100,000?

Or is it a planet inhabited?

As a gift upon meeting?

Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.

He subconsciously looked at Thousand Illusions's smiling face, his brain almost stopping at that moment.

Not only Lin Yi, but even the well-informed Cang Ming couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Third Senior Sister is still so exaggerated."

Even the usually composed Xuanshu showed obvious surprise on his face, and a slight fluctuation flashed in Bingling's cold eyes.

Only the eldest brother Prison Suppressor and the second sister Henghuan seemed to have anticipated Thousand Illusions's astonishing move, and their expressions did not change much.

"Third Senior Sister?"

Lin Yi's voice was a little dry.

He was well aware of the true value of habitable planets in the vast ocean of stars.

Even though the universe is boundless, life-bearing planets that can naturally nurture intelligent life, have suitable environments, abundant resources, and can be directly colonized and developed without large-scale ecological modification remain the core strategic resources that all Interstellar Civilization compete for. They are the foundation for the continuation and growth of civilizations and are extremely rare.

As far as he knew, before being suppressed by hostile forces, the allied Xina Family, as an old Star Domain level family with a long history and profound heritage within the Spirit Race, had a total of only about 15,000 inhabited planets under its control at its peak.

That was already a vast foundation sufficient to support the glorious development of a powerful Star Domain level force.

And the Third Senior Sister, Thousand Illusions, this Eternal Divinity who wields the power of illusion, casually uttered a single sentence: 100,000!

This represents almost all the assets of the Xina Family on their seven most prosperous planets.

While the sheer number of inhabited planets cannot be used to fully measure the comprehensive strength of a Star Domain level family, the material foundation, living space, and development potential represented by these 100,000 inhabited planets alone are already far beyond the imagination of Lin Yi, and even most leaders of star-sea civilizations.

This was no longer just a timely help; it was like handing over a resource-rich region of the Star Sea as a gift to him and the Silver Blue Civilization.

This made him very excited.

A planet with 100,000 inhabitants!

This is not just a wealth that cannot be measured in numbers, but also a path that paves a virtually unhindered rise for the Silver Blue Civilization.

With such a vast living space and endless development resources, the potential of the Silver Blue Civilization will be unleashed like never before.

Population, technology, culture, military—everything will experience explosive growth.

Opportunity!

As expected, it was something Ninth Senior Brother had repeatedly reminded me of before.

An incredible opportunity!

"What? You think I didn't give you enough? Or do you think I'm joking and using illusion magic to trick you?"

Thousand Illusions blinked her beautiful eyes, which were enough to captivate all beings, and revealed a slightly teasing expression.

"No! No! Senior sister, I..."

Lin Yi suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure.

He forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions and solemnly bowed to Thousand Illusions, saying, "Lin Yi, on behalf of Silver Blue Civilization, thanks Third Senior Sister for her generous gift."

Thousand Illusions watched Lin Yi's barely contained excitement, yet his effort to maintain composure only grew brighter with a smile.

With a casual wave of her hand, a crystal token, its entire body flowing with a dreamlike seven-colored halo, and seemingly containing countless stars in their birth and death, floated lightly in front of Lin Yi.

"Look closely. This is the projection of the 'Sovereign Coordinates Order' for the eastern region of that star system."

Thousand Illusions's tone remained relaxed, "It already contains detailed three-dimensional star map coordinates of those 100,000 inhabited planets, optimal space jump navigation beacons, and undisputed permanent property transfer contracts notarized by the Pan-Spirit Alliance."

She paused, then continued, "A detailed list of star system coordinates, complete ownership authentication keys, and supreme management authority instructions will later be encrypted and sent directly to your Intelligent Life's core database via the highest-authority network of the Human Race, ensuring that only you can access and access them."

"The sovereignty certification documents for the physical star system, the symbolic scepter, and the initial management terminal will be escorted by a special envoy delegation dispatched by the Civilization Affairs Division under the Human Race Supreme Council to the capital star of the Silver Blue Civilization, where a handover ceremony will be held with the civilization representative you designate, as a sign of solemnity."

