Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian took a deep breath, and with a thought, the [Anaksim City Lord Control Panel] panel unfolded before his eyes.

A three-dimensional interface emitting a pale blue holographic glow appeared out of thin air. Its structure was extremely complex and precise, with every ray of light and every rune as if it had been measured with a ruler.

At the center of the interface is a slowly rotating holographic miniature model of a floating city—the very shape of that inverted mountain peak, with the mountaintop pointing downwards and the summit platform upwards. Every tower, every section of the city wall, and every street is displayed in exquisite detail. Liu Nian can zoom and rotate the floating city using gestures and his mind to view any level of it, and can even see the internal structure through the outer walls.

Next to the model are densely packed data streams and status bars, constantly refreshing like a waterfall.

Liu Nian held his breath, his gaze sweeping over the data that had once been completely red, but was now mostly restored—

[Overall City Condition: Good]

[Energy Core Status: Psionic Core is now online (Output Power: 65% and continuously increasing)]

Overall structural integrity: 89.3%...89.4% (Under continuous repair...)

Liu Nian remembers that the figure was 11.7% back then. At that time, the floating city was almost a pile of ruins, with collapsed walls, tilted towers, and rubble everywhere. Now, nearly 90% integrity means that the city has stood up again.

Arachne's voice rang out at the opportune moment, carrying a rare hint of relief: "Master, after the psionic core was repaired and installed, the magic servant workshops within the floating city have begun operating under Mia'er's control. Repair magic servants are being produced in large quantities, and they will continuously repair the city according to the predetermined blueprint until the repair work is completely completed, at which point they will be converted into maintenance magic servants."

Liu Nian nodded and continued reading.

[Main Energy Network: Online (87.4% of lines are active, energy transmission is stable)]

Backup power source: None available.

[Flight Array System: Activated (Anti-gravity Generator x12, 10 online; Flight Stability: Good)]

[Jump Array: Under Repair (Space Anchoring Module Restored, Energy Conveyor Repair Progress: 71%)]

[Global Defense Array: Activated (Defense Node Response Rate: 76%, Energy Shield Coverage: 83%)]

[Strategic Weapon Systems:]

[Magical Phase Cannon (x4)]: 2 cannons repaired, 2 cannons under repair (energy connection established, charging progress: 41%)

[Withered Realm Mage Tower (x2)]: 1 tower repaired, 1 tower under repair (requires the following materials: omitted)

[Celestial Controller]: Precision components are being repaired; Dimensional Gem activity restored: 53%

[Abyss Summoning Circle]: Rune substrate awaits repair (requires the following materials: omitted)

Life support system: activated (Air quality: good, gravity stability: normal)

Environmental control system: Activated (temperature, humidity, and light intensity are all controllable)

[Internal Transmission Network: Main network activated (all 17 critical nodes repaired, transmission stable)]

[External Connection (Teleportation Array): Activated (3 teleportation arrays are online; coordinates for the currently accessible competition area and the Abyss Realm have been recorded)]

[Automated Repair Unit: Online (Repair Robots x347, Repair Servants of all levels x251, currently under production, estimated maximum 4000)]

[Resource reserves: depleted]

[Laboratory Area: Laboratories 1 through 7 have been restarted; Laboratories 8 through 12 are under repair]

As Liu Nian looked at the string of data, the corners of his mouth curled up higher and higher.

"So that means..." He took a deep breath, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "the floating city has basically recovered?"

"Yes." Arachne pulled up a flight path map, and a pale blue arc of light unfolded in front of Liu Nian, outlining the complete map of the competition zone and its surrounding area. "With the current energy reserves and engine status, Anaxim can complete daily flights and jump missions. However, without backup energy, it's best to limit jumps to once a week, and not too frequently."

"Can we leap to the Netherworld or the Realm of Sin?" Liu Nian asked.

Arachne paused for a moment, then pulled up a set of comparative data: "The Netherworld is perfectly fine. The spatial barrier between the competition zone and the Netherworld is relatively stable and inherently continuous, making it easily penetrateable with the current warp array. But the Sinful Realm is different—its spatial structure is far more chaotic, requiring the warp array to be fully repaired before safe entry. Currently, the warp array's repair progress is 71%, and it is estimated that it will require further…"

She paused, as if calculating something: "At the current rate of repair, it will take about three to four months."

"So slow?"

Arachne's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "The main problem is that when Master came here to explore last time, he took away all the mineral and energy reserves. No matter how skilled the magic servant is at repairing magic, without raw materials, it's like a skilled cook trying to cook without rice."

She paused, then added, "However, if we can find enough 'Void Crystals' and 'Astral Essence,' the repair speed will increase significantly. These two materials are the core consumables for the warp array; with them, the repair process can be shortened to a few weeks or even days."

Liu Nian nodded upon hearing this.

That's enough for now. A weekly jump frequency seems more than sufficient. As for jumping to the Sinful Realm... he doesn't need to use that function yet.

"Alright!" He let out a long breath, his gaze returning to the slowly rotating floating city model. "With this, we're basically not afraid of those high-level invaders within the competition zone."

He turned to look at Miya's clone.

"Miya, continue the repair work while keeping a close watch on any unusual activity in the competition area," Liu Nian instructed. After a moment's thought, he added, "You can move closer to the fire elemental plane passage. The monsters there are higher level, so you can spot any unusual activity in advance."

Liu Nian was also worried that if this place became unclaimed, the Fire Elemental Plane might send a large army to occupy it.

"Okay, I'll be careful," Miya replied.

-------

Liu Nian stood in a corner of the tower lobby, looking at the bustling, almost chaotic scene before him, and was momentarily dazed.

Dragonborn, humans from Blue Star, demon bears, Abe bee people, trolls... More than two thousand players crowded into various corners of the guild's headquarters. Some were getting to know each other and chatting, some were studying skills, some were studying equipment, and a few silly demon bears were arm wrestling with trolls. A circle of onlookers surrounded them, and shouts rose and fell.

"The president is back!" someone shouted.

The crowd fell silent for a second, then surged forward like a pot boiling over.
