75: The size of the Blue Star universe, the second spiritual tide

Dawn Year 150. After these years of development, the Federation's faster-than-light spaceships have increased from ten times the speed of light to fifty times the speed of light.

Dawn Year 160. A third Space Tunnel appeared.

This time, the race on the other side of the Space Tunnel was no longer an intelligent species, but rather something similar to the giant beasts on Blue Star—a creature of immense size.

However, unlike the giant beasts on Blue Star, the creatures on the other side were extremely brutal and highly aggressive.

Based on their characteristics, the Federation called them the Vicious Beast race.

Although these Vicious Beasts did not possess much intelligence, and perhaps due to the Law of the jungle, their numbers were not high, their strength was truly formidable. A top-tier Vicious Beast required over a dozen Mana Realm practitioners working together to defeat.

As for how this data was obtained, the lack of significant intelligence meant these Vicious Beasts would not charge into Blue Star without reason. Therefore, the Federation naturally had ample time to prepare, and after using some methods, they were able to collect data on these giant beasts.

Although the Vicious Beasts' combat power was strong, their lack of intelligence was a fatal flaw; this was equivalent to the Federation getting a planet for free.

Dawn Year 161. The Federation discovered that the skeletal strength of these giant beasts was extremely high, making them very suitable for manufacturing heavy machinery.

Their flesh and blood also contained immense energy, making them very suitable as fertilizer, so the Federation decided to farm these Vicious Beasts.

Dawn Year 173. One day, one of your Divided Souls was flying along when its direction was suddenly twisted by a force of space. Looking at the space barrier before you, you knew you had approached the boundary of the real Universe.

You tried using Space Law to pass through, but found you still could not. However, you discovered that behind this space barrier, there was no space similar to the Heaven Beyond Heaven from the simulation world.

It seemed that beyond this space barrier lay the edge of the world.

Dawn Year 178. Many of your Divided Souls encountered similar space barriers; the Blue Star Universe was indeed not infinite.

The radius of the entire Blue Star Universe was approximately seven million light-years, and the solar system where Blue Star was located was roughly in the center. Well, Blue Star had truly become the center of the Universe.

You were now a bit unsure about what level the Blue Star Universe was at. From the perspective of Law, the Blue Star Universe was a Great World, just like the Late Stage of the previous simulation world, but this scale was just too large.

Is the difference in scale between Great Worlds really this vast?

Besides that, there was one other thing that concerned you: in the Blue Star Universe, you really hadn't discovered any life forms other than humans, nor had any other planets experienced a situation like Blue Star.

You felt the most likely possibility was that the humans on Blue Star were the first batch of life forms in this Universe, and other life had not yet been born.

Thinking about it, if Spiritual Qi and Space Tunnels had never appeared, and humans had continued to develop technology without going extinct, they might have become the highest-level civilization in the Universe. By then, they could proudly refer to any life forms born afterward as backwater cosmic bumpkins.

But the appearance of Spiritual Qi seemed to have disrupted this outcome. Of course, the most important factor was the Space Tunnels; without them, relying on Spiritual Qi, humans might have been able to dominate the Universe even faster.

Dawn Year 180. Because you frequently observed Blue Star, you witnessed many similar butterfly effects. Your comprehension of Karma reached the Law level, and you grasped the Karma Law.

Dawn Year 192. Du Jianchuan foresaw the future once again: in ten years, Blue Star would experience another Spiritual Energy Tide, at which time the surface area of Blue Star would expand to a thousand times its current size.

"Damn, then it might really become a case of the sun orbiting Blue Star." You did some calculations; after the next Spiritual Energy Tide, Blue Star's volume could reach over thirty times that of the sun, so it was truly possible for the sun to orbit it.

Furthermore, you felt that the entire solar system might be remodeled by then. You decided to move the Xuanhuang Dao Palace away from the sun before that happened, lest it get destroyed.

Upon learning this news, the Federation held another emergency meeting.

To cope with the new Spiritual Energy Tide, the Federation first reinforced their satellites and notified all citizens to prepare. Afterward, they began another great purge of Blue Star to prevent life from undergoing another massive evolution after the next Spiritual Energy Tide arrived, which could lead to the birth of life forms capable of causing harm to humans.

Dawn Year 202. The second Spiritual Energy Tide arrived as scheduled.

As the power of the Blue Star Universe's Heavenly Dao descended, vast energy surged into Blue Star, and it grew larger and larger as if it were a balloon being inflated.

At this moment, you began burning your Incense Power again, feeling that the duration of this change would be longer than the first one.

Sure enough, it took a full three months for this change to finally end. By this time, the entire solar system had undergone a complete, earth-shattering transformation during this Spiritual Energy Tide.

After waking from your meditation, you felt that the Laws you had mastered had been significantly strengthened. You then began to observe the enlarged Blue Star.

In your Divine Thought, seventy percent of Blue Star had now become land, and the former oceans had all turned into inland seas surrounded by land.

However, Blue Star's underground water veins were extremely abundant. The flow of these water veins nourished Blue Star, making it even more vibrant with life.

To your surprise, this expansion of Blue Star did not affect the Space Tunnels on it; those Space Tunnels remained suspended in their specific locations.

The current layout of the solar system was just as you had guessed; it had indeed become a case of the sun orbiting Blue Star, though "orbiting" wasn't quite the right word.

Because in your perception, the changes that occurred to the sun and the moon—one a star and one a satellite—were the greatest in the entire star system.

The moon had become as large as the sun, and both celestial bodies had now turned into manifestations similar to Laws.

Nowadays, the flames on the sun were no longer nuclear fusion, but had truly become a type of transcendent energy, which could be called the True Sun Fire.

Moonlight was also no longer a reflection of sunlight; it had also become a type of transcendent energy, which, together with sunlight, could be collectively referred to as the Essence of Sun and Moon.

Perhaps they could no longer be called the sun and the moon; they should rather be called the Taiyin Star and the Solar Star.

The Taiyin Star and the Solar Star usually hid in the interlayers of space, appearing alternately according to the cycle of day and night.

There was no longer any time difference on Blue Star; when the Solar Star appeared, it was daytime, and when the Taiyin Star appeared, it was nighttime, though the time remained twenty-four hours per day.

Besides this, the space intensity within the solar system had also increased significantly.

You tested it: within the one light-year contained by the solar system, the energy consumed to traverse space was ten times that of outside the solar system.
