Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"Alright."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, "I have now become a Star God and possess the ability to refine a divine artifact. I should be able to pass the trials on the Celestial Vault Islands, right?"

"On the Celestial Vault Islands, there are only the most basic methods for refining divine artifacts." Lord Su said, "And you can only refine a Life System Artifact."

While speaking, she glanced at the pyramidal tombs in the void surrounding the platform and said, "Those truly powerful divine artifact inheritances are all within the tombs. If you want to obtain them..."

"I understand."

Lin Qing nodded, "It's about helping find a suitable heir, right?"

"As long as you understand." Lord Su nodded slightly.

"I will prepare for a while longer. After refining the Basic Divine Artifact, I will join the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance, and by then I can help find the heir." Lin Qing said.

"Go ahead." Lord Su nodded in response.

...

"Lin Qing, did you succeed?"

Qi Lingxiao, Chu Hongjun, and others were relieved upon seeing Lin Qing's success.

The importance of a Star God to civilization is almost irreplaceable.

Although Lin Qing was confident, they couldn't rest assured until success was confirmed.

Now, they felt much more at ease.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Three of you, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, how is the situation on Earth now?"

"We have started large-scale Power Awakening." Chu Hongjun said, "However, it is still very difficult for Earth to produce talents with Ninth Energy Level abilities, and even the Eighth Energy Level is scarce."

"It's alright, what's more important now is the quantity of Starry Sky Source Stones." Lin Qing said, "As long as large-scale Power Awakening is carried out."

"Opening a Void Secret Realm requires guidance from Void Creatures, are you confident?" Chu Hongjun asked.

"No." Lin Qing shook his head, "Regardless of whether it's opening a Void Secret Realm or expanding and strengthening, a large amount of Starry Sky Source Stones is needed. For now, just increase the population as much as possible and extend the life expectancy of everyone."

"How much is required?" Chu Hongjun asked.

"If it's just to open and stabilize a Void Secret Realm, each millennium needs 38 billion tons of Starry Sky Source Stones; expansion requires even more." Lin Qing said, "Therefore, we must have a sufficient number of Power Awakened ones."

"How... how much? 38 billion tons?" Qi Lingxiao was a little dumbfounded.

And Chu Hongjun pondered for a while and softly said, "That requirement isn't high. Even if ninety-nine percent of a civilization's population are Sixth Energy Level talents, with each person contributing dozens of kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stone over a thousand years, just having a trillion Power Awakened ones would be enough."

"Indeed, it's not high." Lin Qing nodded, "It shouldn't take too long, right?"

"The growth of Power Awakened numbers is exponentially explosive, it really doesn't take long."

Chu Hongjun said, "Helping the existing people in a civilization awaken their powers isn't difficult. The challenge is expanding the population scale, which requires enough resources to support so many Power Awakened ones' survival and cultivation."

He pondered slightly and said, "In the past few centuries, after three global Evolutionary Radiations, Earth civilization's average Genetic Index has reached 97%, almost everyone can achieve Genetic Awakening, with a long life expectancy for everyone. Achieving universal Power Awakening shouldn't take too long, but there is a very serious problem."

Lin Qing, thoughtful, said, "Dean Chu is suggesting that Earth cannot bear it, right?"

"Yes, it actually can't bear it anymore."

Chu Hongjun slowly said, "I've long since sold the Nine Star Civilization's cosmic fleet fortresses and so on at the Golden Commerce, fully purchasing resources for the direction of civilization development."

"And with Irenado maintaining the civilization guidance, the development speed is indeed quite fast."

He slightly frowned and said, "However, with more and more Power Awakened ones to support, we'll need to support a trillion in the future, and also make them all original life forms. Such a massive number of original life forms, relying solely on Earth as it is now, cannot sustain it."

Lin Qing understood his meaning.

Energy conservation.

An Original Life form must ensure its own energy balance, with consumption and recovery stable, which requires absorbing Cosmic Free Energy gathered by a planet.

With a Perfect Level Planet constantly attracting and gathering enormous energy from the universe, even if a thousand or ten thousand Original Life forms constantly absorb, the planet can supply enough.

But consumption by over a trillion Original Life forms?

The consumption would be terrifying!

Even for over a trillion ordinary people, the planet's technology must be advanced enough to continuously supply external resources to sustain so many people.

Let alone over a trillion Original Life forms!

A Perfect Level Planet can supply up to a million Original Life forms at its limit.

But over a trillion Original Life forms, a Perfect Level Planet simply couldn't supply that!

This is like a big family that can sustain a thousand people comfortably, but with ten thousand people to sustain, many are sure to starve.

"Can't the Original Life forms leave Earth and survive on other planets temporarily?" Qi Lingxiao asked.

"Where to?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said, "The Moon? Mars? Or those Earth-like planets a few light-years away? Those uninhabited, desolate planets aren't Life Planets and won't actively gather cosmic energy, similar to outer space, the energy is too sparse to support many Original Life forms' survival."

"Then disperse them?" Qi Lingxiao suggested. "The universe is so vast, with a range of hundreds of light-years, surely it can support over a trillion Original Life forms."

"Disperse?" Chu Hongjun said, "These Original Life forms must break through on Earth. If Earth can't supply such enormous energy, they must break through in batches, which takes too much time."
