Chapter 155: Wanfu City's Heart of Founding a Nation

~10 min read 1,940 words

"The Ancient God Train is under construction, relevant service personnel have been equipped, combat personnel are being recruited, the route has not yet been opened, and the train is temporarily docked in the outer area of the Wan-Gui Frozen Plain... According to estimates, the official route will open in ten days."

"If you choose a soft sleeper as your residence, you will receive comprehensive protection from the Ancient God Train; no powerhouse at the demigod level can break through the train's defense."

"As a joining benefit, members of the God-Chosen Pioneer Team can own a soft sleeper carriage for free."

"Choosing this place also has a corresponding price: due to the intense taboo strange charm on the Ancient God Train, it has an attraction to a large number of taboo strange things in the forbidden land, and the Ancient God Train itself will also bear the responsibility of 【Luring Taboo Strange Things】; personnel living on the train will be subject to a certain degree of harassment."

"Those with insufficient strength will face the risk of sudden death every day."

When Li Yu finished reading this detailed introduction, he felt that his horizons had been broadened.

Before this, he originally thought he knew Wanfu City very well.

Unexpectedly, there was this thing?

A terrifying train transformed from an "Ancient God corpse" traveling through the three forbidden lands day and night...

Just thinking about that scene in his heart, Li Yu felt it was enjoyable; it could be considered a spectacle.

Of course, if one were to live in it, one would have to weigh the risk-to-reward ratio.

"If I choose the 【Ancient God Train】 as my residence, I should no longer have to worry about being assassinated by the Sacred Nest; they couldn't possibly go to great lengths to send at least one demigod, as well as a large number of mechanical troops, just to kill me; they don't have the strength to break through the Ancient God Train."

"But once the Sacred Nest does this, it will completely offend the City Lord's Mansion and will usher in a massive retaliation; the Sacred Nest will absolutely not do such a thing."

"But the danger of the Ancient God Train itself cannot be ignored; once on the train, it is very likely that one will have to face the daily routine of being harassed and hunted by 'taboo strange things'."

"Safety is not as good as in the city, but correspondingly, there will also be benefits that cannot be obtained in the city."

With this thought, Li Yu thought of the skinned taboo strange thing, as well as his next sequence.

Spirit Venerable Path Sequence Six: 【Dao Doctor】.

The key to the secret medicine formula is high-concentration divine pollutants.

Where are there the most of these things?

Undoubtedly, the three forbidden lands.

He also understood long ago: no matter where he is, even in the seemingly peaceful three major kingdoms, he will still encounter many dangers.

Blindly avoiding is meaningless; constantly strengthening oneself is the right path.

Of course, there was another secret reason:

"I am still carrying the 【Small Tiangong Nuclear Bomb】 and the 【Sacred Nest AI's original code】; I am still an undercover agent for the Tiangong Sect, waiting for the Tiangong Sect to send powerhouses to pick me up."

"If I stay in the city all the time, it will ultimately be inconvenient for subsequent contact."

"Outside the city, it will be different."

When these thoughts fell, Li Yu silently put the Ancient God Train into the backup, and then looked at other residences.

Because there were strong contrasts, he didn't even look at options like "high-end apartments on City Lord Street" or "lifetime boxes in the Xiaohun Society."

Like the other eight, his gaze followed some special residences.

Very quickly, he picked one:

"Mobile Castle of Unknown Origin!"

"A few years ago, the City Lord's Mansion's second pioneer team accidentally found a strange mechanical castle in the terrifying river valley."

"The castle is not large, purely piled up from various mechanical scraps, but it possesses flight capabilities and is also loaded with some weapons, and its defense is also quite decent."

"It has been clearly determined that it is not a Tiangong Sect product; the senior mechanical engineers of the Tiangong Machinery Factory No. 1 believe: even apprentices of the Tiangong Sect could not build such inferior mechanical parts, and it has no aesthetic sense at all."

"However, the factory engineers also admitted that although this mobile castle is broken, according to the principles, it is impossible to operate. But inside, there is a very special 【Mechanical Life】 suspected to be hidden, making that broken mechanical castle realize self-operation."

"According to Qi breath detection, the castle is likely to have drifted from somewhere in the spirit realm into the real world, finally severely damaged, spiritual energy exhausted, and was accommodated by us."

"The Tiangong Sect is indeed the most outstanding mechanical sect, but gods or sects possessing mechanical Dao obviously do not only have Tiangong."

When reading to this point, Li Yu subconsciously glanced at the scene in the light curtain again.

As described, it was indeed a very broken mechanical castle.

It seemed to be pieced together from mechanical airships, rusted pipes, steam engines, watchtowers, steel fortresses, gun barrels... and so on.

In Li Yu's view, it was unexpectedly harmonious.

Especially the rusty circular fortress placed as a room at the very front, with two oval windows, looking like two eyes, making this mobile castle become vivid.

Of course, what really made Li Yu take a fancy to it was the following description:

"After capturing this 【Mobile Castle】, we originally wanted to store it in the treasure house."

