BTW, remember our conversation about having kids? Found this tidbit from the history lore:
August, 4800 BTA/3300 SC ― The Xianzhou fleet together drafted the Treaty of Harmony, defining laws and punishments, promoting loyalty, and supporting the needy. Order was gradually restored, just as in the legend of the great unification during the Primeval Imperium days. A policy on reproduction and settlements was also drafted, allowing any of the eight ships to settle on fertile planets unpopulated by short-life species to build self-sustaining colonies.
Basically, immortality + limited resources makes for an obvious recipe for overpopulation issues. The Xianzhou fought whole civil wars over allocation of resources. So most likely, any reproduction on the Xianzhou ships themselves are probably really really heavily controlled. (Probably to the effect that most people think it's way too much of a bureaucratic hassle than it's worth until they're retired and got nothing else better to do, is my headcanon).
(And wrt to Vidyadhara, there's like 2500 years between Yubie and Dan Feng's era. Assuming average of 500 year lifespan, so that's only 3 other high elders (most likely less) between them.)
