The advancement of Fengdu City did not bring any change to the creatures of the Primordial Star.
However, it was of great significance to the entire Primordial Star. It finally gave Oros and other underworld officials the authority to truly manage the souls of the dead, instead of simply relying on their own strength to suppress and kill them.
"Cultivate diligently, for the souls of the dead on the Primordial Star will depend on you in the future!" Ye Chen said. "In addition, you can also take inspiration from the urban construction in the mortal realm and truly build up Fengdu City, since there will still be quite a few souls residing there."
Oros and the others nodded and returned to Fengdu City. The appearance of the Dragon Palace and Fengdu City gave this demigod-level dragon a lot of hope. Feeling the faint pressure emanating from the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and Yinglong, Oros couldn't help but look forward to the day when reincarnation would begin. At that time, he would definitely enter the Dragon Palace and be reborn.
"Sigh... Everything was on track, and now that I'm suddenly free, it feels a bit strange!" Ye Chen thought helplessly as he returned to the empty lord's mansion.
He is the only one living in this lord's mansion. Even Ye Xi doesn't stay here often. Apart from the Silver Moon Elves who act as maids and clean the place daily, it is terribly deserted.
He habitually picked up a book, but after reading for less than five minutes, he put it down with a hint of irritation. This feeling of being all alone made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Forget it, they say you can go on an incognito visit. With the construction of New Aini City in full swing, why don't I go and open a shop for fun?" Ye Chen had an idea. He immediately changed into casual clothes, his spatial power surged, and the next moment he appeared outside New Aini City.
Compared to a year ago, the new city of Aini is now quite well-established, with tall city walls standing around it, stone-paved roads inside, and houses already in place.
Ye Chen stepped into the city without encountering much resistance. Now that the Primordial Star has entered a period of peaceful development, the guards are just for show. Cecilia didn't even arrange for many people to be stationed here.
"Now it feels more like there's a lively atmosphere!" Ye Chen walked down the street, feeling the bustling atmosphere around him, and his mood couldn't help but improve.
"Go see if there are any shops for rent, and try not to go to Xia Qingyi and the others!" Ye Chen thought to himself, asked someone for directions, and quickly headed towards the trade area.
After a year, the common language of the entire city of Aini has been completely changed to Chinese. Many older people may not be able to pronounce words very clearly, but they can already express the general meaning of the words.
This was all thanks to Lynn's linguistic and magical abilities, which allowed all the magicians to cast spells on everyone, thus accelerating their learning of Chinese.
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the trade area, but found that it was somewhat different from what he had imagined. It was indeed bustling, with shouts all around, but it was more like a wholesale market on Earth than a clean and tidy large commercial street. There were even very few real shops; most people just set up a stall and started selling their wares.
"Tsk, this place seems a bit chaotic, and the business environment isn't very standardized!" Ye Chen scratched his head helplessly. He wanted to open a shop and become a reclusive master in the city, experiencing the feeling of looking down on all living beings like a hidden monk, but that didn't mean he wanted to open a shop in the wholesale market.
Moreover, at a glance, there are all sorts of shady characters: haggling, theft, counterfeiting... I really don't know how Cecilia manages this city.
"Forget it, let's go look around somewhere else. If all else fails, how about becoming a teacher at the academy? I think I have some talent for cultivation," Ye Chen thought confidently as he walked out of the trade zone and strolled around the entire New Aini City.
Unfortunately, after wandering around for most of the day, I was disappointed to find that New Aini City really only had one trading area. There was no high-end large commercial street like I had imagined. There were only some scattered small grocery stores everywhere, and they were all doing business with acquaintances.
Left with no other choice, Ye Chen changed course and headed to Hope Academy, the earliest alien academy to be built, which had been basically completed after a year.
Towering teaching buildings, a clean and tidy environment, and energetic students... Hope College looks more like a city than New Aini City, and in fact, it is.
Hope Academy now occupies one-third the size of New Aini City and is still expanding.
Compared to New Aini City, a large number of Aini people and people from other tribes prefer to develop here, since it is only nominally an academy belonging to all races, not a city for Aini people.
With the influx of various resources and the presence of some of Ye Chen's family members here, Hope Academy has experienced rapid development.
Not only does it have all the public facilities that an academy should have, such as teaching buildings, dormitories, and playgrounds, but there is even a commercial street that Ye Chen had been looking forward to at the side gate of the academy.
This commercial street, named Gold Rush Street, runs through the inside and outside of the college. It is divided into an inner street and an outer street, and it is responsible for the commercial development of the entire Hope College. It is also the place where people from all ethnic groups gather the most.
If the trading district of New Aini City is where merchants conduct bulk transactions, then this is the area for retail, where goods are actually sold.
Of course, most merchants can only open shops on the outer street. As for the inner street, they must be approved by the relevant departments of the academy. In fact, many shops are simply opened by a tutor or professor in the academy. Ye Chen even saw that the owners of several shops were actually his own Silver Moon Elves.
"Looks like if I want to open a shop here without anyone knowing, I'll have to find Ye Ling or Ye Xi to come over!" Ye Chen scratched his head helplessly, and with a flash, he arrived directly in the Elf King's capital, thousands of miles away.
Compared to New Aini City and Hope Academy, this place is far too deserted, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a ghost town. The surrounding buildings are exquisite, but few people walk among them. In addition, given its vast area, you can hardly find anyone in the entire Elf King region.
"Tsk! Should I add another elf race? Otherwise, with the Silver Moon Elves' current state, won't they eventually destroy themselves? Or should I create a Mother-Child River so they can reproduce on their own?" Ye Chen thought with a headache. So far, the Silver Moon Elves only have a population of a little over two thousand, and not a single one of them is married, which is really hindering their development.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Chen put the question aside for the time being and went straight into Ye Ling's residence.
