic Energy were only found within the large-scale academy, which required an exorbitant amount of tuition fees. With the invention of flying cars, the rich were already used to traveling with it as a means of transportation. Hence, very few ever learned the flying skill, and even those who did, didn't put in much effort. At the current state of the Planet Zhongting, enjoyment was the most critical factor for every affluent person.
The Cosmic Alliance, also known as the union of all humanity, has evolved from individual nations to a unified system. There are no longer any divisions based on nationality and ethnicity. Regardless of who you are, everyone can integrate seamlessly into the community. The universal language that countless scientists have created, known as the cosmic language, was spread across every corner of the universe two hundred years ago. Currency was also standardized as Cosmic Coins. The advance in technology rapidly boosted the development of the entire Cosmic Alliance. Now, traveling between different planets is as easy as a breeze. The parliament oversees all the affairs of the Cosmic Alliance, consisting of the Upper and Lower House. Each house has five hundred representatives. Even though the numbers are large, the division of labor is very clear. The Upper House is primarily composed of high-ranking government officials and local heads of different planets, whereas the Lower House consists of representatives from various communities of different planets. The Speakers of both houses have the power to veto. Despite the Upper House holding substantially more power, the Lower House has the right to control and supervise. The two houses balance and determine the development direction of the Galaxy Union.
The military directly reports to the parliament. The Galaxy Union has already evolved beyond land-based military, its largest military force is made up of the Ten Major Fleets. These fleets navigate between stars, and each fleet possesses colossal destructive power to easily annihilate a planet. The fleet consists of approximately ten thousand battleships of various sizes, excluding transport and supply ships. The most formidable of all are the god-level warships led by the fleet commander. A god-level battleship can be viewed as humanity's most powerful weapon. Each command ship is equipped with eight hundred primary cannons, thirty-six hundred secondary cannons, reaches a length of three thousand meters, has a protective shield that can reach up to one hundred thousand degrees Celsius and is loaded with nearly ten thousand battleships and space cars. Along with at least eight escort ships that are one thousand meters long, the offensive capability is nearly destructive. Regardless of the star fleet's defensive equipment, the vast firepower that a god-level battleship carries can easily annihilate them. In the entire Galaxy Union, only these Ten Major Fleets have such mother ships in active service. The ten fleet commanders report directly to the chief commander and sit around different regions in the galaxy, belonging to the outer administrative star of the Cosmic Alliance.
