Chapter 1319 - 876: Starport (2)

Chapter 1319: Chapter 876: Starport (2)

Because in those seven days he hadn’t actually moved forward, it was more like a consumption of the concept of time.

Very complicated.

Kana has no Rule related to time, so there’s no way for him to understand more.

The white light had completely wrapped around him.

In the next second, the feeling of gravity shifted slightly, and his feet were already stepping onto solid, icy-cold ground.

His vision suddenly opened up, yet it carried a kind of shattered grandeur.

He looked around.

He was standing on an extremely vast, giant rock platform, as if some colossal force had brutally pried it apart.

Under his feet was dark gray ancient rock, covered in impact craters from meteorites, its jagged edges interlocking like teeth, extending straight out toward the deep, boundless black Void.

With no atmosphere as a barrier, above his head was the vast, limitless deep space of the Star Realm.

Countless stars were clearer and more brilliant than when gazed upon from any world, enormous nebulae slowly rotating like ethereal ribbons, emitting a cold and everlasting radiance.

Huge celestial fragments floated around the platform in the surrounding Void like silent Giant Beast bones, forming a grand and desolate backdrop.

This was the "air harbor" of Star Ring City—a gigantic platform transformed from the wreckage of some shattered plane, and also a traffic hub connecting countless worlds.

It belonged to Star Ring City, but was still at a certain small distance from the city itself.

Completely different from the heavy war-furnace atmosphere of the first layer of the Blood War Fortress he had just left, this place was filled with a busy, noisy, and oddly "commercial" vitality.

Across the platform, warehouse buildings as large as small fortresses stood densely packed, each with its own distinct style.

Some domes were naturally formed from huge crystal clusters, some were cubes made entirely of Refined Gold frames and transparent energy curtain walls.

Some were stone grotto palaces carved out of massive rock, and there was even a huge "cocoon" seemingly woven from living plants coiling around each other.

At the doors of these warehouses, all sorts of transportation vehicles he had never seen before came and went without end.

"Warehouses, huh?"

Kana could very clearly sense the Spatial fluctuations coming from inside these warehouses; the so-called warehouse was merely an outer shell.

You could understand them as large-scale Space Equipment, only their exterior was big enough to be virtually a building.

"Really High Level Spatial Cut. The space inside might well rival a small country."

Kana muttered to himself as he sensed it.

And around these warehouses were all kinds of giant vehicles.

The most eye-catching was a kind of wooden sailing ship so elegant it was practically art.

The aesthetics matched Kana’s tastes so perfectly that he was drawn to it at a glance.

One look at that style and you knew it was Elf work.

Elf stuff is just way too recognizable.

These Magic airships didn’t float on water—rather, they hovered directly in the air several meters above the ground.

The hulls were made of some strange Spirit wood that shimmered with a gentle, warm luster; the sails weren’t fabric, but woven from pure Magic Energy, complex Arcane Runes flowing across them, each a different color like streaming banners.

They glided in total silence, using the soft halo emanating from their underside to cancel gravity.

They weaved nimbly between warehouses, loading or unloading cargo containers that emitted faint light or strange fluctuations.

This was clearly the work of some Elf from a highly developed Magic civilization.

Elf visual elements are forever strongly associated with elegance, slenderness, and Nature.

If all three are present, you can basically conclude it’s an Elf product—the accuracy rate is over ninety percent.

Of course, obviously vehicles and such come in many types, each Race with its own characteristics; aside from these Elf Magic spirit-ships—

What else caught Kana’s eye was another peculiar kind of vehicle: huge stone spheres with constantly rippling surfaces.

These stone spheres ranged from a few hundred meters to several kilometers in diameter. Their texture looked like Obsidian formed from cooled lava, yet their surfaces flowed like living water with searing magma-like patterns, bulging and collapsing from time to time.

They didn’t move by rolling; instead, the rock platform beneath them seemed to actively "flow" out a path that carried them sliding along.

