Chapter 269 Kagura Dance
How many people are there in 56,000?
This sentence may seem like nonsense, but many people have no idea what 56,000 people standing together means.

Let’s put it this way, to ensure a relatively safe distance, one person occupies 0.5 square meters.

A standard football field can accommodate about 14,000 people.

The number of New Order believers who were willing to follow Wang Hao and leave could probably fill four standard football fields.

Adding their various luggage, this number will continue to expand.

"A lot of people."

Even Keqing has never had the experience of mobilizing so many people.

"If so many people rush to the island at once, something bad will happen."

Keqing looked at Wang Hao and spoke.

The island is not yet equipped to accommodate so many people.

As for accommodation, people can take their tents with them, but food, medical care, drinking water and other daily necessities cannot be provided.

Many people have no idea how much natural resources a person needs to survive.

In the absence of industrial products and artificial breeding and planting, and relying entirely on the natural environment to provide the means of production, 56,000 people could cause the ecology of the archipelago to collapse.

"Not all of them will go there at once. Sister Ningguang is still gathering supplies. I'll take some workers with me first to help Kawi build a temporary camp.
Wait until Sister Ningguang has gathered all the supplies before we start a large-scale migration."

Wang Hao spoke.

The task of relocating 56,000 people is not easy, and if it is not handled properly, people may die.

Wang Hao looked at Izumi and said, "Go and notify the workers first. Pick a thousand people first, and then help me notify the Arawaki faction."

Mr. Izumi definitely can't leave here.

Since the population has to be transferred in batches, Izumi, as the person in charge, must preside over the overall situation in Inazuma to avoid the spread of rumors.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Watching the people around you leave Inazuma and go to a new world first, one will feel unbalanced inside.

Even if those who left early were going to work and build new homes for everyone, as long as no one saw it with their own eyes, there is still the possibility of rumors spreading.

At times like this, we need a leader like Mr. Izumi to stay here.

Mr. Izumi is still here, so we are definitely not abandoned.

This is the heart of the people.

Everyone is willing to believe that the person in a higher position will definitely be the first to run away, and if the person in a higher position does not run away, then everything will be fine.

"I'm already here."

Kuki Shinobu's voice came from behind him.

Wang Hao and Keqing turned around.

"Who is this?" Keqing felt as if she had seen Jiuqi Shinobu before, but couldn't remember where.

I don't think I have any friends like Inazuma, right?

"This is Kuki Shinobu, the second in command of the Arotaki faction. The Arotaki faction will help me build the island."

Wang Hao explained, and then continued to introduce, "Jiuqi Shinobu studied abroad in Liyue before, and she is our senior."

Keqing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the person looked familiar. It turned out that she had seen him in the academy.

Jiuqi looked at Keqing and nodded slightly: "Greetings, Master Yuheng."

She knew Keqing.

When Keqing arrived at Yuheng Star, Jiuqi Shinobu was still studying in Liyue.

"You're too polite, Senior. Just call me Keqing."

Since she was a senior in the academy, Keqing felt a little more relaxed.

"Where are Yidou and the others?" Wang Hao asked.

Jiuqi Shinobu shrugged and said, "Let's go catch ghost beetles. The boss said there are no ghost beetles outside the area, so we are going to bring some over to cultivate them."

Wang Hao: …

Invasive species.

But he did not refuse. He smiled and said, "I don't know if the island environment can support the reproduction of ghost beetles."

"The boss said that if he starts a beetle competition in a new place and makes it famous, there will naturally be businessmen to help with breeding." Jiuqi Shinobu spoke helplessly.

"Yidu has such a brain?" Wang Hao widened his eyes.

This kind of thinking doesn't seem like something Arawaki Ichito would think of.

"It's the idea pursued by the society."

"Oh, Ayato, it's okay then."

Let's skip the topic of ghost beetles.

Wang Hao looked at Jiuqi Shinobu and said, "The construction on the island is about to begin. I plan to take some workers over there first. You should get ready and go over to help with the management."

Jiuqi nodded and said, "Okay."

The march had been over for a long time, and the chaos in the Three Privy Council had stabilized.

Some people in the shogunate's upper echelons have already criticized the Aratoraki faction.