"Who would have thought that the mechanical life inside seemed very resistant to entering Wanfu City; when forcibly dragged, the mechanical life chose to threaten with self-detonation."

"Finally, an agreement was reached; the castle belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, obeys deployment, and will serve as a supporting satellite aircraft for the 【Ancient God Train】 in the future, while also working part-time as a lookout."

"Because both the castle and the mechanical life are severely damaged and cannot be repaired, the comfort and safety of this residence cannot be compared with the Ancient God Train."

"The only benefit, perhaps, is that it is a bit freer."

"But after the God-Chosen lives in it, they still have to accept deployment regularly and cannot disappear for too long."

After these descriptions entered Li Yu's eyes.

Immediately, he was full of heart-moving.

It was not because it was freer and more convenient to run away.

But a kind of inexplicable, somewhat strange premonition that suddenly rose in his heart.

"This castle, and that mechanical life."

"For me, for Hongdou, it will be of great use."

This kind of whim, if it were on someone else, would likely be an illusion. But Li Yu possesses "high inspiration" that other practitioners simply cannot compare with; his omens usually turn into reality.

However, he still did not make a choice rashly.

Instead, he looked up at Xu Baixi and made a request:

"Senior Stage Magician, can we go and experience these residences first?"

"If it's not suitable, then change."

"Of course!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Baixi gave Li Yu a positive answer.

Moreover, he gave it with a smile.

Li Yu had seen the Stage Magician's appearance when facing Zhan Kui and others of the ninth pioneer team; it was clearly not arrogant, but it was indeed the difference between a big shot and a small employee.

But toward Li Yu, he was again such a warm attitude.

Li Yu did not feel honored or happy about this at all.

=9+Book_Bar

"All signs indicate!"

"The City Lord's Mansion is also not a good organization or force."

"The attitude is so good, obviously it will be even more ruthless when used in the future."

"It seems that the event where the City Lord's Mansion had several pioneer teams explore the depths of the forbidden land together and ended up being wiped out was very serious... so the City Lord's Mansion would pin the hope of continuing to pioneer on a group of God-Chosen."

"As long as our first God-Chosen pioneer team goes smoothly, the selection for the second one will immediately be put on the agenda."

"Wanfu City, really intends to open up a transcendent kingdom?"

With Li Yu's thoughts, he couldn't help but envision a special country that existed with a large number of Evil Gods and evil cultivators, and whose territory map included the three forbidden lands.

Tsk tsk!

If Wanfu Nation really succeeds in founding a nation, the three kingdoms and six sects will probably all go crazy.

War will be inevitable.

Thinking to this point, Li Yu's heart tightened, and he stopped thinking about it.

It just so happened that at this moment, the other "God-Chosen" also had their own choices.

As Li Yu envisioned, without exception, all chose to be outside Wanfu City.

The reason was very simple, because the city gave high-end apartments and clubs, which ordinary practitioners might love very much.

But for these God-Chosen who are very capable of causing trouble and each have quite a few secrets, those residences are too ordinary.

Places outside the city like the Ancient God Train, mobile castles, Evil God camps, spiritual energy warships, etc., are more suitable.

The most popular place was really the Ancient God Train.

All nine people almost put the train into the backup.

And "small aircraft" like the mobile castle were only chosen by Li Yu.

When experiencing outside the city, Li Yu proposed to bring his mechanical maid.

Hongdou was still playing a puppet wearing a high-end bionic skin but with very low intelligence.

Although there were powerhouses like Xu Baixi in the field!

And God-Chosen geniuses like Liu Tu, Gongsun Qi, Xu Xuan, and Yang Huan.

But not a single person could see through Hongdou's disguise.

Her intelligence breath seemed to be able to be broken into pieces and perfectly integrated into that old-style mechanical body.

Outside Wanfu City, Li Yu and the other God-Chosen first followed Xu Baixi to experience the 【Ancient God Train】.

Sure enough, it was even more enjoyable than imagined.

It was only a "trial run" for dozens of breaths!

When everyone was on a giant train transformed from an Ancient God corpse, and at a terrifying speed, speeding on the Wan-Gui Frozen Plain, which was covered by ice and snow, darkness, and infinite unknowns, and whose territory seemed boundless.

Even Li Yu, who had already experienced the conquest of the mystic domain, was shocked by it.

The impulse to stay on the train arose immediately.

And before he made a decision, the other eight made a decision almost at the same time; they chose the Ancient God Train as their new residence.

It is conceivable!

Ten days later, when this Ancient God Train officially begins to operate, what a huge sensation it will cause.

One must know that the docking points of this train are not just the three forbidden lands.

Wanfu City is also a docking point.

This train will travel between the three forbidden lands and Wanfu City day and night, constantly going deep into the forbidden lands, opening up one new station after another; every additional station means that the territory that the City Lord's Mansion can rule has grown by another piece.

Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion has already named this train: Pioneer.

Its meaning is already undisguised.

"Pioneering territory!"

"Wanfu City, really wants to found a nation?"
