The effects of the newly arrived Great Xia compatriots were almost immediately apparent.
Perhaps their fighting skills, or something else, are not particularly outstanding.
But their thoughts are closest to Lu Li's.
This will allow the Dao Court's resources to be utilized to the fullest extent.
In just a few days, the Ink Octopus Clan's territory had practically become a garrison base for the Dao Court.
The original training ground for the clan was converted into a temporary resource distribution center.
The various spiritual materials were neatly arranged and categorized.
Primordial Beginning scans and registers all incoming and outgoing goods, with no errors or omissions.
The exploration team re-surveyed the abandoned mine shafts and even the fish farms, marking out several previously overlooked areas.
On the same day, excavation rigs were deployed to begin mining operations.
The governance efficiency of the Sea Race Demon Race was equally astonishing.
Primordial Beginning attempted to construct and analyze the meanings of the languages of low-level Demon Race and Sea Race.
A complete low-level Sea Race language pack has been distributed.
The Great Xia members assigned to the Ten Thousand Spirits Division immediately settled in various tribes.
The registers are created according to three categories: able-bodied adults serving in the labor service, the elderly and infirm left behind, and young children enrolled in school.
Those who are registered will be given a daily food ration.
Those who exceed their assigned labor quota will receive additional contribution points as a reward.
In just three days, the Sea Race prisoners who had been complaining began to behave themselves.
Some young marine mammals even volunteered to participate in the domestication selection process.
He also wants to join the Dao Court.
Looking at this group of suddenly appearing intelligent puppets.
The first to be surprised were naturally Elder Jian and the others.
They had never seen such a bright disciple.
Especially after realizing that these puppets contained different souls.
That was even more horrifying.
Li Nanci was the first to notice something was wrong.
Standing on the deck of a French warship.
Below, several newly arrived puppets were pointing and gesturing at a malfunctioning Spirit Machinery Law Artifact.
It wasn't dismantling, it wasn't repairing, it was actually creating a magical light barrier.
A 3D disassembly diagram was drawn in mid-air, labeled layer by layer, with tasks divided and collaborated.
In less than half an hour, the Spirit Machinery Law Artifact hummed and lit up again.
Li Nanci's eyebrows twitched as he watched.
The craftsmanship of this group was second to none, even within the Artifact Manufacturing Division.
"These people..."
"They don't seem like cultivators, but rather like weapon refiners who are proficient in their respective fields."
The other high-ranking officials of the Dao Court were also surprised.
Lu Changye leaned closer.
His gaze fell on the numbers on the chests of the puppets.
"They even know the demon language; I haven't even finished reading the language pack that was just released by the Primordial Beginning."
"It's not 'knowing,'" Lu Changming shook his head, "it's 'knowing how to use it.'"
"They further optimized the Demon Race language compiled by Primordial Beginning."
"It was made into an external sound-emitting magical Law Artifact, embedded in the puppet's Talisman Inscription, for real-time translation."
"As long as there are related words, it can automatically respond to the other party."
"This line of thinking was neither taught in Dao Court nor seen before."
Lu Changming's words caused everyone to gasp in shock.
It's obvious.
The behavior and intelligence of the people of Great Xia exceeded their expectations.
Even Jiang Wuxie, clutching his blood-stained blade, leaned against a pillar, rarely speaking.
"I asked someone where they used to practice their spirituality. He said..."
He paused, his tone odd, "'What Dragon Abyss Academy? Isn't the Dao Propagation Division called the Hidden Dragon Academy?'"
" Dragon Abyss University?"
Ye Chenfeng looked up.
No one answered.
Everyone's gaze turned in unison towards Lu Li's location.
Regarding this sudden increase in intelligent puppets.
Lu Li didn't offer much explanation.
They only said they were their own people, the core members of the Dao Court.
They also said that as we work together longer, we'll naturally become familiar with each other.
Faced with this conclusion, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and did not dare to ask any further questions.
