The incidents discussed on the second day were even more important. Almost every incident involved multiple borders.

Some terrifying hidden dangers had been suppressed for a long time and never announced until now.

For example, the Pingyun Thirty-six City in Wupan Continent had a constantly enlarging black hole beneath the city. Once the black hole swallowed the entire earth crust, this Thirty-six City would instantly vanish.

The population in that city could not be estimated. However, migrating the people in that city would be a big project that would be very exhausting on the army. This Thirt-six City was located next to a soul pet dynasty. Migrating them required a large army for protection.

Other than that, where should they settle the refugees from the city? Were those people really willing to give up all of their immovable properties and migrate into another city to start anew?

This is a problem left behind from a long time ago. They just could not find a proper solution.

Problems that could not be resolved during this meeting would be delayed for another twenty years, until the next Dual Earth Conference.

Other than the apocalyptic underground black hole, Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent were not as peaceful as they looked on the surface.

The drying up of resources, natural disasters occurring after the Moon Tide, the potential danger of the approaching Solar Eclipse.

For these problems, those putting in effort for a resolution were mostly from Divine Sect, Demon Beast Palace, Xuan Gate Immortal School, Departed Spirit Palace and Elemental Clan these five major factions. Meanwhile, the two major dynasties were responsible for most problems related to borders. The other factions would only provide some help in any problem if possible.

Based on the handling of these problems, the position of these major factions within the human territories were fixed. Without them, these problems would not be resolved and would only worsen.

The discussion went on from morning to afternoon.

During this entire time, Liu Binglan remained feeling uneasy.

She had already related the huge threat of Ancient Flood Dragon Person to the two royalties. The two royalties also indicated that they knew more or less about it.

The conference on the second day would be the final conference. Until evening, the two royalties stated many potential dangers and also resolved many major events. However, they never mentioned about Ancient Flood Dragon Person in New Moon Land at all.

Putting this matter to the last would signify the importance of this matter to some extent.

However, the more important this matter became, the more danger Liu Binglan felt. As the actions they took were always based on the benefit of the entire human race, they almost never asked for the opinion of the involved!

“Alright, that’s how we will handle this matter. I hope every representative will abide by the promise during today’s conference. Us royalties will exercise our authority on those who broke their promises,” said Wupan Royalty’s Family Master.

After this Family Master finished his speech, Hidden Pupil Royalty’s Family Master Gu took over a document. It was clear that the next incident would be declared by him.

“Now we will discuss on the matter of New Moon Land’s Second Heaven Boundary Monument,” said Family Master Gu.

When Liu Binglan heard it, her heart sank.

This Family Master Gu was clearly against New Moon Land. Otherwise, why was he in charge of every matter related to New Moon Land?

“Based on description, there is a five-thousand-year old palace underneath the Second Heaven Boundary Monument. An Ancient Flood Dragon Person and its many subordinates laid in slumber within this palace. I’m holding the history document related to New Moon Land’s Second Heaven Boundary Monument. The document mentioned that this Ancient Flood Dragon Person is the Evil Son of Eternal Ocean. It is a cruel tyrant and once ruled Eternal Ocean. It also treated New Moon Land in the human continent as its territory. Countless creatures with high bloodline submitted to it and assisted it to carry out its ambition,” When Family Master Gu was reading out these facts, everyone’s gaze landed on Liu Binglan.

The hidden dangers they encountered before were all within the recent thousand years. Many ancient creatures left behind by the past created many horrifying disasters.

However, the representatives never expected a five-thousand-year old hidden danger left behind in New Moon Land! Furthermore, it was a cruel ocean tyrant which once ruled Eternal Ocean!

“The document stated that in the next Solar Eclipse, this Ancient Flood Dragon Person will awaken. This is an apocalyptic disaster that will severely affect the safety of mankind, because there was once a severe oceanic incident that happened in history. That incident almost swallowed half of Zhengming Continent,” said Family Master Gu.

This sentence instantly created a choppy ripple in the conference!

An incident that swallowed half of Zhengming Continent. That was truly the disaster of mankind. Just how powerful could that Ancient Flood Dragon Person be? It could actually affect both the Ocean Species and human race?

“Family Master Gu, does this Ancient Flood Dragon Person really exist?” asked Elemental Clan’s Peng Meng.

The other Family Masters nodded. They had lived for a very long time. They more or less knew about these super hidden dangers left behind in history. Even if Liu Binglan did not report it, they had to find a solution.

