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

Wu Zhan became more and more excited as he thought about it, and when he mentioned his idea, everyone else got excited too.

But soon, Hector poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

Because Hector said that every eternal energy source has different properties, and the Heart of Terra's properties are biased towards "creation" and "protection," so it is perfectly fine as an energy supply, stable, durable, and inexhaustible.

However, it does not possess the ability to tear space itself.

To put it simply, it can make you float, but you can't make it have the same jump ability as Anaxim!

Furthermore, due to the presence of the anti-magic rock, it will greatly interfere with the energy output of the Heart of Terra.

The magic-suppressing rock is designed to counter magic. Using it to build a flying city is like stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time.

Moreover, if the entire anti-magic rock vein were used to build a floating city, its size would be far too enormous. The Heart of Terra might be able to make the city barely float, but it would definitely not be able to fly!

In other words, if Ascalon, along with its mineral veins, is to be transferred to the Abyss, then a perpetual energy source must be pre-deployed in the Abyss. This perpetual energy source must be capable of tearing space to assist the Heart of Terra in completing the spatial tear and performing a synchronous transfer.

If it's just a floating, immobile Ascalon flying city... frankly, its value is greatly reduced.

Because it's essentially still floating in its original position, if the demon attacks, it will still get beaten up. In the end, it might very well benefit the demon—the demon can simply pick up the pieces.

So the question is, where can we find this second permanent energy source?

The atmosphere in the council chamber became heavy again, as if weighed down by a huge stone.

The psionic core of the floating city Anaxim does indeed possess the ability to tear through the void, but it's already the city's primary energy source and can't be dismantled. You can't exactly demolish a level-two city for a level-one one, can you? That would be a classic losing proposition.

Many people sighed inwardly.

There was originally an opportunity to obtain the technology to create artificial perpetual energy by rescuing the engineering dwarf Morse from the Starry Sky Battlefield relic intelligent war chariot.

Unfortunately, he was thwarted by the legendary player Saint Gamir, who had killed the world boss and wanted to keep Liu Nian as a pet. He suddenly appeared and ruined everything. To this day, Morse is still locked up in some unknown corner.

This road is temporarily closed.

The council chamber fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, unable to figure out where another Everlasting Energy would come from.

At this moment, Liu Nian spoke up.

His voice wasn't loud, but every word clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Actually... there is another perpetual energy source."

All eyes turned to him.

Nani?

Seeing everyone looking at him again, he didn't keep them in suspense and said, "The Rusty Dynasty, the Tidal Core of the Silverscale Naga!"

The Tidal Core is also a perpetual energy source and possesses the ability to tear through space! This is because when the Psionic Core was repaired, it was the Tidal Core that tore open a spatial rift, allowing the water of the Eternal Dark Lake to be drained away!

Currently, the Silverscale Naga are also under attack from fire elements and can only hide underwater for the time being, unable to retaliate.

With the full-scale invasion of the Abyss Demons, the ultimate fate of the Silverscale Naga is sealed!

So instead of staying there and waiting to die, why not take this opportunity to move out!

Moving them, along with the Tidal Core, to the Abyss would solve two problems simultaneously—providing a constant-level energy source at the same frequency would give the Silverscale Naga a safe place to live.

"But the underwater area of ​​the Rust Dynasty is not small either!" Devourer of the Sun knew a lot about the Rust Dynasty.

"We don't need to move everything," Liu Nian said. "Just move the core area—the temple where the Tidal Core is located, and the important buildings around it. Unlike Ascalon, there aren't many resources around there. As for the buildings and facilities, we can just take the technology blueprints; if we have enough resources, we can replicate and rebuild them!"

"The Tidal Core itself possesses the ability to tear through space. As long as we provide the precise coordinates, it can open a passage on its own and teleport itself to the Abyss!"

In the council chamber, the expressions on everyone's faces changed from somber to thoughtful, and then from thoughtful to excited.

This plan, though it sounds like a pipe dream, seems to be actually feasible.

"What about the demons?" Wang Mian asked the final question. "Will the demons give us time and just watch us move Ascalon along with the mine?"

A rare, sinister smile appeared on Liu Nian's face.

That smile sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

"What do you think demons fear most?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Angels," Liu Nian answered the question himself, "Demons fear angels the most!"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is... since we can't cover it up anymore, why not just lift the lid off!"

Liu Nian's eyes gleamed: "Since the demons will eventually take over this place anyway, why not just publish the coordinates and let all races see them, stirring up trouble! We can't deal with the demons, but there are definitely other races we're not afraid of! We'll give them one, or a few, equally matched enemies!"

"Like angels?"

"That's right!"

"But how can you be so sure that the angels will definitely come?"

"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in movies? Whenever a demon invades, an angel has to come out to restrain it," Liu Nian joked.

"You..."

Liu Nian was joking, of course. He couldn't guarantee anything else, but if he got involved, that collector Jamil would definitely take the bait!

He shared his thoughts with everyone, and as Wu Zhan listened, he felt the story was very familiar.

Holy crap! Thinking about it carefully, isn't this just the story of demons invading Sanctuary, the Nephalem rising up in resistance, and the angels getting involved to both stop the demons and destroy the Nephalem?

"Is this like inviting a wolf into the house, only to have it devour the tiger?" Wang Mian pondered.

Don't tell! You really shouldn't tell!

If done properly, it's not impossible!

After the plan was finalized, the people in the council chamber dispersed and went their separate ways.

Miya, along with the engineers of the Abe Bees, began preparations for the transformation of Dragon City into a floating city.

The blueprints were retrieved from the library of the floating city and piled up on an entire table, the dense array of runes dazzling to the eye.

On the Silverscale Naga's side, Sun Eater was originally preparing to go and provide support. This time, he specifically went to talk to Deepwater Mistress Isa for a full two hours.

Isa initially disagreed—the Rusty Dynasty was a legacy they had protected for generations, and she couldn't accept moving it just like that.

But Devourer laid out the situation: surrounded by fire elementals and with abyssal demons pressing in, staying here meant certain death. Moving to the Abyss, though away from their homeland, at least offered a chance to survive.

Isa remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
