From a biological perspective, humans on Capricorn Planet, Mars, and Earth are all carbon-based life forms, suggesting they share a common ancestor. However, due to various factors such as environment, Cognitive Ability, and the control exerted by Homo Sapiens, the developmental stages of each planet differ. The Earthlings remain in a primitive stage, while Mars has entered a highly developed phase. Capricorn Planet, driven by a sense of survival crisis and the ambition of its people, has advanced technologically; unfortunately, it is an artificial planet. Although the Capricornian people migrated from another star system located 20 billion light-years away from Earth long ago, that was indeed a distant past.
On Capricorn Planet, there has always been a legendary creation story.
In those ancient times, the ancestors of the Bel Tribe, Kairo Tribe, and Fair Tribe took root and multiplied on Capricorn Planet. Soon, family territorial disputes ignited. Due to the strength of the Bel Tribe, there was no room for the Kairo Tribe and Fair Tribe, forcing these minorities to migrate to Mars to establish their own territories. They were driven by the powerful Capricorn Tribe to the artificial, mobile Capricorn Planet. They drifted through the skies towards the solar system and eventually discovered Mars, a planet barely suitable for human habitation. After several generations of effort, Mars has been developed into a planet with initial modern scale, achieving capabilities to rival the Capricornian.
Because of this creation story, the Capricornian people have always believed themselves to be the ancestors of the Martians and assert that Mars should belong to the territory of the Capricorn Tribe.
Of course, the root cause of the war lies in the Capricornian's desire for energy resources on Mars and Earth, wanting to claim them for themselves. They secretly established bases on both Mars and Earth and conducted extensive mining on the Moon for energy to meet their planet's needs. If it weren't for rapid technological advancements solving their energy issues, war between Capricorn Planet and Mars would have been inevitable.
With energy resolved, the Capricorn Star King wished to end the war and recuperate. However, Belche's ambitions grew; he usurped the throne and aimed to use Capricorn Planet's advanced technology to dominate Mars and Earth, ultimately seeking to rule the universe.
Although there are no overt conflicts between Capricorn Planet and Mars at present, their covert struggles continue. Belche changed his previous barbaric armed invasion tactics by sending numerous Special Forces Members to Mars specifically to gather images, living habits, and various physiological data of important families and figures on Mars. Using modern high-tech methods from Capricorn Planet, he cloned them to replace these individuals in order to gradually control their families.
Through his relentless efforts, some small families on Mars have been completely controlled by him. Except for Feilbolai, which remains under his control entirely, many ministers and nobles from this tribe have also been replaced. The leaders, ministers, and nobles of these replaced families have mostly undergone genetic modification; aside from a few imprisoned on Capricorn Planet, most had their brains implanted with controllers and were quietly sent to Earth.
All of this was done by Belche without anyone noticing. Just as he occupied the Mars Alliance Headquarters and prepared for a major offensive against the Kairo Tribe in alliance with the Fair Tribe, his plans were once again disrupted when Kairuot reclaimed the Mars Alliance Base, shattering his dreams once more.
The Kairo Tribe is indeed the toughest opponent for Belche. The skills of Kairuoka have caused multiple close encounters with his Special Forces Members to end in failure; even ministers from the Kairo Tribe are formidable opponents who have made life difficult for his forces. Inciting war between the Fair Tribe and the Kairo Tribe over territory was his last resort. His ideal scenario was to quietly transform all of Mars into his domain like he did with Capricorn Planet.
The return of Kairuot, this troublesome star, has left him restless. At this moment, Belche hates not just Kairuot, but also Belzon! This old fellow is untrustworthy. They had secretly reached an agreement where he would occupy Mars while Belzon took control of Earth and the Moon; both would stay out of each other's way as long as Belzon kept delaying Kairuot on Earth without letting him return to Mars. At a critical moment, however, Belzon broke this agreement by allowing Kairuot to return to Earth and reclaiming the Mars Base.
The most troubling issue for Belche is that he cannot be sure whether or not Kairuot will come to Capricorn Planet. If that happens, dealing with him will be quite a headache. To prepare for this possibility, he ordered a global lockdown and increased security around the palace with several additional guard posts.
Capricorn Planet was on high alert, with troops deployed at important stations conducting thorough inspections. Screens in various commercial areas, key ports, and bustling streets displayed images and photos of Kairuot.
Seeing this situation, Kairuot had no choice but to change his appearance. To be safe, Xiaoli also altered her looks. The two used the portraits of Special Forces Member stored in their small boxes to disguise themselves. Although they looked slightly different from their original appearances, they still appeared as handsome young men, with Xiaoli transforming into a striking young man as well. They donned the latest casual attire popular among Capricornian and hurried down the street, inadvertently attracting quite a few glances.
Gazing at the dreamlike, floating Capricorn Planet mall, Xiaoli was eager to go inside and explore just how modern this planet truly was.
Understanding Xiaoli's thoughts, Kairuot agreed to let her wander around the nearby large mall to experience Capricornian life.
As Kairuot surveyed their surroundings, he told Xiaoli, “Capricorn Planet is an artificial planet; all its buildings can move. Each structure is suspended in a fixed position according to urban planning.”
Xiaoli exclaimed, “No wonder so many buildings float in the air! But these structures remain fixed in place and do not drift randomly; they maintain a good distance from each other.”
Kairuot replied, “What’s truly impressive about Capricornian isn’t the floating buildings but their control technology. To this day, Mars is far behind them in this aspect. As this planet moves through the sky, the artificial gravity they create manages to keep everything inside from floating aimlessly, making life for those residing here very comfortable.”
The two soon arrived at the “Capricorn Star Meilanna Shopping District,” a massive structure suspended in mid-air that could move. When people shopped at the mall and reached the staircase entrance, they would automatically float up; a floating device would take them to the mall's entrance. Inside the mall, people didn’t need to walk; it felt as if they were walking on clouds, gently hovering above the ground as they were transported to their desired products.
There were no salespeople in the mall; when you wanted to purchase something, all you had to do was lightly swipe your finger across the shopping list in front of the item you wished to buy. Your money would automatically be deducted from your account, and the product would be delivered right in front of you—extremely convenient.
Xiaoli wanted to try if she could shop with her finger but was promptly stopped by Kairuot: “Are you crazy? Your finger entering will attract Capricornian attention; we’ll be monitored in no time.”
Xiaoli asked, “But… I want to buy something! That lipstick looks great… what should I do?”
Kairuot pointed to a nearby Capricorn Planet soldier shopping. He scanned his small box over the product with a gentle sweep and quickly received his item.
Xiaoli nodded upon seeing it, and imitating the action, she gently swept her box, and sure enough, the lipstick she had her eye on appeared.
There weren't many people shopping in the mall. Although there were all kinds of products available, Xiaoli didn't dare to buy too much. She was well aware that she had important matters to attend to this time, and even if she bought a bunch of things, she wouldn't be able to bring them back to Mars, so she had to give up.
Having satisfied Xiaoli's curiosity, the two prepared to find a place to stay. Xiaoli looked up and spotted the luxurious Capricorn Grand Hotel floating in the distance, resplendent and impressive. Kairuot glanced around at the surroundings and also thought it would be a good place to observe the palace, so they decided to stay there. Xiaoli then excitedly pulled him toward it.
