Chapter 323: Construction Complete, Lift-off!

2025-01-02

Starlight Calendar 4502, northwest of Starlight City.

A majestic and towering city stood tall in the wilderness, its interior filled with white-themed architectural clusters, various spires, and arches standing tall, exuding a uniquely beautiful charm.

If a wizard were here, they would also sense the awe-inspiring, surging energy enveloping the entire city.

At the very center of the city, atop the Central Crystal Tower.

Sunan stood before a crystal ball, his eyes fixed on the three-dimensional model in front of him.

【Starlight Floating City】

【Level: Small (Enhanced)】

【Remaining Energy: 100%】

【Intelligent Auxiliary Life: Commander 1 (Enhanced)】

【Facilities: Elemental Furnace (Enhanced), Energy Transmission Network (Enhanced), Floating Device, Eco-Garden, Central Plaza, Central Crystal Tower, Floating Tower Docking Area, Magic-Proof Prison, Residential Area, Warehouse Area, Experimental Area】

【Servants: Clay Golem x6812, Stone Golem x3622, Water Sprite x1323, Water Nymph x1392, Flower Fairy x3284, Ogre Antman x3217】

【Defense Systems: Maze Defense System, Superlarge Energy Shield】

【Combat Systems: Incantation Cannon Tower IV x12000, Dissipation Cannon IV x1820, Plasma Cannon III x532, Pulse Cannon III x102, Mana Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon x1, Floating Tower x300, Golem Legion (Mana Armored Construct x30, Supreme Golem x100, Vajra Golem.)】

"With this, the construction is complete."

Sunan breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile of genuine joy spreading across his face.

Just moments ago, the floating device had been successfully installed.

This also meant that the final project of the Starlight Floating City was now complete.

With this, the entire floating city had been built.

"Commander 1, scan the current buffs applied to the Floating City."

【Command received, initiating scan.】

【Scan complete.】

【The Floating City has not activated the 'Permanent Spell' buff of the Maze Defense System, and the only buffs come from the energy dispersion characteristic of the Elemental Furnace.】

【Within the Floating City, energy particle activity increases by 100% to 300%, all allied wizards and apprentices have their mental strength recovery speed increased by 150%, and the automatic constant super magic techniques 'Spell Delay', 'Spell Range Extension', and 'Spell Amplification' are activated, slightly increasing casting speed and elemental affinity.】

Looking at the data displayed before him, Sunan nodded in satisfaction.

The Starlight Floating City is hailed as one of the pinnacle creations of wizard civilization, not only for its formidable combat power but also for its wide-range buffing characteristics.

As long as a wizard (apprentice) is within the Floating City, their meditation efficiency and spell practice efficiency will significantly increase, and the closer they are to the Central Crystal Tower with the Elemental Furnace, the stronger the effect.

Training in such an environment naturally leads to a rapid increase in strength.

The Floating City can accommodate hundreds of thousands of wizards (apprentices), which is highly beneficial for the development of a wizard faction.

Sunan's Starlight Floating City is even larger, capable of housing a population of two to three hundred thousand, enough to accommodate a significant portion of the Star Alliance's wizards and apprentices, greatly accelerating the alliance's wizard training.

Sunan smiled with satisfaction and promptly issued a new command.

"Calculate the debuffs on enemy casters."

【Within the Floating City, enemy casters consume 30% more mana, their spell power is reduced by 20% to 30%, casting speed is slightly lowered, elemental affinity is slightly decreased, and after activating the Enchanting Field, it can seal the casting abilities of casters below level 4.】

"Not bad."

Sunan nodded.

Without activating the Enchanting Field, the Maze Defense System's ability to weaken enemy casters to this extent is already impressive.

Combined with the buffs for allied casters, the gap in combat power between allies and enemies is evident.

As for the effect of the Enchanting Field, it was as Sunan expected.

The Enchanting Field essentially suppresses energy particle activity to a minimum, rendering it almost stagnant and unmovable, not yet reaching the level of restricting the power of the Law, and thus unable to restrict True Spirit Wizards.

