"One, two, three..."
Chen Fan stood at the edge of the Flying Boat's deck, huffing as he built Teleportation Formations as usual, but the next moment—
An urgent voice rang out from his Message Talisman.
"Domain Lord!"
"Something's happened!!"
Almost instantly.
He felt as though his heart had stopped for a moment.
The Fallen Firmament.
On the boundless, flat barrier, Chen Fan appeared on a Teleportation Formation, followed by Crippled Monkey, Wang Kui, Chen Jiutian, and the others. The Commerce Pavilion members already waiting there landed their Flying Boat.
Without the slightest delay.
They picked everyone up and sped onward.
This place was roughly fifty thousand kilometers from the Eternal Night Continent.
After the war.
Following Chen Fan's instructions, the Mortal Domain had continued installing Eyes of Heavenly Derivation across the Fallen Firmament. But installing them was troublesome and costly; he could not possibly cover every surrounding area.
So, after covering the space above the nearest War Mire and its surroundings, they had focused their efforts northward.
Straight North.
Of the three Resource Coordinates left by the Heaven-Evading Strange Entity Heaven's Mandate, he had already finished mining the one at the former site of the Huyi Continent. Another lay in the center of the War Mire, and the last was 471,000 kilometers to the North.
Although it was incredibly distant, with virtually no chance of mining it, he had still wanted to extend the Eyes of Heavenly Derivation there and see whether he could get a look first. However—
Something had gone wrong during that installation process.
An Incense Stick's worth of time later.
The Flying Boat stopped. Around them stood a dozen or so Commerce Pavilion members and Logistics Pavilion Members, along with... a stretch of ruins.
There were abandoned buildings and discarded copper pipes.
"This is the place."
