System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

However, times have changed, and the scene before us is completely different from what it used to be.

The four powerful clans, including the Ruan family, who once dominated Qushan, have long been wiped out by the tides of time, leaving only a trace.

Today, on this vast and boundless land, the branches of the Jiang clan and the Longxia tribe are like newly born sparks, taking root and spreading, bringing new life to the barren land that was once ruled by the four overlords.

The warship hovered thousands of meters above the sky, like a mysterious giant bird, sometimes silently disappearing into the thick, dense clouds, and sometimes roaring forward, crushing layers of air currents with overwhelming force.

Before long, the guards standing on the deck of the warship all turned their gazes downwards.

The disputed area, once firmly controlled by the four hegemons, has now sprouted up vast tracts of fertile land. The irrigation canals, crisscrossing the fields, resemble agile dragons, winding their way through the landscape.

Upon closer inspection, the banks of many canals were still covered with wet, blackish mud, carrying a fresh, earthy smell, clearly indicating that they had been painstakingly dug and hastily put into use recently.

"How could so many well-maintained fertile fields suddenly appear out of nowhere in this barren, desolate place?" A guard couldn't help but click his tongue, his face full of disbelief.

“Look at those ordinary people working in the fields, men, women, young and old, all working together, their faces beaming with simple and contented smiles. It’s amazing!” someone else chimed in, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Everyone chimed in with their own thoughts, and Yin Yi followed their gaze, looking down at the earth below.

Amidst the vast expanse of fertile fields, ordinary people bustle about, chatting and laughing—a lively and harmonious scene of labor.

Yin Yi couldn't help but sigh softly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it if anyone had told me about this place. In the past, in those remote and desolate places, the lives of ordinary people were incredibly miserable. Most of them were emaciated, skin and bones, and many tribes had only a few dozen or a hundred people in total. They could only barely survive by hunting and eating raw meat every day. But look at this place, these ordinary people not only wear silk, but they can even drive weak demon beasts to help plow the fields and cultivate the land. It's truly bizarre!"

"Brother, take a closer look at that body of water." A tall, burly man with sharp eyes seemed to have noticed something and pointed to a vast body of water not far from the fertile fields below.

Upon hearing the sound, Yin Yi and the others turned to look. With their extraordinary and saintly strength, even from a great distance, they could keenly sense that there were no fewer than five innate realm demons lurking in that swamp with just a little concentration.

These minor demons were like ants in their eyes, easily destroyed with a flick of their wrists.

But for those powerless mortals below, it was a terrifying presence that could bring annihilation.

"When mortals encounter demonic beasts, even the lowest-level acquired demonic beasts, it takes dozens or even hundreds of men from the tribes to take up arms and unite to have any chance of holding them off for a while."

Yin Yi frowned, his gaze fixed on the mortals who were diligently farming not far from the Great Swamp, filled with confusion. "These demons lurking in the Great Swamp not only haven't shown any ferocity to devour living beings, but even the mortals don't seem to be afraid of this Great Swamp anymore?"

Just as everyone was filled with amazement and doubt, whispering among themselves, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dozen or so acres of rice paddies near the swamp below.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl who looked about four or five years old, with a cute topknot and wearing a red bib, suddenly emerged from the rice paddy like a nimble little monkey.

This little girl is so clever and mischievous. After sneaking out of the rice paddy, she didn't forget to make an exaggerated face at her parents who were still busy harvesting, making the old people around her laugh out loud.
