Chapter 2818 Combat Sequence and Reserve Sequence!
This sudden change caused the aura of the four seasons to begin circulating.
The mountain, thousands of meters tall, began undergoing astonishing changes that stunned all those who were watching.
While watching the Four Seasons Mountain, Blood Love and the others all hoped that it would not change much.
This especially applied to Begin Lady and Celestial Sight.
Lower-level faeries naturally looked up to and respected higher-level faeries.
The first time that Celestial Sight laid eyes on Begin Lady, such emotions were naturally invoked within him because Begin Lady was an intermediate faerie.
This was why faeries that did not have any links to each other were able to assimilate and get along well with the other faeries after the establishment of the Faerie Institution.
Based on its roots, Four Seasons Mountain would definitely be a higher faerie once it transformed.
Only the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was aware that Lin Yuan was in possession of such a large amount of spirit qi crystals.
Due to Morbius’ evolution, the Spirit Lock spatial zone had continuously expanded.
Lin Yuan had asked Hu Quan to set aside the space meant for the Pure Land of Bliss and its extensions. This included the spirit pool, which was the second core of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope could control wind elements to organize the sea of spirit qi crystals. It did not need the help of anyone else.
Although Hu Quan and the other Spirit Craftsmen were secluding themselves from the real world, and Begin Lady and Celestial Sight spent most of their time in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, secrets that needed to be kept hidden should stay that way.
Hence, Begin Lady and Celestial Sight felt that the spirit qi crystals were extremely precious.
Begin Lady and Celestial Sight were also touched that Lin Yuan was willing to use spirit qi crystals to prevent the Four Seasons Mountain’s roots from becoming injured. It led them to think back to all that Lin Yuan had done for them.
As opposed to regular feys, Celestial Sight and Begin Lady were more willing to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Celestial Sight and Begin Lady had sensed the restraints from the world wills long ago. These restraints made it very difficult for them to continue increasing their strength.
Given the circumstances, they felt that going to the Sky Beyond the Clouds would be the best choice.
…
When Winter received Lin Yuan’s instruction, he hurriedly said, “Young Master, just give me four hours to prepare. I have gathered all your white-clothed followers. I’ll call them over now!”
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter all had high aptitudes for butlering or stewardship.
However, Spring was the weakest of the four and could only manage a few of Lin Yuan’s personal matters.
Summer and Autumn did not have a strong talent for managing the lifestyle of factions. Meanwhile, Winter had the strongest talent for internal governance.
In numerous tasks that Winter had been involved in, Lin Yuan could tell how thoughtful and detail-oriented he was.
It did not take long for the white-clothed followers to appear in front of Lin Yuan.
There were now a total of 500 white-clothed followers.
After several rounds of selection over the years, many white-clothed followers had been eliminated.
The eliminated white-clothed followers were still members of Sky City, but they were no longer part of Sky City’s combat sequence. Rather, they were relegated to Sky City’s reserve sequence.
The members of the reserve sequence would be assigned to numerous roles in Sky City. They would fill gaps wherever they appeared.
Members of Sky City’s combat sequence and reserve sequence received different treatments.
Although the quota of white-clothed followers remained the same at 500 so that there would be 50 teams of 10, the members were evaluated every three years.
Those who were eliminated would be replaced by members of the reserve sequence.
This structure was very similar to the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. It was meant to spur positive competition within Sky City and prevent the combat sequence of the white-clothed followers from becoming complacent.
This system had been designed by Liu Jie, the manager of the white-clothed followers.
When Liu Jie designed this system, his main consideration had not been the complacency of the white-clothed followers’ combat sequence.
Sky City was in a constant state of rapid development, and every person did their best to increase their power and prove their worth.
In such an environment, complacency would lead to elimination.
Liu Jie’s main consideration for designing this system was the convenience of switching out the members of the 50 teams.
Every person had different temperaments. Hence, some people got along better, while others would come to dislike each other. Despite the other party not having done anything, they could not help but feel an increasing loathing for them.
