Chapter 801: Chapter 405 Humanity Never Fails, The Mythical Quest of Damn Text and Ice Cream (4.8k)

At the heart of overlapping seas, among five cities arranged in a pentagram, lies the great city to the east.

Wu Xia City.

At the top of the branches of the Divine Tree at the center of the city, a beautiful woman with jet-black, gorgeous hair and tender, fair skin leaned lazily against a branch.

Donghuang Luoshuang, the City Owner of Wu Xia, also served as the Primary Cardinal of the Da Yan Empire.

Players born in the Da Yan Empire all knew that the system of the Da Yan Empire was very similar to the ancient dynasties of Xia country. In Da Yan City, the emperor’s power was supreme; below him were the chancellors overseeing various departments, and then came those who managed the Divine Trees in the Guard Cities as Cardinals.

Of course, the chancellors and department heads only had enough authority within the city of Da Yan Empire. Outside, they were insignificant; without the direct decree of the Emperor, no Guard City Cardinal would pay them any heed.

This was determined by the expansive lands of the Dream World and the characteristic of the Divine Trees forming cities; any controller of a Divine Tree was an Original Emperor, no matter the country.

Unless, like the Emperor of Dawn, a rotational system was adopted to limit the power of the controller’s family.

And Donghuang Luoshuang was indeed the strongest in the Da Yan, second only to the Emperor. Some said she had reached the realm of Sixth-order, but since no one had ever seen her in action, it remained a guess, and no one dared to recklessly probe her.

After all, as a controller of the Divine Tree, her strength within the city reached that of Sixth-order; unless lured out of the city for an ambush, probing her was pointless.

"When can I finally go back?"

Donghuang Luoshuang murmured to herself.

Since arriving in this Otherworld, Donghuang Luoshuang had maintained a principle of not caring, not asking, and not bothering, fearing that she might incur something she couldn’t handle.

The divination told her that as long as she persevered for a few more days, she would be able to return, safe and sound.

The condition was that she must open the grand gates of Wu Xia City, allowing the wandering people from the Otherworld to come in and receive protection, and she must also cooperate with someone on a certain matter.

However, who the person was and what the matter was, Donghuang Luoshuang didn’t know, and the divination might not be accurate, after all, it was conducted with a damaged Lost Yuan Qi.

Though previous divinations had proven the tortoise shell in her possession did indeed possess the power to foresee the future, this was the Otherworld, and who knew whether their world’s items would work here.

Donghuang Luoshuang slightly furrowed her brows and looked towards the bustling city below.

"Why are there more and more guests from the Otherworld?"

In just one morning, many people seemed to have come over from the sea.

Over the past couple of days, Donghuang Luoshuang counted that at least a thousand people from the Otherworld had entered Wu Xia City, and they came from various races: white, yellow, black.

Among them, Donghuang Luoshuang detested those with darker skin the most, finding their appearance ugly and repellent, emitting a suffocating odor. The Da Yan Empire reportedly had such people thousands of years ago, but they were all driven out of the city by a certain Da Yan Emperor, migrating to the north, to Shining Country. It was said that their status was even lower than most Variants, worse than stray dogs on the streets.

To those with white skin, her favorability was average; the high-ranking people of Shining Country were of the white race, and she had seen many of them.

Lastly, as nearly 90% of the population in the Da Yan Empire was of yellow skin, she felt somewhat close to those Otherworld humans who also had yellow skin and black hair.

Now, many who claimed to be from Xia country in the Otherworld were hospitably treated by her, with delicious food and drink, whereas those with white skin were camping on city lands.

Those with black skin... she had sent them all to pick cotton in the cotton garden. It just so happened that the cotton was massively ripe recently, and with this situation, as all the workers had gone home, these black-skinned individuals could be used as tools.

After all, the divination only mentioned providing them with protection.

So, as long as she didn’t work them to death, that should suffice, shouldn’t it?

And Transcendents weren’t so easily exhausted; they could boldly be tasked with picking cotton from dawn till dusk. She wasn’t one of those exploitative devils; she even specifically prepared a fried chicken feast to replenish their physical strength.

"In this world, there probably aren’t many city owners as conscientious as me," Donghuang Luoshuang thought.

Buzz!—

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from a nearby large city.

"Again? That city belongs to Shining Country, doesn’t it? Do they have such audacity?"

Last night, it seemed that city was attacked, but Donghuang Luoshuang didn’t make much of it. She didn’t think any humans from the Otherworld could breach a city of 800 meters; their strength didn’t even reach Fifth-order; they were simply too weak.

Only the appearance of that giant dragon surprised her.

That Red Dragon came from their world, right?

How could it be attacking a city together with humans?

Not long after, a mist enveloped the city in front of Donghuang Luoshuang’s eyes; it must be the controller unfolding their domain.

"Truly seeking death."

She lay down again and closed her eyes.

However, a few minutes later, a chilling sensation came from outside the city. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"What is that?"

Donghuang Luoshuang abruptly opened her eyes.

The Divine Tree that originally stood in the center of Nolan City was now snapped in half.

In place of the upper half was a figure shining with a blue light, resembling a goddess statue from some myth, with six pairs of wings growing from her back, her demeanor so beautiful it seemed capable of awakening the deepest and most beautiful affections in the human heart.
