Chapter 651: Chapter 652: Preparing to Leave

“We’re returning to the Huaxia Empire now!”

Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian, the two Clan Leaders, exchanged glances, looking at Lin Qian with awe. The man truly acted with thunderous swiftness.

However, regarding Lin Qian’s decision, Cui Bailin had some doubts, “Your Majesty Lin, isn’t this too sudden? Our two clans may not be large, but together, we have over fifty million people. Migrating in such haste might not be so simple.”

“You needn’t worry about this matter; I have my methods.” Seeing the worry on Cui Bailin’s face, Lin Qian spoke reassuringly, gesturing that there was no need for concern.

Hearing this, Cui Bailin nodded inwardly, recalling Mu Houde’s instructions: “If that is the case, we shall await Your Majesty’s orders.”

Afterwards, Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian kneeled before Lin Qian and made a heart demon oath, swearing loyalty and pledging never to betray him.

At that moment, they were influenced by the imperial might and talent within Lin Qian, gradually and imperceptibly filling with loyalty towards him.

Once all this was done, Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian hurried away, ready to arrange for their clansmen to pack up and head towards the Huaxia Empire.

There was no longer any need for their two clans to remain as slaves to other races.

After the two Clan Leaders had departed, the three Elders standing behind them showed a trace of worry. Zhou Yian spoke up directly, “Your Majesty, if we leave, what about the relic? If the Wind Swift Clan comes to this underground world and barges into the relic without any understanding, they might destroy the Array.”

“That relic has already disappeared,” Lin Qian replied with a mysterious smile after Zhou Yian expressed his concerns, “Don’t worry about that.”

At this moment, the relic had already been surrounded by an Illusion Array. The Illusion Array set up by the Huaxia Empire’s Heavenly Art Department was something the Wind Swift Clan, with their strength, couldn’t possibly discover. There was absolutely no need to worry.

Now that the three Elders had been fully rescued, and the Green Spirit Clan and Earth Spirit Clan had also decided to join the Huaxia Empire, preparing to follow him back, the journey had not been in vain.

At present, all that was required was to safely transport the two clans back to the Huaxia Empire.

Lin Qian never worried about transporting the two clans.

He simply had to summon the Sky Soaring Battleship, which could completely take them all back to the Huaxia Empire, safe and sound.

Lin Qian stood in the village of the Green Spirit Clan, looking up at the vast cave above. After the death of the Purple Demon Fish, the purple force that sealed the cave had entirely vanished.

“Speaking of which, Little Qian, I’ve just thought of something.” Approaching Lin Qian’s side, Ye Xin also looked up, speaking quietly, “Why is it that when the Ancient war happened, the Soul Martial Continent above collapsed with mountains and rivers turned upside-down, yet the underground world remained unchanged?”

“Hm?” Ye Xin’s words caused Lin Qian to look at her curiously, “Xinxin, what do you mean by that?”

Seeing that Lin Qian was still somewhat puzzled, Ye Xin spoke with curiosity, “Think about it, Little Qian, the entire underground world is covered by a Spatial Array, bearing the land and seas above us. Why have they never collapsed down here after all the upheaval above?”

“The lands and seas above changed drastically due to the impacts of the Ancient war, and an earth-shattering battle did erupt in the underground world as well, but the chaos was only among the Spatial Arrays that divided the underground world into pieces. The land’s structure in the underground world hasn’t changed at all.”

“These past days, with some spare time, I’ve been perusing the maps within this village and noticed that aside from being divided into sections, the terrain of the underground world seems to remain unchanged, incredibly steadfast.”

Ye Xin’s words suddenly reminded Lin Qian of something. During his time in Ancient Forest State, despite continuous warfare, the land remained exceedingly firm.

Battles among the powerful on the surface world would have surely resulted in a pockmarked landscape by now. However, during fights in the underground world, such a scenario had never occurred.

The ground of the underground world was exceptionally firm, completely immovable.

“What on earth is going on with the Soul Martial Continent?” Lin Qian looked down at the land beneath his feet, murmuring to himself, “It seems that this land is far more complicated than I had imagined.”

“Otherwise, the Black Demon, a powerful being from outer space, wouldn’t be so bent on doing something to the Soul Martial Continent.”

Thinking of this, Lin Qian’s mind was filled with puzzles, wondering what the situation was with the Soul Martial Continent.

The underground world was immense, with nearly fifty million people from the Green Spirit Clan and Earth Spirit Clan living scattered across this land, once cultivating Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Wood, and Soul Beasts with the Muling Clan for the Wind Swift Clan.

The Earth Spirit Clan was outstanding at raising Soul Beasts, not only because of their abundant experience but mainly due to their Soul Power, which could feed the Soul Beasts, making them grow very plump and tender.

Originally, consuming the meat of some Soul Beasts could enhance one’s physique and greatly alleviate the consumption within the body.

Moreover, it could satisfy the appetite.

With the Earth Spirit Clan in the Huaxia Empire, the Empire’s citizens would use their cultivated Soul Beast meat in their daily meals, unknowingly strengthening their body.

Children, from a young age, could strengthen their physique.

In this way, the citizens of the Huaxia Empire had already gained an advantage over others at the starting line.

The discovery of children in the ruins had greatly stimulated Lin Qian, making him quite unwilling to accept their situation.

The cultivation civilization of this world still harbors such powerful entities. Therefore, Lin Qian was not one to admit defeat.

He believed that the Huaxia Empire must become the most dominant civilization in this world, surpassing all others!

The National Plan had already started, with the comprehensive quality of the Huaxia Empire’s citizens improving at a terrifying speed, and artificial copies widespread, allowing their combat experience to also skyrocket.

With the construction of the education department, various colleges allowed the Huaxia Empire’s citizens to systematically learn everything they needed during their growth.

Compared to the laissez-faire approach of Sects, colleges were more likely to cultivate talent.

As there were enough colleges, any school-aged child of the Huaxia Empire could enter and study in them; currently, the young generation within the Empire’s territory had already far surpassed other powers on the Soul Martial Continent.

It took nearly half a month for the Green Spirit and Earth Spirit clans to pack their belongings and gather at the exit.

Looking around, to the left were handsome men and beautiful women, to the right, a crowd of dark-skinned and robust individuals.

At the very front of the two clans, Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian respectfully bowed to Lin Qian: “Your Majesty, all our clan members are here now.”

“How is it, do you have a way to get out?” Lin Qian asked, looking at the two Clan Leaders in front of him.

Both nodded in response, “No problem, our clans’ Soul Martial Artists aren’t strong in combat, but we have enough power to take all our clan members and flee.”

“Once we get to the seaside, that’ll be good. Then you will see the true strength of the Huaxia Empire, where you will live from now on.”
