An Unprecedented Feat
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On God's Island, behind the Imperial Palace City, in Caesar's underground research lab, several people appeared, with Ye Chen leading the way.
"Caesar, we can begin the experiment."
With a serious expression, Ye Chen looked at the light screen in front of him. Caesar, Judge, and others stood to the side, along with a large group of scientists, each of them filled with excitement.
"Boss, why don't you press this button?"
Caesar handed Ye Chen a red button, his face full of smugness.
"Enel, go outside and take a look." Taking the button, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Alright!" With a flash of lightning, Enel vanished from his spot.
At the same time, Ye Chen pressed the red button, and slowly it began. The earth shook violently, and the entire country trembled as if an earthquake had struck.
The country's residents showed no panic, because Reiju had previously instructed the soldiers to post notices in various towns explaining the reason.
You could even see the excitement and disbelief on their faces.
Standing in the research lab, Ye Chen's Observation Haki radiated rapidly like ripples on water, allowing him to clearly sense the movement of the nation.
At the same time, Enel appeared on the screen; judging from his appearance, he should be on the edge of the country.
"Boss, it's moving! The country is slowly moving."
Enel's voice was also filled with disbelief. You have to understand, the entire Sky Island is about the size of a large island, and if you include the White Sea, it's even a super-large area.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to move a nearly large island, even if the island itself is floating in the air; the thrust would still be unimaginable.
"That's incredible!"
Luo, Bege, and Tesoro were also in the research lab, watching this scene with awe.
Two weeks ago, Caesar did announce that the national floating project had entered its final stage. However, seeing is believing, and once it actually happened, it still had a significant impact.
"Bss, the country is floating, and Judge and I studied shock absorption and differentiation."
"Alright, no need to explain anymore. This is your area of expertise." Seeing Caesar about to launch into another incessant boasting, Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him, then turned to look at everyone with a very serious expression.
"Caesar, Judge, and all of you, you have done a great service this time. Whatever reward you want, just go to Reiju and Kalifa and I will grant it to you."
The fact that a country can be moved is of great significance, both now and in the long term. At this moment, Ye Chen had already considered many possibilities.
"Oh!"
Ye Chen's promise drew cheers from the participating scientists.
"Go and instruct Reiju and Kalifa, from this day forward, the entire nation shall celebrate for a week; and all citizens shall be exempt from taxes for three years."
"Yes, boss."
Bege's eyes lit up; it seemed as if the country had never held such a special day since its founding.
"Crack!"
Lightning coalesced, Enel appeared, his face slightly flushed.
"Boss, the country can be moved now. Shall we proceed with the next step of the plan?"
"No rush, the New World will take a little longer to move. From now on, everyone rest and get ready for a celebration!"
With a smile playing on his lips, Ye Chen acted impulsively for the first time.
At the same time, Ye Chen's orders began to spread throughout the country.
"His Majesty decrees: From this day forward, during national celebrations, taxes will be waived for three years."
Notices were posted, and video screens lit up squares, spreading throughout the country.
At that moment, the whole country cheered, and everyone began to decorate with lanterns and colorful streamers and set up banquets.
These seven days, because of their great significance, were hailed as national holidays, and when all the residents learned that the country was flying, they felt as if it were a fantasy.
Meanwhile, in the back garden of the Imperial Palace City, the princess was playing with a polar bear when she suddenly heard a huge cheer coming from below. Startled, she opened her big, dark eyes and stood up.
Listen attentively.
The girl had always lived in the palace and was always curious about the outside world. She had been outside before, but those memories were now hazy.
"Bepo, what's that outside? Why do I hear so many people laughing?"
The pretty boy looked at the large polar bear in front of him, tilting his head slightly.
"Is there?"
Bepo scratched his head. He hadn't heard anything. In the two months since arriving on Sky Island, he had made a new friend, the guy in front of him.
And then, they had a leader, that's right, it was Bai Doudou.
During this period, many unpleasant things also happened.
Most importantly, Bepo now idolizes Bai Doudou even more because he believes Bai Doudou's boasts!
"I clearly heard it! Why don't we go out and play?" The girl's dark eyes sparkled with longing.
"We can't get out of here." Bepo shrank back, knowing that there were many soldiers outside the Imperial Palace City, and his captain had told him not to take the princess out without permission.
Upon hearing that Bepo couldn't make it, the girl's excited expression immediately turned somber.
From childhood, her understanding of the outside world was vague, and she had never seen her mother. These two things were the things a two-and-a-half-year-old most wanted to see and know.
But his father wouldn't let him go out to play, and he wouldn't tell his mother about it either. This made the boy throw a tantrum, but he forgave Ye Chen after Ye Chen tried to appease him.
To be honest, Ye Chen still lacks experience; being a single father is not easy!
"Okay!" Listless, the guy walked into the pavilion, lay down on the stone table, pouting, his face clearly showing he was unhappy. But a closer look would reveal that he had been listening intently to the sounds outside.
Seeing that the girl was unhappy, Bepo lay down on the opposite side as if listening to something, but he didn't have the talent for listening, so he didn't hear anything.
"I hate Daddy the most!" the boy muttered, a hint of resentment in his voice, before letting out a soft snort.
Across from him, Bepo tilted his big white head, his paws under his chin, looking like a child, and asked, "The boss is very powerful, why do you hate him, Princess?"
"Hmph, he won't let me go out to play, he won't play with me, he won't let me eat snacks, he won't tell me about my mom, and he won't let my master, Kalifa, Reiju, or Uncle Enel tell me. Dad is the worst."
"I don't like my dad, I hate him the most."
He lay on the stone table, his feet swinging back and forth, quite self-righteously.
"No, I see that the boss will play with you whenever he has time!"
"Anyway, he's only staying with me for a little while, and then he goes to cultivate. I hate him the most, I hate him the most! Bad dad, stinky dad, I'm never talking to him again."
Silently, Ye Chen stood beside the bear and the child, twitched his lips, and then his expression softened.
He heard everything that guy said.
Going outside to play used to be about age, but now he's only two and a half. Even though in this world, a two-year-old is a year older than in his previous life, he's still a child.
Perhaps I shouldn't restrict her anymore.
As for Hina's situation, Ye Chen didn't dare tell her the truth, so he kept it a secret. But this couldn't go on forever, since children eventually have to grow up.
First, aside from cultivation, Ye Chen 'Ye Chen mind was entirely on the girl, with all sorts of wild thoughts occupying his mind and body.
How should we educate her? How should we care for her? How can we ensure she's happy every day?
All of these were trivial matters. Ye Chen even thought about who would marry his daughter in the future, and the thought made his face darken.
