The Pioneer is clearly the type of scientist that super civilizations and Fallen Empires in the universe would want to take away. The Star God's recognition and reward for the Pioneer is actually very selfless. If it were some other more selfish civilization, they might not give gifts but rather take them away directly for their own service.
From this point of view, the Star God, as Ian previously speculated, is indeed a higher civilization with goodwill towards many civilizations.
So, can Ian be compared to the Pioneer? A formerly ordinary rocket engineer in a previous life, after going through numerous events and learning a great deal of knowledge, can he be compared to a scholar like the Pioneer who leads an era without relying on the Silver Chip?
The answer is, of course, he can.
