Chapter 2815: A Bright Future
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the entire operation, nine hunting teams had been deployed. A lot of soldiers had been lurking in the outer cabin of Eternal Brightness, and several warships of the God Bless were lurking behind the other planets inside the well.
And the core of all this was the yaksha squad.
Therefore, as the information transmission center of the yaksha squad, Li Yao was also carrying a piece of powerful communication magical equipment on his back, which had a few long antennas that could receive and transmit astronomical information every second.
The structure of the starship city, the distribution of every complicated tube, the movements of the nine teams, the coordinates of the soldiers lurking in the periphery, and so on. All the information was analyzed and processed by Li Yao before it was transmitted to the crystal processors of the four core
members of the yaksha squad.
Ten minutes later, the nine teams finished their disguises and infiltrated the starship city through the secret channels.
The starship city on Eternal Brightness was named ‘Glorious City’. It was a circular city about five kilometers in diameter with skyscrapers everywhere. The tallest skyscrapers were almost interconnected from the two sides, like colorful bridges that cut through the sky.
The artificial gravity generated by the continuous revolutions attracted people to the curved ground. The gravity here was slightly lighter than that of the earth-like planets, making the residents of the place fair and fat, as plump and fragile as peaches. With a leap, they would be able to stop in midair
easily. Therefore, a lot of new ways of moving were born, such as jumping from the ground to the sky and back to the ground from the other side of the sky with the help of the jet propulsion while wearing a loose suit.
As a symbol of the City of Light, it was also the greatest pride and symbol for the residents of the city. It was the amusement park in the center of the city that never stopped operating.
The ever-revolving Nightless City could be said to be the epitome of human beings’ imagination of ‘happiness’. It was truly an eternal paradise.
The yaksha squad appeared from the basement of a skyscraper that was being fully maintained. Chu Zhixiao and Yun Haixin had put on the unique clothes that were made of gauze and silk and looked like kids playing house.
The shells of Li Yao and Guan Qixing were painted with dazzling rainbow patterns, too, making them look like two big toys.
Before they reached the center of the city, they were already assaulted by an intoxicating aroma.
The fragrance was somewhat hypnotizing and hallucinogenic. It could make people feel happy and happy. They could not help but giggle.
It was true that the world of the asura, which had been filled with smoke and killing intent, was now a peaceful and peaceful city of brightness. For the people who had been soaked in blood all the time and whose bodies and souls had been savaged, it was like a different world.
Chu Zhixiao and Yun Haixin looked at each other and gestured at Guan Qixing and Li Yao before they walked out of the building, somewhat alarmed.
At this moment, the enclosed carrier carrying Yuan Kou slowly drove out of the parking lot below the building.
In front of them was an ocean of joy.
Today seemed to be some sort of festival in Bright City. It seemed to be called “Rainbow Carnival’. There was no telling what it was about, but the residents of Bright City would hold similar celebrations every few days.
Some of them were celebrating the 300th anniversary of their rebirth, some were celebrating the 250th anniversary of the same-sex marriage legislation, some were celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the “third gender’, some were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the “Pet Inheritance
Act”, and so on.
Or maybe, it was because the resources produced by the ‘recycling machine’ were too many and he was merely spending them for fun.
Allin all, the 3D light beams embedded in the walls all around created a lollipop-like sun, a rainbow made of cotton candy-like clouds and rainbow candies. The dazzling fireworks in the sky exploded in laughter one after another. The facades of the skyscrapers turned into giant light beams, too, showing
the jubilation of the citizens. Everybody in the city crowded into the streets and threw flowers, candies, cakes, and delicious food at each other. They painted each other into colorful cats and giggled.
For a moment, Li Yao felt a great… cultural impact.
He had never been so shocked when he was faced with the star child from the Imperium of True Human Beings, the resurrected Pangu Clan, or Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi.
Growing up in an environment where resources were extremely scarce, he never knew what ‘extremely abundant resources’ meant.
It should be known that in both the federation and the imperium, even if one had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Divinity Transformation Stage, regardless of whether one was a ‘good person’ or a ‘bad person’, they would cherish every bit of resources. Even if a grain of rice fell on the
table, they would stick it to their fingers and eat it—this was the lifestyle of many experts.
