The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

At first, no one cared. They were just relieved that the leader was still willing to lead them. Now that Obsidian, the original leader of the refugees, was completely on Xue Dinglu's side, no one objected.

Furthermore, since the deputy commander is a friend of the president, will they also have a steady supply of bread and clean water from now on?

But soon, the deputy commander began his plan, and within just one day he had assigned everyone to different departments: those responsible for building houses, those responsible for fighting, those responsible for clearing frozen ground, those responsible for processing distilled water, and those responsible for overseeing all work.

All the arrangements were laid out in an orderly manner, which made everyone feel that something was unusual. And most importantly, he took out a food called "Dragon Blood Potato".

It's a plant that can grow in frozen soil.

Even the deputy commander taught all the fel sorcerers a unique spell called "Life-Giving"!

This is a modified version of Xue's Law in the world of fairy tales that promotes plant growth. The disadvantage is that this technique will greatly deplete the soil's fertility and energy, while requiring a large amount of water for irrigation 24 hours a day, and even requiring continuous carbon replenishment.

It involves piling up dead branches and leaves of various plants or any other carbon elements into the soil to accelerate growth, until, like old Watson, dozens of acres of vegetables and fruits are grown overnight. This is the result of the tireless work of everyone in Baiyin City.

Matter does not appear out of thin air; it must at least undergo material transformation or consume energy.

But this world, this land of suffering, possesses unimaginable wealth: "dragon blood" and "radiation energy."

This is all natural energy. In fact, these things are everywhere on this land. As long as the potatoes are continuously improved to adapt to the erosion of dragon blood and radiation, they will naturally transform this suffering land into fertile land without even needing composting.

After a day of research and development, the Old Demon King and the planting team developed Dragon Blood Potato version 24.0.

This version of the Dragon Blood Potato can absorb underground radiation and dragon blood as its own nutrients and energy, and its robust roots will continue to climb downwards until it absorbs more dragon blood and radiation.

This type of potato has a fruit as big as an adult's fist. It is dark red and has a rusty taste, but it is rich in sugar and hemoglobin, and its nutritional value is three times that of beef.

It is unknown who leaked the information, but other refugees have already begun to arrive at their camp. These refugees originally heard that there were doctors here who could cure evil, but the old demon king accepted them all and immediately joined the construction workforce.

They worked tirelessly to earn their medical treatment and food.

As Xue finished his day of surgeries and awaited a letter from his senior Olivia, his dinner was no longer bacon and tea, but freshly baked potatoes.

"Commander, we harvested a total of 8 tons of Dragonblood Potatoes today. This will sustain us for several months and be enough to get us through the winter. Also, after testing, we found that the evil energy on the land after the Dragonblood Potatoes are harvested is greatly reduced..." Obsidian reported the old demon king's work for the day to Xue Luding.

Although Xue Daolu didn't care what the old devil had done, she seemed to care a lot and tried to report everything that the old man had done that day.

She seemed to be keeping her original vow, forever becoming a sharp blade in Xue's hands.

“I understand. Also, let him be. I know what you’re worried about—a power struggle or something like that? But don’t worry, I have absolutely no intention of doing that. Besides, I might be leaving in a while.” Xue’s words silenced her. Then, the woman simply nodded slightly and respectfully left.

Her main task now is actually to take care of the children, that is, to take care of Bai Ya and Xiao Long Niang, and to teach them to read and learn magic.

Xue's Law doesn't care what the old devil has done. Although he may make stupid mistakes, his system must have been established to make everyone's life better.

Similarly, he primarily fulfills his system and ideals in this world.

What Xue's Law is more concerned about is the letter he received from senior Olivia on the message board today.

"Junior, I have become the next Tyrannosaurus God. I have also witnessed some of the secrets and history of the dragon race, which I will send to you later. Right now, the most important thing is that the dragon race is trying to steal the power of the world..."

If they really succeed... no, I should say they've basically succeeded. We'll be facing the dragons who control the world's consciousness. I'll send you detailed information about the battlefield and the world's consciousness...

A long string of intelligence followed, showing that the senior was truly capable, having risen to become the enemy's leader in just a few days.

Looking at the intelligence attached, Xue Lude frowned deeply...

The world consciousness has become an empty shell, and the dragons have almost successfully stolen the world.

The world is now like Zeus, who has completed six days of the seven-day oath. All that is needed is the final step for Zeus to partially replace the world consciousness of Earth and thus become a part of the world consciousness himself.

But Zeus at least stole power; he seized it through intrigue and ritual.

But good heavens, the dragons of this world are openly robbing, no gimmicks, they directly clash with the world's consciousness. Thousands of years of endless battlefields and battles are all for the purpose of slowly wearing down the world's consciousness. This method even terrifies Xue Lude.

