At nightfall, the mountain god came to collect its sacrificial offering. The Zou family couldn't pay the sacrificial tax, so they had no choice but to hand over a living person.
But Cheng Chuan, who had just transmigrated, saw a prompt in front of their ramshackle house:
[Urgent relocation need detected. Move the house along with its occupants?]
Cheng Chuan had once worked reinforcing old houses and moving them intact. The System bound to him granted no cultivation, gave him no divine weapons, and couldn't teleport anything out of thin air. It only measured structures, set up supports, lifted buildings, planned routes, and found places to put them down.
So he began by moving a tofu shop. Gradually, he moved shrines, streets, bridges, and entire cities, gathering craftsmen, road guides, and people with nowhere else to go, until he had built a relocation network beyond the imperial court's control.
When the imperial capital tried to lock down all the land and sacrifice the people on its outskirts, Cheng Chuan accepted the biggest moving job of all.
If this immortal city had no room for its people, then he'd move it away, one piece at a time.
