Three days later, every highway, railway, and undersea glass tunnel across Planet Canglan was lit up with millions of glowing red lanterns and golden festival banners.
For ten thousand years—ever since the Upper Realm’s hidden Spirit-Draining Nail had started choking the planet’s spirit veins and driving the races into scarcity and starvation—the four great regions of Planet Canglan had hated and feared each other.
Humans saw Demon-Beasts as bloodthirsty monsters; Demon-Beasts saw Humans as greedy land-thieves; the Sea-Tribes tried to drown the coast for grain; and the Northern Frost-Giants froze in isolated agony at the top of the world.
Today, however, Pei Xuan had declared a three-day planetary holiday: The First All-Canglan Grand Unity Festival & World Census!
And in typical Dry-Well Empire fashion, how did Pei Xuan get every isolated mountain village, deep-sea coral tribe, desert nomad clan, and northern tundra settlement to register for the official World Census?
Simple: every single living being who walked into a Dry-Well Town Hall to get their free Dry-Well Citizen ID Card automatically received a Three-Day All-You-Can-Eat Hotpot & Train Pass plus ten silver Dry-Well Grain-Notes!
“Step right up! Don’t push! Keep your tails, tentacles, and giant toes inside the yellow line!”
