The raven stood on Loren's shoulder, its little head leaning against Loren's face. Both man and bird were intently focused on reading the basic introduction about the Beastkin Star Domain within the thick book.

The Beastkin Star Domain, strictly speaking, is not actually a star domain.

Or rather, it only counted as a star domain in the distant past.

The current "Beastkin Star Domain" is just a single, unimaginably massive super-giant planet.

Because this planet's mass is so enormous, it has even collapsed the surrounding space. Drifting within the Star Realm, it constantly and ceaselessly absorbs and devours other smaller planets and various celestial bodies.

This has also led to the planet's volume increasing every single moment.

In ancient times, the Beastkin Star Domain indeed contained many habitable planets, resource planets, and abandoned planets.

But with the passage of time and the ever-increasing gravitational pull of this super-giant planet, the entire Beastkin Star Domain gradually became only this one super-giant planet.

And its size has grown to be comparable to that of an entire star domain!

It is nearly boundless and is still maintaining a high-speed rate of growth...

This has also resulted in many places on this super-giant planet named the "Beastkin Star Domain" experiencing large-scale natural disasters.

These are earth fissures and heavenly fires caused by devouring other planets!!

Fortunately, its surface area is vast enough to support the survival of a nearly endless number of beastkin...

No matter how large the natural disasters caused by swallowing other small planets are, for a planet the size of a star domain, they are always insignificant.

This planet is too big, so big that any large-scale disaster is like a drop of water, gently falling into the ocean...

Most importantly, no matter how huge this planet's size is, the planetary gravity it possesses is not much different from other habitable planets. Even those with extremely frail physiques can withstand it.

When the powerful and arrogant Elf Empire still existed.

Those long-eared elves, using their own magic and the divine power of the Elven Race's gods, adjusted the planet's gravity, while still allowing the planet to retain its ability to devour other planets...

And the reason those long-eared elves did this was simply to provide the newborn children of the Elven Race with a safe and comfortable environment for growth, reducing the infant mortality rate...

After finishing the basic introduction about the "Beastkin Star Domain," the raven and Loren exchanged a knowing glance, neither of them speaking...

Man and bird almost simultaneously looked out the train window at the vast white scenery.

Moonlight spilled onto the white earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The howling sound of the cold wind drowned out everything on the white wilderness...

"Master, my Wisdom tells me that the secrets of the Beastkin Star Domain are many, and they are great."

The raven, gazing at the scenery outside the window, said quietly.

"Raven, I have a premonition."

At this moment.

Loren, also looking out the window, voiced the strange feeling that had suddenly arisen in his heart.

"What premonition, Master?"

The raven withdrew its gaze, turning to look into Loren's deep eyes.

"That these secrets will soon be unraveled before us..."

Loren's tone was cool and clear, like the boundless white snow covering the earth outside the window.

As these words fell, neither man nor bird spoke again, both continuing to focus intently on reading the thick book.

The only difference was that a deep worry filled the raven's small eyes.

While Loren's eyes were unexpectedly calm, even carrying a hint of anticipation...

This book titled "A Travel Guide to the Human Geography of the Beastkin Star Domain" is a popular science book produced by a goblin publishing house known for being "clever" and "cunning."

Therefore, after providing a basic introduction to the "Beastkin Star Domain," this book began to extensively intersperse some self-serving content glorifying goblin civilization...

Including, but not limited to, using large sections to introduce the influence of goblin civilization on the entire Beastkin Star Domain.

The book proclaims concepts such as "the goblin race is the smartest race in the Star Realm," "goblin scientists have made the Beastkin Star Domain more civilized," and "the goblin business model has made the Beastkin Star Domain more prosperous," and so on.

Loren even saw an interesting piece of information: even the "Mana Crystal Train" he was currently riding on was the handiwork of those "goblin scientists."

On this super-giant planet, this mode of transportation connecting every city was originally invented by "goblin scientists."

The reason it was named "Mana Crystal Train" is because, in ancient goblin legends, "Spirit Stones"—those natural minerals containing vast amounts of stable energy—were affectionately called "mana crystals" by people.

The book also mentions that the modern term "Spirit Stones" is a name bestowed by the Federation's Energy Department within human civilization.

The reason the term "Spirit Stones" spread throughout the Star Realm is also because the Federation's Powerful Individuals are folks who like to wander around everywhere.

These "street wanderer" Powerful Individuals, who have engraved "freedom" into their souls, brought the term "Spirit Stones" to most places in the Star Realm...

Finally, even the chaotic demons of The Abyss gradually came to accept this term...

It's easy to imagine how far the footprints of these freedom-loving fellows have reached.

As for the term "Ling Shi," only the Superhumans in the distant Eastern Star Domain, who are often in seclusion, call them that...

The Superhumans of the Eastern Star Domain, who are informationally isolated and prefer to do their own thing, stubbornly maintain the integrity of their own supernatural system.

Superhumans hailing from the Eastern Star Domain are also a relatively mysterious group of Superhumans, quite rare within the Star Realm...

This has also led to most people in the Star Realm today having a rather unified impression of Eastern Star Domain Superhumans.

"Shut-ins, long-lived, old-fashioned, with bizarre and cruel methods, flashy fighting styles, especially adept at large-scale attacks..."

This is the goblin civilization's stereotype of the Eastern Star Domain, and also the stereotype most people in the Star Realm hold about the Eastern Star Domain.

Reading this, Loren automatically thought of a certain swindler "friend."

He recalled his impression of "Wang Linfu."

He was a fellow whose eyes held shrewdness and caution...

Because the other party's talent and methods were indeed not bad, Loren thoughtfully gifted him a Revolver.

This was also the first peculiar individual who offended him yet still received a Revolver.

Thinking of this, Loren smiled and shook his head.

Sure enough, goblin civilization also harbors prejudice. Is this the common ailment of intelligent civilizations...

After reminiscing about his "friend" from the Eastern Star Domain, Loren gently closed the book in his hands and tossed the thick volume to the raven.

"Raven, use your Wisdom to finish reading this, thanks~"

After entrusting the raven, Loren then quietly released his Spiritual Power, covertly scanning the Mana Crystal Train beneath his feet...
