Chapter 793 – Agreement!
After receiving Zhao Hai's notice, Wales immediately gathered the heads of the cow-headed race and discussed the migration with them.
Wales' prestige in the Cow-headed race was quite high. When the Herculean Bulls were in a slump, he led them to regain their place. Although Zhao Hai's help was critical to the success, it still doesn't take away from the fact that Wales was a talented leader.
At the same time, Zhao Hai held a high status in the Cow-headed race. After all, he was their Foreign Prince as well as the Beastman Race's Foreign Prince. Because of this, after Zhao Hai suggested that they move, none of the Cow-headed race's patriarchs disagreed.
However, the Cow-headed race was no small group in the Prairie. It would take a long time for them to be moved. Because of this, their migration was much slower compared to the Humans and the Fishmen.
But this matter also highlighted the advantages of the Beastmen. Since they have tents, it didn't take too long for their property to be transferred to the Space. This nomadic way of life proved to be more convenient compared to the Humans when it came to migration.
When Zhao Hai heard that Wales was done preparing, he immediately opened a spatial rift near the Herculean Bulls' camp. Then he started to guide the Cow-headed Beastmen to enter the Space.
The place where Wales entered was just right behind the Lyon Empire. In this place, there was a huge piece of grassland, much bigger than the original Beastman Prairie. There wouldn't be any problems if the entire Beastman Race relocated here.
Moreover, the grass in the Space was much more abundant compared to the outside. At the same time, they regrow quicker. This would make the lives of the herding Beastmen much better.
Zhao Hai doesn't intend to separate the Humans and the other races. After all, they used to live together. Moreover, Zhao Hai noticed that the races in the Ark Continent actually complemented each other, able to live alongside each other in harmony. If it wasn't for the Radiant Church, then there won't be any discord between the various races.
After the Cow-headed Beastmen entered the Space, they immediately took a liking to it. For them, the place was just like heaven. Blue sky, green grass, jade textured water; everything here made up for the most ideal place for herding.
The Cow-headed Beastmen couldn't help but smile widely at the place. Some elderly Cow Beastmen even went to the ground and chewed on the grass. After tasting them, their eyes shone as they loudly said, "This is high grade grass! The Prince hasn't deceived us, this is the ideal place for us Beastmen!"
The cheer of the people resounded all over the place.
In the entire Cow-headed race, the last to enter was Wales' Herculean Bull Tribe. However, Zhao Hai had already arranged a good spot for them to transfer their golden tent to as soon as they came in.
Wales was more than satisfied with the grassland around him. After looking out, he thought that this was a nice place to settle in.
Just like the Lyon Empire and the Buddha Empire, Wales' move to the Space influenced the entire Beastman Race. After seeing the Cow-headed race willingly entering Zhao Hai's Space, they started to be convinced to move as well.
After Wales and the others entered the Space, Zhao Hai wasn't too anxious of bringing them back out. In fact, Zhao Hai wanted Wales to stay inside for a while so that Wales can help sway the minds of the other Beastmen.
After settling down for some time, Wales and some of the Cow Beastmen went out of the Space. The place where they appeared out of was Beast God City.
Wales now understood how Zhao Hai was able to appear on the Prairie on a whim. It turned out that it was because of the Space. Wales came out of the Space and immediately went to the Beast King's Palace in order to inform the Beast King about their condition inside Zhao Hai's Space.
The Beast King also wanted to move the Beastman Race to the Space. He knew that it was much safer inside the Space compared to outside. Migrating there would a good for the entire Beastman Race.
However, it was clear that the Beast King's words alone wouldn't make this happen. Therefore, he can only discuss this matter with the Patriarchs of the big warring clans. He wanted them to move as soon as possible.
Even so, the Patriarchs still didn't agree. This annoyed the Beast King. With the White Tigers, the Polar Bears, and the Blue Hawks being held back, this meant that their enemy was a strong one. Additionally, there was the encroaching poisonous dark mist. Counter-attacking and reclaiming lost lands was virtually impossible. In this case, wouldn't moving to the Space a much better choice?