"Oh, by the way, I'm always very thorough in my work. These planets I've given you are all already partially developed and equipped with standard planetary ecosystem maintenance systems and planetary defense matrices capable of withstanding regular meteorite impacts and low-intensity energy storms. I'll also give you the activation keys and maintenance manuals for these facilities."

Lin Yi was speechless and could only bow in gratitude once more.

At this point, all the senior brothers and sisters, from Ninth Senior Brother Cang Ming to Third Senior Sister Thousand Illusions, had finished presenting their gifts.

Each gift was incredibly precious and highly targeted, covering almost every aspect for Lin Yi, from spatial awareness, protection, stability, breaking through barriers with violence, and security to the foundation of civilization.

Finally, everyone's gaze on the Star Banquet Platform, including Thousand Illusions who had just presented such an astonishing gift, turned with a hint of curiosity and a faint expectation to the eldest brother, Prison Suppressor, who had remained silent until now, sitting quietly like the Incarnation of the starry sky.

As the chief disciple of his sect and Eternal Divinity who wields the Space Law, what kind of gift will he offer to his junior brother who has chosen the same path as him?

This final, grand finale is undoubtedly the most anticipated.

Prison Suppressor slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze falling on Lin Yi, and then a bitter smile with a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

He glanced at Thousand Illusions, who was smiling sweetly, shook his head, and said in a calm tone, though with a hint of teasing:

"Junior sister, your actions have put me in a bit of a dilemma."

Upon hearing this, Thousand Illusions not only did not restrain herself, but smiled even more brightly, with a hint of smugness in her eyes.

She deliberately dragged out her words and laughed, "Senior Brother~~~ You are the pillar of our sect, in charge of the Space Law. Even a little something slipping through your fingers would be enough for Junior Brother to enjoy endlessly. How could it be difficult? Could it be that you are unwilling to give Junior Brother any benefits?"

Prison Suppressor didn't respond to her words, but instead turned his gaze back to Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi."

"Senior Brother!" Lin Yi immediately suppressed all distracting thoughts and responded respectfully.

"Your third senior sister is very wealthy, with businesses spanning many star regions, so she's naturally generous."

The Prison Suppressor spoke slowly, his tone calm and revealing neither joy nor anger, "Unlike her, I spend most of my time guarding the Sin Prison, rarely having time to engage in outside business. I can only occasionally earn a meager living, and my family is quite poor."

Upon hearing this, Thousand Illusions couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even Cang Ming's lips twitched.

If an Eternal Divinity were to say that he is "poor," it would shock countless people.

But those who know Prison Suppressor's character understand that he wasn't just being polite; he was stating a fact.

"Therefore," Prison Suppressor continued, "Since I can't offer such a generous gift as 100,000 life-bearing planets, I can only sell my labor."

Selling manual labor?

An Eternal Divinity doing hard labor?

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition of something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Prison Suppressor pondered for a moment, seemingly considering his words, before saying, "Master just mentioned that he attaches great importance to the Silver Blue Civilization of your homeland, saying that its core has great potential. It seems that a civilization that can nurture a disciple of your character and also catch Master's eye must have its unique strengths."

Then, he changed the subject, "Lin Yi, since you've chosen the Space Rule and are aiming for the long term, then I'll make a deal with you."

"If you can successfully integrate the two great rules of metal and life, and step into the Dual Domain, within fifty to a hundred years, advance your understanding of the Space Rule to ten percent, that is, reach the general threshold of Star Vortex level cultivator's Rule Comprehension, and initially establish a stable framework for the Space Rule."

"At that time, you can contact me. I will personally take action to move your home planet, and the entire star system that gave birth to your civilization, directly from its current remote location to the Core Zone of the star system that your third senior sister gave you, a star system with 100,000 inhabitants."

