The Decameron: Day One!

The Cloud Ascending Ship, one of the Arcane Empire's war machines for conquering the multiverse.

If the Floating City was a cross-planar combat fortress, then the Cloud Ascending Ship was a space fortress used by the Great Arcane Masters to traverse the multiverse.

Each Cloud Ascending Ship represented the peak wisdom of the Arcane Empire.

The Arcane Empire also managed the Cloud Ascending Ships very strictly, with very few instances of them being lost.

Even in the current Pro World, the wreckage of Cloud Ascending Ships would be claimed by powerful Magicians, who often studied the boundless wisdom potentially contained within these remnants with an attitude of reverence.

Xu Nan didn't know where this Cloud Ascending Ship came from, only that its name was Blazing Fire and it was a White Dragon-class Cloud Ascending Ship.

The mechanical voice that spoke belonged to the ship's soul, Blazing Fire. It had traveled in the chaotic flow of time and space for too many years. The spellcasters who had piloted this Cloud Ascending Ship back then had abandoned it, leaving Blazing Fire to traverse the universe alone, eventually arriving at the other shore by chance.

Unfortunately, this Cloud Ascending Ship was too severely damaged; restoring it was almost impossible.

At first, the group was very excited and wandered around the Cloud Ascending Ship.

Xu Nan granted them temporary ship access and went to the control room by himself to study.

The ship soul, Blazing Fire, soon fell into slumber.

Xu Nan looked at the complex runes and machinery in the control room, completely lost.

After all, it represented the peak wisdom of the Arcane Empire. If Lü Junyi were a level 15 or higher Industrial Magician right now, Xu Nan might actually have the ambition to repair this Cloud Ascending Ship.

But for now, forget it.

He just wanted to make full use of this unexpectedly arrived Cloud Ascending Ship and maximize its benefits as much as possible.

"If I remember correctly, Blazing Fire said that Lost Paradise and the Arcane Empire were allies."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get temporary control access. Wait..."

Xu Nan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly opened the Lost Paradise trading center in the system!

He searched for content related to the Arcane Empire and Cloud Ascending Ships.

He actually found a book titled Arcane Empire Cloud Ascending Ship Operation and Maintenance Manual (General Version) in a corner!

The author was unknown. Based on the style of Ron Sorcerers, it wasn't hard to guess that it was probably a product of some unscrupulous Sorcerer who had plagiarized an internal manual of the Arcane Empire.

The price of this book wasn't expensive, probably because its owner also felt that getting a Cloud Ascending Ship these days was simply unbelievable.

Xu Nan immediately bought the book for 700 Constant Gold Coins.

The manual quickly appeared in his Storage Bag. It was called a manual, but it was actually a thick book, and the detailed explanations inside gave Xu Nan a headache.

However, for the sake of benefits, Xu Nan still forced himself to read on.

Unconsciously, time passed minute by minute.

By the time he had roughly finished reading the entire book, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The situation in the Dungeon was still peaceful. The initial disturbance caused by the Cloud Ascending Ship had been skillfully suppressed by A Tang.

The Imps were curiously gathered around the Cloud Ascending Ship.

Xu Nan's heart stirred.

He went to the power room and took out the original energy source, which was a large piece ofdiscarded energy block.

Then he put the sealed Greater Demon Heart inside.

In the power furnace, a green light immediately flickered. The Greater Demon Heart trembled a few times, seemingly unwilling to become the energy source for the Cloud Ascending Ship like this, but the powerful sealing spells and energy guiding arrays in the power room prevented any possibility of accidents.

"It actually works."

"According to that manual, the Cloud Ascending Ship has two forms: ship form and base form. Under any circumstances, even if all systems of the Cloud Ascending Ship are destroyed, as long as a little energy is provided, it can be converted into base form."

"If this is true, couldn't it be used as theembryonic form of the Dungeon?"

The more Xu Nan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he quickly ran back to the control room.

Perhaps because of the Greater Demon Heart, Blazing Fire slowly woke up, and several surveillance screens even appeared in the control room.

Xu Nan saw that in one of the rooms, Lü Junyi was trimming Shi Fanglin's fingernails.

After trimming the nails, the two stared at each other.

The latter asked, "What does it feel like to be a Professional?"

The former shook his head, "I don't know... Should we wait a bit longer? Don't you feel anything strange?"

Shi Fanglin was silent for a long time, then revealed a look of determination:

"How about... we still get the appendix removed?"

In another room, Qin Lele was sleeping soundly, while Gu Xiaomeng was kneeling in the adjacent room, seemingly praying silently. A beautiful divine radiance emanated from her.

The Cloud Ascending Ship had many rooms, and the facilities didn't show serious signs of aging. It was a ready-made dwelling.

"Good afternoon." Blazing Fire's voice sounded, "Thank you very much for replacing my energy source. As a temporary access holder, before a higher-level command arrives, you are authorized to order me to do anything."

Xu Nan nodded, "I want to convert to base form."

Blazing Fire was silent for a moment, "Given Blazing Fire's current condition, after converting to base form, it will be almost impossible to restore it; at least a large amount of Titanium Mi Alloy and repair by legendary-level Industrial Magic will be required."

"Are you sure you want to convert to base form?"

Xu Nan went out and greeted the others, then chose to confirm.

The next second, the entire exterior of the Cloud Ascending Ship melted like jelly.

