The Duchy of Beifeng became more and more prosperous. The large influx of people allowed the Duchy of Beifeng to obtain sufficient labor force. Millions of acres of farmland had been cultivated. This allowed Beifeng City to obtain a large amount of raw materials.
The Deepwater Port had become the busiest port in Beifeng City, and it was also the port with the largest population. During this period, many churches had come to test him from all directions. As Suhlen's strength increased, he had attracted the attention of the gods.
After seeing the powerful divine power in Suhlen, these gods thought that Suhlen was planning to become a god, and the Duchy of Beifeng was likely to be his future church. Suhlen directly responded to these hints.
After all, he did not plan to become a god. He did not seek a clergy or godhood. Compared to becoming a god, Suhlen preferred his current life. Gods did not only have power, but also represented a kind of responsibility. At the same time, if Suhlen became a god, he could not travel freely.
The arrival of the Elemental Tide had changed the entire world. The most obvious change was that the difficulty of breaking through to the Legendary-level had decreased. Originally, there were only three Legendary-level powerhouses in a kingdom, and the most was five. However, in the past few years, the Kingdom of Florence had four new Legendary-level powerhouses.
These newly promoted legendary masters originally wanted to redivide the Kingdom of Florence. In the end, Suhlen personally went to talk to these people about life and ideals. Su Lun convinced them with reason and successfully interrupted them. He crossed out the word "bah", which moved these people and made them fully realize their mistakes. After feeling Suhlen's sincerity, these legendary masters took the initiative to express that the current situation was very good. They would absolutely support the rule of His Majesty Suhlen and Her Majesty Queen Phyllis.
Having a duchy and a kingdom was enough to support Suhlen's Floating City.
The surging elemental energy quickly gathered, and the whole Floating City rose again. After some repairs, Suhlen and Hathaway controlled the Floating City to rise again. Their goal this time was to head to the Astral Boundary.
Bringing the entire Floating-Space City into the Astral Plane consumed an astonishing amount of energy. The Elemental Fusion Furnace was operating at full capacity, and an unimaginable amount of Elemental Energy gushed out. A large amount of Elemental Energy was consumed, and even the Elemental Energy in the surrounding space was extracted in large quantities. A small Elemental Tide appeared here.
On the astrology platform, a dazzling spiritual light shot up into the sky. The spiritual light tore through the sky, and a powerful soul fluctuation was transmitted. A giant portal appeared, and then the huge floating city entered it.
In the boundless Astral World, darkness, deathly stillness, and emptiness were the eternal colors of this place. Occasionally, one or two comets would fly past at high speed. There was very little matter here. There was no air, no gravity, no water, and not even a sound. Everything was deathly still.
At this moment, in the depths of the Astral World, a dot of starlight flashed. Then, a huge bubble suddenly appeared in the void. If someone saw it, they would know that someone was traveling through space.
The bubble expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had expanded by more than ten times. Soon, the outline of a city appeared in the bubble. Accompanied by a flash of spiritual light, the bubble slowly disappeared, and a huge city appeared in front of them.
It was Suhlen's Floating-Space City. Although this Floating-Space City was very large in the material plane, it was as inconspicuous as a speck of dust in the Astral World.
"Is this the Astral World?" Alex, who had come to the Astral World for the first time, looked outside curiously. "It's not that great!"
"It doesn't feel as beautiful as the material plane."
"But there's so much Source Energy here. I feel like my spellcasting ability has directly increased by a level."
"That's natural. Source Energy can be directly integrated into the soul," Suhlen explained.
"It's good, but it's too dark around here!" Alex said.
Suhlen smiled slightly. "The Astral World has always been like this."
"Don't think that the Astral World is empty, dark, and deathly still. There are still many creatures living in the Astral World, such as the Astral Whale, Githian, Evil God, Abomination, or other Astral World travelers."
"It's still very dangerous here. Many ancient dragons that can't live in the prime material plane will also move their lairs to the Astral World. "
"In addition, there are space-time storms, spatial cracks, and so on."
"So, be careful in the Astral World," Suhlen said to them.
Hathaway stood on the astrology platform and observed the surrounding Astral World through the large star finder on the astrology platform. This thing was specially built by Hathaway for the Floating-Space City to travel in the Astral World. The star finder could observe all kinds of energy and matter in the Astral World. It could be used for warning and detection, and at the same time, it could be used to find planes.
Next to the star finder was a three-dimensional virtual imaging system, and on it was a star map of the Astral World around the Floating-Space City. This star map had just been created, and there was only the surrounding information. As a newbie who had just entered the Astral World, there was no star map, so they could only draw it themselves.
Suhlen was now a little regretful that he didn't meet an Astral Merchant and buy a star map from them. As merchants who traveled in various planes all year round, Astral Merchants had the most accurate star maps. Although it was impossible for them to take out the most accurate star maps to trade, it was much better to have a rough star map than now.
Hathaway kept using the star finder to observe the Astral World and recorded the coordinates of the Astral World on the star map. Next to the star map, a bright spot appeared, which was the newly recorded coordinates of the Astral World.
Astral World travel often used Astral World coordinates for ultra-long-distance teleportation. Because of the scarcity of materials in the Astral World, it was very easy to use teleportation spells. With the help of Astral World coordinates, it was easy to use teleportation spells and cross hundreds of millions of kilometers in a very short time. There were even special stargates that could teleport even further.
After entering the Astral World, the entire Floating-Space City was in a closed state. A powerful energy barrier enveloped the entire Floating-Space City. In order to make the people in the city live closer to the material plane, this barrier would show the scene of the sky. Of course, this was all an illusion.
The original corona and the lunar star also represented the sun and the moon, respectively. With them, the entire Floating-Space City had a day and night division, and the living environment was very similar to the main material plane.
"Now that the Floating-Space City is completed, there's nothing important to do next. After a while, let's go to the surrounding star region!" Suhlen said with a smile.
"That's for sure. I also want to go to other material planes to have a look. Maybe I can find some things left by the Arcane Kingdom," Hathaway said.
"Then our next goal is to find the Arcane Kingdom!" Suhlen said aloud.
"Agreed!"
