How high is the highest level, really?
Actually, many people find it hard to imagine.
Because it has never appeared.
So, it's impossible for people to think higher.
If the highest level truly controlled everything, they wouldn't be able to understand the meaning of their own existence.
An absolute authority, with absolute control over the entire Federation, could completely do without them.
But the fact is, they exist.
To resolve this contradiction, the only thing they could think of was that the uppermost level or highest level, whatever it's called, that level of people had no great power and needed to use them to truly rule the entire Civilization Federation.
If not for this thought, would the resistors still have a reason to exist?
But it seems they were wrong, terribly wrong!
"You say, is this real? Or, from beginning to end, was the so-called resistance just a game?"
Andrea asked Feide Huayin.
He couldn't help but think this way; all his past knowledge only allowed him to think this way.
Feide Huayin could only reply, "I don't know!"
"None of us know!"
"Just as that person said, only by truly mastering this power will we know how powerful it truly is."
That's why this happened.
Andrea suddenly understood.
"That's right, next, we must master this power."
He was instantly shaken again.
What immense power this was; calling it divine power wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Just like a deity controlling the entire world.
In fact, the authority they were about to gain would probably be even more terrifying than that of so-called deities.
How many beings can a deity govern?
The entire Federation has hundreds of billions of people!
What a terrifying number this is.
Even if each person were as small as a grain of sand, they would be enough to cover a beach.
"Don't think of this matter so beautifully; even with the Highest Council, we must know that these powers are never ours."
Feide Huayin was still very rational.
They are the recipients of power, not the creators of power.
Only by truly becoming the creators of power, they might truly gain a seat in the Highest Council.
But to talk about creation again on the scale of such a vast Civilization, how difficult is that? Is it even something human power can achieve?
"Even so, it should be much greater power than before, at least not so much to be wary of."
Previously, if Andrea made any decision and handed it to Feide Huayin, Feide Huayin would still have to obey the instructions of the uppermost level before finally deciding whether to do it or not.
If not to do it, it would be directly rejected, with no room for negotiation.
But now, as a member of the Highest Council, he has gained the power to discuss.
Andrea was very happy; if there was a first concession, there would inevitably be a second, and he could strive for greater power.
Feide Huayin, who had already understood some information about the uppermost level, didn't think this way, but he also didn't tell Andrea his true thoughts.
Half a month passed like this.
Yan Xia sent out the first invitation to the Highest Council meeting.
The invited were precisely the five most powerful people on the surface of the Federation.
This invitation was public.
And it was the first formal public announcement.
It can be said to have caused an uproar.
First Guangdun City, then the surrounding Stellar Systems, Star Regions, and then the entire Federation.
"Through the Wormhole Affairs Office, even at the furthest border of the Federation, it will only take 3 years to see the information from this meeting."
Before appearing, behind the council, Yan Xia met Feide Huayin and others.
He looked at ease, while the other five were somewhat stiff, despite having appeared in public countless times.
This time was indeed very different; none of them knew how much change this would bring to the entire Civilization Federation.
"The news can reach the border in 3 years; technology has indeed advanced!"
Feide Huayin thought of his childhood.
At that time, the Wormhole Affairs Office had not yet been established.
He wanted to send a message back then, only a few dozen light-years away, and it still took several years to receive a reply.
When he became an official, he enjoyed the convenience, and it became a matter of a few months to receive information.
When he became a high-ranking official, it often still took twenty to thirty days.
It's not that the speed of information transmission was slow, but rather that a Stellar System only had a few Quanta Communication devices, and everyone wanted to transmit information, so you had to wait.
Although compared to the Quanta Communication devices on a warship, which could receive a maximum of 10 messages simultaneously, the Quanta Communication devices set up in Star Cities definitely had stronger communication capabilities.
But their strength was limited, and compared to the massive information throughput of a Star City and a Stellar System, even if each device processed 10,000 messages per second, processing 864 million messages a day, it was still very, very little.
There were only a few for civilian use and only dozens for official use.
Even with further optimization, Quanta Communication devices were still 'large items,' consuming more energy than some Hosts.
Actually, there isn't much change now.
It's just that the Wormhole Affairs Office has set up a few dedicated communication lines.
And it's very troublesome.
Because tachyons are things of a higher dimension, how could they pass through a Three-Dimensional wormhole?
So, a Quanta Communication device was placed at both the entrance and exit of the wormhole.
Communication from Stellar System A reaches the wormhole entrance, the wormhole entrance receives the information and directly loads it into a spaceship, the spaceship crosses the wormhole to the exit, the Quanta Communication device at the exit records it and then sends it to the destination.
A combination of primitive and high-tech.
Including those people far away who are seeing the current meeting content, they don't know how many spaceships transported that information.
"Let's go, many people are waiting for us!"
Yan Xia walked directly into the meeting room.
At this moment, many reporters were already waiting in the meeting room, and flying cameras almost completely enveloped them.
Although it was Yan Xia's first time experiencing such a scene, he was very calm.
This was probably due to his confidence.
The first to speak was Feide Huayin, the Federation General Director.
He officially announced the reform of the Federation system, and then was asked by various reporters why the reform was happening.
In fact, both the questions and answers were pre-arranged, trying to ensure no mistakes were made.
Yan Xia was the last to be asked.
However, he now had an alias, Li Anxing.
"Mr. Li Anxing, we have never seen you appear in public before. Although your previous position was also the Minister of Federation Security, it was only a second-tier position after all. We wonder why you are able to become a member of the Highest Council?"
The question was very direct, without any pretense.
In fact, the Federation has always been like this; such statements would not be overly concealed.
Of course, the most clever concealment is not to answer irrelevantly, but to make the questioner only ask questions that can be answered.
Then everyone will think you are open and honest, without any falsehood.
If it were a country or Civilization on a Star, doing this would be problematic because it's too small; everyone understands all the problems of the entire country and Civilization, so everyone would realize you are avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.
But the Federation is too large; the problems in each place are vastly different. Because of this, everyone knows you certainly won't talk about the affairs of just one Stellar System, so they are not so harsh on the words of the big figures above.
Sometimes, even a fabricated lie will be taken as truth.
Too few people can verify it!
For example, there was once an official who directly fabricated a Stellar System and the achievements he made in that Stellar System.
Let alone ordinary people, even most officials in the bureaucracy couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood.
It was Ella who thought he was going too far; fabricating one or two was fine, but directly fabricating dozens and dozens was too outrageous, so she sent someone to report him directly.
Even so, it still took several years to investigate and confirm that he had indeed fabricated it.
"The Security Department existed only as a hidden department in the past because our functions were not so visual, but rather targeted at the gradually emerging network-level virus attacks against the Federation and the surrounding Star Countries."
"In just the last year, our Security Department has defended against over 298.73 quadrillion network attacks. This achievement is also thanks to the recognition of my other colleagues, allowing me to step forward in the council to serve the citizens."
The Federation is actually also leaning towards democracy.
Whether it's political Claim or anything else.
The actual situation is also leaning towards democracy, but because it is too vast, nothing can truly lean towards anything; it can only be said that some places are indeed democratic, some places lean towards business aristocrats, and some places lean towards power.
Yan Xia arranged such an identity for himself also to achieve rationality.
Neither abrupt nor mediocre.
Someone hidden behind the scenes is the easiest to promote, somewhat like a hero standing in the shadows. Such a persona is actually more likely to be liked compared to absolute justice or absolute evil.
After the introductions, everyone sat together and began discussing some grand and empty topics, to generate buzz throughout the Federation.
The true content, of course, would only begin to be discussed after all the cameras had withdrawn.
