Chapter 9: The Apostles and the Floating City

The Shattered Starry Sky is a wonderful world, with many intelligent races and powerful high-ranking creatures. These indigenous races have formed a variety of distinct civilizations on some giant hanging continents.

According to the Great Goblin Elder's recollection, when he was young, he traveled to many Hanging Continents. During the adventure, I have seen a variety of racial civilizations. Among these civilizations are mechanical life similar to Transformers, there are magical worlds similar to Azeroth, and even the picturesque Oriental Wonderland.

Civilizations of all kinds converge in a shattered starry sky, looking like a testing ground for the Creator. However, in the words of the Great Goblin Elder, this is more like a dumping ground abandoned by the creator god. Because the intelligent races in the shattered starry sky have never felt the favor of the gods, and some are only disputes and turmoil between the major races and civilizations.

The suspended continent in the shattered starry sky is not immutable, and it also has its own life cycle. Suspended continents as small as islands and reefs generally have a lifespan of only 1,000 years, while some suspended continents as large as planets have a decay cycle measured in hundreds of millions of years.

Every once in a while, some suspended continent will fall apart, turn into dust, and disappear into the endless starry sky. And there are some hanging continents that will slowly condense their cores in the starry sky, and grow rapidly, gradually becoming a new suspended continent.

Although the position of the Hanging Continent in the Shattered Starry Sky remains constant and does not collide with other continents, due to the limited resources of various resources, the various Suspended Continents have to trade and war with each other. In fact, this is also the root cause of the vast majority of world-destroying disasters in the shattered starry sky.

When the intelligent races of one of the suspended continents are ready to invade another continent, they will teleport to the continent through the unique starry sky gate in the shattered starry sky. This kind of teleportation is not a space-time teleportation, it is limited to the inner space of the shattered starry sky, regardless of distance and type, and the only limitation is the size of the starry sky gate.

A small Starry Sky Gate can only teleport individual lives, while a large Starry Sky Gate can teleport a city fortress to other suspended continents.

"So, those powerful upper-level races, immortals, demons, gods, Buddhas, angels, and dragons are at the top of the race pyramid in the shattered starry sky?" Lily couldn't help but be curious, and interrupted the Goblin Elder's narration, and when she came back to her senses, her face immediately turned pale.

However, the murderer here obviously wanted to know the answer as well, and no one paid attention to him for a while.

"No, those high-level creatures are basically in a state of seclusion, and they don't show their faces lightly. The dominant races in the Shattered Starry Sky are those intelligent races whose individuals are not strong, but have a large population and great potential. For example: humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, undead, mechanical life, elemental creatures, and more! ”

The Great Elder of the Goblin changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said with a somewhat strange expression, "Actually, this situation has a lot to do with you time-travelers......

Everyone's eyes lit up slightly, and they had a hunch that the next topic of the Great Goblin Elder would probably reveal why the "Lulu Clan" would pay attention to the hidden secrets of the time-travelers.

It turns out that the suspended continent of the shattered starry sky not only contains the starry sky gate inside zĂ i, but also an unpredictable space-time portal. From time to time, there will be some life in different time and space, which is absorbed into the broken starry sky by the space-time portal.

Different from the indigenous creatures of the Shattered Starry Sky, as long as these other-time-space beings successfully pass through the space-time portal, they will combine with the world laws of the Shattered Starry Sky to form a unique law body with the soul as the core.

The law of the traverser's body is no different from a normal person at first, and it will also get sick and bleed, and even be injured and die. However, due to the particularity of the Law Body, the traverser has almost unlimited potential. Some powerful traversers can destroy the world and destroy the world, and their combat power is comparable to that of gods and demons, and even if the brain and heart are severely damaged, they will not die immediately.

However, the Travelers are not the natives of the Shattered Starry Sky after all, and they are ostracized by the Shattered Starry Sky all the time. This repulsion grows stronger over time, and every once in a while, these travelers are teleported to other worlds by the shattered starry sky.

This space-time teleportation is very random, and no one knows where the traveler will be teleported. With every time they teleport, some otherworldly missions appear in the minds of the travelers, and even they themselves do not know the origin and motivation of these missions.

If the mission is not completed, the soul of the traverser will become weaker and weaker, and eventually lead to death. The vast majority of time-travelers will die in these otherworldly missions, but as long as they complete the task in their minds before teleporting back to the shattered starry sky, they will receive great benefits.

It's as if the Shattered Sky has signed a contract of employment with the Traveler, where one side contributes to the mission and the other gives them life and abilities. Therefore, the time-travelers are also known as the contract apostles by the indigenous beings of the shattered starry sky.

