Chapter 306

Now that they are entrusted by their government with so many projects, they are more than happy to rub it in the face of those engineers and inventors.

With a couple of flashes of light, they see the Fox Spirits carrying large aquariums full of tiny colorful fish.

"All of them are quite young, they are going to be raised in a secured and secluded place near or on the city, once they reach adulthood and adapted to our world, you are to release them to the wild and continue your observation on them."

"We understand, lady Jasmine!" They saluted with straight backs.

"No need to be overly dramatic, you guys aren’t soldiers, just give me reasonable results from your test." She waves her hand and the soldiers replaced the Fox Spirits, carrying all the aquariums carefully.

"Still, I’m afraid that just having two cities as the testing ground is too small."

"Why don’t we ask our sisters that are working alongside with the researchers, they might not be professional and can’t do any test since they aren’t competent enough but they are capable enough to become observers and their recording skills are top notch."

Jasmine stops, this was a brilliant idea, this would also foster growth in her kingdoms, without hesitation, he agrees to the suggestion.

Sean doesn’t really care about what Jasmine do to the mystique creature that he just created, it was full of flaws anyway.

For him, he was still more interested in being a bum, staying at his home, not doing anything but just enjoying himself.

Meanwhile, in the Martial Alliance continent, the remaining humans that are against being ruled by the demon race were now huddled together.

"My sister has sacrificed herself to learn this information, so, what are we going to do about this piece of news?" The man asks with gritted teeth.

"We set sail, those demons are so terrified that they had destroyed the portal connecting our two sides, without it, we can only use boats to travel across the ocean."

"Easier said than done! Our continent is currently at war against the aquatic race, if we ever try to get out of here using a boat, we will be attacked by both sides!"

"Then, we can only try and negotiate with the aquatic race to let us pass through their territory."

"That is near impossible." They were mulling about their next course of action.

"Still, if only that great being actually come to our aid, it would help us a lot."

"More than half of their population was killed, there’s no one that he can trust to guard their home, it’s highly unlikely for him to go here while his home is unguarded."

"But they have the divine guardians to protect them!"

"There are only six known divine guardians, it’s not that I don’t want him to come nor I’m trying to kill your hope but just blindly hoping for a miracle is too absurd!"

"Then, what do you think we should do!?"

"Survive for the next following years, hadn’t you noticed that those creatures are no longer coming out after that great transformation?"

Everyone becomes quiet, this was true, they don’t know why but the demons had hidden themselves after the great transformation.

The only ones that are still active are actually former humans of this land.

"Those flashes of lightning that are always active when they try to go outside is a sign that this world doesn’t accept them, since that’s the case, we can only try to resist the tyranny of the traitors!"

"If only someone knew how to fix that portal, we wouldn’t need to be on the defensive."

They sigh as they can only try their best to resist the invasion of the demon race.

More days passed by.

Currently, the business venture of the three alliance city consisting of Beast City, Beast King City, and Everglazed Witch City is booming.

With flesh constantly supplied, many martial artists and mystique creatures are growing stronger just by training.

There is also one of the exclusive trades with the three alliance, blood crystals and soul shards!

Their strength are increasing rapidly, causing the other cities to become envious but at the same time, motivated.

The people from New Dawn City are now trying their best to help Dorgagon connect the rivers all over their region.

As long as this project is completed their standing will definitely rise.

In fact, they had allied with the Dragon God City to become major powers in the water trade, transporting large quantity of goods in the waterways.

Flying might be fast but it can’t compare to boats in terms of quantity of loads that they can carry.

Right now, their business is booming, the reason for this? The major powers of Golden Qi Capital are now trying to create their own territory.

This serve as their ambition and as a test.

They claim the territories that are legible to conquer, then, slowly build their own power.

The first family to successfully create their own territory is the Gold Family, followed by the Evergreen Family, then, the academy, and finally, the Alchemist Association.

It was a race to find one who truly can claim as the strongest family of their city, Sean’s family is considered the strongest of this world, they don’t claim the title of their city.

New Dawn City was roped in by Gold Family, causing the other powers to become angry.

Even if they build their own water trade business, it can’t compare to the likes of that city and with the help of the lizardmen that can travel underwater, protecting the ships and helping it move faster, the Gold Family has pull ahead of them by a large margin.

Because of this, the Evergreen Family sought partnership with the three city alliance and were successful in their negotiations.

The Alchemist Association sought partnership to Ghost God City and Glorious Knight City.

