Chapter 384 The Reforms of Atlantis
surrender?

The remaining members of the Spirit Continent camp, who were eager to try, immediately became anxious upon hearing this:
"Wait! I haven't even made my move yet!"

"Yeah, how about we play a few more rounds, guys? If you think the odds are too low, how about we play best of seven? Or best of nine if all else fails!"

A group of people even begged these deep-sea overlords to fight them a few more times.

Furthermore, it was stated that the already defeated Demon Whale King and Octopus Grand Duke could also return to the stage as contestants!

They initially dismissed the battle plan given by the CEO.

But it feels so good right now!
They completely manipulated the other side!

San Zang was the most anxious. He wished he had followed the president's plan when he was fighting the Mantis Shrimp.

it's good now?

There was no chance to make a move!

Looking at the group of people opposite him, their faces filled with anxiety.

These deep-sea overlords all felt a chill run down their spines.

demon!

devil!

Satan!

How can there be such a thing?
They're worse than animals!
The Demon Whale King and the Octopus Grand Duke, who had just been tortured, heard that the other party still wanted to fight them.

Without saying a word, he turned and ran, disappearing into the depths of the ocean in the blink of an eye.

The remaining few, seeing that things were going badly, also abandoned their weapons and left.

The situation took a turn for the better too quickly.

So fast that the elders and councilors who thought victory was assured hadn't even had time to react before those infamous deep-sea overlords vanished without a trace.

"not good!"

Just as the elders realized what was happening and were about to make a run for it, they were restrained by Aquaman.

"Hehe, elders, isn't it a bit too late for you to leave now?"

Looking at this group of trembling, old fogies before him, Aquaman uttered two touching, thought-provoking, and intriguing words:

"Meeting!"

soon.

Aquaman then convened a meeting of all the high-ranking officials of Atlantis and invited Fu Yuechan and others to listen in on the entire meeting.

Atlantis Crystal Council Chamber

The magical crystal chandeliers on the dome illuminated the entire hall. Neptune sat enthroned, his scepter lightly tapping the ground, the sound barely concealing his grief and rage.
"quiet!"

The previously noisy hall fell silent instantly.

Neptune surveyed the surroundings.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the silent elders and council members, then turned to Fu Yuechan and the others, giving a slight nod.
"Today, I have specially invited fellow Daoists from the Spiritual Continent to attend and discuss the unprecedented changes in Atlantis over the past thousand years."

He raised his hand and waved it, and the magical projection unfolded in the void.

The images vividly depict the peacock shrimp king shattering the barrier with its fists and the horrific scene of lava boiling over the slums.

"Upon investigation!"

Neptune's voice suddenly rose, and his scepter pointed towards the elders' seat:

"Seven members of the Elder Council, including Morris, conspired with five notorious deep-sea monsters, including the Mantis Shrimp King, the Demon Whale King, and the Steel Armored Giant Crab King, to plot a rebellion."

"Causing numerous innocent casualties in Atlantis."

The projection then switches to images of councilors holding the "Barrier Veto Order," coldly observing the destruction of the city of Atlantis.

The members of the council bowed their heads, their pearl sashes soaked with cold sweat.

Frankly speaking.

In fact, most of them knew about this beforehand, and many even participated directly in it.

But something unexpected happened.

Does Aquaman seem unwilling to hold the others accountable?
Only seven people were called out?
"Please look, everyone—"

Aquaman's fingertip swept across the data stream, and casualty statistics appeared before everyone's eyes:
"Due to the barrier's failure, Atlantis suffered 3,700 direct deaths and over 10,000 serious injuries! The economic loss is equivalent to 1.2 billion magic crystals!"

He turned abruptly, his anger surging like a raging torrent:

"You're willing to stain the jewels on your scepters with the blood of your own people just to protect your so-called aristocratic interests?!"

The hall was deathly silent.

Fu Yuechan coughed lightly, breaking the silence:

"Your Excellency Neptune, although this matter concerns your domestic affairs, it also involves the foundation of cooperation between our two worlds. On behalf of the Holy Land Alliance, I would like to express our stance—"

She stood up, clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute, and said politely:
"Wan San Group can cover the reconstruction costs of Atlantis and send a medical team and infrastructure team. In addition..."

She glanced at the council of elders, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"According to Article 5 of the Interdimensional Humanitarian Assistance Agreement, our Spiritual Continent will dispatch a professional protection team to Atlantis to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The elders' expressions changed drastically!

Isn't this tantamount to letting outsiders take control of Atlantis?!
Aquaman seized the opportunity to speak, his tone gentle yet undeniably assertive:

"Your Majesty is righteous!"

what?
The Sea King actually agreed so readily?

Some people want to refute.

But at this moment, they also understood very well.

If they refute this, they will immediately be labeled as Maurice's accomplices.

No wonder Aquaman didn't pursue their responsibility; he was waiting for them here!
resignedly.

Having made a mistake, they had no say at this point and could only let Haiwang and Fu Yuechan discuss and decide on various details.

Aquaman then issued a series of announcements regarding the incident, expressing his grief and stating that he had taken serious action against Maurice and several other culprits.

Most importantly, Aquaman took the opportunity to push through reform bills.

This made the lower-class sea creatures of Atlantis realize that there was a more advanced and equal higher plane in the world—the Spirit Continent. And the Sea King wanted to learn everything about the Spirit Continent.

