Chapter 3047: Another Visit to the Kingdom of Radiance
The current Daxia Divine Kingdom is still just a prototype, its size only equivalent to a small town in the Main Plane, or perhaps even less; under Mark's guidance, Xia Duo soon met the village chief of the Divine Kingdom, Yalun.
"Yalun, long time no see!"
Along with Yalun was Sikabeilumu, also a Reincarnator whom Xia Duo had encountered here early on, and who, like Mark, had been a citizen of Daxia Territory during their lifetime.
As for the four Yalun brothers, Xia Duo did not know who they were in their past lives, but that did not prevent everyone from eventually coming together to build a New Homeland.
"Lord, you haven't been here for a long time."
Although Yalun used an honorific, the title sounded more like the name of an old friend coming from his mouth; in truth, Yalun really didn't know what a "Lord" meant at first, and it was only after more Reincarnators from Daxia Territory arrived that he gradually understood the true meaning of the title.
But the Daxia Divine Kingdom was a New Homeland gathered based on the same philosophy, and there was no concept of hierarchy like in the Main Plane; the so-called "Lord" here was closer to a pioneer, a role model, or a leader—it was a duty and an identity, not a status or a privilege.
This actually aligned with Xia Duo's wishes; the reason he was still called "Lord" was mainly because there were too many Reincarnators from Daxia Territory who were used to calling him that, so he did not refuse.
"A lot of people have come to the village while I was away! Is there enough food? I brought you plenty of tools this time."
As he spoke, Xia Duo took out the various tools he had prepared in advance, mainly farming implements, to first address the food issue in the Divine Kingdom village.
After the pleasantries, Xia Duo asked about the development of the Divine Kingdom village during his absence; Yalun answered one by one and said, "There are fewer and fewer Reincarnators, but everything is proceeding in an orderly manner."
A yellow-green boundary line stretched from the right side of his field of vision to the left.
Holy Light Divine Envoys, like the Reincarnators, also possess autonomous consciousness; it is rumored that they are formed from infants who died before receiving the Holy Light Baptism, though Xia Duo does not know if it is true.
If someone with a heavy heart hears such singing, they will likely feel their mood brighten. (Treating the symptoms, not the root cause~)
……
……
The orientation of the Licheng Weimian is uncertain, but if one must use directions to describe it, the Daxia Divine Kingdom is located roughly between the Kingdom of Radiance and the Princess's Netheril Divine Kingdom.
"That's good."
Entering the boundary of the Kingdom of Radiance, Xia Duo soon encountered a squad of Holy Light Divine Envoys; these light-cluster-like envoys were very mischievous, circling above his head and singing—
He had some understanding of the general situation here, just not in great detail.
Furthermore, Celestial Barley is a ready-made recovery medicine when taken to the Main Plane, capable of restoring a Spellcaster's energy and relieving spellcasting fatigue; any surplus produced by the Divine Kingdom village could also be exported to the Main Plane.
Of course, it wasn't about trading tools for local specialties, but supporting the village's construction and then collecting taxes; all systems were modeled after Daxia Territory in the Main Plane, and these were things the Reincarnators could accept.
If they couldn't, they wouldn't have been able to reincarnate here.
"Not for the time being."
Stepping onto the Endless Wilderness once more, the name "Endless" was no mere fantasy; even though Xia Duo had left the Endless Wilderness before and traveled to other parts of the Licheng Weimian, it did not mean he had walked across the entire Endless Wilderness.
On this point, Xia Duo did not hide his intentions; as early as the last time he brought tools here, he had made it clear to Yalun and the others.
Or rather, wherever the sun can be seen belongs to the radiation range of the Lord of Radiance's power; the Daxia Divine Kingdom and the Netheril Divine Kingdom are both within this range.
As for the Elf Divine Kingdom, it is roughly to the south of the Kingdom of Radiance; such a distribution also subtly reveals the differences in the philosophies of these divine kingdoms.
Actually, Xia Duo asked these questions more to stimulate the emergence of Yalun's autonomous consciousness; even though he had been busy for the past half-year, he surely had time to at least glance at the real-time images of the Divine Kingdom village around his Soul!
The flow of time in the Licheng Weimian is uncertain, so he must seize the time.
And now, the Kingdom of Radiance is still at war with the Eternal Night Abyss; perhaps in a few years, the Lord of Radiance will be able to redeem another piece of the Shenyuan Zhidi.
This place is essentially a gathering place for "good citizens," and some order is established spontaneously without even needing Xia Duo's reminders.
But one thing is certain: Holy Light Divine Envoys are very popular in the Kingdom of Radiance; almost no one dislikes them.
Outside the boundary, it is desolate, while inside, there are crisscrossing paths and countless fertile fields—a scene full of vitality.
If Daxia Territory in the Main Plane could be this worry-free, then why worry about not being able to build the Ziyou Wangguo!
Even Xia Duo could not bring himself to feel annoyance; although these Holy Light Divine Envoys were a bit mischievous, they were not noisy, and their singing was quite melodic, giving one a feeling of blooming.
……
Such a person, if placed in the Kingdom of Radiance, would be a proper candidate for a Divine Envoy; even if they didn't become an envoy, their development would be limitless.
Such great power is something the Main Plane could never compare to even if combined; after all, Xia Duo had been to the Abyss himself and seen the battle between Divine Envoys and demons with his own eyes—he had long had personal experience of what the Abyss and demons were like.
Once the other party awakens, they will be able to adapt to local conditions and create new systems more suitable for the Divine Kingdom village; although they will not deviate from the main purpose of Daxia's order, they will optimize many details.
At present, the only thing lacking in the Divine Kingdom village might be some issues of autonomy; this world is not unchanging, and it is impossible for any single system to cover everything.
Of course, this does not mean the Kingdom of Radiance is limited to what is within the boundary; strictly speaking, the entire Endless Wilderness is considered part of the Kingdom of Radiance.
"Have you encountered any problems with the village's development?"
Because of this, every time he stepped onto this boundlessly vast land, Xia Duo was shocked by the great power of the Lord of Radiance; this former Shenyuan Zhidi had turned into its current state under the redemption of the Lord of Radiance.
However, this is not something that needs to be considered in the short term; the Divine Kingdom village doesn't even have many Reincarnators with autonomous consciousness, so how can one talk about autonomous development?
At least with his current abilities, he couldn't even touch the edge of the Endless Wilderness.
Xia Duo did not stay long in the Daxia Divine Kingdom before hurrying away; he had not forgotten the true purpose of this trip—he was not here to deliver farming tools to Yalun, but to go to the Kingdom of Radiance to investigate the Darkness Society.
"Holy, holy, traveler, we meet again."
With such feelings, Xia Duo sincerely recited the Proverbs praising the Lord of Radiance; with his body and mind so in tune, he soon saw the edge of the Kingdom of Radiance—
For example, seeing Yalun again this time, he discovered that the other's demeanor seemed to have become more vivid, as if they were about to awaken true autonomous consciousness, no longer just a robot with fixed behavioral patterns.
Although these Reincarnators could survive without eating (though it would shorten their lifespan), if there is food to eat, why not?
Although the vitality is not flourishing, there is not a trace of Abyssal Aura.
Modeling it entirely after the Daxia Territory of the Main Plane will not cause any problems in the short term, but in the long term, the system construction here will always lag behind the Main Plane; as the Divine Kingdom village gradually catches up to the Main Plane, the backwardness of the system might limit the development of the Divine Kingdom.