Not to be left behind, Gold Family tries to connect with the remaining cities.

It was successful with Dwarf City but is unsuccessful with Skyhigh City.

Skyhigh City is actually in a special position, it’s because, their partner might be greater than all the major powers in Golden Qi Capital combined.

The adventure guild.

Jericho has agreed to a cooperation with John and the two of them have been working together since.

Because of this, Skyhigh City is lacking in manpower and they can’t agree with any request of alliance or cooperation with other powers.

The situation is shifting for others though.

The survivors from the Core Zone has recovered and decided to create a territory of their own on myriad region.

The first family, no, two families has decided to create their own territory.

The Tatsu family and the family they are allied with marriage alliance, the Sichuan family.

With the support from Maki and Fabuki, the two families were recovering quickly and has even built a village of their own.

They are separated though, the Sichuan built their village on the territory of Skyhigh City, with the permission from John, they built their new home near a floating mountain.

The Tatsu family, on the other hand, didn’t require any special environment, they just need a quiet and secluded place that they can train their psychic energy.

So, their new home is actually a couple of distance from the territory of the academy.

They decided to integrate themselves with the help of their ladies, trying to become teachers and model students.

Each one of the members of the major families from the Core Zone are proud but they can’t raise their heads in the myriad region.

That event a couple of months ago was deeply ingrained in their minds.

Without the help of the myriad region, they wouldn’t had survived that day, their prideful ancestors were hunted and killed by the demon race, toying with them like weaklings.

The myriad region that is more terrifying than those demons is just too terrifying to actually mess with.

They might be arrogant but none of them are stupid, that’s why, the higher-ups of those families are now trying to earn higher status by working with the powerful powers or important departments.

Right now, they are actually trying to get into the government but they realized that it wasn’t like that of Federation.

It wasn’t voted amongst members but they are accepted into the lowest rank, then, they have to rise every step of the way, no one dares to give anyone a backdoor since it is equivalent on making the entire Zaki Family against you.

The divine guardians, this isn’t just a title but also a form of status.

They are treated like kings and queens, some even treated them like gods.

They have the highest rank of authority in the entire region but they actually follow a set of procedures in order to meet their demands.

Then, there’s one absolute truth in this world, might is right, the strongest has the absolute say and no one in their world is stronger than Sean.

After discovering all of this, they only sent their branch members and focuses in somewhere else.

Their status being dragged so low actually made them stifled but they can’t do anything about it.

Their most troublesome children were even locked up in their temporary houses in order to prevent any problem from happening.

This is just how much pressure they are currently on.

In a village, multiple people were working at rapid pace.

"I still can’t believe that multiple martial artists would actually accept this type of job." A breathtaking woman with green hair sighs.

"You don’t know this mother but martial artists might have outstanding status in our city but only if they reach silver rank can they be treated like nobles."

"I know, I have read the laws and conditions of this region and I am shocked by how lax they are."

"Well, our lawmakers are still working their best in creating a much more concrete sets of laws."

"With the powerful abilities of the divine guardians, together with the number and strength of the law enforcers, no one would dare try to cause any trouble."

"That is true, that’s why, it isn’t surprising in our region to see iron and bronze rank martial artists working jobs like construction and trade, they are just trying to earn a honest pay to buy mystique creatures that can help them grow."

She points at the workers. "Look carefully at them, notice anything similar?"

"There’s nothing really, there’s young people and there’s old people."

"Mother, you really need to sharpen those eyes, the people working here are extremely young and very old."

She was stunned, after hearing her daughter, she turns her head back to the workers and finally see what she’s getting at.

"That is right, either they are too young, ineligible to become adventurers, so, they used their strength some extra money, or people that had become martial artists too late and are now thinking of earning enough money to nurture a better future for their family, you rarely sees any young adult or middle aged martial artists working here and that’s only because they are injured or are resting from their journey."

"Fascinating, this region seems to be constantly on the grind."

"Yeah, it is, there’s a saying in this region, potential matters most but hard work will keep you going, if you can’t achieve it today, then, achieve it in the future, only by working hard give you a chance for a better tomorrow."

She becomes silent, this saying will be trash talked by the people in their zone but the people of this zone truly believes in it.

There are so many job slots and not enough people to get by and this won’t change as their influence and authority will only expand.

She frowns. "It seems that I need to talk to everyone, they must know this, if they continue holding on to the beliefs they have when they were in the Core Zone, it won’t be long before our advantage will disappear."