However, the Beastmen had the same mentality as the Humans when it came to this matter. They needed someone to take the lead. Once one of them went and migrated, then it would be easier for the others to follow suit.
The Beast King actually wanted his Tiger Tribe to take the lead. After all, he was the Tiger Race's patriarch, it would be appropriate for them to make the first step. However, this move might not be enough to convince the other races.
If the Tiger Tribe were the only ones to do this, then the effect might only be light. Just as the Beast King was annoyed at this matter, Wales came and told him that the Cow headed Race had already settled down inside the Space. This was definitely a good news for the Beast King.
After hearing Wales' report, the Beast King immediately decided to call the Patriarchs of the big warring tribes. He wanted them to hear Wales' report firsthand.
Although the Cow-headed race wasn't considered as a warring tribe, they were still quite influential in the Prairie. Their special relationship with Zhao Hai provided them with a higher status among other Beastmen. All of the Beastmen know about the matters between Zhao Hai and the Herculean Bulls.
Also, Zhao Hai's status had risen even more when he sold the Beastmen his grain, when he found the Beast God's Spear, and when he established a milk wine business with the entire Prairie. All of these feats elevated Zhao Hai's image inside the hearts of the Beastmen.
And now that the Demons and the Divine Race had come, Zhao Hai's status became even higher. This was because Zhao Hai was in the forefront of the battle between the two invaders. The Beastmen admires brave people the most, because of this, their respect for Zhao Hai was quite high.
After the Patriarchs heard Wales' report about the Space, all of them became excited. However, they had a request, they wanted to personally visit the Space.
When the Beast King heard this, he immediately took his messenger fish and told Zhao Hai about what happened.
Zhao Hai didn't even need to think about it. Inside the conference room, a spatial rift suddenly appeared. After that, the Patriarchs were then led to witness the Space for themselves.
These Beastmen have always been weary about Zhao Hai's skills. But for the sake of the Beastman Race, they still entered the Space.
The place where Zhao Hai sent them to was the place where the Cow-headed Beastmen were located. After looking at the grassland, the Beastmen Patriarchs immediately believed Wales' words. The grass was indeed very good.
Beastmen had been herding for all their lives. For them, good pastures can be discerned in just one glance. This grassland was indeed very good and there were even plenty of water sources. It would be very strange if the Beastmen didn't move after seeing this.
The Beastmen Patriarchs stayed in the Space for quite some time before they left. Once they got out, the Patriarch immediately returned to their territories and prepared their people to move out.
Their decision made Zhao Hai smile. And even more worth celebrating was the fact that the Rosen Empire had decided to move in as well. In order to convince the Emperor, Zhao Hai even promised him that there would be no change in authority once they move to the Space. Zhao Hai also showed the Space's Rosen Empire to the Emperor. Because of this, the Emperor finally agreed.
The last time the Rosen Emperor visited the Space, the new Ark Continent was yet to be made. Now that a complete copy of the Rosen Empire was created, and people were going to live here, the Rosen Emperor naturally agreed.
Actually, the Rosen Emperor was still quite reserved about the decision. After all, he was Zhao Hai's father-in-law. Once he entered the Space, then his position as an elder would be affected. But in the end, after Lizzy's persuasion, the Rosen Emperor finally agreed.
As the matter stands, only the Elves, the Dwarves, and the Aksu Empire were yet to make a decision. At this moment, it had been half a month after the last attack made by the Divine Race.
Half a month wasn't a long time, and this showed why Zhao Hai's Space was a wonderful thing. In just half a month, Zhao Hai was able to move most of the people from the Buddha and the Lyon Empire into the Space. At the same time, large numbers of Beastmen and Fishmen had also moved in.
But although Zhao Hai was taking care of the migration, he still kept an eye out for the actions made by the Demons and the Divine Race. At this time, the Demons and the Divine Race were focused on amassing troops. Their losses in their past operation wasn't small, so they needed some reinforcements to replace the losses. It was clear that they were yet to discover the arrival of the Underworld. Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited for the troops and instead went forward and just attacked.
