Louis Landon knew what Chen Fei was referring to and nodded, saying, "'Life Tree' should be called the evolved form of 'Seed Nest'."

That big tree is indeed incredibly miraculous, not only able to nurture various creatures but also bearing fruits with healing abilities; my injuries were healed by such fruit, and after being reborn, my physiological state even became rejuvenated.

"That's right, even though it originates from the 'Seed Nest,' it's completely different from the 'Sagali' civilization's 'Seed Nest'!"

The difference Chen Fei mentioned isn't just the appearance; the 'Seed Nest' of the 'Sagali' civilization is a pit filled with viscous liquid, whereas the 'Life Tree' stands on the surface in the form of a green plant, without sticky liquid pools and inner walls covered with large and small beehive-like chambers. Although both can nurture life, the 'Life Tree' does so through its fruits.

The biggest difference between 'Seed Nest' and 'Life Tree' now is that the former relies on gathering surrounding resources to produce materials, while the latter, although it can also progress step by step like the 'Seed Nest,' has become more like a fierce predator in Chen Fei's hands, consuming meat, a lot of meat, and plundering ready resources for its growth, eating biological space motherships, biological combat weapons, 'Seed Nests,' mutants; as long as it's biological, it's the 'Life Tree's' food. This gluttonous appetite of constant devouring is how it has grown to its current level in the enclosed 'Boundary Pearl' life space.

Investment in the 'Life Tree' does not go unrewarded; Chen Fei can wield a spiritual power exceeding the human physiological limit, and even psychic series ability users find it difficult to surpass him in both the quality and quantity of spiritual power. Even without psychic series skills, not to mention the simple brute force to overcome sophistication, in terms of spiritual power resistance alone, even the 'Sagali,' upon seeing Chen Fei's gigantic spiritual power, can only helplessly sigh.

"How much longer until the people in the city can go outside without protection?"

Nearly a million people are restricted to living and working within two large 'Skylights,' and while it's secure for now, Louis Landon is concerned that over time, the translucent panels of the 'Skylight,' capable of resisting light weapon attacks, might not contain various curiosities.

"The atmospheric changes within the 'Life Tree' barrier are happening rapidly. It is estimated that in three more months, the atmospheric composition ratios will match those of Blue Star, or Mr. Brown can immediately move the cities 'Atlantis' and 'Randon' directly within a 300-kilometer radius of the 'Life Tree,' enabling direct outings. However, the area outside the barrier still remains a life forbidden zone, and even the inner side of the barrier, within a 100-kilometer radius, is still unsuitable for human habitation," Chen Fei described the environmental changes within the barrier centering on the 'Life Tree' using three-dimensional holographic projections to simulate the invisible barrier contours. He then continued, "But is it really necessary to open up for outside exploration now?"

The initial purpose of the 'Skylight' was to resist harsh climatic conditions, creating an enclosed space to ensure human survival and activity. If the external environment becomes safe, the 'Skylight' shrouding the city would mostly serve to shield against the wind and rain, and enhanced air circulation between inside and outside would be necessary to improve air quality. The fresh air with abundant negative ions provided by lush plants is incomparable to the photosynthesis products of crops in artificial planting zones.

"No rush! It's good as it is now; the population of 89,000 hasn't filled 'Atlantis' and 'Randon,' and it's far from reaching overflow levels."

Louis Landon, who masters the situation in the two 'Skylight' cities, waved his hand. The population carrying limit of 'Atlantis' is 3 million, and now there's another equally sized 'Randon' diverting a large number of people, providing everyone sufficient activity space. There's no need to expand into the uncertain safety of the external world, except for a few people to conduct scientific investigations of brief exploration nature.

Moreover, so many people running around might pose a threat to the 'Life Tree.'

Like 'Seed Nest,' the 'Life Tree' itself doesn't possess self-awareness or aggressive initiative.

"So there's no rush; let's wait until the 'Life Tree's' barrier fully covers the entire life space."

Chen Fei seemed indifferent; even if people were let outside to roam around now, even with ulterior motives, the 'Life Tree' would be hard to threaten.

Firstly, the interior of the life space doesn't contain high-power offensive weapons, and even if weapons exist, their destructive power is unlikely to pose a lethal threat to the 'Life Tree.' Even if it could be dismantled into pieces, as long as matter exists, it could swiftly recover even if turned into a pile of wood chips.

Secondly, the 'Life Tree' itself does have a certain degree of defense capability. Chen Xiao'er isn't to be trifled with; with a mere thought, he can freely launch a 'Home Run' within the range of the barrier, sending the opponent sky-high~~~to hang in the thin-air, gravity-deprived height, a fate worse than death.

Thirdly, although the 'Life Tree' doesn't have self-awareness, Chen Fei has recently brought in a batch of guests, a female settlement of the species 'Chu' abandoned by the 'Sagali' civilization on Emerald Star. Despite being neutered at the DNA level, they found other ways to keep this small settlement of 39 female individuals of different ages alive. Protecting the 'Seed Nest' is instinctive, and hunting is also instinctive, making them trainable as the guardian race of the 'Life Tree.' After all, serving the 'Sagali' and serving Chen Xiao'er makes no difference.

Not only is the 'Skylight' a layer of barrier, but those allowed into the life space are few unruly individuals, and even if there are, they are educated and punished at the earliest, even expelled, sent back where they came from. Since they don't listen, let them fend for themselves; don't expect Chen Fei to be foolishly overflowing with sympathy.

"Don't you feel the 'Life Tree's' barrier is more like some kind of domain?"

Louis Landon is also getting to know the 'Life Tree,' a crucial existence for the entire life space since it exerts an increasingly significant influence centrally on the continent plate.

He regularly receives updated research reports from scientists at the 'Life Tree' research institute. As the 'Life Tree' continues to grow, the experts in the biological field have gone mad, presenting nearly daily research findings.

Imagine a starving rat falling into a rice jar, forgetting even who its parents are.

These scientists have become almost disconnected from their sovereigns. Chen Fei and Landon haven't restricted their communications outward, maintaining only necessary monitoring and filtering mechanisms. However, these people are too lazy to get in touch, occasionally sending brief remarks back to their constantly contacting sovereigns, such as "Annoyed!" "Shut up!" "Busy!" "You know nothing about life!" ... and other impatient words.

Life is short, with so much unknown, and rare is the chance to unravel many secrets and acquire true knowledge; who would pass up?

The sovereigns contacting these scientists are baffled, clueless about what's happening.

Before uncovering all the mysteries of the 'Life Tree,' the institute's scientists are unlikely to have the mind to proactively connect with their sovereigns, reporting their findings.