Although not everyone was like this, Li Yao had never seen such a scene in his life where an entire city of people were squandering and wasting without caring about the cake and food on the ground.
If he had a heart, it would’ve been twisted into a ball right now.
Li Yao’s soul was tightening like a rope while he observed everything around him.
He discovered that, by the standard of the residents of the planet, the residents of Bright City were all too fat. The men and the women, young and old, were almost all red balls in different sizes. Not just their bones, even their muscles were barely distinguishable, as if there was a pool of clear water below
their smooth skin.
Although it was true that living inside a starship for a long time in an artificial gravity environment would lead to bone loss and other problems, the residents of the Flying Star Sector, who were also part of the ‘starship civilization’, did not look as prosperous and satisfactory. The residents of the Flying
Star Sector were even slimmer and looked like light tadpoles.
It seemed that he had eaten too well and worried too little.
Chu Zhixiao and Yun Haixin could pretend to be residents of the City of Light with their ‘biochemical muscles’, or they could put on clothes that were as colorful and childish as theirs, but it was difficult to imitate their expressions and temperament.
How could one describe their spirit?
On the bright side, the residents of this place all had ‘unbullied faces’. They were all carefree and never thought that there were any disasters, suffering, or darkness in the world. They were all innocent and had no wariness at all.
In the worst-case scenario, they were heartless and had no ability to protect themselves or survive at all. They were all lambs waiting to be slaughtered, flowers nurtured in sterile cells.
Chu Zhixiao and Yun Haixin were apparently not used to the environment and the appearance of the people here, either. Despite their fat heads and big ears, wariness and cruel fighting will were still shining deep inside their eyes.
At this moment, several local residents, carrying balloons and delicious food, bounced over.
“Hey, happy Rainbow Festival!”
One of the residents suddenly threw a cake painted in rainbow colors at Chu Zhixiao.
With Chu Zhixiao’s Cultivation, it was not difficult for her to dodge the cake. However, she was not sure whether or not she would expose herself by doing so. Therefore, she could only allow the cake to smash her face. She blinked in confusion amid the flowing cream.
“Hahahaha!”
The few locals burst into laughter and grimaced. “Come on. Cheer up and fight!”
Then, they jumped up and opened their arms. Two streams of air spurted out of their boots and floated into the sky like a few giant balloons. They flew toward the glamorous amusement park while waving at Chu Zhixiao and the rest of the Cultivators, as if they were challenging them.
It seemed to be the definition of ‘battle’ in the eyes of the local residents.
“What a… terrifying place.”
The mental devil said to Li Yao in a low voice, “The residents here are very friendly, but they are also childish and empty. They seem to have nothing to do because of the abundant resources. In order to avoid the emptiness, they came up with all kinds of celebrations to pass the time. However, the
dullness after the celebrations made them sink into a vicious cycle of emptiness. For hundreds of years, they failed to make any progress in technology and exploration.
“But then again, they are birds in a cage. There is no room for exploration or improvement. What else can they do except sing and smile?
“L.. ama little scared of this place.”
Looking at the locals who were dancing and dancing in midair, Li Yao mumbled, “No. I’m not scared of this place so much as I’m scared of the future where the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Sanctuary Alliance are united and there is no threat from the outside. The technology
has improved a lot, but it is still not enough to break out of the black wall.
“In the current civilization of mankind, both the federation and the imperium, although there are all kinds of serious problems and even fatal threats, it is precisely because of these problems and threats that all our courage and wisdom can be stimulated, and only then can we be forced to show the
brightest and most beautiful side of human nature and mold us into… stronger and stronger human beings.
“However, if our endeavors succeed one day, and the contradiction between the Star Glory Federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance is shattered, all the human beings in the Pangu Universe will be united into an inseparable whole. There will be no more wars, no more oppression, and no more
threats from the outside. The advanced technology will also provide everyone with the most basic happiness. By then, will my fellow human beings be as carefree and naive as the residents of the City of Light? Will they be dwelling in the small, certain happiness that is right in front of their eyes?
