With Natasha around, the Star Clan wouldn't be easily tricked during trades.
Regarding the K'teh Divine Clan, Lin Feng had no intention of intervening unless Natasha and Xi Xing asked for help.
These were all trials for the new Star Clan members.
However, Lin Feng admitted that he'd rather the K'teh Divine Clan cause trouble.
That way, he could legitimately eliminate them and flex the Star Clan's muscles.
Even if Lin Feng didn't act, the combat capabilities of the symbiotes alone would be enough to deter most malicious individuals.
"By the way, has Tony visited these past couple of days?"
After discussing important matters, Lin Feng continued to ask.
Natasha looked puzzled. "Tony? No, he hasn't. Is he supposed to visit?"
Lin Feng grunted.
Tony's honeymoon, traveling the universe with his family, was quite unique.
Lin Feng had recommended some places to him, provided coordinates, and had a general idea of Tony's itinerary.
The first stop was Asgard, and the second was the Star Clan's planet.
Lin Feng had already made arrangements with Asgard.
Since Tony hadn't arrived at the Star Clan yet, he must still be in Asgard.
Lin Feng then briefly explained Tony's situation.
Tony had visited the Star Clan several times before and was quite familiar with it, but his family hadn't.
Lin Feng also took the opportunity to temporarily grant Tony's spaceship teleportation permissions using the Space Stone via the altar.
Otherwise, given the distance between the Star Clan and Earth, Tony would have to make multiple continuous jumps for several days in his spaceship.
With Natasha's matters concluded, Lin Feng shifted his gaze to Xi Xing.
"Xi Xing, regarding you,"
"Are there any pressing issues that the Star Clan needs to resolve?"
As the leader of the Star Clan, Lin Feng naturally cared about their development.
Hearing this, Xi Xing frowned and pondered for a long time.
If asked if the Star Clan was doing well, the answer would undoubtedly be better than ever.
Their safety was guaranteed by the top-tier combat team of symbiotes, and their daily lives were aided by that whiskered man named Stark.
Honestly, Xi Xing felt that the current Star Clan was living better than before the Great Cataclysm.
Back then, the Star Clan lacked high-level combatants, and even the elders could only slightly manipulate the Cosmic Cube to infuse small amounts of energy into the ley lines.
At that time, they were extremely cautious with energy usage. The ley lines never held even a tenth of the energy they did now.
Now, the Star Clan had virtually no worries about energy consumption.
In such circumstances, the quantity and quality of the planet's vegetation, as well as the number and speed of new clan members being born, were incomparable to the past.
Xi Xing had estimated that within a year or two, the Star Clan population would recover to its former numbers.
However, due to current housing and tool shortages, this timeline would need to be extended.
But the more people there were, the faster work progressed, creating a virtuous cycle.
The Star Clan's planet was also so vast that there would be no population saturation issues for hundreds of years.
From every angle, the Star Clan was developing prosperously.
"Probably not..."
"Everything is well with the Star Clan right now."
"The ley line energy is also more abundant than ever before."
"A lot of new clan members have been born recently."
"And there are even clan members in their infant stage, although not many," Xi Xing replied after careful consideration.
Those infant clan members were being raised by the adult female members of the Star Clan.
Nurtured from infancy on the Star Clan planet, surrounded by natural vegetation and energy, they would possess a richer knowledge inheritance and a greater affinity with the natural vegetation than the current adult clan members.
This affinity would be of great help in making potions and liquors, resulting in higher quality products.
Xi Xing and her sister were both clan members in their infant stage.
As for why there was a familial relationship like that of her sister when the ley lines cultivated life,
it was because Xi Xing and her sister were twins born from the same light spot.
However, due to energy constraints, her sister only fully formed after Xi Xing had matured.
Lin Feng was also very pleased that the Star Clan was so self-sufficient.
He nodded reassuringly.
"Alright, so for now, everything seems to be in order."
"Proceed with the Star Clan's trading plans as you intended."
"Don't forget to contact me if you need anything. I'll be taking my leave!"
After giving further instructions, Lin Feng prepared to depart.
Xi Xing, with a hint of confusion, stopped Lin Feng.
"Don't you want to see the Star Clan's little babies?"
"I don't know what magic you cast."
"The Star Clan members raising the infants have put an 'S' symbol on the small clothes they made for the children."
"Yes, the symbol on the chest of the suit you wear when you fight!"
Lin Feng: ???
Halfway up, Lin Feng sat back down.
"What's going on? Did you do it?"
The Star Clan shouldn't know about his combat suit; only Xi Xing and her sister had seen it.
Hearing this, Xi Xing gave him a beautiful eye-roll.
"How could I possibly do something so childish!"
"Childish??" Lin Feng's face darkened.
"In any case, I'm not entirely sure," Xi Xing skirted the topic.
"But I've noticed that throughout this period of living here, it seems all the clan members have a natural respect and admiration for you."
"This isn't entirely surprising, but this feeling, or rather, this respect, is slowly changing."
"It's as if it's transforming into... faith?"
Xi Xing tilted her head, pondering for a long time before settling on those two words.
Indeed, they rarely saw Lin Feng, yet they seemed to know him intimately. They often heard subtle mentions of Lin Feng.
If it were just this, Xi Xing wouldn't have paid much attention.
But the problem was, she discovered that when the female members of the Star Clan made potions, they would take an 'S'-shaped pendant from their chests and place it on their foreheads!
!!!
This... this was clearly a prayer for the success of the potions! This was a small ritual passed down through generations of the Star Clan!
They firmly believed that praying devoutly during potion-making would lead to a higher success rate!
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, a thought forming in his mind.
He indeed didn't appear often among the Star Clan, and the female members he hadn't met clearly didn't recognize him and needed explanations from their elders.
All of this might be related to the ley lines.
"Perhaps it's the result of the energy infusing the ley lines carrying my aura..." Lin Feng mused, speaking his thoughts aloud without reservation.
"The energy carrying my aura, even for Star Clan residents who don't know me, would evoke an inexplicable sense of reverence."
"Coupled with the fact that those who have seen me would tell them about me, it's likely not a strange occurrence."
For a relatively primitive society like the Star Clan, faith was sometimes indispensable.
In fact, Lin Feng was unaware that regardless of which batch of female Star Clan members was born, a vague silhouette remained in their minds.
That silhouette floated in the air, its face unclear.
However, the large 'S' symbol on its chest was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
They understood that person, that symbol, had an inextricable connection to the origin of their lives.
Combined with the silhouette's outline and its aura, which seemed divine, the female members of the Star Clan naturally began to regard Lin Feng as their faith.
