Guifang's capital, Toran City, had an extremely small population. Despite being the capital, it was not as populous as a larger county in China.
There were some Mongolian yurts scattered in the suburbs, but the city was much more prosperous. There were quite a few high-rise buildings, giving off a modern vibe. A river flowed through the city.
In the tallest building, in a conference room, a few people were discussing something.
"Look, I've said it before, the Venerable One will definitely not sit idly by. As long as he sees it, he'll definitely help us reclaim the mine." A middle-aged man said proudly.
"The landlord is wise. Fortunately, we didn't have a direct conflict with those demons. Otherwise, if they learn guerrilla warfare, our businesses outside will be finished. "Someone complimented.
"This is all thanks to the Venerable One's good fortune. Without him, how could we live peacefully? Now, transfer a sum of money to Butler Zheng. Say it's to thank the Venerable One's old man for helping us reclaim the mine. "Landlord Liu said tactfully.
"You're right, I'll do it right away." A man in a suit turned on his computer and began transferring the money.
Everyone celebrated, then someone said worriedly, "Landlord, the Venerable One rebuked those demons this time because he saw them digging our reserve mine from the sky. However, as far as I know, many demons can move underground. China's Greater Rat Demons are one example. If they secretly dig our mine … "
"Sigh, do you think I don't know what you're talking about? However, the Venerable One is the manifestation of the Upper Realm's True Dragon. He's extremely honorable. Unless it's necessary, he naturally won't go to dark places like the bottom of the sea. He only travels in the sky. We mustn't push our luck. The demons stealing our mine and plundering our resources must be solved. "Landlord Liu touched his chin.
"Yes, our Cloud Fog City is vast but sparsely populated, with only a few hundred thousand people. We have to govern over four million square kilometers of Siro Wilderness, one million square kilometers of Guifang Grassland, and a large desert area newly rented by Australia … Many human forces have been subdued by the Venerable One, so they don't dare to spy on us on a large scale. However, the demons that are scattered among them are now obviously active. Incidents of plundering and digging are emerging one after another. If this goes on, our losses will be too great," someone said worriedly.
Compared to other human forces, the Cloud Fog City relied on its culture, birth, and bloodline. Coupled with the Venerable Dragon God's golden thighs, their deterrence was greatly increased. With hundreds of thousands of people, they were able to control a large piece of land north and west of China, becoming the new buffer zone between China and Russia.
However, the newborn Demon Race would not admit this.
Originally, due to the arid climate and lack of water sources, there had never been much development in this area. The population was sparse, and the industry was underdeveloped. The consumption of water by industry far exceeded that of agriculture and human activities.
With the advent of the Era of Vitality, the vitality of living things had greatly increased. Whether it was just animals or plants, many cold-resistant and drought-resistant plants had also been strengthened, and their ability to absorb and retain water had greatly increased.
Moreover, many Vitality Formations had the ability to change the climate on a large scale. Drought was no longer a bottleneck for the development of the area.
This vast area was rich in resources and had great potential. It was second to none on Earth.
As the moon crisis approached, the sea level rose day by day. Many cities near the sea fell into panic, and property prices plummeted. Many people's lifetime wealth evaporated. Fortunately, there was strong regulation, and order and life were still maintained.
Many sharp real estate developers had already set their sights on this area. Many people were applying to the Cloud Fog City to buy land.
This place was high above sea level, and it was located in the center of the Eurasian continent. If Daddy Axiom wanted to flood this place, then everyone would have to live in the Tibetan Plateau …
Everyone present understood this logic. As the saying goes, under the watchful eyes of the public, sitting on a treasured land would make one restless.
How could they solve their worries? Only external help.
"If that's the case, why don't we invite Duke Yun to open a 'Demon Suppression Conference' and invite the Venerable One as an honored guest to once again show off his deterrent power?" Someone suggested.
"That's not a bad idea. We should open a Demon Suppression Conference. God, why did you let these beasts develop intelligence? Once they do, our resources in the wild will be no longer safe. Who would have the time to send people to guard them every day? That's close to ten million square kilometers of land! "Landlord Liu complained.
Complaints aside, the Divine Gate opened, the Divine List appeared, and the Stairway to Heaven appeared. It forced the spirits on Earth to have racial awareness. It was not possible to be disunited, at least not when it came to climbing the Stairway to Heaven.
From this point, it was really the Heavenly Axiom introducing competitors to mankind.
…
Qi City, Vigilante A's farm villa.
Fang Ning was immersed in his dream cultivation. He deeply understood the principle that only when he was strong enough would he have the right to say things like "God did not give birth to Vigilante A, balabalaba".
Suddenly, Sir System called his … Dream Double.
"Brother, the Cloud Fog City transferred a sum of money, and they have a request. Three days later, they want to open a 'Demon Suppression Conference' in the Cloud Fog City. Should we go?"
"Of course we should go. The Cloud Fog City is the first big organization that wholeheartedly defected to us. It was approved by Brother Tong's System." Fang Ning said deliberately.
"Uh, forget it. Brother Tong it is. Anyway, that lazy … Mr. Rich Boss already knows about it." Sir System said helplessly. "Then what else do we need to prepare?"
"Prepare what? Yes, we need to prepare. Since it's a Demon Suppression Conference, we need to make it grand. I'll count the people in my pocket and see how many can be brought to support the event. "Fang Ning said after some thought.
"There's quite a lot. The great green insect, the Sky Eagle, the black and yellow dogs. We need to get the black dog to Lake-level. That way, we'll have four Lake-level powerhouses. Together with me, we can form the Bodhi Formation. Under the Earth's Heavenly Axiom, we can suppress Inland-sea level powerhouses."
"Wait, I remember that the yellow dog was able to reach Lake-level because it made a wish to the Magic Lamp. Now that a few months have passed, the Truth Department should have more or less gathered the materials for the lamp oil, right? Then we can ask Mister Long San for the ambergris. "
Fang Ning was very concerned about the strength of his underlings because it could help him slack off …
These underlings that were approved by the System were his external help.
After the discussion, Vigilante A immediately flew into the sky.
…
Looking for beeswax in the Land of Heritage, asking Long San in the Truth Department.
Summoning the Magic Lamp in the System Space, meeting the black dog in the grassland.
…
In the grassland, on a patch of withered grass, Brett the black dog was lying on the ground, staring at the bronze oil lamp.
Vigilante A was pouring a milky white liquid into it.
Opposite the black dog was Xue Ba the yellow dog.
It looked at the black dog enviously. It did not expect this fellow to get a second chance to make a wish so soon. Master really loved stupid dogs.
"Hey, Brett, after this, you'll be a Lake-level strong dog. Next time, you'll have to pay attention to the demeanor of a powerhouse. Don't embarrass your master. Don't fight for food, and don't drool when you see a beautiful dog." Xue Ba lectured.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, this time I won't waste my chance like last time." The black dog said confidently.
