Watching the group of male and female gods arguing over a few ounces of food, Wang Yao found it both amusing and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for these divine beings.
Even though everyone is starving, it is indeed a bit excessive to link food distribution with social status. However, the reason for emphasizing social status is to get less food. This makes one wonder about the quality of the people in the divine realm.
"Wang...Wang Xian..." Wang Yao was sighing in his heart when a voice suddenly rang out beside him. He turned his head and saw a thin-faced man staring at him with bright eyes. Wang Yao was also stunned and widened his eyes upon seeing him.
This was actually Mr. Zuo from Darkmoon Village. He never expected to meet him in Shuangliu City.
"Mr. Zuo, what are you doing here?" Wang Yao asked in surprise.
"I heard that the commander of the Three Realms' reinforcements was an immortal, but I never expected it to be you, Immortal Wang!" Mr. Zuo smiled and clasped his hands together, bowing deeply to Wang Yao.
"Oh, old friend, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. How is it? Have all the villagers from Dark Moon Village moved to Shuangliu City?" Wang Yao hurriedly pulled Mr. Zuo aside.
"It's a long story..." Mr. Zuo was stopped by Wang Yao, so he didn't hide anything and briefly told Wang Yao the details of what had happened since they last met.
After General Shan relocated the villagers of Dark Moon Village, he spent several days leading them north along the coastline to a secluded place called Golden Horn Bay. Golden Horn Bay was originally an island in the Ocean of No Return, which was occupied by the demons for a period of time during the war between gods and demons.
Later, in a battle between the Divine Realm of Reclamation and the Demonic Realm of Decapitation, the Divine Realm of War sent troops to help the Divine Realm of Reclamation win a battle. As a result, Golden Horn Bay, along with a coastal plain of the Divine Realm of Reclamation on the opposite shore, was occupied by the Divine Realm of War as a vassal state.
Once the battle lines of the Divine Realm of Reclamation and the Demon Realm of Decapitation converged on the Wanghai City line, Golden Horn Bay became an enclave left by the gods in the demon-occupied territory. In particular, the coastal plain was blocked from the mainland by a series of mountains, making it a paradise-like place along with the islands, with a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Since Golden Horn Bay is neither a port nor a strategic location, neither the gods nor the demons are very interested in it. However, since this place is located on the flank and rear of the front line of Wanghai City, the demons are still quite bothered by it. They have launched several small-scale attacks on Golden Horn Bay, but have never been able to conquer it.
The commander of the War God Domain stationed at Golden Horn Bay was a main god. This main god, surnamed Zheng, was quite satisfied with the idyllic state of Golden Horn Bay. He allowed his subordinates to recuperate and live in Golden Horn Bay, intermarry with the natives, and even engage in production and construction.
They essentially established a small court in Golden Horn Bay and became local emperors.
The War God Lord probably didn't like this Zheng surname god very much to begin with, so the fact that the place Zheng occupied was extremely far away from his War God Domain suited his wishes. Most importantly, Zheng wasn't arrogant enough to openly declare himself a god lord.
On the one hand, Zheng, the main god, is nominally still under the patronage of Xing Tian. On the other hand, as the main god, he is willing to indulge his imperial fantasies in a desolate place, so he must have some qualifications.
In particular, leaving a force in the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm was beneficial to the War God Lord, so he turned a blind eye to Zheng's actions.
This Lord Zheng was extremely good at business. He arranged for his subordinates to intermarry with the locals, transforming these outsiders into soldiers of Golden Horn Bay. He also conducted extensive business with various regions of the divine realm, ensuring the army's equipment was guaranteed.
Moreover, he himself was a ruthless character, and he managed to make Golden Horn Bay as solid as an iron fortress.
If the cost to defeat the demons is too low, it won't be worthwhile; if the cost is too high, it won't be worth it either, since Golden Horn Bay isn't exactly a place that absolutely needs to be occupied.
But what truly dissuaded the demons from their idea of seizing Golden Horn Bay at any cost was that this Lord Zheng only valued that corner of Golden Horn Bay, showed little interest in the war between gods and demons, and was particularly sensible in maintaining neutrality in the subsequent battles between gods and demons, without sending troops to support the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm.
The demons gradually discovered that the Golden Horn Bay gods' army seemed quite content to stay in Golden Horn Bay and not come out. As a result, the threat to their flanks and rear became less urgent. Over time, the demons were semi-forced to accept the existence of the Golden Horn Bay enclave.
The road into Golden Horn Bay was very secretive, but General Shan knew it. He led the villagers in, and the people of Golden Horn Bay were willing to accept them, but they made one condition.
Once the villagers enter Golden Horn Bay, they become residents of Golden Horn Bay and are no longer allowed to mention returning to the Divine Realm of Land Reclamation.
The reason why Golden Horn Bay made such seemingly harsh demands was because there were indeed unspeakable difficulties. After all, Golden Horn Bay is not a large area and there are not many indigenous people. After the first intermarriage between Zheng Zhushen's army and the indigenous people, the army's high command foresaw a serious problem.
They discovered that if Golden Horn Bay continued to develop, it would likely become a very isolated place, with little chance of intermarriage between the military and the indigenous people, or between the indigenous people themselves.
If this situation is allowed to continue, Golden Horn Bay will inevitably face the predicament of inbreeding after several generations.
This situation is far from ideal. Inbreeding will lead to a complete degeneration of the gods' qualities. What if one day the soldiers and civilians of Golden Horn Bay are left with only a bunch of mentally challenged offspring from inbreeding? That would definitely become a nightmare for God Zheng.
In order to avoid such terrible consequences, it became an important task for Zheng Zhushen to take precautions and systematically increase the number of external deities entering Golden Horn Bay and vigorously promote the marriage between Golden Horn Bay and the divine realm.