It's worth mentioning that the Enchanting Field is not always fully activated; usually, only a portion is activated, specifically targeting certain lethal spells for restriction. Once the corresponding spell is detected, it immediately seals off the energy particle activity within a certain range around the target, halting the spell's execution.

This is also to prevent some spells from damaging the structures of the Floating City.

Only the Magic-Proof Prison in the entire Floating City constantly maintains an active Enchanting Field.

At this moment, Sunan suddenly received a request to enter the Central Crystal Tower.

As the most crucial core area of the Floating City, only he could freely enter and exit the Central Crystal Tower.

Without his permission, not even Lizai, who was second only to the Star Alliance's leader, could enter the Central Crystal Tower.

Soon, a figure appeared out of thin air beside Sunan.

It was Lizai.

"Is the Floating City completed?"

Lizai asked eagerly.

After receiving Sunan's message, she rushed over, filled with anticipation.

Not every second-rate wizard faction has the ability to build a Floating City.

Take Xing Yun Hui, for example; until its demise, the plan to construct a Floating City remained only on paper.

Lizai had high expectations for Sunan's Floating City from the very beginning of its construction.

Now, hearing that the Floating City was already built, she naturally was eager to witness it.

Sunan smiled and nodded, "You've come just in time. The energy is fully charged, and it's time to ascend."

As he spoke, Sunan's thoughts moved, and a screen-like illusion appeared before him, showing the underground location of the Floating City.

The entire underground area beneath the city had been excavated, creating numerous passages. Except for the central inverted cone-shaped foundation connecting to the bottom of the Floating City, the rest of the area was almost entirely hollowed out, leaving only some supporting stone pillars.

Countless Ogre Antmen were orderly exiting.

It must be said that the Ogre Antmen were also skilled at digging; their work efficiency was much faster than that of Clay Golems and Stone Golems. In just half a day, they had hollowed out most of the underground area beneath the Floating City.

This way, the resistance during the city's ascension would be significantly reduced, saving more energy.

The Ogre Antmen quickly evacuated, and Sunan subsequently issued commands.

Accompanied by a dull, rumbling sound, the entire ground trembled violently.

The Elemental Furnace emitted a loud buzzing sound as it spun rapidly, and energy nodes quickly appeared with faint purple light. The light spread swiftly downward along the Crystal Trace, and a vast amount of energy reached the Floating Device through the transmission network.

[Initiating 1st Floating Ring, 2nd Floating Ring... All Floating Rings activated.]



At the same time, outside the Floating City, with the gathering of energy, strange silver-white runes began to appear on the ground, intertwining to form enormous rings with a diameter of a hundred meters, covering the entire foundation of the Floating City.

[Preparation complete. Ready to separate from the ground at any time.]



The Tower Spirit Commander's monotonous voice sounded.

Sunan took a deep breath and issued a command in a low voice.

"Begin separation!"

Boom! The entire city seemed to shake! The massive impact instantly shattered the stone pillars supporting the ground.

Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, the land around the Floating City suddenly sank, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Some edge areas had completely cracked, revealing deep, bottomless black holes. Countless rocks fell into the underground cavities, and with the numerous Floating Rings at the center, a striking circular crack appeared along the edge of the land, approximately seven to eight kilometers in diameter. The constantly collapsing edges separated this piece of land, and amidst the loud rumbling, it seemed as if it would immediately sink into the ground.

However, soon, a spell's spiritual light spread out, and with a soft 'buzz,' the separated land suddenly stabilized. Then, carrying the majestic and towering city, it began to rise slowly towards the sky.

[Initiating anti-gravity energy.]



[Commencing ascension.]



Accompanied by a giant shadow, the separated land floated in mid-air, resembling a massive suspended mountain.

Regardless of being a wizard apprentice or a full-fledged wizard, everyone was staring at the sky, their faces filled with awe at what was happening.

