Chapter 190

And the texture is excellent, just like potatoes, and it fills you up too.

The best part is, the leaves of the red sweet potato can be stir-fried and eaten.

The original diet of the beastfolk was varied, but had one common trait.

The food of the beastfolk lacked sugar.

Red sweet potatoes can make up for this.

After finding the red sweet potatoes, Lin Yan left behind his divine mark, then began large-scale cultivation.

The addition of red sweet potatoes greatly enriched the diet of the beastfolk in the City of Miracles.

The Xiong Zu especially loved this.

Because the red sweet potatoes were sweet, they reminded them of honey in the forest.

But there wasn't much honey in the forest to begin with, and there were so many Xiong that one could be lucky to eat honey once a month.

But red sweet potatoes could be eaten every day.

Suddenly, all these large, burly Xiong were deeply moved!

Major construction was still underway in full swing.

To get rich, first build roads.

This simple saying was told to Sister Qing Ling by Lin Yan as a divine revelation.

So after defeating the Lion Clan, Sister Qing Ling was determined to build roads!

The crust of the Continent of Gods was extremely stable.

Aside from volcanoes, geological disasters like earthquakes were rare; in many regions, earthquakes basically never occurred.

The mountains here were also mostly stable.

There would be no violent tectonic movements here.

There was no plate tectonics like the one Lin Yan had known before his transmigration.

This was not a planet.

It was a continent blessed by the gods, forged to be extremely sturdy.

The climate here rarely turned abnormal.

So once the roads were built, they could last for many, many years.

The road connecting the City of Miracles to the Lion Clan's Wang Cheng was built very wide.

Its width reached a full twenty meters.

With twenty thousand strong Lion Clan warriors, aided by the magicians of the City of Miracles, this road was built extremely fast.

On average, they could complete tens of kilometers each day.

When encountering forests, they simply burned a path through.

When encountering plains, it was even easier.

Burn off the vegetation, then compact the foundation.

"Once this road is finished, our control over the Lion Clan will greatly increase. I plan to install several devout Lion women to manage specific affairs within the Lion Clan."

Said Sister Qing Ling, the fox woman, in the City of Miracles.

Meng Ying, clad in a white long robe, said: "Holy Maiden, shouldn't we now consider unifying the entire beastfolk realm?"

Sister Qing Ling nodded and said: "Yes, this matter must be put on the agenda!"

This beastfolk realm east of the Mist had never been unified.

Though the Lion Clan boasted itself as the "Imperial Clan" and could command all tribes, this beastfolk realm was still not a complete nation.

It was merely a realm composed of various beastfolk tribes.

Though the tribes outwardly obeyed the Lion Clan, each governed itself independently—some worshipped their own gods, others their own; only those tribes deliberately courting the Lion Clan followed the same deity.

And the Lion Clan could not interfere in the internal affairs of these tribes.

The tribal system was effective for a time, making the beastfolk within each tribe more united and improving their survival.

But it also constrained development.

Now, Sister Qing Ling and Meng Ying both intended to unify the entire beastfolk realm, placing it all under the glory of the Lord of Flame.

Sister Qing Ling thought for a moment and said: "The Lion Clan has just submitted; their hearts are unstable. So we still need time to fully absorb the Lion Clan and bring them completely under the banner of the Lord of Flame!"

Meng Ying nodded, agreeing with Sister Qing Ling's thought.

Steady and sure was best.

Having just swallowed the largest tribe in this beastfolk realm, we must leave enough time to fully digest it.

Otherwise, swallowing too much at once will choke us!

Sister Qing Ling continued: "But we don't need much time—once the road is finished, it should be enough. My god has already shown miracles; after the Lion Clan's faith deepens, my lord will grant them blessings, letting them feel his grace. At that moment, when the entire Lion Clan is fully devoted, we will begin unifying the whole realm."

Meng Ying nodded again.

Beside her, the Dwarf Queen Aiwei, the Centaur Chieftain, and Princess Luodi of the Cat Clan also nodded.

Sister Qing Ling said: "But we can begin some work now. The Miracles Wasteland still has vast lands, so we'll first send messengers to smaller tribes—any who are willing to worship the Lord of Flame may receive land, as well as divine beans and divine sweet potatoes. Many small tribes will surely be won over."

Meng Ying added: "This method is viable. In the current beastfolk realm, the powerful tribes remaining are the Wolf Clan, the Snake People, and the Winged People. The Winged People are special—they can fly, so they generally avoid tribal disputes. Aside from these three tribes, the others, upon learning of our victory over the Lion Clan, will surely make wise choices."

Sister Qing Ling said: "Then let's follow this plan and see how many tribes come."

That afternoon, large numbers of Centaur warriors departed the City of Miracles carrying letters.

Just two days later, Sister Qing Ling received responses.

Four tribes were willing to submit to the City of Miracles and worship the Lord of Flame.

These four tribes were not strong—each had only about a hundred thousand people, slightly larger than the former Fox Clan.

After these four tribes join, if all relocate into the City of Miracles, its population will reach a million.

Even by the scale of Miracle City, a population of a million is quite terrifying.

The fox woman Sister Qing Ling immediately launched the satellite city plan, preparing to build several satellite cities with ten to twenty thousand people each on the Miracle Wasteland.

The land within the Misty Mountains was also abundant; there, Sister Qing Ling also planned to build several small cities.

Thus, members of certain races could reside in these satellite cities.

But to live inside Miracle City, one must pass trials and screening!

At that time, living and residing in Miracle City would become a special honor!

After the satellite city plan was launched, the four dependent tribes, after receiving food and tools from Miracle City, began constructing their own tribal satellite cities.

These satellite cities were built under the guidance of fox clan "designers"; though slightly smaller in scale, they were not poorly constructed.

A few more days passed, and Sister Qing Ling received a response call from another beastman tribe.

This beastman tribe turned out to be a branch of the wolf clan.

The Snow Wolf Clan.

Thus, across the entire beastman nation, only the Wolf Tribe, the Snake Tribe, and the Winged Tribe remained.

"I never expected they actually defeated the Lion Clan!"

On the great grasslands north of the beastman nation, the wolf clan chieftain gazed southward, his voice tinged with faint awe, saying:

"Chieftain, Miracle City has been acting constantly—aside from the Snake and Winged Tribes, all other tribes have pledged allegiance to them. What should we do?"

A wolfman asked.

The wolf clan chieftain fell silent for a moment, then said: "Let's take it one step at a time. Their power is terrifying—they defeated the once-mighty Lion Clan, and their deity is equally powerful, having defeated the Beast God who once revealed miracles. These two gods may now be waging a divine war in the Heavenly Realm. Let us observe for a while!"
