Yan Xia's primary focus was still on Green Hell.

He began his research the moment Green Hell was discovered to be an egg.

Even more alarming recently, a team from the Insectoid Civilization brought news that an identical green sphere was found 582 light-years from the Federal Border.

Clearly, that Civilization's invasion was not limited to Human Civilization, but more likely encompassed the entire Milky Way.

When Ella saw Yan Xia staring blankly at a star map, she knew what he was thinking.

“The patterns of the Dimension Channel come from the direction the original architects were moving in, but these eggs might have been scattered randomly, so the patterns aren’t as strong.”

Yan Xia was indeed looking for patterns, trying to deduce the locations of other eggs from two known points.

But obviously, this was very difficult.

“If we find a third one, we’ll probably know.”

“We’ve already put out bounties to the Insectoid Civilization and the Explorer, but it’s been nearly 100 years, and there’s still no news.”

Understanding this was entirely to confirm that this Civilization wasn’t targeting Human Civilization; that way, they could make many preparations, and even contact this Civilization later.

When weak, Civilizations were full of animosity towards each other.

But when strong, especially in this region of the Milky Way where strength had its limits, as a member of the second-tier Civilizations below the top-tier ones, Human Civilization had the power to make other Civilizations set aside their prejudices.

Civilizations were bound to be rivals and enemies, because the beings of different Civilizations simply could not understand each other.

This rule was real, but rules were not truths, and did not mean they couldn't change.

“From another perspective, isn’t no news the best news?”

“At least we only need to face two eggs.”

Ella felt that Yan Xia was a bit tense about this matter.

Not only was it a biological problem, but also because of the unknown nature of this thing.

“Green Hell is almost ready now; I think we should start acting as soon as possible, as no one knows the incubation time or trigger for those things.”

The scholars had already arrived there, but Ella had been holding back, wanting to be fully prepared before starting.

Yan Xia, however, was already getting impatient.

In fact, the experimental environment there was already set up; what needed to be resolved now was the military issue, in case of any unexpected events that needed to be countered.

However, Yan Xia felt that if that thing truly harbored an unexpected event, the hastily built fortress would certainly not be able to stop it.

So, it was better to start now and save decades of time.

“Alright, but then you’ll have to bring your clone back; it still retains some new memories that you haven’t integrated yet.”

Ella’s construction of the fortress wasn't actually for the scholars and the army, but because Yan Xia had a clone nearby, and he wanted that clone to research Green Hell on his behalf.

Ella had always been against it, but Yan Xia was stubborn in this regard, so Ella settled for the next best thing and began building defensive facilities.

Every Yan Xia could be the fundamental Yan Xia, and Ella didn’t want his negligence to lead to that Yan Xia’s death.

“There’s no need to be so cautious!”

Yan Xia frowned and refused.

“Then I won’t be able to start the research now.”

Ella was very firm on this.

Yan Xia naturally couldn't win against Ella, who wouldn't budge, and eventually compromised.

“Alright, alright, send a new consciousness body over, no need for a clone.”

A consciousness body was similar to Jin Farui and the others.

Jin Farui appeared to be a spy for the Flying Civilization, but in reality, his main consciousness was still in the Federation, and this was still the case now.

Destiny Ring Star didn't mind supporting a few more Human.

However, the possibility of Jin Farui becoming a Qiluo Clan member was gone.

But all three parties were happy with this: the Flying Civilization wanted Human for social research, Jin Farui himself didn't want to become a Qiluo Clan member, and Ella could still get some news from the Flying Civilization and Destiny Ring Star through Jin Farui.

“This is for the best.”

“The danger level in Green Hell is too high; just send ordinary people!”

Ella treated Yan Xia differently from any other Human.

In her eyes, those Human were still just consumables.

Even though Ju Yintuo and Luo Yanchen had changed some of her thoughts before, this remained true.

Especially Soldiers and ordinary citizens who were not of such high class.

