Sandora, Lin Xue, Alaya, and myself. We are a family of four (Alaya is almost a bound equipment, so it shouldn't be a problem to count us as a family, right?) We strolled along the Sky Avenue. The "discontinuous belt" incident made everyone tense up. The successful use of the "Omen" system brought us another great joy. We needed to take a relaxing stroll to calm down our emotions. After all, not everyone was like Shallow Shallow, whose nerves were so thick that they were on the verge of necrosis. Today's shocking news could easily cause people to have a nervous breakdown.
Although the Sky Avenue looked like the "main road" of the Celestial Realm, it was actually rarely used as a transportation route. Most of the people living in this city were used to flying, even people other than the Schilling Angel. So, the people patrolling here were basically mindless magical soldiers and the like. Most of the time, the Sky Avenue acted as the energy backbone of the Celestial Realm's cities, as well as the "sensing ruler" between the various buildings. These spectacular floating bridges that looked like sea urchins could precisely shape the Celestial Realm's cities and make it easier to add new buildings or change the structure of the three-dimensional city. Both sides of each Sky Avenue were distributed with countless sensing reference points. These reference points interweaved into a three-dimensional giant grid. They were the rulers and could also generate spatial coordinates. All the buildings in the Celestial Realm's cities were located in this sensing grid and could be changed at any time. They could even quickly adjust the city's functions through spatial teleportation. I didn't know about these things at first. It was only when I was chatting with Alleria that I heard the kite angel mention it.
Heaven's Vault Avenue had many other similar functions. These magnificent bridges in the sky could be said to be the foundation of the cities in the Heavens — but these high-end things didn't have much meaning to me. The scenery here was pretty good, and that was enough.
The clouds rumbled beneath their feet, and the faint sound of wind chimes could be heard from afar, and it seemed to never stop. The wind chimes were the natural sounds of the buildings in the mystical realm. Though it was endless, it was never annoying. We walked on this long bridge above the clouds, looking at the sea of clouds and the palace in the sky. It felt like we were walking in the Kingdom of the Gods in the fairy tales … Well, strictly speaking, this was not wrong. This place was the Kingdom of the Gods, although the Gods who lived here were a little unreliable.
"If Shallow shallow came here, she would have jumped down a dozen times by now," Sandora muttered as she looked at the rolling sea of clouds. Sometimes, this layer of clouds would spread to the surface of Sky Vault Avenue, making it almost impossible to see the road clearly with the naked eye. This was naturally quite thrilling, but it was undeniable that the scenery of the "Cloudy Slope" was also a great view. When I brought Shallow shallow here in the past, she loved the scenery of the "Cloud Slope" the most. She would often have the sudden urge to jump down and see where she would fall. The Celestial Realm Metropolis was a huge spherical city with complicated artificial gravity. If you jumped down from the upper avenue, you might float in the air and you might land somewhere. So it was a very thrilling and interesting exercise. Sometimes, Shallow shallow would jump up and down here for half a day. Her most glorious achievement was smashing Alleria six times in a row …
I looked at the thin clouds beneath my feet and the magnificent scenery around me. I sighed from the bottom of my heart. "I don't know how many times Shallow shallow will jump down, but I know that Alaya will definitely fall down again …"
As soon as I said that, I saw a ray of holy light shoot out from the clouds not far away. Alaya flew out in a panic. "Brother Monarch, I just hit someone!"
"To be honest, sometimes I feel that the Apostles of the Mystics and the Technological Apostles have a big difference in personality." I pulled Alaya over and combed her slightly messy feathers as I spoke to Sandora. "Look at this city. It looks so leisurely. Even the Apostles of the Mystics look slow and unhurried."
"That's why Raven always says that the Scorpions are boorish. They think of themselves as graceful spellcasters," Sandora said with a smile. "The Apostles of the Mystics like to solve problems elegantly and efficiently. However, don't think that they are really gentle. There isn't much 'softness' in the bones of the Shiring Apostles. Even the muddle-headed Angel beside you is an all-powerful figure on the battlefield."
I glanced at Alaya and she flashed me a silly smile. She nodded her head vigorously and said, "Yes, Brother Monarch. I am very decisive on the battlefield."
I decided to reduce the amount of time I spent looking at Alaya to preserve my intelligence. I turned my head to look into the distance. The nearest facility was a large plaza. More than ten soldiers wearing the Empire's Mystics military uniform (similar to a normal military uniform, but with some differences in the decorations) were currently commanding a large number of Mana Servants to test a large piece of equipment. Further away, there were many other bustling scenes like this.
"This place is really getting lively." Lin Xue also looked around with me and revealed a rather emotional expression. "It's getting lively even faster than the Shadow City."
"It's a pity that most races aren't used to living in this kind of place." I looked at the surrounding sea of clouds and the beautiful floating palaces that were challenging the limits of their acrophobia. I shrugged my shoulders helplessly. "Look at this place, there's a pit every three steps and a bump every five steps. Only those with strong mental fortitude would dare to live here."
