Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

It must be said, the Behemoths, as the top-level laborers, have construction speeds beyond imagination.

Standing at dozens of meters tall and with a minimum of sixth-tier cultivation, they can dig several meters deep river channels with bare hands.

Hundreds of pounds of boulders are easily moved to strengthen the riverbanks.

In just half a day, several hundred kilometers have already been constructed.

Linglong watched in awe, admiring Zhao Yi’s strategic foresight. If not for his recruitment of these giant beasts, the construction of the New World would not have gone so swiftly.

The bright moon hung in the sky as night fell.

Linglong returned to the Imperial Palace and encountered Miaoyin. Smiling, she asked, "How is the task His Highness entrusted to you?"

Miaoyin’s face showed difficulty as she helplessly shook her head: "Progress is not smooth. Although the Spiritual Energy in the New World is abundant, the people’s bodies can’t be strengthened in a short time. Even soaking in Spirit Lake daily requires time."

"However, this is not the most challenging aspect. Some people have already shown cultivation talents. It’s only a matter of time before the strength of the entire New World improves."

Linglong couldn’t help but ask, "Then what is troubling you? We’ve been in the New World for such a short time, and the pace of development is already far beyond expectations."

"This afternoon, after the Behemoths constructed the artificial river, I thought of a new strategy. By developing it into a canal running through north and south, once the New World’s population grows, development can follow the canal, thus creating the outline of the entire world."

"Then, the cultural and Martial Dao cultivation His Highness has entrusted to you can also continuously spread along the canal, with schools and martial arts halls built along the way."

Hearing this, Miaoyin smiled wryly: "The challenge now isn’t building schools and martial arts halls; the key issue is lacking suitable teachers. Schools are easier to manage, as many knowledgeable people have previously agreed to teach and initiate the children."

"But Martial Dao?"

"Xuanyin Temple has cultivation techniques, but not everyone can practice them. Great Xia is martial-oriented, with countless cultivation techniques among the people. Without proper guidance, many would deviate on the path of Martial Dao, which would be troublesome."

Linglong deeply agreed; this matter cannot be rushed.

The New World’s foundation is not yet stable, and the people have just begun to settle down and enjoy their lives.

If chaos arises now, it will not only affect the populace but also shake everyone’s confidence in building the New World.

Thinking of this, she asked, "How is General Zuo Xiaoluo?"

Miaoyin, aware of what she was thinking, shook her head without hesitation: "Impossible. That one walks the path of slaughter, comprehending the Law of Sword, focused on killing. In the military, it’s feasible, but His Highness’s intention is to prioritize fitness and health early on."

The two of them exchanged glances, realizing the urgency of the situation.

After all, this matter cannot be rushed.

...

Elsewhere.

After Zhao Yi released billions of Spirit Fish into the New World, he flew deep into the ocean with the beasts and the protagonist.

Along the way, he watched the azure surface of the water, a look of seriousness on his face.

Guided by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, he noticed fleeting black Qi in the depths of the unfathomable sea, and at the same time, he saw a small root of the Nether Tree.

Just as he suspected.

Since leaving the Spirit Realm last time, the Nether Tree had begun silently invading the Spirit Realm, ready at any moment to devour the world’s Law Fragments.

Not only that, it would turn the entire world into its nourishment, becoming supplements for its growth.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi felt urgency.

Allowing it to grow without bounds will jeopardize all of the Three Thousand Worlds.

Now he must find the place where the Nether Tree has taken root and see if there’s any way to stop it all.

After days of searching, Zhao Yi found nothing.

The protagonist has followed him tirelessly for days, now exhausted to the extreme.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly are we doing?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him without speaking.

Since finding the place where the Nether Tree has rooted was unsuccessful, it would be better to seize what he wanted before the Spirit Realm vanished.

The Law Fragments are the ultimate goal. For now, he must continuously release various species into the New World.

Over the deep sea, he collected various fish seen along the way. After being nourished by the Spirit Realm for so many years, these fish are all top-quality supplements for the New World’s humans.

Not only this.

There are also various low-level beasts. In the future, these will not only provide food for humans but also ensure the cyclical continuation of species in the New World.

At first, the entire Spirit Realm had not detected his presence.

But when the Spirit Fish disappeared from the ocean, beasts vanished from the land, and even strange fruit trees and mineral gems disappeared altogether, finally someone noticed something was amiss.

Imagine, although the Spirit Realm is vast and boundless, when everything in the whole eastern region disappears within a few short days, everyone realizes something unusual.

As they searched desperately for several days, witnessing Zhao Yi who was single-handedly moving an entire mountain range into the New World, everyone knew they had found the culprit.

"It’s him! The disappearance over these days must be his doing. I just saw him make a mountain full of Meteor Essence disappear into thin air. Who else could it be?"

"Damn! Return my Divine Tree! That’s the Divine Tree my ancestor nurtured for a hundred thousand years, and it’s just about to bear fruit!"

"And all those heavenly treasures, exotic flowers, and herbs—return them to me."

...

Watching the furious crowd, Zhao Yi recalled the Nether Tree had already rooted in this world, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Even if it’s yours, so what?

Despite the Spirit Realm’s formidable powers, the Nether Tree has found this world, and its destruction is only a matter of time.

Among the charging crowd, the highest was only the eleventh tier. Not to mention Zhao Yi taking action, even the protagonist couldn’t be defeated.

Carrying the immense destined fortunes of the protagonist, neither his strength nor the ability to encounter heavenly treasures was just boasting.

After traveling with him for days, he became increasingly convinced of his wise choice. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

With him by his side, it seemed those heavenly treasures didn’t even need searching; they’d randomly appear before their eyes.

Earlier, this mountain filled with Meteor Essence was sensed directly after letting Xu Yue’Er rest shortly, revealing countless Meteor Essence within.

One must know these are top materials for crafting Divine Weapons; just adding a fingernail-sized piece to a weapon increases sharpness by several levels.

Presently.

With countless tons of Meteor Essence underfoot, he inevitably chose to collect them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi looked back at the protagonist, feeling compelled to appreciate the blessing of having such a lucky charm; fortune seemed to follow wherever they went.

And now, those few opposite have charged forward.

Without waiting for Zhao Yi to act, the White Elephant’s several-meter-long trunk swung, and like taking a clobbering blow, the few fell sound asleep.

"Master, maybe they have use for you. Shall I wake them for you to question?"
