Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

Following closely behind was a man with smooth brown hair who looked rather thin and casual.

His face bore a resemblance to that of Sauros, but their demeanor was entirely different. His eyes were gentler, and a faint smile played on his lips, giving him an approachable air. He wore a well-fitting blue robe, also a noble attire, but compared to Sauros's imposing presence, he possessed a more scholarly and refined air.

The butler continued dutifully, "This is Mayor Philip Boreas Greirat of Roya City."

The last to enter was an impressive orc female warrior. She had a healthy, chocolate-colored complexion and wore a set of highly practical leather armor—which, while seemingly "revealing" at first glance, was actually designed with both agility and protection in mind during combat. Her strong muscles were clearly defined, yet she possessed a feminine grace, and the scars scattered across her body told the story of her rich combat experience.

The orc female warrior wore a black eye patch covering her left eye, but her right eye, which was exposed, was as sharp as an eagle's. Her features were well-proportioned and three-dimensional, giving her an overall imposing and authoritative aura, like a leader.

Most striking features were her cat-like ears that twitched sensitively from time to time, and her strong, tiger-like tail that swayed naturally from side to side. Her thick, glossy fur indicated good health.

The butler then introduced for the third time, "This is the Black Wolf Sword King, Lord Kyrie Idristieldia."

Shaolus and Philip settled into the luxurious sofa opposite Chen Ming. The sofa was made of high-quality mahogany and covered with thick velvet cushions.

Kyrie Il silently stepped back and stood in a corner of the room. Her chosen position was perfectly strategic—it wouldn't disturb the conversation, yet she could observe the entire room, facilitating her guard duties. Her posture was relaxed yet alert, one hand resting naturally on the hilt of her sword at her waist, displaying the professionalism of a seasoned warrior.

As the aunt of Lynea Tedludia, the cat-eared girl, Kyrie Irwin is indeed a beauty.

Despite his age and the scars on his face that did deduct some points, Chen Ming's overall appearance, as determined by the system, still scored 80 points, which is quite high.

It's conceivable that during Kyrie Irwin's most beautiful and youthful period, her overall appearance was similar to, or even surpassed, that of Lynea the cat-eared girl.

Unfortunately, the system showed that she only had 1 "power bank" in her possession, which did not meet the system's requirements.

Moreover, according to Chen Ming, Gilead had a decadent past with Paul Grellatt and Alina Lizzie during her heat, and she had special feelings for Paul.

Therefore, Chen Ming simply glanced at the identified information, closed the system interface, and turned his attention back to the meeting in front of him.

"Lord Mugen, I've long admired your name."

After Philip sat down, he politely inquired, "I heard from the butler that you had something extremely urgent to inform us of. Could you please tell me what it is?"

Chen Ming noticed that although Philip's tone was gentle and polite, there was a hint of wariness and inquiry in his eyes.

This is understandable. Anyone would be wary if a legendary powerful figure suddenly visited and claimed to have urgent business.

Meanwhile, Shoros's gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Ming and Alice, as if he were assessing something.

Although Kyrie Irwin stood casually in the corner, Chen Ming could sense that her muscles were subtly tense, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.

When asked about his future father-in-law's question, Chen Ming did not keep him in suspense but went straight to the point and explained his purpose.

“I recently mastered an ancient, divine-level precognitive magic. On my first use, I glimpsed a vision of the future—five and a half years from now, the territory of Fituia will be struck by an unprecedented natural disaster, a catastrophe that will affect everyone within its borders…”

The so-called "god-level precognitive magic" was naturally a fabrication by Chen Ming—in any case, none of the people present could verify whether such magic actually existed.

However, the content of the prophecy was absolutely true. As someone who knew the original plot, Chen Ming was fully aware of the future development of this world. In a sense, this could indeed be considered a kind of "foreseeing the future".

Upon hearing this startling prophecy, both Saloth and Philip leaned back slightly, their expressions instantly turning solemn. The air in the reception room seemed to freeze, broken only by the crackling of the burning wood in the fireplace.

