For Meng Yao, the week-long adaptive learning experience was a mind-blowing and soul-reshaping journey.

Through the holographic courses on the bracelet, she systematically learned about this incredible country called "Kingdom of Stars".

She realized that the "Great Migration" was not a coincidence.

Instead, the entire Earth, including its inhabitants, was transported by an unknown force to this strange planet, which is incredibly rich in resources.

She also learned how His Majesty Lin Feng, in the face of an apocalyptic start, used his extraordinary wisdom and strength to unite the survivors, establish order, develop technology, and ultimately create this glorious empire.

The historical footage in the course was authentic and impactful.

A cataclysmic mutated beast, a monstrous horde that blots out the sky, and humans struggling to survive amidst the ruins...

And a godlike man who always stands on the front line, single-handedly turning the tide.

Every time Meng Yao saw Lin Feng, her heart would pound uncontrollably.

The more she learned about this man, the deeper her admiration and awe for him became.

She also understood why the people of this country held such fervent faith in their monarch. Because without him, none of this would exist.

In addition to history, she also studied the kingdom's social system.

Here, there is no exploitation, no oppression.

Everyone does what they love, based on their own interests and strengths.

Working hours are strictly limited to six hours per day. The remaining time is personal and can be used for learning, entertainment, or spending time with family.

Researchers enjoy the highest social status and the most generous resources.

Teachers are revered as "engineers of civilization" and are respected by the whole society.

Soldiers are the "guardians of the kingdom" and symbols of honor.

Even the most ordinary workers have a decent income and the dignity that allows them to hold their heads high.

All of this is based on a principle that His Majesty Lin Feng calls "absolute fairness" and "distribution according to contribution".

Meng Yao's worldview was completely overturned.

She once believed that human society would inevitably have classes, a gap between the rich and the poor, and injustice. But Lin Feng showed her with facts that an ideal, utopian society could absolutely be created.

The prerequisite is that there must be a supreme ruler with absolute power and absolute wisdom.

A week passed quickly.

Meng Yao and her younger sister Meng Xin have fully recovered to their healthy state.

They are even healthier than they were in their Blue Star days.

The nourishing solution made their skin delicate and smooth, and their hair regained its black and shiny color.

My younger sister, Meng Xin, has been enrolled in a nearby public primary school by the community.

The school's facilities were more advanced and luxurious than any other aristocratic school on Earth that Meng Yao could remember. And all of this was free.

Zhang Wei's injuries had long since healed. Thanks to the strong physique and agility he had developed in the hunter team, he passed the military's tests and successfully joined the Kingdom's garrison reserve. Wearing his crisp military uniform, he was as excited as a child.

The other survivors also found their place within the kingdom's well-established social system.

Some people went into factories to learn how to operate advanced automated equipment.

Others have chosen agriculture, cultivating all sorts of exotic alien crops under the vast ecological dome.

Everyone has found a new beginning.

Meng Yao, too, faced her own choice.

On this day, the staff of the community service center found her again.

"Hello Ms. Meng Yao. Based on the information you filled in regarding 'artistic talents' in your new citizen file, we have matched you with several career paths that may be suitable for you."

The staff displayed several options on the holographic screen in front of them.

"First, you can choose to study at the 'Kingdom First Art Academy'. With your talent, you are very likely to become a respected artist after graduation."

"Secondly, you can join the Kingdom's 'Ministry of Cultural Promotion'. Your painting skills can help us better promote the Kingdom's ideals and depict the beauty of our times."

"Third, the game company under 'Kingdom Entertainment' is recruiting concept artists. They are currently developing a new game called 'Homescapes' and desperately need someone like you."

Looking at the options on the screen, each one was incredibly tempting. Each one represented the future she had always dreamed of.

However, at that moment, another announcement popped up in the corner of the screen, broadcast across all channels by the Ministry of People's Livelihood.

That was precisely—"The Final Rules for Holding the First Imperial Selection of Consorts".

Beside the announcement were holographic images of the current concubines. Some were intellectual and elegant, some were stunningly beautiful, some were heroic and spirited, and some were gentle and charming... Each one was breathtakingly beautiful and peerless.

When they looked at the camera, the genuine love and happiness they felt for the king in their eyes was something that no amount of acting could fake.

Meng Yao's gaze was instantly drawn to the announcement.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

That thought, that thought that had been buried deep in her heart since the day she was rescued, resurfaced once again, uncontrollably.

Go see him.

Go to his side.

Go and see for yourself the man who created all of this and changed her destiny.

This may be an extremely distant, even somewhat unrealistic fantasy.

Throughout the kingdom, how many outstanding and beautiful girls share the same thoughts as her?

What right does she, a survivor who has just crawled out of the ruins and has nothing, have to compete with them?

But...why not give it a try?

In this country, His Majesty has given everyone a fair chance.

She remembered the days she struggled to survive in the ruins for half a piece of lizard meat.

She recalled the deep-seated despair and helplessness she felt when facing the "one-eyed dragon".

She also recalled the flame of "hope" that ignited in her heart when those black-armored divine soldiers descended from the sky.

That man gave her a new life.

It was that man who gave her sister a bright future.

It was that man who gave her the right and dignity to choose her own life.

This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.

She had no way to repay him.

Perhaps, the best way to repay him is to dedicate one's life to serving him, to looking up to him, and to become a tiny, quietly shining star in his brilliant sky.

It was also her most instinctive and purest longing as a woman.

"I...I want to participate in this."

Meng Yao raised her hand, trembling, and pointed to the announcement about "selecting concubines".

The community worker paused for a moment, but quickly gave her an understanding and encouraging smile.

“Yes, Ms. Meng Yao. This is a very courageous decision. I am proud of you.”

She skillfully operated the bracelet.

"According to the regulations, all applicants need to undergo preliminary screening. The screening includes genetic testing, health assessment, psychological assessment, and basic talent demonstration."

"You meet all the basic requirements. I have already submitted your application. The preliminary selection will be held at the Central Arts Center in this city in three days."

"Good luck, madam. May His Majesty's glory be with you."

As Meng Yao walked out of the community service center, her emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

She looked up, gazing at the sky above the bustling city. The towering "Tower of Heaven" shone with a sacred radiance in the sunlight.

She knew that from the moment she made her decision, her fate was inextricably linked to that tower and its owner.

The road ahead may be full of challenges.

But there was not a trace of retreat in her eyes.

Only, an endless, unwavering light.
