Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

After he finished speaking, Canglan fell into a long silence.

She closed her eyes slightly, recalling the people of her tribe who lived on the island.

Are they, still living in the past, really suited to the world hundreds of years later?

Mu Yun didn't urge her. While she was thinking, he gently teased the water leaper and searched for all the exploration team members in the Canghai Realm.

Now that he has prepared to take control of the Canghai Realm, he naturally won't allow outsiders to stay here.

"Lord Muyun..."

Canglan's voice slowly rang out. She opened her eyes, her gaze revealing a resolute determination.

"Lord Muyun, thank you for giving us the opportunity to choose. But... we still want to stay."

"The outside world may be wonderful, but Canghai Island is our root, a place protected by the giant for hundreds of years. Our people have lived here for generations, accustomed to a carefree life of devout faith. I implore you to leave us this island to live on within your domain!"

At this point, Canglan lowered his head, his words filled with pleading.

It's certainly good to accept new things.

However, not everyone is willing to keep up with the times. Sometimes, joining too abruptly can only bring endless estrangement and confusion.

Rather than letting our people, who are used to a primitive way of life, live in fear and anxiety in a strange world, it is better to stay on this homeland and continue to live a peaceful and stable life.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.

He felt that Canglan's choice was both unexpected and reasonable.

Canghai Island is, after all, just a small island. The fact that it has been able to live peacefully all these years is all thanks to the protection of the giant god.

If they were sent to the outside world, they would likely not adapt well.

It would be better to remain as it is now, with Mu Yun protecting them and them providing faith.

Of course, it's not about worshipping Mu Yun, but continuing to worship the Giant God as before. In any case, the final power of faith is always absorbed by Mudkip.

"Life went on as usual after that."

After saying that, Mu Yun disappeared into the shrine with the Water Leap Fish in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was already in the space of his personal spirit.

Compared to the hundred-plus square kilometers before absorbing the core of the vast ocean, the current area of ​​the portable spirit space has expanded by more than ten times.

And this is just the beginning.

"Buzz—!!"

Mu Yun slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the core of his being.

His immense spiritual power and primal power erupted simultaneously, and the newly expanded personal spirit space began to evolve rapidly under his control.

Spatial fusion!!

"Boom!!!"

An indescribable roar resounded in the hearts of every living being in the portable spirit space.

Almost instantly, an endless expanse of azure sea appeared out of thin air at the edge of space.

The surging seawater poured in, but it seemed to be stopped by an invisible wall, unable to impact the land in the personal spirit space even slightly.

Almost simultaneously, all the members of the exploration team in the Canghai Realm felt a sudden dizziness wash over them, as if they had been suddenly thrust into a teleportation portal.

After they came to their senses, they realized that their feeling was correct.

"What... is going on?"

Wan Xuan, the leader of the exploration team, rubbed his temples to ease the discomfort, then looked around in surprise.

"Captain Wan? What brings you out here?"

The team members responsible for guarding the portal were equally bewildered.

"Holy crap, Captain Wan, the portal... the portal's gone!!"

A gasp drew everyone's attention.

The enormous teleportation gate that had stood silently in the center of the island had vanished without a trace, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.

"!!!"

Wan Xuan was dumbfounded.

No, what happened to this secret realm?

"Team Leader Wan? What's going on?"

A slightly puzzled voice sounded from behind Wan Xuan.

Wan Xuan mechanically turned around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Mu Yun, whom he had been worried about and feared might have run into trouble.

That's right. After triggering the fusion of the secret realm, Mu Yun expelled everyone from the secret realm. In order not to be suspected, he also sent himself out.

In any case, he doesn't need to control the process of merging the secret realms.

"Mu Yun! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Seeing that Mu Yun was unharmed, Wan Xuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But the thought of the secret realm suddenly disappearing gave him a headache.

It's good that Mu Yun is alright, but he's really upset that the secret realm is gone.

However, it's better for the secret realm to be gone than for Mu Yun to be in trouble.

The former is beyond his control as a nobody, but the latter truly requires him, a nobody, to take the blame.

"In short, everyone please calm down for now. I'll go and consult with my superiors."

"Mr. Mu, please stay on the island for a few days. The disappearance of the secret realm is a major event, and no one on the island can leave for the time being," Wan Xuan said apologetically.

"Of course, I'm not in a hurry."

Mu Yun nodded.

Seeing that Mu Yun was so easy to talk to, Wan Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wu, take Mr. Mu to my lounge. You will be in charge of taking care of Mr. Mu's daily life for the next few days."

"Okay, Captain Wan!"

After giving his instructions, Wan Xuan rushed into the command room.

As for Mu Yun, the "instigator," he calmly followed Xiao Wu to the lounge.

It was called a rest area, but it was actually just a temporary tent.

After all, it's such a short time, and we're on a deserted island, so having any place to stay is already a blessing.

While Xiao Wu went to get the food, Mu Yun focused his mind on the Elf Space.

From a macro perspective, the entire Canghai Realm is rapidly merging into the personal spirit space.

As the space was integrated, the area, which originally had little water, suddenly expanded dramatically.

Even though it has only been integrated to a limited extent, the land space accounts for less than 10%.

However, Mu Yun didn't care.

Anyway, once the integration is complete and I have the modification permissions, I can rearrange the layout.

..............................

And so, time passed little by little as Mu Yun scrolled through his phone.

The sudden disappearance of a suspected S-rank secret realm naturally attracted the attention of the Shanghai Trainers Association, who specially dispatched a current regional Elite Four member to the scene.

The second-ranked member of the Eastern Region's Four Heavenly Kings, a rare Psychic-type Heavenly King—Zhuge Wuwo!

The younger brother of the current head of the Zhuge family in the southern region.

A middle-aged man who looks very refined and easy-going.

Mu Yun had expected a grand investigation, but the other party simply spent a day with the Natural Bird, walked around the island, chatted with some people, and then left.

Then, Wan Xuan announced the lifting of the ban and instructed Xiao Wu to sail Mu Yun back to the port of Shanghai.

It went smoothly, beyond Mu Yun's expectations.
