Chapter 548 - 212: So You’re the Dragon Palace? Die

A city! A giant city! A Floating City!

Taller than a mountain and larger than an island, a boundless structure appeared before Shen Fei. Its peak soared into the clouds while its base plunged deep into the ocean. The colossal building was tiered with countless layers, each holding all sorts of different structures and districts.

Shen Fei had teleported directly to the center of this special region in the Pacific Ocean with Number 0 and Li Xiaohong in tow. He gaped in astonishment, staring at the behemoth that blotted out the sun and filled his entire field of vision. Beside him, Number 0 and Xiaohong were in the same state of shock. The three of them had anticipated that the center of the Pacific Ocean would be a special region, but even so, they had never imagined it would be like this. An incomparably massive structure had appeared before their eyes—one submerged in the water yet also floating in mid-air, a colossal edifice connecting heaven and earth.

This has even more components than my Floating City? My Floating City can, at most, grow larger and float in the air! But this structure not only has parts floating in the sky but also parts that delve deep into the sea... and it’s divided into so many layers?

Gazing at the massive structure before him, formed by countless concentric disks stacked layer upon layer, a series of speculations surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind.

He had come here to investigate the so-called Sea Race and, by extension, uncover the ultimate goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses. Previously, when he tried interrogating them directly, either his voice would be blocked, or his subject’s head would instantly explode. After testing this on countless Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses, Shen Fei realized such methods were useless. Thus, he finally set his sights on the Sea Race, the faction that occupied the center of the Pacific’s special region and maintained a three-way power dynamic with the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses.

Shen Fei knew the Sea Race had to be strong, given their mysterious origins and ability to stand against the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses. However, he had never imagined that this powerful race would have constructed such a colossal building in the center of their territory.

Although he was observing from a hidden corner hundreds of kilometers away, Shen Fei could sense that each floor of the massive structure spanned at least several hundred thousand square kilometers. A single floor’s living area was larger than the current Qing City, which contained nine large Neutral Cities. The colossal structure had at least several hundred such layers. Furthermore, on a few of the largest disk-shaped layers in the middle, Shen Fei could vaguely see entire Neutral Cities sitting upon them.

On the vast, empty sea in the center of the Pacific Ocean, an area of unknown size, there was nothing else. There was only this single, colossal structure whose boundaries, population, and true size were all unknown. The sight left Shen Fei and the other two utterly stunned.

After they observed in silence for a while, Li Xiaohong finally asked in a low voice, "Brother Fei? Should we go over?"

They were still several hundred kilometers away from the structure. To avoid tipping their hand, Shen Fei had chosen a Teleportation point that wasn’t at the absolute center. Yet even from this distance, the massive building filled their entire field of vision. Once the shock in her heart had subsided a bit, Li Xiaohong voiced the question on her mind.

Meanwhile, Number 0, having recovered, stated his opinion. "No game has a structure like this! This building wasn’t inherited from a game!"

Although his butt was still stinging like crazy, Number 0’s superb memory allowed him to quickly determine that the colossal structure ahead—presumably under the Command of the Sea Race—was not from any game. Various games featured all sorts of unique architecture, but nothing like this had ever existed. At least, not in any game made by the humans of Blue Star before the apocalypse.

"How interesting," Shen Fei muttered, having composed himself. He heard Xiaohong and Number 0 but didn’t rush to a conclusion, pursing his lips instead.

A colossal structure that existed neither on Blue Star nor in any of its games had appeared in the largest and most unique area: the center of the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, its inhabitants, the Sea Race, were just as unique as their home. Setting all else aside, their ability to resist the overwhelming Combat Power of the NPCs and Super Bosses, occupy this central "treasure land," and form a three-way power dynamic was proof enough of their own strength. Now, it turned out the place they lived was so ostentatious, so abnormal at a single glance. More importantly, this special Sea Race also possessed a special super item with Uniqueness—Red Heart A.

All these factors, converging in one place, made Shen Fei instinctively feel that he had finally found the right place. Even if he couldn’t uncover the ultimate goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses here, as long as he paid close attention, the information he could gather would be enough to reveal many secrets.

This place... there’s something to it!
