The Baizhu Autonomous State was now a composite civilization, officially advocating the Pathway of the Sovereign and its associated industries. The mainstream of the Layer Abyss was always the Pathway of Fine Artistry and the Pathway of the Destroyer, so Li Aozi had also absorbed a good number of immigrants from these fields. However, to nurture their market and employment, one would have to wait for a hundred years or so.
To bring Baizhu Star back to the production capability and status it once held during the era of the Scholarly Faction economy, they had to either open up completely, accepting the infiltration of foreign capital into their now fragile market, or take proactive measures to accumulate raw resources.
For the sake of Baizhu Star, Li Aozi had already spent considerable funds at hand. In reality, the revenue brought by the Spirit Maggot was nearly exhausted, and he needed to quickly find new channels of income.