It was hard to imagine the sight of a giant city floating in the sky, its area exceeding twenty kilometers, unless you witnessed it yourself.

Even the grandest wizard towers seemed like toys in front of the majestic Floating City.

"Such intense energy fluctuations,"

Rose stared at the distant Floating City, her eyes filled with awe and amazement.

The overwhelming energy storm rushing towards them was suffocating, even for a Level 3 wizard like Rose.

This was the might of the Floating City!

Wand and Fakado were equally awestruck.

Although they had witnessed the construction of the Floating City from the beginning and its gradual perfection, and were already familiar with its appearance, seeing the city completed and rising into the sky, and feeling the surging energy up close, they couldn't help but feel awe and wonder in their hearts.

This was the Floating City!

The pinnacle of war creations in wizard civilization!

"Starting today, the Star Alliance truly joins the ranks of the top forces in the Multiverse,"

Wand exclaimed softly, his voice filled with excitement and joy.

Rose and Fakado also showed delighted expressions, deeply impressed.

Having a Floating City made a huge difference for a wizard faction.

Major wizard factions like the Codex of Wisdom and the Deep Blue Alliance, who dominated the wizard world and were revered by countless races and civilizations in the Multiverse, even rivaling divine beings, owed their strength to the Floating City.

Generally, only major wizard factions possessed Floating Cities.

In the development of wizard civilization, only a handful of second-rate wizard factions had their own Floating Cities.

For example, the Blackthorn Tower and the Thousandbird Tower, neither had their own Floating Cities.

Historically, all second-rate wizard factions that possessed Floating Cities eventually rose to become major wizard factions without exception.

The completion of the Starlight Floating City was undoubtedly a significant turning point for the Star Alliance.

With the Floating City, the Star Alliance had the potential to become a major wizard faction.

Even if its current comprehensive strength was not yet on par with the major wizard factions, it was far superior to the numerous second-rate wizard factions.

As a second-rate wizard faction, the Star Alliance's strength was already ahead by a wide margin.

As a member of the Star Alliance, a sense of pride welled up in the hearts of all the wizards present at this moment.

As everyone's emotions surged, Sunan's attention was entirely focused on the Floating City.

As the altitude increased, the mountain peaks serving as the foundation of the Floating City began to show signs of instability.

Sunan remained calm, well-prepared for this.

In an instant, the top of the Central Crystal Tower burst forth with dazzling spell brilliance, and thousands of Mud-to-Stone spells were released, landing on the mountain peaks.

As the spell power spread, the soft soil gradually turned into solid rock, and the cracks on the mountain surfaces disappeared at a visible speed, transforming large areas into complete rock structures.

After just three or four breaths, the mountain peaks quickly regained stability.

Facing the raging winds, the Floating City rose to a height of one kilometer, hovering motionlessly in the sky.

Inside the Central Crystal Tower, Sunan watched the surrounding clouds through the light screen projection, a hint of joy appearing on his lips.

The entire process was even smoother than he had anticipated, without any issues.

With this, the Floating City could be considered truly completed!

From now on, the Star Alliance also had its own Floating City!

Lizai, standing beside him, had her eyes shining, her expression filled with uncontrollable joy.

The completion of the Floating City undoubtedly meant that the Star Alliance had taken a crucial step forward in its development!

From now on, even when facing those major wizard factions, the Star Alliance had the confidence and qualification to stand tall!

"Today is a memorable day for the Star Alliance," Lizai exclaimed softly.

Sunan smiled and said, "There will be many more days like this in the future, so you might not be able to commemorate them all."

Perhaps due to her good mood, Lizai, who rarely showed her coquettish side, gave him a playful glance and said, "Then I'll be waiting, just in case you're boasting."

Sunan smiled and remained silent.

The completion of the Floating City was just the beginning; he still had to continue strengthening and upgrading it.

A small Floating City was the lowest-level Floating City, and above it were medium and large ones, and even the so-called Star Realm Fortress, an ultra-large Floating City!

He still had a long way to go.
