Chapter 576: Chapter 319: Shadow City!

Kangaroo Country, near the uninhabited region.

Thanks to the occasionally long-lasting wildfires over the past few decades.

Most of the once scattered towns had been abandoned.

The remaining towns that still had people were mainly occupied by a few elderly who refused to move.

Under the charge of Kangaroo Country’s military forces, these people were quickly evacuated.

With a cordon drawn, a large number of unmanned drones and armed helicopters were deployed around the target airspace.

Patches of land near the uninhabited area were cleared.

Then, although not invited, the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country and his entourage arrived at an empty plot of land following the large troops.

They witnessed an enviable scene.

A few slender Taoists dressed in blue Taoist robes suddenly took out palm-sized gray cloth bags.

Then from the bags, they pulled out piles of various materials.

Following that, a seemingly younger Taoist with the shortest stature yet apparently the highest status began to seal gestures with his hands in front of his chest.

Swish!

Accompanied by a breeze, the surrounding space suddenly brightened at the same time.

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country’s eyes widened as he saw a golden, majestic Armored General appearing above the young Taoist!

This general’s decorations bore a strong ancient Sui and Tang style from the Eastern Ancient Country.

So much so that its appearance alone convinced various powers of its likely special connection with the ancient periods of the Eastern Ancient Country.

This glittering Armored General was in fact an Illusion transformed from the Heavenly Soldier Divine Statue inside the True Martial Demon Suppression Emperor’s Divine Temple.

Of course, even if it was just a Heavenly Soldier Divine Statue, in reality, that was equivalent to a master of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Once this Heavenly Soldier Divine Statue was awakened, it opened its divine eyes and glanced over the materials stacked like mountains.

With a wave of its hand, Divine Light fell, causing those materials to begin assembling mid-air.

Because many parts had already undergone the Artifacts Refining Master’s corresponding processing.

The Heavenly Soldier Divine Statue was actually exerting a certain Mana to control objects.

But to the uninformed outsiders,

it looked as if the Illusion of the tall and powerful deity gestured,

Making the piles of materials spontaneously form into a Taoist Temple with red walls and green tiles.

At the same time, vivid depictions of all kinds of birds and beasts emerged on the walls and pillars,

Coupled with an ineffable sense of dignity and mystery.

Anyone approaching the Taoist Temple would instinctively feel a sense of awe.

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country remembered similar videos he had seen before.

They were from the cooperation projects of the Eastern Ancient Country, where buildings of dozens of floors were instantly erected with the help of Transcendents.

The scale was much more exaggerated than what they saw here.

But ultimately, watching a video could not compare to witnessing it in person.

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country couldn’t help feeling a bit sour, wondering why his ancestors hadn’t established good relations with the Transcendent forces earlier?

As it stood, it seemed like Kangaroo Country had been forgotten.

While the workers from the Eastern Ancient Country watched the Taoists enter the newly constructed Taoist Temple to begin managing the Formation,

he noticed the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country and others, approaching with a smile:

"My apologies, Great Commander, in order to deal with potential dangers that might arise."

"Taoist Temples, Divine temples... as well as Churches built by the people from the Holy Lord Sect."

"None of these will be open to the public."

"However..."

said the worker, looking at the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country with a hint of congratulations:

"They may need quite a lot of supplies during this period."

"Everything that your country can provide, we are willing to purchase at market price."

"Purchase?"

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country was slightly shaken, no longer concerned if the financial bureaucrats would agree without prior consultation.

He immediately clenched his fist and waved it vigorously as he shouted:

"No, no, no!"

"Your presence here has protected the safety of all citizens of Kangaroo Country."

"You are the great benefactors of all of us in Kangaroo Country!"

"How can we profit from our benefactors!"

"Please rest assured to convey to our esteemed guests!"

"I, Lex, the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country, stake everything to meet the requirements of our esteemed guests to the best of my ability!"

After speaking, the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country glanced at his confidant.

Seeing his confounded expression, the Great Commander felt an inner frustration at his incompetence.

It seemed like it was time to change his position, as at this moment, capability was evidently more important than loyalty.

As for dismissing him altogether, that was out of the question.

Even though the ruler to the north held such personal charisma and determination, he still had to put up with his boat friend from the lake, his security chef, and his colleague, didn’t he?

It was only from a high position that one could understand,

In the real world,

While there were too many key positions, there were far too few reliable people to fill them.

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country had made a statement,

And had resolved that if the bureaucrats disagreed upon his return,

Then he would simply rally his friends and family to gather resources to fulfill the guests’ requirements!

The Great Commander of Kangaroo Country believed there had to be other insightful and wealthy people besides himself.

This plan was sure to be profitable in the end!

Indeed, when the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country received the first list of supplies from the workers,

Representatives from the well-known wealthy club of Kangaroo Country, bearing precious gifts and limited-edition top-grade foodstuffs produced by the cooperation projects of the Eastern Ancient Country, came to visit.

And they reached an agreement with the Great Commander of Kangaroo Country.
