Chapter 1320: Chapter 877: Worlds Beyond the Stars

Starport.

The starport is infinitely busier than imagined.

Yet amid this busy scene, a standardized type of aircraft stands out remarkably.

They are sharp cone-shaped vessels, entirely covered in silver-gray armor, brimming with kinetic energy circuits.

Embossed on the sides of the ship is a prominent emblem—a design featuring concentric circles encircling a star, unmistakably the emblem of Star Ring City.

These conical patrol ships, like vigilant falcons, perform high-speed, orderly patrols around the massive transport fleets and teleportation gate-dense areas, serving as the keystone power maintaining order in this chaotic airspace.

Kana’s arrival, with his restrained yet destiny and order-ripple-inducing divine essence akin to a deep-water bomb, was immediately detected by the surveillance network in this area.

Almost just as he stabilized his footing and completed his rapid observation of the peculiar scene, a silver-gray patrol conical ship emerged without warning from the teleportation gate’s nearby glow, as if teleporting.

Suspended with precision and silence at low altitude in front of Kana.

Its streamlined hull glimmered faintly, while a hatch beneath the ship’s bow opened like flowing mercury, with no boarding ramp, just a gentle tractor beam cast upon the ground in front of Kana.

A figure lightly "floated" out.

This was a highly human-like crystal construct, shaped as an elegant girl.

Her body was formed from countless well-cut, energy-glow-filled lavender crystals, with joints made of more flexible semi-transparent crystalline tissues, moving smoothly and naturally.

Even though her "face" was composed of crystal, she could perfectly simulate delicate expressions.

She landed about three steps in front of Kana, hands intertwined in front, bowing deeply in a ceremonious gesture blending mechanical precision and living form etiquette, emitting a subtle, pleasant crystal friction sound with her movements.

Under the starlight’s brilliance around them, her unique limb surface reflected appealing radiance.

"I extend the deepest respect to you, venerable god-like presence."

Her voice, clear and melodious like spring water striking crystal, with perfectly programmed respect.

"Welcome to the Star Realm hub, Star Ring City United Starport. I am a captain of the starport’s defense and reception legion under the United Council, and you may call me ’Crystal Key’."

She lifted her "face," her two pure sapphire-made "eyes" gazing warmly at Kana, with inner light swiftly flickering, seemingly conducting final identity verification.

"Esteemed visitor, based on our registration information matching, your divine trait identifier is not recorded in the Star Ring City’s permanent or recent frequent visiting god-like presence list.

"Forgive me if presumptuous, is this perhaps your first visit here to Star Ring City?"

Her tone remained respectful, yet the inquiry carried the directness required by duty.

Kana calmly returned the gaze to this crystal construct captain.

The efficiency and response mode at Star Ring City indeed presented more order and professionalism than he imagined, giving him a sense of returning to a former world.

Moreover, this crystal life form girl in front of him possessed a strength likely around Level Fourteen.

Already quite a considerable power.

Given her position series, just a captain.

Such level assuming significant duties aligns with the positioning of an extraordinarily neutral hub.

He slightly nodded, adjusting his voice.

His voice steady and concise, like striking rock.

"Indeed, you may call me Kana. I heard about the splendor and marvel here, so I came to broaden my knowledge."

Upon hearing Kana’s words, she immediately assessed the current situation.

According to the recent data, indeed a god-like presence, albeit with weak divine power.

Meaning he was a god-like presence of the lowest level, speaking in such a manner, richly emotional intonation.

He was likely a god-like presence who had recently ascended to divinity.

Due to the position requirements.

She couldn’t say she had dealt with many god-like presences, but she knew a fair amount about such top life groups.

Once reaching the god-like presence level, time and lifespan ceased to exist within their life form.

This leads to some lives possibly having great age, wherein centuries can be considered quite young.

Ordinarily starts from a millennium.

With millennia of experience, even emotionally rich life forms, in conversations with strangers, adopt indifferent and emotionless attitudes.

This is almost standard for god-like presences.

Not that they lack emotions, but in facing low-level stranger life forms with no connection, they rarely stir any emotion.

Thus, the god-like presence before her was likely a very young god-like presence and not long ascended to divinity.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that his personality and rules are inclined towards entertainment and activity.

Having determined some information.

"Venerable Kana."

Crystal Key captain bowed again, a slightly more vivid "honored" expression seeming to appear on her crystal face.

"Witnessing a new divine radiance illuminating Star Ring City is the starport’s honor and my personal supreme honor. Your presence will make Star Ring City’s brilliance even more resplendent."

An obligatory note of honored praise.

She straightened, stance still meticulous, tone transitioning to more pragmatic respect:

"Honored presence being new here, surely curious about Star Ring City’s structure and landscape. As part of the starport reception series, do I have the honor of temporarily serving as your guide, offering an introduction to the wonders of this ’Ring of Many Worlds’?
