“Yi-ge, should we…?” Little Brown whispered from the side.

For his abilities, no one was un-ignitable, no one was un-burnable.

“No, you’re not his match.” Li Cheng颐 sensed a strong aura of Shadow Dragon from the other party. If it were before, he naturally wouldn't be able to sense such an aura.

But now that his Shadow Dragon bloodline had been raised to the ordinary level, he could roughly feel the other party's background.

“Those three guys are likely not from the real world system, just like us.”

Hearing this, Little Brown was a little surprised and looked up at the Shadow Dragon Saal and the other two.

“Let’s go.”

Li Cheng颐 took the lead, following the temporarily pulled-out passage to the outside.

The others followed closely behind.

Just as they walked out of the passage and were about to enter the elevator to leave the airport, a boy dressed in a yellow, gold-patterned dragon robe was already waiting there in advance.

The boy was only seven or eight years old, a little over a meter tall, with a handsome and indifferent face. But when he saw Li Cheng颐 and his group, he naturally revealed a gentle smile.

“Yi-ge.” Like the people from the Garden of Destiny, he used the same title.

“Third Highness?”

Third Prince Zhou Shuo.

Also the prince they rescued from the assassination in Chao Yu last time.

The Ideal Township and Xing Hu joined forces to assassinate him. If Li Cheng颐 hadn't been there, it might have succeeded.

“I heard you were coming, so I specifically came here to wait.” Zhou Shuo said seriously. “This is An Du, and it should be my responsibility to play host.”

His words showed that he didn't see himself as a prince at all, but as an ordinary person like Li Cheng颐 and the others.

Li Cheng颐 looked at this Third Prince, who was seven or eight years old on the outside but actually fourteen or fifteen, and roughly understood the other party's purpose.

Before in Chao Yu, they had formed a deep connection. In any case, Zhou Shuo couldn't not express his gratitude for saving his life.

So, this time, personally putting aside his status and coming to pick them up was the natural thing to do.

“Then we won’t be polite. Please lead the way, Third Highness.” Li Cheng颐 nodded and smiled.

“Follow me. This is your first time in An Du, and you may have a deep impression of this place.” Zhou Shuo turned and walked into the elevator.

“Oh? Why?” Li Cheng颐 asked.

“Because this is the leading one of the only four self-circulating cities in Yi Country, and it's different from any other place.” Zhou Shuo smiled, turning around, facing the inside of the elevator with his back to the crowd.

“Everyone, please look here.”

He reminded them.

The people from the Garden of Destiny were a little strange, but they all faced the metal wall inside the elevator, just like him.

Buzz…

The elevator began to rise rapidly.

The subtle sound of high-speed friction indicated that the elevator's speed far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

“We are now rising rapidly at a speed of thousands of meters per second. Because we are in a vacuum tube, no sonic boom or sharp hiss is transmitted.” Zhou Shuo introduced.

“Next, everyone, please pay attention to the outside.”

He had just finished speaking.

About three seconds later.

Buzz!

In an instant, the entire inner wall of the elevator vibrated slightly.

After the vibration, the inner wall changed from silver to translucent, revealing the outside scenery.

Pure golden sunlight, projected through the glass from the outside sky, dyed everyone's face golden.

The azure sky, floating white clouds, and a huge disc-shaped mechanical city floating in the middle of the white clouds instantly came into everyone's eyes.

The disc-shaped city was white mixed with gold patterns, like a spinning top, constantly rotating slowly.

At the same time, there were densely packed blue and red light spots flying in and out around it.

Those were countless flying vehicles and floating modified humans, mixed with a few flying instruments.

On the huge disc city, four huge golden horns pierced into the sky, each with extremely complex circuit lights and matching gaps.

Around the disc city, there were four huge white waterfalls, flying straight down from the edge, crossing tens of thousands of meters, and smashing to the ground.

Strangely, the places where these waterfalls landed were all streets flashing with dark red light spots.

And the white waterfalls smashed to the ground, turning into smoke and dissipating in an instant, as if they never existed from the beginning.

Li Cheng颐 and the others looked at the white and gold floating city, and were shocked for a while.

The size of the city could be seen from the rental flying vehicles they usually ride.

Countless rental flying vehicles more than ten meters long were entering and exiting at its edges, like floating dust. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell they were flying vehicles.

The white and gold disc city was slowly flashing countless white and blue light spots around it.

“Welcome to An Du.” Third Prince Zhou Shuo turned his head, looked at the stunned crowd, and showed a happy and proud smile.

“This is the highest capital of Yi Country, and also the most tightly secured city in the entire Earth-Moon region.”

“The entire An Du is floating in the sky?” Long Men Diao couldn't help but ask.

“Strictly speaking, the City of Heaven is only a part of An Du. The other half is underground, and its name is the City of Black.” Zhou Shuo smiled. “All nobles, elites, and high-class citizens live in the City of Heaven. The rest of the ordinary people live in the underground City of Black.”

“What about the ground? There are also many urban buildings on the ground, right?” Li Cheng颐 asked.

“Those are buffer zones. In essence, both the City of Heaven and the City of Black require certain qualifications to enter. We call the ground part the Gray Belt, which is used for the living dead.”

