Chapter 230 - Eruption (1/2)

“Realm of Dao?” Meng Chuan looked at his wife and couldn’t help but feel delighted. Now that the world was chaotic, he naturally hoped for his wife to become stronger.

“It’s all thanks to that phoenix feather you gave me, Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “Ever since I absorbed the phoenix feather’s power, my bloodline has become purer, and my affinity with fire has grown. I finally reached the Realm of Dao today.”

Meng Chuan nodded and smiled. “Continue working hard. Quickly condense an Essence Soul and become a Marquis G.o.dfiend.”

“The phoenix flames have the power of life. They can heal me and nurture the Essence Soul,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “Even if I don’t seek answers from my inner self, I will naturally nurture an Essence Soul in a decade or two.”

“That’s too slow. Work hard to condense an Essence Soul in three years,” said Meng Chuan.

“Alright.” Liu Qiyue smiled and nodded. However, she knew that condensing an Essence Soul wasn’t easy.

In a village fort.

“Clan Leader, our Earth Net is spread throughout the world. I can tell you with certainty that demon monarch attacks on village forts will become more and more common. Thousands of people are gathered in village forts. The demon monarchs will definitely target them first. Therefore, give up the village forts and move out. Let the clansmen live separately.” An Earth Net officer tried to persuade the people living here to leave.

The clan leader and several clan elders looked at each other.

“Our Li clan has lived here for more than a thousand years. How can we give up our ancestral land so easily?”

“There have been very few demon monarch attacks recently. If the demon monarchs come, we can hide in the tunnels until the G.o.dfiends rescue us.”

“Where are we going to stay after leaving the village fort? Can we enter the cities?”

The clan leader and elders spoke one after another.

The Earth Net officer sighed. “The prices of land and houses in the city are getting higher and higher. If you want to move to the city, you will have to rely on yourself. My suggestion for moving out is to live separately… A large village fort will be divided into hundreds of small villages. We are currently persuading various village forts to move. Quite a few have started moving.

“The number of demon monarchs is ultimately fewer than mortals. There are occasional attacks in a county. It’s even less likely for them to attack a small village. This is the only solution,” advised the Earth Net officer.

“Small village? Does that mean we have to leave things up to fate? Being targeted by a demon monarch means death,” said an elder.

“In a county, there are tens of thousands of small villages scattered everywhere. The chances of encountering a demon monarch are very low,” said the Earth Net officer. “This is already the safest solution. In fact, the more scattered you are, the lower the chances of being attacked. The more people that gather, the likelier it is to encounter a demon monarch. Demon monarchs will easily slaughter you if you stay as a large group.

“It’ll be difficult for demon monarchs to find you if thousands of people are scattered everywhere. Staying here will just quicken the slaughter,” said the Earth Net officer. “Against demon monarchs, village forts are useless. They’re just large graveyards.”

…

“Let’s move. Archean Mountain has its reasons for persuading the various village forts. Let’s move first. If we discover that it’s not as dangerous as Archean Mountain says, we’ll move back. I believe no one will occupy our fort.”

“Let’s move.”

…

“Young people should leave. I’m already so old. I’ll die in our ancestral land.”

“Us old fogies aren’t moving too.”

…

For the past few days, many village forts across the world were persuaded to relocate. Archean Mountain, Two World Island, and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven were very influential within their respective dynasties. Most of the villagers in village forts began to move away.

Those that were capable would directly enter a city. After all, a village fort contained thousands of people. Experts also lived in those village forts.

Those who did not have the capability split up and moved to scattered villages. Some moved to secluded areas. It was normal for three to five families to live in seclusion deep within the mountains.
