Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 938: Talk
After wasting a bunch of time explaining about the existence of the woman in the darkness, Rain finally had time to think about that… to make the vessel move, he had two options. Make the domain harness mana from everyone inside, or he could create some magic propulsors that would work in the same manner as real propulsors…
Engineering wasn't one of Rain's talents, but he had to consider thinking of that if he couldn't pull off the means to dragon mana of all the people inside a domain. In any case, for that to work, they would need on the same level as dragon cores and they didn't have many of those. Still, the enemies were super powerful ice dragons, they should have them.
"Maybe I should just put some chains on the dragons necks and force them to pull the island across the cosmos," Rain thought.
"That would be something to see…" Nigel said.
"None of guys said anything against the idea of leaving the planet, even though you guys fought until the end to protect it," Rain said. "Why is that?"
"We died once and that is that, we can't have any other else attachments aside from wishing to kill the dragons," Larisa explained. "Technically, you died once too, so it would be unreasonable to demand anything more from you. Besides, as long as there is life, there is hope. Perhaps you guys will be able to return and reclaim Earth… if you are truly forced to leave. That isn't certain yet."
Larisa's words resonated with Rain, making him reflect deeply on his past experiences. He acknowledged that facing the challenge head-on before hadn't given him the desired outcome. While he valiantly protected those dear to him, it hadn't resolved the overarching issue and had, in turn, burdened them with immense responsibility.
This realization weighed heavily on Rain's mind, emphasizing the futility of solely confronting a problem without a viable solution. It also highlighted the importance of solidarity and collective effort in overcoming challenges. Rain was resolute in his decision that if they were to escape, they would do so together as a cohesive unit.
Their collective strength and determination would pave the way for finding a solution to the grave situation… it didn't matter how long it takes.
While everyone were setting their tents around, Rain began to think of how they could escape if they didn't have any other option. He imagined that they would have at least thirty thousand people on their side… those were those who lived with his grandparents, Branden, Esmeralda, and half of the sea folk. It was quite the large number…
They would need enough room to live properly, sharpen their skills to be able to defend themselves, and produce food as well. The amount of land required to produce enough food for one person for a year can vary significantly based on various factors such as the type of food grown, climate, agricultural practices, and individual dietary needs.
On average, it's estimated that an individual requires around 1/4 to 1/2 acre of land to grow enough food to sustain themselves for a year, but this can change based on factors like, diet, crop selecection, climate, and soil, and agricultural techniques.

A vegetarian or vegan diet might require less land than a diet that includes a significant amount of meat.Certain crops are more space-efficient and yield more calories or nutrients per acre compared to others. Factors such as soil fertility and the climate of the area affect crop productivity. Advanced techniques like vertical farming, hydroponics, or permaculture can increase yield per unit area.
"Magic can make things insanely efficient, but not everyone have the skills to do that, so perhaps we need around one tenth acre of land just for food," Rain thought. "We also would need enough water for the sea folk to live… a small lake wouldn't cut it. Add places for relaxing and training… and we might as well be talking about a small planet here."
Making something of that size wasn't completely impossible with the people they had on their side… they didn't have to make everything all at once either. The real important thing was to improve their chances of survival and then improve everything else once they have the chance once they have the time to do so.
In the evening, as the group gathered once more at the sea folk commander's tent, Rain was surprised to see some familiar yet unexpected faces among them. One was the owl man he had encountered previously, someone Rain had seen during his participation in matches against demi humans for their relics.
The other was Luna, the rabbit woman whose acquaintance Rain had made at that time as well by defeating her.
Additionally, two new faces stood out among them. These individuals were demi humans as well, but they were unfamiliar to Rain, suggesting that they were among the strongest warriors of their land due to their robust appearance and aura, Isa also mentioned them briefly..
One of the newcomers bore the resemblance of a sabertooth, exuding strength and ferocity in his appearance. The other, although appearing slender and not overtly muscular, emanated an air of confidence that caught Rain's attention. Notably, the man's arms were covered in vibrant and colorful fur, adding to his distinct and unique appearance.
The unexpected presence of these individuals piqued Rain's curiosity, as he speculated on their role and significance among the demi humans. Their arrival hinted at the possibility of forging new alliances. For some reason, Rain was feeling quite hopeful…
"My name is Regis, and I have come representing the elders of our people," The owl man said. "Usually, I wouldn't meet unknown people, but I have heard that you all are connected in some way to the sea empress and the subject of the conversation made me curious as well, so it is pleasure to meet you all."
"We don't have time to waste, old man," Isa said. "So, don't try to act like you don't know the dangers that we are about to face."
