Simultaneously bound to her personal food planet, Ding Yun's consciousness immediately perceived a void space, within which she saw a planet no less in size than a normal celestial body.
Its diameter was approximately thirteen thousand six hundred kilometers.
As her consciousness probed further, delving into the planet's surface, she discovered this celestial body was unlike any normal planet in the universe. This was because every blade of grass, every tree, the soil and lava, animals and minerals, and all other elements on this planet were composed entirely of food.
The entire planet was divided into many large districts.
The produce varied by region.
For instance, in the dessert zone, some land was soft tiramisu, some was sweet Black Forest cake, some stones were chocolate candies, some were large blocks of fondant cake, tree bark was made of mousse, fruits on trees were candies, and even the leaves crunched satisfyingly when bitten.
The water in the rivers consisted of beverages and syrup.
This was merely ordinary food. Deeper within, in places like mineral veins or lava cores, existed foods with special effects capable of increasing cultivation.
Examples included lava gemstones that were hot and warmed the body.
And milky white jade that calmed the mind and spirit.
Furthermore, the animals inhabiting this planet mostly possessed unique abilities, or rather, unique deliciousness.
Each with its own special effects.
With such a personal food planet, let alone the original host's parents having only one hundred and ninety-eight children, they could afford to raise several more zeros added to that number.
"Now it seems that fulfilling the original host's dying wish of raising her many younger siblings to adulthood is quite simple.
But what about imprinting the brand and completing the mission?"
Ding Yun was well aware that fulfilling the original host's wish was now a matter of indifference.
Imprinting the brand and completing the expansion mission were the core focus of her work.
However, this world was somewhat special, or rather, the human civilization in this world had a vast reach. It was not a world with a flat earth, nor was it a single planet, but rather involved several star systems, four habitable life-bearing planets, plus six agricultural planets, over seven hundred and ninety-two mining planets, and thousands of energy planets.
Although the populations on the agricultural, mining, and energy planets were quite small and could be largely disregarded, the four life-bearing planets could not be ignored.
One was a beastman planet, one was the human homeworld, and two were colony planets. Even though the interstellar network communication on the four life-bearing planets was highly developed, and logistics and transportation were convenient, allowing for round trips within a day, this did not eliminate the rifts between the four planets.
Nor did it eliminate the cultural differences between the four planets.
Among them, the human homeworld was also known as Emperor Star. Although its resources were relatively depleted, its core status remained unshakable as it was the birthplace of humanity.
Its inhabitants took great pride in this,
and consequently looked down on people from other planets as inferior.
The most elite families were there, the most advanced research institutions were there, the most powerful human cultivators, the greatest wealth, the largest corporations, and so on, were all located there.
In short, Emperor Star was where humanity's essence resided.
The best of everything from other planets, whether it was the other three life-bearing planets, or the agricultural, mining, or energy planets, was all being transported to Emperor Star.
Concurrently, Emperor Star was largely occupied by genetically enhanced humans. The number of psychics and beastmen was extremely small, and they were ostracized and looked down upon, considered lower classes. These genetically enhanced humans, because their genes were still of pure human lineage, not mixed with beast blood, and their pineal glands had not mutated into crystal cores,
considered themselves noble and pure-blooded.
They discriminated against all psychics and beastmen.
Indeed, using the method by which the Human Alliance Council had expelled the beastmen, they had also expelled the psychics, who had gradually become discriminated against and ostracized after the beastmen left, to another life-bearing planet, and burdened them with loans.
Therefore, of the two colony planets besides the human homeworld and the beastman planet, one was a psychic planet, entirely inhabited by psychics. However, they had not yet fully developed that planet and repaid their loans, so the planet had not yet been officially named and was simply referred to as a colony planet. Nevertheless, people privately continued to call it the Psychic Planet.
If one were to speak of the difference between them and the beastmen,
firstly, they still disdained the beastmen, believing themselves to be even nobler and purer-blooded than the beastmen.
Secondly, they believed themselves to be much smarter than the beastmen. After some negotiation, they signed interest-free loans, and the development of the planet did not result in significant losses.
The beastman planet needed no explanation; it was the planet Ding Yun currently resided on. More than ninety percent of the valuable resources within the planet were mortgaged to the Human Alliance Council of Emperor Star.
Although beastmen were generally free from hardship and hunger under normal circumstances,
they possessed few major assets or conglomerates. The vast majority of beastmen worked for Emperor Star. The two energy mines and martial arts schools where the original host had worked were both subsidiaries of major conglomerates from Emperor Star. The supervisors remained beastmen because the Emperor Star conglomerates were unwilling to set foot on this planet, which was filled with beastmen and their scent.
They found it low-class and unsophisticated.
They had long forgotten the origins of the beastmen, forgotten their contributions during the early stages of spiritual energy resurgence. Perhaps they had not forgotten, but were deliberately erasing and forgetting.
As for the last colony planet, it was a life-bearing planet discovered only in recent decades. However, both beastmen and psychics had already been expelled by those genetically enhanced individuals. They could no longer find a third group to disdain or expel. The beastman planet and psychic planet were unwilling to be scapegoats for others any longer.
Therefore, the development of the last colony planet was very difficult and slow. Emperor Star primarily used some criminals, sending them to the planet to atone for their sins. Additionally, they hired many impoverished psychics and beastmen to develop it. Apart from that, there were also some undocumented individuals, space pirates, and others hiding on that planet.
Even building bases and temporary residences.
In short, that colony planet currently had the lowest level of development, the most mixed population, and was the most dangerous.
These four life-bearing planets not only had significant cultural differences but could even be described as mutually hostile and resentful. It was undoubtedly quite difficult to gain a vast influence on all four of these planets simultaneously.
The more Ding Yun thought about it, the more troubled she became.
Ultimately, her provisional decision was to temporarily disregard Emperor Star, the Psychic Planet, and the other chaotic, mixed-species immigrant planet. She would first try to make a name for herself on the beastman planet, preferably gaining some real power before proceeding.
After all, this world was truly too vast, and she couldn't be too ambitious. She would take it step by step.
First, she would set a small goal: conquer the beastman planet.
The title "Empress of the Panda Planet" sounded quite good.
