A slender hand gently placed itself on his shoulder after he coughed for a while.

The man looked back and smiled at his wife.

She returned a serene smile, reaching out with four hands to lean over, seemingly giving her husband a hug and a good morning kiss.

But she seemed to have forgotten she's still wearing a mask...

Bang.

In a fluster, she quickly helped her husband whom she had bumped on the head, her three beautiful eyes full of concern.

As she helped her husband up and prepared to go to the settlement center to receive this month's supplies and tasks, a small shadow suddenly jumped out from behind her.

"Mom!"

A young girl in a simple cloth dress ran out, blinking her big eyes at her parents, reaching out as if wanting a hug too.

Her parents watched as their daughter ran out like that, first shocked, then scared and regretful. But when the father rushed over and placed a small amber crystal on the girl's forehead, all emotions turned to joy.

In the girl's puzzled but happy laughter, she was lifted by her father and taken to the center of the settlement, the largest building, once the power core of the starship, now the amber dragon's heart.

More and more people gathered upon hearing the news, and soon cheers echoed over the settlement.

The first newborn perfectly adapted to the Four Continents' environment appeared.

Reliving this warm moment, Li's gaze softened.

"Indeed." Zhang Ze murmured softly from Li's back.

"Indeed what?" Li turned her head curiously.

Zhang Ze, "You aliens are indeed spying on the cold and handsome bodies of us humans."

Li, "..."

The warm atmosphere was completely ruined, and Li didn't bother with Zhang Ze, directly flying westward with him.

Li flew and said, "The second phase of the plan is progressing smoothly. Soon, all settlements will report suitable children meeting the plan's standards.

"According to the plan, once these children's stable inheritance lasts for several generations, we will accelerate and recreate this process in the underground ecological cabins, enabling eighty percent of the exiled races to gain resistance to Earth Sea.

"In theory, the Four Continents is your home, and what we're doing here is a bit... what's the word for it?"

Zhang Ze, "Invasive species."

Li, "Yes, invasive species.

"What we're doing is somewhat like invasive species, but to persuade other exiled races to cooperate, we have no other way.

"They've been exiled for too long, having a new home is their only wish."

Zhang Ze crossed his arms, "I understand. Without you, we would have been doomed back then.

"Besides, this has already happened long ago, opposing it now is meaningless."

"And furthermore..." Zhang Ze had a peculiar expression, "Honestly, I think if you all just suddenly died back then and left cleanly, we might have ended up fighting among ourselves."

Zhang Ze thought of the underworld cultivation, thought of the chaotic times of the Ten Kingdoms.

Li didn't continue to dwell on the topic, nor discuss the meaning of peace with Zhang Ze.

After all, their Amber Civilization spent the first 40 millennium playing command and conquest.

[Command and Conquest: I order you to kneel, once you're conquered, peace naturally comes.

After soaring in dreams for a long time and indulging in excitement, Li descended from the air.

Reluctantly, it returned to its round and bloated form, jumped onto Zhang Ze's head, and pointed at the arrow-like 'tree' ahead.

Because each starship is highly specialized due to the amber dragon, they all look different. For this one, after its magnificent splendor fades, it takes the form of a tree.

The so-called ecological cabin was not buried deep in Earth Sea as it is today, but mostly exposed above ground.

Li, "This is one of the seven most important ecological cabins, the settlement built around 'Dawnbringer Su E', the future Holy Tree, and where I woke you up."

Zhang Ze, "So there were originally seven Holy Trees?"

Li, "Not exactly. It was just that during that event, Su E's transformation was the least, so it became the current Holy Tree..."

Dream sequence switches, Li and Zhang Ze entered this ecological cabin.

As soon as they entered, Zhang Ze saw himself back in the day cozying up to a square locomotive.

Old, old, old, old Zhang Ze cheekily leaning against Li's headlights.

"Alien brother, trust me, you absolutely have to draw a dinosaur park here.

"I'm telling you, a primordial world without dinosaurs isn't truly primordial.

"Also, the reason dinosaurs went extinct back in the day might have something to do with the rise of your 'original tide', resurrecting a few to study might lead to new discoveries."

"Even for the sake of all being dragons, at least make one, just one, I'm begging you..."

Zhang Ze looked at his past self, somewhat disdainful, saying, "I think you're mocking me. How could I have been like that back then."

Sitting on Zhang Ze's head, Li poked Zhang Ze's cheek with its tail, "I'm not mocking you, you're still like this now."

Zhang Ze, "..."

As the scene fast-forwards, whether due to Zhang Ze being too bothersome or he indeed had a point, a Jurassic Park really was created within the ecological cabin.

Zhang Ze also resided in the park, using a multifunction terminal Li gave him to build a quaint little house.
