The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Starship Voyage.

This starship was specifically sent by the Martial Arts Series to receive them; the only passengers were Qin Jin and Bai Huaiyu. In the starship’s hall, a freshly brewed cup of tea was placed in front of Qin Jin, who quietly savored it.

Opposite.

Bai Huaiyu sat in her seat, watching the rapidly changing scenery outside through the porthole. After entering the Star Sea, she withdrew her gaze, her face still lingering with a look of introspection.

Seeing this, Qin Jin spoke: “How have you found your time in my hometown?”

“Very nice.”

Bai Huaiyu smiled, speaking softly: “The construction never stops, so full of life.”

She looked at Qin Jin: “I imagine that each time you return to your hometown, there will be earth-shaking changes here, and every time there will be novel places appearing.”

The two shared a smile.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Jin said: “There’s a question I’m somewhat curious about.”

“Ask away.”

Qin Jin pondered for a moment and sincerely said: “Evolution and development are goals constantly pursued by civilizations.”

“Individual evolution, the development of civilization technology, keeps an interstellar civilization always vibrant. One day, when these aspects no longer change, when there is no direction for improvement, the vitality of the civilization will also diminish. Over time, perhaps… a civilization will fall into chaos, decline from its peak, until it completely perishes.”

“Bai Huaiyu, according to what you’ve said, the Crosser Civilization you come from has experienced extremely long periods of time, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations, you must have seen similar scenarios.”

“So…”

“How did the Crosser Civilization reverse all this?”

He gazed into her eyes: “I am very curious how the Crosser Civilization, existing for such an extended time, has halted in development, even rotted according to your words, yet continues to this day. How has it achieved this?”

At this point, Qin Jin added: “If this question involves any secrets, you can tell me directly, you don’t need to answer.”

“This is not considered a secret.”

Bai Huaiyu shook her head, speaking calmly: “Within the Starfire Federation, the relevant personnel responsible for contacting us all know of this matter, and we have never concealed it.”

“Your position in the Federation is much higher than I imagined, so you can fully be aware of it.”

She paused slightly, speaking solemnly: “Your point is correct, conventional civilizations are indeed like this. After losing the direction of evolutionary improvement, it often marks the start of their decline.”

“However, do not be misled by the four words [Crosser Civilization], do not be confused by this name.”

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, lost in thought.

“There exist different civilizations within the Star Sea, with systems and environments all different. Your Starfire Federation, within the Star Sea, is referred to as the Starfire Civilization.”

“Crosser Civilization is a name passed down from long, long ago, and cannot represent our current situation.”

Her voice was prolonged, standing from her seat, gazing out of the porthole at the Thunder Star, which was becoming distant: “I have read through the preserved records, from a time long ago, the Crosser Civilization was extremely prosperous, ruling over regions and developing in various aspects, perhaps surpassing your Starfire Federation.”

However…

“Peak is the beginning of demise, at that time the Crosser Civilization already showed signs, our leader, known as the Grand Governor, during that period, made a decision.”

“Our Crosser Civilization chose to become an active part of this Endless Star Sea.”

“Part of the Star Sea?”

Qin Jin stood up, a wave crossing through his eyes.

“That’s right.”

Bai Huaiyu’s voice lingered: “You can regard it as an ancient pact with the Endless Star Sea. As a result, the Crosser Civilization has endured till now, continuously decaying, but thus has no threat of destruction, secluded in a corner of the Star Sea, becoming what I initially mentioned to you as the Observer Civilization.”

“Part of the Endless Star Sea.”

Qin Jin softly repeated, a sense of sudden clarity within his heart.

The land from which the other party originated, continues under the name left from long ago, but fundamentally can no longer be considered a Star Sea Civilization.

Amid the extraordinary Cosmic Star Sea, countless secrets lie hidden.

Analyzing through the other’s explanation, perhaps the current Crosser Civilization is closer to a phenomenon within the Star Sea.

“I see.”

Seeing Qin Jin reveal a look of sudden realization, Bai Huaiyu smiled slightly: “Qin Jin, over this long span of ages, we have witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations.”

“I have already made a request to serve as the Civilization Observer stationed at the Starfire Federation by the Crosser Civilization, to personally observe the Federation’s future development, to observe all that you will experience in the future.”

“I am also somewhat curious.”

Their relationship was not bad, she spoke frankly: “Currently, the Starfire Federation is still in a period of rapid development, everything inside is full of vigor, but in the future when time slows down, even comes to a standstill, what choice will the Starfire Federation make.”

Upon hearing this.

Qin Jin smiled peacefully: “All you speak of will probably be in many years to come.”

“Indeed.”

Bai Huaiyu nodded: “Qin Jin, with your talent in Martial Arts, you will also have a long life in the future, perhaps by then you will be a prominent figure in the Starfire Federation, and you will lead the decisions regarding the future of civilization.”

“Perhaps the time will be even more distant, decisions will be made by the descendants of your generation.”

“I am very much looking forward to witnessing this.”

Qin Jin’s gaze was serene.

For the Starfire Federation, that is a scene to be faced after many long years, the ultimate problem every civilization will encounter.

However…

Qin Jin couldn’t help but contemplate more deeply.