I feel that socially dynamic groups like the Aratake group, which are able to organise large-scale demonstrations, are dangerous and should be banned.

Although the company magistrate temporarily suppressed the proposal, Shinobu Kuki still felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

So she also wanted to take the Arotaki faction away from Inazuma for a period of time as soon as possible to divert the shogunate's attention away from the Arotaki faction.

Thinking of this, Jiuqi Shinobu couldn't help but look at Wang Hao with resentment.

She has always been a very smart person. She was not angry when Wang Hao plotted against her, but she definitely felt some resentment in her heart.

After all, the Aradaki faction was originally having a good time in Inazuma, but after being schemed against by Wang Hao, although they did not have to leave their hometown, they still had to go thousands of miles away.

Keqing was very sensitive and caught the resentful look in Jiuqi Shinobu's eyes. She frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

She clearly felt that this senior student had a complaint against Wang Hao.

"Let's ask later. It would be best if we can resolve it."

She didn't know the truth and thought that Wang Hao had offended this senior student in some way, and she wanted to help Wang Hao resolve the situation.

Just chatting,

The open space ahead has been cleared.

Many people gathered around and looked at them.

Mainly looking at Mr. Izumi,

After all, more people know Mr. Izumi than Wang Hao.

Looking at Keqing, Wang Hao nodded: "Put out the device."

Keqing stretched out her hand and the Chen Ge pot floated up. It was a gift from the immortals.

next moment,
Ten huge devices flew out of the Chen Ge pot and landed on the open space.

"The device needs energy to drive it, but according to your request, we have modified it so that it can also be driven directly by elemental force."

Keqing said to Wang Hao while controlling the Chen Ge Pot.

Previously in Liyue, the transmission device used energy mobilized from the new area.

But Inazuma doesn't have the energy supply like the new area.

"Oh, any energy source will do?"

A lazy voice came from not far away, and the pink-haired fox swayed its body and slowly came over.

Many believers around him subconsciously lowered their heads and called out, "Master Gongsi."

"Hey, why is Yae no Miyabi here instead of praying at Narukami Taisha Shrine?" Wang Hao curled his lips and said sarcastically.

Yae Shinko is not a good person. He probably doesn't appear here just to help.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. This is the White Fox Wilderness, which is the territory of our Baichen Fox Clan."

The Eightfold Divine Son approached the group, laughing, and then bowed slightly to Keqing, "Greetings, Yuheng."

The Seven Stars are the Emperor's agents and have the same status as immortals, so they are considered the Emperor's followers.

As a follower of the God of Thunder, Yae Godson naturally has to greet Keqing when he sees her.

Although Keqing is not familiar with Inazuma, Liyue still has information about high-level officials like Yae Shinzi.

He also bowed slightly to Yae Shinko: "Greetings to the Grand Priest of Narukami."

"What are you doing here?" Wang Hao asked unhappily.

Yae Shinko still smiled: "The shadow can't bear to see them leave, but Inazuma can't just stand by and watch, someone has to step forward."

Among the 56,000 people, most of them are Inazuma natives, except for some foreigners stranded in Inazuma.

Lei Dianying didn't dare to watch them leave, but Inazuma still had to send someone to assist.

It is impossible to just watch Wang Hao take the person away and do nothing. That would make Inazuma seem incompetent.

Whether sending or keeping, Inazuma has to show some attitude.

"Just now I heard you say you want any energy source. Can any energy source be used?"

Yae Shinko brought the conversation back to the main topic.

Wang Hao didn't say anything.

Keqing took up the conversation: "When we were developing it, we mainly experimented with earth energy, elemental energy, and electricity."

The textile factories in the new district use electricity, which is generated by tourmaline and flame flowers (Chapter 227).

"Electric energy? That's the lightning element." The Eightfold God Child smiled, causing many people around him to lose their minds instantly. "If that's the case, I can help."

She actually thought of the Heart of Thundergod that she gave to Wang Hao, but she didn't say it.

He stretched out his hand and a purple divine bell appeared.

【The true meaning of Kagura! 】

The barrage called out the name of this magical weapon at a glance.

A magical instrument passed down from generation to generation.

According to the barrage, this thing is the exclusive weapon of Yae Shinko.

