Chapter 135: Checking (Island Orb)
Yes, this group of three consisted of Laras, Lein, and Nita. They were currently on their way to the main teleportation area in Heavenly News city.
"I think that\'s enough. Our next task is to determine the development direction of the island," Lein replied clearly.
After receiving information from Elder Wan about the next development of the Main Island, Lein made it his top priority. His contribution points were already high enough, making it nearly impossible for other rulers to catch up.
"Hahaha... Don\'t worry, Sister Laras. Even if the top alliances worked together, they wouldn\'t be able to surpass Brother Lein\'s contribution points," Nita chimed in from the side.
Nita didn\'t really care about any of that. Her task was to handle minor duties for Lein that no one else could do, not even the core members of the alliance.
Thus, Lein\'s group made their way through the main street toward the teleportation area smoothly and without any obstacles. Since entering the cultivation realm, they had only encountered foolish individuals a few times, but it never led to any fighting.
Lein thought that it might be because it was still wartime, and the security officers\' vigilance was heightened, preventing young masters from prominent cultivator families from testing their luck. These young masters could die if they messed with the wrong young master who had come to aid his race in the war.
Fortunately, Lein\'s group did not encounter any troublemakers, and they were able to collect points safely and smoothly.
A few minutes later, they finally reached the main teleportation area. As usual, the area was filled with people of various races. Lein and the others chose one of the portals at the edge of the area and entered it, teleporting to the Divine Sky realm.
...
Almost at the same time, three people emerged from one of the portals in the Teleportation Hub in the City of Life.
These three were Lein, Laras, and Nita, who had just entered teleportation earlier.
"All right, since it\'s night now, let\'s rest. What about you, Laras?" Lein said to the two girls.
"Um... I\'ll rest too, Brother Lein. As you said, our position is already very high and won\'t change," Laras replied casually.
Lein nodded, then looked at Nita beside him. "How about you?"
"I\'m also tired; I want to rest."
With that, Lein and Nita parted ways with Laras and returned to their respective homes. They entered another portal that led directly to their homes. Of course, only certain people had access to these portals.
Upon arriving at a small portal not far from the town hall building where Lein and Nita lived, Nita said goodbye and immediately headed upstairs to rest, while Lein went to the middle of the first floor.
The first floor of the town hall building was a common area with a living room for receiving guests, a kitchen, a storage room, etc. Among all these, there was a special room in the center that was heavily guarded. At this moment, Lein was heading toward that special room.
Lein walked down the first-floor corridor, continuing toward the center of the room.
Not long after, he saw a room with metallic white walls, protected by an array formation. Not only was it guarded by the formation, but two soldiers were also standing watch. When they saw Lein, they saluted and remained in their positions.
The two guards were Tier-2 strength, enough to deter any city hall officials from acting out.
Seeing them salute, Lein nodded casually. He then stood right in front of the room\'s door. Next, he placed his palm on the protective layer of the array formation.
Krak...
The protective array formation disintegrated and disappeared. As the owner, Lein didn\'t need much time to unlock the array. Once the array formation vanished, Lein placed his palm on the door. On the left side of the door, there was a place to rest his hand—a scanner that looked like a handprint scanner.
When Lein placed his palm on it, the scanner box changed color from white to green. Shortly after, a wide laser beam emitted from the door, scanning Lein standing in front of it.
"Huft... safe, but so bothersome," Lein said casually as he watched all the security measures this special room took for protection.
Soon, the green door indicated that Lein could enter the room. As the door opened, Lein walked inside.
The contents of the room were simple: a transparent orb floated above a black box. The orb emitted a pure aura that was indescribable. Every time Lein approached this orb, he felt that it was extraordinary.
Yes, this orb was the island\'s energy source; everything was managed through this orb. All information about the island was stored in it, including population, the number of buildings, and more.
[Island Orb]
- Owner: Lein
- Island Speed: 1,000 km/second
- Island Size: 50 million square km
- Population: 1.3 billion
- Defence Tower Building: (Galactic Fortress - Territory Artifact), (Fire Cannon), (Sky Punishment Mortar), (Divine Dragon Nest), (Kai Tribe Warrior Nest), ...
- Defence: 5,000,000
"Hm... I wonder if this display will change once we exit Aetheris," Lein murmured softly.
After hearing Elder Wan\'s explanation about Aetheris, Lein felt a bit worried about his island, so he immediately checked his Island Orb.
Besides being the island\'s energy source, the Island Orb itself was proof of ownership for a ruler over an island. Like the Core Members, they no longer had an Island Orb because they had joined Lein\'s island.
Lein had already duplicated his Island Orb, placing copies in special locations guarded by special troops. All duplicated Island Orbs had display panels that closely resembled the original Island Orb before him.
Nevertheless, Lein still had his own concerns and would check the main Island Orb whenever he had time.
"All right, let\'s wait three days. I\'m curious to see what will happen once the inter-racial war event ends," Lein said to himself.
Lein then exited the white room, reactivating the main door security and re-engaging the protective array formation. Once completed, Lein turned and went upstairs to his bedroom.
