After the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance was established, the Central Plains Merchant Alliance was directly merged into it. On the very day of its founding, tens of thousands of Holy Lords and seventy-two Dao Lords quietly joined the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance, safeguarding and supporting it.
Like the Central Plains Merchant Alliance, the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance appeared to be a commercial organization, but it was actually a commercial and military organization belonging solely to Song Ankang. It could earn wealth and resources for Song Ankang while also meeting his various military needs.
From the moment it was established, the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance became the most powerful force on Xuanhuang Continent—without question—although it had not yet been revealed to the public.
With the support of the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance, Huaxia Avenue was being constructed at an astonishing pace, with more than a hundred li completed each day on average. And this was only the beginning.
Later, Song Ankang planned to bring out some of Yuanxia Federation's technology and invest even more manpower and material resources. By then, let alone a hundred li per day, even ten thousand li per day would not be much.
Moreover, multiple sections would be built simultaneously in the future. After all, this was an expressway stretching tens of quadrillions of kilometers. Even at such speed, no one knew how long it would take to complete.
However, this expressway would open in sections, and it would soon begin bringing Song Ankang income.
With the massive Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance providing protection, virtually no force would dare sabotage this road. Furthermore, the road was protected by a Dao Array Cluster. One could murder and set fires upon the road, but one could not damage it—and anyone who did murder or commit arson would be held accountable by the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance.
