"The Federation and the Empire now have a combined population of over sixty billion, and it will continue to grow."
"I know," Ouyang Jian said, a bitter smile on his face. "The interstellar era will eventually become a world for ordinary people. Tianxing has always remained aloof, enshrined and untouched. It has no meaning. If it continues like this, Tianxing will eventually disappear from the evolution of life due to its inability to reproduce."
Ouyang Jian looked at Lu Yang and sighed. "I've thought about this problem for a long time. Although there are many people in Tianxing, compared to this world and the evolution of life, they are far, far behind. Most importantly..."
Ouyang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "I've lived for over three thousand years. Sometimes, I feel that living alone forever is truly meaningless. It would be better to find someone, have a child together, and live a happy, simple life for the rest of our days."
This was also the reason why he had secretly left Tianxing before, gone to the world below, and eventually fallen in love with Sangsang and had a child with her.
"Ayang, you just said that we can cooperate with people from below to solve the problem of berserkers. What did you mean?" Ouyang Jian became serious.
Ouyang Jian asked, puzzled, "Do people from below have special abilities to solve the problem of berserkers?"
"I don't know, but we can try," Lu Yang said.
Ouyang Jian: "..."
"Many things, if you try them more, you might get unexpected surprises," Lu Yang added.
Ouyang Jian remained silent for a long time, then finally agreed, "I will consider it carefully."
After ending the communication, Lu Yang walked out of the room.
Downstairs, Lu Wanqing was very anxious. She really wanted to know the outcome of this matter.
Seeing her third brother finally come out of the room, she quickly went over and asked, "Third brother, how is the situation?"
"I can save them," Lu Yang said.
Lu Wanqing was surprised, then delighted. "Really?"
Lu Yang looked at the recording ball, then at Lu Wanqing, and nodded. "Yes."
Berserkers were very dangerous. Ouyang Jian deliberately let them discover Sangsang and her daughter during the live broadcast. This was also to let Lu Yang, under the camera, be seen by everyone, to see him purify Sangsang and her daughter.
Everyone in Tianxing knew that the only way to cure berserkers was for Lu Yang to intervene. Only he, Lu Yang, could personally cure Sangsang and her daughter. Only then could Ouyang Jian openly bring the mother and daughter back. This way, the people of Tianxing would truly accept Sangsang and her daughter, not reject them, and not suspect that they would go berserk and hurt people in the future. This would allow Sangsang and her daughter to truly live happy and fulfilling lives in Tianxing.
"How will you treat them?" Xavier, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Lu Yang glanced at Xavier, but without much explanation.
Lu Wanqing was also very curious, but seeing that her third brother didn't want to say more, she didn't press the issue, not wanting to trouble him.
"Third brother, don't hurt yourself," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but say.
Although she didn't know how her third brother intended to treat the mother and daughter, her intuition told her it wouldn't be simple. She didn't want her third brother to get hurt while saving others.
Lu Yang smiled at her words and nodded. "Okay."
There would be some harm, but that mother and daughter were Ouyang Jian's wife and child. He had to save them no matter what. Ouyang Jian, his friend of over three thousand years, had helped him a lot. Even when he couldn't persevere, it was Ouyang Jian who always encouraged him. Without Ouyang Jian, he might not have been able to endure it alone. If he hadn't persevered, he wouldn't be alive now to see Qingqing.
Ouyang Jian had helped him, and saving that mother and daughter was one of the few things he could do for Ouyang Jian.
However...
His own mental power problem was also an issue.
Lu Yang thought about it and then said, "They can be saved, but we'll have to wait a few more days. I need to make some preparations."
Little Harvey's eyes lit up, and he was super excited. "Uncle, so you can save that little sister, right? Ahhh, that's great! Can they live with us in the future then? I mean... I mean, can they live in a big house like everyone else!"
Xavier looked at Harvey, lost in thought.
Lu Yang nodded. "Yes."
"Ahhh, I'm so happy! Uncle, you're amazing! You're the best person in the entire galaxy! I'm going to praise you forever!!!" Little Harvey immediately became excited, ran over, and hopped around with joy.
Lu Wanqing was also happy, but for some reason, she had a lingering sense of unease.
"I'll go make dinner," Lu Wanqing said, thinking to herself.
"Mhm, I'll go too!" Little Harvey immediately said happily and excitedly.
The Oasis also had a lake. They went to the lakeside to clean the ingredients. The vegetables were washed clean, one by one. As for the meat...
Little Harvey had hunted several birds before. Although they weren't very large, killing them and combining them provided enough meat to make a pot of soup.
"Mommy, that little sister is so cute, so tiny," Little Harvey said, while helping his mother clean the birds' entrails.
"Mommy, after Uncle cures that little sister, can I recognize her as my sister, a god-sister?" Little Harvey added.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Lu Wanqing was shocked. She turned to Harvey and asked, "Why would you think that?"
Little Harvey's eyes sparkled, and he was very happy. "Mommy, please say yes. I really like that little sister. She's so cute!"
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but think of that little girl, so small, a three-year-old little dumpling. And she defended her mother. She was so sensible and cute...
As Lu Wanqing thought about it, her heart also pounded with excitement.
However, her reason quickly returned, and she shook her head. "No."
"She's someone else's child. Her parents are still around. It's not right for us to suddenly claim their child as our own!"
"Mom!" Little Harvey immediately became anxious, frowning, and pouting with a wronged expression.
"I don't have a little sister. Such a tiny little sister is super cute, I want her!!!" Little Harvey whined.
Lu Wanqing's lips twitched slightly. She said speechlessly, "You don't have a little sister, but you have older sisters. Sister Shushu and Sister Cuicui are also very cute."
Little Harvey was unhappy and pouted. "I don't like them at all."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"Why don't you like Sister Shushu and Sister Cuicui?" Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.
Little Harvey pouted, unhappy.
Lu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then said, "You don't like older sisters, but you like little sisters?"
Little Harvey's eyes lit up at her words and he nodded excitedly. "Mommy, can I recognize that little sister as my sister?"
Lu Wanqing: "..." I'll have to ask her dad and mom!
"I liked her the moment I saw her," Little Harvey said.
Lu Wanqing was suspicious. "If you recognize her as your sister, will you bully her in the future?"
Lu Wanqing wasn't overthinking, but Little Harvey's personality was truly different from the other children, with a significant gap. Perhaps it was due to his upbringing. Little Harvey seemed not to like his other four siblings much. She had thought he disliked siblings in general, but now it seemed he might just dislike Lanlan and Xiaoyi. If it were others, he might like them?
Little Harvey immediately raised his hand and swore. "Mommy, I can guarantee that if I can recognize that little sister as my sister, I will protect her well from now on. I will be a good big brother!"
Lu Wanqing chuckled, unable to help but laugh.
