Tearing through the air, it pierced the sky with a muffled, thunderous roar.

As it flew higher and higher, the towering buildings, continuous mountain ranges, and winding rivers on the ground rapidly shrank and were eventually obscured by thick clouds.

Through the round window, there was an endless sea of ​​clouds outside, the sunlight gilding the edges of the clouds, a magnificent sight beyond words.

The barrage of comments poured down like a waterfall.

[People from Niuxiang: My God! It really flew! That huge lump of iron really flew!!! How come it didn't fall down?]

[Commoner Yang Hu: Look out the window! ...Those are clouds!? The clouds are down there!? They're flying higher than the clouds!!! This...this is definitely divine intervention!]

[Commoner Wang Danzi: I wonder if it's cold or windy up there. If I could go up to heaven in my lifetime, it would be worth dying for...]

[The common people immediately exclaimed: "The iron bird's belly doesn't seem to be shaking at all! Such a huge thing flies so steadily! Immortal Lin Ye truly possesses divine abilities!"]

[Commoner Li Zi: The eldest princess is truly blessed! Being an immortal is so much more comfortable than being a princess in the mortal realm. I wish I had that kind of destiny...]

……

Just then, the view from the sky suddenly receded, abruptly widening and rising from the narrow frame of the porthole to a chilling panoramic view—

That giant, silvery-white bird hung alone above the boundless sea of ​​clouds, like a feather blown by the wind, drifting aimlessly.

Below it, the clouds were as thick as land, and no trace of earth, rivers, or cities could be seen.

All around, there were clouds and sky, making it almost impossible to breathe.

[Commoner Sun Daniu: Ah!!! I...I'm so dizzy! How...how high is this?! Where's the ground? I can't even see the ground!]

[Wang Erpang, a commoner: Oh my god! If I fall down like this... I don't even want to think about it! I don't even want to think about it!]

[Master Feng Zhiyuan of Xiaoshan Academy: At such a height... if one were to fall carelessly, even the most indestructible body would be shattered to pieces! How could Lin Ye... dare to take such a perilous risk? The eldest princess is still so young!]

[Aunt Wu, a local resident: God help me! God help me! Please don't fall! Please don't fall!]

……

Countless people in the Great Flame Kingdom stared wide-eyed and looked up, their mouths agape in shock, envy, or awe as the iron bird carried people and flew freely in the clouds.

However, those emotions were also mixed with an instinctive fear of the boundless height and a worry about the possibility of accidents.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shu Jingwei gripped the armrest of the dragon throne tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Her mouth was agape, her jaw was almost dislocated, and her pupils reflected the flying iron bird.

She considered countless possibilities—

It will crash hard into the house at the end of the road, it will explode, it will fall apart.

But I never imagined it could actually fly.

Shu Jingwei now even felt her legs were going weak, a feeling of exhaustion shooting up her spine, almost making her fall back onto that cold dragon throne.

The image transmitted from the sky—

The rapidly shrinking earth, the clouds rushing towards us and then easily left behind, and finally the flight stabilizing above the sea of ​​clouds...

It brings not only a shock that overturns our understanding, but also a kind of fear and dizziness about that height that comes from a life instinct.

Looking down from that height, people appear like ants, and the landscape resembles a game of chess...

"Soaring above the nine heavens..." Her voice was dry and hoarse, and deep in her eyes surged extreme shock.

But beneath this wave of shock, an even more intense desire suddenly surged forth!

She was an empress!

By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!

That ability to look down upon all living beings and soar through the heavens must belong to her!

She should be the one standing at the highest point, looking down upon the world!

Lin Ye? What makes him so special? Some charlatan who appeared out of nowhere, a charlatan pretending to be a ghost!

And that daughter she didn't want anymore!

What right do they have to enjoy a level of luxury and happiness that even she, the emperor, could not imagine?

Everything Lin Ye displayed, whether it was the magical light screen or the flying iron bird, all of it should have been hers!

It has to be hers!

Once she captures Lin Ye and interrogates him to reveal all his secrets, all these supernatural powers will belong to her, Shu Jingwei!