"In this way, not only can we avoid the long migration of civilizations spanning over 100,000 years, but we can also largely preserve the cosmic environment and characteristics of the civilization."

Move the entire star system!

Upon hearing this, not only was Lin Yi completely stunned, but even Thousand Illusions, who had been smiling all along, showed a hint of surprise on her face.

If it were simply a matter of moving stars, it would be no difficult task for any being at the World Derivation level or above present.

However, to precisely and stably move an entire star system, teeming with intelligent civilization, from one corner of the universe across countless light-years to another designated coordinate, requires an astonishingly high level of mastery over the Space Law.

The slightest carelessness could lead to gravitational imbalance in the star system, disruption of stellar orbits, and even catastrophic consequences such as stellar explosions and planetary disintegration.

This is by no means a simple case of "great force producing miracles," but rather a true pinnacle of spatial control, a mastery so exquisite that it reaches the very essence of perfection.

Lin Yi's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

Would you move your entire hometown, along with the sun, the moon, and that familiar starry sky, right next to your new home?

This... this is simply mythical power.

So, the sun, which we originally had to abandon, has returned?

In Lin Yi's mind, this was not just about saving time, but also about completely resolving the biggest risks and uncertainties in the process of civilization migration, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the core of civilization.

In some ways, the value of this "gift" even surpasses that of 100,000 inhabited planets.

Because it protects the roots of civilization.

However, Prison Suppressor had not finished speaking.

"And during this teleportation," he looked at Lin Yi, his deep eyes seeming to hold countless spatial dimensions in flux, "You can stay by my side the entire time."

As he spoke, Prison Suppressor slowly raised a hand, his fingertips seemingly drawing invisible threads through the surrounding space. "I will show you directly how I use the laws of space to construct a colossal spatial passage spanning the cosmos, and how I maintain the absolute stability of a massive celestial system while traversing space."

"These firsthand experiences can clear away many fogs on your path, imprinting the traces of Space Law deep within your soul, and providing tremendous guidance for your future cultivation of Space Rule."

Prison Suppressor looked at Lin Yi and calmly asked, "Are you willing to accept this agreement?"

Upon hearing Prison Suppressor's words, an eerie silence fell over the Star Banquet Platform.

Even though everyone present was knowledgeable and highly skilled, they were still quite shocked by the way their senior brother "worked hard".

To directly relocate an entire star system that harbors intelligent civilization!

They understood the difficulties and costs involved far better than Lin Yi.

This is far from a simple matter of space transport; it requires consideration of the stability of a star's gravitational field, the precise replication of planetary orbits, and the fragile balance of the ecosystem. The amount of computational complexity and the precision of force control involved are terrifying.

Even for Eternal Divinity, accomplishing this task and ensuring its absolute success would require an immense expenditure of mental energy and primordial divine power; it is by no means an easy feat.

Third Senior Sister Thousand Illusions was the first to react. Her beautiful face flashed with extreme surprise, then, as if her limelight had been stolen, she complained with a hint of coquettishness, "Senior Brother, can't you let me have my way? I finally managed to show off in front of Junior Brother, and you turn around and pull out this kind of move. Aren't you deliberately trying to outdo me? You're putting in way too much effort in this 'labor' of moving the star system."

However, despite her complaints, there was no real dissatisfaction in her eyes.

As she spoke, Thousand Illusions turned to look at Lin Yi without waiting for Prison Suppressor's response, as if afraid that he would not understand the astonishing significance of this gift.

In a tone that seemed to be undermining him but was actually pointing out the key point, he said, "Junior brother, don't be fooled by senior brother's nonchalant manner. The trip he made for you was far from easy."

She extended her slender fingers and listed the points one by one. "First, locking onto and enveloping a distant, complex star system requires an enormous amount of divine thought and power. Second, constructing a stable spatial channel capable of carrying the entire star system across ultra-long distances is more difficult and costly than transporting tens of thousands of fleets together."

