Chapter 823: About the Ten Thousand Demons Continent
Moreover…
Wasn't it said that the transferees on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent were all the top forces of various nations?
Why could Ling Zhan still see many ordinary transferees at level 40 or 50 on the streets?
"Mr. Ling Zhan, regarding everything about the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, you can now connect to the local network and check the research documents yourself."
"After such a long journey, you must be tired today. We have already prepared comfortable accommodations for you and all esteemed guests. Please rest for a day and head to Ether City tomorrow."
The staff responsible for welcoming the top powerhouses from the battleship maintained a very polite and respectful smile.
The main reason was that the spatial teleportation array here only opened once per day.
Arriving at his accommodation.
Ling Zhan turned on the computer, connected to the local network, and after obtaining access, he began reading the information and documents about the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.
He read for more than an hour.
By then, Ling Zhan had thoroughly understood the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.
The Ten Thousand Demons Continent had existed since the beginning of the world's cataclysm.
The monsters from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons used this place as a springboard to completely annihilate the once-thriving Grassland Kingdom.
The former Grassland Kingdom was, in fact, what is now the Holy Continent.
Initially, humanity suffered a series of crushing defeats.
It was said that at the most dangerous and dire moment, the army of the Ten Thousand Demons had already reached the borders of the Dragon Kingdom.
The crisis of annihilation loomed over every citizen of the Dragon Kingdom.
Fortunately, during those six months of crisis, several exceptional individuals emerged, preventing the collapse of civilization.
Over the next eight years, under the leadership of those outstanding figures, the Dragon Kingdom pushed back the army of the Ten Thousand Demons, gaining precious time to recover.
Of course…
This was also because the army of the Ten Thousand Demons was not fully prepared.
At that time, the invasion force was led by only two Demon Emperors.
And the number of demonic creatures was not large.
In reality.
It was likely just an initial test invasion by the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
The creatures of the abyss probably never expected such an easy conquest— wiping out the Grassland Kingdom and nearly overwhelming the Dragon Kingdom in one swift move.
But in the end, due to a lack of sufficient troops and the emergence of several outstanding human geniuses,
The two Demon Emperors had no choice but to temporarily retreat.
The next few years of respite.
Allowed all nations and races to develop rapidly.
Compared to the monsters and other races, humans may have been naturally weaker in raw power.
But in terms of intelligence, humanity was the smartest.
Thus, humans quickly figured out how to survive in this transferee world and expanded countless paths to grow stronger.
The rise of humanity became unstoppable.
When the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons finally launched a full-scale invasion with billions of monsters, descending upon the ruins of the Grassland Kingdom in an attempt to consume the entire world,
They were shocked to find that the armies of transferees from all nations and races had also arrived on the battlefield.
A massive war broke out immediately.
Fortunately, the final outcome was a costly victory for humanity.
Recognizing the strategic importance of the Grassland Kingdom's territory, the nations immediately established defensive lines there after temporarily repelling the demonic forces.
Over time, it evolved into the Holy Continent.
Today.
As the transferee forces of various nations continued to grow stronger, even against the terrifying creatures of the Ten Thousand Demons, they had gained the power to fight back.
And the counteroffensive had already begun.
A hundred years ago, humanity successfully invaded the Sky Blue Isle— now known as the Ten Thousand Demons Continent— and established numerous military fortifications here.
Of course…
Even to this day, no army dared to assume they had the upper hand against the forces of the Ten Thousand Demons.
Everyone knew that the Final War would come sooner or later.
When that day arrived.
If every monster within the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons surged out at once, could the armies of humanity withstand them?
No one knew the answer to that question.
That was why the armies of all nations had poured everything they had into securing this continent.
Because of this.
The concept of "native-born inhabitants" began to emerge here.
These so-called "natives" were the descendants of transferees who had followed the armies here in the past to fight.
Furthermore…
The national armies stationed on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent actively encouraged global corporations, merchants, and independent transferees to settle here.
"The world hustles and bustles for profit."
"The world moves and shakes for gain."
The influx of top transferees seeking training and challenges made this land an irresistible opportunity for businesses and merchants.
More importantly…
To bolster frontline combat power, the armies of various nations issued numerous policies, opening a "green channel" for all transferees.
In your home country, forget about elite transferee schools— you might not even be able to afford a public transferee academy, right?
No worries, come to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent! Get married and have children here! We provide free housing and education!
Were you broke and penniless before?
That's fine too! Come work here! The wages here are ten times— no, a hundred times— higher than outside!
Instead of continuously shipping in combatants via warships,
Why not simply "grow" combatants here, like crops?
With a population surplus, there would never be a shortage of soldiers.
What left Ling Zhan utterly speechless was…
The Ten Thousand Demons Continent now even arranged marriages for its citizens.
Of course, it wasn't mandatory.
It was merely an option.
Each nation would match its citizens with partners of equal status and compatibility.
If a match was successful, the government would provide generous subsidies and benefits.
Finding your own partner was also an option.
But if you chose to find a partner independently, you wouldn't receive these benefits.
So…
After Ling Zhan connected to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent's network and logged in, the most common advertisements he saw were about arranged marriages.
To boost the birthrate and fill the ranks of combat forces, the nations were doing everything they could.
There was no other choice.
Preparing for the impending Final War meant maximizing the power of all transferees.
If they lost the Final War.
Then every nation and race across the world would be completely erased.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Had I known that literally anyone could apply to move to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, I wouldn't have wasted so much time in the Holy Continent..."
Ling Zhan couldn't help but shake his head in exasperation.
The reason he hadn't come to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent earlier was because he worried he wasn't high-level or strong enough.
Only after leveling up, bringing his contract-bound divine beasts, and equipping himself with sacred weapons did he feel ready to step foot here.
Yet now he discovered that anyone could apply, and as long as they were a normal person, they'd be approved.
No wonder such a dangerous place was also so bustling and prosperous.
Hmm...
Maybe these people had simply figured it out.
If the defenses of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent fell, then every living being on the planet would die— sooner or later.
So why not just live here? The benefits and treatment were excellent, and if death came, so be it. At least they could enjoy life while it lasted, since the others would die eventually too.
It had to be said, the people here truly understood how to live.
