Chapter 834: Chapter 162 Current Situation of Liucui Island (2/3)

Let’s put aside the small tricks that the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao might be up to for now.

The unique situation in the Great Wilderness Realm made Chenyinzi ponder for a moment: "Can your mysterious background help you?"

[Of course it can, but the premise is that I must complete the ’exploration task’ in this world.]

The power of the Endless Heavens is unimaginable; it can naturally transcend the limitations of the Great Wilderness Realm. Mingguang Dust also knows this, but the Endless Heavens is not something that can be used casually. It requires Mingguang Dust to complete the exploration of the Great Wilderness Realm before opening the cross-realm transmission function.

"What’s the content of the task? Can we help you?"

Chenyinzi inquired, and Mingguang Dust pondered for a moment: [Perhaps help is really possible. Although this Great Void Altar cannot bring me back, transmitting some supplies to the Great Wilderness Realm is no problem. However, to avoid being rejected by the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao and not being detected by the Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao, I think it’s best to ’exchange.’ I will prepare some local spiritual objects and specialties for sacrificial trade between the two realms.]

[As for the task content, it’s actually very simple: I need to completely occupy Liucui Island and establish a foothold on the Great Wilderness continent.]

"It doesn’t sound difficult," Chenyinzi said.

[It’s actually very difficult,] Mingguang Dust smiled bitterly: [At first, I thought Liucui Island was just a remote island. As someone in the Manifested Saint Realm, even if I can’t exert my full strength, it should still be easy to handle, right?]

[But in reality, as I mentioned before, this is an island transformed from a small world, and it’s truly full of hidden talents.]

Mingguang Dust shook his head, explaining the current special situation of Liucui Island.

As it turns out, for the human dynasty of Tianyu in the Great Wilderness Realm, Liucui Island is indeed a remote, rural place. But no one said that rural places don’t have any visitors!

Especially since Liucui Island is located between many small cave skies in the Heavenly Sea and the Great Wilderness continent, it has great potential as a midpoint for opening trade. Thus, there have always been immigrants, at least nominally, coming to settle.

But the reason they are only nominal is that the indigenous ratmen of this island have already become quite prosperous.

Speaking of ratmen, they are actually humans with some mouse-like ears and tails, smaller in stature. These ratmen are keen on communal living, and they have developed hundreds of small tribes and a small kingdom on the island; their level of civilization has reached the point of building cities and worshipping ancestor spirits. The power of each major tribe’s ancestor spirit is at least at the Martial Meridian Realm, with the strongest even reaching the Divine Concealment Realm and possessing genuine divine might.

The ratmen tribes and kingdom are extremely resistant to foreign immigrants. They have an agreement with the coastal officials of Tianyu not to really bring immigrants to Liucui Island, and they offer the island’s spirit stones and spiritual objects as bribes.

Naturally, the Tianyu officials do not refuse; they get the bribes from Liucui Island and also take the immigrants’ settlement funds. Occasionally, a failure can balance the accounts, which is too comfortable, so the two sides reach a tacit agreement to treat the immigrant task as a way to deal with unstable elements, constantly sending people to the island to die.

If it were just this, Mingguang Dust’s strength would be enough to solve it.

However, Mingguang Dust, proficient in Fate Pattern secret techniques, knows that if he doesn’t silently and quickly solve the ratman kingdom’s racial god, it will trigger a backlash of this race’s destiny.

The ratman kingdom is now divided into hundreds of tribes, each worshipping its own ancestor. But if Mingguang Dust begins to slaughter this race wantonly—he doesn’t intend to do so—or attacks their ancestor spirits, the whole ratman kingdom will quickly awaken its racial consciousness, and at the fastest speed, coalesce a racial god.

The ratmen have cultivators and priest-wizards, though primitive, they are fundamentally solid. It might be difficult for them to gather a god of the Manifested Saint Realm, but they can certainly cause great disturbances and attract the attention of Tianyu.

Not to mention, things are not that simple.

In the Great Wilderness Realm, population and faith are hard currency. The Tianyu people may look down on the ratmen, but other forces don’t.

The area where Mingguang Dust is currently located is in the northern part of Liucui Island, close to Tianyu’s territory. To the east is a colony established by the ’Heavenly Phoenix,’ where some phoenix birds have subdued some ratmen with their divine skills and established several farming settlements.

To the west, there are several trade stations set up by ’Emperor Dragon.’ These dragon snakes protect the ratmen’s coastal fish harvests and receive a lot of incense worship.

Both the dragons and phoenixes are powerful forces ruled by a few with strong True Spirit Bloodlines, overseeing the myriad tribes. Unlike Tianyu, they have experience ruling other races and are not as concerned about the ratmen. Their encroachment speed on Liucui Island is fast, backed by experts comparable to the Manifested Saint Realm.

"I see. Dealing with the ratmen is one thing, but the difficulty lies with the powerful aliens behind them, and staying unnoticed."

An Jing understood his master’s current situation, which indeed isn’t solely solvable through martial power: "So master, how are your current progress and results?"

[I have established a fortress in the northern part of Liucui Island, taking in human refugees nearby, and like the Heavenly Phoenix and Emperor Dragon, I have subdued some ratman tribes—they are actually quite loyal, even more so than humans, given that the ratman kingdom is still practicing slavery. Our Huai Xu Realm’s system is far too advanced.]

Although unable to directly rule the entire Liucui Island, Mingguang Dust simply does not want to attract too much attention or cause trouble. With his strength, he can still govern a region.

Currently, he centers management fairly and justly around human immigrants, beginning to reclaim wasteland and establish order on the island. Though the stronghold is just a fortress now, it clearly has the demeanor of a small kingdom.

Mingguang Dust has confidence that as long as Tianyu, the Heavenly Phoenix, and the Emperor Dragon do not cause any trouble, he can unify the entire Liucui Island with the ratmen’s own strength, educating them into a branch of the human clan without him personally intervening!

—Hey, isn’t this a low-key Lord of the World?

An Jing thought that there seem to be more and more low-key Heavenly Mandates. Of course, it was just a joke. In fact, any Huai Xu Martial Artist would have such vision and ambition. The stage of the Great Wilderness Realm is too vast, allowing Mingguang Dust to freely exercise his talents and accomplish great deeds.

But as Mingguang Dust said, the Heavenly Phoenix and Emperor Dragon are unlikely to sit idle. The officials of Tianyu might even collaborate with external forces against his master to cover up the truth about Liucui Island immigration, proving to be another inevitable tribulation.

Don’t think it impossible; a dynasty can be this rotten. Historical records across countless worlds have documented this!

Hence, this task itself is highly challenging. Mingguang Dust must at least unify the entire Liucui Island before considering establishing a permanent stronghold on the Great Wilderness continent.

In the short term, he won’t be able to return.
