"Are they all as powerful as... this young lady?"
As a newly born giant beast, Yelagund had not even finished compiling the "external" and "inner" aspects of her power, and fought entirely on instinct and sheer strength. The snow and wind that filled the sky were merely the aftermath of her power, not her true power.
"There are a few who are similar to Nian, but the rest are stronger than Nian..."
Having her shortcoming exposed, Nian couldn't help but pinch Si Ye, but she didn't refute anything. As the ninth-ranked actress, she did have a gap with the actresses at the top of the rankings.
On the one hand, it is because before the problem of the Year Beast is solved, one's style of behavior and attitude towards life lead to slacking off in spiritual practice.
On the other hand, for Sui Pian, the higher the ranking, the earlier they separated from the Sui Beast, and the more power they separated. The eldest brother Shuo, who woke up first, once had the opportunity to reabsorb Sui Pian and transform into a new Sui. However, Shuo felt that the eleven weak consciousnesses that had just been separated were his family, so the Sui Pian family came into being.
"...Well, I understand what you mean, Mr. Si Ye, about it being bad for heart health."
Yelagund let out a mournful cry and covered his chest somewhat exaggeratedly.
Even if we ignore all the other messy stuff, just looking at the fact that the Terra Unified Council has eleven behemoths, it is already a force that most countries on the Terra continent cannot resist. Faced with such a force, Kjerag naturally has to stand on the other side as soon as possible.

Chapter 377 Small talk
Gudu Gudu~
The cheese hot pot was being heated by the small Originium stove, and bubbles were constantly rising.
After Si Ye and Yelagund reached a consensus, both sides tacitly avoided discussing Kjerag's future development path.
There's really not much to talk about. Kjerag's only decent technology in animal husbandry and textiles. Kalan Trade's main profit comes from its monopoly on imports of industrial products and commodities. When exporting abroad, it can only export simple raw materials and agricultural products. Overall, it has no competitiveness at all.
Faced with such a small religious regime with no industry but manpower, no technology but industry, and no manpower but technology, even Kazdel is considered an advanced country that masters high-tech compared to it.
After all, in Sakazi, there is the Lich King's Court, which is rich in college students, and the Banshee King's Court, which is proficient in technology. Even the notorious Blood Demons have a stable family inheritance, so there won't be a group of illiterate Blood Demons.
But Kjerag was different. Although Kjerag had a much higher literacy rate than the war-torn Kazdel, this literacy rate was just that: a literacy rate. The rigidity and conservatism of thought had led to social stagnation, and the flourishing of religion had further strengthened the power of conservative forces.
This is also the reason why SilverAsh, one of the few college students who returned from studying abroad in Kjerag, was eager to establish Kalan Trading and began to absorb external technology.
It is true that SilverAsh is ambitious. He does want to expand the Kalan trade and the Shivaash family, but the reason why he works hard to promote change is more because he has truly gone out and witnessed the rapid changes in the outside world.
The outside world had begun to counterattack with high-speed warships and naval guns, but Kjerag's army was struggling to equip all its personnel with advanced crossbows, and most people were still using bows and arrows. This disparity in strength would make anyone anxious.
In this situation, even if Si Ye assisted Kjerag in all aspects in the same way as he assisted Kazdel, if the Kjerag people's ideas and concepts did not keep up, and no leader who could command the support of the people emerged, it would be nothing but a waste of effort.
However, judging by the current situation, Kjerag's civilian supplies would become more abundant if he joined the United Council's joint trade route, which was not without benefits.
Yelagund's ideas are also a bit old-fashioned. Faced with the ever-changing Terra continent, she still needs time to understand and learn, and this process cannot be rushed.
"...Hearing about these experiences makes me feel quite emotional... Perhaps, as Mr. Si Ye said, if I want Kjerag to develop, I need to let more people go out and see the world, even myself."
Nian's fully-qualified skill of being a person of convenience allowed her to become acquainted with Yelagund very smoothly.
As a giant beast, Nian often wanders around. Although he rarely leaves Yan Country, it is much better than Yelagund who just stays in Kjerag and stares blankly.
Yelagund was so moved by the chattering little stories that he began to yearn for the outside world.
"Right, go out and broaden your horizons, so that you can better manage this country."
Nian enthusiastically put his arm around Yelagund's shoulders and began to extend an invitation.
