Year 36 of the Human Calendar - City Airspace - near the Antonov

As I Reach the altitude of the ship...

“THE KING IS BACK!!“

I hear the voice of Cid.

“WIND MANIPULATORS, TO STARBOARD!!“ Cid

The twins, Mai and other members of the crew use their skills to bring me back on the ship.

“Welcome back, Master hero“ Mai

“I am back, How is the wounded man?“ Linjian

“He's fine, The Witch took him to Fei at the onboard clinic“ Mai

“She said that he will wake up soon“ Shaolan

Shaolan walks close to me and joins the conversation.

“And Usain?“ Linjian

“Honoka said that after dealing with the city lord guards, He kept an eye on the villagers. He should be here any second“ Shaolan

The sharpshooters are on guard against any unforeseen event.

[Looks like it's time to start the show]

...

(We reached the center of the city)

Cid takes the Five meters radius purple stone from its storeroom in the center of the deck.

“ORRRAAAAAA!“ Cid

And he throws it off the port side.

*CRRRRRRRRKK*

*CLINK**CLINK*

The steel chain around it makes sounds as it supports the stone below the Antonov.

[Everything is in place]

(Lets do this)

“Animal Whisperer“ Linjian

The purple stone is a giant Mana Stone, made of fifty Mana stone combined by Transmutation.

“RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY!“ Linjian

Its function is to increase the range of my Animal Whisperer to almost ten kilometers in any direction. Increasing it further with the help of the Wind Manipulators, it becomes sufficient to speak to the full extent of any city.

“Have you ever felt like this isn't right?“

“Have you ever considered the possibility of a new life?“

“Have you ever desired to change?“

“...“

“I know that most of you did, because I did so“

“Throughout my life I kept questioning the way the cities are managed“

“The way they ignore the sick“

“The way they treat the weak“

“The way they let the killers roam the streets free“

“Those thoughts were just thoughts, I was too weak to do something at that time“

“I was just a farmer from one of the strongest cities of the West Continent“

“...“

“But now it is different“

“I was blessed by the goddesses of life and peace, together with everyone in this ship“

The Water Manipulators dissolve the clouds and the Fire Manipulators create some signals to inform our position.

“Now we crossed the ocean and reached the sky in the center of this city, to offer you the same blessing to you“

“The blessing of healing the sick“

“The blessing of feeding the hungry“

“The blessing of justice!“

“The blessing of... HUMANITY!!“

“...“

“I am Linjian, a former commoner from the West Continent, and I humbly ask you“

“Follow us to a new home, to a new world, to a new future“

“If you are willing to follow this Human inquisition, then please come to the closest gate on the border walls. We will be there for you the next four days, at all times“

Apparently the array will last about five days without a city lord, that was the case before.

“...And to the cultivators who think commoners should shut up and follow the ways of the empire, this is our answer“

[876 MP CONSUMED]

[That message was a little bit costly, it was a good idea to recharge your MP beforehand]

“Usain, whenever you want“ Linjian

“It is time kids, don't hold back“ Usain

“YES!“ Vivi and Joanna

The three of them jump on a yellow cloud at ten meters far from the ship.

“Fire Manipulation...“ Usain

“Fire Manipulation - Twincast...“ Vivi and Joanna

A fireball larger than the ship appears in the sky of the city lord domain as the ship soars into the clouds.

“Meteor!“ The three

The combined skill slowly collapses to the ground.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM*

...

“Animal Whisperer“ Linjian

“The era of cultivators is over, now is time to move forward“

“Not only in power, but also in culture“

“Humans and cultivators that still have a human heart, don't forget that your future and the future of your children depends on this. Don't forget to go to the gates of a better tomorrow“

“Let these words of culture guide your hearts and minds“

[183 MP CONSUMED]

“Mai, Are you ready?“ Linjian

“I am always ready!“ Mai

She stands in the center of the ship.

“Song of Mana - Black gold“ Mai

*♪♪♪*

“Letting you decide on which you want to go♪“

“But when asked I told a lie♪“

“The one who pointed to the right♪“

“Has gone to the left♪“

“In order to be able to survive♪“

“In order to continue to survive♪“

“That is how it is said♪“

“Isn't it painful to say those words?♪“

“Until I was covered with wounds♪“

“I continued to cry♪“

“This affair that has become torn apart♪“

“I was scared, I averted my eyes and I ran away♪“

“Stopping my tracks and took a glance♪“

“But I was not prepared to change anything♪“

*♪♪♪*

(We will need to do a lot when we go back to the kingdom-state)

[System serums, basic education to everyone, criminal background checks, food preparation for new immigrants and more]

(It may take us a little over a year to proceed to another city)

*♪♪♪*

“Letting you decide on which you want to go♪“

“But when asked I told a lie♪“

“The one who pointed to the right♪“

“Has gone to the left♪“

“Isn't it painful to say those words?♪“

“Isn't it painful to have desires?♪“

“Until I was covered with wounds, I continued to cry♪“

“I am scared, so scared and I want to change♪“

*♪♪♪*

(Hong POV)

I walk to the entrance of the farm, to her tomb.

“Ning'er, today we will start a life in a new place“ Hong

“But I promise that when this new power inside of me grows enough, I will come back“ Hong

“I promise too“ Yunfeng

I smile to my son and look back to the tomb.

“See you soon, my love“ Hong

“Bye, mom“ Yunfeng

I need to see where this new future is going.
