Chapter 1446: Chapter 568: Life Blooms_2

When an hour of real time had passed, which equated to 14 months of plant growth, fruit trees and trees began to mature. After Yan Fei’s pollination, the fruit trees began to bear fruit, and the trees started to produce seeds. Yan Fei repeated the previous steps and began to spread these fruits and tree seeds to even further locations…

Lu Pingping could do nothing but marvel at Yan Fei’s godlike manipulation of the plants’ growth and decay within the space. Yang Qi had given up trying to analyze the principles behind Yan Fei’s actions with instruments and instead took out a video camera to document every movement of Yan Fei. Under Yan Fei’s control, an hour had seen the plants experience two cycles of growth and decay, and they had even borne fruit.

Yan Fei gestured with one hand and three plump apples flew into the transparent light shield, appearing before the three of them. Yan Fei said, “Try these together and see how the apples here taste!”

Yan Fei was the first to grab an apple and took a big bite, his mouth making a crisp chewing sound while juice splattered from the corners of his mouth, clearly showing it was delicious. Lu Pingping also picked up an apple and took a bite, then realized that the apple was incredibly tasty, far better than any apple she had eaten before.

Yang Qi, too, took a bite and savored the deliciousness of the apple. He said, “This variety of apple is very common outside, definitely not as delicious as this one. The growth environment in this space is really superb. In just one generation, the apple tree’s genes have been improved, yielding such delectable apples.”

Yan Fei tossed away the apple core he was holding and said, “This is just the first generation. After dozens of generations of continuous improvement, the apples here will lead the world in all aspects over their counterparts on Earth.”

Lu Pingping relished the taste of the apple in her hand, and her business mindset kicked in. She said, “The land here is boundless; we can plant a large number of these improved fruit trees and then sell the fruits to the outside world. With this environment and the improved quality of the fruits, they will definitely become a sensation worldwide, becoming a new source of income for Dream Island.”

Yan Fei laughed and said, “Once I have developed this place, you can plant any fruit here without a problem.”

In the time that followed, Yan Fei repeated his previous workflow, constantly providing sufficient moisture to the soil, continuously spreading plant seeds further afield, continuously pollinating the plants, and then repeating the same steps. Algae didn’t need Yan Fei to transport them to other places; carried by the currents, they naturally reached every corner of the water network, requiring only sufficient energy from him.

In the meanwhile, Yan Fei continuously adjusted the growth areas of these plants, then mixed them to grow together, initially establishing an incomplete ecosystem. Under Yan Fei’s planning, vast grasslands, forests, orchards, and shrublands began to appear on the land below, and various algae plants started to populate rivers and lakes. When twelve hours had passed, the land within a radius of one thousand kilometers was already filled with a variety of plants…

With the influence of the spatial wind, some plant seeds were also blown to other places. Gradually, silhouettes of various plants appeared on other lands. However, these plants lacked Yan Fei’s deliberate care, they couldn’t cluster and seemed somewhat sparse. But from the sky above, one could already spot vast expanses of green throughout the entire Dreamland Cave World.

Twelve hours for common people is very brief, perhaps just the duration of a sleep. It’s equally brief for plants, whose blooming period is much longer than this. But with Yan Fei’s intervention, in just a mere twelve hours, these plants had gone through twenty generations of reproduction. They flourished with life at an extremely fast pace, using this flourishing to trade for countless offspring, allowing their progeny to cover a large part of the Dreamland Cave World.

Under Yan Fei’s god-like operations, the entire Dreamland Cave World became bustling with life. And due to the plant growth, the Dreamland Cave World looked colorful and extremely beautiful. However, because there wasn’t enough time, and Yan Fei had yet to introduce microorganisms and bacteria into the Cave Heaven Paradise, the environment appeared somewhat monotonous at this point and had not formed a complete ecosystem.

After twenty generations of breeding, the cell mitotic quick-division ability of these plants had disappeared, and they had reverted to normal growth rates. However, Yan Fei temporarily did not plan to continue to stimulate their rapid growth because the sun of Dreamland Cave World was about to set and the bright moon had already risen in the sky.

Without Yan Fei’s intervention, the absence of the sun meant the loss of the energy source necessary for plant growth. The diffusion of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi from the moon was not sufficient for the plants to obtain the energy they needed to grow. If any plant were to undergo rapid growth at night, they would face only one outcome–they would all die off due to the lack of energy.

With Yan Fei’s control gone, all the plants entered a normal growth process. Yan Fei, however, had already gathered enough plant seeds and planned to scatter them in the blank areas of Dreamland Cave World when the sun rose tomorrow, to fully vegetate the entire Dreamland Cave World.

After twenty generations of continuous evolution, the plants that grew here had reached the pinnacle of their genetic perfection. Whether in terms of appearance or inner content, they were much stronger than their original versions on Earth. Especially the various fruits, their taste and nutritional value had been elevated to the peak, almost on par with the Immortal Fruit from Chinese mythology. From this perspective, these fruits had already met Lu Pingping’s expectations, and if she really decided to cultivate and sell various fruits in Dreamland Cave World, these fruits would monopolize the global market.

When Yan Fei and the others first entered Dreamland Cave World, it was around seven in the morning there. Twelve hours had passed, and now it was seven in the evening. The distant sun was about to set below the horizon, while on the other side, the moon had risen. Yang Qi carefully looked at the timer in his hand and said, “I’ve observed that the time flow speed in Dreamland Cave World is the same as on Earth, its day is also twenty-four hours.”

Yan Fei, who controlled everything in Dreamland Cave World, naturally knew the time rules here. He said, “That’s right, this space’s time is quite similar to Earth’s, except for the radius and point aspects, other rules are not too different from Earth’s. Therefore, this is the most suitable space for us to immigrate to, as immigrants basically do not need to undergo adaptation training to live well here.”

The three had been floating in mid-air, watching Yan Fei’s god-like operations, so they didn’t feel the passage of time. Yan Fei was a God-Level Expert and had energy enhancements, so he didn’t feel any discomfort despite the long duration. However, Lu Pingping and Yang Qi were a bit worn out, the twelve hours of hovering in the air had made their backs and waists ache. So when night fell, Yan Fei stopped his operations and brought the two back to the ground.

They were originally planning to have dinner, but they had been continuously eating the improved fruits, which were very delicious, and they unknowingly ate too much. By the time it was dinner, they realized they couldn’t eat anything more, so they simply skipped the meal.

When Yan Fei entered Dreamland Cave World, he made extensive preparations. When he decided to camp here tonight, he unloaded components from the truck and set up three large tents on the edge of the vast parking lot, using them as bedding for the threesome to sleep.

The three sat on the grass, looking up at the round moon, feeling very relaxed. Since there were no other people besides them, there were no fearsome enemies, nor any detestable businessmen, nor any endless experiments to be done.

Seeing the plants bloom with all their vigor in just half an hour greatly shocked them. In their eyes, the lives of these plants were so brief, but if they put themselves in their shoes, the decades of lifespan they saw might just be half an hour in the eyes of others, would they still feel that their deeds were meaningful? If that was really the case, perhaps their life philosophy needed some amendment?
