I can find treasures in my dreams.

Yixia country.

Yixia Island.

The Yixia Islands consist of six main islands and more than one hundred scattered volcanic islands.

The largest island among them is Yixia Island, which is larger than all the other islands combined.

Before the era of natural disasters.

The Yixia Islands have a population of over 1.5 million and are a world-renowned tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million tourists every year.

After the era of natural disasters.

The Yixia Islands have been ravaged by a series of natural disasters, resulting in a population reduction of half, leaving only a little over 70 people today.

The islands' economic mainstay, tourism, has been devastated, with tourists almost disappearing altogether.

Deeply troubled, the state government had sought help from the Blue House, but the Blue House was facing various problems and was simply unable to support a state isolated overseas.

Therefore, many people are unaware that Yixia Prefecture had a strong desire for independence.

Therefore, after the federal army suffered two consecutive crushing defeats, with millions of soldiers killed in action, the federal army was forced to retreat.

Yixia Prefecture did not hesitate to declare independence from the Federation and established the Yixia Kingdom.

Early in the morning.

A beach on Yixia Island.

Ms. Leilani, the highest-ranking official of the Yixia Kingdom, silently endured the biting cold wind with a large group of officials.

But no one dared to utter a single complaint.

Because a truly important person will be arriving at this beach later.

Let me add a few more words.

Originally, Ms. Leilani was not the governor of Yixia State. The real governor was an old white man who had always been loyal to the Azure Palace.

On the eve of Yixia Prefecture's independence, the old white man died suddenly and mysteriously.

Due to the influence of mysterious external forces, Ms. Leilani stood out and became the country's highest official.

A large number of Yi-Xia natives subsequently entered the ranks of the Yi-Xia Kingdom's high-ranking officials, and there were hardly any white-skinned people to be seen.

Historically speaking...

The indigenous people of Yixia once intermarried with people from the Eastern Continent, thus their appearance incorporated features of the Eastern Continent people.

Their skin is darker, and they have black hair, making them very different from people with fair skin.

A few seconds passed.

Ms. Leilani turned to a middle-aged official beside her and asked with unusual politeness, "Minister Huang, approximately how much longer until Mr. Lingya arrives?"

The super-important figure whom all the high-ranking officials of the Yixia Kingdom were waiting for obediently in the cold wind was none other than Mr. Lingya.

Minister Huang glanced at the time displayed on the smart glasses and replied with a smile, "I estimate there are still five to ten minutes left."

Judging from his appearance, he looked exactly like a person from the Xia Dynasty with yellow skin and black hair.

In fact, he was indeed a person from the Great Xia Dynasty.

He was a native of the Great Xia, with impeccable revolutionary credentials, and had never set foot on the Yixia Islands before.

Currently, he holds the position of Minister of Urban Construction in the Yixia Kingdom.

In the upper echelons of the Yi-Xia Kingdom, besides Minister Huang, there are six other officials from the Great Xia Kingdom, and even more officials at the middle and lower levels.

The most typical example is the Immigration Agency, where not only is the director from mainland China, but more than 70% of the staff are also from mainland China.

As for why so many people from the Great Xia Kingdom suddenly became officials of the Yi Xia Kingdom, that's another story.

"Wow~"

A wave crashed onto the beach.

In the past, when tourism was booming, the beaches were maintained by dedicated staff and looked very clean.

Now, four years have passed since the natural disaster, and the beach has been abandoned for four years, looking rather messy.

Despite the emergency cleanup efforts last night, the surging tides brought new trash just one night later.

Ms. Leilani glanced quickly at the beach and felt a pang of regret; she should have had the beach cleaned again that morning.

If the Yixia Islands leave a bad impression on the important figures, the future of everyone here will be bleak.

Ms. Leilani gathered her scattered thoughts and asked a question: "Minister Huang, Mr. Lingya used a space teleportation device to come here this time, right? Why didn't anyone set up the Dijiang Spirit Mace on the beach?"

The day before yesterday, Great Xia held a press conference to showcase its space teleportation device, leaving a very deep impression on the world. Of course, this top official would not be unaware of this.

Minister Huang immediately replied, "Because Mr. Lingya is a top-tier expert who possesses powerful spatial supernatural power."

"Without Mr. Lingya's guidance, the Great Xia Supernatural Abilities Research Institute would not have been able to create the space teleportation device."

"Mr. Lingya is very knowledgeable about the principles of spatial teleportation devices. It is said that he can conjure a phantom Dijiang Spirit Mace out of thin air."

