After some time, the news spread that Ling Luo's appearance hadn't changed at all, and that she was still the same young girl everyone knew from when she was eighteen or nineteen.
The fact that Ling Luo hadn't appeared in front of anyone for several years was also known to netizens from various interstellar empires.
Ling Luo disappeared for five years when she first wrote cultivation techniques for the people of the Lingliu Empire.
Before she wrote the cultivation techniques for the Hellow Military Academy, her whereabouts were always a mystery.
Therefore, even though Ling Luo had suddenly disappeared for several years, the people of the interstellar empires all assumed that she was focused on researching new training methods.
The second cultivation technique Ling Luo wrote was incredibly effective.
Despite having numerous experts at the interstellar empires' training method research institutes who have studied ancient martial arts for many years, they still haven't been able to develop a better training method than Ling Luo's 72 training methods.
This shows that Ling Luo has an absolute talent for training methods, and it's not as simple as netizens initially thought that she just had an advantage because she knew ancient martial arts.
Because of this, the vast majority of people in the interstellar world now admire Ling Luo more and more.
Even if she is unable to develop better training methods in the future, even if she is surpassed by experts in training methods from various empires one day, her position in everyone's hearts will not change and cannot be replaced.
The fact that "so many experts have worked so hard for so many years, yet still haven't been able to develop training methods that surpass Ling Luo's" shows that researching a suitable and highly effective training method is no easy task.
Ling Luo hadn't appeared for seven years. Although everyone wanted to know if Ling Luo had developed any new training methods, there was no relevant news, so they weren't disappointed.
Everyone is quite concerned about Ling Luo.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that Ling Luo had reappeared.
"The God of Destruction has finally appeared! You've been busy for so long, thank you for your hard work!"
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Luo Shen!!!"
Regarding the rumors that Ling Luo's appearance is still exactly the same as when she was eighteen or nineteen years old, unchanged from what everyone remembers, netizens have mixed reactions.
"The last time the Crown Princess appeared in the public eye was ten years ago. At that time, she was exactly the same as everyone remembered, without any change. But ten years have passed, and she is in her early forties, yet she still looks so young... This is impossible, right? After all, we all know what an ordinary person looks like at forty."
"Yes, although we understand that everyone is worried that Luo Shen won't live long, and that she might have relationship problems with the crown prince of their empire because of her aged appearance, which would make her feel inferior and upset. But if she knew that we were forcibly hiding the fact that she looks old for her own good, wouldn't she feel even more pressured when she saw her face with obvious signs of aging?"
"That's right, if Luo Shen was already concerned about this matter, seeing our reaction would probably make her feel even worse."
Some netizens disagreed.
"You're overthinking it. Some people are just naturally youthful; they can be in their early forties but look like they're not even twenty. What's wrong with that?"
"That's right, that's right."
After a while of arguing among netizens from various empires, one netizen suddenly said, "Has anyone considered that perhaps Luo Shen drank a life-extending potion? If she drank a life-extending potion, an ordinary person could increase their lifespan by forty or fifty years. That means Luo Shen could very well live to be around one hundred and fifty years old. In that case, it would be quite normal for Luo Shen to start showing signs of aging after she turns one hundred."
Other netizens immediately realized what was going on when they saw the message.
"Yeah, yeah, holy crap, how come I didn't think of that!"
"That is indeed possible, but... although the Crown Princess certainly doesn't lack money now, this longevity potion isn't something you can just buy with money. The Tamican royal family offered over 200 billion before, but no one was willing to sell it, right?"
"It seems that the royal family of the Lingliu Empire and the family of their crown prince's mother managed to obtain this potion. Luo Shen has made so many contributions to the empire, and it is very likely that he will develop even better training methods in the future, creating greater benefits for their empire... For both public and private reasons, if Luo Shen wants to buy this life-extending potion, they probably won't refuse, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. First of all, we don't know if those potions have been used by anyone. Even if they haven't, no matter how much profit Luo Shen can bring to their empire in the future, it will benefit the entire empire. But the potions were purchased by individuals with their own money and are private property. Putting myself in their shoes, I really might not be willing to sell them."
"This... seems to be true..."
——
Three years later, Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue returned to the main planet.
After returning to the main planet, Ling Luo, Ye Xingxue, and Ye Feng attended an important meeting hosted by their empire.
Seeing that Ling Luo's appearance was exactly the same as when she first appeared in the public eye, without any change, Elder Luo and the others all felt that Ling Luo might have really drunk the longevity potion.
It's unclear whether the longevity potion she drank was the one from the royal collection or the one from the Ye family.
There were reporters present at the meeting.
After watching the video taken by the reporter, netizens from various empires finally believed that Ling Luo's appearance really hadn't changed, and that the claim that he was still as young as everyone remembered was not unfounded.
Therefore, many people, like Elder Luo and others, have the same guess that Ling Luo may have really drunk the longevity potion.
For the next two or three decades, Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue continued to return to the main star every three to five years.
However, sometimes she needs to go into seclusion due to breakthroughs in her cultivation, so she can't always return with Ye Xingxue.
Over the past two or three decades, she has appeared in public many times. People have seen that Ling Luo is over seventy years old but still looks so young, and they have already accepted that she has drunk longevity potions.
After returning to the main planet this time, Ling Luo did not go back to the base with Ye Xingxue, but stayed on the main planet.
Because she has already reached the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, she will be able to make a breakthrough in another two or three years.
She's going into seclusion.
This time, she will probably go into seclusion for twenty or thirty years.
Over the years, she has often gone into seclusion and, apart from participating in battles, has not made any contributions to the base, yet she has remained there all this time. She is actually feeling a little embarrassed about it.
This time her seclusion lasted too long, so she plans to stay on the main planet for further seclusion.
I will return to the base when needed after the seclusion ends.
Seeing the reluctance in Ye Xingxue's eyes, Ling Luo paused and said, "Twenty or thirty years... that will pass quickly."
Ye Xingxue hugged her, lowered his head to kiss her, and after a long while said, "Yes, I know..."
They have been married for over fifty years. Sometimes when he thinks back to the days when they first met or when they first officially got together, he feels that fifty years doesn't seem so far away.
In this light, twenty or thirty years seem to have passed very quickly.
But... she didn't know that time could feel especially long during the waiting and longing.
However, as I said before.
It's enough that she's still here.