However, this was the first time Wang Hao saw the Eightfold Son of God take it out.

Before, the Eightfold Divine Son had performed magic in front of Wang Hao many times, and he always used the priestess’s royal coins.

I have never used this magic weapon. "As the country of thunder, it is easy for Inazuma to order thunder and lightning."

As she said that, Yaejinko looked at Izumi and said, "Please ask everyone to move away."

Izumi understood immediately and turned to walk towards the crowd.
Soon, the crowd retreated.

"When I perform the Kagura dance, I realize what a burden the past is."

"Ying feels guilty, so I will take you there on his behalf."

The true meaning of Kagura floats, the crisp sound of bells floats, the eight divine children dance gracefully, and the faint fragrance of the divine cherry blossoms lingers.

Dance room,

Yae Shinko's expression gradually relaxed, the playful look on his face disappeared, and a stream of memories flooded into his mind.

The Kagura Dance is not her original creation.

A long, long time ago, this was the dance that Mistress Bai Chen performed for [Your Highness].

The sacrificial dance that is now Inazuma's most sacred form was once just a trick played by Mistress Baichen to amuse [Your Highness].

But when the white-eyed fox fairy named Yae took over the position left by Kitsai Palace and took over the post of Son of God, he realized how heavy this dance was.

The people around looked at the dancing Yae Shinto with gradually confused expressions.

Even Keqing and Jiuqi Shinobu were attracted by it.

Only Wang Hao and Mr. Izumi still looked clear-headed.

As the Kagura dance progressed, it seemed that the beings inside the castle tower were also paying attention.

Over the White Fox Wilds,

Endless dark clouds began to surge.

Rays of light flickered in the clouds.

It seems to be the response of the Lightning Ruler to the Kagura Dance.

The dancing Yae Goddess woke up from her memories.
Looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, he smiled.

"It is said in the storybook that when the gods bestow blessings, the sky is always filled with rosy clouds and auspicious clouds."

"But, every time I see you, whether it's good or bad, you always look like a dark cloud over your head. It's really frustrating."

As he spoke, Yae Shinto's figure flashed, and fox cherry blossoms appeared one after another.

Lightning flashed on the fox cherry, as if there was some terror waiting to be unleashed.

Leave ten fox cherry trees behind.

Yae Shinko looked at Keqing and asked, "How do I input energy into this thing?"

Keqing looked at the thick dark clouds and flashing lightning in the sky.
She looked at the fox cherry lying on the ground, waiting for her to strike. Even though she was well-informed, she felt it was a little absurd.

"Here, this is the port for energy input."

Although it felt a bit absurd, he still had his sense of propriety and subconsciously opened the energy input port of the device.

The fourth-generation transmission device was developed specifically for Wang Hao's requirements.

It supports multiple energy sources, and has a magic array inside that can transform elemental forces.

As long as energy is input, it can be used directly, with no requirements on power or voltage.

It can be said to be a fool-proof device.

Seeing Keqing pointing out the place, Yae Shinto did not hesitate, and the True Meaning of Kagura in his hand slowly rotated.

Ten fox cherry trees emitted lightning currents that rushed toward the transmission device.
Whenever the lightning on the fox cherry dimmed, the thunderclouds in the sky would change and surge, and a large amount of skylight would collapse, turning into lightning elements that fell down and poured into the fox cherry.

An abstract power station + transmission station thus appeared.

"Energy essentially comes from Shadow. It can be considered as the final gift to these people."

With a wave of his hand, the true meaning of Kagura disappeared. Yae Shinto glanced at the crowd still watching from a distance.

"I restrained Fox Sakura, so it won't hurt anyone, but don't touch it, especially don't use strong elements to react to it, otherwise there will still be problems."

She warned again,
"This thundercloud is estimated to last for ten days or half a month. If you want to maintain a long-term space gate in Inazuma, you still need to make new plans."

"I recommend you go to Qinglai Island. The regret of Thunderbird is still going wild there."

"With your ability, it should be possible to restrain it and provide an energy source."

