Yuuka told me today that while we are connected to the new Genso-earth, our timeline is in a "tunnel" like the shaft when entering a space station from space, or a submarine after doing deep sea diving. The pressure has to be levelled with the environment inside so that we can enter it safely, and this takes some time.
It's also been vaguely explained to me that new planets are left alone by other races, not based on a code of conduct, but because they are filled with "nectar of the gods", which is the same as poison gases to anyone outside. The beings inside the planet-sphere are entirely toxic to anyone outside because they are also filled with the nectar of creation. Over time the energy is invested into an eco-system and it then becomes more normal, at this point some outsiders can start visiting, but only if they are very pure. Anyone else will burn up, because the planet surface will still be "800 degrees Celsius" from their perception. This is referred to as the Golden Age, when everything is made from original matter and shining so strongly it's like looking directly at a shining sun.
The remainder of the current planet's population will be either guided to self-purify to this state, or they will be forcibly purified and given new bodies which match the high energy standard. Being forcibly purified is no pleasant matter, but it's the only way for someone to stay once selected for this. This situation can be seen as the reason for why we are able to make progress here like this now; as long as we make an effort to complete the purification by our own agency, Yuuka and others will allocate resources so that we can do it in time. This is also in the interest of the Galfed who prefers to have contacts on the inside if possible, so they will also provide support.
