Tatsumi City.
In World of Noah, there stands the only city that has been preserved intact until today.
Because this is the birthplace of Babel Tower, the people of Noah refer to it as the "Sacred City of Babel". Over the course of several decades, hundreds of thousands of survivors from the Air Alliance braved great dangers to migrate, all with the purpose of reaching Tatsumi City.
The current guardian of the city is known as the "Legendary Night Watcher".
His name was Alan, one of the many saints of Babel Tower, and people placed great trust in him.
In the center of Tatsumi City, there stood a tall black tower, and atop the tower, in a room, Alan stood by the window. He wore the black uniform of the Night Watcher, gazing solemnly at the city of Tatsumi outside.
Millions of people live peacefully in this city, even at this moment when Noah’s world is on the verge of collapse. The city maintains its normal order, ensuring that its inhabitants have no worries about food, clothing, and safety concerns.
It was almost like a utopia under the cover of night.
Alan turned and approached the desk, furrowing his brow as he looked at the stack of documents. He let out a sigh.
Feeling a little overwhelmed.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling upset again?"
Alan’s wife, Amy, stood nearby. She appeared more mature than before, with a heavy heart and dressed as a married woman.
Amy’s face had long lost its proud and cold demeanor, instead, it had become extremely gentle.
She came to Alan’s side and gently kneaded his shoulders, saying, "Over the years, Tatsumi City has relied entirely on you and Amy to function properly. Thankfully, most of the complex tasks can be handled by artificial intelligence, so you just need to make decisions."
"Making decisions is really difficult."
Alan murmured to himself, saying, "Because many decisions are not simply a matter of right or wrong… Most of the time, they have both flaws and benefits."
Amy nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
She was well aware of her husband’s distress, but that was not the topic she wanted to discuss today.
Amy asked tentatively, "Regarding Amy’s suggestion, Alan, what do you think?"
Just two years ago, Amy and the millions of omnics she created had successfully invented a large-scale time-space teleportation device. Every time it was used, it could transport one million people to other worlds.
During this time, the time-space teleportation device had undergone various tests and adjustments, and now, at this very moment, it was fully ready for practical use.
And then, Amy promptly carried out the well-thought-out plan she had in mind. As she began to send away the ordinary people within the Night Union, she simultaneously expressed her true thoughts to Alan.
The Great Migration!
Yes, Amy believed that staying with Noah was completely meaningless. The people of Noah were not originally from this world, so it would be better to move to another world.
In fact, she had already observed a world where humanoid beings had migrated, and in that new world, there was also a vast continent that was uninhabited by any intelligent race.
It was very suitable for Noah’s people to migrate.
Alan remained silent for a long time, shaking his head. "Leading all the people of Noah to leave this world and go to other worlds… I have to refuse Amy’s proposal."
"Why? Don’t you wish for more innocent lives to be saved? I don’t understand."
Amy furrowed her brow, her face showing a puzzled expression.
She certainly knew her husband’s character and understood how important saving World was to him.
So, why did he refuse this option?
Alan pondered for a while, he had his own thoughts, shaking his head again, "Of course, I have my own considerations. In fact, the Noah’s world is very important to the Savior of the Babel Tower… Although I don’t know where the importance lies, the Outer Gods also want to obtain it."
"Since that’s the case, no matter what, we mustn’t abandon this place."
"So, what if we only move the Noah people away and let some of the Babel Tower’s associates stay?" In a compromise, Alan had to adjust his proposal.
"I need to think… Actually, I am not sure. Staying here, is it right or wrong? I’m sorry, maybe my persistence has no meaning…"
Alan sighed.
The information left by the Savior was so limited back then, and they started to have different thoughts.
And Mu Ling, who was chosen by the Savior to lead everyone, later, after that event, transformed directly into the eternal night sky.
"Nowadays, the Scarlet Moon Empress has also become…" Alan shook his head.
But no matter what, I still had to continue moving forward.
"I must lead everyone."
Alan took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and his eyes shimmered with determination. "I have made up my mind. I will accept Amy’s proposal and lead the ordinary people like Noah to migrate away from this world."
"But we will, stay and wait for Him… One day, He will come back to life and lead us!"
To this day, Alan still didn’t know about Bai Yan’s relationship with the Savior.
He simply believed in the Savior wholeheartedly!
However, Ai still let out a sigh.
She said, "Actually, I don’t really care about other people. I just want the three of us to leave… I’m sorry, I know you won’t leave Noah."
Ai chuckled bitterly and said, "The reason I was attracted to you in the first place was actually because of your sense of responsibility, but now…"
Alan remained silent, then turned around and hugged his wife, his tone filled with apologies.
