races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every descent event constitutes a major challenge for the Earth Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process of interfacing with alien races, conflicts and contradictions easily erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, during the last descent event, just as the Moon Eclipse Clan dispatched spiritual communication robots to make contact, they were met head-on by a fierce offensive from a mysterious faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most typical case belongs to the descent event of the Rock Shell Clan two hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after completing temporary registration, this race demanded exclusive mining rights to the Pacific seabed mineral veins and even threatened to levy tolls on other races for underwater passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the negotiation table, their clan leader remained uncompromising, declaring they would rather go to war than accept the small plot of land allocated to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rock Shell clan leader's stubbornness only yielded to serious negotiations after the Moon Eclipse Clan mobilized their orbital cannon arrays and fired a test round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the even more absurd descent event of the Symbiotic Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately upon obtaining temporary status, this race demanded permission to parasitize other races, euphemistically calling it \"promoting cultural fusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the essence of this parasitism was simply clinging to a host to absorb nutrients; how could the various races of the Earth Alliance possibly agree to that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the issue was resolved through a show of military force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the Sky Feather Clan from years past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This race preferred dwelling in the sky; immediately after obtaining temporary resident status, they launched a plan to construct floating islands, claiming they had no intention of competing with surface races for living space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly a good plan, it actually harbored various hidden dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the vast airspace occupied by the floating islands would interfere with aerial navigation for other races; second, it would infringe upon the sunlight rights of major cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a floating island drifted to a halt above a city, the city below would Iron Face a prolonged night, and satellite signal reception would also be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, under military deterrence, the Sky Feather Clan abandoned this plan, switching to the current arrangement of floating islands fixed over the seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many modern races call themselves \"Earthlings,\" yet when their ancestors first descended, every single one arrived with their own agendas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The history textbooks of the various races beautify that crisis-ridden era as \"cultural fusion,\" deliberately downplaying the smoke of gunpowder that initially filled the negotiation tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negotiations between races are forever built upon military strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely the formidable military power displayed by the Moon Eclipse Clan that transformed the ambitions of these conquerors into signatures on the Earth Alliance Charter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were still the races easier to communicate with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there had been unpleasantness in the past, in modern times with shared cultures, many problems are no longer problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new generations of various races may trade verbal jabs online, but deep down, they all believe that when an invasion descends, the Earth Alliance should unite against the external threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most outrageous are those races that offer no communication whatsoever, initiating war the moment they descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the Earth Alliance's external wars, ordinary people have long lost any meaningful role in fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet every outbreak of war signifies widespread suffering and devastation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still concern themselves with the development of descent events, hoping this will be another peaceful interface rather than a civilization war shrouded in the smoke of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horrific scenes of the Mechanical War from years past remain vivid in memory, and the scourge of genetic diseases still lingers in the present day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What none of the members of the various races expected, however, was that the faction descending this time, the \"Fate Clan (Dragon Sparrow Clan),\" would be extremely cooperative with the Earth Alliance's contact and arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the descent arrived, the high-ranking officials of the various races within the Earth Alliance were incredibly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One important reference indicator for judging the strength of a race is the technology and intensity of their spatial channel generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the \"Descending Faction Threat Report\" issued prior to contact, the Fate Clan was listed as S-Class, representing the highest level of descent threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the various races, their potential for war even surpassed that of the mysterious faction which had previously descended over the Atlantic Ocean, conducted a brief probing of military capabilities, and then swiftly departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the descent, a tense atmosphere permeated the hearts of the high command of all races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They feared that a new round of descent war was about to begin, plunging Earth once again into the turmoil of conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reality was completely opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could be confirmed was that the Fate Clan who descended possessed immense strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing any device, they could easily imprint their thoughts onto the minds of all living beings in Trading City in the form of a spiritual network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This capability had already exceeded the level estimated by the Earth Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet what they expressed was a desire for peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, the various races of the Earth Alliance did not relax their vigilance and dispatched representatives to attempt contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they received was the other party's clear statement that they would commit no offensive acts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during the conversation, they gifted the Earth Alliance a grand resource package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of the resources inside far surpassed Earth's standards, leaving the representatives of the various races speechless with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The series of actions by the Fate Clan only made the various races of the Earth Alliance more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party arrived carrying resources and claimed to be a refugee faction, yet their performance in every aspect contradicted their claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To claim they were a plundering faction and that their initial contact was merely a disguise also did not make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every portion of resources bestowed by the other party was genuine, of a quality fundamentally unfindable on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the other party had clearly come with goodwill, the Earth Alliance also demonstrated sufficient sincerity and immediately initiated the interface arrangement process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing identity registration, Brother Ming Hou and his clansmen, having undergone a series of inspections and cultural compatibility tests, were finally settled in an undeveloped area on the edge of the Siberian wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The permafrost here still retained high concentrations of pollution and had not been thoroughly purified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only human official of the Human Federation with the authority to allocate land within the Earth Alliance designated this plot as their temporary residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the conditions were clear: there were no existing cities here, no complete facilities, and not even the basic energy transmission network had been laid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could build their own homeland here, but all problems would need to be solved by themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or they could wait for the Moon Eclipse Clan's assistance project to launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Brother Ming Hou stood upon the barren permafrost, his silver-white robes fluttering slightly in the cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around; in the distance lay continuous snow-capped mountains, while nearby were exposed permafrost and sparse mutated coniferous forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing his perception, he could detect radiation contamination within the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaining the recognition of the Earth Alliance and obtaining the opportunity to join the Alliance was already the best possible start imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they only needed to await the Moon Eclipse Clan's judgment to obtain resident status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only hoped this