Chapter 2141: Nine Provinces Migration

The Rise of Kyushu

Lu Ye returned to Kyushu and informed Little Nine of the results of his trip to Thousand Mounds.

Little Nine was overjoyed.

Ever since learning about the benefits hidden within the many mounds of Thousand Mounds, it had longed for them, practically salivating. Unfortunately, its wish remained unfulfilled until now, with this good news.

“Later, I’ll transfer some people from the Myriad Manifestations Sea to Thousand Mounds to excavate the mounds and send the findings back to Kyushu,” Lu Ye said.

Since the agreement with Green Bird was settled, she certainly wouldn't interfere. However, Thousand Mounds was not without other dangers. After the mounds were opened, tentacle-like fleshy whiskers, resembling giant worms, would emerge from within. Their destructive power when wielded was astonishing, and ordinary cultivators might not be able to contend with them, so Sun Illumination realm experts would need to be present.

This wouldn't be difficult; they could simply draw personnel from the Myriad Manifestations Sea.

“No need for such trouble,” Little Nine said. “I can directly relocate Kyushu to Thousand Mounds.”

As it spoke, it waved a rabbit paw, and several Heavenly Machine Pillars appeared before Lu Ye. “I’ll need you to make another trip to Thousand Mounds to set up these Heavenly Machine Pillars.”

Lu Ye was stunned. “You mean to directly relocate an entire realm? Is that even possible?”

Little Nine chuckled, “Have you forgotten how Kyushu arrived in the Jade Snail Galaxy back then? This is actually the greatest capability of the Heavenly Machine Compass.”

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and then realized.

Kyushu was originally located in the Hengyue Galaxy. During the great war ten thousand years ago, it suddenly vanished without a trace.

That was an ultra-long-distance relocation.

However, Lu Ye quickly realized a problem: “What about the consumption of the realm’s foundation?”

Back then, Kyushu was one of the most powerful realms in the starry sky. A single relocation had caused it to plummet to the status of an ordinary realm, requiring ten thousand years of recovery to slowly recuperate.

Therefore, this kind of relocation consumed a significant portion of the realm’s foundation.

“There will naturally be consumption, but as long as it can be replenished later, there will be no problem.”

“And what about the impact of such a relocation on the beings within Kyushu?” Current Kyushu housed beings from four major realms, an extremely vast number. Any turbulence or unexpected event could lead to countless deaths.

“At that time, I will use the power of the Asura Realm’s treasure to provide concealment and protection, so ordinary beings won’t notice a thing.”

Lu Ye nodded. Since Little Nine had made proper arrangements, he naturally had no further concerns.

He immediately took the Heavenly Machine Pillars and set off, returning to Thousand Mounds. Within this wondrous cosmic sight, he found a suitable location and, according to Little Nine's requirements, properly set up all the Heavenly Machine Pillars.

After that, there was nothing more for Lu Ye to do.

As he waited quietly, the starry sky in the area where the Heavenly Machine Pillars were set up suddenly began to tremble, as if stones had been dropped into a serene lake, causing ripples to spread layer after layer.

As the ripples spread, a faint, massive shadow slowly emerged from within, gradually solidifying.

This process continued for a full half-month before the unusual phenomena finally subsided. The realm, which should have been located in the Kyushu Galaxy, had now appeared before Lu Ye.

He swiftly entered Kyushu and spread out his divine sense to investigate. He found that, just as Little Nine had said, ordinary beings within the realm had not even noticed this great relocation. Cities and villages continued to live in peace and contentment.

However, the spiritual energy within Kyushu had noticeably thinned.

This was a sign of significant consumption of the realm’s foundation.

“Lu Ye, help me!” Little Nine appeared before Lu Ye, looking utterly miserable, as if on the verge of collapsing.

Lu Ye found himself between laughter and tears. “How am I supposed to save you?”

Little Nine’s condition was clearly not that severe.

“Help me place those Heavenly Machine Pillars into the nearby nebula mounds.”

“That’s simple.”

Lu Ye flicked his finger, and nine drops of precious blood flew out, rapidly transforming into nine blood avatars. Each avatar took a batch of Heavenly Machine Pillars and flew off in different directions.

One by one, the nebula mounds were quickly breached, and a Heavenly Machine Pillar was placed inside each one.

However, after a short while, the weariness on Little Nine’s face vanished without a trace. Its rabbit fur became much shinier and smoother. It stood up on its hind legs, paws on its hips, and laughed uproariously towards the sky: “Hahaha, I, Little Nine, am alive again!”

Little Flower Maiden stood by Lu Ye’s feet, clutching his pant leg, timidly hiding behind his heel. She had never seen Little Nine look so mischievous before.

Under Lu Ye’s divine sense perception, he could clearly feel the continuous changes in Kyushu’s spiritual energy. He was delighted, thinking that at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Kyushu ascended to the status of a top-tier realm.

With the countless nebula mounds of Thousand Mounds providing resources, the plan to cultivate peak Sun Illumination realm experts could officially begin.

He didn’t need to worry about this matter; Old Tree would handle the overall arrangements.

Old Tree had avatars within Kyushu, so he could naturally observe the changes in Kyushu clearly. With Kyushu assisting in improving cultivators’ spiritual power and the Soul Clan Ancestral Land aiding in soul cultivation, these dual approaches would lead to a dramatic increase in the growth rate of all the talented Sun Illumination realm experts in the starry sky.

Lu Ye could almost foresee that in the future, a large number of Dao Realm cultivators would emerge in the starry sky, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

With matters here concluded, Lu Ye greeted Old Tree and informed him of his previous agreement with Green Bird.

