The Geared Immortal

Chapter 987

(Unedited)

…

The devastation of the battle left the capital city in ruins. Many houses and buildings in the capital were turned into rubbles and civilian casualties are a bit high. The noble houses at this time are already surrounded by the combined army from the cities outside.

And everyone discovered that the king they thought to have died is actually alive and is currently dealing with the cleanup of the remaining rebel forces in the city.

Atop a flying airship, the king is donning his battle armor. Since he is not going to fight against his own children, then he has no scruple to enter the battlefield.

At this time, the noble houses tried to fight back but they were still overwhelmed by the forces flying above them.

The Hong noble house which is the biggest and supposed to be the strongest noble powerhouse in the kingdom fell with the combined might of a few Grand Magus.

Shin Jiao listens as Xiamen Gong tells him the story of what had happened a week ago since he lost his consciousness.

According to them, he has been unconscious for almost 7 days. 

He was a bit amazed at the time period which took him to refine the dark essence in his body. However, in his consciousness, it just took him a while after he defeated that shadow, and his consciousness returning.

After listening to the reports, Shin Jiao dismissed his people as he stood up and walks to the terrace. Looking outside, he could see the new palace being built and the bustling people of the capital city.

"I think it's time for us to see the exit of this plane…" he said.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Xiamen Gong, Hua Xiao, and the rest of the people coming from the immortal land turned excited.

Thought they already got the gist of the situation that only those that were born from this world can exit this place. But still, they could not help but hope that what Shin Jiao told them is not true.

"We will set out tomorrow, for now, all of you should prepare." He said as he turns around and left the meeting room.

Before going to the exit portal of this plane, he has to check the reform of the world in his dimension.

Shin Jiao stayed inside his room for a while and after sitting in the lotus position, he immediately closed his eyes. He sinks his consciousness into this dimension and began to combine the dark essence with the small world.

The vibrant life in the small world is now evident and he could feel the living creatures in that world. As someone who controlled the small world, Shin Jiao could tell what is happening all over it. As he looks at the world, he noticed that there is truly no darkness present on the small planet.

Although color has finally appeared because of the life essence that Maga Luan gave him, the world is still not complete. And so he began to combine the huge amount of power from the dark essence in the small world affecting its ecology as a whole.

As the dark essence began to spread, Shin Jiao controlled it to inhabit half of the planet, just like that in every other planet in the universe that has only one star in its solar system.

It took him a while, but soon the darkness has already spread and the dark part of the planet suddenly began to panic. He could sense the uneasiness of the creatures in that part of the land. A slight smile crept on Shin Jiao's face upon seeing the reaction of the creatures in that place.

Now in the area where light could not enter, instead the dead colorless gray, it will now turn into black. The dark essence envelops and would always conquer a vast space just like light. Hence the balance in the small world became evident.

Shin Jiao began to see huge changes began to show in the small world. He could even see that the law of time is beginning to be more pronounced in his dimension with the presence of darkness.

What is time? According to what Shin Jiao knows, time is change or the interval over which change occurs. Before, since everything is either with color or gray, the essence of time could only be felt with change. Yet that change is not obvious due to the lack of variations in the environment.

But now with the presence of darkness, the creatures in the small world can now perceive time.

As Shin Jiao continue observing, he felt elated and he could see a huge potential for the small world to be his own paradise his own world where he could rule over and guide.

After reforming the small world, Shin Jiao began to arrange his creations and the things he crafted in one of the small islands.

Satisfied at what he sees, Shin Jiao's consciousness left the dimension and opens his eyes.

He could see that it was already daybreak when he wakes up.

"Hmm… It only took me the whole night to reform the small world… That's not bad…" he muttered as he left his bed and walks to the bathroom.

Shin Jiao cleaned himself up and then donned in a simple gray robe and tied his long hair in a ponytail.

"Hmm… I need to get a haircut soon." He muttered as he is not used to having long hair.

When Shin Jiao walks out of his room he could already sense a few figures waiting for him in the lobby of the building.

Xiamen Gong, Hua Xiao, Vilma Song, Nariz Gumal, Axle Long, and Ansen Wine, are the people waiting for him in the lobby. He saw that they are all bringing with them large bags.

"Hmm… Why did you bring a lot of stuff?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"Well, we don't know what would happen out there, so we just wanted to be prepared." Vilma Song replied.

"I… I already told you that we are only checking that place, right?" Shin Jiao wanted to explain but he stopped as he could see the resolution in the eyes of the people in front of him.

Shaking his head, he waves his hand and quickly absorbed the large bags they are carrying.

"I will give this to you guys later…" Shin Jiao said while shaking his head.

"Aww, right! I forgot that you can still use your own dimension space in this place." Suddenly Nariz Gumal said with realization in her eyes.

"Can you also take some of the blueprints in the laboratory? I have a lot but could not fit my suitcase, so I only took those that I deemed important." She said with a smile.

"Yeah, me too! Shin, help me get some of my stuff too…"

"That's right… I also wanted to bring some."

The others began to realize about Shin Jiao's space and then requested.

"Hold up! I told you guys that we are just going there to check the place. I just wanted to show you that I am not lying about the exit, okay? We might even close it as I have a premonition that it is a very dangerous place for both worlds…" Shin Jiao said as he turns around and began walking out of the lobby.

The rest followed behind him.

Before he could walk out, four figures appear in front of him, Im Ao, Im Jae, their father, and Zixu Alreed.

"Are you guys leaving already?" Im Jae asked with a hint of sadness in her tone.

"Sigh… this is not goodbye yet, okay? You guys are far too dramatic." Shin Jiao said with a frown.

"Big brother Shin, do not walk closer to the strange cave… It will suck you inside and then you will be thrown in a strange and dangerous forest." Im Ao said in his childish tone.

Shin Jiao nodded his head and patted the head of the little boy.

"I know… you guys should stay here, we will come back soon…" Shin Jiao said as he left along with the group who acted as they would really leave already.

Shin Jiao could not help but shake his head at this scene. No matter how many times he told them that they could not exist in that place, they would not believe him. So he could only walk ahead of the group.

Shin Jiao and his group have taken a troops carrier and Shin Jiao sits on the pilot seat while Nariz Gumal sits on the co-pilot seat.

"Alright, guys were leaving!" Shin Jiao said as he activated the flying ship.

"Tower control, this is ship xxxxx, leaving hangar 2."

'Ship xxxxx you are clear to launch…'

"Roger that tower control…"

Shin Jiao said as he carefully controls the aircraft to hover in the air.

As the aircraft left the hangar, the hearts of the people inside are feeling elated and a bit excited.. They could not believe that they are finally able to see the chance to go back to the immortal land.
