Parasite (Gu) Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from the love-enamored Gu

Chapter 1174: Chapter 426: The Centennial Transformation of Fengxi Island, 300 Billion Population, Embryo of the Eighth Stage Spirit Vein_3 Chapter 1174: Chapter 426: The Centennial Transformation of Fengxi Island, 300 Billion Population, Embryo of the Eighth Stage Spirit Vein_3 The rate of human reproduction is simply too fast.

But perhaps this is the normal rate of reproduction.

If the Human clan had no external threats and did not experience population loss due to wars, there would no telling how many humans there would be by now.

“Right, the population on the island is just too much.”

“But the size of Fengxi Island is only so big.”

“It’s said that in a few hundred years, the population could break a trillion.”

“That’s why the price of houses on Fengxi Island is getting more and more expensive.”

“Fortunately, when we were young, we bit the bullet and took out a loan to buy a house.”

“That’s why we have a house to live in.”

“Otherwise, with the current housing prices getting more expensive, where could we afford to live?”

Zou Yi’s father said with much emotion.

When he was young, he found houses to be expensive, but decades later, he realized that the houses back then were too cheap.

Now the houses are truly expensive.

The average Cultivator probably can’t even afford the down payment and might have to rent a place to live.

“Isn’t it so? I’ve heard that compared to before, the price of houses has gone up more than tenfold.”

“But never mind, after the City Lord learned of this, he plans to build more high-rise buildings.”

“Perhaps in the future, there will be many buildings over a hundred stories tall, where each family lives within these towers.”

Zou Yi’s mother said with a slight smile.

She wasn’t the least bit worried about the scarcity of land on Fengxi Island; it was nothing more than a false issue to her.

As long as they continuously construct hundred-story buildings, there will always be room to accommodate countless Cultivators.

And if that is not enough, they can simply add more floors.

Just keep adding until enough.

“Father, Mother, if that’s the case, will we still have enough Spiritual Energy for cultivation?”

“With so many people living together, how could there be enough Spiritual Energy to go around?”

Zou Yi furrowed his brow.

He felt this was highly improper.

After all, a neighborhood inhabited by hundreds of thousands or millions of people is truly an exaggeration.

If everyone cultivated, how much Spiritual Energy would be needed?

You see, the reason the Human clan needs to constantly expand cities is not that the cities cannot accommodate more people.

It’s because a Seventh Stage Spirit Vein cannot support a greater number of Cultivators.

After all, there is only so much Spiritual Energy in a Seventh Stage Spirit Vein, and if there are too many people, it will inevitably dilute the amount of nature’s Spiritual Energy each Cultivator can obtain, thus lowering the speed of cultivation for everyone.

So, there’s a limit to the number of Cultivators a Spirit Vein can support; it can’t just keep increasing endlessly.

Of course, if you don’t cultivate, it doesn’t matter.

But how could you possibly not cultivate?

“Oh, my son seems to have grown up, thinking about such issues.”

“Your studies at the Dao Academy seem to be paying off.”

Hearing this, Zou Yi’s father looked at his son with satisfaction. He had assumed his son was just a playful child but was surprised that he could consider such profound issues.

This was something not every twelve-year-old could think about.

Honestly, it showed that his son had a certain level of insight.

“The principle is actually quite simple.”

“The reason each house doesn’t lack Spiritual Energy”

“Is because Array Masters have installed a Spirit Gathering Array in every building, in every home.”

“Each house has a Spiritual Energy pipeline, and the vast nature’s Spiritual Energy is delivered to each house through the Array pipeline, making each house a Cave Mansion.”

“Otherwise, how could houses sell for such high prices?”

Zou Yi’s father explained the principle with a slight smile.

“I see.”

Hearing this, Zou Yi had an epiphany; surely this was an ingeniously designed method.

While high-rise buildings would distribute the local nature’s Spiritual Energy, if the distribution is managed through an Array, delivering the Spiritual Energy to thousands of households through Array pipelines,

This would not only ensure higher efficiency in using Spiritual Energy but also ensure that each household had an ample supply.

In a way, it was somewhat akin to the principle of running water.

That’s why so many Human Cultivators were willing to live in high-rises.

As long as they had abundant Spiritual Energy where they lived, the size of the place didn’t really matter.

“However, Father, even so, there’s still a finite amount of Spiritual Energy in a Spirit Vein.”

“Even if it can be distributed through an Array.”

“Over time, won’t there still be a shortage of Spiritual Energy?”

Zou Yi felt that this was a temporary solution, not addressing the root cause.

You could distribute it among thousands of families, but the amount of Spiritual Energy was finite; as the population grew, the amount of Spiritual Energy each person could get would decrease.

Sooner or later, Fengxi Island’s resources would collapse due to overpopulation.

Of course, there were solutions to this problem, like exploring new islands and finding new Seventh Stage Spirit Veins.

But in doing so, many people would surely die.

Every time a new area was developed, a large population would be lost.

In fact, if nobody died, by now, the population of the Human clan in the Shattered Star Sea would be unimaginable.

He thought this was the inevitable path of the Human clan in the Shattered Star Sea, something no one could avoid.

“That’s true, this problem does exist.”

“If it were the old days, our Human clan could only open up new islands and look for new Spirit Veins.”

“But now it’s different; Patriarch Zhou has already found a solution for us.”

Zou Yi’s father said with a slight smile.

“A solution? What solution?”