This was a common occurrence among the Radiance Federation’s large guild clubs.
Liu Jie had been part of guild clubs in the past, and this was the reason that eventually caused him to withdraw from them.
By giving the members of the 50 teams the opportunity to change their members every three years, the white-clothed followers would form stronger bonds with each other.
Lin Yuan and Wen Yu approved of Liu Jie’s design.
In the past, Liu Jie was brave and had some strategic intelligence, but most of his strategy revolved around the design of insect army battles.
Now, most of his focus was on managing factions. This allowed Lin Yuan and Liu Jie to see his talent in managing factions.
The 500 combat sequence white-clothed followers stood in an orderly formation and looked at Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu with bright eyes.
1,500 reserve sequence members stood behind the combat sequence, their fighting spirits just as high. They were all determined to take the place of the combat sequence members three years later.
Aside from Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, Liu Jie, Listen, Duan He, Zhou Luo, and the other members of management, there were 2,000 regular members of Sky City.
It was impossible for Lin Yuan to have increased the strength of every member in the past ten years or so.
There were two captains of every white-clothed follower team. Lin Yuan had evolved the captains’ feys to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. The captains themselves also possessed Divine Kingdom power.
Lin Yuan had evolved the remainder of the white-clothed followers to the spirit fire level. He could continue to slowly evolve them once they arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The reserve sequence was going to be assigned to various positions. Hence, they did not have a manager.
The members of the reserve sequence had only just reached the birth horoscope level. However, this was sufficiently powerful for the main world.
The white-clothed followers did not have a clear understanding of the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan had also not shared information about it. This was because Lin Yuan had never personally been there. Fan Lou and Kong Huan’s knowledge of the Sky Beyond the Clouds was limited.
Moreover, Lin Yuan knew that as the white-clothed followers continued to increase their power and reached the peak of the main world, it was inevitable for them to become arrogant.
Hence, he needed to wait until they had been knocked down a peg by the Sky Beyond the Clouds in order to realize just how dangerous it was and how lacking their strength was.
Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said loudly, “Later, all the members of Sky City will head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and begin the conquest there. I believe that everyone has been looking forward to this day!
“In the past, someone asked me where Sky City’s headquarters are and whether it is Thick Soil City. I want to let everyone know that Sky City’s headquarters is not in Thick Soil City but here!”
Lin Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
Everyone looked up, only to see the thick clouds floating across the sky.
The clouds were clustered together like cotton balls.
If those who paid attention to meteorological processes saw such clouds, they would think that rain was about to fall.
The white-clothed followers all looked up at the sky. For a moment, they did not understand what Lin Yuan meant.
However, Liu Jie, Wen Yu, and the rest knew that Lin Yuan was referring to Sky Sea.
Hu Quan had not shown his face ever since Lin Yuan had taken him away.
It was likely that Hu Quan was done building Sky City atop Sky Sea.
Now that Lin Yuan was about to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it seemed that he was going to inform his faction of Sky Sea’s existence!
After looking up, the Moon Empress frowned for a few seconds while scanning the sky.
She had noticed that something was off about the sky.
The Moon Empress had returned the moon to the main world through Forage Moon. She had also left a part of her roots on the moon.
Her roots would take control of the energy in the moon and prevent the moon’s energy from causing future disasters in the main world, such as tsunamis and the like.
The Moon Empress noticed that the moonlight was not piercing through the clouds directly above Lin Yuan.
This meant there was definitely something strange about those clouds!
If Lin Yuan had not specified the position, the Moon Empress would not have picked up on anything.
While everyone was looking at the clouds, the plume of clouds suddenly dissipated, and a giant figure appeared in the sky.
It was the figure of an enormous whale that was difficult to describe.
The enormous whale slowly moved its wings and was carrying a majestic city on its back.
The city was shrouded in various weather phenomena.
There was a rainbow across the center of the city, enhancing the city’s beauty.
Even Wen Yu and Liu Jie could not stop their jaws from dropping. They had not expected Lin Yuan to evolve Sky Sea to such a degree!
