Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Your journey continues on empire

Seeing Tang San return safe and sound, her first reaction was to sigh in relief, "You're back so soon, did everything go smoothly?"

Tang San nodded and said, "It went relatively smoothly, after all, the sea is my domain. I found an archipelago with large islands suitable for human survival. I've also communicated with the Sea Clan there, and they have agreed to let our clansmen move there. Therefore, we need to prepare for the migration as soon as possible. How's the progress with the port construction?"

Pretty Girl replied, "There's no problem with constructing the port, but we're still facing some interference. There's a massive number of Sea Clan members, and although there aren't many powerful creatures near the coast, as soon as we begin building the port and shipyard, we encounter some interference from the Sea Clan, mostly acts of sabotage."

After pondering for a moment, Tang San said, "I'll handle this. You need to mobilize everyone to build ships as soon as possible. On another note, I'll transport some clansmen to the islands through the Teleportation Array to establish settlements and construct ports capable of docking with sea ships. We'll tackle this from both ends to open up the route in the shortest possible time."

Pretty Girl furrowed her brows and said, "We will speed things up for sure, because I'm now increasingly understanding your concerns. Despite our best efforts to not spread the news about me becoming the Jiali City Lord, it's impossible to completely cover it up. More and more clanspeople are gathering towards Jiali City, especially since it has become known as a dedicated place for humans, and the two nearest main cities to Jiali City have seen a massive migration of human groups towards us. The total population is about to surpass one million. With such size, it's impossible not to attract the Ancestral Court's attention. We might have been too hasty."

Tang San sighed softly and said, "This is because our clansmen have suffered under the Monsters for too long. Now that they finally have you as their pillar, how can they hold back? Precisely for this reason, we need to consider their safety even more. Time is of the essence, the Ancestral Court won't act in the short term, they're waiting for your report. But once they do, it will likely cause great trouble, so we must accelerate the migration and ensure that all our clansmen capable of performing the Demon God Transformation join in the port construction. I will make some Array Discs for you to take back right now."

The Array Discs Tang San was going to make were unique to him and could only be crafted by him because he had to leave a mark of his divine consciousness in these discs. Only the Sea God's divine consciousness mark could best deter the Sea Clan.

With his increased cultivation base and the abundant overflow of his Spiritual Power, the conversion to divine consciousness had become much quicker than before. Had it been earlier, he wouldn't dare do this, as divine consciousness was too precious. But Tang San found that if he was in the range of the sea, with the aid of the power of faith, the speed of converting Spiritual Power to divine consciousness could be much faster.

The next step was to resolve the issue of the sea plague. As long as he could handle the sea plague, there was no doubt he would immediately gain the support of the Sea Clan. While it was not possible for the Sea Clan to worship him as a God with his current cultivation base, at the very least, it ensured that there would be no problem with the human migration to the Endless Blue Ocean.

Soon, Tang San had made two Array Discs and gave them to Pretty Girl, instructing her to place them on both sides of the port, submerged in seawater. Naturally, the discs would absorb the power of faith through his divine consciousness and emit the aura of the Sea God, ensuring that the nearby seas wouldn't be disturbed by the Sea Clan.

Tang San had to continue making such Array Discs for a simple reason: he needed to install them on future sea ships. With the presence of the discs, it would be as if he were on the ships himself.

In the following month, Tang San and Pretty Girl became extremely busy. Tang San found a secluded spot outside the human settlement near Jiali City and constructed the Teleportation Array, personally guarded by Wu Bingji, Gu Li, Cheng Zicheng, and Du Bai.

After consulting with Zhang Haoxuan, they began the secret transfer.

With Tang San's current cultivation base, such long-distance teleportation only allowed for a few dozen people at a time to be moved, and none with particularly high cultivation bases or strong personal energy.

Those taken first were deemed trustworthy, and it was confirmed they wouldn't be able to return to Demon Monster Land in the short term. They were also provided with some tools. They began to cultivate the islands on the other side, established a port, brought seeds, and started preparing for the migration.

Everything was done in secret.

But now, Tang San was not at God Rank, and even with Pretty Girl's cooperation, he could only perform three teleportations a day, moving around a hundred people. That was the limit; otherwise, it would overexert him.

In one month, roughly two thousand people had been relocated, including a hundred beings possessing the Demon God Transformation.

On the other side, the Sea Elephant Clan had also helped to a certain extent. The Sea Elephant Elder held Tang San in high regard; with the massive bodies of the Sea Elephant Clan, at least the construction of the port was much less labor-intensive for the people.

With a vanguard of two thousand people, Tang San stopped the teleportation. The first port near Jiali City was already taking shape, and the construction of sea ships had begun.

In this regard, both humans and the Monsters were lacking, since the Demon Monster Land never took to the sea. Tang San had no choice but to stay by the seaside to provide guidance, and he also joined in the construction, using his formidable strength to assist in shipbuilding.

Fortunately, the Demon Monster Land was rich in resources; the hard and extremely dense wood was the best material for building ships. With the help of many capable individuals, including God level strong people like Zhang Haoxuan, the speed of shipbuilding was quick. In just half a month, the first three-masted sailing ship had been constructed.

The ship was built, but knowing how to navigate it was equally a problem. Tang San had to once again personally take the lead and conduct training for the crew.

The intelligence and wisdom of humans were not lacking, and knowing how to navigate a three-masted sailing ship out to sea was not difficult. The challenge lied in dealing with storms, weather changes, and the attacks of sea beasts at sea. However, Tang San's Sea God Array Disc solved these problems.

Thus, merely operating a ship, a group of people quickly learned how to do so.

Ship construction continued, and Tang San didn't rush to transport the clansmen to the islands. Instead, he led the first batch of crew members he trained to the island.

They took turns at the helm under Tang San's guidance.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After a round trip, this first batch of a hundred crew members could basically complete the navigation.

With the assistance of the Sea God Array Disc, it took about two days to travel from the shore to Crescent Island and back. If there were capable individuals with wind-related Demon God Transformation abilities to assist, the speed could be even faster.

A three-masted sailing ship, not considering cargo transport and when fully loaded, could carry as many as five hundred people at once. That was the maximum capacity. That means it could transport five hundred people in about two days. Considering there was only one ship and the need to train more captains, and to leave spots for crew members practicing their navigation, the actual number of people that could be transported would be even less.

Even so, on the fourth month of Pretty Girl becoming the Jiali City Lord, the relocation of humans to overseas had quietly commenced.

It was during this time that Tang San received notification from the Elder of the Sea Elephant Clan that a sea plague had occurred.

Silver halos lit up on the island, and as the largest of the islands was shaped like a crescent moon, Tang San named it Crescent Island.

Apart from Crescent Island, many other islands in the archipelago were also suitable for human habitation. Tang San roughly estimated that together, the islands could comfortably accommodate a population of a million. Of course, this was under the premise that construction could keep up and sufficient resources were initially brought over from the mainland.