If an ordinary person came up to them and told them that a natural disaster would happen in the future, they would definitely not believe it, and might even have someone drag the person out and teach them a lesson without saying a word.

But the person who said these words was the famous [Infinite], which made them have to take it very seriously.

After all, for humans, the Undying Demon King can be classified as a "natural disaster" level threat.

Several years ago, in order to protect the magical city of Sharia, [Infinite] single-handedly defeated the immortal demon king Badigandi, which is enough to prove that he is a benevolent and kind strongman.

Now that he has traveled a great distance to issue a warning, attempting to save countless lives in the territory of Fetoa, this action is logically reasonable.

Philip took a deep breath; this matter was clearly beyond his control.

He instinctively turned to his father, Shaoluos, his eyes pleading for help. As the mayor of Roya, he was adept at handling routine government affairs, but when faced with a major crisis concerning the survival of the entire territory, the lord had to make the final decision.

Shaoluos, being relatively calm, patted his son on the shoulder to signal him to calm down, then turned to Chen Ming and solemnly asked for his advice:

"Thank you, Lord Infinite, for informing us of this crucial information. Do you have any further suggestions? How should we respond to this disaster?"

Chen Ming had already prepared an answer, and he calmly replied, "Of course there is a solution. As the saying goes, 'If you save the land but lose the people, you will lose both the land and the people; if you save the people but lose the land, you will save both the land and the people!' We just need to relocate all the residents of the Fetoa territory to the neighboring area, and then they can return to rebuild their homes after the natural disaster is over."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Sauros's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again, and he shook his head with a wry smile:

"Lord Infinite's words are very philosophical, but putting them into practice is fraught with difficulties. For example, there's the issue of resettlement. How can we persuade the lords of neighboring territories to agree to accept such a large number of immigrants? Another example is the issue of supplies. My knights can escort them along the way, so safety isn't a major problem. But once the people leave their homeland, they will lose their source of livelihood. If they stay in the resettlement area for too long, there is a high possibility that they will freeze or starve to death..."

Chen Ming smiled faintly upon hearing this: "It's simple, I'll just provide the funding, won't I?"

After saying that, he no longer concealed his aura.

In an instant, a vast and boundless magical power, as powerful as a star, permeated the entire reception room, giving everyone present a profound sense of awe.

In the corner, Kyrie Irvine instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword, but then realized that it was not hostility, but a pure display of power.

Chapter 252: A Face Full of Childlike Innocence

After demonstrating his power, Chen Ming casually waved his hand, and amidst the flashes of golden light, dozens of enormous treasure chests appeared out of thin air, neatly stacked in the center of the spacious living room.

The lids of these boxes popped open, revealing boxes full of gold coins.

The entire room seemed to have transformed into a treasure trove, its golden glow even dwarfing the flames of the fireplace.

Demonstrating strength first, then providing funding—this is called a combination of carrot and stick.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Chen Ming explained in detail: "Regarding the resettlement issue, you can rent a piece of land from the neighboring lord for a period of six years, and I will cover all the rent! As for the supplies, it's even simpler. I have prepared enough supplies for all the residents of the Fitoia territory to use for six years, which is more than enough to get through this natural disaster!"

Looking at the room full of gold coins and feeling the unfathomable magic power emanating from Chen Ming, Shaoluos's last bit of doubt vanished.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Ming, and solemnly said, "Lord Infinite's considerations are very thorough, and there is plenty of time. I will immediately arrange for Philip to rent land from the neighboring lord and send people to inform the people, guaranteeing that all relocation and resettlement work will be completed within two years! The Boreas Grerat family will forever remember your kindness."

Philip also rose to his feet and bowed, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.

Even the usually expressionless Kyrie Irvine nodded slightly to Chen Ming in respect.

“Very good. Over the next few years, I will visit Roya City from time to time to check on your migration progress. As long as you complete the resettlement work well, that will be the best way to repay my kindness!”

Chen Ming's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the spacious reception room. His gaze swept over everyone present, finally lingering for a moment on Alice's curious face before he gave her a kind smile.

