"Great Saint."

A figure bowed and said to Sun Wukong, "The Jade Emperor has chosen the Eastern Continent."

"It should be so."

Sun Wukong nodded.

The Jade Emperor has finally started to act, opting to start operations in the Eastern Continent, which was inevitable.

Almost all of the Southern Continent was under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and since the Heavenly Rules forbade interference with the earthly governments, the Jade Emperor could only start with the Eastern Continent.

It was just that he delayed for a year, allowing Sun Wukong to see his concern for the Southern Continent.

"It's a pity, that shouldn't be for you..."

Sun Wukong thought to himself.

The Southern Continent still had a national fortune that would last over a hundred years. After a hundred years, the restraints of the Heavenly Rules would disappear, and the Jade Emperor would definitely intervene.

By then, he and Buddha would surely not be absent.

"Has Buddha made any move?"

Sun Wukong asked again.

"Not yet."

The figure replied.

"I see."

Sun Wukong nodded, and the figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

After he vanished, Ao Luan entered the room.

"Brother, who was that?"

She asked.

"A chess piece."

Sun Wukong replied.

Although the time was brief, he had successfully found a chess piece within the Heavenly Palace.

Similarly, there were also chess pieces from the Heavenly Palace in Wanling City.

As expected—Buddha wasn't absent either.

"Let's go meet the Great Fox King."

Sun Wukong said.

A year was about to pass, and Wanling City was already taking shape.

The Great Fox King and Lady Rakshasa, under the guidance of Sun Wukong, had set a plan for the next ten years.

They reported the details of the planning to Sun Wukong and Ao Luan.

The first ten years were defined as a transitional period, mainly focusing on two plans.

The first was to concentrate the main forces on the construction and expansion of Wanling City, achieving breakthroughs in key technological projects, advancing the transformation of various fields and systems in Wanling City, and implementing the technology transfer from Huaguo Mountain.

"This plan is too conservative."

Ao Luan couldn't help but comment after hearing the first plan.

Achieving breakthroughs in some key technological projects was a well-designed point.

For example, the musical notes, which had been improved by Elder Golden Cicada, had already seen significant progress, and within the ten-year transition plan, Wanling Country must achieve designated object sound note exchanges and widespread implementation.

For instance, in terms of transportation, Wanling Country needed to continuously improve flying cars, manufacture more than five floating spaceships, and also devise research for another type of mass, rapid transportation tool.

Another example was expanding the coverage and technological breakthroughs of the Spiritual Network, where most of the plans had reached Ao Luan's expectations.

However, in other aspects, especially in city building, the Great Fox King only wanted to expand Wanling City, which greatly disappointed Ao Luan.

She thought more cities could be built and even hoped to establish the first floating city in Wanling Country.

Ao Luan shared her ideas with the Great Fox King.

The Great Fox King sighed, "Miss Ao Luan, this is not Huaguo Mountain; you seem to have forgotten that we lack population."

The second plan they devised was regarding the population issue.

Now, Wanling Country only had a population of two hundred thousand. What could two hundred thousand people accomplish?

The wealth and technology of Huaguo Mountain could support the construction of multiple cities in Wanling Country, but there simply weren't enough people to live in them.

Population was of utmost importance; due to population constraints, large-scale city development had to be temporarily halted to focus on the expansion of important technologies.

"We need to build a second city, which will require at least a million people."

The Great Fox King stated, knowing that the design capacity of a single city in Wanling City was already close to a million.

A million people—that was the second plan for the next ten years.

"From two hundred thousand to a million?"

Ao Luan's way of thinking was completely overturned.

Back when she controlled Huaguo Mountain, decades were spent limiting immigration.

As soon as she arrived here, while the territory suddenly became so vast, the number of people became very, very small, turning into a significant issue.

"Fox King."

Ao Luan looked at the Great Fox King, "How do we increase the population by eight hundred thousand?"

"In the next ten years, we will migrate three hundred thousand people from Huaguo Mountain here."

The Great Fox King said.

Ao Luan was shocked: "Three hundred thousand?"

Nearly two hundred thousand people had migrated from Huaguo Mountain, which was already the limit.

If another three hundred thousand were added, more than half of the population of Huaguo Mountain would disappear once it was emptied, surely leading to a collapse.

"Brother."

Ao Luan looked towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong shook his head: "Rest assured, this won't be a one-time migration."

"Three hundred thousand is a carefully calculated figure."

The Fox King said, considering the talent cultivation speed of Huaguo Mountain, fewer than twenty thousand people would migrate each year.

"Of these three hundred thousand, some will also be sought from the Kingdom of Aolai, aiming to minimize the impact on Huaguo Mountain."

The Fox King added lastly.

Ao Luan immediately understood.

For a long time, the Kingdom of Aolai had been the transfer station of the Four Great Continents for Huaguo Mountain, gathering a large number of talents. Those who had longed for Huaguo Mountain but had no opportunity, would now certainly be willing to come to Wanling Country.

"And what about the other five hundred thousand?"

Ao Luan continued to ask.

Combined with the immigrants from Huaguo Mountain, Wanling Country's population would be just five hundred thousand after ten years.

"Another five hundred thousand, I will open the passage for humans from the Western Continent to come."

Sun Wukong said.

"That is impossible."

Ao Luan shook her head, not to discourage Sun Wukong, but because the Western Continent, being vast and sparsely populated, could not possibly supply so many people.

Moreover, given Wanling Country's current reputation, attracting two hundred thousand people over ten years would already be a miracle.

"There are challenges, but it's not impossible."

Sun Wukong said: "We will intensify our external propaganda."

Ao Luan immediately thought of musical notes.

Before she could think it through, Sun Wukong had already passed through the Fox King's planning.

After the ten-year plan was established, the next day, all immortals and demons were summoned.

They gathered at Wanling Hall, listening to the plans for the next ten years.

"This is somewhat conservative."

Many immortals thought to themselves that, aside from the population being a major issue, other goals were not unattainable.

This showed how cautious Sun Wukong was in starting things.

With no further doubts among the people, Sun Wukong held a banquet in Wanling Hall to celebrate the completion of the previous phase.

As the banquet reached its climax, Sun Wukong suddenly sighed.

Everyone stopped eating and drinking, turning their gaze towards him.

"Brother." Ao Luan asked: "What are you about to say?"

"One can't make an array alone, a single tree doesn't make a forest."

Sun Wukong spoke thus.

"I have an idea…"

He raised his head, addressing everyone: "Let's have more children!"

"Pff…"

Many spat out the food in their mouths.

The immortals also started coughing.

"Great Saint, this joke isn't funny!"

They said.

"This is no joke."

Sun Wukong replied: "If we want to reach a population of fifty million within a hundred years, we must encourage childbirth."

The Four Great Continents couldn't possibly supply so many people.

"Matchmaking God."

Sun Wukong turned to look at the visiting Matchmaking God.

"I understand."

The Matchmaking God smiled and stood up, saying: "If any noble immortals wish, I can help find suitable partners."

The immortals shook their heads.

What a joke, they were not in the mood for that.

However, some demons were delighted.

"Great King."

The Bear Demon King immediately stood up and said: "Since you say so, why not match me with someone; I guarantee to father twenty bear-deer."

Sun Wukong glanced at him.

"Chase her yourself."

While encouraging childbirth, he had no intention of forcing it.
