Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1410 - 1: Ascension Resurgence, Tribulation Crossing by Boundary Boat, Desolate Domain Phenomenon!

"So fast? You wouldn't have your subordinates engage in some sacrificial flow to speed up, right?" Zhao Xing jokingly said, "The court is strictly investigating such malicious competition now, so you absolutely must not commit such acts."

"How could I?" Yue Lingzhi hurriedly replied, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I haven't used such unscrupulous methods for a long time. If you don't believe me, you can ask 'Lord Nie.'"

Zhao Xing actually went ahead and asked.

He arrived at a devine temple, where stood the Divine Statue of the previous Chief Engineer, Nie Xionying.

The matter of ascension isn't just for those in the Yang Realm; Yin Gods of the Yin Realm also need to contribute.

Because the Boundary Boat is going to build a Yin Chamber, transferring Yin Gods into it.

Once ascended, they will find an opportunity for revival.

This is why it is closely related to the interests of Yin Gods.

"Yue Lingzhi? That kid has decent strength and is quite diligent, but he's still a bit sly." Nie Xionying said, "He hasn't had people below use Blood Refining Flow, but he's done plenty of overtime."

"He considers overtime as an important basis for promotion and often poaches people from other departments within the Ministry of Industry. Whoever is willing to work overtime and performs well, he persistently persuades to join his Seventh Realm Department."

"His benefits here are indeed the best because His Majesty values the legal core chamber, and he really dug up quite a few people to come here."

"However, there are not a few people impeaching Yue Lingzhi; colleagues all wish to beat him up. Recently, some even used little ghosts to retaliate against him..."

Zhao Xing was taken aback: "Such things happened?"

Nie Xionying said, "Yue Lingzhi knows he's at fault and asked me not to report it. I saw that no one wanted to cause trouble, they just wanted to teach him a lesson, so I only fined a bit of money... if you ask me, that kid is really detestable, it's no wonder people hit him with sneak attacks."

Zhao Xing chuckled helplessly; even ghosts couldn't stand it, which shows how much Yue Lingzhi is hated.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him make any mistakes."

"Rest assured." Nie Xionying puffed on a stick of incense. "Everything is under my watch."

...

Dragon Court Ancient Land, Fuming Temple.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A group of gigantic dragons, burdened with chains, were pulling a gigantic mountain, moving it to the center of the sea of fire.

Their roars were rhythmic, and the mountain was gradually being moved to the designated position.

"Unlock, retreat!"

Hog growled.

"Swish~"

The group of dragons quickly unchained themselves.

"Boom!"

The mountain fell into the center of the sea of fire.

The dragons swiftly swam away, leaving the sea of fire.

"Activate the southern sector of the Fu Ming Array!" Hog roared.

With his command, the Li Fire in the south flared up immediately.

"Activate the northern sector of the Fu Ming Array!"

"Activate the western sector of the Fu Ming Array!"

"Activate the eastern sector of the Fu Ming Array!"

...

On all four sides of the sea of fire, there were furnaces burning red, and they erupted with raging flames at this moment.

The mountain was scorched red, bit by bit melting away.

"Clatter!"

A clump of red essence fell from the base of the mountain, soon landing into a small furnace at the center.

The flames inside the small furnace formed a dragon shape, and when the red essence entered, it immediately opened its eyes, swallowed it, and began the Second Layer refining.

"Your Majesty, this here is the grand furnace site of the Fuming Temple." Yin Xiu accompanied Zhao Xing by his side, overlooking from high above. "Starting from one hundred and thirty years ago, it commenced the smelting of the outer shell materials for the Boundary Boat, and has now refined eighty percent of the materials needed for the entire Boundary Boat."

Zhao Xing nodded in satisfaction, the materials needed for the Boundary Boat, just in terms of quantity, the Dragon Court took up half!

Because he had collected many things left by previous Dragon Emperors, since powerful figures among the Dragon Clan had returned before, so there were very many usable materials here, some even readily usable.

"Yin Xiu, I trust in your handling of affairs." Zhao Xing first affirmed Yin Xiu's work. "But the purpose of my visit this time is not just to inspect the project."

"How's the survey of willingness going?"

Yin Xiu pondered: "Dragon Emperor, after my years of investigation, three-tenths of the Dragon Clan do not wish to leave, and two-tenths of the Dragon Clan are indifferent to leaving." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Zhao Xing nodded, not everyone is willing to venture into unknown cosmos; intelligent life has the desire for exploration and knowledge, but also the nature to seek benefit and avoid harm, otherwise, Wu Yue God's theories wouldn't have a market.

Even though he, as the Dragon Emperor, has given a definitive answer about finding a living path for them, there are still many dragons unwilling to leave their homes.

This survey isn't just a superficial work, it was done using the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Method, meaning these are true thoughts.

Of course, the proportion isn't large, and with time and promotion, thoughts will change.

"Dragon Emperor, let me, Yin Li say, do they really have the option whether they want to leave or not?" Yin Li spoke sternly: "They are ignorant and don't understand now, but they will understand once they've gone out."

Zhao Xing did not express an opinion, just observed other projects, and then returned to Great Zhou.

...

Great Zhou, Tianyong State, Fengjing.

"Your Majesty, just like the Human Clan, there are many among the Dragon Clan whose true inner thoughts are that they are unwilling to leave." Zhao Xing said.

"Though this proportion will decrease each year, I foresee that at the time of true ascension, such people will still make up a portion."

Ji Che pondered: "What does the Grand Minister of Agriculture think we should do?"

Zhao Xing replied: "I only state facts without offering opinions. The Xuanhuang Realm Boat cannot take everyone. According to my calculations, we can only carry up to seventy percent of the people."

Seventy percent, barely accommodates those who want to leave and those who are hesitating.

Ji Che sighed: "So, if we ultimately don't return, history will inevitably repeat itself."