Immediately afterward, his figure began to blur, as if merging into an invisible ripple. The next second, he vanished completely from his spot, as if he had never been there at all, with only the lingering magical fluctuations in the air proving his mere presence.

The plan to save the territory of Fetoia has finally taken its first successful step...

Chen Ming had already returned to his mansion in the magical city of Sharia, but the people who remained in the reception room in Roya City were still immersed in the shocking scene they had just witnessed.

Shoros and Philip stared in awe at the spot where Chen Ming had disappeared, speechless for a long time—no wonder he was a powerful being capable of instantly killing an immortal demon king; his ability to appear and disappear without a trace with just that one spatial magic was enough to instill fear in people.

Philip couldn't help but think that someone with this ability could easily break through the defenses of any nobleman, and could probably come and go freely even from the heavily guarded royal palace.

After a long silence, Philip took a deep breath, turned to his father, and cautiously asked, "Father, what do you think the natural disaster that Lord Infinite spoke of might be?"

On the surface, he was asking about the nature of the natural disaster, but what he really wanted to ask was whether what Lord Infinite had just said was true or false.

However, he feared that the Infinite One might not have truly left, or that the Infinite One might be able to sense his words from a distance, so he was extremely cautious in his choice of words.

No one knows a son better than his father. Sauros understood what his son really wanted to ask, but he did not answer his question directly.

Instead, he gave him a warning look, then turned to Kyrie Illusion in the corner and asked, "Kyrie Illusion, in your opinion, how strong is Lord Infinity?"

Kyrie Illuminati remained silent for a moment, his cat ears twitching slightly, as if recalling the vast magic he had just felt.

Then she frankly said, "If he had attacked just now, I would be dead."

This statement is simple and direct, yet it contains a great deal of information.

As the Black Wolf Sword King, Kyrie Irwin's strength is already considered top-tier in the Kingdom of Asura, but she has no doubt that she would be powerless against Chen Ming.

Although for the strong in this world, powerful magic does not necessarily mean powerful combat strength, because if a swordsman gets close, a mage may be killed before he can even cast a spell.

However, the Undying Demon King Badigandi is one of the world's top warriors. Chen Ming's ability to instantly kill the Undying Demon King in a public duel shows that he is not afraid of close combat.

In this situation, one's vast magical power can be unleashed with ease, creating an overwhelming advantage.

Kyrie Irvine estimated that even a hundred of himself working together wouldn't be enough to kill Chen Ming. The difference in strength was beyond what quantity could compensate for; it was a qualitative difference.

Upon hearing this, Sholos earnestly admonished his son:

"Do you understand? No matter what the natural disaster is, no matter who caused it, it is not something we can change! When facing a powerful being of this level, our best option is to follow orders."

Philip understood his father's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand. All we can do is act according to the instructions of the Infinite Lord. In any case, the Infinite Lord has provided ample time and surplus funds, so we will not suffer any losses. On the contrary, we may even avoid a disaster because of this."

“Good, go!” Shaoluos nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, Father!" Philip bowed respectfully, then directed his servants to carry a chest of gold coins, boarded a carriage, and headed to the neighboring territory to visit the lord and begin negotiations on leasing the land.

Just then, Alice, who had been quietly observing, suddenly grabbed her grandfather's leg and loudly demanded, "Grandfather, I want to learn from Lord Infinity how to defeat the Demon King, is that alright?"

Alice's eyes gleamed with a burning light. She had never been interested in knowledge of culture and etiquette; the poetry, history, and aristocratic manners taught by her tutors had made her drowsy.

But she was extremely interested in power!

Witnessing Chen Ming's display of immense strength and mysterious magic filled her with a strong sense of longing.

That's why she wanted to learn from Chen Ming, but Chen Ming's presence was too imposing, even completely suppressing her most admired grandfather, so she naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous. It wasn't until Chen Ming left that she dared to make this request to her grandfather.

Despite being a violent and willful little girl, Alice understands a simple yet cruel truth earlier than her peers: the weak are easy to bully, but the strong are not to be trifled with.

