# Chapter 2069: Developing Taoyuan Star
Now that the course of action was determined, the rest was easy!
Jiang Nan had no intention of resting. He immediately took his people to the Thousand Stars City, afraid that some other faction might snatch up the "junk" there before him!
Just then, Fa Ma sent a message saying that Taoyuan Star and the three mining planets had already been pulled over by the Starlight Alliance Development Department's spaceships!
On the outer ring of Thousand Stars City, in the star sector belonging to the human race, Jiang Nan appeared with his people!
Several massive starships were seen dragging four planets with gravitational fields, slowly approaching!
The three mining planets looked rough and uneven, not great in appearance.
But the most important one, Taoyuan Star, was soft pink and incredibly charming!
Its planetary diameter alone was ten times larger than Lan Xing!
It was covered in peach blossom forests with lush vegetation—a rare, top-quality life-bearing planet!
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "Here~ We've brought the planets for you. The rest is up to you. Just sign the receipt!"
Jiang Nan casually signed the receipt, and the planets now belonged to humanity!
Wu Liang and the others stared in shock.
Σ(°△°|||) "Holy shit! This is the planet Brother Nan bought? It feels no different from ordering online and receiving a package, damn it!"
Except the "package" was a massive life-bearing planet!
Jiang Nan chuckled. "Convenient, right? Joining the Star Domain Sequence has its perks!"
Xia Yao's eyes were already sparkling with little stars.
˚₊*(ˊॢO̶̶̷̤̫O̴̶̷̤ˋ)*₊˚ "It's so pink and adorable! Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan, let's go check it out!"
Jiang Nan smiled. "No rush. First, we need a star as the center of this star system!"
Otherwise, without sunlight, the plants and animals on Taoyuan Star wouldn't survive long, and the climate would become freezing cold.
As he spoke, he opened his Alternate Dimension and pulled out a well-shaped, appropriately sized stellar power core.
A warp bubble shot out, placing it at the center of the human star sector, and detonated its shell.
"Boom!"
The compressed stellar power core, freed from its restraints, expanded wildly, transforming into a blazing star radiating immense heat!
Then, using the starships, they moved Taoyuan Star and the three mining planets into suitable orbits around the star.
They set them to revolve around the star and used gravitational fields to make Taoyuan Star spin on its axis.
Thus, Taoyuan Star now had day and night, and seasons like spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Jiang Nan also installed Zeus Star Shields and a Swordsfall Defense Ring on Taoyuan Star, both obtained from the Zeus Weapons Factory. He still had plenty stashed away.
Everyone watched in awe. Bai Kou's eyes were full of expectation as she murmured unconsciously:
"Times really have changed... Have we entered the interstellar era now?"
Such things were unimaginable before, but now interstellar colonization, buying and selling planets, and shaping small star systems could be done effortlessly.
It felt like a dream.
Jiang Nan laughed. "Even better times are ahead. Come on! Don't just stand there—let's go check out our new home!"
Everyone plunged into Taoyuan Star's atmosphere.
As soon as they entered, they were brought to tears by its beauty.
Peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, green grass carpeted the ground, the sky was azure, and white clouds drifted lazily.
Floating mountains with cascading waterfalls reflected rainbows; flocks of pink birds soared. The sun was bright, and the ocean shimmered.
A gentle breeze swept through, like a maiden's caress, carrying pink peach blossom petals that danced in the wind, intoxicating the soul.
A peach blossom deer noticed their arrival and leaped away in surprise. Jiang Nan felt utterly refreshed.
(๑⁼̴〰⁼̴) "What kind of celestial planet is this, damn it!"
Qian Benying completely melted, teleporting frantically, looking left and right, rolling around on the grass.
٩(๑˃̶͈̀ヮ˂̶͈́)۶ "A paradise! A paradise! This planet's color scheme matches me perfectly! Pink is supreme! This Benying-chan is never leaving this place!"
"Ehe~ Ehehe~ There are even peaches on the trees to eat!"
On the peach blossom trees hung large, plump pink peaches adorned with crystal-clear dew.
Jiang Nan grinned. (๑¯ิ◡¯ิ) "Ah right—these Fairy Peaches are said to have effects like beautifying the skin, whitening, and enhancing physical constitution."
The moment he said that, Bai Kou, Mi Ye, Mo Mo, and the others went crazy, their eyes glowing red as they rushed to the trees, picked peaches, wiped them on their clothes, and started eating.
No girl could resist beauty and whitening effects, right?
Qian Benying was even hugging the tree and gnawing on it.
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched. Do you all have to be this savage?
Xia Yao also picked a few and took a bite, then widened her eyes.
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷～ᵒ̴̶̷)ᓄ "Xiao Nan? Want a taste?"
She held up the peach she had already bitten into and offered it to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan turned his head. (︶.̮︶๑)ﾉ "Aiya~ No need, no need. I'm already the ceiling of human beauty. Eating this won't make me any more handsome."
"Besides, who would eat something a dog has slobbered on? It's got saliva all over it!"
Xia Yao: ???
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "Pfft! You didn't complain about saliva when you kissed me! Eat! You will eat!"
With that, she shoved the peach right into Jiang Nan's mouth, puffing out his cheeks.
But as he ate, Jiang Nan suddenly paused.
