For the people of Osta, it was a day they would never forget.

That day, the eternal night covered the entire city, and the sunlight was cut off from them from then on. Their bodies, which had to be carefully preserved, completely left them, leaving only their souls. People walked out of the rooms one after another, looking at each other anxiously, and then they learned about their future from Fang Zheng, who was standing on the top of the tower.

Unable to touch the sunlight, he can only live in eternal night. He lost his body and started a new life in the form of a soul.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was shocked and speechless. However, when they gradually accepted the reality, an unexpected scene occurred...

"I still can't imagine that someone would actually do that..."

Sitting on the Void Glowing Ship (No. 2), Misaka Mikoto recalled the scene she had seen before and felt incredible. After learning that the sun would turn them into ashes, many people in Osta City actually chose to leave the city on their own initiative. They left the city shrouded in eternal night like moths to a flame, rushed into the bright sun, and then raised their hands high, melting in the sun like snowmen.

This made Misaka Mikoto not know what to say. She had always believed that everyone who came here chose death in order to live forever, but...

"Eternity is also poison in some cases. For those people, it's not that they didn't want to die, but they just couldn't."

Facing Misaka Mikoto's sigh, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it too seriously. At the moment, there were only a few of them left in the entire Void Shining Ship. Fili took the other World Seed that Fang Zheng gave her and boarded the second Void Shining Ship to return to Zuellni. She urgently needed to tell her brother the way to save the world.

Arisa followed Fili and left. After all, the situation on Fenrir's side was much worse than Zuellni's. She wanted to see how Zuellni used the Seed of the World. If everything went well, Arisa would also need to report it to Amemiya Ryudou and others in order to save their world.

As for Scarface, he took the baby and followed Fili and the others to Zuellni. After all, the baby's body was very fragile and not suitable for long-distance travel. Moreover, Zuellni had more supplies and was suitable for taking care of the baby.

Since Fang Zheng had already fixed the dead loop overflow error in this area, he could naturally fly the Void Ray in the sky again. Therefore, Fang Zheng took out two more ships, one for himself to continue to the Edilu Courtyard mentioned by Lei, and the other was temporarily lent to Fili and the others, and automatically returned to Zuellni.

For Misaka Mikoto and the others, this trip had a far-reaching impact. They had never thought about problems in this way before, nor had they ever come into close contact with so many collisions of ideas. Because of this, Misaka Mikoto even felt that she seemed to be a little different after the trip. In the past, she just went with the flow and became a Level 5. To be honest, Misaka Mikoto never seemed to have thought about what she would do in the future.

But now, in this world, seeing so many people struggling and giving up everything just to survive, and throwing themselves into the flames of death, Misaka Mikoto suddenly thought - had she been too careless in the past?

If you think about it carefully, as a Lv5, Kaihara Kyono has already begun to tackle the centuries-old problems in string theory. Misaka Mikoto has also chatted with her and knows that if nothing goes wrong, Kaihara Kyono plans to develop in the academic world in the future.

But what about yourself?

Misaka Mikoto seems to have never considered this question...

As for what Shokuhou Misaki was thinking...Misaka Mikoto just didn't want to ask.

Maybe I should think about my future.

Just as Misaka Mikoto began to think about life, Kallian was looking at the emerald green ball in his hand that looked like an apple.

"You mean... just put this into the core reactor and then you can change the whole world?"

"The whole world is impossible."

Fili shook her head.

"But Mr. Fang Zheng said that this can turn the world within a certain range back to its pre-cataclysm state, and the polluted beasts will disappear. Not only that, even polluted beasts from other areas will not be able to enter this area!"

"But according to what you said, this world seed will absorb all the energy in the core reactor."

A hint of uneasiness appeared in Kallian's eyes.

In other words, once this thing is activated, the entire mobile city... will be completely destroyed.

"But my Lord Brother, this is our chance. Don't you want us to get rid of the threat of the polluted beasts and stop wandering around, but live a stable life on a piece of land?"

Fili stared at Kallian and asked in a low voice. Hearing Fili's question, Kallian was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"You've changed, Fili."

"Why?"

"I remember that you didn't like these things at all before. You always wanted to find... um, meaning? You thought you should have another life, and you didn't seem to care about these things at all."

"Because I saw so much on the way out with Mr. Fang Zheng."

Facing Kallian's question, Fili also sighed. Although this trip was not long, the shock it brought to Fili was something she had never imagined.

"Also, Mr. Fang Zheng also said that he would give these world seeds to his... players? In short, even if you don't want to do it, they will go to other mobile cities to carry out the same plan. Not only these mobile cities, but even those abandoned mobile cities will be reactivated."

Fang Zheng plans to give the abandoned cities to players as "rewards". After all, construction projects in online games are also something that many people are quite enthusiastic about. Fang Zheng plans to make use of those abandoned cities and give them to players to run as unions or player cities. At the same time, he plans to give them certain rights to recruit indigenous people - this will definitely be a very good start.

“…”

"Moreover, Mr. Fang Zheng also said that once this is activated, all pollution and minerals will be erased. In other words, by that time, we won't be able to find a mine to replenish energy! Brother, by that time..."