But when looking at these busy puppets, his gaze became more solemn.
They could tell that the souls within these puppets were all extraordinary.
I just can't guess where it came from.
No, one person probably guessed what it was.
It huddled inside Ye Chenfeng's Dantian.
Elder Jian's heart trembled violently.
After seeing these strangely behaving sentient puppets.
A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"This person... seems more like a disciple of the Dao Court Dao Court."
"No, it should be said that they are the kind of disciples that the Dao Court wants to cultivate."
"Such a large number of souls, and such talent... could these people be from the same hometown as Senior Lu?"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Elder Jian was almost startled.
He didn't dare tell Ye Chenfeng, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
Because if his guess is true.
These intelligent puppets are indeed from Lu Li's hometown.
Now that only his soul resides within the puppet, it means that Senior Lu's hometown has suffered a disaster.
Even Senior Lu's descent to the mortal realm was related to this disaster.
Elder Jian dared not imagine what kind of disaster might have occurred in the Upper Realm that would have caused Senior Lu and his fellow villagers to be stranded here.
Such a shocking secret must be intertwined with endless causes and effects.
This made him afraid to speak out, and also afraid to investigate further.
Meanwhile, the front lines were ablaze with activity.
Behind the Dao Court, the entire Western Continent was completely engulfed in the war in the Western Sea.
From Litian Prefecture, from Litian Prefecture City, to Jingxi Prefecture.
Throughout the entire Western Continent, Demon Beast, magical boats, and cultivators were gathering and rushing to the front lines.
All personnel in the two prefectures were mobilized.
From the Litian Prefecture City became the largest command and control center behind the Dao Court.
Within Litian Prefecture City, the towers of the eleven government offices shone brightly with spiritual light.
Inside the Heavenly Pivot Division, the Primordial Beginning branch was operating at full capacity, its light curtain cascading like a waterfall.
The location and progress of each department are updated in real time.
The Spirit Source Division's transport ships operate day and night.
Boxes of Spirit Stone, pills, and Law Artifact were neatly stacked and disappeared into the horizon.
The Dao Propagation Division urgently mobilized teachers and students from the Hidden Dragon Academy.
They were dispatched to the Western Sea with the army to replenish manpower.
Across the land of the Western Continent, fleets of ships were arrayed everywhere.
The fifth-tier Spirit Command Grade magic ship was recalled from Litian Prefecture.
Runes flowed across the ship's hull, and spiritual pressure surged like a mountain.
The fourth-tier Ancestor-Suppressing Grade magic ships took off from various counties.
They converged into a long river of steel above the two prefectures.
Countless others below the third rank were densely packed, covering the sky like passing dark clouds.
On the ground, the majority of the Ten Thousand Spirits Division's demon army set off.
Armored beasts, scaled beasts, birds, and beasts—all sorts of Yao Qi soared into the sky.
Carrying a bloody wind and a fighting spirit, it surged northward.
People from the surrounding towns stopped to watch.
Gazing at the endless, surging tide of demonic energy, their eyes were filled with awe.
All eleven departments mobilized simultaneously, and both prefectures issued procuratorial orders.
Such a move demonstrates the strength of the Dao Court in controlling the Western Continent.
Their destination was the coastal region of Jingxi Prefecture, the Endless Western Sea.
There, the Garrison Army and the two divisions of Myriad Spirits have transformed into vanguard forces, cutting into the sea.
He brought countless tiny Sea Race under his command.
Once the majority of the Dao Court arrives, the Western Sea Prefecture will be established on the spot.
It became the third prefecture of the Dao Court.
And just as the entire Western Continent were mobilized.
In the secret underground chamber of the former Army Suppression Division on the coast of Jingxi Prefecture.
A short-haired figure clad in black armor suddenly opened her long-closed eyes.
A rich and profound aura emanated from her body and spread outwards.
Until a clear, crisp sound echoed through the underground.
"Snap!"