【Good guy, the Thunder Sound Power Generator. 】

[Don’t say it, really don’t say it. 】

[Then the Iron without Form should also work. 】

[The Iron of No Form should use the eternal energy of Kanreya. 】

[What is the iron without form? ]

【Constant mechanism array.】

[That's not right. The most important thing about the Constant Mechanism is the Heart of the Constant Mechanism. That thing is an intelligent program + driver in one, so it's not easy to extract energy from it.]

[Then Leiyin Quanxian is more useful, restrain it and draw out the thunder element. ]

【…】

The barrage of comments suddenly became lively in response to Yae Shinko's words.

Wang Hao had said before that establishing a stable space channel requires an energy source.

The barrage also put forward many suggestions.

For example, ask him to remove the light bulbs from the Daishin Imperial Carriage and use them as energy.

It is also said that the filth in the Inazuma veins can be directly extracted and used as energy.

You know what, Wang Hao can really do all these.

And now, Yae Shinko's super monster power generation has given inspiration to the barrage.

Wang Hao did not refuse and nodded slightly: "I will go and take a look when the time comes."

While talking,
As the energy was connected, Keqing turned on the device, and faint blue rays began to flash.

"Okay, open the door."

Keqing looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao did not delay and took a step forward. Under the gaze of everyone, he made the same move as in Liyue and stretched out his hand to pull at the air.

A deep space rift appeared.

Then the surrounding devices emitted blue light, stabilizing the irregular space cracks, which gradually evolved and turned into a huge space gate.

"Izumi, go inform the workers."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Izumi responded and walked towards the group.

Speaking of which, many people have different names for Wang Hao.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My Lord, My Master.

There are all kinds of things, and sometimes Wang Hao himself feels speechless.

On the contrary, when I’m with Keqing, Xingqiu and others, I feel more comfortable calling them by their names.

However, he also knew that although he was willing to be called by his name by those of lower status, others were not willing.

"I'll go and help." Jiuqi Shinobu glanced at Wang Hao and Keqing debugging the equipment, and left with Mr. Izumi.

"Eh? Eh! What about me?"

Paimon looked around and wondered why he was the only one left.

Just as I was thinking, I heard shouting from outside.
"Paimon."

"Hey, Ying, you're back!"

Paimon seemed to hear the fairy music and flew towards Ying immediately.

"Hey, Wang Hao and Keqing are here, and they're about to take everyone away."

Paimeng quickly explained to Ying what had happened before.

"I saw it."

Ying nodded. She was not blind. With such a big commotion ahead and now a huge blue space door, it was natural for her to not see it.

"So everyone is leaving today?"

Paimeng’s words just now made Ying think that Wang Hao was going to take everyone away today.

At this time, Wang Hao also noticed Ying's arrival.

I heard Ying's voice.

Wang Hao said directly: "Of course not, I just want to take some people away first."

“The island is not yet fully prepared to handle the work of so many people.”

As he spoke, Wang Hao suddenly had an idea and looked at Ying: "Do you want to go with us? You probably haven't been to the Dark Sea yet."

Ying showed a hint of excitement. She had recently taken on a lot of commissions from Inazuma and earned a lot of travel expenses.

After working so hard for so long, it's only right that I reward myself by going out for some fun.

"Are there any special delicacies over there?" Before Ying could say anything, Paimon came over and asked with his big eyes blinking.

Wang Hao thought about it and to be honest, he really didn’t know if there were any special foods on the island.

But after thinking about it, Wang Hao replied: "There are ancient survivors over there who have preserved some ancient customs. Their food should be considered a specialty food."

It’s a specialty food, not a specialty delicacy. If it doesn’t taste good, you can’t blame me.

Paimeng obviously didn't notice Wang Hao's little trick, his eyes lit up: "Ancient food, Ying, I want to go."

During her time at Inazuma, she has tasted all kinds of delicacies in Inazuma.

Now that new delicacies have emerged, how can we stand still?

It should travel through time and space, through...

Anyway, I just want to eat.

Ying looked at Paimon helplessly, then nodded: "That's fine."

Having tricked another free thug into joining, Wang Hao smiled and said, "Haha, pack up and wait for everyone to arrive, then we'll set off."

Taking Ying to the island, of course, is not just about finding a thug.
Instead, he was just using Ying to try to negotiate with Kong.