But suddenly, Xue Dinglu realized something. He immediately went out of the hut and looked at the refugee camp, which had been drastically changed and resembled a village. He found Bai Ya and Xiao Longniang playing in the snow, as well as Hei Yaoshi who was taking care of them.

He lifted Little Dragon Girl up and met her eyes in those eternally shining golden pupils.

"Are you the World Consciousness?" He suddenly thought of this possibility. Possessing an ability similar to the manifestation of illusion, a natural-born mythical being, born with only dragons by his side, and suddenly appearing beside Xue Luding, there is another possibility besides the fragment of the King.

She is part of the world consciousness, or rather...

Daughter of the World!

Chapter 230 The Old Demon Emperor's Otherworldly Farming Plan

Xiaolongniang tilted her head blankly and reached out as if to reach Xue Dinglu. She seemed to find it funny that Xue Dinglu was lifting her up with both hands, and then she also wanted to reach out and lift Xue Dinglu up.

But it was obvious that her wingspan was too short, and she thrashed around there like a seal coming ashore.

Looking at this dull-witted creature, Xue's Law really couldn't connect it with world consciousness.

He had seen world consciousnesses that were useless, arrogant, and cold-blooded, but he had never seen one that was stupid. However, he had seen one today.

No, perhaps it's not that the world's consciousness is sluggish, but rather that the world's true form is still fighting the dragons to the death. She is merely a part of the world, and because the world's consciousness is in such a poor state, she hasn't even retained any memories, just like an eight-month-old baby.

And so far, everything she has done has been like that of an eight-month-old baby.

"Are you here to ask me for help?" Xue asked.

At this moment, the little dragon girl who had been splashing around in the water suddenly stopped talking. She seemed to realize something. Her golden eyes, which were like high beams, met Xue Lude's gaze. Xue Lude had to avoid looking directly into her golden eyes to avoid being blinded by the high beams.

"It seems that even if they have lost their memories, they still have some instincts... Fighting in their true form against the dragons who have already seized control of most of the world..." Xue Dinglu had once controlled the world's power, and he knew the power of such home-based warfare.

On this planet, the dragons, who control most of the power, are invincible. The only way to defeat them is to either obtain the same power or to destroy the entire world from outside the world with a single blow capable of annihilating it.

The second method is not considered, so now there is only one answer...

He immediately took out the message board and said to his senior, "Senior, I seem to have found the remnants of the world's consciousness, but her condition is really too bad. I need some time to set up a ritual. If it succeeds, I can try to connect to the world's origin, and then we will still have a chance to fight."

Xue Dinglu immediately picked up the little dragon girl and carried her back to the house. He then instructed Bai Ya and Hei Yaoshi to have the old demon emperor stabilize the situation.

Clearly, the method he wanted to try was still derived from Zeus's "Age of Creation".

This is the best way to awaken the origin of the world. So far, apart from the native Blue Star consciousness, Xue Law has only been able to contact all other world consciousnesses using this method. Oh, and there's also the Lung Mist consciousness from the old undead world, which approached Xue Law on its own.

Therefore, Xue immediately began to arrange a large number of rituals. The Genesis ritual was not complicated, but it was not simple either. He needed to arrange the oath and the terms of Eden, and then try to carry out the seven-day oath gradually from the first day.

Furthermore, the vows made each day must meet the conditions for the ceremony to proceed to the next step.

This is why he first contacted Olivia, who had already become the second-in-command of the Dragon Clan. He needed someone to report the Dragon Clan's movements at any time to prevent them from rolling up their sleeves and blocking his door as soon as he started his oath on the first day.

……

The following day, more and more refugees and wandering groups arrived at the camp.

It wasn't just refugees; many people who couldn't survive in their original city-states came here. On this frozen land, death and infection seemed to be an unavoidable disaster. Everyone lived numbly, feeling the suffering that this land brought them.

Until suddenly someone said that there were doctors in the city-states of the wasteland who could treat radiation sickness for free.

Radiation sickness, also known locally as "pollution," is a phenomenon that is universally hated.

On the one hand, everyone in this world has tumors to some extent, but many people are less polluted, and the dragon's blood and radiation are not enough to form obvious tumors in their bodies, so they can still live normal lives.

However, many people, especially those who struggle at the very bottom and have already given their all just to survive, cannot drink water that has been filtered to remove radiation, nor can they eat pure food that is free from dragon blood contamination.

They could only rely on local resources, eating the most primitive dragon blood food and drinking irradiated water, which caused tumors to grow exceptionally fast in their bodies. These growing tumors also gave them tremendous power beyond that of normal people.

At the same time, the polluters themselves become radiation sources that can infect others. Radiation is something that is basically impossible to isolate; the only way is to drive them away or even kill them.

