"How many people?" Chu Hongjun asked.
"As long as they are Earth people, any number will do," Lin Qing laughed and said, "But the debt must be repaid within ten thousand years."
Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "Then there’s no problem."
Beside him, Qi Lingxiao asked curiously, "Why can’t Level 2 Civilizations obtain Starry Sky Source Stones?"
"I only recently found out,"
Lin Qing recalled the information he retrieved through Stars Group and explained, "This is a restriction after opening the Void Secret Realm, perhaps also a rule of the Void Sea. Any life born in the Void Secret Realm cannot take the Starry Sky Source Stones out of the realm, otherwise, it will transform into Source Power and blend into the realm, becoming resources for the expansion and growth of the realm."
He shook his head and said, "So... for Level 2 Civilizations, Starry Sky Source Stones can only be used within the realm for the Awakening of citizens and for the growth of the realm. They cannot be used for trade."
Chu Hongjun realized this and said softly, "Indeed... it is a naturally monopolized resource."
"Only civilizations at Level 2.9 can bypass this restriction. Those scattered Starry Sky Source Stones are also distributed by Level 2.9 Civilizations."
Lin Qing said, "However, Level 2.9 Civilizations don’t even care about other Level 2 Civilizations, let alone assisting some Level 1 Civilizations to develop into Level 2 Civilizations. Moreover, it’s said that the number of Void Secret Realms a Void Sea can accommodate is limited, so Level 2.9 Civilizations won’t deliberately create Level 2 Civilizations. That’s why Starry Sky Source Stones have become a monopolized resource inaccessible to Level 1 Civilizations."
The three of them pondered.
So this is the truth.
Lin Qing smiled and said, "But for Primordial Realm, with only the Vacuum Tomb left, it doesn’t care about this point. As long as there is a Tomb Guardian to guarantee, providing Starry Sky Source Stones is no big deal."
He paused, "But if the debt is not repaid within ten thousand years, then I’ll be responsible, and the interest will keep compounding."
"As long as the development goes well, it won’t be unpayable."
Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly and said, "With sufficient resources and Starry Sky Source Stones, it will take at most just a few decades to gather a trillion Power Awakened. However, to accumulate 38 billion tons of Starry Sky Source Stones, it still requires a thousand-year time period, so if we want to accelerate, more Power Awakened and more resource consumption are necessary."
Lin Qing laughed and said, "Don’t worry, this amount of resources is nothing to me."
Back then, with resources comparable to the cost of an Initial Rank Void Ship, Earth could gradually develop a trillion Power Awakened and sustain them for thousands of years.
And an Initial Rank Void Ship costs only two to three million Void Coins.
He can now mobilize resources worth billions of Void Coins!
Even if the accelerated development consumes resources ten times or a hundred times more, it’s still insignificant for him.
A few billion Void Coins spent on resources would be more than enough.
"Then let’s give the Earth Civilization a hundred years,"
Lin Qing said, "In a hundred years, developing tens of trillions of Power Awakened and accumulating 38 billion tons of Starry Sky Source Stones should be no problem, right?"
"More than sufficient," Chu Hongjun nodded slightly.
With the removal of resource and environmental constraints, the population growth rate can theoretically be incredibly rapid, not to mention if the embryo development and growth rate can be increased, it would be even more extraordinary.
What are tens of trillions of people anyway?
For a Level 2 Civilization, the limiting factor on population is the speed at which the secret realm absorbs energy from the Void Sea, so the more advanced the Void Secret Realm, the larger the population.
But even a newly born Void Secret Realm can easily support hundreds of trillions or even more people.
Lin Qing showed a trace of smile and said, "A century from now, the Void Sea will witness the emergence of a new Level 2 Civilization."
Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "I’ll initiate it once the plan is ready, and we’ll succeed within a century."