The mysterious Titanium Mi Alloy turned into a semi-liquid, operating according to a certain pattern. Blazing Fire detected the underground space while asking Xu Nan for instructions.

Xu Nan called over his third sister. Under her relatively professional guidance, the Titanium Mi Alloy on the periphery of the Cloud Ascending Ship transformed into tall walls, floors, and domes!

The control room, power furnace, rest area, armory, library... and other buildings of the Cloud Ascending Ship were automatically transplanted to various corners of the base.

All these changes took no more than twenty minutes.

The Imps watched all this and suddenly felt like they were about to be unemployed.

Even A Tang was startled.

Now, the underground city's space and dome were flowing with a faint layer of silver metal liquid, and tall walls stood all around.

Even more amazing was that Blazing Fire intelligently avoided the Linxia River, choosing one side of the river as the location for the Cloud Ascending Ship base.

In its base form, the Cloud Ascending Ship's walls enclosed an area exceeding 4 square kilometers. Although not a standard square, the approximate side length was close to two thousand meters, and it contained many ready-made buildings. The only pity was that most of the buildings were in a paralyzed state.

Even so, it was much stronger than the Gnoll Camp.

"This is a Transformer!" Shi Fanglin exclaimed excitedly when he saw this scene.

He had originally come only for Lü Junyi, but suddenly became fascinated by the Cloud Ascending Ship. Xu Nan was also very generous and directly threw the guide to him.

Anyway, currently, only Xu Nan had administrator privileges for the Cloud Ascending Ship.

The others only had ordinary crew privileges.

With the new base, there was no need to worry about the monster arrival event that might happen tomorrow or the day after.

The monsters thrown over by the Pro Gods probably wouldn't be able to climb over the metal walls made of Titanium Mi Alloy!

"Xu Nan, Xu Nan, is this our underground city now!"

Qin Lele popped her head out of a room on the second floor and cheered excitedly.

Xu Nan smiled and nodded.

"To celebrate the completion of the underground city we created with our diligent hands..."

"I've decided to activate the only usable system in the entire base!"

"Two, turn on the air conditioning!"

Xu Nan solemnly ordered Blazing Fire.

Although Blazing Fire probably didn't understand what "two" meant, it still followed the order and turned on the central air conditioning system.

Soon, the wind in the base began to flow slightly, and the air in the previously somewhat stuffy underground space also became lively.

Everyone was quite happy, as they had never seen such a rare thing. The ubiquitous Blazing Fire patiently answered their questions.

Meanwhile, Xu Nan found Gu Xiaomeng.

"Don't drive me away, I'm not leaving."

Gu Xiaomeng stared with wide eyes: "I... I... she hasn't returned my underwear yet."

Xu Nan pondered: "What exactly does the God of Love and Maidens want with me?"

Gu Xiaomeng shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"I'm just acting according to the Divine Decree. The God won't have bad intentions towards you, after all, the God only wants to spread love..."

"She might think you have potential in this area."

Xu Nan couldn't help but inwardly complain: Potential as a charlatan?

"I eat very little." Gu Xiaomeng looked at Xu Nan pitifully: "Can you let me stay for now, okay?"

"I'm a priest after all, and I know a little medical knowledge, maybe even more than Doctor Lü!"

"I can be of some use."

"I asked those Imps, they all get free food and lodging... I only need free food and lodging too!"

Alright.

Since the girl had said so much, Xu Nan couldn't keep a cold face and drive her away.

He waved his hand: "Then let's provide food and lodging for now, and observe for a month."

Gu Xiaomeng patted her chest, relieved.

Xu Nan watched her happily run back to choose a room and suddenly felt guilty.

Actually, he thought it wouldn't be bad to have another healer in the base.

The Cloud Ascending Ship came with many buildings. Xu Nan ordered Blazing Fire to temporarily seal most of them.

After all, with the wisdom of mortals, prying into the high-end equipment of the Arcane Empire could easily lead to trouble, especially for restless individuals like Qin Lele. Xu Nan repeatedly warned Blazing Fire.

He chose a castle-like building as the brand new City Lord's Hall. The building the Imps had constructed before had already been leveled; there was no other way, that thing was too ugly.

Xu Nan was not who he used to be; he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Just as he had finished settling some things, the Caesar's Gate suddenly spat out another drifting bottle!

Xu Nan, used to such occurrences, took out the drifting bottle.

Every day, he exchanged insights with His Highness Caesar, and the two had become quite close pen pals. Although their motives were probably not pure, they at least had quite a good chat.

From Caesar, Xu Nan also learned a lot of information that couldn't be obtained through bloodlines.

Xu Nan learned that Caesar was a prince who possessed a powerful and rich territory!

And Caesar also learned that Xu Nan was one of the most fortunate spellcasters on Earth, having already established a vast Dungeon!

The two reached an alliance agreement through their letters, exchanging what they had. Caesar eagerly awaited Xu Nan sending the next batch of people over. Xu Nan, on the other hand, subtly wanted to ask him for a map of the Pro World.

"I wonder what topic this pen pal wants to share with me today?"

Xu Nan happily opened the bottle.

Caesar's handwriting today was messy!

It seemed to have been written in a hurry.

"Respected City Lord Xu, an urgent message has come from the World God Kingdom: The First Day has been brought forward!"

At the first line, Xu Nan's heart trembled.

And at this moment, a gentle voice sounded in the ears of everyone on Earth:

"The First Day."

...!
