What is hyperbole?

Hyperbole is a statement that is exaggerated and not meant to be taken literally.

Because hyperbole means a statement that is not meant to be taken literally, the statement means that there is growth and fruitfulness in their Celestial Empire. There is nothing that lacks behind. And it doesn't mean that the Celestial Empire is filled with something, but rather, it means that what they are doing is bringing them prolific abundance.
