Ye Fan was not yet aware that Li Zhaojun had begun cultivating supernatural powers. If Ye Fan knew, he would definitely try to prevent Li Zhaojun from doing so, because Ye Fan did not want the women around him to bear any risks for him.

Li Zhaojun had her own opinions on many matters. She wouldn’t become Ye Fan’s complete subordinate just because she liked him. She had her own ideas and acted according to them, hoping to earn Ye Fan’s respect and the freedom to make certain choices on her own.

She also didn’t want to be always protected by Ye Fan. She had a strong and competitive spirit, wanting to be able to protect herself, and even to offer help to Ye Fan.

Against this background, Li Zhaojun began her cultivation, which was her unilateral decision to assist Ye Fan. Li Zhaojun herself was uncertain whether this was right or wrong.

At this time, outside the Pan Gu Secret Realm and within the galaxy, Ye Fan and Xi He were looking for a planet suitable for human habitation.

On this planet, the number of humans was no less than those on Earth, with a mature cultivation system. However, just like on Earth, the cultivators here were unknown to the world, and the level of technology on this planet was clearly ahead of Earth’s.

"...Here, humans make good use of the power of stars. The human development history here is probably ten thousand to twenty thousand years more advanced than Earth’s, counting from when humans began creating characters. More cultivators here are searching for ways to enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm. Here, entering the Pan Gu Secret Realm is still just a legend because there is no gate leading to it. Reaching the Golden Core Stage here is already considered the skill of a master..."

Xi He explained the planet very thoroughly to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan looked at the world before him with a somewhat different feeling in his heart. To him, this might be what Earth’s technological level would be like several thousand years in the future. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

There were various flying vehicles, and around the planet, a residential ring had already formed. Humans no longer needed resources from the planet and relied entirely on solar energy.

Ye Fan experienced quite a few new energy forms here, but none could threaten cultivators, thus these small energy bodies posed no threat to Ye Fan, and he did not pay much attention to them.

Dao Zhen was watching the scenery, seemingly curious about how humans could develop such a level of technology.

Born in the Pan Gu Secret Realm and after entering the fairy world, she had never seen the development level of human civilization. She had never interacted with the good things humans created, and instinctively thought that humans did everything to explore and use resources to gain personal cultivation. Now she realized that ordinary humans used resources to enrich their lives, even to ensure greater spiritual security.

"It seems what I’m looking for isn’t here!" Ye Fan said, observing the advanced items on the planet. With his observational skills, he could see below the surface to the inner workings. With his current expansive thinking, one glance would tell him what these things were, their principles, and even Ye Fan could recreate them.

He planned to transfer these items to Earth for people to model, and even if some things couldn’t be replicated, they could be introduced step by step.

Ye Fan seemed to be learning advanced technology for Earth, allowing humans to live in a more advanced manner, although such a method akin to pulling up seedlings to help them grow might not be the best for human development.

Dao Zhen asked, "The distance from here to Earth is not very far, why does the cultivation atmosphere here feel completely different from Earth’s?"

"Because the energy source here does not affect cultivators!" Ye Fan said, "Although the technological civilization here is stronger, the cultivation civilization significantly lags behind. I came here not to admire their technological level. Let’s go find another place... Are there places with higher civilization levels within the galaxy?"

Xi He shook her head, saying, "No, other star systems might have, and are more advanced, already developing into inter-stellar links. Even ordinary people are close to conquering space and time, which is a terrifying thing for cultivators... Such conquest based on human ingenuity is a power even cultivators might not control, but ordinary humans can ... After all, humans rely on external forces, unlike cultivators who harness their own power for completion!"

"Hm!" Ye Fan nodded, examining the sky streets completely different from Earth’s. Here, everyone had a flying device, and they moved freely without much hindrance, with traffic control in place to prevent aerial collisions. Compared to Earth’s roads, the aerial pathways were safer, and the flying devices had undergone rigorous improvements, making malfunctions nearly impossible.

Dao Zhen said, "Humans have to cultivate ultimately, to pursue immortality. Even if they research technology well here, their lifespan might reach a hundred or two hundred years, still falling short compared to an ordinary cultivator. Such humans are far from reversing fate!"

Ye Fan said, "Ordinary human life is about reproduction, and the power of spiritual strength will change many things, possibly affecting the universe’s rise and fall. Humans are the rulers of this universe, even cultivators must admit they are humans..."

Ye Fan already decided not to linger on this planet further. He finally asked, "What is the name of this planet?"

"There are many races on this planet, and their languages differ, so their names for the planet vary. In terms of cultivator terminology, this is ’Suilan Star’, as its oceans are vast compared to Earth, looking like a blue crystal from the universe!"

Xi He said, and followed Ye Fan as they left Suilan Star.

The group remained concealed, undetectable by any device, even the most advanced ones.

After leaving Suilan Star far behind, Ye Fan observed the planet, feeling nostalgic. He knew that whether it’s Suilan Star or Earth, both would perish if a heavenly tribulation came, possibly halting human civilization abruptly, and the next age of civilization might not even take human form.

In the end, humans were created by Nuwa based on her own likeness, and life forms were not limited to just one shape.
