Return to Zevia

Two days later, the Glass Ship mothership completed all its missions. The Star Sanctioner had been reclaimed by the positive Interstellar Alliance, and its defenses had been significantly strengthened to eliminate potential threats. The journey back to the Zevia planet in the Heirm System commenced.

As the colossal mothership initiated its engines, the surrounding space rapidly collapsed and twisted, and the mothership sped into the depths of the universe. The cosmic scenery outside the portholes unfolded like a scroll, once again presenting the boundless and vast magnificent spectacle to all on board.

The Milky Way shimmered with brilliant light as they traversed countless stars and dreamlike nebulae, like a silent yet soul-stirring cosmic symphony playing. The interwoven and blended lights radiated a powerful force that was both touching and incredibly tranquil.

The mothership, like a flash of lightning, zipped through the distant star systems light-years away. Rakien gazed intently at everything outside the window, his eyes filled with amazement and reverence. Faced with such a vast and mysterious universe, he felt so small, yet a strong desire to explore the unknown welled up inside him.

Before long, the Glass Ship slowly approached the awe-inspiring Zevia planet's giant星际 motherport. From a distance, the motherport resembled a massive and majestic beast, quietly suspended in the vast universe.

As the Glass Ship drew closer, the entirety of the motherport became increasingly clear. It was incredibly enormous, like a super fortress constructed from countless steel beams and thick metal plates. Each piece of metal gleamed with a cold, rigid luster, joined together to form an impregnable defense system.

The surface of the motherport was covered in a strange blue-purple glow, not from ordinary lighting but from an unknown energy field in motion. It seemed alive, snaking along the textures of the metal structure, sometimes converging into bright patches of light, other times dispersing into thin rays, adding an enigmatic aura to the entire motherport.

Standing on the deck of the Glass Ship, one could see the motherport's scale was beyond description. The enormous docking bays, towering communication towers, and intricate piping systems were all awe-inspiring. It was more than just a spaceship harbor; it was a self-sufficient metropolis with comprehensive living facilities and efficient operational mechanisms.

The motherport's exterior had a mirror-like smooth texture, almost perfectly reflecting the dazzling light emitted by the surrounding stars. These lights, refracted and scattered, interlaced to form a magnificent cosmic tapestry. From afar, the motherport looked like an enormous, radiant pearl embedded in the dark universe, exuding a captivating charm. It quietly guarded the outer space of Zevia, becoming one of the most conspicuous and unique landmarks in this vast cosmic region. Any spaceship or traveler passing by would be drawn to its magnificent spectacle and pause to admire it.

"This... is just too big," Little Karn looked up in awe, his eyes wide as he had never seen such a massive space structure.

"This motherport is not only a protective barrier for Zevia but also provides energy and maintenance for spaceships," Marlene explained as the massive Glass Ship docked, leading everyone onto a small landing craft.

The landing craft flew along the tracks inside the motherport, passing through vast areas. Countless aircraft crisscrossed in the air, and giant mechanical arms continuously maintained and repaired the spaceships. Huge energy conduits hung on both sides of the tracks, connecting to various complex devices; the motherport seemed like a massive living machine, always operating to ensure every docked spaceship functioned properly.

The landing craft smoothly arrived at the surface of Zevia and landed on a planetary apron. They disembarked and walked on a lush green meadow. Although this was Rakien and the two Karns' second time on this planet, the place they visited this time was different from the last.

Before them, warm sunlight bathed the entire prairie, the grass as soft as green velvet, with many Zevian residents meditating or playing contentedly on the grass. A few light aircraft flew in the sky, gently circling above the residents, seemingly integrated with the natural environment. The entire planet was filled with a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere.

"This is paradise," Old Karn sighed, his eyes revealing an unprecedented yearning.

Marlene smiled slightly, "The current generation of Zevia residents has achieved dual evolution of technology and spirit. Here, the concept of money has long disappeared. People no longer acquire what they need through buying and selling; all items are expressed through a platform similar to the internet, and goods are quickly delivered through an efficient molecular transmission technology. Everyone contributes to society with their conscience and talents. Since there is no dishonest behavior, concepts like police, law, walls, and barbed wire have become meaningless. There is no need for complex identity authentication like ID cards, passports, or work permits."

Listening to Marlene's narrative, Rakien was filled with shock. He had never thought that such a society existed where people could live freely without any coercive constraints, acting solely out of awareness and conscience.

As they continued walking on the grass, Marlene continued, "Zevia has no national borders or divisions; residents see each other as brothers and sisters, so there are no armies or wars. Differences in religious beliefs also disappear here; people are dedicated to doing good, pursuing self-transcendence, and enjoying healthy and joyful forms of entertainment. On this planet, everyone enjoys freedom without any coercive constraints. Residents believe that love is God, and love is the fundamental principle of the universe."

"I can hardly believe it..." Little Karn murmured softly, "Can such a beautiful life really be achieved?"

Marlene turned around, her eyes firm, "Of course, your planet—Okla people—can achieve such a beautiful life through effort. The key is to make everyone understand that love is God, and love is the basic law of the universe. As long as people recognize this, other problems will be solved."

"If we do not live by this principle, we cannot reach a higher level of civilization. The high development of technology without unity and friendship among people will ultimately lead to self-destruction, just like the two civilizations you saw in the starry river ruins! This is precisely the predicament Okla planet is facing now. The disaster of Okla planet stems from the insufficiency of civilization level, the reversal of human behavior, mutual killing, and profit-seeking, rather than caring for and loving each other. If the level of civilization were higher, such tragedies would not occur."

"A civilized planet must meet three basic conditions: first, everyone must recognize that love is God, love is the basic law of the universe, and the most important law in life; second, break national borders and form one big family; and finally, use love as the basic principle for all organizations in the world."

"Like a family, family members should share everything with love because love is the foundation of unity. All civilized worlds live this way."

"The basic laws of the universe restrict the massive intervention of developed planets in the evolutionary process of less developed worlds."

Old Karn frowned, "But getting everyone to understand mutual assistance and love, won't that be too difficult?"

Marlene nodded, "It must be done. The basic laws of the universe restrict the massive intervention of developed civilizations in the evolutionary process of less developed worlds. That's why you must learn and grow like students. No civilization can skip this process."
