“It is precisely because Hope’s Fire exists that we must aggressively expand our population,” Li Changchun declared with great seriousness.
“The strength of Hope’s Fire is derived entirely from the collective power of faith gathered from all living beings.”
“Should our numbers continue to multiply, the power of faith will experience a massive surge.”
“Eventually, we might be able to eradicate the darkness entirely by relying solely on the overwhelming magnitude of Hope’s Fire.”
The other Cultivators from the Qingyun Sect nodded their heads in solemn agreement, fully convinced that such a goal was within their reach.
Considering the current pace of development for every clan within the Immortal World, they felt certain there would be no obstacles.
This remained true as long as no unforeseen catastrophes occurred to halt the progress of the various races.
“However, with a population so vast, can the current territory of the land of daylight truly sustain so many souls?” the Executioner Immortal King inquired with genuine curiosity.
In his view, a massive population was not always a blessing.
A high population density often imposed a staggering financial strain on a realm.
With land being finite and food production limited, a population explosion would mean that the resources allocated to each individual Immortal would become incredibly thin.
Such a scenario would hinder the birth of high-level Immortals.
The higher an Immortal’s Cultivation level, the more astronomical the resources required to sustain their progress.
The needs of such beings were simply incomparable to those of mere mortals.
If the population spiked too rapidly, the current treasuries of each clan might fail to support the burden, potentially sparking a disaster that could lead to internal chaos.
“That is not a concern at all,” a Cultivator from the Qingyun Sect explained.
“The Executioner Immortal King may not be aware, but the Xuan Huang Immortal King possesses unparalleled skill in the Cultivation of Immortal Elixirs.”
“Due to the vigorous efforts of the Xuan Huang Immortal King, medicine gardens have now been established in every corner of the Immortal World.”
“Furthermore, the growth cycles of these Immortal Elixirs have been greatly shortened, allowing for massive harvests in very little time.”
“For the many Immortals residing here, the market price of Immortal Elixirs has plummeted during this era.”
“In the past, very few could afford such treasures, but now, even the common people can purchase standard Immortal Elixirs.”
“This shift has resulted in a dramatic strengthening of the Immortals' overall power.”
There was no question that the productivity of the Immortal World had multiplied by thousands of times compared to previous eras.
In the past, production methods were inefficient, unrefined, and lacked precision.
Land use was never fully optimized, which limited the population and frequently led to resource scarcities.
However, the rise of the Xuanhuang Sect had revolutionized everything.
The output of the Immortal World’s soil had increased ten-thousandfold, with vast quantities of Immortal rice and Immortal Elixirs being produced without pause.
Meanwhile, the Heaven Court felt no anxiety regarding overproduction.
Any surplus that could not be immediately consumed was simply placed into storage.
The Heaven Court utilized advanced storage technology capable of freezing time and space, allowing goods to be preserved for billions of years without degrading.
Because of these factors, the Cultivator believed the Immortal World was nowhere near its carrying capacity.
“Indeed, I believe there must be a limit to the population eventually,” another Qingyun Sect Cultivator added.
“Once that threshold is reached, it will no longer be wise to encourage large-scale growth.”
“But at this moment, the population is far too small relative to the immense territory of the Immortal World.”
“We would likely need a trillion years of continuous development before we even need to consider if the population has become too large.”
“Moreover, we are still actively reclaiming territories that were once swallowed by the power of Eternal Night.”
“For the foreseeable future, there is truly no reason to fret over having too many people.”
“The costs of Immortal Pills, Elixirs, and rice have actually fallen that much?” the Executioner Immortal King remarked.
“It is no wonder I have noticed so many new Immortals appearing lately.”
“The capabilities of the Xuan Huang Immortal King are truly extraordinary.”
“If this trajectory continues, the number of Immortals born in this world will surely exceed previous records by tens of thousands of times.”
The Executioner Immortal King had to concede that this growth strategy was sound.
Truthfully, worrying about a population crisis in the Immortal World was perhaps a bit premature.
If the Dark Clan were to launch an assault on the land of daylight, the resulting casualties would be immeasurable.
War had not yet broken out, but once it did, even a massive population might prove insufficient.
The Heaven Court was clearly focused on preparing for that ultimate confrontation, displaying great foresight.
“Indeed, the results are already becoming apparent,” Li Changchun said with a slight smile.
“Setting aside the countless True Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals that have emerged, let us look at the Immortal Kings.”
“In just the last ten billion years, our Human clan has seen the birth of at least three hundred.”
“And every single one of them is a newly ascended Immortal King.”
Previously, the Human clan had suffered the loss of over seven hundred Immortal Kings during the Dark Clan's invasion.
But now, thanks to the Human clan's resurgence, those numbers were being restored.
If this trend held, returning the count of Immortal Kings to its historical peak was a very realistic goal.
“What? Three hundred Immortal Kings were born in just ten billion years?”
“How was such a feat even possible?”
The Executioner Immortal King found the news difficult to process.
He was well aware of how grueling it was to produce a single Immortal King; sometimes, billions of years would pass without a single person achieving that rank.
While the Human clan possessed over a thousand Immortal Kings, that number was the result of slow accumulation over countless trillions of years.
