Chapter 900: Vol V Chapter 260

Sui Xiong was unaware of all the trouble plaguing Javier as he himself was busy.

After he had bidden farewell to Javier, who had failed in being a messenger and had left regretfully, Sui Xiong decided to do something big.

For starters, he wanted to move Rye Fortress, which he had recently completed, from its original spot in the south of Rye City to somewhere further south.

This fortress was originally meant to guard Rye Canyon, but this canyon had already joined the Republic, causing the fortress to lose its purpose. Sui Xiong thus decided to move it further south to kill two birds with one stone by allowing to become a topic of interest with its unique infrastructure while using it as a central building for refugees to use as a safe zone.

He was not too worried about the Republic of Northwest’s safety as the upcoming war between the humans and the orcs would mostly take place at the northeastern part of the mainland of the Orc Empire and the God of Light Kingdom. At the most, it would include the Eagle Kingdom’s fortress group in the North, but it would not affect any other land.

This battle was thus of little concern to the Republic of Northwest.

Of course, to ensure safety, once the war had started, Sui Xiong would still increase the control and restrictions of trade in the Republic. Any military personnel or deliverymen would not be able to enter the Republic to allow the Republic to remain neutral.

Since Sui Xiong had already decided to take on a neutral stance, he would not tolerate any action that skewed the war in the humans’ or Orcs’ favor. He had already made up his mind to solely play the role of saving lives in this war.

Sui Xiong was only prepared to stop slaughter and provide aid to refugees. That was all.

Now Sui Xiong needed to make preparations for these refugees.

He did not plan to install the refugee shelters in either Void Mask City or the Republic of Northwest. Although he was not a real estate or urban planning student, he had seen many pieces of news on Earth regarding the issue of refugees causing trouble. Cases like these were plentiful. If he gathered all the newspapers that reported on refugee crises and flattened them into sheets before stacking them up, they could easily squash his body flat!

Sui Xiong thus decided to specially create a city for the refugees to live in. This would allow him to have better control over them and in doing so, save himself much trouble.

“This is a decent spot.” Sui Xiong quickly reached his destination by flight and surveyed the patch of rural land. Seeing the vast emptiness and plain land, he nodded with satisfaction.

In an instant, his body size increased exponentially and he became the size of a beast that was big enough to block out the sun. He grew several tentacles which were the size of large shields and blocked out the entire piece of land.

Next, he used his multiple, thin tentacles to access the land. These tentacles were thin like needles and they quickly changed color and shape when they touched the ground. After a while, they became infinite numbers of white, straight rods that created a fence for this vast land.

Sui Xiong’s body vibrated and all these tentacles which had become rods detached fully from his body. He then reached out with new tentacles and started sprinkling raindrops down this time.

With the fall of rain, the straight rods that had evolved from the tentacles quickly sprouted into countless shoots, and one could clearly witness their accelerated growth. Within a short period of time, they became vines that wrapped themselves around the straight rods, creating a green wall that was solid and secure.

This giant green wall surrounded the entire land.

“In the past, if Emperor Qin Shihuang had had a man like me as his mason, it would have been so much easier to complete the Great Wall of China. He wouldn’t even need to make Meng Jiannian cry…” Sui Xiong mused randomly to himself in amusement as he created this “green city” within a few minutes’ time. He then nodded to himself in a satisfied fashion.

Afterwards, Sui Xiong engraved several ditches within this surrounded green city and used the ditches as boundary lines. The land was thus divided into several cities of differing sizes. Within each city, rows and rows of simple shacks were built, just like how he had seen construction being done back on Earth.

Once the shacks were completed, he then proceeded to create facilities such as bathing pools and toilets. Sui Xiong was clear that this place where refugees gathered had to be hygienic to prevent illnesses from spreading and wiping out the entire population.

Although the God of Plague had subtly showed support for Sui Xiong and indicated that he would follow Sui Xiong’s orders, even the God of Plague was unable to fully prevent plagues from spreading.

It was thus pertinent that Sui Xiong made the necessary preparations first.

