[Qin Yu]: I have sent out all of the Dictators you sent me to watch the Land Imps work.
Lin Yuan could not help but be impressed by Qin Yu when he saw the message.
Lin Yuan felt that it was very praiseworthy that Qin Yu could pick up on the Land Imps' issues while he was leading them.
[Lin Yuan]: The first batch of sea clan experts should be near the Startling Lines Continent by the time the 12 million Land Imps reach you. I will instruct them to make contact with you and they will do their best to assist you with the construction!
Now that he was done communicating with Qin Yu, Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
He took out a piece of paper and began concentrating on drawing up a layout so he could visualize how the five dimensional worlds would be connected to the main world.
Lin Yuan intended to finish all the preparation work before he fused the worlds.
For someone like Lin Yuan who always liked to be ready as early as possible, he was never careless when it came to preparation work.
He knew that the coming few days would be the last peaceful ones for a long time.
Wen Yu sent a message to Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
[Wen Yu]: Young Master, I am done investigating all the land on the other side of the Barren Sea! I told every federation ruler here about the dead spirits crisis. Many of them were very rude to us. A few of them outright ordered their men to attack me without giving me the chance to speak. Thanks to Dazzling Silver and the rest, there haven't been any serious injuries. Naturally, there were some who were willing to listen and asked for help with their migration. Miss Chu Ci, Bei Xu, and I have collected every Continent Vein Core. There are a total of 21 of them. They are all in my possession.
Lin Yuan's face lit up.
Although Wen Yu had made sure to mention Chu Ci and Bei Xu, Lin Yuan knew that they had not provided her with much help. Rather, she would have had to go the extra mile to take care of the two of them.
Wen Yu had managed to obtain 21 Continent Vein Cores. This was not only more than what Lin Yuan had been expecting but she also completed the task sooner than he had expected.
[Lin Yuan]: Wen Yu, I am in the Radiance Federation now. I will immediately travel to Sky Bearer City through the Space Tunnel. Let's talk more when we meet!
Lin Yuan stored away the completed layout diagram before he immediately headed to the Space Tunnel situated at the entrance of the Class 6 marsh dimensional rift.
He believed that he would have no need to head to the other side of the Barren Sea again after this trip to Sky Bearer City!
It was already Lin Yuan's biggest act of kindness for him to tell the human federations on the other side of the Barren Sea about the news of the impending dead spirits crisis. He had even offered them the opportunity to relocate. If the rulers had been willing to relocate, Lin Yuan could have relocated every citizen from the federations to the Radiance Federation where their survival would be assured.
Lin Yuan did not have the time for Wen Yu to try to persuade the federations who attacked her without giving her the chance to say her piece. After all, he had to incur costs and it took up time for him to relocate the federations' citizens.
When he arrived at Sky Bearer City, Wen Yu was waiting for him by the entrance.
Once she spotted him, Wen Yu began telling him everything that had happened.
When she was done with her report, Wen Yu said softly, "I discovered a total of 37 federations on the other side of the Barren Sea. After hearing my warning, only nine of them have agreed to relocate. The other 28 seem to have absolutely no inclination to relocate. There are even a few who, after hearing my repeated warnings, said they wanted to work together to take me down! Young Master, how should we handle these nine federations?"
Wen Yu's beginnings came from the Radiant Moon Palace and she used to be a moon attendant.
Although moon attendants did not have much real authority in the Radiant Moon Palace, it was still a very prestigious position. They represented the Radiant Moon Palace whenever the Radiance Federation interacted with other factions.
With her prestigious upbringing, Wen Yu was able to see things with exceptional clarity.
It was because of this that she did not ask about the other 28 federations at all. Even if Lin Yuan wanted to save the 28 federations, they did not deserve to be saved by him.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before he asked Wen Yu, "What is the population size of the nine federations?"
