Desperate Night

Yu Hong exhaled a long breath in the main control room.

He turned and walked to the first floor.

The members of the Bitter Meditation Sect were all gathered here, their expressions relaxed, all showing the ease after tension.

"We're back! Was that Phoenix Eyes just now? So exciting! This old man has never seen such an exaggerated source disaster storm in his life," Chi Xiao said with emotion.

"The ship almost fell apart. We'll probably have to repair it for a long time before we can leave," Bitter Meditation said.

"I want to stay, stay here," Fissina said, looking out the window at the rapidly approaching airship of the Floating City.

"Me too, there might be hope of resurrecting my family here," Little White Dragon nodded in agreement.

"Is there anyone else who wants to stay? Raise your hand," Yu Hong looked at them and asked directly.

Swish!

Chi Xiao, Fissina, and White Dragon raised their hands together.

Bitter Meditation looked at Yu Hong and slowly raised his hand as well.

"I plan to try and see if the great resurrection technique and wish technique here can fulfill my wish."

Yu Hong nodded.

He actually understood that the reason these people followed him was simply because they wanted a stable environment and wanted to find hope of resurrecting their loved ones.

And now, the Floating City world showed this possibility, and it was more stable and safer.

Therefore, even Bitter Meditation was tempted.

He could understand.

"Captain, have you ever thought that you're also adventuring to find a stable environment to live your life? In that case, maybe this place can also meet your needs..." Bitter Meditation said.

"I can't," Yu Hong shook his head. "You can try, but I can't."

He had the Curse of Aggres on him, and because of the black mark, he would never place his hope for the future in external forces.

Seeing this, Bitter Meditation wanted to persuade him again, but Yu Hong stopped him with a raised hand.

"Actually, I thought there would be such a day," Yu Hong said, looking at Bitter Meditation and Chi Xiao, "but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"Captain..." Bitter Meditation hesitated.

Bitter Meditation and Chi Xiao exchanged glances and stopped talking.

Fissina looked at Little White Dragon, both of whom were from the arcane system and had a natural sense of familiarity and trust in this world.

Only Yi Yi was still sitting beside everyone, quietly watching this scene.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, becoming a little dull.

Until a few minutes later, the Floating City ship approached and stopped.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say?" The voice of the patrolling arcanist Harvey rang out again.

"Phoenix Eyes is not so easy to break through. It's not just wind disasters, but also black disasters, light disasters, and spiritual disasters. All the Phoenix Eyes of source disasters are an absolute turning point. Almost all those who can rush in rely on the consumption and accumulation of great forces that have existed for countless years to create ships with super-strong protection. Otherwise, with your small ship, I think it's very lucky that you can come back alive."

"Magister Harvey..." Yu Hong sighed, "Can you point out a place for us to stop and repair? We're not familiar with this place."

"Just don't stay here. Any of the surrounding two Floating Cities are fine. By the way, you can still jump, right? The nearest Great Earth Floating City is about thirty light-hours away," Harvey reminded.

"Light-hours... So far away!?" Yu Hong's mind started buzzing as soon as he heard this somewhat familiar unit.

"It's okay, it's a fortress after all. How about it? Do you want to stay too? It's not that I'm saying this, but many people like you, when they get here and find that they can't break through Phoenix Eyes no matter what, end up staying. Ninety-nine percent of them are not crew members of the Ark of Salvation, but they are all strong people who hope to find hope in source disasters on their own," Harvey said.

"So if you stay, there are quite a few people with common topics. Hahaha," Harvey laughed.

"Okay, just kidding, light-hours, haven't you heard of them? It's the distance that light travels in one hour," he explained.

The crew of the Dark Dark Spirit, except for Yi Yi, almost all understood instantly.

Bitter Meditation was a top student, Fissina was a knowledgeable deity, Little White Dragon was also a high-ranking mage, and Chi Xiao was even a big shot who had mixed with Heavenly Court Immortals and even the Great Emperor.

So as soon as Harvey said it, they understood how exaggerated this data was.

At the speed of the Dark Dark Spirit, it would probably take a lifetime to fly to another Floating City.

"Can we go to a closer place?" Yu Hong was silent for a while and said again.

As he spoke, he once again used his internal force to wrap a strengthened three-eyed dragon head and fly the eyeball out.

Harvey quickly caught it and checked it.

"Tsk tsk, good stuff! It's amazing that you can find something with such a high intensity and energy density! Okay, originally our Floating City doesn't allow foreign ships to stay for a long time, but for the sake of your treasure, I'll make you my relative's visiting identity. As long as there are fewer than a hundred crew members, you can stay for repairs and supplies. Of course, don't mention my name when you go out. I won't care if you cause trouble."

"Thank you!" Yu Hong said sincerely.

