For the people of Austa, that was a day they would never forget.
On that day, the eternal night covered the entire city, and they were cut off from the sunlight. Their bodies, which they had to carefully preserve, had completely left them, leaving only their souls behind. People walked out of their rooms and looked at each other uneasily. Then, they learned about their future from Fangzheng, who was standing at the top of the tower.
They could not touch the sunlight and could only live in the eternal night. They lost their bodies and started a new life in the form of a soul.
Faced with this sudden change, everyone was shocked speechless, but when they gradually accepted the reality, an unexpected scene happened ….
"I still can't imagine that someone would actually do that …"
Sitting on the Void Radiant Warship (No.2), Misaka Mikoto recalled the scene she had seen before and was in disbelief. After learning that sunlight would completely turn them into ashes, many people in Austa chose to leave the city of their own accord. They left the city shrouded in the eternal night like moths to a flame and rushed into the bright sunlight. They raised their hands high and melted under the sunlight like snowmen.
Misaka Mikoto did not know what to say. She had always thought that everyone who came here chose to die in order to live forever, but …
"Eternity is also a poison under certain circumstances. For those people, it's not that they didn't want to die in the past, but they couldn't."
Fangzheng shrugged in response to Misaka Mikoto's lament. He did not take the matter too seriously. They were the only ones left in the entire Void Radiant Warship. Phyllis took the other Seed of the World that Fangzheng had given her and boarded the second Void Radiant Warship to return to Jelny. She urgently needed to tell her brother the way to save this world.
Alisa left with Phyllis. After all, Fenrir's situation was much worse than Jelny's. She wanted to see how Jelny was using the Seed of the World. If everything went smoothly, Alisa needed to report all this to Dragon Bile of the Rain Palace and the others to save their world.
As for Scarface, he brought the baby with him to Jelnie. After all, babies were very fragile and not suitable for long-distance travel. Moreover, Jelnie had abundant resources and was suitable for taking care of babies.
Since Fangzheng had fixed the infinite loop overflow error in this area, he could naturally fly the Void Radiant Warship freely in the sky. Therefore, Fangzheng took out two more boats, one for his own use, and the other one was temporarily lent to Phyllis, which would automatically return to Jelnie.
For Misaka Mikoto and the rest, this trip had a profound impact on them. They had never thought about problems like this before, let alone come into close contact with so many ideologies. Because of that, Misaka Mikoto felt that she was different from before. In the past, she was just going with the flow as a level five player. To be honest, Misaka Mikoto had never thought about what she wanted to do in the future.
However, in this world, Misaka Mikoto saw so many people giving up everything they had just to survive. They were like moths flying into a flame for the sake of death. Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt that she had been too lazy in the past.
Now that she thought about it, as a level five player, Akira Haihara had already begun to tackle the centuries-old problem of string theory. Misaka Mikoto had also chatted with him before, and she knew that if everything went well, Akira Haihara was planning to enter the academic world in the future.
But what about herself?
Misaka Mikoto had never thought about it ….
As for what Cao Qi was thinking …. Misaka Mikoto did not want to ask.
Maybe it's time for me to think about my future.
While Misaka Mikoto was thinking about her life, Karian was also looking at the emerald green ball in his hand. It looked like an apple.
"You're saying … that if we put this into the core reactor, we can change the whole world?"
"Changing the whole world is impossible."
Phyllis shook her head.
"But Mr. Fangzheng said that this can change the whole world within a certain range to how it was before the Cataclysm. The Polluted Beasts will disappear too. Not only that, even the Polluted Beasts from other areas won't be able to enter this area!"
"But according to what you said, the Seed of the World will absorb all the energy in the core reactor, right?"
Karian's eyes showed a hint of uneasiness.
In other words, once the Seed of the World was activated, the whole mobile city … would be completely destroyed.
"But Lord Brother, this is our chance. Don't you want us to get rid of the threat of the Polluted Beasts? Don't you want us to stop drifting around and live a stable life on a piece of land?"
Phyllis stared at Karian and asked in a low voice. Karian was slightly taken aback when he heard Phyllis's question. He then smiled.
"You've changed, Phyllis."
"Huh?"
"I remember you didn't like these things at all. You always wanted to find …. Meaning? You think you should have some other life. You don't seem to care about these things at all. "
"Because I've seen too much on the way with Mr. Fangzheng," Phyllis sighed in response to Karian's question.
Facing Karian's question, Phyllis let out a long sigh. Although this trip wasn't long, the shock that it brought to Phyllis was something that she had never imagined.
"Besides, Mr. Fangzheng also said that he will give the Seed of the World to his … players? In short, even if Lord Brother doesn't want to do it, they will go to other mobile cities to carry out the same plan. Not only these mobile cities, but even those abandoned mobile cities will also be reactivated. "
Fangzheng intended to give the abandoned cities to the players as a "reward". After all, many players were quite keen on the construction projects in the game. Fangzheng intended to make use of the abandoned cities and give them to the players to run as guilds or player cities. At the same time, he would also give them the authority to recruit natives. This would definitely be a good start.
"… ….."
"Besides, Mr. Fangzheng also said that once the Seed of the World is reactivated, all the pollution and ores will be erased. That is to say, we won't be able to find a mine to replenish the energy! Lord Brother, when that time comes ….. "
"I understand what you mean," Karian's expression changed slightly.