Therefore, chaos, resistance, and slaughter are the main themes of this land. It is a war between ordinary people and polluters, and a war for the polluters to survive. Unfortunately, the stronger the power, the more terrifying the side effects. The polluters have all failed. The power that radiation gives them often leads to a larger area of ​​infection after only a few uses, thus causing them to die faster.

Even for the polluters, their corpses are gradually devoured by the tumors after death, disappearing as if they have been integrated into the earth.

Everyone in Obsidian Camp was a person expelled from the city-state. They could only wander in this frozen wasteland. If enough people gathered, dragonborn messengers would come to provide them with a little assistance. With this assistance and the few days of snow melting in the summer, they could harvest some crops.

They struggled to survive on this land, perhaps with little hope left. They lived day by day, hoping that their descendants would be lucky enough to avoid too much pollution.

Yet this group of people, who are struggling to survive and are at the very bottom of the world, suddenly hear that there is a doctor in the distant wilderness who offers free cancer treatment.

Many people began to feel fear, fearing that this was some kind of scheme by the city-state to lure them into the wilderness and hunt them, but a small survival instinct in their hearts made them unable to resist going.

So more and more people started moving in this direction, even if it was just looking from afar, even if it was only a tiny hope of one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, or even if, in the worst case, this place was just a refugee settlement for polluters, and no one discriminated against them, right?

From a god's-eye view, one would see that, with this refugee camp at its core, the populations of several nearby city-states were densely packed together, like ants moving house, converging on this place.

Even in distant city-states, once the news reached them, many people rushed towards this place.

These polluters possess physical strength and power that are difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, as well as an immense resistance to nuclear winter. This power, bestowed upon them by dragon blood and radiation, is also their death warrant.

And so, at the start of a new day, the old Demon Emperor discovered that thousands more refugees were waiting for him to receive them outside the camp. Moreover, more and more people were trying to get there.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of people will arrive before tonight.

These people all looked travel-worn, but despite the strange environment of this world, they were all quite good-looking. Even though they had disgusting tumors on their faces or exposed areas, it did not affect their overall appearance.

This even puzzled the old Demon Emperor. His true form was a humanoid combination of a centipede and a lizard. Most people in their world were like this, belonging to a race that evolved relatively slowly. Logically speaking, his aesthetic sense should also be that of the same race.

But looking at the people in this world, he actually found them "beautiful," which was a very strange feeling.

It's not the way humans look at kittens and puppies; it's more like how orcas and dolphins see humans.

The old Demon Emperor may now understand why Xue's Law has always said that the evolutionary level of the races in this world is higher than that of the Blue Star people, because they are indeed a race that has evolved more towards the image of "King", and they are born with more powerful magical talents.

It's just that their magical talents were masked by dragon blood and radiation.

The old Demon Emperor accepted all of these people without hesitation. After all, he wanted to build a thousand-year empire here, and he would only feel that there was not enough labor and population, never that the population was too small.

As for the most crucial issue of food after the arrival of people? He was able to grow 8 tons of potatoes on the first day. As for water, isn't the continuous snowfall here the best water source?

If that's still not enough, he can also summon Xue's Law with a wave of his hand, conjuring up countless bread knights and mineral water dragons, enough to feed tens of thousands of people on his own.

"Here, everyone must follow the rules. We have a three-point agreement..." The old Demon Emperor gave a speech in the open space, raising one hand high. His impassioned speech could be heard clearly by thousands of people.

It's essentially a merit system. Their main merit now is clearing snow and frozen ground to leave enough land for planting potatoes. The cleared snow shouldn't be thrown away; it can be melted and used for irrigation and daily water supply.

Growing potatoes on permafrost is not an easy task, and the cherry blossom-flavored potatoes from Siberia are a good example of this.

So this is actually a very difficult task, but the old Demon Emperor gave everyone hope, that is, the top 100 people with the most merits will have priority to have the opportunity to cure their tumors, and can even give this opportunity to their family members.

However, if someone possesses special talents in areas such as carpentry, blacksmithing, mechanics, agriculture, medicine, or demonic magic, they will receive special treatment after verification, having the same priority in treatment as the first one hundred people.

Similarly, the priority given to these artisans does not affect the top one hundred meritorious individuals...

So, after the old Demon Emperor issued one decree after another, everyone excitedly sprang into action and put in 200% of their enthusiasm for their work.

Houses rose up on the frozen wasteland, land was cleared, and dragon blood potatoes were quickly planted on the frozen ground, growing at a visible speed with the help of growth-enhancing magic.

Chapter 231 Long'er's Stress Reaction

As for Xue Dinglu, the surgical procedures had been handed over to others. Many of the refugees had some medical background, especially Obsidian, the woman.

Therefore, Xue's Law, referencing his aunt's ability to collect viruses affected by the cursed blood to create a pseudo-cursed blood artifact, provided her with a copy of the same "pseudo-cursed blood" and granted her temporary access to it.
