The opening of the Interstellar Civilization is no joke.
In terms of overall power, the Interstellar Civilization is probably the strongest of the three, and with its vast population and massive productivity, if the doomsday crisis faced by the Interstellar Civilization itself ever turns around—or even just eases up a bit—it's not just a matter of the overwhelming Gray Mist. Any bit of freed-up productivity could massively help the other civilizations.
Shen Hao and Martial Arts Shen Hao have both been looking forward to this day.
Especially Martial Arts Shen Hao.
The crisis looming over his world is looking less and less like your average ice age or something—they're even considering trading for a large migration ship and just up and ditching the planet.
But right now, those migration ships are strategic assets of the Interstellar Civilization, the lifeline for countless people. If their situation doesn't improve, they probably aren't trading any of those away.