“The living dead?”

“Those who are cloned and resurrected are the living dead. They are not accepted by the outside world, but their protecting families and relatives hope that they continue to exist, so after weighing the pros and cons, they are placed in the Gray Belt.”

“And in order to distinguish them, all Gray Belt people will be marked with a special sign to distinguish themselves from ordinary people.” Zhou Shuo said these things with a calm expression, obviously such a system has continued for who knows how long.

The elevator was rising higher and higher at this time, and in a blink of an eye, it penetrated the white clouds and reached an altitude of 20,000 meters.

The clouds turned into a white sea, laid out under everyone's feet.

Under the backdrop of the light blue atmosphere and white clouds, the white and gold City of Heaven was like a sacred kingdom, quietly floating in the high sky.

From here, you could see some of the high-rise buildings at the top of the City of Heaven.

Ka-cha.

The elevator stopped at this time, and the door slowly opened. Outside was the interior of a pure white, spacious, and gorgeous flying warship.

Li Cheng颐 and his party entered the warship with amazement and shock.

As the huge, hot-air-balloon-like warship slowly turned.

The group saw again the other huge warship that was also floating away.

That was the three Shadow Dragons of Shadow Eater, who were also dispatched at this time.

Li Cheng颐 glanced at the other party from a distance, ignored them, and instead focused his attention on the City of Heaven.

“The City of Heaven is the logistics and maintenance base of the Tai Yi Palace. According to the rules, you will formally meet Father Emperor here.”

The warship accelerated, and streams of ribbon-like blue particles were ejected from the rear, pushing the hull towards the City of Heaven.

About ten minutes later, after passing through layers of invisible force fields, the white warship slowly attached to the outer wall of the City of Heaven.

The connecting passage slowly opened and connected.

Zhou Shuo and a team of guards led the people from the Garden of Destiny out and into a silver-gray, spacious mechanical hall. Everyone stood on a fast conveyor belt, moving quickly towards the center of the City of Heaven.

Before long, coincidentally, on another conveyor belt on the left, Shadow Dragon Saal and the other two were also rushing towards the center, led by a team of people.

“We meet again…” Saal licked his lips, staring at Li Cheng颐, his golden dragon eyes revealing a hint of greed and desire.

The Shadow Dragon clan didn’t have much bloodline to begin with, and most of it had been reduced due to the massive devouring of their clan.

It can be said that most Shadow Dragons live alone, at most cultivating some Dragonspawn to serve them. It is rare for Shadow Dragons to live and cooperate together.

Saal and the other two were actually considered outliers. It was precisely because of such outliers that they worked together to continuously devour other Shadow Dragons in the dangerous environment of the Black Sea, purify their bloodlines, and strengthen themselves.

Li Cheng颐 was too lazy to pay attention to the strange gaze from the opposite side, so he simply stood in place, listening to the Third Prince's simple introduction to the situation in An Du.

The City of Heaven, the City of Black, and the Gray Belt together formed the complex ecosystem of An Du.

This city was composed of people from three levels.

Heavenly People, Black Citizens, and Gray Citizens.

As the conveyor belt moved quickly, soon, the two groups left the mechanical hall and rushed into the bright golden sunlight outside.

In the light, they were like two dark line segments, moving rapidly on the white and gold metal walls, approaching one of the horns of the City of Heaven.

The strong wind blew, causing the robes of the crowd to rustle.

Li Cheng颐 looked around.

On the left was the high sky outside the City of Heaven.

On the right was the inner city area. In the urban area, all the ground was paved with golden tiles.

Countless mushroom-umbrella-shaped golden buildings stood in the city, with dense highways below.

Vehicles and flying vehicles were like countless streams, flowing quickly and densely along the highways.

“Living here for a long time is actually very lonely and boring.” Zhou Shuo said from the side.

“Why?” Li Cheng颐 asked. “Isn’t it very beautiful and clean here?”

“Have you seen people?” Zhou Shuo asked.

“…” As soon as these words came out, everyone carefully observed and found that apart from the traffic flow in the inner city, it seemed that they really didn’t see many people walking outside.

“There are very few people in the City of Heaven. This city fortress, which is enough to accommodate tens of millions of people, actually only houses tens of thousands of people. Most of the rest are automated control production lines, attack and defense modules, and so on…” Zhou Shuo said.

He paused.

“And we royals, from birth to death, are not allowed to casually contact ordinary people outside. Even if we leave An Du, we will only act under countless surveillance, and every move must conform to royal etiquette.”

Li Cheng颐 and the others inexplicably understood his feelings. Without freedom, loneliness, and isolation, it was no wonder that Zhou Shuo still didn’t have many rich expressions at this age.

Soon, the conveyor belt arrived at the bottom of the horn.

A team of burly warriors wearing gorgeous dragon-patterned white gold heavy armor guarded the huge metal gate more than ten meters high.

They held golden halberds in their hands, and a strange blue light symbol was shining in the center of their white cloaks. Each of them was at least two meters tall.

Li Cheng颐's group and Shadow Eater's group walked together from the passage formed by the white gold heavy armored warriors.