Wen Yu immediately answered, "These nine federations who agreed to relocate are all considered the weaker ones among all the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea. Rather than saying that I managed to convince them, it would be more accurate to say that they are just seizing any opportunity to change their fates! These nine federations have a combined population that is smaller than the Radiance Federation's major cities. But it won't be easy to relocate them."
Lin Yuan nodded gently.
If the nine federations had a combined population that was smaller than one of the Radiance Federation's major cities, it would take around two days to relocate all of them.
Two days later, most of the people from the federations participating in the Major Federation Union would have arrived in the Radiance Federation's vicinity.
By the time the people from the nine federations were relocated, it would also be time for Lin Yuan to return to the Radiance Federation and begin the process of combining the main world with the dimensional worlds!
Lin Yuan released the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle from the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It had become a mobile piece of land.
Lin Yuan could move the people from the nine federations to the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle's back and send them to the marsh world.
Even if the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle could not move all the people at once, it would be done in two or three trips.
The only part of the plan that would take up time was moving all the people from the nine federations onto the Land-Lifting Marsh Turtle's back.
Lin Yuan received the 21 Continent Vein Cores from Wen Yu and placed them all next to the Abyss Red Lotus. The Abyss Red Lotus' roots soon wrapped around the 21 Continent Vein Cores.
He would be able to tap into the power in the Continent Vein Cores when he fused with the Abyss Red Lotus.
Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci and saw that she had become tanner after baking in the sun on the other side of the Barren Sea. But the light oat coloring made her seem more energetic than before.
Lin Yuan reached out and pressed down on the stray strands of hair on Chu Ci's head that were sticking out as he asked with a smile, "Previously, you were constantly talking about wanting to go to train. So how was your time training with Wen Yu?"
Normally, Chu Ci would become jittery with excitement when Lin Yuan asked her such a question.
But now, she felt strangely calm when she answered his question.
After a moment's contemplation, Chu Ci said seriously, "Big Brother, I was able to get a good look at this work during my time with Sister Wen Yu! I used to think that we had a tough childhood. But now, I don't think we can call our childhoods tough at all!"
Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci with satisfaction. She was finally beginning to understand that this world was filled with pain and hardship. It could be said that it was only at this moment that she truly began understanding this world.
Chu Ci was only 17 years old. This made her old enough to learn the fact that living in this world was arduous.
Lin Yuan's gladness did not last long before he heard Chu Ci say seriously, "Big Brother, I heard from Sister Wen Yu that there will be a dead spirits crisis arriving very soon. I want to…"
Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by Lin Yuan.
"Chu Ci, you will have plenty of opportunities to grow. I will definitely be taking you with me to another world in the future! I hope you can grow in a safe environment instead of a perilous one. I will find a safe place for you to stay and where you can increase your power. The dead spirits crisis will last for a very long time. It won't be too late for you to continue training once you become sufficiently strong!"
Lin Yuan spoke in a decisive tone. There was no one in this world who knew Chu Ci better than Lin Yuan did.
Chu Ci was very strong-headed. If he did not shoot her down, she would bite down on any shred of hope and refuse to let go.
Chu Ci had called him 'Big Brother' twice. It was likely that she would be calling him 'Lin Yuan' again after what he just said.
Chu Ci looked back at Wen Yu after she heard what Lin Yuan said.
Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched. She was actually trying to find supporters!
Wen Yu smiled and shook her head when she met Chu Ci's gaze, signaling that she could not help. She said to Chu Ci, "Young Master is just worried about you. Don't forget that without the protection of Dazzling Silver and the rest, the two of us would have already died many times over! The dead spirits crisis won't be like our expedition for the Continent Vein Cores. It will be much more dangerous!"
Chu Ci pursed her lips and looked at Lin Yuan.
Chu Ci's emotional intelligence was not the only way in which she had grown after her training with Wen Yu. She had also gained experience and character.
As such, she could understand that Lin Yuan had made such a request because he cared about her.
