Xingtetsu: You are not included in Elio's script!

The jump engine of the Star Dome Train gradually cooled down, and when the familiar stardust halo of the Dome Star Field came in through the porthole, Lin Yu knew that Luofu was approaching.

Sure enough, after a while, the fairy boat shaped like a giant ship stretched out its outline in the field of vision, still emitting a warm luster.

The Yujing peach trees at Donggangkou are more lush than the last time I came. The pink and white petals float away into the sky on the clouds, and even the air still retains the faint fragrance of grass and trees from last time.

"It's still the same." Dan Heng leaned against the main console, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the gun tassel.

The last time he came to Luofu was his first time back to his hometown after exile, and even his breathing was a little tense, but this time was different.

When I revisited the old place, even the sound of Chang Letian’s wind chimes sounded familiar.

The train slowly pulled into the berth at the East Port. As soon as the hatch opened, a figure in a robe with dark blue patterns walked over quickly.

The black bird emblem of the Dihengsi was embroidered on the hem of his clothes, and he was holding a monitoring device in his hand. He was none other than Jingyan, the deacon of the Dihengsi.

Her hair was tied neatly in a bun, and her jade hairpin was adorned with tiny earth energy beads. When she saw everyone getting off the car, she nodded in greeting, her tone serious yet familiar.

"Mr. Dan Heng, Mr. Lin Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

The elders are waiting in Changletian. The Earth Observation Department has prepared a report on the Luofu earth veins for the past six months, which may be helpful for your exploration."

Before arriving at the immortal boat, Dan Heng contacted Luofu in advance.

"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Jingyan." Dan Heng stepped forward, his eyes scanning the monitor in her hand. "How's the situation with the northwest vein rift that I just asked Dihengsi to look after?"

"It has been stabilized with the 'Vein Suppression Talisman', and the energy dissipation rate is controlled below 0.3%." Jing Yan called up the three-dimensional model on the monitor, and the blue-green veins of the earth were clearly visible.

"This is all thanks to the abundant energy that Mr. Lin Yu left behind last time. We have optimized the energy adaptability of the talisman array accordingly."

Lin Yu's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

Last time, he used abundant energy to help Dihengsi repair the earth veins, but he didn't expect that this time it would become the key to optimizing the plan.

Walking along the bluestone road to Changletian, the pavilions and towers along the way are still ancient, but there are more monitoring symbols of the Dihengsi under the eaves, and the flashing runes record the fluctuations of the earth veins.

"The earth veins here are perfectly balanced, without a trace of disturbance. The work of the Earth Balance Bureau itself is a manifestation of 'balance,' right?"

Jing Yan nodded, not stopping his pace. "The responsibility of the Earth Balance Department is to maintain the balance of Luofu's earth veins. Excess is as bad as deficiency, and deficiency must be supplemented."

"Just like the cloud flow over East Port, if it's too strong it will corrode the hull, and if it's too weak it won't be able to regulate the temperature. What we need to do is find that 'just right' balance."

By the Changletian's Metamorphosis Pond, several elders of the Chiming Clan had been waiting for a long time.

The leading elder took the earth vein report handed over by Jing Yan and his eyes fell on Lin Yu. "I heard from Dan Feng that you want to comprehend the immortal'continuation'. This time you are revisiting the old place, but don't be anxious. This time you can see another true meaning of'balance' from the work of the Earth Balance Division."

Lin Yu walked to the edge of the metamorphosis pool and lightly touched the water with his fingertips.

The turquoise energy flowed into the palm of his hand, and he could clearly feel the "veins" within it.

It is not a single inheritance, but a harmonious coexistence of the earth veins, cloud flows, and the lives of the Vajra people.

Just like the Earth Balance Bureau regulates the earth's veins, it neither allows energy to dissipate nor suppresses it by force, but guides it according to the laws of nature. This is the prototype of "balance".

"Immortality is 'continuation', and balance is 'harmony'." Lin Yu whispered to himself.

Luofu itself is the embodiment of balance, the balance between the earth veins and cloud flows, the balance between the transformation and life of the Chiming clan, and the balance between the regulation of the Earth Balance Bureau and the laws of nature.

Jingyan walked forward and handed over a yellowed report.

"This is the anomaly data from the interstellar earth veins monitored by the Earth Horizontal Monitoring Bureau. There are two star systems in the Arbitration Star Region. One is due to excessive resource exploitation, leading to the depletion of earth veins, while the other is due to excessive isolation, resulting in energy congestion. The two sides have been locked in a century-long dispute over the remaining resources, and even the earth veins in the surrounding star regions have begun to become disrupted."

