In an ancient-style grand hall brimming with advanced technology, immortals and demon beasts in crisp military uniforms and traditional robes held a meeting. Short hair, long hair, ethereal immortal airs, and science fiction coexisted beneath dim lighting, amid screens large and small and holographic projections that nearly recreated the scenes themselves. The monkey and phoenix seated at the head of the table stared stiffly ahead. The meeting proceeded swiftly, and military orders were sent to the various camps one after another.
A beautiful female broadcast voice rang through the Airport Terminal.
"Heavenly army deployment. The Immortal Bridge is temporarily closed to the public."
"Passengers at Platforms One, Two, Eleven, and Thirty-Five, please follow the directions to wait at other platforms. All immortal gods and heavenly officials, attend to your respective duties~"
"Carefree upon the Immortal Path, beneath the distant blue heavens lies the machinery of creation~"
"All immortals, please wait patiently. The Immortal Bridge will reopen in three shichen. Please keep your Ship Tickets safe~"
Immortals, gods, demons, and beasts of every age and kind quickly vacated the platforms. The immortals and demon beasts who often traveled via the Immortal Bridge calmly found good spots to meditate, composed and unhurried, making sure everyone knew they were seasoned travelers who often went abroad. The young cultivators seeing the world for the first time craned their necks and peered about, cautious but curious. Under strict supervision, the terminal remained orderly. Soon, several fleets composed of metal-gray warships of varying sizes sailed toward the Immortal Bridge.
At a waiting pavilion built outward from the edge of a platform cliff, several young male and female cultivators in identical robes leaned on the railings and watched curiously.
An Interstellar Battle Armor larger than a city, gleaming with a metallic sheen, slowly passed beyond the platform.