The Celestial City had always been a place that was kept closed off from the public. Before this, it had the highest access authority among the capital cities of the Empire. It far exceeded that of the Shadow City and Avalon. However, the reason for this was that the Mother Planet of the Mystics had just been activated and needed to be rebuilt on a large scale. Furthermore, the Mystics of the Empire were still highly classified and couldn't be leaked to the outside world. Now, these two reasons basically didn't affect the Celestial City anymore. The reconstruction and restoration project was nearing completion. All that was left was to expand and add more facilities. As this place slowly expanded, the periphery of the Celestial City could be opened to the Servant Army like the Shadow City. After that, it would be opened to the macro world. In addition, the Mystics of the Empire were no longer classified. Even the Fallen Apostles knew that we had a Mana Army. There was no need to hide the Celestial City anymore.
However, even though it was open, I was still curious how many people would dare to live in such a magical place …
Look, Alaya fell down again.
The Sky Avenue was the standard framework and "theoretical path" of the Celestial City (in other words, it was a path that not many people used). There were a few main paths that connected to a few special places. The path that we were standing on led to the Kingdom of the Giant Dragon.
At the end of the silver path was a gigantic floating island. The floating island and the avenue were "fused" together in a natural manner. It was as if a silver bridge had been extended from the floating island. This floating island was the symbolic "gate" of the Kingdom of the Giant Dragon. After passing through the floating island and passing through a wall-like layer of clouds, one could see the floating mountain range that looked like an archipelago on the sea. That was the home of the Guardian Dragons. When the Guardian Dragons of the Celestial City weren't on patrol duty, they would live in this place. Speaking of which, it had been a long time since we had been here. I didn't know how the Guardian Dragons with their personalities were doing. Since we had nothing to do, we followed the Sky Avenue all the way to the Kingdom of the Giant Dragon. (Of course, since this path was rather long, we had to fly for part of the way.) The moment we passed through the wall of clouds that hid the entire floating island, I saw a silver-white flying dragon fly right in front of us. After that, the dragon twisted its body in the air to look in our direction. It then hurriedly turned around and flew back. "Ah! Boss Emperor, Your Majesty!"
I said, "… Char, what's with the way you address me?"
The silver dragon created a floating ice platform in the air and stopped on it. It scratched its head with its dragon wings. "I've been researching the information network for the past two days. I was a little confused by the messy things on it … Boss, Your Majesty, how did you find the time to come here?"
"Err … I had nothing to do, so I came to take a look." I raised my head and looked around. Suddenly, I noticed that the floating mountain range in the distance was turned upside down. "Why did that mountain collapse again?"
"Didn't Lady Lin come here a while ago? She knocked it over." The silver dragon Char swung its tail and said nonchalantly, "Now that the mountain can no longer support the dragon, we specially used it for Lady Lin to slow down. There's also a counter on the mountain. Every time it flips over, it counts the number of times Lady Lin descends."
I was speechless.
That clumsy dragon with weird strength really gave me a lot of trouble.
At that moment, I heard the sound of giant wings flapping in the air from afar. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw another dragon that looked different from the guardian dragons poking its head out of the clouds. This dragon flew rapidly towards us and saw us from afar. It suddenly let out a long roar — it might have been a greeting, but I definitely couldn't understand what it meant.
However, when this wyvern got close to us and turned into a human in midair, I recognized her. She had a tall and slender figure, dark and simple leather armor, short silver hair, a beautiful but stiff and distant face, and thin lavender lips. Wasn't this Sonya whom I had met in the Gemini Star world a while ago?
"Hey, Sonya, you're here?" I greeted her with surprise. Although Sonya was currently in human form, she was still floating steadily in midair just like us. She smiled at us. "Should I call you Her Majesty or something else?"
"Whatever. I don't care." I waved my hand and looked at her in surprise. "You know how to smile?"
"What's so strange about smiling?" Sonya looked at me in surprise. "Have I never smiled before?"
"You used to smile a little better than crying," Lin Xue ridiculed. "Most of the time, your expression was like a plaster."
"It's just that there wasn't anything worth being happy about in the past." Sonya's expression was calm. "I wasn't used to it for the first few days. After all, I haven't truly smiled for over two thousand years. But now, it's no longer a problem. Oh right, since you don't mind, can I continue to call you Chen? I don't want to be captured by your guards. "
I turned to look at Chael. "You can call me whatever you want. It's still more normal than the way this guy calls me."
This was the first time I had met Sonya since we parted ways in the Gemini Star of Redmunn-Hazenwood. Her complexion was much better than before. Although her appearance was still the same, there was a lingering sense of loneliness and alienation lingering around her. Even when she was with a few of her friends, she always gave off a feeling of sadness. But now, Sonya seemed to be livelier. Her originally cold face had become lively. Perhaps she didn't notice this change, but outsiders like us could easily see it.
"How are you doing now?" I looked at Sonya with a smile. She returned a faint but sincere smile. "If I have to describe it, it's like I've come back to life … The chaotic days of two thousand years have finally come to an end. Before this, I didn't know what the meaning of living was. But now, it feels like I'm alive again. The dragons here are different from my people. But just as you said, the dragons in every world are essentially the same. Being with them really makes me feel like I've returned home. "
"Are you planning to stay in the city of Heaven for a long time? Or are you going back? "Lin Xue asked Sonya about her future plans.
