Regarding the population migration, Chu Yun had long since consulted quite a few Emperor-level experts. It was like an outsider chess piece landing on a crowded board—if it wanted to claim even an inch of ground, it had to squeeze the other pieces aside. Only then would there be room for it.
This process was bound to be full of collisions and bloodshed, yet it was indispensable.
Under the pressure of survival, the potential of life could be excavated most fully. This was true of both humans and demon beasts.
Going through this process brought enormous benefits to both sides. Though some population and demon beasts would be lost, in the long run, the advantages would far outweigh the drawbacks.
The more than one hundred cities that had been relocated were not gathered in one place. Instead, Chu Yun had scattered them across the ends of the earth—over plains and mountains, even into the underground world.
Most of these cities had been isolated from one another. Even the closest were separated by several thousand li. Their locations had only been decided after careful investigation by Chu Yun and the Bliss Immortal Consorts.
The pressure from the demon beasts surrounding each city was generally maintained around the limit that city could bear.
However, accidents were inevitable during the adjustment period. Dunhuang Royal City had nearly failed to hold out, almost being breached by a beast tide. Chu Yun, who had been keeping watch all along, appeared in time and sent the Red-Robed Fairy to resolve the crisis.
Such accidents were far from rare during the adjustment process; they were even exceedingly frequent. Fortunately, the seventy-two Bliss Immortal Consorts were stationed throughout the land, helping Chu Yun maintain the balance. Otherwise, by himself, Chu Yun would certainly have been stretched too thin.