Thousand Illusions pointed to Lin Yi last, emphasizing, "The most crucial thing is that he also has to keep an eye on you the whole time, ensuring you can safely and clearly experience the entire process."

"It's like what? It's like a top craftsman carving a unique and fragile treasure, while simultaneously having to spare half his attention to provide meticulous on-site instruction to his apprentice, explaining every technique and point of attention step by step."

"This is more than twice as difficult as him doing a single relocation on his own. The mental effort required is immeasurable!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. How could he not understand the significance of this?

He instantly recalled the information he had received when he bought the warship.

At that time, just applying to borrow the Divine Kingdom passage under the command of an Eternal Divinity who cultivated the Space Law through the Human Race Chamber of Commerce to conduct a small-scale teleportation of inanimate objects cost tens of millions of Star Crystal!

And this was only by using a fixed passage; it wasn't the deity personally intervening.

Now, the eldest brother, Prison Suppressor, an Eternal Divinity whose attainments in Space Rule are perhaps even deeper, is personally involved, expending all his divine power and mental energy to move an entire complex and vibrant star system, while also having to protect and teach him.

The value represented by this is beyond Lin Yi's imagination and cannot be measured in Star Crystal.

This is entirely a matter of personal favor and the bond between master and disciple; it is priceless.

Therefore, how could Lin Yi possibly refuse this agreement?

To comprehend 10% of the most difficult overarching rules of Space Rule within a century is a goal that may be very challenging for others.

However, Lin Yi was confident that with his talent, coupled with the assistance of treasures such as the "Void Shadow-Escape Shuttle," he could definitely complete the task.

Therefore, Lin Yi directly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Lin Yi thanks Senior Brother. I accept this agreement."

Faced with Thousand Illusions's sabotage and Lin Yi's gratitude, Prison Suppressor simply waved his hand calmly.

"No need for thanks yet," he said calmly. "Whether this agreement can be fulfilled is still uncertain. If, a hundred years from now, you haven't comprehended ten percent of the Space Rule and haven't achieved the agreed-upon goal..."

He paused slightly, then gave Lin Yi a clear backup plan. "Then, this agreement is null and void. At that time, I will give you something of equal value based on your cultivation progress and actual needs. It might be some kind of spatial treasure, or it might be an opportunity to answer your questions. I will definitely not let you leave empty-handed."

Prison Suppressor spoke these words calmly, yet they possessed a convincing power.

Clearly, as a gift from the senior brother to the junior brother, it wouldn't be a loss regardless of whether the agreement was fulfilled or not.

"But if you," Prison Suppressor continued, "Truly live up to expectations and achieve your goal within a century, then I will act as promised and directly relocate your home star system to the core, fertile region of the star field with 100,000 inhabitants that your third senior sister gifted to you."

He specifically emphasized the "core rich region," which means that Blue Star and its star system will be located in that vast area of energy resources and the best location, and its development potential will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Finally, Prison Suppressor seemed to have thought of something and added, "As for the settlement area that your Silver Blue Civilization originally obtained from the Purple Gold Star Union, you don't need to worry about the follow-up issues. At that time, I will personally explain the situation to Ming Luo. All the treatment and rights on the Purple Gold Star Union side will not change due to the change of your home planet's relocation location. This is my guarantee to you."

Ming Luo!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

This is the only publicly known Eternal Divinity of the Purple Gold Star Union, and the chairman of the Star Union Executive Committee.

The eldest brother actually said directly, "Explain the situation to Ming Luo," his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Lin Yi immediately deduced that Senior Brother Prison Suppressor's status and influence were at least higher than that of Ming Luo, the president of the Star Union Executive Committee.

"Senior brother, you've already 'said hello' to President Ming Luo. How could the Silver Blue Civilization's position within the Purple Gold Star Union possibly remain unchanged?"

Lin Yi thought to himself.

"It will definitely change, but it won't go lower; it will go higher!"
