The closed, black cavity caused by the warp drive quickly subsided, and a blue planet appeared at the end of the red and blue spectrum. The holographic image of the planet was rapidly enlarged in the spacecraft, and its surface details became visible. It was strikingly beautiful.

The planet was entirely covered by water. Clouds, storms, waves, whirlpools, and all the other embellishments looked like they had been drawn on a blue scroll; it brought a sense of openness and magnificence that instantaneously dispelled the trauma and solemnity of the journey to the ruins from three days ago. The passengers in the lounge gazed at Io and were lost in thought. Some softly exclaimed in awe.

These people had never seen a planet entirely covered by the ocean. It was not even in their imagination.

When Zeon Lucas saw planet Io, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and he whispered, “It is indeed the homeworld of the sirens; there is water everywhere.”

“Crap! Why can’t the habitat of the sirens be made up entirely of water?” Hessiana shot her century-old nemesis a sideways glance and smiled in a mocking manner. “Oh yes, you’re a landlubber. Are you spasming from seeing the water?”

“The Blood Clan has never liked water, mind you!” The corner of Zeon Lucas’ eye twitched. “A freak like you isn’t afraid of water—not even holy water. You’re an embarrassment.”

“Vivian is not afraid of these things too!” Hessiana’s arm akimbo and her face proud. “It is what a senior Blood Clan should be! I tell you what, you have to work hard to overcome your racial weakness. If you trust me, find our Hessianite Family when you go back. I will give you a crash course, soaking you in the holy water. If you can’t come out alive, you will be sanctified.”

Jean Lucas was struck dumb.

He felt that he could not keep up with the train of thought of the shame of the race.

While the two of them were cackling, the silver-white patrol frigate Petrachelys had already entered the atmosphere of Io and gradually approached Io’s vast expanse of ocean.

“Are we going to ‘land’ on the ocean this time?” asked a vampire noble with a frown. “I do not like it.”

“There must be something like a landing field,” a shadeling said. “Or maybe a boat or something.”

“Wait a minute, there is something on the sea. What is that?”

The azure sea surface and some neatly arranged black dots zoomed in quickly in everyone’s field of vision. When it was close enough, they finally knew what those dots were—floating steel cities.

The oval-shaped artificial islands floating on the sea of ​​Io had the same shape and size and connected to each other by steel bridges and pipes. Old buildings were densely packed on these lands cast from steel as if ruins after a disaster. On the edge of the artificial islands, there were many newly added structures—piers, racks, seafood being air-dried on the shelves, and net made of metal cables covered in seaweed. Boats were traversing between these things, seemingly collecting produce.

These structures should be the fish farms built by the islands’ residents.

In the Petrachelys’ flight deck, Hao Ren also saw those floating structures. The group of floating cities had not changed much compared with when he left previously. Those ark inhabitants still could not alter the old starship. It would take them a few generations of education before they could restore their ability to operate the equipment. But there was some stuff appeared around the urban agglomeration: those piers and metal nets used to farm edible water plants, as well as rudimentary vessels cruising in littoral water. The inhabitants of the ark must have developed these things earlier after he left.

“It seems that Lorenz’s work is progressing well,” Vivian said with a smile. “The ark residents have begun to look for resources from nature. It is not easy for the exiles who had lived in an enclosed spacecraft for 10,000 years. That means they have begun to learn to survive after leaving the ark’s life-supporting system.”
