[Inazuma – The New Recruits]
Kagome rode on the back of Su Han's flying sword (Tessaiga in travel mode), her jaw dropping as they soared over the sea.
Below them, the Sea Train chugged along its tracks, connecting islands.
"This is... another world?" Kagome marveled. "It has magic and technology?"
Beside her, Inuyasha was equally stunned. The soldiers of Inazuma weren't just guys with spears. They wielded Haki—blackening their fists to punch through stone. The generals commanded elements like gods.
"If I learn this 'Haki' stuff," Inuyasha muttered, flexing his claws, "I could crush Sesshomaru easily."
"You want to learn?" Su Han landed the sword. "Join the army. If you show potential, you can become a General. Plus... I know you want revenge on your brother."
Inuyasha jumped. "How do you know about Sesshomaru?!"
"I know everything," Su Han said calmly. "Your father was the Great Dog Demon. Your mother was the human Princess Izayoi. You were sealed to a tree for fifty years by Kikyo. Correct?"
Inuyasha slumped, completely defeated. "Who are you people?"
"We are the ones who can make you strong," Su Han smiled. "But first, you start as a private. Kujou Sara will teach you discipline."
Inuyasha knelt. "I'll do it. Just... teach me how to beat him."
"Deal."
As Inuyasha was dragged off to boot camp, Su Han turned to Kagome.
"You have spiritual power. Go to the Grand Narukami Shrine. The foxes will teach you how to use it properly. You're wasted as a schoolgirl."
Kagome nodded nervously. "Yes, sir!"
[Multiverse Mission Chat Group]
Su Han: "The gate to the Feudal Era is open permanent. It's a resource world. Feel free to enter."
Ningguang: "Resources include manpower, correct? Liyue is expanding into Dunyu Ruins and Tianqiu Valley. We have a severe shortage of miners and laborers."
In the Feudal Era, life was cheap. People died from famine and demons daily. Offering them food, safety, and a wage was like offering heaven.
Lisa: "Mondstadt could use some hands too. Kaeya and Rosaria can lead an expedition. We need about 30,000 workers."
Keqing: "I'll lead the Liyue team. Yelan and Qiqi can assist. We need 50,000 workers for the Chasm mines."
Ayato: "The Yashiro Commission will handle Inazuma's quota. We need farmers for the new Araumi colony."
It was decided.
The Feudal Era was about to experience a massive brain drain.
The poor villagers of the Warring States period had no idea that three superpowers were coming to 'recruit' them. For a bowl of rice and a safe bed, they would happily build Teyvat's future.
[Tenshukaku – The Study]
After organizing the labor draft, Su Han met with Rosalyne.
She placed a glowing Jade Slip on his desk.
"This is the jackpot," she said, her eyes gleaming. "You've been worried about the stability of the Underwater City project? This solves it."
Su Han picked up the slip.
[Manual: Water Ripple Emerald Array]
Creator: Immortal Gu Yue.
Effect: Creates a stable, air-filled pocket underwater. Draws energy from water veins and ley lines to self-sustain. Capable of withstanding pressure from the deep sea and attacks from giant beasts.
"Incredible," Su Han murmured, reading the schematics. "It uses 365 Jade Cores as nodes. It essentially turns the water pressure into a protective shield."
"It gets better," Rosalyne added. "There are other arrays too. Gu Yue left these for the Diren Queen so her people could protect themselves and gather spiritual energy. She just... never used them."
Su Han shook his head. "Love makes people stupid. She treated survival manuals as love letters."
He scanned the other slips.
Heavenly Spinning Nine-Transformation Array: A massive Spirit Gathering Array. Range: 10km. It could turn a barren wasteland into a cultivation paradise.Strange Tooth Heaven-Breaking Sword Array: An offensive formation that summons spectral swords to shred intruders.Mist Soul Array: A high-level illusion barrier.
"With these," Su Han slammed the table, "we can build the Sky City and the Underwater City simultaneously."
"Where do we start?" Rosalyne asked.
"Sea of Clouds," Su Han pointed to the map near Guyun Stone Forest. "Liyue Harbor is overcrowded. Real estate prices are insane. We'll build the first Underwater City there. It's secure, close to the trade routes, and we can use the Orobashi mines in Yashiori to source the Jade for the array."
"Baiwen!"
"Yes, Lord Su Han?" The secretary appeared instantly.
"Contact the Yashiori mines. I need high-quality Jade. Lots of it. And tell Cloud Retainer to get her engineering team ready. We're building Atlantis."
"Understood!"
Su Han looked at the array blueprints, his mind racing.
Teyvat was limited by its technology. But by integrating Xianxia Arrays with Snezhnayan Tech and Liyue Engineering, he was creating a civilization that defied the laws of physics.
The future was bright.
