After settling the group in, Ye Chen left them alone and returned to the Primordial Star with the things he had bought.
If they can't develop even with a quiet environment for one or two months and virtually unlimited basic resources, then Ye Chen can only say that he misjudged them.
Upon returning to the Primordial Star, the entire world had changed drastically. Although he had only been away for less than a month, decades had passed within the Time Cave, which was why Ye Chen wanted to return early.
Unlike support-type lords like Si Meng, he needs to have extremely high prestige within his clan to lead troops into battle, so leaving for an extended period is clearly inappropriate.
Over the past two decades, not only has the area of the primordial planet changed, but the land, weather, and population have all experienced vigorous development.
The Wu tribe has spread throughout the Eastern Continent, and the Western Continent has been occupied by the alien race led by the New Aini City. What was once a small city with only tens of thousands of people has now developed into a huge city with tens of millions of people.
Cecilia has been re-established as a nation, named after Glory, while New Aini City has been renamed City of Hope, sharing the same name as the largest academy, Hope Academy, signifying the search for the light of hope in this dark world.
The expansion of the population to tens of millions brought a huge demographic dividend to the Glorious Empire. Especially during this century of peace, there was no need for a large number of warriors; all of humanity devoted themselves to the construction of cities.
Following the City of Hope, as many as five more cities have been built in Xiniuhe Continent. Although each city has only a few hundred thousand inhabitants, they are all developing rapidly. By the time we leave the Cave of Time, at least five more large cities with populations of tens of millions will stand tall.
Not only in Xiniu Hezhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, Ye Chen discovered that various creatures also lived in the seas surrounding Xiniu Hezhou. The mermaid clan, which was only a few people at the time, has now formed a small tribe and is showing a trend of continuous expansion.
Even the merfolk have developed, not to mention other land races, which are constantly growing stronger, including even the vampires who do not rely on reproduction.
As the population of Hope City continued to increase, many vampires were converted back to their original race. Of course, this was all done secretly, and Cecilia turned a blind eye to it. After all, a race also needs to survive and develop, and the vampires had indeed helped a lot in the early days of the construction of New Aini City. Therefore, as long as they didn't go too far, he no longer paid attention to such trivial matters.
The explosive growth of the population will inevitably bring about all kinds of social problems. If he, as the ruler of a country, focuses his attention on these trivial matters every day, he will be exhausted sooner or later.
"Very good!" Ye Chen exclaimed in admiration as he observed the development within his territory.
"The development of the territory has basically proceeded according to the plan you made before you left. In addition to the territory's area and population, everyone's strength has also increased to varying degrees. The Heavenly Court can see the strength of everyone on the Primordial Star. Now there are nearly 100 million creatures of the fourth rank or above," Ye Xi reported, without any intention of taking credit, even though she had been in charge of coordinating everything on the territory for more than 20 years.
"It seems that the Heavenly Court can also expand rapidly!" Ye Chen nodded and said.
Although neither the Witch Clan nor other races can reside in the Heavenly Court, spirits and demons can. Moreover, spirits and demons can not only become heavenly soldiers and fairies, but also become celestial birds and beasts in the Heavenly Court. The requirements for these are not high, especially for celestial beasts, many of which are even ornamental objects or mascots with no combat power...
The jade rabbits that were born alongside Yue'e were all thrown into the Guanghan Palace as auspicious symbols. Ye Chang also entered the Guanghan Palace and became the master of the palace. Of course, this was only in name. If she were to be truly deified, she would have to wait until her strength increased. She was not even a seventh-order demigod. The master of a palace needed to be an eighth-order true god.
With that in mind, Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony and directly selected hundreds of powerful and excellent spirits to serve in the Heavenly Court.
These are the most simple and unadorned spirits, who simply absorb the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate themselves. They are different from traditional demons, like the White Snake in "The Legend of the White Snake" and the Black Bear Spirit in "Journey to the West"...
Animals that cultivate themselves into spirits can ascend to the celestial realm and enter the Heavenly Court. However, once they engage in killing, they become demons, their bodies filled with demonic energy, making it difficult for them to become immortals again.
Ye Chen didn't have any good solutions for these demons. He could only let them develop and wait for the powerful people to kill them. After all, there were no Buddhas on the Primordial Star who could persuade these evil demons to reform.
Allowing these demons to exist will put some pressure on the witch tribes on earth; otherwise, they would have no motivation to grow stronger.
The spirits were incredibly excited to be able to ascend to the Heavenly Court; it was an opportunity that countless people longed for.
"Bamboo! Foxes! Cranes! Elephants... Not bad, not bad, our Heavenly Court is finally getting lively!" Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the spirits running around in the Heavenly Court.
"Ye Xi, I remember that there are fairy maidens temporarily managing the thirty-six palaces and seventy-two halls. You can have them each adopt some and take them back, so they won't be lonely!" After admiring the sights, Ye Chen said to Ye Xi beside him. He couldn't really let these spirits run wild in the Heavenly Court without any worries, could he? Did they really think this was paradise?
"Okay!" Ye Xi nodded and sent someone to make the arrangements.
Soon these spirits were gathered together, nervously watching the rows of celestial soldiers and fairies walking by, awaiting their fate.
Seeing that the group of spirits had been properly taken care of, Ye Chen stopped paying attention to them and took out all the items he had obtained at the trade fair.
"I remember there should still be some Life Essence in the warehouse, go and get some!" The seeds of all things need Water of Life, but what if we used Life Essence instead? Wouldn't that allow us to grow even better life?
Ye Chen didn't know, but since he had plenty of resources, it was worth a try.
To this end, he specially took a small piece of white ivory and made several ivory flowerpots. He planted the five seeds in them and poured in the life essence one by one. The five seeds immediately sprouted tender shoots at a speed visible to the naked eye and grew rapidly.
It grew until it reached two meters in height before gradually stopping. Then, a flower bud appeared on a newly sprouted branch and quickly grew stronger.
"It can't grow in a day, can it?" Ye Chen was startled. However, the flower bud stopped growing when it reached the size of a fist. The white flower bud looked very delicate, but it didn't seem to want to bloom. Obviously, it would take some more time.
Ye Chen looked at it for a while and found it boring, so he put it aside and turned his attention to the bloodline crystals on the table.
