[Host Reward: Multi-Realm Energy Integration Level 2 – Energy Manipulation, Dimensional Navigation, and Combat Efficiency Enhanced.]
The Proxima civilization observed silently, then cautiously offered additional blueprints—propulsion enhancements, energy manipulation techniques, and dimensional combat algorithms. Humanity's technological and cultivation potential expanded exponentially in mere hours.
Meanwhile, back in Alpha Centauri, remnants of the Shadow Fleet regrouped. Energy pulses indicated communication with other hostile factions in nearby star systems.
[System Advisory: Future Threat Probability – 76%. Recommendation: Strengthen Human Interstellar Defense Capabilities.]
Arion took note, preparing the Eclipse Fleet for potential multi-system engagements. He began designing a next-generation interstellar cruiser, incorporating alien propulsion, multi-dimensional shields, and cultivation amplification nodes.
[Host Reward: Advanced Shipbuilding Mastery – Efficiency +47%. Multi-Dimensional Combat Integration Enhanced.]
Exploration of neighboring systems continued. Arion dispatched smaller fleets to map resources, identify habitable planets, and locate civilizations suitable for diplomacy—or conquest if necessary. Each new system provided cultivation opportunities, alien technology, and challenges that honed Arion's strength and wisdom.
[System Advisory: Host Status – Multi-System Expansion Ongoing. Recommended Task: Continue Cultivation and Technology Integration.]
Through these explorations, Arion discovered a dimensional rift leading to a parallel plane. Energy readings indicated civilizations far older and more powerful than any human or previously encountered alien society.
[System Advisory: Multi-Realm Encounter Detected – Host Probability of Survival: Moderate. Recommended: Increase Cultivation and Dimensional Awareness.]
Arion grinned. "Finally… beings worthy of my attention."
He meditated, letting the system guide his consciousness across planes. Time and space became malleable; energy flowed into him from multiple dimensions simultaneously. His lifespan extended, his strength surged, and his awareness of the multiverse expanded.
[Host Reward: Multi-Realm Cultivation Level 4 – Dimensional Energy Mastery and Strategic Awareness Enhanced.]
Meanwhile, Kaelen Dravos on Earth continued plotting.
"Kael is beyond our reach now," he admitted reluctantly. "Interstellar expansion, multi-dimensional cultivation… he's becoming a god in the making."
His advisor warned, "Sir, attempting a strike now would be catastrophic. We need to reconsider our approach."
Dravos' gaze hardened. "Then we wait. We will find his weakness. And when we do… we will claim his power for ourselves."
Back in the Proxima system, Arion began construction of the first interstellar production hub. Using alien and human blueprints, he established factories capable of producing interstellar ships, energy cores, and cultivation devices on a massive scale. Colonists and drones worked in harmony, overseen by the OmniTech Ascension System.
[System Advisory: Production Efficiency – 86%. Recommended Task: Integrate Multi-Dimensional Crafting Techniques.]
Arion personally calibrated the system to optimize production, linking alien energy cores with human nanofabricators. Energy flowed like a river, powering construction, defense, and cultivation simultaneously.
[Host Reward: Interstellar Manufacturing Mastery – Efficiency +53%. Multi-Dimensional Crafting Techniques Integrated.]
At the same time, sensors detected a minor fleet from the Proxima civilization approaching with a formal envoy. Arion met them personally aboard the flagship "Eclipse Dawn".
The aliens were tall, crystalline in structure, and radiated a faint blue energy. Their leader's voice resonated directly in Arion's mind:
"Arion Kael, we have observed your integration of technology and cultivation. Your potential is unique. We offer guidance, not conflict, if you prove your wisdom and restraint."
Arion inclined his head. "Then teach us. Share knowledge. Humanity seeks growth, not destruction… unless provoked."
The aliens pulsed in acknowledgment, offering further technological schematics and cultivation techniques.
