Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 590 - 519: Godslaying Banquet and Father of Creation

Since acquiring the Georgia Territory, Aiven has been thinking about the Hurons, who have been under the Kingdom's cultural influence for decades, but he hasn't rushed into action.

He first planted a seed in the heart of Princess Apsuya, and as the situation develops and the strength of both parties changes, that seed will eventually blossom and bear fruit.

On the other hand, the Arawak Clan, which already has a solid foundation of trust, has migrated first.

In the southeastern coastal plain area of the Georgia Territory, designated by Aiven and Olivia as a cotton-growing area, there is plenty of fertile land to accommodate them.

The Arawak people's tradition of hunting made them well-acquainted with the concept of migration.

With the help of mules sent by Aiven, a total of over 5,700 people of all ages established a new camp west of Brunswick Port, just under a day's journey.

At the same time, the establishment of a fixed camp marked the complete departure from their traditional hunting lifestyle, transitioning into a settled farming community.

"Viscount!"

"Deputy Commander!"

"Your Excellency, you have arrived."

Led by the Arawak representatives Zinaro and Paka from the Pirate Gang, Aiven walked into this settlement named "New Hispaniola Town," accompanied by Anita, Olivia, Angie, and Calvin.

Throughout the journey, people constantly greeted Aiven and Anita with salutes.

On the hastily cleared roadsides, young men were cutting wood under the guidance of craftsmen sent by Aiven to construct wooden permanent houses, marking the beginning of a change in lifestyle.

Meanwhile, more people in the tribe were preparing for tonight's banquet, an event that would alter the clan's destiny entirely!

"There are still too few women and children; the Arawak's biggest issue is this unhealthy population structure."

Having already assumed the role of territory manager, Olivia observed the busy people and made her assessment.

"Aren't we here to solve this problem? The more they long for it, the more devout they will be."

Walking beside her, Aiven smiled slightly; sometimes, bad things can turn into good.

Last year.

Over 400 women and children from the Araucan Clan, who had become captives, were sent to Tortuga Island, north of the Golden Sea, slightly balancing the extreme gender imbalance of this exiled clan.

After years of exile, they originally had 5,300 people with a gender ratio of about 7:3, and there were very few newborns. The current situation is already much better than before.

Currently, the total population, including slaves, in all 11 colonies of Phaletis is less than 3 million, and the actual population in the 100,000 square kilometers of the Georgia Territory is less than 200,000.

Although the Arawak Clan has less than 6,000 people, they are a significant addition to the population of the Georgia Territory. Moreover, most of these people who survived in harsh environments are young and middle-aged, quality populations capable of creating value.

As for how to integrate the obviously different ethnic groups among the territory's populace, Viscount Aiven already has a plan; the simplest method is obviously cultural education and faith assimilation.

Take, for example, the "banana people," who, although outwardly still their original ethnicity, have long since had their inner spirit reshaped by others; where does their allegiance lie? It's beyond doubt.

Therefore.

At the first instance of establishing the camp, grammar teachers sent by Aiven had already settled into New Hispaniola Town, with the first task being to popularize a common language.

Both children and adults need to learn it.

And today, being the seventh day since setting up camp, Aiven couldn't wait any longer to come here personally to solve another issue—faith!

Of course, it's not the faith belonging to the "Queen and Goddess of Navigation," but the faith of the "Life Tree."

Since last year, when Zinaro successfully became a "Life Tree Totem Warrior," the tribal chieftain had already begun considering offering the "Life Tree" as their new totem.

For Aiven, this was a great opportunity to achieve two goals.

Not only did he incorporate more population, but he also added firewood to the manifestation of the "Mysterious Source."

Initially, Aiven's attitude was indifferent.

But after obtaining research materials from the "Voodoo Sect" and confirming that the "Great Lord" they worshiped, covering thousands of gods and all things, was the "Mysterious Source" of the "Voodoo School," Aiven's heart started to heat up as well.

Because.

The "Mysterious Source" of the Oldest School "Life Tree School" is one of the mythological origins, the Life Tree that created all living beings.

The ten Original Essences from high to low: "Crown," "Wisdom," "Understanding," "Compassion," "Severity," "Beauty," "Victory," "Radiance," "Foundation," "Kingdom," and the twenty-two Fire Sword Paths connecting the ten Original Essences.

Although the "Life Tree" laid the theoretical foundation for the Mysterious Side of the entire Wizard World, systematizing and standardizing dangerous wizard knowledge, it also infinitely elevated the difficulty of manifesting it.

Even after countless ages, no one has been able to manifest it, and groundbreaking achievements have been few. Aiven doesn't believe he possesses the wisdom to surpass numerous predecessors, so he has to find an alternative route.

Thus.

One needs survival and continuation; the other lacks population and followers; the two sides immediately hit it off!

...

As night gradually enveloped, at the small square established in the center of the camp, all the Arawak tribespeople gathered, including babies in swaddling clothes.