"I see what you mean."

Kallian's eyes changed slightly. He certainly understood what Fang Zheng wanted to tell him through Fili. This world seed needed the energy of the core reactor to activate, and the amount of energy in the core reactor would change the area of ​​land. And the areas that were changed were naturally Zuellni's territory!

After all, this was developed using the energy from Zuellni's core reactor, right?

territory!

Since the Cataclysm, this concept has almost disappeared from people's minds. After all, for most people, the mobile city is the only place they can live. What is the meaning of territory?

But it’s different now!

If it is true as Fili said, that the World Seed can change a large area of ​​land and completely eliminate those polluting beasts and pollution sources, then... territory is necessary!

But Zuellni was only an academy city after all, too weak, and even if she rebuilt a country, it would not last long. After all, Kalian knew very well that compared to the polluted beasts, the ambitions of humans were just as terrifying.

Fortunately, they still have the Academy City Alliance to rely on.

According to Fili, after this, those mysterious... players? Will take the World Seed to other cities, so why not take the initiative? As long as I take the initiative and call on the Academy City Alliance to establish a country at the same time, then wouldn't it be enough?

By that time, relying on his own political skills and ambitions, it would only be a matter of time before he could seize power in this country called the "Academy City Alliance"! After all, many rulers of other cities are just powerful martial artists. If compared with politics and power skills, they are not good enough!

"I understand. I will prepare and then start implementing it immediately."

Kallian was also an ambitious man. He certainly understood that Fang Zheng had obviously noticed his ambitions, and even Kallian had already figured out what to do.

After making the decision, Kallian immediately took action. He did not directly put the World Seed in Fili's hand into the core reactor. Instead, Kallian ordered the mobile city to change its usual route and began to look for a suitable territory center - finally, he found a very good place.

There are plains everywhere here, and there are rivers and lakes not far away. It is a very suitable transportation hub. As long as this area is occupied, the future Zuellni will have a say. The next step is...

"Feili, do you think this thing is really useful?"

"I believe in Mr. Fang Zheng."

Hearing Kallian's question, Fili frowned slightly. To be honest, she could understand Kallian's thoughts. Before entering the area of ​​the Undead City, Fili's imagination of the outside world always stayed on the gray sky, the desertified land and the terrible polluting beasts.

However, on that land, a land that retained its appearance before the catastrophe, Fili saw a beautiful scenery that she had never seen before.

The bright red sunset illuminated the wheat fields swaying in the wind, the endless green grasslands, the forests, the clear streams, and the rippling lakes. When she saw this scene for the first time, Fili almost cried. She didn't even know why she cried, but at that time, she really almost cried.

From that time on, Fili discovered that her world was not just a small piece of moving land.

“So, I hope it works.”

As she spoke, Fili walked forward and stretched out her hand towards the core reactor in front of her. Then the emerald green fruit in her hand began to tremble, and then suddenly turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the core reactor.

“——!”

At this moment, suddenly, the entire reactor made a loud roar, scaring everyone so much that they couldn't help but step back a few steps. Then, the low mechanical roar that had been continuing gradually stopped.

"Academy City has stopped moving!"

“Boom!”

As soon as Alyssa finished her words, she heard a low sound like a heartbeat emerging from the reactor. At the same time, a white halo emerged from it, quickly spread out in all directions, and disappeared behind the steel wall.

Seeing this, Alisa turned around and ran out, while Fili and Kalian also hurriedly left the core reactor and came out. At this moment, the streets and towers were full of people, including Zuellni's students and the players. They all turned their heads and looked at the land outside the barrier.

at the same time……

“Boom!”

The whole city trembled slightly again. At the same time, everyone saw a halo emerging from under the moving city and passing across the earth.

Then, a magical scene appeared.

Clear water gradually emerged from the originally barren and dry riverbed. It gushed out like a gushing spring, flowing along the riverbed and turning into a big river. Then, fresh green grass emerged from the originally cracked ground and quickly covered the entire earth. Not far away, trees emerged from the ground at a rapid speed and turned into forests in the distance.

“Ah…”

Seeing this scene, the residents of Academy City were stunned, and even the players were screaming.

Unlike the students in Academy City, the players do know something. After all, this is also an opportunity to expand the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Palace and the Azure Fleet. Therefore, Xiao Hei and Ilya also issued a public mission to the players, allowing them to witness with their own eyes how the Azure Fleet saved the world, thereby increasing the players' sense of identification with the Azure Fleet.

And now, this move obviously worked.

"The Blue Fleet is truly awesome!"

"The huge forces roaming the universe really have a vision that ordinary people cannot compare to. Wow, look at this land, it can actually be saved!"

"Hey, now we can go explore outside too!"

The players were talking about it, and Alyssa, who was standing on the balcony and watching all this, had tears in her eyes.

She thought of her past and her childhood experiences. Because she could not enter the mobile city, she had to live with her parents in the gathering place, looking for daily necessities in the ruins of the city. She also had to worry about the attacks of the wild gods. Whenever the wind blew and sand filled the sky, they could only hide in the short and messy ruins and shiver.

But now…

Thinking of this, Alyssa clenched her hands.

She has found a way to save the world!
