Chapter 2600 - 2600 Rise of the Sand Island Continent!
2600 Rise of the Sand Island Continent!
In Lin Yuan’s memory, the Sand Island Continent appeared terribly chaotic. Hunger, barrenness, and violence were rampant as the federations continually clashed.
The Sand Island Federation, the mightiest among them, didn’t carry out any governing responsibilities. Their focus lay on devising tactics to harm rival federations and boost their own gains.
The Sand Island Federation embodied the prime antagonist on the continent. Almost every military leader had once led a bandit group.
Upon Lin Yuan’s return to the Sand Island Continent after several months, he noticed a change. Despite poverty and people still lacking proper shelter, they didn’t look as frail, emaciated, or starved as before.
This signified that Su Yiren ensured the people had enough to eat. She hadn’t utilized all the Soldier Ration Radishes he had given her for the Dark Continent, instead allocating some to the Sand Island Continent.
Just like its counterpart, the Dark Continent was also in its initial developmental phase.
After reclaiming the Dark Continent from Seventh Page War, Su Yiren faced a chaotic situation there.
Despite this, she managed to assist in the development of the Sand Island Continent. This showed she took Lin Yuan’s advice seriously.
Presently, it was already a huge win to eliminate starvation from the Sand Island Continent.
In Lin Yuan’s previous visits to the Sand Island Continent, he witnessed people weakly staggering through the streets, often collapsing due to hunger. Sadly, they never regained consciousness.
Their frail bodies made them vulnerable, and the other starving individuals didn’t assist those who fainted. With fewer rivals, they could secure more resources. This created a hostile environment among the homeless, each perceiving the other as a foe.
During the sunset, an unusual sight caught Lin Yuan’s attention. A substantial line of people formed outside a large white tent, adjacent to which stood a statue of Lin Yuan himself.
It became evident to Lin Yuan that these people were either channeling faith power to him or were connected through faith, likely to become his followers in the future.
Lin Yuan had not given Su Yiren any instructions relating to this. It was likely she had done this because she had experienced developing the Iron Hammer Federation with Luo Lan.
He had given Luo Lan such an instruction, yet he had not expected Su Yiren to apply it to the Sand Island Continent as well.
Lin Yuan had come to the Sand Island Continent to check on how it was progressing.
These few days would be part of the small pockets of time that Lin Yuan allowed himself to rest.
Lin Yuan instructed Eternal Source to stop while he put on the Faceless Paper and watched the homeless people enter the white tent, where they received the leaves of the Soldier Ration Radish.
One Soldier Ration Radish leaf could provide a person with energy for ten days while leaving them feeling full for five days.
Su Yiren wanted to save the Sand Island Continent, so she needed to use her resources in the most efficient manner. As such, she cut one Soldier Ration Radish leaf into ten and allowed people to enter the tent every day at sunset to claim one small piece. They also had to eat the leaf under the watchful eye of her staff!
Su Yiren did this to help with her management of the Sand Island Continent, as well as to protect these homeless people.
If they were not watched while they ate the Soldier Ration Radish leaf, they would hoard it as per their nature. Hoarding food was not a bad thing. But one had to have sufficient strength to protect one’s hoard. It was clear that these homeless people did not have such strength!
Lin Yuan had assigned the task to Su Yiren. She wanted to prevent chaos on the Sand Island Continent while she managed it. Chaotic situations might make Lin Yuan doubt her abilities.
Su Yiren belonged to the Astronomical Parliament. She was the first member to meet Lin Yuan in person and was also one of his closest aides in the Startling Lines Continent. He relied on her significantly.
Due to this, Su Yiren believed she held more importance compared to other Astronomical Parliament members. However, as she spent more time with Lin Yuan, she realized he valued each member equally.
The number of talented individuals on Lin Yuan’s side was only increasing, especially those at the Dictator level.
After spending time with them, Su Yiren realized they were all very smart. This made her feel even more nervous and stressed.
She feared a single mistake could get her kicked out of Lin Yuan’s main group. So, while she was recovering the Dark Continent, she didn’t forget about the Sand Island Continent.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan saw a thin woman rushing into the white tent. She was carrying a young girl, maybe around four or five years old. The woman’s swift movement, even while carrying the girl, showed she was quite strong.
The girl didn’t look sickly—her face was actually rosy. It seemed like she was getting enough food.
Lin Yuan then noticed the young girl’s right leg was wrapped in gauze. Black, foul-smelling blood was dripping from it, likely due to a poisonous insect bite.
Normally, if an average person or someone without a home got bitten by a poisonous insect on the Sand Island Continent, they would be in big trouble.
As the woman entered the tent with the girl, she explained what had happened.
A middle-aged man soon emerged from the tent. He guided the woman to a green tent nearby, which also had a statue of Lin Yuan beside it.
The woman walked out of the green tent with the girl in less than half an hour.
Although the girl’s leg was still wrapped up, it wasn’t bleeding black anymore. She was awake and seemed eager to get down and walk on her own.
The middle-aged man walked out of the tent and guided the woman and girl to bow to the statue of Lin Yuan.
The woman sincerely knelt and paid her respects before setting the girl down.
Although the girl’s leg was injured, the woman still made her kneel at the statue.
The young girl was very timid and still knew nothing of the world.