"Then send the Emperor Jiang Spirit Mace over from a distance. Using the Emperor Jiang Spirit Mace as an anchor point, we can successfully activate the space teleportation device."

Ms. Leilani didn't know much about the supernatural; she only understood the gist of what she heard.

She didn't understand what the illusory Emperor Jiang's Spirit Mace meant, but she knew that the wielder was an extremely important figure, so she quickly showed a look of admiration: "Truly amazing!"

Minister Huang glanced at the other party and added, "This is a method that is a level above the space teleportation device. Because it does not require the physical Emperor Jiang Spirit Mace, it is much more flexible in deployment."

Ms. Leilani understood this time: "That's right. Doing it this way, we don't need to send people to deploy the Emperor Jiang Spirit Mace in advance. We can transport personnel and supplies at any time through the space teleportation device, and we don't have to worry about losing the treasure."

She sincerely praised, "This is simply a magical technique."

Minister Huang nodded: "That's right!"

The group of high-ranking officials around them, who were not qualified to interrupt, all nodded repeatedly.

Ms. Leilani suddenly didn't know what to say.

Minister Huang remained silent.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Only the sound of the ocean waves could be heard.

Ms. Leilani stood in the cold wind for a while, then suddenly thought of a topic.

She smiled and said, "Minister Huang, the Yixia Islands will definitely get better and better in the future."

"The Yixia Islands possess unique and beautiful scenery that is unparalleled in the world. People from Daxia can come here to enjoy a wonderful vacation and appreciate the charm of tropical islands."

The reason why the Yi and Xia natives were so proactive in approaching the Great Xia was not only to seek the protection of the Great Xia, but also to revitalize the tourism industry.

Looking at the world today, the economic situation of every country is a mess, but the people of Great Xia have money and leisure to travel everywhere.

Moreover, the total population of Great Xia is as high as 20 billion, which is an enormous tourism market with huge development potential. How could the Yi and Xia people not be envious?
Minister Huang laughed: "If the spectacular architecture of Yixia Island is completed, it will surely become a world-famous tourist attraction. At that time, not only the people of Daxia, but people all over the world will want to travel to the Yixia Islands."

The eyes of all the natives, including Ms. Leilani, lit up.

Ms. Leilani asked with anticipation, "What kind of wonder does Great Xia plan to build on Yixia Island? When is the project expected to be completed?"

Minister Huang replied, "The design team for the Great Xia Wonder Project has designed more than a dozen plans, each of which is exquisite."

"But only Mr. Lingya has the final say on which option to choose. Only after Mr. Lingya makes his decision will the project team begin the most detailed project planning, and only then can we calculate the specific completion time."

Ms. Leilani said with a hint of regret, "Well, I was too hasty!"

Minister Huang thought for a moment, then added, "Regardless of the design, the project is enormous. As the world's first demonstration project, it can accommodate at least three million people. Even if Great Xia possesses the world's most advanced intelligent engineering construction cluster, capable of deploying hundreds of thousands of robots day and night, it would still likely take two to three years to complete."

Ms. Leilani, however, did not feel that the progress was slow at all. On the contrary, she praised it highly: "300 million people is more than double the population of the Yixia Islands at its peak. It is already very fast to complete it in two or three years."

She knew perfectly well that the project, which planned to accommodate 300 million people, meant that at least 200 million or more Daxia people would relocate to these islands in the future.

But she felt no resistance at all; on the contrary, she was eager for the people of Daxia to move over, because it meant that the Yi-Xia people were deeply bound to Daxia and could enjoy the enviable benefits of Daxia.

The official said sincerely, "Only a great nation like the Great Xia could accomplish such a magnificent feat of civilization!"

She used the term "civilization project," which means that in her mind, this is a true symbol of civilization.

The group of indigenous officials around them nodded in unison.

The story told by Minister Huang has completely overturned the limits of their imagination.

Ms. Leilani also took a swipe at her "former employer," the Federation of Gameni: "If the Federation were to build this project, it would probably take at least fifty years to complete, and perhaps even a hundred years."

The indigenous officials all smiled.

For the first time, they chimed in.

"That's so right!"

"I think so!"

Everyone knows that before the Age of Natural Disasters, the Federation's efficiency in constructing large-scale projects was appallingly low.

A tunnel that is only a few kilometers long can take decades to build.

After the Age of Natural Disasters arrived, although efficiency improved considerably, it was still far inferior to that of the Great Xia.

at this time.

Something happened.

A bright beam of light suddenly descended from the sky and struck a patch of sand dozens of meters away.