“Sigh, you really need to change that mindset. Although our Federation doesn’t advocate for universal equality, ordinary people are by no means that lowly.”

The ideology of the rentier class was not entirely without merit; however, Yan Xia hoped Ella’s thoughts would align more closely with his own.

Actually, in this era, Yan Xia’s ideas were considered strange.

Even awkward.

If one truly believed that everyone’s value was nearly equal, then why, when crisis struck, did they still choose to sacrifice a portion of the people?

In Ella’s eyes, Yan Xia was such a contradiction.

She would certainly lean towards Yan Xia, but in areas where Yan Xia was contradictory, she still followed her own decisions.

Based on Ella’s past experience, dwelling on this issue was fruitless.

She promptly changed the subject.

“Yan Xia, I have completed the revisions to your new plan, and it is about to be implemented.”

“But are you truly sure you want to execute these?”

“Although the Supreme Royal Court plan can bring you into the sight of some people, calculations show an 82.19% chance of failure, leading to severe consequences.”

The Supreme Royal Court plan was a plan Yan Xia had only conceived in the last 200 years.

He couldn't always remain hidden.

Or rather, the highest echelons of the Federation couldn't always remain hidden.

Although many decisions could be issued through Ella.

Ordinary citizens wouldn't even notice the existence of a highest echelon in the Federation.

But just like the current conflicts among the Federation's high-ranking officials, Makexin and other top-tier individuals vaguely knew of the highest echelon's existence.

Because of the new system established during the All-Out War era, if the “highest echelon” continued to hide behind the scenes, it might still cause high-ranking Federation officials to harbor doubts, leading to hesitation in many matters.

After all, many of the Federation’s current decisions came from Ella.

Someone who only follows orders will not be perfect.

They will only achieve a 60% score, leaving no room for criticism, but also failing to be outstanding.

However, if the highest echelon revealed itself and allowed high-ranking Federation officials to interact with it and become decision-makers, it could increase their motivation.

The Supreme Royal Court was such an existence.

However, the Supreme Royal Court would certainly evolve into a rentier class, rapidly expanding corruption through those who joined it.

This was its drawback.

And all of this required Ella to provide a safety net.

Given the current scale of the Federation, Ella felt that even she might not be able to achieve this.

It wasn't that she lacked the ability, but it was difficult to do so without compromising the stability of the Civilization Federation.

It's like killing people is simple; even if they hide in a city, one nuclear bomb will kill everyone.

But to kill people while not harming others or destroying public assets like buildings, that's difficult.

The Supreme Royal Court would certainly become the heart of the Federation later, and each of its members would be a blood vessel extending from the heart; if not handled properly, it would cause vascular blockage, myocardial infarction, and the entire Civilization Federation would suffer greatly.

“I understand that.”

“But we can’t stop eating for fear of choking.”

“Now is the best time to do this.”

“Any hesitation and risk should give way to the Dimension War.”

“As long as it is beneficial for the Federation’s development and growth, especially rapid reform, then this matter can be done.”

Yan Xia had also thought about it for a long time.

Actually, he himself wanted to be a hands-off manager.

After all, as the leader of a Civilization, there were far too many things, so much so that his telekinetic power was already enough to process a hundred thousand pieces of information simultaneously, like a CPU with 100,000 cores and 100,000 channels.

But still, many things needed to be handed over to Ella to handle.

The content he truly dealt with was only a very small part, perhaps one in a hundred million? Or even more.

The formation of the Supreme Royal Court was mainly to alleviate Ella’s pressure, and his own pressure would also increase; his workload might be greater, and he would also need to consider the thoughts of others.

This was the most difficult part.

However, for the progress of the Civilization Federation and the entire Human Civilization, Yan Xia knew that he could not stop at this point.

Human Civilization was still too weak.

As the holder of this authority, he had to step forward and do many things.

The most important thing was to truly connect Ella, who was high above like a goddess, with the system of the Civilization Federation.
