Chapter 808: Ethereal City (2/2)
Although the land held by Space Dominion was no smaller than that of the Darkness Dominion, there were only three major cities, namely, Ethereal City, Sanctus City, and Phantasia City. The three cities occupied two-thirds of the entire Space Dominion. There were no restrictions on who could enter. All gods, no matter the energy they cultivated in, were allowed to enter and live in those cities.
The divine guards of those cities normally wouldn’t interfere with the day-to-day activities of the inhabitants. Small fights and brawls were common in the Space Dominion, which the divine guards wouldn’t care to interrupt. They would only step in on some large-scale fights and on matters that would affect the normal operation of the cities.
Not all the Space Dominion divine guards were cultivators of space edict. Most of them were volunteers made up of foreign experts who went there to avoid conflicts between other Divine Dominions. Their only duty was to keep their cities functioning normally. They loved the freedom they enjoyed and they wished to preserve their unfettered way of life that only the Space Dominion could provide.
The Overgod of Space frequently travels between various material planes and rarely stayed in the Space Dominion. His approach to managing his Dominion was to be completely hands-free and to leave it all to his followers. Most of the powers and all of the tasks were delegated to the administrators. It made the Space Dominion a very unique region.
When Han Shuo heard that McKinley’s destination was Ethereal City, he smiled and replied, “That’s great! I’m also heading to Ethereal City. We both have the same destination and I don’t have to take a detour!”
“What are you going to Ethereal City for?” McKinley was puzzled. He knew that Han Shuo had never been to the Space Dominion and couldn’t understand why he would be going to the City.
“Oh, I have an appointment with someone,” replied Han Shuo. After thinking for a bit, Han Shuo asked, “Where should I go after entering the City? Who do I look for and how?”
McKinley hesitated for a moment before he transmitted back to Han Shuo, “Head to the City first and learn about the current situation. I haven’t decided just yet.”
Han Shuo understood that as McKinley was only left with his divine soul, he did not have much power in defending himself. If the person he wanted to meet tried to harm him, there wouldn’t be much that he could do. Therefore, he must consider his plan very carefully.
“Alright then, I’ll head to Ethereal City. You still have time to decide!” without saying much, Han Shuo put away the Grail imprisoning McKinley.
“The divine soul in the Grail is very powerful. Who is the person?” asked Rose. She was around when Han Shuo and McKinley chatted and she could sense the fluctuation from McKinley’s divine soul.
“A very unlucky highgod. He’s one of the reasons I came to the Space Dominion,“ Han Shuo casually explained.
Rose seemed astonished. After staring blankly for a moment, she asked, “What realm is he at?”
“Late-stage highgod. But without his divine body, he could only stay inside the pitiful little Grail. Haha,” replied Han Shuo. After taking a deep breath, Han Shuo smilingly instructed, “Come, let’s head to Ethereal City!”
Half a month later, Han Shuo and Rose stepped into Ethereal City. The divine guards there weren’t strict about restricting entry to the City. They didn’t even demand any payment of crystal coins from Han Shuo or Rose. After taking a glance at their divine tablets, the duo was allowed to enter.
Those living in the Space Dominion wouldn’t need to worry about attacks from other Divine Dominions. There normally wouldn’t be any large-scale fight happening in the cities. These divine guards basically need only to maintain the most basic order. Their presence was close to dispensable to the existence of Ethereal City.
The Ethereal City, other than the gods cultivated in a wide variety of energies, Han Shuo noticed that it was much more bustling than the other cities he visited. It might be because the Space Dominion had just three main Cities. Shops selling divine weapons, divine scrolls, energy crystals, medicines, and many other things covered every corner.
The City was so enormous that it would take around one week to visit the entire City by flying. An average lowgod and highgod would need even more time.
Han Shuo wasn’t too interested in the bustling activities in Ethereal City. As soon as he stepped inside, he unfolded his consciousness and started wandering around the City with Rose.
The Five Elite Zombies and Little Skeleton were made using Han Shuo’s blood essence. Han Shuo could sense their presence if they were within a certain range. If anyone of them were in Ethereal City, Han Shuo will be able to locate them after circling the City once through.
Han Shuo flew across the streets with his consciousness fully unfolded. However, after flying for a full day, he still did not discover the presence of any of the Elite Zombies or Little Skeleton. He thought, Perhaps none of them have come yet? Or did they ran into troubles?
Just as Han Shuo started to feel worried, he suddenly sensed Earth Elite Zombie’s presence.
Han Shuo was overjoyed. He immediately sped up and flew towards Earth Elite Zombie with Rose.
