[So what if we found it?] This voice was rather pessimistic: [Even if we migrated en masse to the New Continent, wouldn’t we have to start from scratch? Our generation would still live at sea, and our children might not be able to land smoothly... it would take our grandchildren, our grandchildren’s children to succeed...]
[That’s still better than now,] a gruff voice sneered: [At least our grandchildren won’t be turned to ashes by the earthfire—do those people in the Fiery Fla Land think they’re getting a good deal? They’ll know what retribution ans when the ti cos!]
[Not just that, all those mainlanders will get their retribution!]
This statent received unanimous agreent from all the officers—they shared a consensus in their hatred towards the mainlanders.
[But speaking of which, what exactly happened over in the City of Knowledge? It seems like even the Fifth Energy Level got involved... and then all the nations suddenly suppressed their wars, it’s all so strange...]
[Oh, that’s because of so breakthrough research, I’ve heard it’s called... the Arcane Pathway?]
These officers, familiar with the inside story of the mass migration, knew that the authority they seized this ti was ant to restore the New Continent’s ecology. But they also understood that if nothing unexpected happened, the ecological transformation of the New Continent would not yield results in just a few years.
But Ian discerned a deeper implication from their conversation: the Fifth Energy Level powerhouse of Far Shore Island, Azure Star Gride, might soon be unable to suppress the restless geological changes on the island. Therefore, the people of the Far Shore Island would hastily proceed with these plans to migrate to the New Continent without adequately preparing the whole population.
Alternatively, there’s another possibility: the Azure Star may still be capable of suppressing the geological changes, but since there is a New Continent, she does not intend to continue the suppression. Whoever wants to take the ss of Far Shore Island can take it; she intends to wash her hands of it and leave.
This is no trivial matter... if Far Shore Island explodes, all the countries west of the Azure Sky Royal Court will suffer. The Fiery Fla Land, the Seven Cities Alliance, and the Fortress States around Fort Fuerst would face tsunamis and earthquakes, the Empire would also suffer, and the Magical Beasts uprising in the Dark Mountain Range could definitely give Steep Ridge Fortress, the Empire, and Yanjiang a hard ti.
Next, the officers discussed so continental news, including more about the Arcane Pathway. Those more familiar with it gave it high praise.
[In pioneering the New Continent in the future, machinery is one thing, but there definitely won’t be enough manpower,]
[This Arcane Pathway can cultivate everyone to a physique comparable to a First-Level Sublimator, and that’s enough. With the strength and physique of a Sublimator, one person could do the work of ten... Perhaps it won’t be long before we can establish a brand new continental nation of our own in the New Continent!]
[Yes, the widespread Arcane Pathway is most useful in our resource-scarce country. Although it requires computational power, at least it’s not like magical dicine ingredients where there’s none if you don’t have any...]
[Beginning cultivation from a young age, by the ti one is seventeen or eighteen, they would almost have a physique comparable to the First Energy Level, maybe slightly less, but still more than enough to build a new holand.]
[No wonder the mainland nations have all paused their wars over this, now I’m eager to return to port and truly experience the wonder of this Arcane Pathway!]
This made Ian nod slightly, feeling a secret satisfaction.
In the Terra Continent, a place that revered strength, no one could refuse the power brought by the Arcane Pathway. Even the Far Shore Island, which was unwilling to engage in mainland entanglents, valued his pathway greatly.
But then, the officers’ reflections left him a little taken aback.
[This Mahdi, wouldn’t it be great if he were one of us, or even our leader?]
[Indeed, he’s now almost like a suspect pursued by all the Terra Nations, forced to hide in the Holy Mountain... If you ask , we should find a way to bring this genius over to us. Isn’t Azure Star always troubled about not finding an heir? Mahdi was once the First Knight’s disciple; his talent is definitely sufficient.]
[Do you think, with all these nations researching the Arcane Pathway, if we dispatched emissaries to the Holy Mountain, could we invite this person over?]
[Seems unlikely, our strength doesn’t match that of the Holy Mountain, and we probably wouldn’t be able to protect him.]
"Huh?"
This was the first ti Ian encountered such favors from the middle and lower echelons of a major power—they not only valued him but also contemplated making him their leader?
Although Ian felt this was only natural, as he undoubtedly had the capability to beco the leader of a nation... still, it sounded like the Fifth Energy Level of Far Shore Island wasn’t a matter of bloodline inheritance?
[Azure Star]... this star...
Having seen too much of this, Ian couldn’t help but frown: "Could it be that within my ’Guiding Star,’ there’s also a fragnt of this lady’s power?"
"Even though I’m aware I did many things in my past lives, has this all beco too involved? What if I really did go to Far Shore Island in one of my lives and ended up becoming the boss there?"
"Sorry for just knocking you down a notch, my forr subordinates."
Pushing down his doubts, Ian continued to listen to the fleet’s conversations.
However, what followed in their discussion wasn’t of much relevance.
What piqued Ian’s ears the most were the rumors about Whale Song Cliff—Far Shore Island extending an invitation to Whale Song Cliff to join them in pioneering the New Continent. This wasn’t out of good intentions to share land with Whale Song Cliff, but rather because Whale Song Cliff had two Fifth-Level powerhouses, both of whom were water-attributed Island-Cloaking Dragon Whales, which would be of great assistance to the mass migration.