The apostles are in danger all year round, and all the mature apostles have extremely strong combat effectiveness. Some gifted apostles will become beings comparable to gods and demons in just a few years. What's more, because they also have all kinds of weapons and equipment obtained from the other world, and the law body has almost no Achilles' heel, even the gods and demons are unwilling to fight against the apostles.

In the ancient period of the shattered starry sky, it was precisely because of the appearance of many apostles that the dominant high-ranking creatures fell one after another, and even some high-ranking races were completely wiped out, so they had to choose to live in seclusion and no longer appear in front of people. In the eyes of the apostles, these high-ranking creatures are equivalent to walking treasures. They are happy to use the inheritance of gods and demons to give themselves an extra layer of insurance when performing otherworldly missions.

That period is also known as the end of the gods and demons. The top of the pyramid of the Shattered Starry Sky was completely cut off by the Apostles, and the Shattered Starry Sky entered a new era of supremacy. Some intelligent races with large populations and slightly weaker individual numbers began to rise and became the new masters of the Shattered Starry Sky.

The Apostles' influence on the Shattered Starry Sky does not stop there, their energy and focus are on the otherworldly adventure mission, and the Shattered Starry Sky is just a transitional place for them to rest and adjust. In addition, due to the relationship between the missions, the relationship between each other is complicated, there are both alliances and hostilities, so it is impossible for them to become the actual rulers of the Shattered Starry Sky.

However, those intelligent races that had dominated could not ignore the power of the apostles. Unlike gods and demons, they do not have the value of hunting, but they can hire apostles to fight enemy races and hostile continents.

In the event of a war between two suspended continents with similar strength and two intelligent races with similar military strength, the apostolic team they have is likely to be the key to victory or defeat in the war. Even, some small races have hired a strong team of apostles to defeat powerful opponents in the war and win a broader living space for themselves.

From the destruction of gods and demons in ancient times to the current continental hegemony war, all intelligent races in the shattered starry sky have begun to follow an iron law. That is, the survival of the race cannot be completely dependent on the apostles, and the help of the apostles cannot be lost.

The reason is simple, due to the existence of the space-time portal, the apostles could not be exterminated at the root. However, once they rely on certain teams of apostles, when these apostles suffer heavy losses in the Atlas mission, they will also lose the initiative in the war.

This strange and nonsensical phenomenon prompted the birth of a special thing in the shattered starry sky. That is the floating city built by some intelligent races by pooling all their resources.

These huge cities have different power sources due to different civilizations, but they can all move around the suspended continent at will. At the same time, it can also use the Starry Sky Gate to teleport between the various suspended continents. It is not only the survival foundation of the intelligent race, but also a special place to serve the apostles.

The intelligent race with this floating city can not only rely on the city to greatly enhance its survivability, but also attract a steady stream of apostles to settle in. There is no need to worry about suddenly losing the combat power of the apostle team in times of war.

There are large and small floating cities, and there are all kinds of types. Divided by different civilizations, there are technology cities, magic cities, biochemical cities, ability cities, and so on. According to the type of services provided by the city to the apostles, there are academy cities, entertainment cities, trade cities, war fortresses, and so on.

No matter what kind of city it is, it is very polite to the apostles who settle in, and in addition to some basic benefits, a set of service regulations will be specially formulated for the apostles. These service regulations basically follow the principle of equivalent exchange, after all, not every apostle will become a being comparable to gods and demons, and most of the apostles will fall in the otherworldly mission.

In order to snatch the apostles' resources, the Floating City will regularly travel to and from various suspended continents. To this day, there are no intelligent races in the floating city, either slowly going to extinction, or becoming subordinate to other races. The number and size of the floating cities have become the only criterion for distinguishing whether the intelligent race and the hanging continent are strong or not.

What is strange is that large hanging continents with large populations and races often rarely appear space-time portals. On the contrary, small and medium-sized suspended continents like the Red Gobi, which are sparsely populated and have a barren environment, will often have space-time portals and time-traveling people, that is, preparatory apostles.

The apostles were not strong in force, but the icing on the cake was not as good as charcoal in the snow. Floating Cities provided some help when they were at their weakest. Then these apostles will naturally return the favor after they become strong, and repay the floating city that helped them.

It can be said that the more preparatory apostles are recruited, the greater the potential of the floating city. Of course, floating cities are behemoths, although they can float and move from various suspended continents. But it is impossible to be like an ant and go around looking for a pre-apostle who will appear at some point.

Therefore, some small and medium-sized suspended continents that are geographically remote, similar to the Red Gobi, have given birth to some "scavenger" tribes that specialize in searching for space-time teleportation relics.

For example: the Lulu in front of the human prisoners!
