Many of the buildings in the City of Eternal Darkness "grew" out of the cliff walls, forming staggered district platforms.
Another portion lay within the strata at the edge of the Abyss.
A place like the Heavenly Human Guild was even more special, like an isolated island suspended in the Abyss, touching neither sky nor ground.
Its very method of construction filtered out a portion of people, ensuring they would never reach it.
The maglev bus—roughly speaking, that was what the thing was—wound along the cliff wall in a twisting route, even burrowing into it at certain times. The route was so complicated it made one's eyes twitch.
But no matter how it wound around, when Ronan reached his stop and got off, what he saw was still the darkness and emptiness spreading between the cliffside buildings and the lights of the Heavenly Human Guild in the distant dark.
The people getting off the maglev bus basically couldn't be bothered to glance that way. Time in the City of Eternal Darkness was extremely precious and difficult; any bit saved was worth saving.
Ronan did not hesitate either. He flew straight up from the stop, crossing this roughly two-kilometer stretch of void with his physical body.

Of course, no matter where it was, celestials always had certain privileges, even before the final procedures were completed.
Over there, a guide was already waiting.
