Chapter 505 - 505 The Return of the Phoenix
505 The Return of the Phoenix
As the Kingdom of Dawn expanded, so did the Starlight Canopy. Since the Starlight Canopy Pearl had been integrated into the Lord’s Cornerstone of the Kingdom of Dawn, it had also been upgraded by two ranks, from Holy Light Rank 1 to Holy Light Rank 3.
It increased the defense area, and its defensive power also became stronger.
Outside the country, the Black Tide was rampaging. There was strange and evil Black Tide fog everywhere, and it was so dark that one couldn’t even see their fingers.
However, within the country, it was peaceful and stable.
Time passed quietly, and there were only nine days left before the end of the Black Tide.
The Kingdom of Dawn was bustling with activity.
Due to the expansion of the country’s territory, too many people had begun to migrate and fill up other cities, so all the teleportation arrays were unusually busy.
Countless people brought their families and belongings to the new city.
To them, the new city was utterly unfamiliar. They would be unwilling to leave their homes and go to a strange city to work if it were not necessary.
However, under highly favorable policies, they still packed up and went to a new city.
To fill up the 1000 different cities, Li Xiang had to rack his brains.
There were only about 500 million people, so each city could accommodate 330000 people on average.
However, some large cities, such as rank six or rank seven cities, could accommodate more than a million people. For example, the main city, City of Dawn, could accommodate ten million people. As such, the city’s population was somewhat insufficient.
Moreover, even though the Kingdom of Dawn offered extremely favorable policies such as interest-free loans and real estate, many people were still unwilling to move to other cities.
Therefore, the population of the 1000 newly built cities was only about 100000 on average.
The smaller ones had a population of less than 100000.
Li Xiang also had a headache over this matter. Even if he sent out the void fleet to find the Human race scattered all over the Myriad World Continent, he would not be able to bring them back if there were too many of them. If there were too few, it would be like a drop in the ocean.
After the 300,000-plus people had eaten the spiritual rice porridge and the fierce beast soup, their strength and vitality rapidly recovered. They gained a better understanding of the Kingdom of Dawn through their conversation.
After learning that all the people in the Kingdom of Dawn were Transcendents, they were shocked and speechless.
But after learning that as long as one became an official citizen, they would be able to obtain an identity card and receive cultivation techniques and combat skills, everyone cheered.
Joining the Kingdom of Dawn was something they didn’t even dare to think about in the past, but now it had suddenly come true.
However, 300,000 citizens were still too few for the Kingdom of Dawn. They could only fill three cities at most. Right now, at least a few hundred cities were seriously lacking in population.
For the moment, this was all he could do.
In addition to working, these people became more diligent in their cultivation. Some even forgot to eat and sleep when cultivating, and they were highly crazy.
Many people had tragic experiences, so they had an almost perverted obsession with strength. No one would waste such an opportunity to change their fate, and they all tried to find ways to set foot on the path of transcendence.
Only after experiencing death would one understand the importance of strength.
Many commoners chose to join the army and become warriors. Their growth would be even faster.
“Chirp…”
Suddenly, a high-pitched bird cry came from the sky.
A golden-red figure could be seen rapidly approaching from the distant sky.
When the figure spread its wings, it was more than a hundred meters long, covering the sky and the sun. A scorching aura surged over, emitting intense pressure.
It looked down at the City of Dawn with its sharp eyes.
Countless citizens in the city felt their bodies burning up, and a sense of fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.
“Qing Ying, this guy has had enough fun outside. It’s finally back!”
Li Xiang looked up at the sky and smiled.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
After the battle with the Wind Pterosaur King, it dealt with the hundreds of Floating Warships brought by the three-eyed race. After that, its rank and strength skyrocketed, and it became a demigod, condensing the Phoenix Golden Flame.
However, it didn’t return after that. It only commanded many ferocious birds to help defend the city while it ran off to who knew where.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t worried for the past few days.
Now that he had seen the Phoenix return, he was secretly surprised.
After the breakthrough, the Phoenix Qing Ying began to possess the divine spiritual energy of its ancestors.
Its aura was fierce, and its spirit was extraordinary.
The potent bloodline suppression made all the ferocious birds in the sky silent. Even the beasts on the ground trembled and hid in their nests, not daring to show up.
“A Phoenix! It’s the Country Lord’s mythical beast, the Phoenix. It was fighting with the Wind Pterosaur King and even helped to defend the city. However, it disappeared after that!”
“It’s too beautiful and too powerful. With the Phoenix protecting the sky of the Kingdom of Dawn, even the top-rank ferocious birds won’t dare to approach us, let alone ordinary ferocious birds. In this way, we’ll be even safer here, and we won’t have to worry about the ferocious birds in the sky posing any threat to us.”
When the people in the city saw the phoenix, they were all overjoyed.
Although the Phoenix’s shadow was mighty and made everyone feel hot, it was not life-threatening. Instead, they felt very close to it.
The Kingdom of Dawn had the Phoenix, which significantly reduced the danger in the sky. Anyone who dared to approach would be burned to ashes. Now that the Phoenix had become a mythical beast, its deterrent force would be even more terrifying. As long as they sensed the aura of the Phoenix, they would be hiding far away.
The return of the Phoenix made everyone feel that the sky was safe, and they all smiled happily.
The hundreds of thousands of people who had just arrived in the Kingdom of Dawn were even more shocked when they saw the giant Phoenix, their eyes were filled with surprise and excitement, and they were filled with confidence in the Kingdom of Dawn.
The stability of the people’s hearts was the fortune of the country.
Chirp… chirp… chirp…
Qing Ying descended from the sky and landed on an arrow tower.
The vast wings swept the golden-red flames and created strong winds. Many of the nearby civilians couldn’t stand it and retreated.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Qing Ying knew its flames were too powerful, so it restrained its power to not hurt the people.
Otherwise, flapping its wings could burn everything in the vicinity, including the buildings, into ashes.
The power was too terrifying. The huge sharp claws could instantly crush a huge beast into meat paste, let alone an adult. Its eyes were as sharp as a sword, and looking at it would make one feel a stabbing pain.