After Sui Xiong had finished the main infrastructure of the land, he began to organize the farms.

In actuality, it was not necessary for the refugees to farm their own food as Sui Xiong was able to provide food resources for them with ease given his powers.

However, Sui Xiong had learned before that refugees would be able to flourish best when they had work to pass their time with. If the refugees were allowed to slack and relax with nothing to do, it was likely that they would engage in crime or undesirable behavior. If he could spend their energy on proper tasks, they would be more at peace with labor.

Amongst all possible forms of labor, farming was the most calming one. This was the Goddess of Joy’s theory, and Sui Xiong felt that it was rather true.

A few days later, the farm was complete as well.

This was how this land that was previously empty and untended became a haven on Earth that was surrounded by the green wall.

Perhaps to other people, it may not quite be a haven as there were not a lot of facilities. However, to those who were on the run or had to leave their homes due to war, it was definitely akin to a haven.

After completing all the construction, Sui Xiong lay on the black roof of the black fortress, which was strong enough to resist meteorites, and gazed at the sky leisurely.

Sui Xiong had previously gained control over the War Realm, and thus he could clearly see the giant battle cloud that hung over the entire Main Plane. That was a sign that a large-scale war was about to take place.

“With such a battle, there will definitely be many deaths…”

This giant jellyfish sighed deeply and shook his head. “If everyone were to cooperate and work together, they would be able to live happy lives in peace. Why do they have to fight instead, and engage in a big battle at that!”

“Well, it can’t be helped now. Since the humans insist on it, the humans and Orcs will just have to battle it out,” The current Emperor of Orcs, “Iron Teeth” Ilo glanced at the east side of the sky, and a broad smile appeared on his scarred face. “Ever since the previous war till now, it’s been quite long. Let us Orcs raise our fists in unison and defeat them squarely once more!”

In the sky above him, the various Orc gods who were invisible observed the floating battle cloud somberly.

“Perhaps this will be the last battle to ever take place between us orcs and the humans,” the Orcs’ Master God, Lefon spoke up lightly. “After tens of thousands of years of hatred, it’s time for us to finally put a proper end to this conflict.”

The previous Master God, Snakenell, nodded lightly. His eyes flashed with evil and intensity. “In the last few years, we have made several preparations just for this battle, just for this day. If we don’t fight this well, all that effort will go to waste for sure.”

Lefon smiled slightly back in return. “You’re right. We shouldn’t waste all the energy that we have already spent. Let’s fight this battle well!”

Meanwhile, in the God Kingdom of the Human God System, hundreds of gods had already gathered. These gods were all humans by nature, and there was a large variety of them. Some were good, some were evil. There were those like the God of Vagrants and the God of Protection, who had always been staying with the Human God System, and there were also others such as the God of Celebration and Pleasure and the God of Family who had ventured out to create their own name.

Regardless of their paths, once there was the call to gather on account of the big battle that would determine the human race’s fate, other than a few gods that were direct followers of Sui Xiong as well as those who did not support the manifestation of an actual battle like the God of Justice, nearly every other human-based god was gathered here.

They stood in a neat phalanx and were silent and somber, waiting for the orders that would come from the Master of Humans.

The God of Light had his eyes shut and was sitting upright on his throne, biding his time patiently.

Once the God of Diplomacy had announced that it was time, the God of Light finally opened his eyes. His eyes were wide like saucers, and he cast a sweeping glance across all the gods present.

Under his intense gaze, the gods all subconsciously felt the desire for blood rise within them.

“The stars have aligned into a suitable position that favors us,” the God of Light said slowly. “In the near future, it is the most opportune time for us humans to fight a war with the Orcs.”

“In the past, we humans have fought countless wars and fought to get us to the comfortable position that we are in today. However, that is not enough.”

“Only with us defeating our ultimate enemy and completing a full unification can we label our overall mission a completed success!”

With that, the God of Light stood up, brandished his sword and raised it at the sky. “Let us take this chance and use this battle to create what rightfully belongs to us humans. Let us achieve world domination!”