At that time, she will ride on this iron bird, no, she will ride on an even bigger and more magnificent imperial carriage to tour her land, making all people kneel at her feet and tremble in awe!

Intense jealousy and a twisted possessiveness instantly overwhelmed her initial fear, causing an unnatural blush to rise on Shu Jingwei's pale cheeks.

She stared intently at Lin Ye's calm face and Xiao Douzi's excited smile on the sky, her eyes filled with such venom that they seemed to bleed.

Just you wait... You all just wait! I am the one destined by Heaven!

Yao Jingyuan sat at the lower end of the table, his fingers digging into the flesh of his palms.

There was no collision, no explosion, and it didn't fall apart!

The sheer awe of the iron bird taking flight made his previous gloating seem like a complete joke.

However, as the plane flew higher and higher until it finally soared into the sea of ​​clouds, his resentment and apprehension were quickly replaced by a darker expectation.

So what if it flies?

Such a huge and heavy iron object, defying the laws of nature, was forcibly lifted into the air. How could it last long?

This is an absolute gamble that puts your life on the line!

Lin Ye must have used some kind of sorcery or evil magic to barely activate the iron bird. It looks stable now, but who knows if it is on the verge of collapse inside?

The enormous roar was terrifying to hear; it must have been the groan of the iron bird, unable to bear the weight any longer!

The higher you fly, the harder you fall!

Yao Jingyuan stared intently at the sky, watching the iron bird soar through the boundless sea of ​​clouds. Looking at the dizzying height outside the porthole, the malice in his heart grew wildly like a poisonous vine.

However, the scene in the sky did not turn out as he had hoped.

The plane continued flying, swiftly and steadily.

At first, Xiao Douzi excitedly peered out the window, exclaiming "Wow!" and "So beautiful!" from time to time, but after a while, he got a little tired of it.

Seeing this, Lin Ye turned on the small screen in front of her and selected an animated movie for her.

The people of the Great Flame Kingdom were once again agitated when they saw that the cube could release moving, brightly colored little figures.

[Commoners: What's in that square? A moving picture? A little person! The little person is moving! And it can talk!]

[Commoners: Look at those little figures, so colorful, hopping and jumping, they're much more realistic than shadow puppets! How did they get in there? Can a living person fit inside such a small square?]

[The common people: It's not a living person! It's a painting! A moving painting! That Immortal Lin Ye can even bring paintings to life!!!]

[He Wei, Chief Clerk of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works: What kind of board is that? Why does it shine so brightly? Why can it imprison living creatures to play within it?! It is neither gold nor jade, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it can manifest the vast world! This, this is definitely not human craftsmanship!]

[Zhou Shuyuan, Chief Painter of Danqing Pavilion: It moved! The painting moved! This... this is capturing the soul into that square board?! What kind of evil magic... no... what kind of divine skill! If one could learn this technique, how could one not paint beautiful landscapes and figures with such power?!]

……

However, as the movie reached its climax, the discussions gradually subsided, and the scrolling of the bullet comments also slowed down.

The crowd watched the exaggerated and amusing scenes and heard the cheerful music and conversations coming from them.

The children, in particular, were completely engrossed in the film, forgetting their earlier shock and fear, and bursting into giggles.

Even adults watched intently, finding it novel and interesting.

After some time, Xiao Douzi's eyelids began to droop.

Lin Ye turned off the screen, adjusted Xiao Douzi's seat to make her more comfortable, and covered her with a thin blanket.

"Little one, take a nap. We'll be there when you wake up."

Little Douzi nodded obediently, yawned, and slowly closed his eyes under Lin Ye's gentle gaze.

On the sky, the view shifted to the clouds outside the window, white and fluffy, seemingly within reach.

Inside the first-class cabin, all was quiet and peaceful.

That enormous iron bird, carrying hundreds of people, soared at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

This unbelievable scene left countless people of the Great Flame Kingdom speechless.

Fear, shock, confusion, longing...

A mix of complex emotions surged within me.

Flying, an ability originally only found in legends of immortals and gods, can now be achieved by riding this iron bird.

Just how much divine power does Lin Ye possess?

Time passed slowly.

Until a certain moment—

The plane suddenly began to descend!
