Once everyone had their own autonomous territory, the next step was naturally to build it.
Consequently, everyone simultaneously issued announcements to recall their clan members to help with the construction.
This was normal enough, but other races who hadn't participated in the previous discussions saw these announcements and followed suit, one after another.
The Witch race, Titan race, Forest Elves, Merfolk, Phantom Mist Vampires, and even Medusae that no one recognized...
Regardless of what they were actually planning, everyone else just went all-in and followed their lead.
After all, just look at which races were heading the charge.
Most of them were among the first few major races.
If they were starting something, following them couldn't be wrong.
Previously, when various races demanded autonomous territories, the Supreme Council had agreed to grant them one by one to demonstrate its own 'authority' and 'legitimacy.'
Initially, the members of the Supreme Council were baffled as to why Council President Durandal had agreed to Lan Qingyou's 'blackmail.'
But looking at it now, this large-scale 'enfeoffment' had significantly solidified the legitimacy of the Supreme Council.
Thus, the council members were even more satisfied with Durandal, even praising his wisdom and vision.
To be honest, Durandal had originally become the Council President because he was the greatest common denominator among the various council members.
But with this move, everyone was thoroughly convinced of his leadership.
Even Chu Yuan felt the same.
However, that was an internal matter for the Supreme Council.
To the outside world, the significance of these autonomous territories was extraordinary.
Setting aside those organizations that had claimed territory without the Supreme Council's recognition, let's look at individuals or small groups huddling together for warmth.
When they saw that the various races—whom they previously hadn't known where to find—now had their own territories, they naturally migrated toward the races they liked.
Whether it was for work, living, or learning, wouldn't it be much more convenient?
What?
You ask what they would learn?
Well... the unique knowledge of each race, of course!
One must realize that compared to ordinary Blue Star transmigrators, these evolved beings possessed a unique advantage in learning Kalim's knowledge.
For instance, the machinery of the Titan race, the magic of the Man-Demon race, the potions of the Witch race, the agriculture of the Forest Elves, the animal husbandry of the Succubus race, and so on...
As a result, these people were leagues ahead in terms of knowledge.
And all the newcomers had to do was stand on the shoulders of giants to peer into the distance.
Evolution items were merely incidental bonuses; obtaining them was ideal, but they were often seen as an unreachable luxury.
Learning knowledge, however, was different. It was something everyone could do, and the major races used the promise of 'if you come, you will be taught' as a way to attract population.
Under this philosophy, when transmigrators heard that there was a Witch Academy in the Witch's Forest that systematically taught witches and other students potion-making and alchemy, they flocked to this place—even though it was a land once mired in rumors.
Consequently, in the second month, the Witch's Forest—a place previously slandered by rumors—welcomed a period of population explosion.
The numbers swelled from an initial tens of thousands to between eight and nine hundred thousand.
And that wasn't even counting the witches.
Ever since Susie and the others began distributing the Witch potions according to the list, the number of witches had also exploded.
From just over ten thousand, the population had jumped to over two hundred and ten thousand.
This forced Diana to consult with Lan Qingyou and accelerate the construction of the Abandoned City and Abandoned Harbor to divert the population.
And this growth occurred in the span of just one month.
One has to admit, magic is truly convenient.
Oh, and then there was the dividend of population growth.
To be honest, if not for the restrictions of the region and the Supreme Council, this growth would likely have been even more terrifying.
No...
It shouldn't be called a restriction.
It was more like... rumors.
Only this time, the rumors were more malicious, more specific, and more unscrupulous than before.
Currently, on the world channel, the regional channels, the Adventurers' Guild channel, and even the card groups of various organizations, the following rumor was circulating:
【These individuals calling themselves evolved beings may look powerful, but in reality, these so-called 'evolved beings' can no longer be called human;】
【They are merely heretics who have strayed from the path of noble humanity;】
【They are non-human entities;】
【They are low-level demi-humans;】
【They are filthy creatures cursed by evil gods!】
The slander generally followed that pattern.
It seemed so idiotic that it almost had a comedic element to it, but on a global scale, a surprising number of people actually believed it!
When Lan Qingyou first discovered this issue, she was utterly perplexed.
It wasn't until she asked in the group that she learned it was because 'miracles' had already appeared in this world—namely, the manifestation of the world consciousness.
Thus, those who had originally believed in various gods on Blue Star immediately transferred their faith to the world consciousness.
They even claimed that 'the world consciousness is the very god they worshiped on Blue Star.'
Otherwise, why would the world consciousness have transported them to the Kalim continent!
It was saving them from Blue Star, saving them from the control of the Blue Star Federation!
While this narrative didn't explain why they were sent to a magic-filled continent teeming with danger, it was at least logically self-consistent. Thus, it attracted many people in a short time.
They even formed an organization called the 'Sacred Domain,' claiming they would eliminate these heretics.
Although Lan Qingyou could rack her brain and still not figure out how a group of people without attribute corrections intended to eliminate millions of evolved heretics, still...
Just as Vivian had predicted, the pretext for racial conflict had arrived, hadn't it?
And seeing as the group immediately announced its support for the Supreme Council upon its founding, any fool could see who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
However...
Lan Qingyou could understand the Supreme Council's approach.
After all, if things continued this way, the seemingly large population of ten billion would likely be swallowed up bit by bit by these new races.
It might seem like there weren't many new races.
But according to the Supreme Council's statistics, there were already over a hundred new races that they knew of.
As for those they hadn't tallied, or those hiding their existence, who knew how many more there were.
If each race carved off several million or ten million people, before long, the Supreme Council would have no one left to govern.
Since each new race had its own autonomous territory and autonomy, the Supreme Council couldn't easily intervene.
After all, this was an arrangement they had only just acknowledged a month or two ago.
If they moved against them now, wouldn't they be slapping their own faces and personally destroying the legitimate rule they had worked so hard to stabilize?
