Apart from this large-scale method of migration,
members of the Shepherd Civilization were also capable of making short-distance jumps between stars.
The range of each jump varied according to the strength of the individual, from several light-seconds to dozens of light-minutes.
The number of jumps they could sustain ranged from dozens to hundreds.
This method of jumping took a significant toll on members of the Shepherd Civilization.
Therefore, throughout the void of this habitable planetary belt,
there were numerous small space cities.
They were there to let members of the Shepherd Civilization replenish their energy while making longer-distance jumps."
As soon as Gao Luanqin finished speaking, Wu Baiyi raised a question. "In other words, without relying on the ebb and flow of Tidal Spiritual Energy,
members of the Shepherd Civilization don't have any conventional means of traveling long distances between stars?"
"Correct!"
Gao Luanqin replied with certainty.
"Then how did members of the Shepherd Civilization, who lacked any conventional means of long-distance interstellar travel, move those habitable planets scattered across different star domains into the same one?"
Wu Baiyi continued.
"By using Tidal Spiritual Energy to move the marked habitable planets intact to a particular region of space."
Gao Luanqin answered, then elaborated.
"Although members of the Shepherd Civilization themselves lack any conventional means of long-distance interstellar travel,
they have mastered multiple methods of medium- and long-distance transportation through their use of Tidal Spiritual Energy.
For example, they can teleport by using a fellow member as a beacon.
Or they can perform a certain locating ritual, using the sacrifice of intelligent life, to teleport.
And so on."
Wu Baiyi understood.
"Can our Space Lock interfere with the Shepherd Civilization's teleportation?"
Shi Zunhou quickly followed up with another question.
"Although it relies on Tidal Spiritual Energy, teleportation itself still falls under