“How strong is this Ancient Flood Dragon Person?” asked Xuan Gate Immortal School’s Old Sect Master.

“We cannot estimate its strength at the moment. However, it has a general called Calamity Ocean Demon. It was once the East Ocean King five thousand years ago,” said Family Master Ning.

“Ocean Species East Ocean King?”

Many people were unfamiliar with Ocean Species civilization. Hidden Pupil Royalty’s Family Master Tao opened his eyes slightly and explained, “Calamity Ocean Demon should be almost as strong as me.”

Family Master Tao’s words silenced the entire venue!

Which one amongst the six royalty Family Masters was not a supreme ruler amongst the human leaders?

The people in the venue knew Family Master Tao was the undisputed strongest person in Hidden Pupil Royalty. That Calamity Ocean Demon could actually oppose such a royalty leader......

Then, as the master of that Calamity Ocean Demon, just how strong could Ancient Flood Dragon Person be?

After hearing this news, Liu Binglan was also shocked speechless.

She had made sufficient mental preparation and thought of various methods to handle this danger. However, she had never expected that Ancient Flood Dragon Person to be this strong. Let alone New Moon Land, even the eight major factions and two royalties might not be able to handle that Ancient Flood Dragon Person!

“Isn’t Solar Eclipse happening soon? If this Ancient Flood Dragon Person does not return to Eternal Ocean and invades human territories, this will become a terrifying war!” said a few Border Lords with territories near New Moon Land.

“Certainly, the Ocean Species agent told us that a few of its subordinates have already awakened and madly expanding their forces. Once Ancient Flood Dragon Person awakens naturally, East Ocean of Ocean Species and the western region of human territories will be severely affected.”

The western region of Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent would be affected. The expression of those Border Lords changed and they were unsure how to handle it.

“Then...... What should we do?” asked Guan City’s City Lord.

Family Master’s gaze swept across everyone and calmly spoke, “The final decision of us six Family Masters, Masters of the five major factions and the rulers of two Dynasties is: The regions that will be affected will migrate to the other regions. These regions include the actual site New Moon Land, affected territories He Border, Eternal Ocean Strait, Guan Border......”

Family Master Gu calmly announced the names of those territories. The Border Lords whose territories were in the list had a grim expression. This was undoubtedly a nightmare to them. After all, migration was equivalent to abandoning their territories. They would be managed by the royalties and eight major factions afterwards.

Every territory held some private ownership property. Who would be willing to abandon such territories? They also had to organize a major migration for the entire population in the territory!

“Migration??” After Liu Binglan heard this decision, she felt thunder striking her head!

The battle against Soul Alliance finally let the three palaces gain control over New Moon Land.

It was immediately followed by the threat from Cloud Realm. New Moon Land emerged as an independent territory through countless hardships.

Next, New Moon Land rose up to fame amongst the new generation and gradually gained their own standing in Zhengming Continent.

New Moon Land continued to prosper, more and more people knew about New Moon Palace. More and more experts settled in New Moon Land to live, cultivate and travel......

Liu Binglan watched over the development of New Moon Land. She also watched over countless people working and fighting for New Moon Land.

However, this simple ‘migration’ would make all the efforts New Moon Palace invested in reduce to nothing!

Abandoning territory, all population in New Moon Land had to be migrated.

Migration meant the entire New Moon Land population would become refugees. It meant that they would lose their sense of belonging. It meant countless people would face the breaking up of families. It meant countless people had to live under the roofs of others......

New Moon Land already had almost no allies. Just where could the hundreds of millions of people migrate to?

Furthermore, the most precious thing about New Moon Land was its territory. The existence of forbidden regions allowed New Moon Land to gain a natural barrier. As long as they could keep the disasters in control, New Moon Land would be the most peaceful territory.

New Moon Land had thousands of years of history. It was not any inferior to those big border countries. Its culture, civilization and history had long taken shape.

New Moon Land possessed isolated spaces rarely seen in other places. There were more than ten of them, each isolated space was a huge treasure vault.

Soul Palace, Nightmare Palace, Soul Pet Palace, they existed with those isolated spaces as foundation. Once those isolated spaces were lost, what meaning was there for New Moon Palace to continue existing?

Every person had something worth protecting by betting their lives.

Other than Chu Mu whom Liu Binglan owed too much to, she was also willing to bet her life to protect this New Moon Palace which protected the citizens of New Moon LAnd!

Once New Moon Land ceased to exist, once New Moon Palace perished, it was no different from robbing her of her life!
