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

Compared to land, the ocean is vast and no one can control it. It also saves a lot of money on land occupation fees to the system, and at the same time, it will not attract the attention of other NPC forces or player forces.

After receiving confirmation that all of Mia'er's crew had evacuated, Liu Nian walked to the control console and placed his palm on the main control panel. A faint blue light emanated from his palm, establishing a connection with the floating city's control system.

Arachne.

"exist."

"Work with Mia, and initiate the warp drive program according to the coordinates I gave you!"

"Yes, Master."

Arachne's fingers plunged into the rune array on the control panel, silver threads flowing from her fingertips and intertwining with the floating city's energy network. Mia closed her eyes, connected her consciousness to the psionic core, and began guiding the energy flow.

Liu Nian took a deep breath and pressed a red button on the main control panel.

[WARNING: Residents of Anaxim, please note that the city core is overloaded and a jump protocol is being initiated. Please remain calm and do not panic excessively...]

Buzz~~~~~！！

The entire floating city began to tremble violently.

Almost simultaneously, runes in every corner of the city lit up, a ghostly blue light seeping from the cracks in every brick and stone, like veins awakening. Crystals began to spin wildly, emitting an increasingly loud buzzing sound. Streetlights along both sides of the street illuminated the entire city one after another.

Beneath the floating city, the main engine emitted a deep roar, shaking the surrounding space. Then the secondary engines ignited one after another, eerie blue flames shooting from their nozzles.

"The jump path has been calibrated." Arachne's voice echoed in the cabin. "Destination: The Realm of Abyss - The Endless Sea. Please issue your orders, Lord."

"Start!" Liu Nian said.

The floating city's engines instantly reached full power, and eerie blue flames erupted from the nozzles, enveloping the entire city in a blue halo. Space began to distort, the surrounding clouds were torn apart, and fine cracks appeared in the sky, like a shattered mirror.

Then, the floating city transformed into a blue streak of light and disappeared into the cracks.

The jump was not a long process. Liu Nian stood in front of the observation window, wanting to see the scene outside during the jump, but unfortunately there was nothing of value except a dazzling chaos.

Soon the floating city burst out of the void, smashed through an invisible barrier, and reappeared in the real world.

Below, the ocean stretched out endlessly. The deep blue water shimmered, and in the distance, several inconspicuous islands covered with lush vegetation could be seen, with seabirds occasionally circling overhead.

There are no cities, no ports, and no trace of human activity here—this is a sea area that has never been developed by any NPC faction or player.

"Destination reached," Arachne's voice rang out. "Jump complete, engine in good condition, energy consumption within expected range."

Liu Nian stood in front of the viewing window, looking at the vast sea, and nodded in satisfaction.

He then opened the system interface, found the "Establish Main City" option, and submitted the floating city as the main city.

[Dragonborn Channel System Announcement: The Dragonborn faction has established its capital city, "Anaxiasim," located in the Endless Sea. Capital city level: 2. Related functions have been unlocked; please check them yourself.]

Since the Dragonborn has already successfully upgraded, the main city starts at level two.

In the Shenlong Guild's channel.

"Holy crap! A main city! We have a main city now!"

"The Endless Sea? Where is that? It's not on the map."

"The president is awesome!!"

"Let's go check it out! Anyone want to team up?"

"Where's the teleportation array? I can't find it."

"The main city teleportation option in the guild interface! It was just unlocked!"

The channel erupted in cheers, but Liu Nian didn't join in the fun. Instead, he delegated the management authority of the main city to Mia'er—entrusting her with everything from the city's daily operations and NPC management to resource allocation and the operation of various workshops. The Abebe people's talent for management far surpassed that of other races, especially Mia'er, who was integrated into the main city; she was worth several hundred players by herself.

As for city defense and NPC guards, Liu Nian didn't want to worry about them for the time being. Although the NPCs in the floating city weren't high-level, the city itself was flying in the sky, and its defensive array was already strong enough. He could deal with ground troops later when needed, or just buy troops from the system's main city if necessary.

Liu Nian stepped into the teleportation array. A flash of light, and he appeared in Dragon City. Several Dragonborn players on duty immediately recognized him.

"The president is here!"

"Hello, President!"

Liu Nian nodded to them, and without lingering, walked straight to the east.

There is a relatively complete complex of buildings there, which is the area of ​​Dragon City where the Engineering Gnomes worked together. It was agreed that the two sides would cooperate in its development. In addition to the Engineering Gnomes, there are also some Frost Giants and Spider Elves here, serving as city guards or technical workers. There are also a large number of Abyssal Dwarf slaves working there.

Due to the enormous development potential of Dragon City, Prince Gerbin had already personally moved from the Heart of the Gear to Dragon City to personally guide and design the first phase of the construction plan.

Born in Gnomeregan and leading a tribe to establish power in distant lands, no one in the entire tribe is more professional than him.

At that moment, Gerbin was on the ground floor of a half-collapsed tower. When Liu Nian pushed open the door, he was squatting in front of a huge mechanical device, disregarding his appearance, holding a wrench and muttering to himself. He had already changed out of his luxurious clothes and was wearing work clothes, which were covered with machine oil and rust, and his white beard had been stained gray.

"Your Highness!" Liu Nian called out.

Gerbin turned around, his eyes lighting up: "It's Liu Nian! What brings you here?"

"I just returned from the battlefield of the heavens," Liu Nian said, taking a thick metal booklet from his backpack and handing it to him. "I brought you something!"

Gerbin took the booklet and opened the cover with a puzzled look.

When he saw the words on the title page, his hands trembled violently, and the wrench fell to the ground with a crisp clang.

"This is..." His voice trembled slightly, "This is Morse's diary!"

"So you do know him after all," Liu Nian asked.

"Know him? Of course I know him!" Gelbin gently stroked the cover of the diary, as if caressing a precious treasure. "Morse Nomo, Vice President of the Royal Engineering Society of Gnomeregan... He loved adventure. I met him a few times when I was a child, and he always brought me some strange little gadgets."

He opened the diary and read it page by page, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, but his brows furrowing more and more tightly.
