"Mom, Mom."
"What are you doing?"
A little boy's voice rang out in a courtyard in Black Tortoise City. Dressed in split-crotch pants and holding a pinwheel, he tilted his head at his mother, who knelt with her hands clasped, and asked in puzzlement.
A golden bulb hung beneath the eaves, shining more brightly than usual.
And bulbs like it
hung in every household and along every street in the city. Eternal Night Continent had hundreds of such cities.
"Mom, I..."
The woman forced a smile and stroked the boy's head. "Mom is praying that the Mortal Domain gets through this crisis safely."
"The Mortal Domain will definitely get through it."
"Why?"
"Because my Mortal Domain is the biggest, biggest one."
The boy nodded with utmost seriousness. Then he knelt beside his mother, copying her. He set down his pinwheel and clasped his tiny hands. "I'll do it with you, Mom."
Scenes like this

Chen Fan had appeared before the Missile Storage Base. Lin Mancang, the team leader in charge, did not approach. He only watched the domain lord's retreating figure with a heavy heart. The base, once filled with neatly arranged missiles, now looked sparse.
He knew the domain lord loved this place.
The domain lord had personally built and installed every Sky-Piercing Pillar. He even had the Logistics Pavilion mark their positions
