Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2226

Lin Yuan, who had been ready to lead Liu Jie to bid goodbye to Su Yiren and Luo Lan, suddenly thought of something and said to Luo Lan and Su Yiren in a low voice, "Ta Lei has been in Thick Soil City. With help from the 1 billion tribe members, the construction of Thick Soil City has been completed. The Land Imps are just tying up some of the loose ends.

"Thick Soil City can easily fit more than 500,000,000 residents, each of whom can have their own house. These 500 million people will just be the start. The population of Thick Soil City can go up to 1.5 billion."

While he spoke, Lin Yuan internally gasped in amazement.

If a city like Thick Soil City existed in his previous life, it would be able to contain almost 1/4r of the global population.

But this capacity size would only be able to contain 1/10 of the population in the Startling Lines Continent at best.

Furthermore, the Startling Lines Continent was just an average-sized continent in the main world.

When comparing the two settings, this world was much too enormous.

But in this much-too-enormous world, another even larger space was waiting for him to explore.

This thought set off Lin Yuan's zealousness. He felt a similar passion, hope, and excitement when he first went to the Royal Capital and yearned to go off to explore the other federations.

"I intend on positioning Thick Soil City as the core of the Startling Lines Continent and the hub where the three federations will gather and cross paths. Among the 500,000,000 spots for residents, I am leaving 200,000,000 spots for the Iron Hammer Federation, while the Divine Wood Federation and Great Lush Federation will receive 150,000,000 spots each.

"Once you've got the Iron Hammer Federation fully under control, you can decide who are the citizens who will get to fill up the 200,000,000 spots. You are more familiar with Ta Lei than Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun. You can let Ta Lei know if there are any issues."

Luo Lan was stunned when she heard what Lin Yuan said, but she quickly realized the intention behind his arrangement.

Lin Yuan wanted to break down the walls separating the three federations of the Startling Lines Continent and breed unity between them. Could it be that he wanted to create the fourth major federation in this world?

With Weng Queji, Yi Huailu, and Di Wanmi's help, the Startling Lines Continent indeed had enough Class 5 Creation Masters to make them worthy of such a future.

But if this was truly Lin Yuan's plan, it meant that Thick Soil City was going to become the Royal Capital of that enormous federation and that she would no longer share equal status with Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun. Instead, the three of them would become rivals.

But Lin Yuan clearly favored her in this competition. Otherwise, he would not have allocated 200,000,000 spots for her.

This was because she was a member of the Astronomical Parliament, thus making her closer to Lin Yuan than Yi Huailong and Jin Qianxun were.

She might not feel this way if Lin Yuan had not told her this information in advance, but since he had, she was going to seize this opportunity properly no matter what.

Luo Lan immediately started drawing out plans in her mind.

She knew that she was going to be swamped for the next year.

When Lin Yuan saw Luo Lan's expression, he knew she understood his intention. Thus, he smiled silently and returned to the underground palace with Liu Jie in tow.

If Lin Yuan wanted to head to the marsh world, he needed to have a foothold in the main world.

Rather than the Return from Faraway Mansion in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital, the underground palace was a much more suitable choice.

This was because, in the underground palace, he would immediately become aware once anything happened in the Startling Lines Continent.

Secondly, the Space Tunnel conveniently linked the underground palace to the Radiance Federation.

But more importantly, Lin Yuan intended to spend the next few months observing Silver Corona.

As a carcinoma fey that transformed into a fairy, Silver Corona was no different from Liu Jie's Ice Bite and Fat Dimension.

Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had just spent some time and effort opening more dimensional rifts that would help speed up the growth of Silver Corona's power.

Lin Yuan decided to let Silver Corona be anchored in the Startling Lines Continent. Silver Corona's sea of flowers could cover the entire Startling Lines Continent's territory if possible.

The Sea Burial Lotus Flower had been a carcinoma fey without any rational or logical thinking.

But now that Silver Corona had gained intelligence, it could eat only the alien beasts that emerged from the dimensional rifts and use the sea of flowers to protect all the lifeforms on the Startling Lines Continent.

The sea of flowers would be like a decoration that had suddenly grown out and did not come with any combat abilities.

The Startling Lines Continent was like a piece of driftwood in the sea.

If Silver Corona's sea of flowers could truly cover the entire Startling Lines Continent, the sea of flowers would extend to the four corners of the federation and become like kelp that adjusted the direction in which the Startling Lines Continent floated.

Silver Corona's original body was an aquatic plant-type carcinoma fey. It was more suited to living in the sea than on land.

This was just an idea that Lin Yuan had. Silver Corona's power needed sufficient time to reach a certain level before such a situation could even become possible.

Luo Lan and Su Yiren were very sad to see Lin Yuan leave. He had left in such a rush that he did not even stay for the banquet.

But both of them quickly set aside their sadness and threw themselves into their work.

Both women were workaholics by nature.

They intended to overhaul the structure of the Iron Hammer Federation, and Su Yiren also wanted to help Luo Lan steal some of the limelight and influence from Thick Soil City.

Su Yiren was very busy.

Luo Lan made a silent pledge that after things settled on this end, she would help this good friend of hers snatch the Dark Continent back from Tower Canon and bring glory back to the Seven States of Darkness!

Luo Lan knew that she would need to be able to tap into all of the resources on the Startling Lines Continent if she wanted to be of help to Su Yiren.

To do this, she could not just wait around for Lin Yuan to reach out helping hands. She needed to fight with her own will.

Although Lin Yuan was biased toward her, he was also a fair and just person.

If she fell behind Jin Qianxun and Yi Huailong, he would swap her out with someone more capable.

…

A full month had passed since Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had left the underground palace.

Lin Yuan first went to Clean Brahma City before rushing to the Freezing Hammer Tribe. He had spent almost ten days traveling.

Once he was back at the underground palace, he noticed that the hardworking Hu Quan had led the team of Spirit Craftsmen in finishing off the final touches of the underground palace.

Currently, Hu Quan was delegating the Spirit Craftsmen to set up the garden under the light of the Sunlight King Lotuses.