"I recommend you to come to Yan Country and have a look. I'll take you to eat some decent hot pot..."
It seems that although Kjerag's cheese hot pot tastes good, Nian still can't forget her authentic Sichuan-style hot pot, and he didn't forget to mention it when inviting Yelagund.
"Then I'll bother you, but I should bring Enya with me when the time comes."
Looking at Enya and Enshia who were secretly looking into the inner hall from the outer hall, Yelagund still believed that the Kjerag people should forge a path of their own.
Even if she had to step into the spotlight now, in Yelagunde's eyes, it was just like she had done hundreds of years ago, providing shelter and help when Kjerag was still weak. Once the Kjerag people were able to stand firmly on the world stage, she would quietly fade away again.
Since Kjerag is to develop and no longer stand still, Saint Enya, as the agent of Yelagund, must also broaden her horizons and learn new knowledge, instead of staying in the holy mountain and reading the Yelagund scriptures that she has almost memorized.
"I can offer you some preferential treatment. You can select a group of Kjerag people to go to any of the Unified Council member states for further training. This will be considered part of the reward for your cooperation with the Unified Council's operations."
Si Ye saw through Yelagunde's thoughts and generously gave her a number of study abroad places. However, given the level of the Kjerag people, it was unknown whether all these places could be used.
"Well, you are really considerate..."
Yelagund waved to the door and pulled the two little snow leopards who had been eavesdropping into the room.
"Did you hear that? You two have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders."
"Hey, Lord Yelagund, can I go too?"
Enxia's face was full of joy. She was very happy to see her sister Enya today. If her sister came down the mountain to study, wouldn't they be able to meet every day again, as if they were back to the old days?
"Of course, but don't just play around. You're going out to learn new things and come back to build Kjerag."
Yelagund looked at his saint and blinked.
"My Saint, I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you to go down the mountain, so you can go down the mountain."
"Thank you, Master Yelagund."
Enya also blinked, and the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of communication through telepathy.
"Okay, I'll notify the three clan council later. Don't stand at the door and eavesdrop. Go get some food and eat in the back room."
After sending away the joyful little snow leopard, Yelagund seemed to remember something.
"Miss Nian, I remember you mentioned earlier that you wanted to invest in opening a cinema in Kjerag. Is there anything I can do?"
Once you start communicating with people, there are two things that you can’t avoid talking about: hot pot and movies.
They were eating hot pot right now, and as for the movie, the money they had used to hire the crew and actors that year had been saved because of Si Ye's interruption. This money might not be enough to contract a theater chain in a big city, but it should be more than enough to invest in a theater in Kjerag.
Nian thought that she shouldn't be too ambitious, and should first open a cinema in a place like Kjerag where there is no competition and make some achievements. With such achievements, it would be easier for her to attract investment from Ji.
"Hey, I have my own equipment. If you want to open a cinema, it will be quick. Just sell me or rent me a piece of land."
Nian was being lectured by Shu for wasting food by trying to throw chili peppers into the fondue, and when she heard Yelagund mention the movie, she hurried over.
"...When the cinema opens, your attendance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be the greatest support for me."
"Well, that's no problem."
The two giants discussed with each other and finalized the matter of Kjerag's first cinema. Si Ye didn't know what to say. He could only hope that Nian would show mercy and not let the Kjerag people's three views collapse.
...
Chapter 378 Shelagh is in trouble
Wrapped in the wind and snow, Yelagund once again brought his will upon this snowy land. After a brief ceremony, the Council of Three Clans and the Manzhu Court once again presented tribute and maps of the family territories to the Holy Mountain, demonstrating their determination to return full power to Yelagund.
After hundreds of years, Yelagund once again issued direct orders to Kjerag's people, including but not limited to:
Led by the Shivaash family and assisted by all other races, Kjerag will complete the connection with the Terra Unified Council as soon as possible.
Each ethnic group sends its young and talented people to study abroad in countries like Columbia, Yan, and Casimir to learn advanced knowledge and build a better Kjerag.
And the distinguished guest from Yan Country, Nian, will invest in building a cinema in Kjerag...
Not to mention SilverAsh who was ecstatic after hearing that he could join the Terra Unified Council, and the construction of the cinema which was completely unrelated and had no beginning or end.
