Chapter 507: Chapter 507 Another Winter

Everyone looked at each other in confusion; wasn’t the purpose of convening this meeting to create difficulties for Kapala Island?

Initially, they thought Kapala Island would be in deep trouble this time. As long as they were panicked, opportunities would arise. Despite Kapala Island’s current swaggering appearance, they had only dealt with some small gangs.

These gangs were not well-organized, and they didn’t have the backing of any powerful entities.

And yet, these groups were effortlessly wiped out, granting huge prestige to Kapala Island.

What they hadn’t anticipated was that Kapala Island had already preempted such a scenario from the beginning, and their own arrival here had become a joke.

No one expected Kapala Island to suddenly propose upgrading Worm Island, throwing the entire meeting off course. Looking around, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

"Worm Island does not meet the standards because they are not large in size."

Someone quickly spotted the issue; the evaluation of islands had always been based on their size.

But Worm Island was unique because it was mostly made of land formed by Land Creation Worms. Without modifications, the land was unusable, and underneath there was a vast sea.

Should there be any issue, these areas could collapse at any moment.

Even a slightly more intense battle could shatter the island.

And if a Legendary Expert were to battle here, just the aftershocks could pulverize the vast terrain. So, it did not meet the requirements or the standards.

"Indeed, that land is not true land, and it’s inadmissible no matter the size."

People scrambled to denounce it—even if they couldn’t benefit this time, they couldn’t let others reap the rewards either.

"Wait a minute, it seems that the representatives of Worm Island have not arrived."

Nonsense, Worm Island had only two people, and officially, the two weren’t even from the same camp. None of their subordinates were considered Elites due to a lack of combat experience, let alone Heroes.

Thus, they couldn’t even find a spokesperson for Worm Island.

To hire someone else, putting trust issues aside, it would be quite shameful. A force that couldn’t even muster a few sane individuals was indeed rare.

"The esteemed delegates of Worm Island have other matters; I can represent them."

"No, you cannot represent them. According to the rules, one person can only represent one island. In significant matters, no one is allowed to vote or speak on behalf of multiple islands simultaneously."

People were pleased, finally able to shut this person down.

Lu Karl didn’t mind. He had only raised the issue as a distraction. Success would be great, but there was no loss in failure.

After all, this wasn’t something he had planned from the start.

Lu Karl closed his mouth and stopped talking to the others.

Realizing the situation, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do. After a long while, the council member spoke up, "If no one has any objections, then this meeting is adjourned."

Everyone was irate, having not achieved their goals and being ridiculed in the process.

Key to this was that they now absolutely dared not trouble Kapala Island outside of the rules. Carrying the momentum of victory, Kapala Island’s morale was high, and their combat effectiveness would receive significant bonuses.

The meeting ended inconclusively, and the transition of authority over Kapala Island settled into dust.

Despite there still being an exiled government from the original Kapala Island, yes, that entity still existed.

Although enemies, Kapala Island did not issue a warrant for their arrest but allowed their existence. They were not of the main direct lineage but mere branches.

Now this exiled government had formed, merely aiming to seize some advantage.

With the occupation of Kapala Island over and army mobilization completed, Fang Jie, having been busy for so long, could finally relax. At this moment, he even felt some regret.

If it hadn’t been for his confirmed relationship with Qin Lan, he wouldn’t have been dragged out to work.

Indeed, Fang Jie had plenty of free time and had been planning to find an opportunity for secluded Cultivation. But unexpectedly, Qin Lan pulled him out instead. And before he knew it, he had been busy until now.

Only now, with most issues nearly resolved, could he step out.

Looking up at the sky, snowflakes slowly began to fall, increasing in number. The entire sky seemed to change within a short time. Not only Fang Jie noticed this but also everyone around him.

Before long, Fang Jie saw yellowing leaves on the plants outside begin to fall rapidly.

The trees became bare, quickly covered by a layer of snow.

The ground color also changed quickly to that white edge; the unchanged middle was mostly their own cultivated farmland. In an instant, the growth rate of the crops in the fields slowed, matching the surrounding colors.

"Winter has arrived, another winter," Fang Jie murmured to himself.

It had been nearly two years since he arrived in this world. This was his second winter here; during the last one, the New Moon and Blue Sand Kingdoms were still fiercely competing due to his machinations.

But now, he no longer cared about the two kingdoms.

Even the Southern Territory further south had stocked enough food so that no one would starve during winter.

"Indeed, it looks like it’s time to get busy again. The housing in the Southern Territory is insufficient. If we don’t solve this quickly, people will freeze to death." Food was stocked, and next were clothing and shelter.

Hearing this, Fang Jie’s mood suddenly changed, "Wait, let them be busy with that. I’m not going. I need to focus on Cultivating myself to break through to the Golden Level; I don’t have so much time to waste."

"I know, I know, the sooner you break through, the more you can upgrade the Territory Level."

Qin Lan certainly understood the importance of Fang Jie’s strength—this was the foundation for further development of the Territory. Although she didn’t know the reason, it would definitely benefit the future development of the Territory.

And for Fang Jie’s Territory, his own strength was the most crucial foundation. Only with Fang Jie’s Territory growing stronger would it become stable, and any new ground would be easier to develop.

The reason she had pulled Fang Jie in initially was just to spend more time with him.

After all, having Fang Jie idle while she was busy would irk Qin Lan as well.
