During the Forward Celebration, the people who ca from various parts of the Forward Cosmic Domain made up the majority of the participants, but not all of them.
The other half ca from the Alliance.
From various parts of the Alliance, many officials arrived at Ancache VIII.
They were also the local dignitaries from different parts of the Forward Cosmic Domain, key figures to establish connections with.
Although Gu Hang is the leader of everyone, he is far away and maintains relations with everyone, yet it’s actually quite challenging to forge a close connection with anyone.
However, these officials from the Alliance are different.
They are the ones truly being positioned as powerful officials in the Forward Cosmic Domain.
The local elites’ sentints towards these Alliance arrivals are difficult to decipher.
In general, they are not particularly welcod.
After all, who would willingly welco soone from the Alliance to their side, or even above them, to share power when they are comfortably and securely ruling as local emperors?
Nevertheless, regardless of their feelings, the entire Forward Cosmic Domain has already fallen completely under the control of the Alliance following the end of the Omgeria War.
The entire cosmos domain consists of eight star domains in total. One of them, Omgeria, was taken by the Alliance through a fierce war—there are hardly any survivors in the entire star domain.
Five star domains surrounding Omgeria suffered from the ravages of the Green Skins and the Insect Race; without the Alliance solving the issues, they would have faced extinction.
This makes up six star domains. As for the remaining two, although the threat from Omgeria was not direct to them, they too were aware of the severity of the Omgeria conflict. The Alliance’s victory not only relieved their worries but also solidified the Alliance’s legitimacy among them.
Legitimacy might seem abstract, but at this mont, it shows itself in a very tangible way.
The Alliance boasts Gu Hang, who holds the highest nominal position in the Dark Side of the Empire; the Alliance is the entire Dark Side of the Empire’s sole human force that proclaims to the universe its mission to rescue all lost Empire Worlds and initiates the Dark Side Expedition.
These alone are already sufficient. To many worlds struggling in darkness, the Alliance’s Dark Side Expedition is almost their only beacon of hope.
Moreover, the victory in warfare is even more convincing.
Starting from the Spiderweb Domain and the Eastern Cosmos Domain, the Alliance diligently conquered one world after another, achieving what they have today over several decades, capturing five or six cosmic domains.
This duration, this scale, and these achievents could be compared to the Human Empire’s most spectacular expeditions of the previous one or two centuries, such as the Sun Expedition led by the Sun Lord, and might even have more significant aning.
After all, in history, many critiqued the Sun Expedition as a laborious campaign, an exercise in grandiosity that drained the empire’s foundations in pursuit of expansion for re vanity, leading to regions that continually required investnt and beca bleeding resources.
In contrast, the Dark Side Expedition led by Gu Hang and the Alliance genuinely restored humanity’s holand, saving countless citizens of the Human Empire from darkness.
This makes the significance fundantally different.
What’s more, with regards to the Forward Cosmic Domain, they were undoubtedly liberated from a massive bomb that would’ve obliterated them upon exploding.
Who could resist when these circumstances accumulate?
Who could say no to the Alliance?
No one.
The local nobility eagerly rush over, even though rumors over the past few years have inford them that the Alliance would directly govern all regions, forming new cosmic domains, star domains, star sectors, and planetary governnts. They must accept it.
They have to accept it from the standpoint of legitimacy, respect for the Alliance’s military strength only underscores this necessity.
Their task is to strive for their interests within the grand frawork set by the Alliance, under the premise of accepting all these changes.
The Alliance officials who are about to be appointed are their primary targets for interaction.
Their foremost goal is to find ways to preserve as much of their power as possible during the forthcoming major transformations.
However, they quickly discover that the Alliance is not an entity that only takes without giving, or only plunders without building.
The Alliance is not like the Central Empire.
As long as they steadily position themselves as part of the Alliance, they can find their place within this larger structure.
The Alliance hasn’t just sent officials to govern and levy taxes from them; it has also brought developnt opportunities as part of the Alliance family.
After the cataclysm, the previously chaotic and disrupted interstellar travel and communications beca smooth again after Thunder Torch Towers were constructed. They were astonished to find that if they followed the Alliance’s blueprint, their future market would not just be limited to their ’ho,’ but extend eastward and northward, over tens of thousands of expansive Alliance worlds.
Furthermore, their own developnt also gained substantial benefits from the extensive comrcial activities and the closer economic and political connections.
The first to rejoice were the trade caravans of the Empire Comrce Guild.
While they had to conform to the Alliance’s universal regulations, their market scope undeniably expanded significantly.
Next was the power of the Sect of chanics. Under the Alliance’s control, nurous Founding Worlds had erged, all coordinated by the Alliance’s chanical Teaching Managent Association. Within this frawork, they, of course, no longer held the significance they once did within the Empire as one head of the ’Double-headed Eagle.’ The entire Alliance had only one head, Gu Hang.
However, tighter technological exchanges and access to many confidential projects developed by the most core groups of the Mingyang Sect, the Alfonso Sect, and the Alliance’s Central Research Institute offered great allure.
This open, non-antagonistic format of technological exchange, unlike the previous scenario where each Founding World guarded against each other, allows everyone to benefit.
In addition to technology, the ’religious’ aspect of the Sect of chanics is also undergoing so changes.
They still believe in the God of All Machines and regard the Divine Emperor as another aspect of the God of All Machines seen from the Human Empire’s perspective. Yet, if the Alliance’s New National Church gradually promotes Gu Hang as a Saint, or even above that, as an emissary of the Divine Emperor on Earth, they start to form an embryonic belief in Gu Hang as well.
They believe that soone who can provide nurous confidential technologies and assist all mbers of the Sect of chanics in exploring the technologies of the past Golden Age embodies, in so sense, a manifestation of the God of All Machines.
Aside from these two groups, the local army and navy, already under the command of the Alliance Expeditionary Army Command, are now more seamlessly restructured.
Local governnts, previously cooperative under the coordination of the Command Center, have been supplying resources to the warfront and managing production. Now they can smoothly transition to the Alliance-style new governnt model.
Governnt officials from various factions can either retain their original positions or be transferred to other planets and sectors.
Many insightful individuals can see through this as a thod of decentralization, spreading them thin across regions. However, this opportunity for real advancent and prosperity is irresistible.
Not to ntion, the Alliance has painted a grand vision.
