Chapter 519: Chapter 332: The War Begins

Mountain and Sea Realm, Fenghua City, every ten days, there would be a large volume of resources and personnel transported here.

As productive capacity steadily increased and its reputation spread outward, the number of civilians settling in for a contented life here continued to grow.

In the blink of an eye, this unceasing transportation had been ongoing for half a year.

Winter had passed and spring had arrived; it was now summer. The scorching sun seemed as if soaked in oil, radiating intense heat. Perhaps the sun too was intoxicated by the massive development, which is why the twilight afterglow faded into a night tinged with a touch of flush.

In the heat of the mighty summer, the mood of the local civilians, hopeful for a bright future, was equally fiery.

...

During the high-level meeting at Turtle Mansion, the specialized administrative team reported on recent development progress.

"There are 23 towns and 130 villages near Fenghua City. The number of residents has reached 500,000 and is expected to continue to increase. Telegraph communication has been fully established."

With an increase in population, managing becomes more complex.

However, the existence of the telegraph enables the management team to handle certain emergencies more easily.

"The current labor quality of the population is generally low, and their level of education is not high; they can only do simple energy-intensive tasks. Fortunately, after dealing with the local Evil God, there is plenty of land available for reclamation, so there’s no need to worry about these people being idle."

"Is there enough food?" someone asked, raising their hand.

"At present, the self-sufficiency rate of food is around 140%. If we breed livestock on a large scale, it might not be sufficient. In fact, these people don’t have high demands; having enough to eat satisfies them, making them a cheap labor force."

"The reclaimed land mostly belongs to Turtle Mansion. By leasing it to farmers through a land-contracting system, it is a form of disguised public ownership. If we need to build railways in the future, this could reduce the trouble of land acquisition."

In fact, whether on Earth or Blue Star, even in the old capitalist developed countries, public ownership systems are indispensable. Companies like Airbus, Siemens, and Volkswagen are essentially state-owned enterprises, and even in the capitalist pinnacle, the Meili Empire, there are many state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, consolidating the land at this stage has not led to differences in opinion.

...

Every time they listened to such development reports, everyone present would feel a subtle sense of achievement.

Starting from scratch in a destitute place and developing to where they were now was truly not easy.

Next, an elder from the Black-clothed Guard began to speak, "Good afternoon, friends. Because of some unknown reason, the flow of time in the Mountain and Sea Realm is currently about ten times faster than the outside world. This has been going on for six months. The specific reason has not yet been found."

"According to the messages passed down from Fu Tianyuan and others of the Kunlun lineage, the situation of the ’West King’ is not good. The decisive battle at Kunlun Peak may not be far away."

"The loyal general ’Diting’ has also indicated that the City God Temple will be brought to Kunlun Peak soon."

"Friends, have you all made the necessary preparations for the war?"

A military expert shook his head and said, "It’s impossible to be fully prepared; we don’t know the scale of the upcoming battle or the power levels involved. Furthermore, there’s almost no trace of the Emperor of Heaven, not even the Kunlun Mirror can find his presence anymore."

"This suggests that the last time Fu Tianyuan and the others found him, it might have been intentional by the Emperor of Heaven. This point is very subtle."

The Number One elder said, "But Diting has already hinted that it will soon take action...even if we wanted to wait, we have no choice."

"Besides the dog, have any other entities within the Taoist Temple reacted?"

Over the past six months, professionals had been responsible for communicating with the entities within the temple.

Those two turtles and the thousand Turtle Soldiers and Turtle Generals were naturally the easiest to communicate with and willing to work for humans.

But compared to the war at Kunlun Peak, they were too weak.

Right, apart from the turtles, a bull had recently joined the temple—one of the few hundred Evil Gods captured, it was the only one that passed through the "Way of the Heavenly God" and was appointed a minor official at the Heavenly Gate.

This was truly an astonishing affair.

The bull hadn’t done any evil deeds; it was a water buffalo that had become enlightened from a remote village.

Its nature was quite mild, protecting a small village.

The bull was also the agreeable type, but it had no combat strength, even less useful than the turtles.

"The most powerful sphere is completely uncommunicable; the Dragon, aside from mockery, it seems unable to produce other words; the well can still communicate, but it’s specifically responsible for transporting materials, not fighting, and is reticent about this matter."

Divination Master Jenny reported at the round table; these past several days she had spared no effort and was utterly exhausted.

"The dog, or rather Diting, is only aware that it needs to bring the City God Temple to Kunlun Peak soon."

"Is it impossible to communicate with the sphere?"

"The sphere might be restricted from communicating due to the ’Game,’" Jenny explained, "but I believe that the Dragon will take action. Although it spends all day mocking, overall, it’s pretty friendly."

"Friendly even through mockery?"

"This kind of mockery is roughly equivalent to saying you’re so weak, why aren’t you eating more to get stronger? After dealing with it for a long time, it’s clear that’s just how the Dragon is. When I asked if it would join the fight, it mocked the heavens full of gods and deities, calling them all weak."

"So I believe it will take action."
