Light Fortress

Chapter 1789 - 423: Dual-layered Golden Divine Domain

The blinding white sun shone at the far end of Chanyi City.

The West Continent Cloud Ship Fleet reached the throat of the Northwest Fortress. Meng Xizhou silently watched the screen; her last spiritual link lasted only a few seconds before breaking. She just watched as Gu Nanfeng’s Eastern Continent Fleet sailed into the void.

Just now, the wanted notice had spread throughout the deep water area.

The West Continent had also received it.

"...Did he just leave like that?"

Meng Xizhou sighed softly.

Batu watched this scene and consoled, "Lady Divine, some matters shouldn’t be forced. Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen have an excellent relationship. He’s surely trying to get a head start to investigate the case outside the fortress."

"Hmm."

Meng Xizhou took a deep breath, steadied her mood, and said slowly, "What we are doing upon leaving the fortress this time is extremely important... Even if we connect with Nanfeng, we cannot travel together; it’s good they went ahead."

Batu silently clenched his fists.

He looked at those sacrificials prepared by the cloud ship.

Indeed.

This time, what Light City is doing away from the fortress is very important... there cannot be any mistakes.

The Cloud Ship Fleet halted its advance in the skies over Chanyi City.

Wei Cheng stood alone in front of the cloud ship. Behind him was the fully assembled Second Army’s mobilized fleet.

"Sorry, Chanyi City is in turmoil now; I can’t let you head to the [Old World] just like that."

Wei Cheng didn’t treat Meng Xizhou like Gu Nanfeng... Everyone in the upper echelons of the Five Continents knew about these two’s relationship, but what did it matter to him?

The reason for allowing Gu Nanfeng was that the East Continent is the North Continent’s most reliable ally!

Over the years, the convergence plan had been implemented smoothly.

The two continents supported each other, and Wei Cheng and Gu Nanfeng were comrades in the army in earlier years... But what about Light City? The Hidden Children placed by Light City in the North Continent Fortress haven’t been completely uncovered yet. Those ugly incidents from the Scarlet War haven’t been exposed, but Wei Cheng had heard a little.

The North Continent Army’s most disliked force today is not the Source Tower, but Light City!

Former friends, a stab in the back.

It’s not a pleasant feeling.

"We are here to help Chanyi City."

Meng Xizhou knew the bad relations between Light City and the North Continent and those unresolved old cases from the past... Some things can’t be solved just by apologizing. Even though she just ascended the temple’s high position and wanted to make amends, it takes time.

So, at this moment, she could only slow her tone as much as possible to show her sincerity.

"Chanyi City does not need your help."

Wei Cheng said calmly, "We have sufficient strength to protect ourselves."

"The federal law specifies that the permissions for leaving the [Old World] are temporarily controlled by the frontier of the fortress... All humans have the right to leave the Five Continents and explore the [Old World]."

Batu spoke up.

He knew not to argue at this moment, but with Meng Xizhou’s character, she might really be stopped, so he brought out the law.

"...So you just want to leave the Five Continents?"

Wei Cheng said expressionlessly, "If you insist on leaving, Chanyi City won’t stop you, but the Giant Wall and Umbrella Defense Line will not provide any feedback data or help."

"We don’t need it."

Batu continued, "We just hope to leave now, as soon as possible."

"Sorry, you need to wait."

Wei Cheng glanced at the Light City’s Cloud Ship Fleet and said lightly, "More and more source energy boats are approaching Chanyi City. If everyone demands to go out of the fortress, what should Chanyi City do? Activating the ’Umbrella Defense Line’ consumes a lot of source material and resources."

"How long?"

Meng Xizhou asked quietly.

Wei Cheng turned to leave, "I can’t give a definite time response. But the passage of large cloud ships and fleets is very troublesome, requiring special reporting and annotations."

"If I recall correctly, if it’s an individual small to medium source energy boat leaving the giant wall, special reporting and annotation are not required, right..."

In the next moment, Meng Xizhou’s words made him stop.

Wei Cheng looked at the Goddess with a headache.

As the temporary garrison of the fortress, he holds considerable power, but if the other party follows the process...

It’s hard for him to stop them.

Minutes later.

Meng Xizhou boarded a medium-sized cloud ship carrying less than thirty people and sailed out of the giant wall of Chanyi City.

The reason for the urgent departure was because they were carrying an important mission.

That was to summon the Light God’s Seat.

In the cabin of this medium-sized cloud ship, seven sacrificials sat quietly on the ground, draped in magic robes infused with the power of the Light Blessing. They had quietly boarded the ship from the moment of departure. Whether the Cloud Ship Fleet could enter the [Old World] immediately was not so important. As long as they could be sent out of the fortress, it would be enough.

No one knew why the Lord of Light Divine wanted to descend into the [Old World].

But...

This was the command of Lord Divine.

Knowing this was enough.

This cloud ship, as small as a grain of rice, slowly traversed across the void of the [Old World], with Meng Xizhou and Batu steering the direction. They didn’t immediately chase after Gu Nanfeng’s location but chose a route at a significant distance away.

The summoning of light will cause a huge commotion.

Even though this is already the [Old World], they still had to be careful and cautious.

Finally, the cloud ship stopped over a pitch-black fractured land. Here, it was far from the light-reflecting snowy mountain, so far that no beam of light could illuminate this place. Once the cloud ship extinguished its lights, it was completely engulfed in darkness.
