The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"As for guiding the guests..." Jing Yuan looked at Ting Yun and said, "Miss Ting Yun, please bear with me for a while longer."

"This is my duty, and I have no choice but to do it." Tingyun smiled and accepted the task.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is Jianmu?" Xing was quite curious about that thing. It grows so fast!

"That's an ancient artifact left on the Luofu Immortal Boat by the Plenty Star God Pharmacist. It's a miracle that can shape life at will and conquer death."

"Mrs. Luo's ancestors consumed the fruit of Jianmu, which gave them a body of infinite lifespan and transformed them into immortals."

"When Jing Yuan said this, he seemed to be sighing."

"So this Jianmu tree was actually gifted by the God of Plenty? Yes, in that sky curtain before, it was the God of Plenty who cut off a branch, and then that branch grew rapidly... That was Jianmu."

Ying Zheng recalled the contents of the sky curtain before and couldn't help but understand.

"It's a pity that this immortality has its flaws. If it weren't for the demonic body, this immortality would be so comfortable... Alas."

He kept sighing. If he didn't have the defect of the demonic body, he would have ordered people to build statues of the God of Fertility all over the country, and then let all the people of the Qin Dynasty worship him!

This immortal is so close to him, why is it a flawed immortal?

…………

"Wow, this sounds like a great baby!" Sanyueqi suddenly perked up.

"Aren't you happy that such a good baby has revived?" Xing was even more puzzled. If that were the case, shouldn't we be happy that Jianmu has revived?"

"Furthermore, it was the Plenty Star God who granted immortality to the people of the Immortal Boat, so why did the people of the Immortal Boat turn against the Plenty Star God?"

"According to Kafka, the Immortal Boat people even follow the footsteps of the Patrolling Star God, hoping to one day help eliminate the God of Plenty... How strange."

"...As passers-by, you don't know much about the history of the Immortal Boat, so it's not surprising that you ask such questions."

"But a miracle that grants immortality is nothing more than a wishful dream."

"Take Luofu as an example: immortality may seem like a beautiful thing, but it also brings with it population growth and resource scarcity. In the struggle for survival, the immortals, unable to become human, degenerate into beasts."

"After paying countless blood and tears, the people of Luofu finally understood that immortality was not a gift bestowed without cost, but the beginning of a cruel trial."

"Because in the years that followed, the people of the Abundant Land, who had also received the Medicine Master's grace, repeatedly invaded the Immortal Boat and committed great murder in order to seize the miracle."

"Those of our fellow immortals who managed to survive the war fell into a perpetual disease known as the Demonic Yin Body."

"If we hadn't been fortunate enough to receive the enlightenment and protection of Emperor Gong Siming, the Immortal Boat Alliance wouldn't exist today."

"Jing Yuan sighed as he spoke. This seemingly beautiful eternal life is actually filled with endless blood and tears."

"I finally understand." Yang Guang smacked his lips. "Jing Yuan said the population is expanding and resources are scarce... It's simply that there's only so much land, and it can only produce so much food. But human life expectancy has increased many times, and with more and more people, there's ultimately not enough food to go around, leading to a famine."

He had never seen such a thing as famine, but he had heard of it.

There was a great famine that year, and people were eating each other... These six simple words in the history books concealed such a cruel reality!

Cannibalizing one's own children, devouring corpses, killing each other... It's truly a complete loss of human ethics, it's extremely terrifying!

In ancient times, hunger was the norm for all the people, and being full was a rare thing.

Otherwise, why did the ancients generally only eat two meals? Did they not want to eat three meals, plus morning tea, afternoon tea, and a midnight snack?

When people are already generally hungry, if they encounter any natural disasters or man-made calamities, they will immediately starve to death in large numbers, and then... just as Jing Yuan said, they will no longer be human beings and will only degenerate into beasts.

"It seems that immortality is not a good thing." Empress Xiao sighed while lying in Yang Guang's arms.

"No, it's simply that the ancestors of the Xianzhou people were too stupid." Yang Guang sneered disdainfully: "How can everyone be immortal? If it were me, only I would eat the Jianmu fruit and gain immortality, while the untouchables would remain as they were. Wouldn't this great famine not have happened?"

In his eyes, this is the way things should be done.

Let the lower-class people live forever together? Ridiculous! Do those untouchables deserve it?

As a holy king, he lives forever in order to rule this country forever, which is an honor for those untouchables!

But what can the untouchables do?

They have no value other than farming!

When this group of people dies, the next group of people who have grown up will continue to farm!

If you don't plant the seeds, there are plenty of people who can plant the seeds.jpg.

If those short-lived people cultivate the land to support an immortal sage like him, how can the world not be peaceful?

…………

"Is it so horrible?" San Yueqi was frightened by the scene Jing Yuan described. How many people must have died?"

"After asking the questions in their hearts, they decided to go to work."

"It's just that Qingque is a little regretful. She had originally planned to take a few people out for a walk and teach them how to play cards after finishing the work here. Unfortunately... as soon as Jianmu revived, she was assigned a new task by Fu Xuan, asking her to look through various books and materials about Jianmu."

"Afterwards, Fu Xuan led a few people to the Taipusi dock. "I have an important mission entrusted to me by the general. Please be careful on your journey."

"Oh, right... Taibu, um, Kafka ran away. I'm so sorry." Sanyueqi suddenly remembered this."

"No problem." Fu Xuan shook his head gently. "I had anticipated this. Besides, the Star Core Hunters aren't enemies. If that's the case, there's no point in continuing to capture them."

"Hearing her say that, San Yueqi finally felt relieved. He no longer had to bear the responsibility for letting the suspect escape."

"The group boarded the Starship and headed to the Construction Department."

"As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw many craftsmen gathered in front of the Construction Department."

"Huh?" Tingyun was quite surprised. "This Gongzao Division's cave heaven has been shut down since it was corroded by the star core. Why don't these people take the star raft to the safe zone?"

"Maybe the people in the Engineering Department are more dedicated to their work. Think about the fortune tellers in the Taibu Department. They say there's no difference without comparison." March Seven spread his hands.

(Qingque: I'm slacking off and eating your rice!)

"After all, it's work. You have to make a living from it," sighed Walter, who once worked as a social slave for a while. "The adult world... haha, there's no such thing as easy."

"Uncle Yang, the tone of someone who has been through this..." San Yueqi couldn't help but imagine what Walter had experienced in the past.

"How come you're so adept at saying things like a corporate slave?"