Less than two days after the Beastmen and the Rosen Empire started to move to the Space, the Aksu Empire, Elves, and Dwarves also agreed to migrate. The Aksu Empire had no special requests. On the other hand, the Dwarves and Elves had something to ask before migrating. The Elves wanted Zhao Hai to move their entire city into the Space. The Dwarves requested Zhao Hai to get the ores that they had mined all these years and then take them to the Space.
Chapter 794 – Blown Away
The Demon Dragon King looked at the report on his table. This was his fifth time reading the report, he has yet to comprehend what it meant.
This report was none other than the Ark Continent's mass migration. The report stated that the Buddha and the Lyon Empire just moved while the Aksu and Rosen Empires were packing their things. At the same time, the Beastmen were also moving. The Dwarves and the Elves' situation were unclear.
The report also stated that once the migration becomes successful, then there would be no people left in the Ark Continent.
The Demon Dragon King doubted the authenticity of this information. Where would the people of the Ark Continent move? The continent was a huge place, where would they fit?
The Demon Dragon King knew that the Ark Continent had a lot of people. The Humans alone accounted for more than a billion people. With the other races included, then it would reach a couple billion people. What place would allow this many people to live in? Moreover, the food and living conditions of these people needed to be considered. And now that the Ark Continent showed their ability to resist, why would they decide to move?
However, the Demon Dragon King knew that it would be impossible for their spies to deceive him. This made him even more confused.
Although it was the truth, it was still too hard to believe. Therefore, he was stuck on what decision to make upon receiving the report.
He didn't know what Zhao Hai was scheming. After their multiple confrontations, the Demon Dragon King had learned to fear Zhao Hai's plans. If the Demon Dragon King loses more people, then he wouldn't be able to shoulder the responsibility.
At the same time, the Divine Race also received this information. The Divine Race had their own spies in the Ark Continent. After all, the Radiant Church had managed it for many years, their foundation was quite solid. With how many people they had, weeding them out was quite hard.
It was only because the Ark Continent were strict in the past that these people hid themselves while some were being ambushed. However, since the Ark Continent had gotten more chaotic than before, it was inevitable that the attention on the spies had lessened. Therefore, the Divine Race were able to receive reports from the Ark Continent.
Like the Demon Dragon King, the Divine Race were also baffled by the report. They couldn't comprehend what it meant. They even thought that the information was a trap.
The reason these people were yet to make a move was because they had yet to find a way to deal with Zhao Hai's harassment tactics. Zhao Hai's move was just too scary.
They did exactly what Zhao Hai wanted, giving him time. At this time, the Buddha and Lyon Empire had been moved to the Space. The Aksu and Rosen Empire had also begun their move along with the Elves and the Dwarves.
One could say that the most difficult to move were the Elves and the Dwarves. The Dwarves needed to have mines where they live. Therefore, Zhao Hai prepared a place with an iron and coal mine for them.
Since the Space leveled up, Zhao Hai can now make optional arrangements for the minerals of the Space. Because Zhao Hai had pure iron, he decided to place it in the new Ark Continent's Dwarf mountain, allowing it to turn the rocks around it into iron.
On the other hand, the Elves were more difficult. They were used to living in a forest, the type that was never been touched. This was a difficult condition, needing specific planning for the Space. Having a new forest in a short time was just impossible. Zhao Hai can only leave a place for the Elves to plant trees in.
In the end, Zhao Hai decided to choose a forested background and modify it to look like the Elven Forest. The only thing he couldn't achieve was the Elven Tree City itself.
Zhao Hai didn't know what kind of tree it was. The Elves had grown it for a long time, it was impossible to duplicate that city in the Space.
It was fortunate that the Elves asked Zhao Hai to relocate the tree itself into the Space. After thinking about it, Zhao Hai agreed.
To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't want to leave the Elven Tree City behind as well. To Zhao Hai, that city was a miracle of nature. When Zhao Hai agreed to take the Elven Tree City along, the Elves decided to dig the city out. Otherwise, there would be now way for Zhao Hai to take it to the Space.