process could be faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand, he lightly tapped the void; power of fate spread outward from within his body like ripples, washing over the permafrost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the scouring of this rule-based power, pollutants decomposed instantly, and the readings on nearby radiation detectors immediately dropped to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The permafrost churned and softened amidst silver light, transforming into a flat foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, thirty thousand clansmen also acted; space folded like a mirror, and spiritual materials carried with them poured out from spatial items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, buildings grew on their own like living creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver-white spiritual metal aggregated in the air, rising from the ground and weaving into a dome structure overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fate Tower rose in the central position, its spire condensing a crystal capable of releasing a barrier encompassing the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from high above, energy meridians expanded outward from the Fate Tower like a spiderweb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, a micro-city capable of accommodating thirty thousand people stood tall upon the permafrost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-white architectural cluster formed the star-orbit array unique to the Fate Clan, while the observation matrix of the central Fate Tower rotated slowly, its perception range expanding rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of the \"privacy protection\" required by the Earth Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Brother Ming Hou restrained the further expansion of his perception range, locking it onto the land beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to expand it to cover the entire Earth, it would clearly arouse unnecessary suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, on the city's perimeter, energy barriers rose from the ground, isolating the extreme cold and pollutants from Earth's environment, forming an independent space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, after seeing the real-time satellite monitoring footage, the supervisor from the Earth Alliance Security Center immediately widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of outsiders calling themselves \"refugees\" had completed the construction of a small city in the time it took to brew a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene also left the vast number of netizens watching the monitoring feed with their jaws dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Fate Clan had not yet officially joined the Earth Alliance, according to the \"New Descended Race Observation Regulations,\" all their activities would be publicly monitored by the various races globally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Alliance had opened a dedicated \"New Race Observation\" channel on the Star Net platform, allowing any citizen to view high-definition satellite footage in real time after identity verification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the number of online viewers on the channel was skyrocketing at a rate of over ten thousand per second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, are you really a refugee faction? You must be immortals descending to earth; a whole city was completed just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm stunned; building a city in ten minutes? The Moon Eclipse Clan's engineering team should come out and get beaten; look at the level of these stinking outsiders, you guys need to improve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they really refugees? I seriously suspect they are here to snatch our Monster World qualifications; I suggest not issuing identity qualifications. With these thirty thousand outsiders joining, the possibility of me grabbing a player qualification is diluted again; it feels terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be funny, upstairs; they don't even know what the Monster World is, let alone snatch qualifications. This generation of theirs hasn't even integrated into the Earth Alliance yet; they might not be interested in virtual games at all. I bet even if beings from the Upper Realm gave them Monster World qualifications for free, they wouldn't take them; they would even suspect virtual games carry potential risks and might involve mental control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Major social platforms across the globe instantly exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic of the Fate Clan building a city in ten minutes shot to the top of the trending searches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All races were marveling that the race descending this time might be a powerful faction capable of rivaling the Moon Eclipse Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this faction was not an invading force, demonstrating absolute sincerity from the very beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire process after descending, they cooperated with the Earth Alliance's investigations without any extreme behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made the members of the Earth Alliance realize that the Alliance would soon gain a powerful new member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Brother Ming Hou's plan was not yet finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His core purpose in choosing to come to Earth was for player qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, for a newly descended race wishing to integrate into the Earth Alliance, it takes six months to a year of assessment and waiting for clansmen to obtain formal status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this process was too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could sense the despair within its clansmen's hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This desolate minor world was too barren for clansmen accustomed to high-energy worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pollutants permeating the air had already caused slight discomfort to their senses, while the thin Qi concentration offered no room for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only create an isolation zone and operate within a predetermined small area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it had not yet caused substantial effects on the clansmen's constitutions, long-term life in such an environment would lead to a gradual degeneration of their life forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Ming Hou realized that to help his clansmen shake off this discomfort and unease as soon as possible, he must accelerate the process of obtaining qualification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deep consideration, he decided to proactively demonstrate sincerity to the Earth Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, by initiating cooperation through sharing resources and technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eclipse Clan's shuttle vessel slowly descended onto an open ground within Fate City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hatch opened, a young figure dressed in the Eclipse Clan's \"Envoy\" attire stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Ming Hou personally stepped forward to welcome them, a gesture that left the clansmen behind him utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, this Eclipse Clan envoy, with such faint life fluctuations, was far inferior to even an ordinary warrior of the Fate Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Brother Ming Hou understood just how terrifying the power behind the Eclipse Clan truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he sought was not the Eclipse Clan's approval, but the approval of the one standing behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his clansmen, the Eclipse Clan appeared very weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the eyes of the High-Dimensional God, there was essentially no difference between the Eclipse Clan and his own Fate Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly stronger ant is still an ant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed the channel provided by the Eclipse Clan to help him pass the audit as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange with the envoy, he extended his hand to offer a translucent data slate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the 'New Member Access Regulations,' please truthfully fill out this background investigation questionnaire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envoy communicated thoughts directly into his mind via spiritual exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Ming Hou did not resist the infiltration of spiritual power; he nodded and accepted the data slate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could fully understand Earth script, he still chose to pick up the spiritual exchange device connected to the data slate, attached it to his temple, and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then began filling in the content using spiritual imprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Native world coordinates, recorded length of civilization history, core combat power development system, explanation of mastered cross-spatial dimension technologies, current racial population scale, presence of life pollution (energy pollution), type of social structure, retention of military armaments, primary purpose for joining the alliance, ability to accept the 'Civilization Coexistence Convention'...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, there was also a special declaration section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required a detailed explanation of all spatial activities initiated within the last three standard years (including but not limited to exploration, colonization, and warfare).\u003C\u002Fp>",2500,"2026-06-19T09:20:37.851Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8c80471ede9948084666b235f4c56cb5e3cab6a0a0d23729f084b8c9a1444450","monsters-are-coming-chapter-348","monsters-are-coming-chapter-346",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
