Chapter 1296 1290: Didn’t See It

"Our dog days are over!"

"This is our new home, right, Mommy?"

"I've always dreamed of owning a farm, building my own house, and raising some Golden-Tailed Chickens. And now, after living for nearly eight hundred years without ever getting remotely close, I've achieved it!"

In the subsequent days after the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo's shocking closing remarks, cultivators simply had to say they wished to stay, and a mark would be placed upon their foreheads. This mark would only be removed after a member of Ascendant Emperor Wei's patrol arrived, taking note of their information, granting them deeds to certain land, and placing them into safe zones.

While the Neo-Dawn Starfield had ample land, Ascendant Emperor Wei was building a non-competitive utopia; as such, specific areas were demarcated as being peacefully regulated, overseen by Ascended beings, while other territories, such as World Realms that no one had entered previously or newly created planets, lunar satellites, or realms established were not conflict-free.

Therefore, cultivators could claim or fight territory through martial might as well as build their own lands freely. While there was some taxation, no strict laws were established besides general tributes based on a small percentage of the land's earnings, paid out by the sitting lord at the time.

There were certain procedures in place regarding establishing a new planet, lunar satellite, and realm. These procedures weren't too complicated, especially since Defiant Dawn potentially spanned the entire Ileptasage Pillar Stellar Region, while the current Neo-Dawn Starfield's Defiant Dawn was severely limited.

They would generally have particular regulations concerning the location to prevent conflicting orbits. Moreover, no oaths were established to maintain these rules, so the laws were extremely flexible. Some cultivators shamelessly sought to bring their planets over, but doing so would significantly impact any array established, and those who reigned over those starfields weren't willing!

Fortunately, Wei Wuyin didn't permit foreign planets to enter the Neo-Dawn Starfield, only allowing the creation of new ones. If they needed help in constructing one, they could apply for assistance, and an Ascended being would promptly assist. Of course, they must have the strength to maintain that planet themselves, including having Void Gates established on it to ensure its connectivity to the rest of the starfield.

"This is unprecedented," Tian Muyang observed from the edge of the Neo-Dawn Starfield. It wasn't just the Imperial Clan, countless ships of peak forces were there, completely lost on how to react. Wei Wuyin was blatantly stealing their citizens!

At first, it was only a few passionate thousands, and at mind-boggling speeds, those few thousand increased to millions! Then millions became a few billion, and a few billion began to spiral out of control to a few trillion!

ραпdα---n?νa| сom It was ever-increasing!

"Will anyone choose to come with us?" Tian Shangyang asked, genuinely worried. It was certain that those with abundant connections would stay, including those with this advantageous mindset of seeking greater gains due to a lack of a populace, but this was different from a typical migration.

A delicate system for cultivators had been established over tens of thousands of years, and this system would collapse without those at the bottom assisting. Of course, some were ignorant of this understanding.

"Who needs them? Filthy traitors," A prince spat.

A few agreed with him. The ones leaving were all talentless, low-born cultivators. Why was there a need to have them around? If they wanted to go, then go! Humans were the best at birthing babies, so their numbers would be filled soon enough. It wasn't as if the ones here were all the people in the world!

"..." Tian Muyang was speechless. No wonder this prince wasn't one of the seven Official Princes. His mindset was short-sighted, narrow, and ignorant. He didn't have the energy to educate this little brat.

He swept his gaze across the Voidships. They were all waiting for cultivators who had decided to leave with them, including those that might change their minds. As for trying to forcefully take them away? There was someone who tried, but their headless corpse floated quietly in the Dark Void as a reminder to everyone else, glowing faintly so that Ascended beings could easily see it.

The idiot had tried to take his concubines and wives back home, likely having forced them into submission, and when they were given the opportunity, they shouted at the top of their lungs to stay. He must've believed this meant to leave him, so he tried to take them away in a panic, only to be captured and publicly executed despite his pleading wails.

Wei Wuyin was incredibly vicious.

There was no need for further warning, and they all became extremely obedient. If anyone abused or suffered from their living situation, they merely had to report it to the arriving Ascendant taking their information, and they would promptly be relocated to a conflict-free zone.

There was someone who tried to silence their victims, unwilling to let them free, only to have a Demi-Mortal Lord, Highlord Bluecloud, arrive and reverse their deaths on the spot and then cripple the perpetrator. Then, news spread as the cultivator's execution was scheduled.

Why?

It wasn't because he tried to silence his victims or prevent them from leaving by killing them, simply because he tried to kill in a conflict-free zone. There were no specific examples of punishment, just general, simple rules that must be followed under any circumstance.One of those rules was: No killing.

It was simple, yet thousands of executions happened in the first hour, including tens of thousands of Temporal Reversions. Some individuals were simply idiots, thinking Wei Wuyin wouldn't punish them or spend resources to revive useless people.

Unfortunately, to Wei Wuyin, every living being was critical to the growth of his starfield. And he was shamelessly taking them from everywhere else! Why would he allow them to be harmed?!

Tian Muyang laughed suddenly, shocking the others. "Haha! This was his plan from the very beginning!" He realized as soon as he got enough time to think about it.

"What?" Sky Monarch Bai frowned in disbelief.

Tian Muyang shook his head, "A starfield with no people? How do you solve that? You bring the people and convince them to stay. Everything from the very beginning was meant to showcase the astonishing growth of the starfield, showing that there was nothing inferior about it relative to anywhere else. I can't believe I didn't see it!"

Tian Muyang couldn't hold his laughter any longer.

"No! No! NO ONE SAW IT! I'm not the only one, haha." Tian Muyang's admiration for Wei Wuyin reached an absolute limit and couldn't be increased anymore. Who knows what behind-the-scenes things he had done during the World of Eden to motivate individuals to stay behind?After a long, long while of continuous laughter, Tian Muyang abruptly revealed a severe expression. Then, he stepped off the Voidship and flew away!

WOOSH!!!

He sped toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield!

Wei Wuyin was now a Worldly Saint Alchemist, so the King of Everlore's Concoction Method of an Oath-Breaking Product was bound to reveal itself in the coming years. He needed to make his preparations.

While the rest shockingly watched as Tian Muyang departed without a single word, they felt lost.

What now?

Meanwhile, on the Everlore Association's Voidship, Evergod stared unblinkingly at Baby Defiant. His gaze was glazed with an unfathomable chilly light.

"Do you think you're invincible?" Those words were calmly said, yet they were laced with such hellish emotions that even demons might tremble in fear. "Do you think you can make me submit to you again? That I'll kneel with my mouth open? That I'll simply lay down and take it for crumbs?

"You silver-eyed bastard...never again."

"NEVER AGAIN!"