Ms. Leilani was startled and instinctively took a step back.

A commotion broke out among the officials of both the Yi and Xia people.

Minister Huang called out at the opportune moment: "Everyone, please don't worry, Mr. Lingya is coming soon."

The voice just fell.

The light disappeared.

Suddenly, an illusory triangular pyramid appeared on the spot, covered with ancient patterns, giving people a sense of antiquity and mystery.

This is none other than the item that appeared at the press conference – the Dijiang Spirit Mace.

All of this perfectly matches what Minister Huang just said.

The natives stared wide-eyed.

In the realm of the supernatural, the Yixia Islands are definitely considered a "remote mountainous area." How could they have ever personally witnessed such advanced supernatural techniques from Canglan Star?

"Om~"

Although the spirit mace was an illusory object, it emitted the most realistic vibrations.

soon.

Centered on the spirit mace, ripples spread out in layers within a radius of twenty meters.

Within the ripples, many fragmented images then appeared.

One second passed.

The picture became complete.

As you can see, this appears to be a mountain, its surface covered with dark rocks.
Because the Yixia Islands originally had active volcanoes, they were even tourist attractions before the era of natural disasters.

Therefore, the natives could immediately recognize that the black stones on the mountain surface were volcanic rocks formed after the magma erupted and cooled.

Ms. Leilani had some geographical knowledge. After glancing at it a few times, she blurted out, "Is this Mount Taifu in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom?"

The previous global volcanic eruptions included Mount Taifu, one of the most violent eruptions, which forced tens of millions of people in the capital city of Pyeongsang to evacuate. As a result, the people of Pyeongsang happened to be caught in a tsunami, causing the most devastating natural disaster to date.

Mount Taeboku erupted for several months, causing parts of Pyeonggyeong to be submerged in lava and covered with thick volcanic ash. Pyeonggyeong remains abandoned to this day.

Minister Huang nodded and said, "Yes, I just received news that Mr. Lingya took the opportunity to inspect the current situation of Taifu Mountain."

Ms. Leilani realized the implications and was immediately taken aback: "I remember the press conference said that the transmission distance of the space transmitter was 2000 kilometers. Taifushan is more than 2000 kilometers away from the Yixia Islands, isn't it?"

Minister Huang smiled and said, "Yes, Taifu Mountain is about 6500 kilometers away from the Yixia Islands."

He casually explained, "The people of Daxia are rather conservative in some ways and don't like to be too flamboyant."

Ms. Leilani really didn't know what to say.

The transmission distance is clearly 6500 kilometers, but it has been "conservatively" reduced to 2000 kilometers.

Isn't this being too "conservative"?
Minister Huang looked around and specifically reminded everyone, "Everyone, this is confidential information. Please do not spread it."

Everyone nodded quickly.

Ms. Leilani assured her, "We will keep this strictly confidential!"

Minister Huang changed the subject: "Mr. Lingya made a special trip from Taifushan, another purpose of which was to commemorate a certain historical event."

Ms. Leilani paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Harbor Harbor?"

Nearly a century ago, the fleet of the Cherry Sang people traveled thousands of kilometers and launched a daring attack on Hapo Port in the Yixia Islands. This was a very famous historical event.

Minister Huang nodded and said, "The people of Daxia value history and are very good at learning from it."

"This history of the Cherry Blossom people teaches us that mere violence can never conquer a country or region."

Ms. Leilani listened thoughtfully.

The Ying Sang people paid a huge price in history, but never managed to obtain the Yi Xia Islands.

The Great Xia people seemed to have acquired the Yixia Islands without incurring a significant cost.

Compared to the other two, the people of Daxia were indeed much smarter.

She felt that the difference was that the Ying Sang people seemed to only know how to act recklessly, while the Da Xia people were very good at taking advantage of the situation.

The world's nations and the hundreds of thousands of Yi and Xia people calmly accepted the fact that the Great Xia had annexed the Yi and Xia Islands.

Two seconds later.

More than a dozen figures appeared in the picture.

Minister Huang's gaze locked onto the figure at the front, and he quickly greeted him, "Mr. Lingya!"

The Yi and Xia people were a beat slow before bowing to the figure.

Every face was etched with humility.

Ms. Leilani became inexplicably excited, to the point that she stammered, "Mr. Ling... Lingya, your arrival is the greatest honor for all the Yi Xia people!"

In full view.

Yang Fan took a step forward and miraculously walked out of the frame.

This scene left both the Yi and Xia people speechless.

They all had a profound feeling of "witnessing a legendary figure firsthand." (End of Chapter)