The elder added, "Ancient texts state that 'the one who balances, undoes the imbalance.' The dispute in the Arbitration Star Region is the ultimate manifestation of imbalance. If we can resolve this dispute, perhaps we can comprehend the core of balance."

Lin Yu took the report and ran his finger across the data chart. The energy curves of the two galaxies, one plummeting and the other rising sharply, formed a glaring imbalance.

He suddenly remembered the destiny within his body.

Destruction and preservation, greed and abundance, if they were not harmonized by the pure and beautiful destiny, they would probably fall into such chaos.

It turns out that balance is not absolute equality, but finding the "degree" of each thing so that they can operate harmoniously on their respective tracks.

"Let's go to the arbitration star field." Lin Yu looked up at everyone, with a determined light in his eyes.

Ji Zi nodded and called up the star map of the Arbitration Star Region. "The report from the Land Horizon Division is very detailed. We can formulate a mediation plan based on the distribution of resources."

Walter pushed his glasses and said, "I will analyze the energy systems of the two galaxies in advance and find a point of entry for reconciliation."

As he said farewell to the elder and Jingyan, the sound of Changletian's wind chimes rang softly.

Jing Yan handed a "Suppressing Veins Talisman" from the Earth Horizon Division to Lin Yu. "If you encounter a disturbance in the earth veins, this talisman can temporarily stabilize the energy. The Earth Horizon Division will also continue to pay attention to the matters of the Arbitration Star Domain. Please feel free to contact us if necessary."

...

The Star Train sailed smoothly through the stardust. On the screen in the main control room, the three-dimensional model of the Arbitration Star Field was slowly rotating.

Ji Zi split the data of the two disputed galaxies on both sides.

The surface of the planet in the "Blazing Sun Galaxy" on the left is covered with dark brown mines, and the energy points on the resource exploration map have turned dark red, indicating that there are less than 10% of exploitable resources left.

The "Xuanbing Galaxy" on the right is wrapped in a light blue energy barrier. The energy value of the earth veins within the barrier is dazzlingly high, but due to excessive closure, local energy congestion has formed, and energy cracks have even appeared in some areas.

"The Blazing Sun Galaxy's civilization is based on ore exports. Over the past century, uncontrolled mining has led to resource depletion. Now they're trying to forcibly exploit the Xuanbing Galaxy's associated mineral veins. The Xuanbing Galaxy, having experienced early resource plundering, is extremely wary of external forces and has directly blocked all shipping lanes with energy barriers."

Ji Zi tapped the screen with her fingertips, pulling up a record of interstellar disputes. "There have been three armed clashes between the two sides. The most recent one even affected the surrounding neutral star regions, and the scope of the earth vein energy disturbance is still expanding."

"I compared the frequencies of the earth veins of the two galaxies and discovered that their energy origins are actually the same. The fire-attributed earth veins of the Blazing Sun Galaxy and the water-attributed earth veins of the Mysterious Ice Galaxy were originally in a mutually nourishing cycle, but due to human intervention, they have become antagonistic."

"Just like the ley lines of Luofu need to be reconciled, the key to these two galaxies is to re-establish the energy cycle."

Lin Yu leaned against the console, stroking the "Zhenmai Talisman" given by Jing Yan in his hand. The black bird pattern on the talisman glowed slightly under the touch of the energy of his fingertips.

He thought of the concept of Luofu Dihengsi and suddenly had an idea.

"Chiyang is short of resources, and Xuanbing is stagnating its energy. We can build an energy transmission channel to allow Xuanbing's excess energy to be injected into Chiyang's depleted veins. At the same time, we can help Chiyang establish a resource regeneration system and cultivate sustainable mining veins."

"But the Xuanbing Galaxy will never open its barriers easily."

"The barrier's energy source is their core earth veins. Once opened, it would be equivalent to exposing their weaknesses. Given their vigilance against external forces, they would definitely not agree."

Cerydra nodded. "I can sense the barrier's energy nodes. Three weak points are caused by the natural flow of ley lines, not the focus of human defense."

"Perhaps we can start with these three points, first letting them see the feasibility of energy circulation, and then talk about mediation."

Dan Heng walked in front of the screen, his tone filled with contemplation about the survival of civilization, "The reason the Chiming tribe's Transformation Pool has lasted for thousands of years is because we understand the concept of 'recycling'. Resources are not consumables, but cyclical entities that need to be maintained."

"The Blazing Sun Galaxy only knew how to mine, not how to maintain, which is why it has reached this point today. The Black Ice Galaxy closed itself off out of fear, and instead turned its energy into a burden."

"What we need to do is not only to mediate the dispute, but also to make them understand the essence of it."

"This requires them to see the benefits directly, but someone needs to communicate with the leaders of both sides to break down their opposing perceptions."
