Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 345 The Sea King's Troubles

Speaking of the origin of the stone axe.

Even Aquaman couldn't give a clear answer.

All we know is that it was accidentally salvaged by an Atlantis ocean exploration team deep in the sea.

Because it was made of stone, yet it had not been corroded in the deepest part of the sea, the Sea King felt that it was something extraordinary.

Moreover, when he arrived at the Spirit Continent, he felt a sense of familiarity about this continent.

The reason is that the atmosphere here and the fluctuations on the stone axe are similar.

It seems that even the Sea King doesn't know why this stone axe appeared in the Western Fantasy Continent.

However, Jiang Chen and the others could be certain that the Immortal Realm was not as carefree and idyllic as everyone imagined.

"Alright, enough talk, let's eat first."

"Come!"

Huang Wansan stood up and raised his glass to Baka and the others:

"Since you are guests, let me make one first!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Following that, in addition to female cultivators like Ji Ruoyao, even Dao Yan Saint Lord personally stood up to offer them drinks.

Let these natives of the Western Fantasy Continent experience what drinking culture is all about.

And Baka and his friends were happy to be treated this way.

The fine wine and food here would be unimaginable to them in the Western Fantasy Continent.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

Fueled by alcohol, Aquaman revealed his true desires.

"Mr. President, I have a request, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

"Please speak freely, Neptune."

"I want to replicate your Spirit Qi Continent's civilization on the Western Fantasy Continent. What I mean is, to replicate your culture, civilization, architecture, and everything else on the Western Fantasy Continent one-to-one. What do you think?"

He just finished speaking.

Many people from the Spiritual Continent silently put down their chopsticks at the dinner table.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Aquaman revealed a hint of hostility.

Everything we've built up has been through so much hardship.

What are you, some kind of bubble teapot?

Are you planning to copy everything with just a slur of your lips?
However, Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, did not show much change in expression.

Human nature.

Think for a second.

If one day I were to visit a civilization far more advanced than the Spirit Continent, and receive a grand welcome from the highest authority of that civilization...

Naturally, they also wanted to replicate some aspects of this civilization on the Spirit Continent.

to be honest.

Isn't everything on the Spirit Continent based on Earth?
Therefore, it was entirely within Jiang Chen's expectations that the Sea King would have such an idea. Moreover, in his plan, the transformation of the Western Fantasy Continent into a second "Spiritual Qi Continent" was an essential development process.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have appointed Connor as the general agent for the Western Fantasy Continent.

However, their ambition to become the second "Spirit Continent" is not as simple as it seems.

It's not enough to just pass some bills for reform and build some skyscrapers.

They definitely need the help of the Spirit Continent.

It might even require developers or franchisees from the Spirit Continent to directly establish operations in the Western Fantasy Continent.

These are all highly profitable ventures.

However, many people present, including Taixu Sword Master and Zhen Youqian, had not yet thought of this.

Everyone thought that the Sea King's move was an attempt to take advantage of the civilized system of the Spirit Qi Continent for free.

In response, Jiang Chen quickly brought everyone's thoughts back to the present with just one sentence:
"of course can!"

"We hope that all continents can move towards civilization, and Aquaman's behavior precisely reflects the exemplary and leading role of advanced civilization."

Eh?
Is it so easy?
The Sea King was overjoyed. He thought he would have to pay a huge or even terrible price, but he didn't expect the CEO to be so kind!

Great virtuous man!

No, the CEO is the real god!
"Can we have it on Black Dragon Island too?"

Baka cleverly seized the opportunity to speak:

"Of course, we welcome your contributions to civilization, however..."

Jiang Chen paused, tapped the table, and then spoke earnestly: "Sea King, but reform is not a simple matter of inviting people to dinner."

"The Spirit Continent has come to be what it is today after countless years of growing pains."

"From sectarian separatism to the integration of all races, from the law of the jungle to the rule of law and civilization."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen pulled up a holographic video, showing the brutal scenes of early sect factions fighting and fighting each other.

"We didn't get to where we are today by taking one step at a time; we got here by shedding blood and sweat with every step we took!"

"Think about it, once you return to the Western Fantasy Continent, how will you reform and develop it? I don't need you to give me an overall plan, just tell me, what do you plan to do first?"

"The first step," Aquaman frowned. "The first step."

Countless ideas flashed through his mind.

Building a skyscraper?
But buildings are inanimate objects. Buildings only exist because of civilization, and owning a building does not equate to owning civilization.

Should a Labor Law or a Law on Equality for All Races be promulgated?
That won't work either.
Leaving aside other races, this was implemented only within the sea race.

The lords of Atlantis would not accept receiving the same treatment as the poor, and might even impeach them and force them to step down.

Should we just tell them directly?

Tell them about a higher civilization called the Spirit Continent, and tell them everything about the Spirit Continent.

Let every member of the sea tribe understand just how miserable their lives truly are.

Their proud Atlantis is not even comparable to some other fifth-tier cities.

wrong!

Aquaman had another idea.

If the sea people were to witness true civilization, they would surely overthrow their "benevolent" ruler.

Think about it.

Aquaman suddenly realized.

It seems I have absolutely no way of promoting anything on the Spirit Continent.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

To the upper-class gentlemen.

As nobles, they simply could not accept the concept of "equality."

For the lower classes of ordinary people.

Ouch, what the fuck?

So this is how good life is for ordinary cultivators on the Spiritual Continent? What kind of miserable life did I live before?
Those deep-sea miners work day and night, and they do it for their entire lives.

If they were to come into direct contact with the advanced ideas of the Spirit Qi Continent, they might just be able to launch a riot.

Either one.

None of these are problems that Aquaman can easily solve.

To know.

Even Jiang Chen, who had been "nourished" by the cultural system of Blue Star for more than a decade, had turned the Spirit Qi Continent into what it is now.

That took a long time and a lot of effort.

You, Aquaman, are just a native.

He only played on his phone for two days and stayed in the Demon City for two days. What makes him think he can be the founder of a new era?

Huang Wansan handed over the data board at the opportune moment:
"Neptune, according to our professional calculation team, if the Western Fantasy Continent wants to reach the current level of civilization of the Spirit Qi Continent..."

"Requirements: 1. At least twenty Saint Lord-level powerhouses wielding immortal artifacts to oversee the work; 2. Thirty-six thousand highly skilled professional management personnel; 3. Starting investment of approximately 23.9 trillion spirit stones in supporting infrastructure."

Aquaman stared at the data panel, his eyes gradually dimming.

"Therefore, Neptune, if you want to implement reforms, you need a systematic plan."

Jiang Chen pushed a document:
"This is our draft 'White Paper on the Modernization Transformation of the Western Fantasy Continent,' which details everything."

Aquaman froze as soon as he opened the cover.

The title of the first chapter is prominently displayed as "On the Self-Revolution of the Royal Privileged Class".

The small print annotations also contained glaring red text:
[According to calculations, if the current rate of exploitation continues after contact with civilization, the probability of a revolution breaking out is 87.6%]

Just then, celebratory fireworks sounded outside the window, casting flickering light and shadow on Neptune's face.

He suddenly realized that those dazzling lights illuminated not only the prosperity of the Spirit Continent, but also the civilization gap that he could never bridge.

"President, we don't have that many talented people, nor do we have that many powerful artifacts to protect us. Could you... could you help us? Atlantis is willing to offer a portion of its endless wealth accumulated over millions of years."

ohh~
Hearing that there was money to be made.

The other high-ranking members of the Spirit Continent at the dinner table also showed friendly smiles.