The mere idea of studying abroad had already caused a stir among the various tribes of Kjerag. However, because these were orders given by Yelagund himself, no diehards dared to object. They simply kept communicating with each other. Their limited perspectives made it difficult for most Kjerag people to understand Yelagund's intentions.
However, Enya didn't care about all that. Relying on Yelagund's support, she casually wrote her own name and her sister Enshia's name on the list, and then pretended to think for a moment before writing the name of the head maid "Ya'er" on it.
It's not unreasonable for a Saint of Yelagund to bring a maid with her when she goes out (right and proper!)
The members of various tribes who were still in the communication stage took a look at Enya's behavior of running away. They had nothing to say about the saint's behavior of abusing her power for personal gain. After all, Yelagund was still standing there.
Yelagund granted Nian a piece of land near the central square of Kjerag. After all, only in such a core area can there be a stable power supply to operate the cinema.
"…I wouldn't open a movie theater and then shut down Kjerag's power."
Accustomed to the powerful power of the mobile city, Nian had completely ignored this and looked at Kjerag's weak generator, not knowing what to do.
Of course, Kjerag also has mines and some outdated industrial equipment, which use another set of power generation units that Silver Gray brought back. However, because they are industrial generators, the pollution and noise mean that they cannot be pulled to the core area for use.
You mean pulling cables for remote power supply?
Look at the snow flying all over Kjerag. Although Yelagund can control the snow, she can't stop the snow from falling all over Kjerag just for a group of power supplies, so...
"…Use the holographic projection device I gave you. It has its own energy source. Kjerag's road to success is long and arduous."
It's not that Kjerag doesn't have an intercity network and power supply network, but these technologies are decades old. Not only are they outdated and bloated, but some of them were only repaired and put into use after SilverAsh established Kalan Trade. There is a serious gap between the old and the new generations, and the connection interface standards cannot be unified.
Si Ye shook her head, thinking that it would be better not to let high-power projection equipment harm old antiques like Sherag, so she simply let Nian use the batch of projection equipment prepared for her in advance.
The first holographic projection cinema in the entire Terra continent has landed in Kjerag!
The Kjerag people were actually not too unfamiliar with what movies were; they had come into contact with some videotapes and other visual works.
However, due to the poor mobility within and outside Kjerag before the establishment of Kalan Trade, the videotapes in the hands of the Kjerag people are relatively simple in content, consisting of early documentaries and early literary and artistic products, which emphasize simplicity and rusticity. They cannot be compared with the blockbusters with full plots and special effects in the hands of the younger generation.
However, before the special effects blockbuster shocked the Kjerag people, the construction modules that Si Ye used to help Nian build the cinema opened their eyes first.
"...Is this the technology out there? A house that big was built just like that???"
Axtos looked at the rapidly rising buildings and couldn't help but click his tongue. Although influenced by customs and beliefs, he did not agree with SilverAsh's large-scale introduction of technology from the outside world, but when this genuine dream-like scene appeared in front of him, he could only marvel.
"Isn't this really the divine power of that great god?"
Latatos was also shocked and uncertain. She was more thoughtful than a reckless man like Actor. After realizing that the Shivaash family had accumulated a lot of wealth through foreign trade, this squirrel had also studied and learned some news from the outside world, but she had never heard of such an outrageous thing.
If a building can be built so quickly, what are the construction workers for?
"Wow, Master Shivaash, is this the high-tech from the outside world you mentioned? Can we buy some of it so that the workers won't have to work so hard during the annual renovation of Manzhuyuan?"
Yelagund was obviously quick to accept new things, and looked at SilverAsh, indicating that Kjerag also needed this kind of good thing that saved him time and effort.
"Of course, we can't let you pay for something this affordable for the entire Kjerag alone... I vaguely remember that a few hundred years ago, I was bored and refined a batch of red gold. Take it with you when your caravan sets out again."
"... Yelagund... Your task is somewhat difficult..."
It was undoubtedly a blessing to receive funding from Lord Yelagund, but SilverAsh was also devastated after receiving the task. He had no idea how to explain to Yelagund that such super high-tech things were not available in other countries. Even if they did, they were treated like treasures and could not be sold outside.
"Is it because of insufficient funds, or are there other difficulties? Feel free to tell me..."
Yelagund rolled up her sleeves, as if she was going to use divine power to open a mine manually if she didn't have enough funds.
