Seed of the 558 Star System
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rang Duo knew he couldn't keep the "Divine Blood" to himself.
Moreover, this galaxy has an instinctive aversion and rejection towards Wu Xu; bringing his blood in could turn a non-issue into a problem.
So, the Rang Duo divided the "Divine Blood" into small jars and gave most of it to the highest bidder.
Only then did he order the warships to enter the "Heliosphere".
This boundary was merely a thin membrane of light, allowing the warship to easily penetrate it.
The crew members stared at the sun with extreme tension, fearing a Gamma Ray Burst.
Only by Rang Duo calm and composed during any disturbance can one be certain that nothing will happen.
This so-called "Star System Defense" is actually just a stress response from corpses, something even worse than artificial intelligence, only capable of repelling specific targets.
Otherwise, the two spies sent by Wu Xu would have died a thousand times over.
Sure enough, the warships cruised through the star system without the sun showing any reaction.
The crew gradually relaxed, and the captain increased the speed to 10% of the speed of light, quickly catching up with Wu Xu's "Neutron Star".
Even on a cosmic scale, this thing is an extremely explosive existence, making even Rang Duo tremble with fear.
Fortunately, no supernatural influence was applied, and its speed was only slightly more than 1% of the speed of light. It was quickly overtaken by the warship and left far behind.
Seeing that their scouting mission had gone unnoticed, the invaders gathered outside the "Heliosphere" became restless and launched a series of attacks, sending their warships in.
At 10% the speed of light, it would only take 6 days to reach Blue Star.

At the same time, Lu Li was studying the scriptures passed down from Qiu Sheng and the Immortal Palace.
To break through to the Yang God, one needs to condense a planet with its own spiritual energy within the spiritual realm—that is, a true world.
Previously, Wu Xu displayed his power by using the mass and gravity of planets to "pluck stars from the sky."
This is the true power of heaven and earth, which is referred to in ancient texts as the "Primordial Simplicity Power".
That which has form arises from the formless; from where did heaven and earth come into being? It is said: Primordial Ease, Primordial Beginning, Great Origin, Primordial Simplicity...
Simply put, it's the process of the Big Bang and the formation of numerous celestial bodies.
With the knowledge of Blue Star Cloud Study from Earth corroborated by his own, Lu Li grasped it very quickly.
He even repeatedly offered guidance to Qiu Sheng, helping this "ancient man" answer his questions and resolve his doubts.
Once you understand the principles, you must ultimately translate them into practical application.
How to "create the world" is not difficult to explain.
Imitating the Big Bang, create an incredibly dazzling supernova explosion in the spiritual realm, and aggregate matter into planets.
Of course, it will be very difficult to do in practice.
What does the planet look like? What is its diameter? What is its mass?
How is the atmosphere arranged? What are its rotational speed and angle? How is the generation of the "spirit" ensured?
If any one of these numerous issues is not addressed properly, the created planet will become a "Dead Star" with a harsh environment, resulting in a waste of effort.
In response to this situation, our ancestors have already provided the answer—copy it.
Just like learning calligraphy, you must first "copy" the works of famous calligraphers.
And right now, there is a ready-made life-bearing planet to refer to: the Blue Star we are standing on.
Not only are the samples perfect, but they are also familiar and welcoming, making it much more efficient to get things done.
Presumably, it was for this reason that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan copied Blue Star and even the Solar System.
Thinking further, if Shao Hao were to recreate the Solar System in this universe... wouldn't that be helping the galaxy to branch out and flourish?
"Plants and animals rely on reproduction to spread their genes, while Cultivator are the seeds of the galaxy."
Lu Li suddenly had this thought... He and Qiu Sheng also planned to copy Blue Star, and then the Solar System would follow, which in a sense would be equivalent to the branching out of this This Universe.
"Interesting."
After a moment's thought wandered, Lu Li shook his head and refocused on the important matter at hand.
Although there are references, the difficulty has not completely disappeared.
Even a slight rise or fall in sea level can have a huge impact on the global environment, and there's still a lot to be done.
The Immortal Palace also sent countless data points, helping to calculate the distance that new planets needed to maintain under "Artificial Sun" of various sizes, as well as how they would revolve and rotate.
The real sun has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers and a volume 1.3 million times that of Blue Star.
Lu Li and Qiu Sheng couldn't recreate it no matter what they tried, so they could only try to imitate it.
This, in turn, involves the issue of their cultivation levels.
Breaking through to the Yang God requires a spiritual realm of one million kilometers, Qiu Sheng just met that requirement.
After absorbing Yahweh and Satan, Lu Li arrived at 800,000 kilometers, just a little short.
But this is just the minimum; to truly break through, the bigger the better.
So, in addition to their meditation, the two also had to find ways to open up their Sea of Consciousness and expand their spiritual realm, keeping them extremely busy.
Six days later, Lu Li had thoroughly understood all the knowledge on paper.
With the opening of the Kunlun Mirror and the Heart Image, the spiritual realm has also expanded by 30,000 kilometers.
The harvest should have been considerable, but Lu Li frowned slightly...
If things continue like this, he'll barely reach the breakthrough standard in two months, and the success rate won't be very high.
Perhaps Wu Xu wouldn't even need to lift a finger; he would simply shatter his own Sea of Consciousness.
Lu Li looked towards Qiu Sheng... who also had a worried expression.
Taking the shortcut of Spirit-Flesh Unity without an undying will and mind will only lead to greater failure.
But fortunately, having swallowed a planet, Qiu Sheng still had some confidence:
"I plan to break through on the 40th day, and I estimate there's a 50% chance."
This was done with a margin of error; if she failed and perished, Lu Li would have ample time to learn from her mistakes, summarize his experiences, and incidentally devour the spirit realm of the loser as well.
Qiu Sheng received a planet for free; this was his reward. Though unspoken, everything was understood.
Lu Li said sincerely, "I wish you a successful start and a complete success."
"Thank you for your kind words Immortal Venerable Lu."
Qiu Sheng said with a smile, but the next second the two of them changed their expressions and looked up at the sky together.
Just then, the Immortal Palace also reminded them:
[The fleet of the Primal Divine Kingdom is attacking! The commander is called "Star Seed," and possesses the strength of a Thunder Tribulation or Martial Saint. You two...]
Without these two, we simply couldn't hold them off, but going out to clean up would delay the progress.
"Star Seed?"
This name matches what I just thought of, Lu Li said with interest:
"I'll handle it. I prefer learning through practice to studying in seclusion."
With the Kunlun Mirror constantly being opened up, Lu Li does not need to "retreat into seclusion".
The Immortal Palace, naturally aware of the situation, immediately replied:
[Then I'll leave it to you. Go to Europa; you'll be able to intercept them there!]
Europa, the second closest moon to Jupiter.
Lu Li nodded, and immediately soared into the sky.