"Big Brother, I know already! I will sit tight and increase my power until it reaches a level that is satisfactory to you. But once I reach that level, you have to allow me to join the fight against the dead spirits crisis!"
Chu Ci spoke with great sincerity.
Chu Ci was not insistent on participating in the dead spirits crisis.
However, her brother and master were both helping to protect the main world by fighting the dead spirits crisis.
Chu Ci also wanted to share Lin Yuan's burden and make things easier for them.
Lin Yuan was a transmigrator and the education from his previous life gave him a traditional personal value system.
However, the only family that Chu Ci had ever known was Lin Yuan. Apart from him, the only people she had in her childhood were Auntie Zhang and Uncle Li. Thus, there were very few people who she cared about in this world. Cold Moon, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and the others only entered her life later.
Nonetheless, she only wanted to protect these precious people who were part of her small circle. She felt no noble obligation to save the world.
When Lin Yuan heard what Chu Ci said, he could not help but hug her.
His little sister had finally grown up!
Now that he was done speaking with Chu Ci, he realized that Bei Xu was nowhere to be seen. As such, he asked Wen Yu, "What is Bei Xu doing now?"
Wen Yu immediately answered, "Young Master, I wanted to train Bei Xu so I left him behind to gather the people from the nine federations. He has not come back to Sky Bearer City yet. Thanks to the many Dictators that you assigned to me, I was able to move the people from the nine federations nearer to the Sky Bearer City very quickly."
Lin Yuan waved at Wen Yu and Chu Ci.
"Let's go. It's time for us to lead this people in their migration!"
Sky Bearer City was situated below the Grotto Continent and it made Lin Yuan feel very suffocated. He only relaxed when he arrived at the surface.
Wen Yu pointed northwest.
"The people from the federations are arriving from the northwest direction. If the Island Whales are sent to fetch them, they will be able to climb onto the Island Whales' backs very quickly."
Lin Yuan shook his head. He did not send the Vast Sea Labyrinth's Island Whales to fetch the citizens from the federations on the other side of the Barren Sea.
Firstly, the other side of the Barren Sea was far too remote. Even if the Island Whales were able to locate them, it would waste too much time.
Secondly, Vast Sea Labyrinth had been accumulating resources and had thousands of the Island Whales. Nonetheless, there still would not be enough Island Whales to move all the people from the federations.
Luckily, Lin Yuan had other means of relocating the federation citizens.
Bei Xu was keeping in contact with Wen Yu and knew that Lin Yuan would be arriving soon. Hence, he kept looking in the direction that she had left in.
Once he spotted Lin Yuan, Bei Xu stood up and started waving at him.
Bei Xu was not the kind of person who was afraid of hardship. Rather, he liked tasks that came with some difficulty as they would allow him to train himself.
However, the task that Wen Yu had given him was really challenging him.
Even if these people were easy to manage, he did not have the experience of managing millions of people. Moreover, these millions of people came from nine different factions. It was inevitable that there would be friction when they were all gathered together.
It would not be as easy as Qin Yu managing the Land Imps.
Wen Yu had assigned numerous experts to protect him but they were not able to help him to manage these people like how Sweet Vanquish could help Qin Yu to manage the Land Imps.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and waved at Bei Xu.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan realized that immediately after he arrived, faint glowing dots of light that represented the faith from many people from the nine federations.
This slightly confused Lin Yuan. But he quickly came up with a reason for this
It was likely that Wen Yu and Bei Xu had been treating these people very well during the migration process.
Wen Yu had stocked up on the Soldier Ration Radishes and probably distributed them to these people. The Soldier Ration Radishes prevented the federation citizens from starving to death.
Lin Yuan had witnessed the cruel environment of the Grotto Continent and Broiling Rock Continent. The biggest dream of the regular citizens living on the other side of the Barren Sea was to have a proper meal.
It was because of this reason that all of them had pinned their hopes onto him.
