147: Chapter 147 The Nine-Tailed Fox is an auspicious omen, not a menace.

Xu Xuan was currently standing on the Floating Island, which had now been expanded into a massive island with a diameter of 11,330 meters.

The newly added Lower District could accommodate another 300,000 people.

However, the living conditions in the Lower District were somewhat poor; it was dim and devoid of sunlight, so it was generally used as a shelter and storage room.

A large number of warehouses were built in the Lower District to store the supplies sent up by the vassals.

In this way, the warehouses in the Lower District could store fruits from all four seasons, guaranteeing a year-long shelf life of freshness.

Xu Xuan could eat fruits from every season, 365 days a year.

With the spiritual energy cellars, the variety of food on the entire island had become abundant; everyone could eat fresher vegetables and fruits, and living conditions were catching up to modern standards.

Currently, after a few wars, the population on the island had increased to 160,000, not including the waves of immigrants.

Xu Xuan found the arrival of the immigrant waves to be quite magical; currently, the population on the island was mostly male.

This was because tens of thousands of troops had been replenished from the Chessboard of the Gods, all of whom were male.

Moreover, the Floating City currently had an immigration wave BUFF, and large groups of wild people would occasionally appear in the wilderness to come and seek refuge.

The most recent wave of immigrants was almost entirely female, which just happened to make up for the awkward situation of having more men than women on the island.

Additionally, Xu Xuan was very curious about where these wild people actually came from.

He casually stopped a new immigrant on the road.

"Tell me, where do you come from?"

This uncivilized female wild person, who had just joined the Floating City, spoke in not-so-fluent Mandarin.

"We... we don't know either. We were starving to death in our tribe when a voice told us to come to the Lord Continent and seek refuge with you, Great King."

The female wild person came from another world?

Were they living people, not generated by the system?

Xu Xuan stopped another martial artist soldier who was training: "Tell me, where do you come from?"

Upon seeing Xu Xuan, the martial artist immediately knelt on the ground in fear: "Reporting to the Great King, this humble one comes from a small fishing village on Danzhou Island in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Our village was invaded by sea monsters, and when my life was hanging by a thread, I was sent to the Chessboard of the Gods by a mysterious force."

Hearing the words of the female wild person and the patrolling martial artist, Xu Xuan gradually realized something.

These wild people and soldiers, including the residents on the island...

They might be humans from different time-spaces or different worlds.

They were all living humans, not generated by the system.

After randomly questioning a few residents, he found they had lived in various different human worlds and had all been selected by the system and sent to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan stroked his chin and thought, are these all fellow human compatriots from other different worlds?

But why were only Earthlings qualified to be Lords, while other humans were just soldiers and subjects in their hands?

Could it be that our Earth has something special about it? That it can produce the King of the Human Race?

This question was too profound; Xu Xuan thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and cast the thought aside.

Even if he thought about it for ten days and ten nights, he probably wouldn't get an answer, so why waste his brain cells?

Look before him!

Vast fertile lands stretching for thousands of miles, countless vassal lords offering various rare treasures—it felt like the Celestial Empire with ten thousand nations coming to pay tribute.

This vast expanse of land before him was all his!

On the magnificent Floating Island, the prototype of a city was gradually taking shape.

The residents were all beaming with joy, busy transporting the food tribute brought by the "foreign lands."

The citizens within the Floating City had their confidence greatly boosted, and they felt a higher sense of identity and pride in this nation.

Nearby, Chi You was leading workers to excavate resources on the resource island; spirit mines, gold, and vibrating iron were being continuously transported to the workshop area.

Looking at everything he had created with his own hands, a sense of accomplishment rose within Xu Xuan's heart.

He now loved standing at a high vantage point, overlooking everything in the city, watching the busy figures of his subjects, with joy radiating from every face.

Just then, a figure appeared beside Xu Xuan.

After slowly entering the mid-stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery, Su Daji's elusive abilities had become stronger and stronger.

"Great King, this concubine has an important matter to report!"

Xu Xuan's brows furrowed: "So urgent—it surely isn't good news."

"Great King, my Phantom Assassins have detected the aura of an alien race; it does not belong to the Human Race, the Beast Race, nor the Undead Race."

Hearing this, Xu Xuan had already guessed something: "Is it those from the Little Days or the Bangzi, has someone else defected to an alien deity?"

Previously, Li Shunyao had defected to the Necromancer God Lord, acting as a guide for the undead and betraying the Human Race.

There was already a precedent for this; now that other lords had gone to defect to alien races, Xu Xuan didn't feel surprised.

After all... in the near future, several alien races were set to land on the Lord Continent.

That a portion of lords had already secretly defected was not surprising to Xu Xuan.

At this moment, Su Daji reported again: "My people have already tracked the camp of this group of human traitors!"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Xuan was a little surprised: "Oh? I didn't expect your efficiency, beauty, to be much better than I imagined."

When Su Daji saw the surprise in Xu Xuan's eyes, she felt very proud inside.

See, the Nine-Tailed Fox is an omen of good fortune, here to assist the Great King.

She was definitely not a calamity; Su Daji wanted to vindicate her own reputation.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was not a demon fox that wreaked havoc on the world and left a bad name for ten thousand years.

Although she was proud inside, being able to receive the Great King's praise made her feel a bit lightheaded.

But Su Daji still knew how to restrain herself; she leaned close to Xu Xuan and used her slender hands to gently press on Xu Xuan's shoulders.

"Great King, this is all to your credit. You made the spiritual energy become increasingly abundant, which allowed me to use tracking methods to pursue that Miyamoto Takeshi."

Su Daji's voice was soft and tingling, and combined with her little hands, she gently massaged Xu Xuan's shoulders.

Accompanied by the hot breath she exhaled while speaking, along with the faint, fresh fragrance radiating from her body.

This feeling could significantly alleviate Xu Xuan's fatigue.

Because of the war, he had not rested for many days.

With just a few words and a massage, Su Daji made him feel very relaxed.

"Hmm, send the enemy's location to me; I will take a look."

"Great King, you only need to track Phantom Assassin Number 007, and you will be able to see the enemy's base camp."

Hearing Su Daji say this, Xu Xuan summoned the virtual screen and positioned it on Phantom Assassin Number 007.

These were all scouts and spies trained by Su Daji.

They were all women, meticulous in thought, and had also learned a portion of Su Daji's demonic arts.

At this moment, on the screen, one could see a flag hanging with the character [Ghost] on it.

Presumably, these people had all defected to the Ghost Emperor, that ghost god.

The Phantom Assassin on the screen was hiding in the bushes, secretly observing this group of human traitors holding a meeting.

Watching Miyamoto Takeshi and the others gathered together, discussing plans to besiege Xu Xuan tonight.

Xu Xuan's lips curled up, and he pulled out a divine general card.

"You like being human traitors, right? Want to learn about justice from above?"