"Anyway, I can come and go as I please. I'll be returning to Hazenwood after staying here for a while." Sonya blinked. "There are still four busy fellows waiting for me to help them. I don't dare to leave them at this time."
Hearing Sonya mention the matter of Hazenwood-Redmunn, I became curious about the current situation of Blockhead and the others. "What are they busy with recently?"
Although Sonya had been staying in the city of Heaven recently, she must have been paying attention to the matters of her hometown. She must be very familiar with the situation of her old friends.
"Edwinsa is busy making the story of the Goddess purifying the Dim Moon a little more complete and then spreading it to the world. There are already some Dim Moon citizens who have shown up near the church as' cleaners'. It is said that the situation is very smooth and there are no disturbances. Blockhead is reorganizing the order of his Dim Moon while cooperating with Edwinsa to prepare to reopen the Earth-Moon Bridge. Antil woke up a long time ago and has just figured out what happened during her two thousand years of hibernation. She is helping Edwinsa and Blockhead run between the two planets, creating miracles and working hard to allow the two planets to communicate normally. As for Lily … she is still the same, trying her best to be a good wife behind Blockhead and continue her unrequited love. "
"Does she intend to continue her unrequited love?" Lin Xue exclaimed in surprise.
"Who knows?" Sonya shrugged. "There seems to be some changes. I heard from Edwinsa that Lily is taking the initiative to attack, but she is currently still trapped in her unrequited love."
The few of us laughed dryly in tacit understanding. Lin Xue grabbed Sonya's arm and said earnestly, "You have to attack forcefully, otherwise you will only be able to continue your unrequited love! You must go and remind that cat to attack forcefully! Especially when she fell in love with a guy whose brain is as dumb as a rock. If you meet this kind of trash, you have to bite with all your might … "
I gawked at the young miss. "How much resentment do you have?"
Lin Xue turned and rolled her eyes at me charmingly. "Shut up, you blockhead."
Sonya looked at us blankly. Then, she muttered thoughtfully, "Looks like you guys have a story too?"
"I have a lot of stories with this blockhead." The missy, who used to be as pure as water when it came to relationships, was now at the age where she could openly date people. She poked my arm as she chatted with Sonya. "That blockhead looks dumber than a blockhead. I'm really worried that the cat won't be able to handle him … How about this, when I have time, I will personally teach the cat a few moves. I have some secret manuals here …"
Sandora and I were stunned. I even patted Lin Xue's arm and said, "You want to teach someone like that? You were so awkward back then, you didn't even know how to speak properly … "
"Move aside. That's an attack, do you understand?" Lin Xue said as she took out a few books from her portable space and handed them to Sonya. "Take these. Back then, I used these secret manuals when I was dawdling with this blockhead. The ones at the top are Western, and the ones at the bottom are Chinese. Tell the cat to focus on the chapters on joint techniques and women's self-defense …"
I quickly pulled the missy over and pinched her cheeks. "Don't bring disaster to people!"
Today, I finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the missy's martial arts. It turned out that the 'attack' this girl was talking about was her awkward and tsundere style. With her attack methods and the pile of secret manuals, it would take a person with a good physique to withstand it … Oh, the blockhead's physique seems to be pretty good. Let's not worry about it then.
I let go of Lin Xue and said to Sonya earnestly, "Let the little black cat learn well. When the time comes, we will go to the hospital to find the blockhead."
Sonya was in a state of confusion the whole time. "?"
After that, we understood the situation of the other world fragments of Gemini Star. Of course, Sonya didn't know about the situation, but the Silver Dragon Char had led a group of Dragon Aspects to participate in the receiving of those world fragments, so he knew more about it.
All the world fragments were safely in place. Now, they were merged into a blank universe. Furthermore, they were all settled in a brand new star system. The new home was as compatible as possible with their old environment. The World Spare Parts Manufacturing Center even worked overtime to create two special models of stars for the natives to use. The immigrants in the world fragment already knew what had happened. As expected, there was some chaos. However, with the efforts of the Tree Elf Ambassadors, the initial chaos was safely passed. The immigrants were basically able to accept the fact that they had just experienced the end of the world. In any case, those who couldn't accept it had already jumped off the building.
Now, this new world was named after Gemini Star. It was called "Reedmunn-Heisenwood World." Of course, other than this name, it also had a serial number, but I couldn't remember it.
"There was a slight problem when we were setting up the starry sky," Char said in a booming voice. "There is a race that uses astrology as their main culture. They have always treated the stars in the sky as the truth of the universe. In the end, all the stars in the sky have been changed. They insist that this is a sign that the world has been overturned, and that this overturn will spread to the surface sooner or later. This race is still in an ignorant period, so they don't understand the concept of planets. We can't possibly move all the stars in the sky just to make them look pleasing to the eye."
"How did you solve it in the end?" I glanced at Char.
"We, the Dragon race, were only there to help maintain order. The ones who solved the problem were the religious experts of the Goddess of Life. They taught the locals how to draw cards and throw straw sticks, which perfectly solved the problem …"
I was speechless. "… That bunch of scammers!"