Although looking at the other party's familiarity, it was obvious that this practice of selling benefits for personal gain was not the first time.

But at this moment, this was the best repair point they could find.

Everywhere else, they had to worry about whether the world would be completely destroyed by the successive source disasters.

"Follow me," Harvey took the benefits, and his mood was obviously much better.

He turned the ship and led the Dark Dark Spirit towards the Floating City.

The huge Floating City looked like a group of sharp, icy blue mountain-like buildings from a distance.

As the distance closed, the two ships approached the crystal blue mountain on the far right.

The mountain became closer and closer, and its volume became larger and larger.

Tens of thousands of blue light spots were distributed on it. When they got closer, they realized that each light spot was a crystal window the size of a football field.

Inside these windows, there were golden and silver sand-like things flowing back and forth, emitting light.

"These are the windows of light, each of which is connected to a plane or a world. Our goods circulate to many places, and at the same time support those places in resisting source disasters," Harvey introduced with a hint of pride.

"The Floating City is divided into three levels from top to bottom: civilians, mages, and the Arcane Circle. More than 400 million creatures of various races live here, but no matter what race, if they are not mages, they are civilians. Civilians here must serve mages to survive. Therefore, everyone here aims to have a mage in their family as the ultimate goal," Harvey laughed.

Yu Hong listened to his explanation, although he was interested, he was more concerned about where his repair location was.

"Repair location, ah... it's almost here," Harvey was still reliable after receiving the benefits.

He led the Dark Dark Spirit around the blue crystal mountain. Soon, it descended towards a window of light on the mountain.

Poof!

The ship and the Dark Dark Spirit flew into this window of light together and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yu Hong and others were dazzled by the sudden strong light. Before they could adapt,

A gentle female voice slowly sounded in their minds.

"Welcome to Absolute Balance. This is registrar Emma. If you have any doubts, you can call out to the absolutely just and fair Absolute Balance in your heart. Emma will answer all your questions."

"By the way. Captain Yu, how old are you? I'm filling out the registration information here," Harvey's voice came over.

"Um... I'm twenty-five." Yu Hong didn't actually remember how old he was, but he vaguely remembered that he was only in his twenties.

"Huh? Two hundred and five? Oh. That's forty years younger than me," Harvey thought he had misheard and automatically corrected it.

Yu Hong heard it, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Because he heard Harvey's mumbling behind him.

What two hundred and fifty years old and his strength has reached the imperishable level, as expected, the captains of the Ark of Salvation are all different... What all captains are the same, not only are they not afraid of death, but their talents are also strong enough...

Hearing this, he thought it was better not to go into details.

Soon, Harvey seemed to have filled it out.

Emma's gentle female voice sounded again.

"Welcome, esteemed Harvey Arcanist's nephew, Yu. You can legally stay here permanently. Please abide by local laws and regulations. Absolute Balance welcomes your arrival."

Nephew??

Yu Hong was speechless. He didn't expect that he would inexplicably have the identity of Harvey's nephew.

On the other side, Bitter Meditation and others also heard a similar voice from Emma.

"Welcome, esteemed Harvey Arcanist's nephew, Yu's, servants. You can legally stay here permanently, but because your identity belongs to the civilian class, 74% of any income here will be turned over as a fee to maintain the basic operation of the Floating City. Thank you for your arrival. Your life is the most solid cornerstone of the Floating City."

"."

A group of people originally had beautiful hopes, especially Fissina. She was still counting on rising again here, switching to arcane arts, giving up her deity identity, becoming stronger again, and regaining her glory.

As a result...

Is this place really called Absolute Balance!?

More than 70% tax, and your life is the solid cornerstone, who would be willing to come here if these words were said so bluntly!?

A group of people looked at each other.

Soon, the light outside the window faded.

Two ships appeared above a vast blue lake.

The surrounding scenery was beautiful, the sun was shining, and flocks of birds flew past the ship.

The two ships slowly landed on a small island in the lake.

"Don't mind, haha, after all, we arcanists are not those capitalists. We always exploit people in an upright manner, saying how much is how much. This is also to avoid many people from having unrealistic fantasies when they come to the Floating City," Harvey said frankly.

"That's true," Yu Hong nodded in agreement.

The Floating City here is so powerful that there will definitely be many creatures from destroyed worlds trying to escape here. But the resources here cannot accept all refugees, so such immigration standards have been raised, which is understandable.

After the ship was parked on the beach,

Harvey, wearing a gray and white mage robe and a messy, chicken coop-like brown hair, jumped out of the side door of the ship.

He held a white jade scepter in his hand, coughed a few times, and walked towards the Dark Dark Spirit.

This person looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a face full of white stubble, but his eyes were very pure, the kind of pure that I really just want benefits and have no other thoughts.
