"There are so many Space Cities?"
"And Guardian Temples?" Li Yuan traversed the starry sky and saw a large number of Space Cities, with many people coming and going.
There were also larger floating Temples, all of which were Divine Artifact Level... A large number of Guardian Temples essentially acted as ’Formation Bases’.
Guarding the void in all directions, to fully protect Blue Star.
In the Divine Realm, any slightly important planet would be treated this way.
With Li Yuan’s power, a single thought allowed him to perceive everything and understand that these Guardian Divine Artifacts were the ones he had given to Dongfang Ji last time.
"It seems that over these years, the Dongfang Alliance Leader has brought significant changes to the Seven Star Civilization." Li Yuan smiled; with the Dongfang Alliance Leader and others there, he felt comfortable leaving his home.
Li Yuan gracefully entered and was already above Xia Country, where, with his abilities, Blue Star’s Guardian Array naturally couldn’t detect him.
Swoosh! Space lightly trembled, and a young girl in a blue dress appeared before Li Yuan.
"Big brother." It was ’Liu Bing’, who had already mastered Void Shifting and had always been on Blue Star.
"Xiao Bing." Li Yuan smiled; he hadn’t informed anyone about his return.
Xiao Bing naturally knew through their soul connection.
Of course, as his power grew stronger, if Li Yuan invoked the mysteries of the ’Ancient Universe Time River’, it would have kept Liu Bing from sensing his soul’s presence.
"Big brother." Liu Bing’s face was full of excitement.
"You’ve been staying on Blue Star?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Liu Bing nodded repeatedly: "You know, big brother, I’m used to staying on Blue Star. In my eyes, Blue Star is no different from home."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly; he had once served as the Blue Star Leader, and young Liu Bing frequently used transformation techniques to play in towns, especially in Xia Country.
Therefore, her feelings for Blue Star were the deepest.
"Alright." Li Yuan smiled and said, "I haven’t been back for so many years, so you’ll have to introduce things to me."
"Haha, good, big brother. You haven’t been back for nearly a hundred years, right? Both Blue Star and the Seven Star Civilization have changed a lot." Liu Bing laughed, "The population is much less than before, and it’s become much prettier."
"It is indeed much more beautiful." Li Yuan sincerely felt.
Just as he descended with Void Shifting, Li Yuan had already noticed this... The old Seven Star Civilization was constantly threatened by Foreign Civilizations, with wars year after year.
In order to produce various war weapons and constructions, the entire planet was frantically exploited, just to use more resources.
At the time, the population was concentrated in large cities to better guard against the Alien Race.
But now it’s clearly different.
Many large cities have dispersed their populations, and numerous ’War Fortresses’ from the past have been dismantled, with only a few left as ’historical museums’, to help the younger generation understand that era.
And along with population migration, technological advancement, and pollution control.
The natural environment and ecosystem have improved significantly.
"Come, big brother, let me give you a good explanation." Liu Bing smiled, and the two leisurely flew in the void.
Neither formations nor some technological instruments could detect their presence.
The two talked slowly.
"Blue Star has become the second-largest planet in the Seven Star Civilization? Only after Feixing." Li Yuan nodded slightly, "But the permanent population is still only about ten billion?"
"Big brother, ten billion is already a lot." Liu Bing smiled, "You don’t know; ever since you annihilated the Myriad Demons Civilization and evolved the Dimensional Plane, creating hundreds more Life Planets... The entire civilization has been encouraging population migration."
"Nowadays, the total population of the Seven Star Civilization has surpassed 800 billion, but spread across the major planets, and the Second Territory, and the Immortal Ruins Civilization’s Territory... Each planet averages only two to three billion people." Liu Bing explained, "And this is despite the crazy encouragement for childbirth."
"Technology is advanced, material abundance is immense, and there’s no pressure for survival."
"Even with various robots and numerous rewards and subsidies."
"Many of the younger generation of the Seven Star Civilization simply do not wish to have children." Liu Bing sighed, "In a hundred years, the Seven Star Civilization’s population has only quadrupled."
"Quadrupling is already pretty good." Li Yuan smiled, "You should also understand, the stronger one becomes, the less desire they have for procreation."
"That’s true." Liu Bing nodded; having descendants is essentially about passing on the bloodline, it’s a fear of death.
But for super powerhouses, each of them is vibrant with life and long-lived, believing they’ll achieve great things... So naturally, they wouldn’t pay much attention to having offspring.
Only those super powerhouses nearing the end of their lives would start desiring it again.
"Big brother, we’ve reached Kunlun City." Liu Bing pointed at the city below and laughed.
"Kunlun City?" Li Yuan looked down at the vast city below, teeming with aircraft, but there weren’t any high-rise buildings.
"Is this... Kunlun University?" Li Yuan said softly.
Returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan hadn’t deliberately used Divine Sense to explore, doing so would lose much of the fun.
Yet, just one look made Li Yuan understand that this city was located where his alma mater, ’Kunlun Martial University’, was situated.
"I remember this area was destroyed back then, wasn’t it?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.
During his more than ten years of ventures on the ’Jue Xing Continent’, Blue Star was attacked by the Immortal Ruins Civilization.
One of the battle outbreak sites was at Kunlun Martial University, and Demigod Sang Qiu also fell here.
"Yes, it was destroyed, but after rebuilding, which was more than ten years after we went to the Divine Realm, it was relocated back, and on this foundation, ’Kunlun City’ was directly established." Liu Bing smiled, "Now on Blue Star, the largest city is Xia Country’s Capital City."