Calian's expression changed slightly. He knew what Fangzheng was trying to tell him through Phyllis. The Seed of the World needed the energy of the core reactor to be activated, and the amount of energy the core reactor had determined how much land it could transform. And the transformed land was naturally — Jelnie's territory!
After all, the Seed of the World was developed using the energy of Jelnie's core reactor, wasn't it?
Territory!
Ever since the Cataclysm, this concept had almost disappeared from people's minds. After all, for most people, mobile cities were the only place they could live. What was the point of having a territory?
But it was different now!
If the Seed of the World could really transform a large area of land as Phyllis said and completely eliminate the pollution beasts and pollution sources, then ….. territory was necessary!
But Jelnie was just a school city after all. It was too weak. Even if it established a new country, it would not last long. After all, Karian knew very well that compared to the pollution beasts, the ambitions of humans were just as terrifying.
Fortunately, they still had the School City Alliance to rely on.
According to Phyllis, after that, those mysterious …. Players? Would bring the Seed of the World to other cities. So why not take the initiative and gain the upper hand? As long as he took the initiative and called on the School City Alliance to establish a country, wouldn't that work?
When that time came, relying on his political skills and ambition, it would only be a matter of time before he seized power in this country called the "School City Alliance"! After all, many of the rulers of other cities were only powerful martial artists. In terms of politics and power, they were nothing!
"I understand. I'll make some preparations and implement it immediately."
Karian was also an ambitious person. He of course understood that Fangzheng was also interested in his ambition. Karian had even thought of what to do.
After making the decision, Karian immediately took action. He did not directly put the Seed of the World in Phyllis's hand into the core reactor. Instead, he ordered the mobile city to change its usual route and began to look for a suitable territory center. In the end, he found a very good place.
There were plains everywhere, rivers and lakes not far away. It was a very suitable transportation hub. As long as he occupied this area, Jelnie would have a say in the future. Next was …..
"Phyllis, do you think this thing will really work?"
"I believe in Mr. Fangzheng."
Upon hearing Karian's question, Phyllis slightly knitted her brows. Frankly speaking, she could understand Karian's thoughts. Before entering the Undead City, Phyllis's imagination of the outside world had always stopped at the dusky sky, desertified land, and terrifying polluted beasts.
However, on that piece of land, the land that had retained its appearance before the Catastrophe, Phyllis saw the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen.
Under the illumination of the scarlet setting sun, the wheat fields swayed in the wind, the endless green grassland, the forest, the clear stream, and the rippling lake. The first time she saw this scene, Phyllis almost cried. She didn't even know why she cried, but at that time, she really did cry.
From then on, Phyllis realized that her world was not just a small piece of moving land.
"So, I hope it can work."
With that said, Phiri stepped forward and stretched out her hand towards the core reactor in front of her. The emerald green fruit in her hand began to tremble, then suddenly turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the core reactor.
"— — —! “
At this moment, the entire reactor let out a deafening roar, scaring everyone into taking a few steps back. Then, the deep mechanical roar that had been going on for a long time gradually came to a stop.
"The school city has stopped moving!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Alyssa's voice fell, a low sound like a heartbeat was heard from the reactor. At the same time, a white halo emerged from it and quickly spread to the surroundings, disappearing behind the steel wall.
Seeing this, Alyssa hurriedly turned around and ran out, while Phyllis and Karian also hurriedly left the core reactor and went outside. At this moment, the streets and the towers were already full of people, including Jelnie's students and players. They all turned their heads and looked at the land outside the barrier.
At the same time …
"Boom!"
The whole city trembled slightly again. At the same time, everyone saw a halo emerge from under the mobile city and sweep across the land.
Then, a magical scene appeared.
Clear water gradually emerged from the originally barren and dry river. It gushed out of it like a spring and flowed all the way forward along the river, turning into a large river. Then, fresh green grass emerged from the cracked ground and quickly covered the entire land. Not far away, trees emerged at a rapid speed and turned into a forest in the distance.
"Ahhh …."
Seeing this scene, the residents of the campus city were shocked, and even the players were screaming.
Unlike the students in the school city, the players knew something. After all, this was also an opportunity to expand the reputation of the Tendo Temple and the Pale Blue Fleet. Therefore, Xiao Hei and Ilya also issued a public mission to the players, letting them witness how the Pale Blue Fleet saved the world with their own eyes, thereby increasing the players' sense of identity with the Pale Blue Fleet.
And now, this move had obviously worked.
"The Pale Blue Fleet is really awesome!"
"A huge force that roams the universe really has a vision that ordinary people can't compare to. Tsk tsk tsk, look at this land, it can actually be saved!"
"Sigh, this way, we can also go outside and explore!"
There was a lot of discussion among the players. Standing on the balcony, Alyssa, who was watching all this, had tears in her eyes.
She remembered her past, her experience as a child. Because she could not enter the mobile city, she had to follow her parents to live in the settlement, search for living supplies in the city ruins, and worry about the attacks of the Aragami. Whenever the wind blew, sand would fill the sky, and they could only hide in the small and messy ruins, shivering.
But now …
Thinking of this, Alyssa clenched her hands.
She had found a way to save the world!
