Chapter 28 The Dream of Chasing Stars

Alice often looked up at the sky, where twinkling lights adorned her dreams and the memories she cherished in the dark expanse.

In her past life, she wandered through the city but could hardly see the stars. Only by climbing high hills could she see the spirits hanging in the sky.

This world is too primitive. The creatures on the ground still fix their eyes on their ambitions, never thinking that no matter how great their achievements or how great their empires, they will all vanish into dust and become myths and poems in a few hundred years. Only the truth, only the truth of science, will remain forever.

This idea dominated her entire life: looking upwards, chasing the stars, and pursuing truth.

"Miss."

“Ah, Sainz Scarlett, it’s been a long time, as well as Lactara Allen, Anders Carter, and my dear Rafis.”

Alice was fiddling with a telescope longer than three musket barrels, on a hill outside Trian. Perhaps no one would know what was going on tonight.

"Everyone, you are all people I know and have chosen to trust. Please keep everything I say today deep in your hearts."

Cultivating personal power is necessary, but Alice hopes to imbue this power with an idealistic spirit. In this era, only those who seek knowledge and hold ideals can lead everyone forward.

Alice walked away from the telescope and gestured for Saines to come over. Through the telescope, they looked up at the sky. In another world, in the same era, a seeker of knowledge named Galileo began his journey of questioning the heavens in this way.

“Sainz, what are you seeing?”

"Star?"

“I once told you that every star in the sky is a sphere, just like the earth beneath our feet. Perhaps on a distant star, there is a planet just like the one beneath our feet, where stories just like ours are unfolding.”

"Stars? Your Highness..."

"That's right, stars. Think about it, what do the stars in the sky mean to us? No, what does the star beneath our feet represent?"

"Represents...everything about us?"

Laktara Allen pondered that this vampire lady was undoubtedly the most learned scholar. The self-proclaimed learned professors in the Wisdom Palace of the Eastern Desert probably did not have as much influence as the inspiration that came from her petite body.

To keep up with her, you need a more unconventional mindset and greater wisdom.

"That's right, Laktara, everything about us, yes, not just our Amelansi, not just vampires, demons, us, including all living beings in this world, evil, righteous, foolish, wise."

"We were born on this land, under this sky, but have we ever truly seen what it looks like? We, all living beings, fight and hate one another, but have we ever thought to turn our gaze to this land, this civilization, to seek a path of unity for all of us, whether human, demon, elf, dwarf, dragon, or siren, and—the future?"

The others felt a chill; this went beyond the foundation of rule advocated by all past monarchs. Monarchs relied on gods to maintain their legitimacy, while she wanted to unite all races into one, build a mixed-race government, and jointly seek the path to a civilized future.

Alice took out something, and in the moonlight, everyone could see its shape. It was a crown, a crown that inspired submission just by looking at it.

"【Crown of Rule】.......It is it, this is...the symbol of the emperor."

Legend has it that whoever possesses it will rule over all living beings on this continent, but every time the person who possesses it rules the continent, the vast empire will quickly fall apart, and the ruler will be devoured by it.

"Friends, my vision is to unite all living beings on this star, to turn our gaze to the sky, to explore the meaning of our society and our culture, and to realize our ideals and dreams. We will build a kingdom of dreamers, where everyone can pursue their dreams, and we will know everything we want to know. Who among you is willing to join me on this journey?"

Half a second passed, and Sainz nodded first. Alice knew that these were the people she had the most contact with on a daily basis and were the most likely to be subtly influenced by her.

"Alright, everyone, I hereby announce that we will be establishing an organization called the 'Far-sighted Alliance.' This name signifies that we will see further than anyone else, whether it be nature or society."

"Our goal is to establish a free and equal republic, and to use the brightest minds of our people to send our civilization into the stars."

"So, Miss, when do you anticipate we'll be able to roam among the stars?"

Alice looked at Raphis, and the dark elf maid looked up curiously at the boundless stars. The universe was too far away, and the sky was too high, but she raised her head.

"We've completed ninety percent of the work, Rafis?"

"Have you conceived another great machine?"

The person in charge of industry was quite excited. He had read a lot of Alice's summaries on industry and learned a lot about "future machines".

"No, in fact, when we look up at the sky and contemplate this dark space, we are destined to go there in the future."

When they looked up at the sky, it was all destined. Whether it was hundreds or thousands of years, when intelligent life was drawn to the stars that had shone above them since ancient times, they were destined to go there.

"From this moment on, we, every single one of us, everyone here, are comrades. We share a common title—farsighted people."

"Comrades, in the future, please remember to pay attention to the dreamers and researchers around you. We need everyone who can contribute to our entire civilization."

"But right now, our primary goal is industrialization. If we don't have the ability to make new tools, how can we even talk about exploring the skies?"

Alice looked at Anders Carter, who nodded. Industrialization was one of Alice's main goals, a fact known to everyone from top to bottom.

"Because we belong to the same organization, we must unite closely. Comrades, please allow me to address each other in this way, because we share the same goals and aspirations, and we will all strive for the survival and development of civilization."

"Yes! Our goal, our cause, is to transform this world into the way we dream of it!"

"Follow this arduous journey, until you reach the stars!"

Alice shouted their slogan, and from this night on, a group of people would begin to pursue their dreams.
