Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Although it is called a gathering of ten thousand races, in reality only about a hundred races came to the gathering, and they were all small races, with not even a single large race.

There is one powerful clan stronger than the Great Clan, and that is the Dragon Clan. They will come here, firstly because they are close by, and secondly because they are giving face to their in-laws.

Dragons and humans have intermarried for generations and have a very close relationship. Therefore, when humans have important events to attend, the dragons will definitely send people to show their support.

"Humanity is still too weak, and its influence is limited. To date, it has only established connections with about a hundred small tribes, and has no major tribes at all."

Looking at the guests who had come from afar, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The primordial world was vast, beyond imagination, so even though the human race had tried its best to develop, its fame remained limited, confined to the vicinity of the East Sea, and did not spread to a wider area.

This resulted in only races from the vicinity of the East Sea engaging in trade with the human race, and no races from more distant regions.

Although the presence of over a hundred races in the trade is already quite a lot, Jiang Yuan still hopes that more races will come in the future, because only in this way can the human race bring greater benefits.

Humanity's main income comes not from trade, but from taxation. Naturally, the more races that come and go, and the more frequent the trade, the more taxes can be collected.

"If only there were teleportation arrays in the primordial world." As if he had just thought of something, Jiang Yuan suddenly sighed.

He just realized that the reason why races from more distant regions did not come to trade with humans was not necessarily because humans were not well-known or because they had never heard of humans. More likely, it was because the journey was too long, and even if they knew about humans, they would not dare to come.

The primordial world is far from peaceful. Within a million miles, things are relatively safe, and even celestial beings can be assured of their safety. However, once they travel beyond a million miles, even celestial beings must be careful, as a slight misstep could lead to mortal danger.

If the distance exceeds ten thousand miles, one must at least possess the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal to ensure their safety.

As for traveling through the primordial wilderness, that's something only a Great Immortal could do.

Without this level of cultivation, a Taiyi Golden Immortal would dare to embark on the journey, but if they cannot cultivate to become a Daluo Golden Immortal along the way, they will only die on the road.

Humanity is but a small part of the primordial world. Races closer to humanity are relatively safe, with little risk in traveling to and from them. But those races far from humanity—tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, even billions of miles away…

They must be crazy to travel such a long distance to trade with humans, carrying so many resources. Are they afraid that others won't dare to rob them?

The risks on the road are too great, and the effort is far from proportional to the reward; it's simply not worth the risk.

Therefore, even though they know that human trade is thriving and can bring in many rare resources, they will not travel a long way to get here.

But with the teleportation array, everything will be different.

No matter how far the distance, it can be easily traversed using teleportation arrays. It also shortens the time required for travel and reduces the risks along the way.

In this way, trading with humans became profitable for races even those far away from humans.

Since there is profit to be made, what else is there to say? There is no need for publicity. Driven by their profit-seeking instinct, they will spontaneously come to trade with the human race.

"To get rich, build roads first; this is truly a profound and wise saying."

What else could Jiang Yuan say? Truth is truth, and it still applies even if one travels to the prehistoric world.

Knowing how to solve it doesn't mean you can solve it. Building roads in later generations is no easy task, let alone in the more dangerous and vast prehistoric world.

Even if Jiang Yuan worked himself to death, he could only research teleportation arrays, but he couldn't deploy them throughout the entire prehistoric world. This was beyond his capabilities; only a great master could accomplish it.

"We can only take it one step at a time. Let's try setting up teleportation arrays near the human race first, and then slowly expand outwards."

Jiang Yuan pondered silently, "Teleportation arrays are also divided into different levels. Powerful teleportation arrays can teleport across realms. Weak teleportation arrays can't even travel tens of thousands of miles."

His idea was to lay out short-distance teleportation arrays in a grid pattern around the human race, and then slowly expand them until they covered the entire prehistoric world.

Why short distance, not long distance? The reason is simple: the primordial environment is harsh, and void storms frequently erupt.

Short-distance teleportation arrays are not affected by the impact because of their small size and short distance.

However, medium- and long-distance teleportation arrays are different. When activated, they will create a long void channel in the void.

Such void passages are often unable to withstand the impact of void storms or turbulent currents and will be torn apart.

Therefore, for safety reasons, it is better to set up a short-distance teleportation array.

Although the distance teleported by a short-distance teleportation array is short, as long as there are enough of them, they can still reach their destination through repeated transfers.

While this method is not as fast as using a long-distance teleportation array, it is still far faster than flying on your own.

The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed; creating a teleportation array wouldn't be difficult for him.

Once a teleportation array is set up and a paid service is enabled, no race can refuse, and some will even voluntarily contribute funds to help set it up.

Docks and waterways!

The location of the teleportation array can be regarded as a port in the primordial world, and the void passage it constructs is the golden waterway of the primordial world.

Their emergence not only shortened the distance between different places, but also facilitated transportation and brought huge benefits.

Who could refuse that? Everyone would probably rush to build it.

……

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, what brings you to our gathering here?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, and Jiang Yuan was still lost in thought, the impatient Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't help but call out to wake him up.

"Ahhh~"

"It was my rudeness. I apologize to everyone. I was just thinking of something that could benefit us, and that's why I couldn't help but get lost in thought."

Jiang Yuan, who was lost in thought, was suddenly awakened and quickly apologized to everyone, feeling embarrassed.

It was indeed impolite of him. As the host, he was distracted after all the guests arrived and did not get up to greet them.

In other words, he was a disciple of a sage, and his status was extraordinary. If it were anyone else, these Great Luo Golden Immortals would have already started cursing.

"What good news could have captivated you for so long? Could you tell us?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, everyone became interested and pressed for more information.

No one thought he was lying. If he were to lie under these circumstances, he would not only lose Jiang Yuan's support, but also that of the Goddess Nuwa.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's get down to business first. The main reason I called you all here today is to discuss the cultivation of millet."

"Don't tell me you don't know what Xuanhuangji is. Over the years, your people have stolen quite a lot of it. You should have studied its uses by now."

Jiang Yuan didn't mention the teleportation array, but instead brought up the important matter of how to promote Xuanhuangji in the prehistoric world.