Wait? Didn't this Fairy Peach taste just like the Sublime Beauty Pill?
Xia Yao nudged him with her elbow and winked.
(๑◔◡◔ิ)✧ "See? See?"
She had noticed it too.
Jiang Nan's eyes flickered. This—this was terrifying to think about, damn it!
[(￢̫￢‧̣̥̇)…]
Asking the system would get him nowhere, so he decided to act like he hadn't noticed.
Then he led everyone to start developing Taoyuan Star.
He had bought three bottled cities earlier. The smallest one was placed on Lan Xing and named Skyline City.
He had two left. He placed one at Taoyuan Star's pole, naming it Taoyuan Village as humanity's base camp.
The last one was placed on the equator.
As for how the remaining land would be developed, that was up to Jian Ge and Freya.
They would later summon the Creation Beast to modify the planet's core on Taoyuan Star. As for the Ling Xu, perhaps not, since Taoyuan Star's main function was trade and fundraising.
Meanwhile, Li Bing began setting up a Dimensional Star Ring on Taoyuan Star.
One end would be on Taoyuan Star, the other in the Lost Kingdom.
Another Dimensional Star Ring would be placed in the Milky Way Galaxy at the original Solar System location.
Black God casually connected the dimensional wind tunnels, opening a star path.
Thus, a three-point connection was achieved, allowing trade, fundraising, and development of the Milky Way Galaxy to proceed simultaneously.
After testing, they had to admit—Li Bing was a genius. The Dimensional Star Ring was terrifyingly stable.
With Taoyuan Star basically settled, Jiang Nan headed to the Thousand Stars Domain, his eyes gleaming with greed as he eyed the "junk."
The Thousand Stars Domain was still a mess, nowhere near recovered from the Thousand Stars Catastrophe.
But the Silicon race moved fast. Since they had taken on the contract to rebuild Thousand Stars City,
construction starships were everywhere in the Thousand Stars Domain, using gravitational fields to collect various debris fragments.
Countless construction robots were working tirelessly.
The four destroyed mechanical wormholes were also being rebuilt, with huge mechanical modules being pulled in by warp drives.
Countless engineering machines were welding and installing on the mechanical wormholes.
Even Wanxiang Star was undergoing repairs.
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched. If anyone was truly a construction maniac, it was the Silicon race.
At their pace, rebuilding Thousand Stars City wouldn't take long.
But it seemed the Apocalypse race hadn't started taking contracts yet?
Actually, the Apocalypse race was busy with their own territory.
After all, during the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, even though Jiang Nan had held back, the Canglan Star Domain still suffered considerable losses.
Jiang Nan's smile began to twist. Well then, sorry about this.
(◦ಡωಡ) "Da Zhi! Are those two star nanny still alive? They didn't get blown up too?"
Da Zhi licked his lips. "The two little ones are still there. What? Want to fight again? Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll call—"
Jiang Nan's face darkened. He quickly pulled Wang Youzhi back.
(｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･) "No more fighting. We just fought—you want to fight again?"
"Actually, I was thinking..."
He whispered in Wang Youzhi's ear. Wang Youzhi's eyes lit up.
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Leave it to you, huh?"
So Jiang Nan tossed out two more stellar power cores to expand, while Wang Youzhi called out the two Red Sun nannys.
They hung a cluster of suns above Jiang Nan's head, supplying him with stellar energy.
"Come out! Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
Millions of meters of space shattered. With a fierce dragon roar, the dark-golden Mighty Heavenly Dragon squeezed out from the dimensional gaps.
"What's the situation? I'm getting a return performance? Weren't we just tearing things down? What, wasn't it thorough enough? Want to round it up?"
Jiang Nan's face twitched. Round up your sister!
"Follow me! I've got work for you!"
...
In the Hidden Spirit Clan star sector, many Hidden Spirits were grimacing, downcast as they cleaned their own star sector.
During the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, Jiang Nan hadn't left a single planet for the Hidden Spirit Clan.
The first wave blew everything up—they didn't even get a chance to struggle.
Now that it was over, the battlefield alone would take a while to clean up.
New habitation planets had already been brought in. For a major race like the Hidden Spirit Clan, there were still plenty of life-bearing planets to use.
But the debris had to be cleared, since the star sector was their public face. Leaving it unattended posed a risk of falling debris.
While they were cleaning,
An immensely huge Mighty Heavenly Dragon, carrying Jiang Nan, teleported right over!
In that moment, every Hidden Spirit widened their eyes and jolted in shock.
They immediately sounded the alarm and went into full battle readiness!
(´థ口థ)σ "Jiang Nan! It's Jiang Nan! Everyone be careful! Maximum alert! Where's the Spirit-Slaying Corps? Get them here! Hurry!"
୧(இ口இ‧̣̥̇)୨ "Ah? Why is he here again? Didn't we just get demolished? We just brought a new habitation planet, damn it! Quick! Inform the starships to warp and run! We can't lose this one too!"
With Jiang Nan's arrival, the Hidden Spirit Clan erupted into chaos.
Even orbital cannons were aimed at Jiang Nan, barely holding back from attacking.
Zhong Yingxue's forehead dripped with sweat.
(•́ω•̀٥) "Xiao Nan... You're this intimidating now?"