But as the Elves were starting to dig, Zhao Hai told them that there was no need. Zhao Hai guaranteed them that the tree wouldn't be affected by the move.
The Space hadn't disappointed Zhao Hai, it easily absorbed the Elven Tree City. The Elves had now officially settled inside the Space.
The condition made by the Dwarves were very unique. They wanted Zhao Hai to take the weapons and armor, as well as the ingots that they had accumulated over the years. Naturally, Zhao Hai was happy to agree.
Although the Space already had a large amount of iron, Zhao Hai was still happy to add some more.
But when Zhao Hai saw the Dwarves' stock, he couldn't help but be shocked. The Dwarves had almost hollowed the mountain range after all these years. And all of the iron ore that they weren't able to process were stockpiled and then turned to ingots for later use. Also, one needed to know that the amount of ore mined in a day was much bigger than the amount that could be processed in the same timeframe.
The iron ore was just too much, Zhao Hai simply couldn’t estimate it. The iron ingots and products were already piled in huge mountain-like piles, not to mention the iron ore. The Dwarves' stockpile was just too large.
After taking all these things, Billy also proposed something. He wanted to leave a few people behind and completely dig the entire mountain of ores.
When Zhao Hai heard Billy, he thought about it for a moment before he agreed. Leaving those iron ores in the Ark Continent would be a waste. Also, it might even benefit the Demons and the Divine Race. So Zhao Hai would rather use them for himself.
In the past, the Dwarves were considering their safety when they were mining the mountain. There were places that they haven’t dug out because it might cause the mountain to collapse. Since they didn't need to worry about that now, then they would clear the mountain even if it cause it to crumple.
This idea also opened a new thought for Zhao Hai. Although the valuable things inside the Ark Continent were already taken to the Space, there were still things in the continent that were of value, things like wood, bamboo, some machines, metal and the like. Naturally Zhao Hai didn't want to just leave them be. Since the Demons and the Divine Race didn't attack and the people had already moved, Zhao Hai released massive amounts of undead to collect things. The ransack was even more ruthless than the shakedowns made by corrupt officials. As long as something can be used, they weren't let go.
The ones who gave Zhao Hai the least worry were the Beastmen. All of their items were very easy to move. They just placed their belongings on carts before they moved, it was a completely easy process.
On the other hand, the ones Zhao Hai worried the most were the Fishmen. The people of the sea were just too numerous. As the Fishmen entered the Space, Zhao Hai discovered that they were too slow. To solve this, Zhao Hai told the Elf Queen to concentrate the Fishmen and he would just take them to the Space. This process would be quicker than having them go through the spatial rift.
The Queen agreed to Zhao Hai's proposal. Groups of Fishmen made cube formations and stayed where they were. Then Zhao Hai continuously absorbed them towards the Space.
This takes more time and effort, but Zhao Hai had no other choice. But what moved Zhao Hai was the fact that there were also a lot of useful things in the sea, such as iron ores, other metals, and sea products. It would be a waste to leave them be.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that it wouldn't be so easy to extract those things out. And compared to the seas, the mainland still had a lot of resources he could use. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to just take the easy route and leave the seas for now.
The Demons and the Divine Race didn't think that Zhao Hai would have a thing such as the Space. The people who moved discovered that things weren't different after they moved. They were just met by their empty house, the same style that they were used to. Under the efforts of the officials, their residence didn't change. For the people, it was just like moving all of their things outside their house before placing it right back in. Moreover, their new homes seemed more comfortable compared to before.
In the past, the homes of these commoners were worn out since they didn't have the money for repair. Although Zhao Hai made a complete copy of the Ark Continent, it was troublesome for him to also imitate the worn out look of the houses. Because of this, the commoners were given with newer versions of their old house. Naturally, the commoners were happy with this result.
After going through great effort, the relocation of the Ark Continent was short of completion. Except the Fishmen who lived far, all of the people were already settled inside the Space.
