Chapter 344 The Great Migration of European Population, Void Infiltration

This middle-aged man was a high-ranking monk in the Russian State Buddhist Order.

When the Perseids first ravaged Europe, and three rifts appeared in the sky, Tsarist Russia decisively abandoned some areas of Europe.

The national center was moved slightly eastward. Although there are many demon tribes in the eastern Siberian plains, they are far less aggressive than the void creatures.

They even moved their most important city, Moscow.

Now that Tsarist Russia is considered an Asian country, they also participated in the discussion on the issue of European population migration.

He paused, then continued, "Currently, the first and largest wave of migration from Europe is pouring into our eastern border. Countries like Kazakhstan are in a similar situation. Some base cities are under considerable pressure."

Then, his voice became more serious: "What's even more troublesome is that we've confirmed that the Void Creatures have set up an invisible but powerful barrier along the Eurasian border."

"Our elite reconnaissance team, including several high-level mages, tried various methods but could not break through even a little bit. The strength of that barrier is beyond imagination."

"However, what is strange is that the European population was able to pass through that barrier without any hindrance! This is definitely not normal, and there must be something we do not yet know about it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a representative from a small country in West Asia stood up impatiently, his face filled with anxiety and helplessness: "Respected members of parliament, our country has also received some monks from Europe in the past few days."

"Among them... there are even some super-rank mages! To be honest, their combined strength has surpassed the total strength of our country's mage corps!"

“We simply don’t have the capacity to restrict or manage them! They do whatever they want, and even start interfering in local affairs.”

"We urgently need an effective and unified solution to deal with this unprecedented immigration crisis, otherwise our social structure will face collapse!"

These words express a common fear shared by many small countries.

Their maximum combat strength may only reach the super-rank, and they don't even have forbidden spell mages.

Faced with some European groups possessing powerful magical abilities, they were not only powerless to provide effective management, but also feared that these "powerful dragons" would take over and gradually erode their power structure, eventually usurping their territory.

There was a great deal of discussion in the meeting room, and a sense of panic began to spread.

At this moment, a highly respected elderly man with white hair from a major Asian country slowly stood up.

He said, "Our European compatriots are suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe. As fellow human beings, we must not and should not turn them away. That would violate our most basic moral bottom line."

He looked around and offered a well-thought-out solution: "I think we have two paths to take."

"First, we can negotiate to select one or two base cities that are in suitable locations and large enough to vacate out specifically for accommodating these European immigrants, and grant them a high degree of autonomy so that they can manage their internal affairs themselves."

"Secondly, we adopted a 'divide and conquer' strategy. We dispersed the influx of European population, which was then received, assimilated, and settled by the major countries in our Asian region. This broke the large influx into smaller groups, preventing any one region from becoming too stressed or forming a state within a state."

"Please consider which option is more feasible?"

"Su Lu? What do you think?"

Su Lu, who had been sitting silently at one side of the long table, was completely unprepared for the old man to suddenly bring up the topic of her.

His thoughts seemed to be forcibly pulled back from a very distant place to this council chamber.

He had been somewhat restless lately, partly because the strange mark Qianjue had planted in his body brought him indescribable irritability and oppression, making it difficult for him to concentrate. Secondly, and more importantly—his mind wasn't on that at all.

The Black Dragon Emperor, whom he had been searching for, was attacked by the Void Emperor in Europe and was already seriously injured!
At this moment, the powerful dragon, dragging its broken body, fled to the desolate Siberian plains of Asia, hiding in a remote mountain valley.

This news was a thousand times more important to him than the migration of people across Europe.

All eyes in the room instantly focused on him.

Su Lu then responded perfunctorily, clearly unwilling to waste any more words on the matter: "...Let's discuss and vote on it."

His mind had already flown to the icy, snowy Siberian wilderness, to the heavily wounded Black Dragon Emperor waiting for him to "harvest" his prey.

Finally, after a long and heated debate and a final show of hands vote, the decision was reached.

The vast majority of delegates agreed to the second option – “divide and conquer”.

The first solution seems ideal, but it's difficult to implement even in the first step:

Which country would willingly relinquish one or two complete base cities with immense strategic value?
The conflicts of interest and operational difficulties involved are simply insurmountable.

The "divide and conquer" approach appears to be more pragmatic.

It can not only disperse potential risks and prevent European immigrants from forming a powerful and uncontrollable force, but also effectively suppress potential riots or acts of vandalism.

At the same time, breaking up their forces makes it easier for various countries to manage and integrate them, thus minimizing the threat.

However, what none of the delegates knew was that...

The appeasement strategy of "divide and rule" adopted by Asian countries out of political considerations has inadvertently facilitated the infiltration of forces from the shadows.

These people will gradually disperse to every corner of Asia.

Every "European" who can safely cross that barrier, regardless of how outwardly they appear, has already unknowingly incorporated the seed of the void into their body.

Only by accepting the power of the void can one cross the barrier set up by the Void Queen.

Once the methodology for the Intercontinental Magic Conference was finalized, the accompanying personnel of each country's delegation quickly transmitted the key points of the plan back to their home countries via the magic channel.

Immediately following, intense negotiations regarding specific quotas and acceptance details unfolded simultaneously in several side halls of the Tower of the Wizarding Arts in Dubai.

As one of the largest and most culturally rich countries in Asia, China needs to shoulder responsibilities commensurate with its international status and receive a certain proportion of European migrants.

Immediately afterwards, the Russian representative nodded in agreement.

His country borders Europe and was already at the forefront of the crisis, but based on the newly defined Asian identity and geopolitical security needs, they agreed to continue to share more places according to the agreement, building on the influx of people already in the country.

In addition, representatives of magic from countries such as Iran and Afghanistan have also put forward their respective capacities for receiving magic.