For example, in the original story, when Alice first met the green-haired Ridge Rudd, she was so frightened that her legs went weak. She curled up in a ball like a startled turtle, trembling all over and crying loudly. She didn't dare to make any provocative moves at all—which was completely different from the fearless little tyrant in Ping Ri.

The situation was actually quite similar when I faced Chen Ming just now.

Although Chen Ming didn't release any obvious killing intent, the unfathomable magical power and subtle pressure emanating from him still instinctively instilled awe in Alice. Only because of Chen Ming's gentle demeanor did the little girl not cry; instead, she felt a sense of longing and admiration…

"Hahaha!"

When Sauros heard his granddaughter's request, he laughed heartily with satisfaction, his loud laughter echoing in the reception room.

His rough, large hands gently stroked Alice's fiery red curly hair, his eyes filled with affection and surprise.

My granddaughter has finally started to ask to study on her own initiative. This is such a rare thing!

The problem that hadn't been solved despite hiring so many private tutors had such an immediate and remarkable effect with the arrival of Master Wuxian. It seems that true strength can indeed inspire others to strive for improvement.

Sauros was very supportive of his granddaughter's request, as he had originally intended to do the same.

If Alice could become an apprentice of the Infinite Lord, she would not only receive the best instruction but also build a closer relationship with this powerful figure, which would be extremely beneficial to the Boreas family.

However, this wasn't something he could decide unilaterally, so he cautiously said, "Alice has grown up and is now ambitious. It's good that you want to learn from Lord Infinity. I'll ask him about it next time he comes to inspect the migration progress..."

He paused, his tone becoming serious: "But if Lord Infinite doesn't agree, you're not allowed to act recklessly or throw a tantrum; and even if he does agree, you must behave well and listen attentively to his teachings, understand?"

"Yes, Grandfather, I heard you!"

Alice nodded expectantly, her red eyes sparkling with excitement.

She couldn't wait to start learning those powerful magic and combat skills, dreaming that one day she could be like Master Infinity and have the strength to defeat the Demon King.

……

Meanwhile, in the mansion of the magical city of Sharia.

As soon as Chen Ming appeared in the living room, two figures rushed over with delight.

Silvermoon threw herself into his arms like a joyful fawn, while Hilfiet clung tightly to his leg, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Unlike Loki, Jin Bisha, Linia, and Prusena, who actually attend classes at the magic university, Yin Yue used to go to the magic university every day, but mainly to accompany Chen Ming.

Chen Ming didn't go to the Magic University today, so she naturally wouldn't go either. Instead, she chose to stay home and play with young Hilfiet.

"Master, you're back! Didn't you say you wouldn't be home until tonight?"

Yin Yue hugged Chen Ming happily and asked in confusion. Her soft, long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a golden waterfall, and her eyes were full of joy.

Hilfiet said in a very childish voice, "Master, welcome home~"

The four-and-a-half-year-old girl still speaks with a childish, babyish voice. Her long green hair is tied into two little braids, which sway gently with her movements, making her extremely cute.

Chen Ming patted the head of the girl and the little girl with his left and right hands respectively, feeling the softness of their hair, and then smiled and said, "Things went very smoothly, so I came back early."

His tone was relaxed and cheerful, indicating that he was in a very good mood.

In fact, Chen Ming was surprised that he was able to persuade the lord of Fituia to relocate his people so easily.

He originally thought he would need to explain for a long time before the other party would believe his natural disaster warning, and he even prepared multiple plans to persuade them.

He underestimated the impact of his defeat of the Undying Demon King.

After all, when Chen Ming came to this world, he did not consider the Undying Demon King as a potential enemy.

At the time, he envisioned supreme beings like gods and dragons as his enemies, so he didn't pay much attention to defeating the Demon King. But now, it seems that in the human kingdoms of this world, the feat of defeating the Demon King is enough to command respect and trust from anyone.

Chen Ming played with Yin Yue and Xilufeiye for a while, and seeing that the house was empty and rather deserted, he suggested:

Let's go shopping.

Chen Ming was worried that keeping them cooped up at home all the time would make them feel stifled, so they needed to go out for some fresh air occasionally.
