Chapter 461: 461: When in doubt, seek out the Taoist Ancestor.

[National War] When it reached the top eight, a total of 9 billion Spirit Stones were awarded globally.

With the reserves of Spirit Stones, the major family clans that were eliminated early began investing resources to strengthen their own families.

Through this National War, they felt the vast gap between Cultivators.

So, without waiting for the National War event to end, family clans both large and small, such as Little Sun, Touguo, New Jiapo, Europe, and others with Foundation Establishment Cultivators at their core, began the second round of planetary exploration.

Last time, there were about 50 teams going out, but this time, with the digestion of a large number of Breakthrough Pills, the global number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had reached 100,000.

Under such scale, apart from the Cultivators from the top eight countries, nearly 1,000 teams were organized by families from countries already eliminated to explore planets.

Even many Loose Cultivators who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage with the investment of resources from these large family clans allied privately, seeking to create a better future for their own families.

The world’s top ten spaceship companies successively received more orders from Foundation Establishment Cultivators to build ships.

Last time, since there were only a few thousand at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the market volume for spaceship companies worldwide didn’t increase much.

But they were very patient.

They had absolute confidence in the future market.

And see, didn’t the orders skyrocket?

Almost every Foundation Establishment Cultivator had ordered a spaceship for themselves.

The world’s top ten spaceship companies all received orders ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

The Touguo Zheng family’s brand, due to sponsoring other Foundation Establishment Cultivators for interstellar flight in the first round, had a very strong brand effect.

Last time, out of the more than 4,000 spaceship orders globally, they received 1,600, with revenues of 32 billion US Dollars.

Now they had received 25,000 spaceship orders.

At a price of 20 million US Dollars each, the revenue reached a sales height of 500 billion US Dollars this time.

This almost broke the historical sales record of all enterprises in Touguo.

With a 30% profit margin, the net revenue was 150 billion US Dollars!

The Zheng family owned a 20% stake, equivalent to them earning 30 billion US Dollars this time!

This move directly made the other four consortium families envy.

You know, even the entire fortune of Touguo’s richest, the Li family, didn’t total 30 billion US Dollars!

Yet the Zheng family had earned 30 billion US Dollars just from spaceship business orders in the first quarter!

This was indeed something to envy and be jealous of.

However, among them, Li Hao was also a beneficiary.

It was he who had originally sought out Liu Jin to help the Zheng family connect with Xu Dong, and then the Zheng family was able to get one of the global ten spaceship licenses.

To thank Li Hao, the Zheng family gave him 2% equity in the spaceship company.

That was equivalent to Li Hao also earning 3 billion US Dollars this time!

This allowed him to once again outstrip his peers from the other wealthy families in Touguo, making him a diamond bachelor who could be proud even without relying on the Li family.

As more and more Foundation Establishment Cultivators were born and spaceships became widely used,

two major projects also gradually became active.

One was the [Cosmic Transmission] company.

With a standard charge of one Spirit Stone per use, currently, with tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators frequently transmitting between various planets in the universe and Earth, the company earned 120,000 Spirit Stones per day.

The other project that became active was Dragon Nation’s Three Oil [Solar Nuclear Fusion Energy] department.

As spaceships were massively deployed in the universe, the use of [nuclear fusion energy] gradually increased.

This allowed the Three Oil department to see a continuous rise in profits, developing steadily towards the planned expectations.

It could be said that with the supply and input of Spirit Stones, the entire cultivation civilization ecology chain operated by Gu Feng was invigorated.

Everything was developing according to the layout he had planned.

He did not feel that the 30 billion Spirit Stones rewarded from this National War were excessive.

In fact, considering the nearly 200 million Cultivators worldwide, just their daily consumption of nutrients alone would be at least 200 million Spirit Stones.

Worldwide, the annual consumption of Spirit Stones could reach 80 billion!

Therefore, population growth would become the most critical policy for all countries.

As long as they weren’t foolish, they could figure this out through the data.

Only by growing the population could they increase the Spirit Stones produced from the annual National War.

Thus meeting the daily Spirit Stone consumption per capita.

And even have a surplus to be used as currency to facilitate the trade of goods.

But regarding population growth, countries worldwide weren’t blindly optimistic; they couldn’t help but worry.

The experts from various countries said, "Perhaps humanity doesn’t need to worry about energy, but land might become a problem!"

This was not alarmist talk.

They had conducted many studies and found that with a ratio of one Cultivator born for every ten people, if the global population increased by 1 billion per year, there might only be 100 million Cultivators, and among these 100 million Cultivators, perhaps only 1 million could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage and leave Earth in their lifetime.

The rest, be they Cultivators or ordinary people incapable of cultivation, would all have to live out their loneliness on Earth, thus occupying population land resources!

At this point, one might ask, why not let people emigrate?

This involves a core issue, which is that a child born to a normal pair of Cultivation partners cannot naturally reach the Foundation Establishment Stage!

If they were born in outer space or another star system, without the living conditions of Earth, the infants would die at birth.

After all, not everyone’s child can have an Innate Nascent Soul Body like Gu Qingxue.

If in the future, offspring of Cultivation couples could all be above the Foundation Establishment Stage, it truly wouldn’t be necessary to keep raising the next generation on Earth, which would not consume the population quota.

But this is not realistic!

At least only children born from a Divinity Transformation-level couple or above might naturally be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but such pairings are certainly only exceptions in the Cultivation World.

That’s why Earth is the cradle of civilization, and why Gu Feng set up the grand formation.

Because any departing Cultivator, most of their offspring, would return to Earth to procreate!

Under these conditions, Earth will indeed face issues of population density and insufficient land in the future.

Not to mention Touguo and Little Sun, as well as small territory countries like Monaco, who, due to insufficient land, find it difficult to increase their population growth.

Faced with this problem, representatives from these countries all visited the Dragon Nation at the same time.

Hoping that the Dragon Nation could help solve these issues for them.

Especially for Little Sun, with a population that was already cramped at 100 million, with now 200 million, many people are living in crowded conditions.

Since the world has entered a grand era of simultaneity, their purpose of visiting was to hope that the Dragon Nation could persuade other countries with large territories to help accept their population for resettlement.

But this proposal was rejected by other countries.

No one was willing to give their land to others, as sooner or later they would face the same population expansion issues. With forward-planning in mind, everyone was unwilling to agree to this plan.

Unable to decide what to do, these representatives could only seek help from the Taoist Ancestor Gu Feng.

Representatives from these countries facing population resource strains, having no channels to visit the Taoist Ancestor, could only follow the Indian method, kneeling on the major road of the Gu Mansion Villa Garden, hoping this might earn them an audience and dialogue with the Taoist Ancestor.