[Atlantis Royal Announcement No. 1 of 2026]

[Document on Comprehensively Deepening the Transformation of Civilization and Rectifying Historical Issues]

To all our fellow sea people:
In light of the historic opportunity for cross-dimensional civilizational exchange, and after full consultation with the Strategic Cooperation Committee of the Spiritual Continent, the following resolution is hereby made regarding the transformation of the Atlantis civilization:

I. Historical Position and Mission of Our Time

Currently, Atlantis is at a critical stage of transformation from a traditional maritime civilization to a modern, diversified civilization.

Looking back, we have come to a profound realization:

The problem of class solidification is a necessary means to maintain ethnic stability under specific historical conditions (see Chapter 3 of the White Paper on the Continuation of Deep-Sea Civilization).
The life force extraction system was a phased measure to cope with the ancient energy crisis (see attached "Archaeological Report on Resource Scarcity in the Western Sea Era").

The aristocratic privilege system played an irreplaceable cohesive role in resisting foreign invasions (see Volume VII of The History of the Atlantis Wars).

These problems stem from the limitations of the times, the legacy of history, and unavoidable choices.

It is a necessary sacrifice and a great exploration in the process of civilization development.

Now, with the guidance and example of the advanced civilization on the Spirit Continent, we have finally reached a historical turning point where we can overcome the growing pains of development and achieve a tortuous path forward.

II. Overall Transformation Plan

Institutional Reform Project:

Effective immediately, the "Sea Clan Class Division Regulations" are abolished, and the "Outline for the Equal Development of All Races" (revised version under the guidance of the Spiritual Continent Expert Group) will be fully implemented.
Establish the "Royal Reform Vanguard Post," led by Neptune, to abolish historical facilities such as the palace's special access passage and the nobles' exclusive healing pool (reform period: 30 tidal cycles).

Action to safeguard people's livelihood:

We have launched the "Deep-Sea Miner Re-employment Program," providing retraining for miners through the Wansan Group's undersea tunnel project (with a guaranteed salary of no less than 300% of their original income).
An eight-hour workday is implemented, and working overtime is strictly prohibited (those who violate this rule will be subject to electrotherapy correction by the Holy Land Alliance garrison forces).

Cultural Reshaping Project:

Introducing a special version of the Xifanxi edition on the Douyin platform, and opening a dedicated section for the #NewAtlantis# topic;

The textbooks were revised, and new compulsory courses were added, such as "On the Historical Rationality of the Old System and the Inevitability of the New Era" and "How to Repay the CEO's Kindness".

III. Principles for Handling Historical Issues

To address the livelihood issues caused by past policies, the royal family will establish a "Civilization Leap Compensation Fund" (initial investment: 2000 million magic crystals).

For aristocratic members who resist reform, a flexible approach of "education as the primary method and punishment as a secondary method" will be adopted.
All historical archives have been annotated with the following note: "[This is a temporary arrangement for a specific stage of development]".

IV. Organization and Implementation

The entire process was supervised by the 'Civilization Transformation Advisory Group' dispatched from the Spiritual Continent (led by Comrade Fu Yuechan).

Establish the "Neptune Express" mechanism to respond to public questions via Douyin live stream every day during the Shen time (3-5 PM);

We will launch a '100-day campaign' to ensure that the first phase of the Lezhidi complex project is completed and put into use before the monsoon season.

Conclusion:

Reform is not a dinner party, but we must have the courage of a warrior cutting off his own arm and the determination of a phoenix rising from the ashes to transform this tortuous progress into a leap forward in civilization!
Let us unite closely around the New Atlantis Construction Committee and jointly create a magnificent new picture of deep-sea civilization!

(Note: The final interpretation of this document rests with the Atlantis Royal Family and the Wan San Group.)
So the sea people were all excited when they saw the announcement.

The excitement caused the temperature of the seawater around Atlantis to rise several degrees.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first!

Aquaman is a man who has thoroughly read many books on CEO strategies.

As soon as the bill was announced, he contacted Jiang Chen, expressing his desire to open a direct train between Atlantis and the Spiritual Continent.

Moreover, they are so rich that they are inhumanly extravagant.

He immediately offered to open sixteen dedicated ocean lines and even stated that he would cover the infrastructure costs of the Spirit Continent.

"Not urgent."

Jiang Chen tapped the table, pondering:
"We'll open four routes in the four cardinal directions of Atlantis first, and then we'll gradually open the rest."

He worried that launching too many special trains at once might pose safety risks.

Who knows if those few frightened deep-sea tyrants will secretly sabotage and retaliate?

Although they are unlikely to go out and cause trouble.

But be afraid of anything unexpected.

Not every cultivator on the Spiritual Continent is as resilient as San Zang. That mantis shrimp could probably crush tens of thousands of ordinary cultivators with a single punch.

Every cultivator traveling to the Western Fantasy Continent has their travel ticket included with accident insurance.

How many spirit stones will I have to pay in compensation?
The ocean is too deep. Before completely defeating those deep-sea overlords, Jiang Chen only plans to open a direct line to the interior of Atlantis.

On the surface of the Western Fantasy Continent.
Then you can be bolder.

Even the sleeping old dragon king, namely Tyrant Dragon Island, has opened a dedicated line.

Meanwhile, the Vampire Territory, Succubus Territory, Elf King, and Dark Fairy Castle have all opened dedicated train lines in turn.

And that's when.

Jiang Chen received a private invitation from Yan Lili, the Dark Fairy Queen, giving him the opportunity to visit the Western Fantasy Continent.

The Queen's gratitude was palpable, indicating that thanks to mobile phones, the prevalence of black magic in the country has greatly increased.

Now the Queen means...

Is there any good way to make black magic popular in the Western fantasy continent?

If possible.

As the Dark Fairy Queen, she is willing to pay any price for this.

The hints are now obvious.

Jiang Chenbao went there!