Kana could clearly sense the unique pulsing energy of Elemental Life from the core of each sphere—these were "living transport ships" formed by powerful Earth Element or Fire Element Lifeforms. They were vehicles in themselves, and also porters.

"Absurd. There are actually ships like this... really opening my eyes."

Maybe a few game versions later you’d see something like this, but at least Kana hadn’t.

Seeing this kind of thing for the first time—not exactly soul-shaking, but definitely surprising.

Mainly he’d just never imagined ships could take this form.

In stark contrast to the elegant sailboats and mysterious stone spheres were the steel leviathans brimming with industrial Power.

Their appearance was closer to the starships in Kana’s own understanding of interstellar warships, but with a rough, heavy style; their massive Metal hulls were covered in rivets, welding marks, and enormous exhaust vents and cooling fins.

Engine nozzles spewed out bluish or blazing white particle streams, emitting a deep and powerful roar.

These ships were usually the largest in size, docked beside the biggest warehouses, using thick mechanical arms or energy beams for efficient bulk cargo loading and unloading. Their style was hard-edged, branded with a strong steampunk or heavy industrial civilization imprint.

They were clearly from some highly advanced plane that worships mechanical Power.

"But their core is still Magic. Otherwise, something this rough flying around would obviously be wrong."

Kana observed while silently throwing out a snarky comment.

On top of that, he could see mobile platforms borne on the backs of huge shelled creatures.

Flat "Flying Carpets" woven purely from light.

And even completely invisible vehicles that left only traces of Spatial disturbance behind...

Transport tools from every corner of the Star Realm, from civilizations wildly different in form, were all operating together on this shattered platform.

"I really should record this and show Bobo and the others what they’re missing."

Thinking of that, he flicked his interface panel out.

He tentatively sent a message through the channel.

For the first time, Kana saw a loading circle while data was being transmitted. He’d set up such a feature before, but Datafication was, in essence, the world’s Rule Power.

So that "currently transmitting" icon had never appeared; this was the first time Kana had ever seen it.

"Let me have a look..."

It was too far away—or rather, the Power of Datafication had fully manifested inside the world and in the surrounding regions, including the Abyss connected to it.

The reason Datafication Power had appeared in the Abyss was that Kana had forcibly inlaid a chunk of spatial territory split off from the original world into the Blood Battle Battlefield.

This Datafication Power, unique to that world, had already made a name for itself in the Star Realm, but hadn’t fully spread.

Fortunately, Kana himself was the embodiment of this Power of Datafication; he held absolute authority over Datafication.

So he could use himself as one terminal to send to another terminal—that is, to areas covered by the Data Rule.

But if other people came here, their connection to other Night Watchers would be cut off.

Simply put, the Rule of Datafication would still exist in its own Datafication, and could still be used.

But things like the map channel—anything that connects to other Night Watchers—would be severed.

You could just call it a network outage: you’re not on the same local network anymore.

Even for Kana, using it here took some effort.

But at least he himself could still use it.

After confirming that, Kana turned his attention back outward.

When he looked up at the Void above the shattered plane, the scene was even more astounding.

Countless gigantic Teleportation Gates were embedded in the dark sky like stars, all different in size and shape, each emanating an energy halo of different colors and fluctuations.

These light gates were like the breathing pores of the cosmos: new ships—from delicate Magic flyers to star-dwarfing interstellar motherships—were constantly leaping out of them, or sailing into them and vanishing.

Huge ships trailed long energy wakes, shuttling back and forth along invisible, preset routes like a swarming hive.

Sharp alert tones carried via Spirit or some kind of Spatial Vibration, and broadcasts in different languages likewise diffused as Spirit waves, intertwining to form the unique background noise of this star region.

"Motherf—this is really rude. The alert sound actually drills straight into people’s heads."

The level of rudeness could definitely compete with some places in the Abyss.

Thankfully, they were just alerts, and aside from being noisy didn’t have any other real impact.

He casually filtered them out.
