Liu Nianchong nodded.

"Our Divine Dragon Guild also has an ancestral land," he said. "Our first city is located within that ancestral land. It's rich in various resources, the most important of which is the anti-magic rock mine." (The rebuilt Azure Town and the City of Exile are too low-level to be considered more like small towns and settlements.)

Forbidden Magic Rock.

As soon as those three words were uttered, the eyes of several people at the round table lit up simultaneously.

Magic-suppressing rock is an extremely rare mineral that can naturally suppress magical energy. The magic-suppressing alloy extracted from it can be used to make equipment that greatly increases magic resistance, can be used to build structures that create magic-suppressing fields, and can be used to make weapons that can directly penetrate a mage's shield.

This ore is extremely valuable in the Netherworld because its production is very low. There are no more than five known anti-magic rock veins in the entire Netherworld, and they are all controlled by major guilds.

"The city in our ancestral land," Liu Nian continued, his tone still calm, but every word was like a bomb being thrown onto the round table, "is entirely made of anti-magic rock."

"The entire city is made of magic-resistant rock?!"

Werner, the dwarf from the Ironblood Guild, sprang up from his chair, his beard bristling and his eyes wide as bells.

"Do you know how much the Demon-Suppressing Rock costs per kilogram?! Do you know how many tons it takes to build a city?! How the hell would that cost?!"

No one answered his question, because everyone was stunned by the number.

A city, built from anti-magic rock. It wasn't a mine, nor a warehouse; it was a city. Ten-meter-high walls, towers dozens of meters high, stone slabs paving the streets, tiles covering the dome—all made of anti-magic rock?

Are the resources in this region really that incredible? Or did the Divine Dragon Guild find a giant vein of anti-magic rock in the region, with a yield large enough to be used for paving roads?

Liu Nian hadn't yet mentioned that the city was actually an eighth-level main city, with an astonishing scale, and that it was essentially a city built within a magic-suppressing mine.

Dracaya's eyes widened in disbelief. Her dragon ancestral land was considered to have top-tier resources—dragon crystal mines, dragon blood grass, dragon scale fruit—but it wasn't this outrageous! A city of magic-suppressing rocks?

"As for the other city," Liu Nian said, "it is the Floating City."

"It was originally located within the competition zone, but we recently moved it from the zone to the Netherworld, where it is currently above Graystone Castle. Oh, and we can also have it participate in the battle against the Pharaoh."

"A flying fortress?" Skylock finally couldn't help but speak, his six eyes flashing with electricity, his voice carrying a rare tremor.

The others erupted in a huge uproar, as if a pot had exploded.

"What? A leap?"

"Is it a flying city?"

"I thought it was one of those...you know, the kind that floats in the air..."

"A city with the ability to travel between dimensions?"

"There's such a thing?"

"I have seen cities on floating islands—Miserka is built on one, but Miserka doesn't have any teleportation capabilities! It's supported by the energy of elemental rifts, and can't move at all except circle around in place!"

Skylock raised his hand, and the conference room fell silent.

His six eyes were fixed on Liu Nian, and the arcs of electricity in his pupils were jumping several times faster than usual.

He asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Besides flight and warp, does your floating city also possess air strike capabilities?"

"Yes," Liu Nian said. "It can be deployed to any location in the Netherworld at any time. The city has strategic-level magic phase cannons, mage towers, and global defense arrays, and can also serve as an air strike platform, providing transit forces, just like the Dimensional Sand Devourer I just mentioned."

Everyone froze on the spot, a single image flashing through their minds—a floating city made of anti-magic rock descending from the clouds, its engines spewing eerie blue flames, the muzzles of its magic phase cannons glowing blindingly, forbidden spells unleashed by mage towers covering the entire battlefield, and countless players and NPCs falling from the sky…

The scene was so beautiful, it gave me goosebumps.

That scene was terrifying, so terrifying it sent chills down my spine.

They're not fools; they naturally know the advantages of this kind of city—it's uniquely advantageous in every aspect, whether military, economic, or strategic!

The meeting room became noisy for a moment.

Skylock did not interrupt the discussion; who wouldn't be shocked to hear such a thing?

Let alone anyone else, Skylock would be willing to trade five cities for just this one city.

Skylock stared at Liu Nian with his six eyes. Although his face was expressionless, his suspicions were confirmed.

He had previously suspected that Liu Nian was a transcendent being.

Now it seems that this guess has almost been confirmed.

This level of legacy is not something ordinary players can obtain.

But he didn't speak at the meeting, nor did he show any unusual behavior.

Because he himself is also quite extraordinary.

In fact, which of the top-ranked individuals on the combat power rankings of various realms has not been suspected of being a superhuman?

Seeing that the meeting was about to stall, Skylock said simply, "Gentlemen, I suggest we adjourn for now. Let's digest today's information first."

No one objected.

Everyone needs to reassess the strength of the Divine Dragon Guild and readjust their strategies.

"President Liu, please come with me for a moment!" Skylock invited.

Liu Nian didn't know what Skylock was going to do. After a moment's thought, he went with him into a small conference room next door.

After Liu Nian entered, Skylock closed the door and activated the isolation array.

The two did not sit down, but walked to the window and looked at the street scene of Ovitan outside.

After a moment of silence, Skylock suddenly spoke:

Are you going to participate in this year's Void Arena?

He suddenly asked a question that seemed completely unrelated to the current alliance meeting.

Liu Nian was stunned for a moment.

The reason he stayed at level 199 in the Abyss was for the sake of the Abyss's highest-level PVP tournament, held annually with outrageously generous rewards. Legendary equipment, legendary skill stones, eternal random rewards, and that title that drives countless people crazy—Void Overlord.

"Why do you ask that?" Liu Nian did not answer directly.

Skylock turned around, his six dark gold eyes fixed on him, and said seriously, "I don't recommend you participate!"

Liu Nian frowned slightly.

He thought a lot, even wondering if Skylock was afraid he would take away his number one spot on the power rankings...

But upon reflection, it seems that this ranking isn't that important to Skylock.

Why did Gelock say that?

So he asked, "What's the reason?"