When it came to finding dancing girls, the more people involved, the better. With Old Tree helping to spread the word, he believed there would soon be results.

Lu Ye left Kyushu and visited Green Bird again. After receiving her promise to look after Kyushu incidentally, he left with peace of mind.

Several days later, Lu Ye appeared at the wormhole connecting the Kyushu Galaxy to the Myriad Manifestations Sea.

The place was already deserted.

Wormholes were typically guarded to prevent individuals from sneaking into galaxies and committing misdeeds. However, guards were no longer necessary in the Kyushu Galaxy. This was not only true for this galaxy but for others as well. In the unprecedented environment of unity across the entire starry sky, anyone attempting to disrupt this peace would become a public enemy.

He leisurely passed through the wormhole.

After many years, he finally returned to the Myriad Manifestations Galaxy!

In the distance, the magnificent yet familiar Myriad Manifestations Sea came into view, and Lu Ye soared towards it.

Less than half a day later, on Three Realms Island, numerous powerful individuals gathered in the Council Hall.

Several major Sun Illumination realm experts from the island were present, and Ma Bin had also returned. Years ago, he had pursued Chang Feng, but at the last moment, Chang Feng was captured by the Ghost Sedan. Ma Bin then spent several years searching for Chang Feng's whereabouts, always without success, and was forced to return to Three Realms Island.

It wasn't until Jiu Yan returned a few days ago that Ma Bin learned from her that Chang Feng had died. Although Chang Feng wasn't killed by Lu Ye directly, Lu Ye was greatly involved in his demise.

The reason he pursued Chang Feng was because of Lu Ye. Now that Chang Feng had died because of Lu Ye, their past grievances were considered settled.

In addition to the many powerful individuals from the island, Jiu Yan had also teleported over from Myriad Manifestations Island.

Furthermore, Sun Illumination realm experts from other major spirit islands had all converged here.

Before Lu Ye’s return, they had already learned much about the Star Abyss from Jiu Yan, and also received information from Old Tree over the years. Therefore, everyone had some understanding of the impending major event.

They were now gathered to discuss future defense matters.

The Myriad Manifestations Sea was one of the vulnerable points. The Star Abyss Gate was destined to open, and at that time, this prosperous region would become a battlefield in the starry sky.

Undoubtedly, Three Realms Island would become the main force, simply because they possessed a supreme treasure of the starry sky!

Although Jiu Yan was a Myriad Manifestations cultivator, she was clearly aligned with Three Realms Island. As a Nine Dao expert, she was also a primary force in resisting the Star Abyss invasion.

As the various Sun Illumination realm experts spoke in turn, Lu Ye gradually gained an understanding of the changes in the Myriad Manifestations Sea in recent years.

Currently, there were no longer any barren islands in the entire Myriad Manifestations Sea; the worst were now low-grade spirit islands. The activity of cosmic spiritual energy seemed particularly pronounced in the Myriad Manifestations Sea.

Originally low-grade spirit islands had advanced to mid-grade spirit islands, and what were once mid-grade spirit islands had become high-grade or even top-tier spirit islands...

For islands like Three Realms Island, which were already top-tier spirit islands, the spiritual energy within them was incredibly dense, to the point that even defensive formations couldn't store it all.

In such an environment, all cultivators entered a golden age of cultivation.

In the past, the number of top-tier spirit islands in the entire Myriad Manifestations Sea was limited, and countless years of change hadn't altered this. But now, there were nearly a hundred top-tier spirit islands alone!

“All top-tier spirit islands have opened their permissions, allowing more cultivators to enter and practice, regardless of their faction. While ensuring that cultivation efficiency isn't affected, each top-tier spirit island’s capacity has nearly reached its limit. This measure was a unified consensus reached by all forces five years ago during the Myriad Manifestations Grand Assembly,” Luan Xiao'e reported to Lu Ye from the side.

Lu Ye nodded. “This is good. In times of crisis like these, it is indeed necessary to be more accommodating. No individual or force should hoard their resources any longer.”

He had actually already noticed this, as there were many new faces on Three Realms Island, and these strangers were clearly not cultivators from the Kyushu Galaxy.

“Those that couldn’t be accommodated by the top-tier spirit islands were distributed among the various high-grade spirit islands. Although the cultivation environment there is slightly inferior, it's still much better than before.”

Currently, there were almost no people in areas below mid-grade spirit islands throughout the Myriad Manifestations Sea. All cultivators in the Myriad Manifestations Sea were gathered in the top-tier and high-grade spirit islands, dedicating themselves to intense cultivation to prepare for the coming catastrophe.

“Additionally, based on Old Tree’s suggestion, a Merit Hall has been established here in the Myriad Manifestations Sea. Any contributions made by individuals or factions to the general populace, including the supply of various resources, will be converted into merit points and recorded within. The Merit Hall’s predecessor was the Myriad Manifestations Commerce Guild, and it is now managed by Senior Sister Jiu Yan.” Luan Xiao'e added, “This isn’t only true for the Myriad Manifestations Sea; the other battlefields are also doing the same. The merit points from the Merit Hall will be universally accepted across the entire starry sky. Once the major event descends, if anyone slays enemies or completes any tasks, they can also earn merit points, which can then be used to exchange for needed resources or other assistance.”

Lu Ye nodded.

Old Tree was clearly preparing for a rainy day. The upcoming war would undoubtedly last for an unknown number of years, leading to an enormous consumption of resources. Establishing a universally accepted Merit Hall across the starry sky now would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for the future.
