Was this description from a science fiction novel?

In fact, the Milky Way Galaxy where Earth was located and several other surrounding galaxies belonged to the territory of the "Old Empire." The term 'Old Empire' was used to refer to the other side's 'same domain'. The term 'same territory' was only used in the old empire. The Old Empire was formed by an alliance that had controlled most of the Milky Way since a long time ago and some other small groups. They yearned for an organized and disciplined people. Its main base was in Orion. The same territory was a "new" federation. Their aspirations were different from the old empire. They yearned for freedom and equality. (It is said that there are still levels, classes, rich people, and poor people in equality. It's always a different slogan) Although the Earth we are on is under the control of the Old Empire, it is not a planet directly under the jurisdiction of the Old Empire. The civilization that controls our region is one that was originally on Venus. They called themselves the Universal Federation. But where exactly was their stronghold now? Whether they still existed was a mystery. This was because although they seemed to submit to the old empire on the surface, they actually did not agree with the old empire's methods. Therefore, it was unknown whether it was destroyed by the old empire, or Venus was not used to living and retreated, or it was involved in the war between the two major factions and was worn down. To the Star Alliance, Earth was a place for soul cultivation. The people of the Star Alliance yearned for a higher level of soul. They didn't want to rely too much on technology. They believed that the power of the soul and the realm were the most important. In the eyes of the new forces (the reason why they were called new forces was because they entered the sights of the old empire's forces relatively late), Earth was a prison. It was a big prison that locked up those who had independent thoughts, rebelled, were talented but did not listen to discipline, or were too lazy to participate in any work, as well as some more abnormal criminals. The reason why it was called a prison was because when the physical body of the person inside died, the soul would be captured by a unified filter net and then erased before being sent back to Earth. This is what we call reincarnation. Of course, there are also examples of programs that have incorrect memories at that time, but they are still very rare. Because if one's memories were not erased, one's knowledge would accumulate. When they encountered something, they would have a judgment based on knowledge. Naturally, there would be no more random and freedom. Therefore, people had to start from the "first" and then find the means to sublimate the soul in that short life, and then break through the "prison" to achieve the goal of soul cultivation. As for those who did not listen to discipline and criminals, as well as those rebellious politicians with independent thoughts, they were also sent to this planet because the power of the Old Empire was relatively large, so the Star Alliance had no choice but to agree to let those people into the system. The Star Alliance used this system to sublimate souls, and the old empire saw this as a good place to lock up souls. I don't know if I'm right, but in history, Confucius, Sakyamuni, and the others were the ones who successfully used their entire lives to transcend this system. They had achieved their goal. Within the scope of the Old Empire's rule, as long as one was disobedient, disobedient, independent, unwilling to listen to other people's orders, unwilling to live under a dead hierarchy, as well as those useless people who did not work and those bandits, they would be sent to Earth to be "locked up". On the other hand, the people from the Star Alliance were all writers, dancers, languages, scientists, and so on who had spiritual and spiritual powers. However, it was precisely this method that was deemed inhumane, illiberal, unachievable, and unsupportable by the people in the same territory. Therefore, these two forces had been at war for a long time. Until recently, before the establishment of the ancient Egyptian civilization, the war was finally settled. The main planet of the old empire was occupied by the same territory. However, the soul filtering system on Earth was still effective. How to achieve this had not been resolved yet. The ancient Egyptian civilization was originally developed with the help of the Star Alliance. However, due to the war, the Star Alliance stopped helping the Egyptian civilization because it belonged to the old empire. This caused the ancient Egyptian civilization to stagnate and eventually perish. Although the Star Alliance belonged to the Old Empire, they didn't wholeheartedly agree with the Old Empire's methods. Therefore, he did not help the old empire much during the war. As for where they went after that? He didn't know if they had joined the same territory. Their technology wasn't very strong (in other words, they didn't study ultimate weapons). However, each of their souls was extraordinary. Knowledge, wisdom, patience, comprehension, and so on might be the strongest in the entire universe. This was because they pursued the sublimation of the soul and not blindly pursuing the strength of technology.