"Take our daughter away, you must leave this world first… I will visit you every month, but the Babel Tower warriors cannot abandon the Noah world, and we cannot forsake the Savior…"
"No, it’s not okay to come and see us every week, it’s not okay every month!"
Eve tightly held her beloved husband, tears streaming down her face.

Tatsumi City, the graveyard.
In Tatsumi City, the land of green, the tombstones were densely packed, forming towering mountains. In the early years of the apocalypse, even in Tatsumi City, a large number of people perished.
But in the past decade, the people of Tatsumi City have finally experienced days of true peace.
"The Holy City of Babel Tower," "A Utopia Under the Night Sky"… That’s how people nowadays refer to this quite legendary city.
However, the holy beings of Babel Tower never felt proud; they only felt that the situation was becoming increasingly urgent.
Alan stood calmly in front of three tombstones, lost in thought.
On the three tombstones, the names of three individuals were written, each representing a different person.
Bai Yan, Red Moon, Mike Williams.
They were members of the Babel Tower who started to perish ever since the disappearance of the Savior, for without the great power of the Savior, they could not be revived.
In fact, according to Bai Yan’s legacy plan, Mu Ling could have actually revived others using the Babel Tower after he left.
But because she also had a major accident a year later, it ultimately led to the current situation.
Red Moon was killed by a powerful Spawn who suddenly attacked the city, sacrificing himself in the act and saving tens of thousands of ordinary people who were hiding.
Old Mike, after leaving Noah and investigating the situation of the Doomsday Race, never returned.
"Ah."
Alan’s gaze lingered on Bai Yan’s tombstone, filled with unwillingness, sadness, helplessness, and emotions that were hard to hide.
"I never expected that I had just found you, and then you disappeared again."
"世事无常" translates to "Worldly affairs are unpredictable" in English.
Don’t worry, though.
I will inherit your path and, until the return of the Savior, I will definitely protect this world.
"You came, huh?"
The familiar voice of a woman silenced Alan.
In reality, Alan had known the half-elf was approaching. He turned around and nodded gently.
"Maryse, long time no see."
Maryse remained as beautiful as she had been ten years ago, like an angelic young girl, at least in appearance.
However, on her face, there lingered an indescribable heaviness and gloom that couldn’t be erased.
Anyone who saw it would feel a pang of sadness.
As if she had lost her spirit, the half-elf girl stood there in white clothing, looking forlorn. She seemed thin, weak, and helpless.
Every time Aaron saw Maryse, he felt incredibly uneasy.
Ever since Bai Yan had an accident, she became very emotional, sometimes crying, sometimes angry, causing pain to others.
When Mu Ling also had an accident, Maryse stopped being emotional and became a fragile shell. Only her loyal maid could bring a smile to her face.
If one day, the maid who cares for Maryse also left, Alan couldn’t imagine what Maryse would do. She might make the most self-destructive choice.
"You say, will they come back?" Maryse asked calmly.
Alan took a deep breath and answered very seriously, "Yes, of course they will, Maryse. Don’t forget to have hope."
Alan wasn’t just casually comforting the other person, he truly believed it. For over a decade, Alan had been striving for this belief.
"Um…"
However, Maryse didn’t receive any encouragement. She simply nodded, feeling numb.
Up until now, many people should have learned to accept reality.
Maybe…
"I gathered everyone from around World in my own name."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "If anyone has more information about the Savior, we must find a way to resurrect the Savior or free Mu Ling… In truth, I am almost at my breaking point. Even a glimmer of hope… I am…"
Maryse took a deep breath, shook her head, and let out a bitter smile.
"I can’t hold on any longer," he exclaimed.
Alan fell silent as well, no longer offering comfort to Maryse. He knew that Maryse’s thoughts were unshakable by others.
"The Babel Tower meeting?" she wondered aloud.
They had gone for over a decade without convening another Babel Tower meeting.
The previous Babel Tower meeting was actually convened by Mu Ling, but she only substituted for the Savior once before a big accident occurred. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
And, during that Babel Tower meeting, everyone’s emotions were also quite unsettled. Alan sighed, knowing the reason behind it.
After all, the people at the Babel Tower had diverse thoughts and unique personalities. Only the Savior was the great presence that everyone truly believed in!
Alan suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, even the witch said she would participate. It’s quite unexpected, really. She didn’t even attend the Babel Tower meeting organized by Mu Ling… I thought she had made up her mind to leave the Babel Tower."
"Maybe she can bring us some good news."
