A New Starting Point
Blue Silver Island, Western Sea Area.
In the once empty and desolate Sea Area, a barren and towering island suddenly appeared.
Although it is called an island, it is more like a rocky mountain formed by piles of rocks.
Throughout the island, scorching lava can be seen spewing out thick fog.
These lava flows down the terrain into the sea, where it is cooled by the seawater and quickly solidifies, continuously expanding the island's area.
This is the Volcanic Island formed by the eruption of underground magma that Quan Yi dredged a year ago.
In just one year, its area reached about five percent of Blue Silver Island. Although the proportion is small, the speed of expansion is exceptionally rapid.
At this moment, Quan Yi was leading Lan Yan and the Golden Jade Clan closer to the vicinity of the Volcanic Island.
As they came into view of the Volcano Archipelago, dozens of rows of black, fin-like spikes suddenly emerged from the calm sea.
Quan Yi stood atop the head of the leading Golden Jade Furnace Flame Turtle, unleashing his Dragon Might with the Scarlet Dragon Horns on his head.
Dragon Might's might swept across, these spikes revealed their true forms.
These are Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan. Upon noticing Quan Yi's imposing Dragon Might, they erupted in roars to welcome Quan Yi arrival.
Quan Yi pointed to the Sea Island not far away, then moved his fingertip to the Blue Silver Island in the opposite direction, and said to the two races behind him and above him, "In the future, you can live in this Sea Area."
There is ample food here, enough to sustain your Three Clans. More importantly, the island's volcanic resources are in no way inferior to those of the Volcano Archipelago, which will greatly benefit your cultivation.
The appearance of the Volcanic Island has made this Sea Area an excellent place for Fire-attribute Sea Soul Beast to survive.
The deep sea is rich in biological resources, but lacks Fire-attribute resources.
Regions rich in Fire-attribute resources lack other marine life.
However, this Sea Area met both of these conditions, so the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan not only did not grieve for being far from their homeland, but instead became somewhat reluctant to leave.
"No explanation is needed; both our races already understand the situation here."
On behalf of my entire tribe, I thank you for opening up a new living space for us.
On Quan Yi's shoulder lay a small, golden-green tortoise, which bowed its head to thank Quan Yi.
"Oh, you all knew all along?"
Quan Yi was somewhat surprised. At that moment, a calm voice came from Huo Wu beside him.
"Of course, the Old Turtle, the Little Lion, and I all came here specifically to visit the sea lizard clan."
Moreover, it happened more than once.
"If we hadn't witnessed the current state of the marine lizards firsthand, we might not have made that decision so quickly."
The speaker was not Huo Wu, but Misty Smoke King, who was squatting on top of Huo Wu's fluffy, wavy hair.
The departure of the sea lizard clan will inevitably arouse the curiosity of the Three Clans.
However, when they discovered that the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard, which they thought would weaken due to the departure of the Flame Dragon King, were actually doing better than before, it was impossible for the other Three Clans not to feel any change in their hearts.
At least, this matter can alleviate their worries.
Especially after learning that it was Quan Yi detonated the underground volcano, creating the Volcanic Island in the deep sea, Quan Yi's status in their hearts was infinitely elevated.
For them, oceans, Volcanic Island are their habitats, and to be able to create a volcanic Quan Yi of thin air is no different from being a god.
The expectations of individuals and groups can be fulfilled by Quan Yi, which is the fundamental reason why they ultimately Sacrifice to Quan Yi.
"Now that we are one family, your survival is our survival, and we have an obligation to be responsible for your people."
Moreover, with your presence, the security of Blue Silver Island will greatly increase, making it a win-win situation.
The appearance of the Volcanic Island completely changed Quan Yi's expectations.
The sea hyenas, and even the other Three Clans, have taken note of the future development trends of the Volcanic Island.
Compared to the original Volcano Archipelago, the environment here is clearly more suitable for their development.
This makes them more willing to live in this area.
Quan Yi was naturally pleased with this change, as he believed that if the Three Clans could be drawn to the area around the Sea Island, they too could benefit from it.
Just like the relationship between Xiao Bai's Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan and the forces of Sea God Island, humans and Soul Beast can also coexist peacefully and help each other.
Once the seabed of Blue Silver Island is covered with large areas of Blue Silver Seaweed again, it will inevitably revive abundant biological resources, which may attract even more Sea Soul Beast.
This could pose a security risk to the Sea Area surrounding the Sea Island, but if Three Clans are able to take on the responsibility of protecting the island, the danger will increase significantly.
The potential dangers of Blue Silver Island, through Quan Yi's transformation, have become new opportunities.
Quan Yi and his Quan Family cleverly seized this opportunity.
After settling the two tribes, Quan Yi rode the Scarlet Dragon and headed to Blue Silver Island.
From a bird's-eye view, more than half of the land is covered by lush vegetation.
That once barren land has been revitalized through the efforts of countless people.
According to Quan Li, last year the Quan Family's grain production not only met the needs of 200,000 people for self-sufficiency, but also had a large surplus.
This is only the first year's output. This year, they have cultivated more land and a wider variety of crops, including not only grains but also various cash crops.
Based on the growth of the crops, this year may be another bumper harvest.
This is only at the agricultural level. In terms of industry, Blue Silver Island has mined its first batch of iron ore and has begun to achieve self-sufficiency in industry.
This year, the Quan Family began sending Blacksmith from Vast Sea City to Blue Silver Island in batches.
Secret equipment such as agricultural machinery, steel ships, and weapons also began to be produced on Blue Silver Island.
This not only greatly reduces the risk of leaks, but also lowers production costs.
This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
As things have developed, the power of the Quan Family has exceeded the normal concept of a family.
However, they remained low-key and quietly accumulated strength.
Starting this year, the Quan Family's new strongholds in the Star Luo Empire have begun to absorb the population of the Star Luo Empire.
Several years later, the number of people the Quan Family can control will double.
However, this population size is far from the limit for the Quan Family.
Although the Quan Family, which adheres to a low profile, cannot achieve faster expansion, there are advantages to being slow.
At the very least, they can effectively control the existing population and steadily increase the people's acceptance of the Quan Family.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer scale of the grain supply alone is enough to stabilize public morale. Moreover, the Quan Family's distribution system is far fairer than the existing system in the Douluo Continent.
In the future, once everyone adapts to the leadership of the Quan Family, they will unleash an even more vigorous vitality.
At this moment, Blue Silver Island is just a tiny spark, but when the time is right, even a small spark can start a prairie fire.
Looking down at the ground from high above, Quan Yi felt a surge of pride.
"This is a new starting point for our Quan Family, and it will also be a new starting point for the whole world in the future."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu, Quan Li, and many other Soul Spirit were all inspired by Quan Yi's soaring spirit, but at this moment they still could not fully grasp the deeper meaning of his words.
