Chapter 606: Chapter 607: The Arrival of People from Different Tribes

The reconstruction plans had been set into motion, as the scholars of the Heavenly Art Department, in coordination with Swift Wind, were investigating the condition of these one hundred and ninety territories.

Adapting to each location, according to the specific circumstances of the one hundred and ninety territories, would adjust the following plans, shaping each area as necessary.

Since these one hundred and ninety territories had been thoroughly devastated, when rebuilding them, it was possible to construct entirely according to the needs and desires of the Huaxia Empire.

For example, the planning of cities, the construction of roads, and so on; even using the one hundred and ninety territories as a testing ground was entirely feasible.

Lin Qian was diligently transforming the territories under his control, hoping to shape the Huaxia Empire into a higher-level technological and cultivation civilization. Sometimes, compared to transformation, starting anew is actually easier.

At the same time, the Yuan family had provided their intelligence regarding the Human Clan territory borders, where they confronted other clans, to themselves.

After receiving the report from the Yuan family, Lin Qian realized the current situation of the Human Clan’s territories was not optimistic.

At the very least, over a hundred locations along the territory borders of the Human Clan were undergoing attacks from other clans. To defend so many battlefronts using just the people from the Yuan family alone was simply remarkable.

It could only be said that the Yuan family was indeed very impressive.

However, this was also because the other clans hadn’t launched thorough assaults. If the other clans were to fully engage with the Huaxia Empire, how the situation would unfold was still uncertain.

But now, with Lin Qian’s Huaxia Empire supporting the Yuan family from behind, the situation was entirely different. It’s always pleasant to have the support of a giant tree, and the Huaxia Empire was now that towering great tree behind the Yuan family.

The male artisans of the Fire Department had already set off with the Yuan family’s people, accompanied by Swift Wind and Night Shadow, as well as five Transcendence Realm military professionals from Swift Wind and Night Shadow each.

The Fire Department’s male artisans were tasked with helping to construct devastating soul cannons, while Swift Wind and Night Shadow were responsible for gathering intelligence for Lin Qian.

In order to unify the entire Soul Martial Continent, it was only a matter of time before Lin Qian’s Huaxia Empire would go to war with the other clans.

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Collecting intelligence on the other clans in advance would only benefit the Huaxia Empire.

And it could incidentally help the Yuan family. After all, the Yuan family was now part of the Huaxia Empire, the Yuan family of the Huaxia Empire, and one couldn’t just stand by and watch their own people die in vain.

The Yuan Supreme was infinitely grateful for Lin Qian’s actions, knowing very well what these successful constructions of the devastating soul cannons would bring to the younger generation of the Yuan family.

Moreover, Lin Qian had also sent them with a good number of potions for emergency use. The healing potions were carried by Swift Wind and Night Shadow, to be administered to any injured and dying members of the Yuan family, saving their lives.

Lin Qian believed that as time passed, these ordinary members of the Yuan family would gradually grow fond of the Huaxia Empire and eventually identify as members of the Huaxia Empire.

After all, the Yuan family was large in number. It was nonsensical to force them into making heart-devil oaths to become members of the Huaxia Empire.

As long as they become Huaxia People, living within the Huaxia Empire, Lin Qian was very confident that when the time came, even if he tried to shoo them away, it would be impossible.

With this in mind, Lin Qian refocused his mind and began discussing with Zhuge Ming what the one hundred and ninety territories should look like in the future.

First, the residential areas had to be completed. Lin Qian planned to imitate the appearance of his past life, constructing high-rise buildings, those kinds of apartment buildings, which would save a lot of land.

With the possession of time-related merchant items, Lin Qian could ceaselessly construct equivalents of the Ten Thousand Medicine Thousand Wood Valley in various parts of this territory.

Such places were named by Lin Qian as agricultural valleys, where not only could one cultivate Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Grass, but edible plants could also be grown. Anything useful could be cultivated.

The Transportation Department here would definitely develop very quickly. Modifying existing roads was a very troublesome matter, while building new ones would actually be faster.

While Lin Qian was dealing with the affairs of these one hundred and ninety territories, within the Huaxia Empire’s Southern Domain territories, from within the western sea region, a fleet was swiftly moving towards this side.

The ships were all built from a type of dark purple wood, cutting through the wind and waves with extraordinary speed.

Atop these vessels, figures with light green skin from an odd clan stood out prominently. On the foredeck of the lead massive ship, an elder figure with light green skin stood, looking troubled towards the front. Standing beside him, a middle-aged member of the clan spoke, “Father, you say we seek refuge with the Human Clan power known as the Huaxia Empire, but will they truly accept us?”

“Although those three were trapped, they do not appear to be liars. Our clan has been expelled, and this chaotic sea region has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands of our people. It is not a place to live.”

“Our only hope lies in the Huaxia Empire mentioned by those three, hoping it’s a place where our clan can live peacefully. I hope this token does not disappoint us,” the elder said, turning to see his own people, weary and sorrowful.

Many bore wounds, gazing dimly at the vast ocean, a look of despair and loneliness in their eyes.

“But father, can we really trust the Human Clan?” the middle-aged clan member asked, looking incredulously ahead, “After all, this is the Human Clan’s territory, and we are not of the same clan.”

“Prepare yourself, child. It’s possible we will become a vassal clan of this Huaxia Empire, slaves and servants.”

“Slaves and servants? That is indeed hard to accept!”

“To live is to have hope. It’s still much better than being wiped out. I just hope that the ruler of this Huaxia Empire is as kind-hearted as those three described.”

As the two of them spoke, the sea water in front induced several figures to surge forth above the waves underfoot.

In an instant, this tranquil sea area was topped by towering waves, forming into a massive wall of water, perpendicularly barring the path of the fleet.

Forced by the gigantic wave, the fleet halted, the elder and middle-aged clan member looking in astonishment towards the front.

Atop the waves, members of the Sea Clan began to appear, including the known Eight-Armed Sea Clan, the Water Spirit Clan, the Giant Claw Clan, and the Clam Clan.

Leading them, a young member of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan with piercing eyes stared over, his voice imbued with Soul Power echoing, “You have entered the Huaxia Empire’s sea territory. I am Zhang Zide, the Wave Stepping General of the Huaxia Empire. Step further at your own peril, and do not blame our Wave Stepping Army for being inhospitable.”

“Halt!” The myriad of different Sea Clan members simultaneously shouted toward them.

“The Huaxia Empire?” The leading elder of the clan looked in shock at what lay before him, confused by the situation, “Isn’t the Huaxia Empire a Human Clan power?”