Given Wen Yu and Liu Jie’s reactions, the reactions of the white-clothed followers who were seeing Sky Sea for the first time did not have to be described.
The city atop Sky Sea was full of Hu Quan’s architectural style. Anyone who was acquainted with Hu Quan could recognize this with a single glance.
Lin Yuan had already used the Ethereal Jellyfish’s exclusive skill to set up teleportation nodes on Sky Sea’s back.
When everyone looked away from Sky Sea’s back, Lin Yuan said, “Each of you has the tentacle node that I previously distributed. Later, you can use the tentacle node to directly transport yourself to the city in the sky. The city being carried by Sky Sea is Sky City’s headquarters!”
Once Lin Yuan was done speaking, the dissipated clouds gathered together again, hiding Sky Sea’s figure.
From this, the white-clothed followers knew the clouds hiding Sky Sea’s body were also summoned by one of the feys under Lin Yuan’s control.
In the time that the Moon Empress spent by Lin Yuan’s side, she had also changed her mindset as an expert.
She still had the heart of an expert now, but she also understood just how much room for growth there was when one looked beyond the main world!
The journey of an expert was endless. This delighted someone like her, who had an endless lifespan. This was because she could use her long lifespan to slowly and continuously break through and reach new heights.
The Moon Empress did not understand the circumstances in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. She also did not know how abundant the resource availability in the Sky Beyond the Clouds was.
However, something like the Lifespan Mouse was also considered a treasure of the highest level there!
Even the most powerful lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds would eventually reach the end of their lifespans.
…
It was likely that the only one in the group who did not want to go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds was Keira.
When Lin Yuan and Keira first made their deal, he had agreed to allow Keira to remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone while they were in the main world. But once they got to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Keira would have to lead the demon insects in scouting and clearing the surrounding environment. She would no longer be able to remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
It was said that it was easy to transition from frugality to extravagance but not vice versa.
Keira was extremely disappointed.
However, she knew that Lin Yuan had only allowed her to remain in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to compensate her for her contribution during the dead spirits crisis.
In the past ten-odd years, she had produced almost ten fetuses that could produce hundreds of demon insects with Class 1 Genetic Locks.
This was sufficient to enable Sky City to develop independently in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Her nest took up a very large space in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and got in the way of Hu Quan’s constructions.
In spite of Keira’s disappointment, she had no lack of fighting spirit.
Keira was ambitious in accomplishing achievements and racking up success.
As long as she could achieve results that benefited Lin Yuan in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was likely that he would give her numerous spirit qi crystals that would aid her development.
Lin Yuan did not care about what Keira thought.
If Lin Yuan had not been so busy in the past few years, he would already have ordered Keira to decrease the size of her nest.
As the number of fetuses increased, Keira built more and more irregular structures in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Hu Quan would complain about this to Lin Yuan each time he saw him.
…
Once Lin Yuan was done speaking, Wen Yu and Liu Jie, who were Sky City’s deputies, spoke.
When Liu Jie and Wen Yu were done giving their speeches, Lin Yuan looked at the Moon Empress.
The Moon Empress knew that Lin Yuan wanted her to say a few words. But after pondering for a moment, she shook her head at Lin Yuan.
She, Cold Moon, and Mystic Moon were supporters who stood behind Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu. They were there to watch them grow.
The Moon Empress felt that this was the best decision.
If the Moon Empress wanted to obtain special treatment and authority in Sky City, she would have already used her title as the CIty Lord’s Master to issue orders.
…
Hu Quan led Lin Yuan in admiring all of the interior designs and decorations of Sky City. He had spared no expense in the construction of Sky City.
With the guarantee that no functions were omitted, the entire Sky City had been constructed as a work of art.
All of the walls of Sky City’s interior had been carved with the hollowed low relief technique. Phoebe zhennan boards that were almost 20 centimeters thick were embedded into the walls and carved using the hollowed low relief technique. As a result, the carvings all seemed to be animated and full of life.
