Chapter 1308: Chapter 1307: Eternal City

Yusuf Zuck, inhabiting Gael Berger’s body, cannot consume the treasures of heaven and earth. To cultivate, he can only extract the Divine Power from the host, which is Gael Berger’s body.

But there is hardly any Divine Power to extract from Gael Berger, so he can only continuously solidify his own Cultivation Level.

It seemed like another twenty years had passed in no time, and finally, there was some disturbance on the divine ship. Yusuf Zuck also heard the cheers when he opened his eyes and saw everyone leaning on the deck looking outside.

He also got up and took a look outside, and what he saw was an endless cityscape.

Indeed, cities. The ground was orderly, with gigantic cities and majestic buildings stretching endlessly along the horizon.

This was the central region, legendary for its abundance of cities; cities nestled close to one another, densely packed, and this region also had the highest population in the Heavenly Realm.

The divine ship skimmed across the sky above city after city. Many people were used to it, while many others looked up to the sky.

After about three days of flight, Yusuf Zuck only saw vast and magnificent cities.

The cities here were so large; the divine ship flew for three days, so how many cities were there in the central region? And how big were they?

Three days later, the divine ship changed course and slipped between two cities. One was the City of Rules, inhabited by the Goodman Family, and the other was the Agrarian City, inhabited by the Nash Family.

The reason for detouring and changing course was that the Eight Great Guardian Cities of the central region didn’t allow divine ships to fly overhead; flying over the cities would lead to being shot down, and no one dared provoke this rule.

A day later, the divine ship finally reached its destination, the Eternal City.

The Eternal City was too vast to see its borders. Legend had it that even on a divine ship, it would take three days to travel from North City to South City.

The city was enormous, leaving those unaccustomed to such sights, including Yusuf Zuck, utterly speechless. The buildings in the city were also gigantic; an ordinary residence was taller than a six-story building, some businesses, hotels, and inns even nearly reaching the heights of skyscrapers.

In the Eternal City, no one was allowed to fly, even the Supreme Dignitaries. Everyone had to enter through the city gates and rely on walking or riding carts pulled by Celestial Beasts within the city.

No one could break this rule because the Eternal City wasn’t built by The Eight Great Families. The Eternal City and its Big Array existed before the emergence of The Eight Great Families, so even Dignitaries who challenged the rules of the Eternal City would be punished.

There was a rumor of a Dignitary long ago who did not believe in this, convinced he could fly anywhere because he was a Dignitary. He acted arrogantly in the Eternal City, flying over a hundred zhang (approximately 300 meters) high before... meeting a tragic end. The rumors didn’t mention thunder striking him; instead, the Protection City Array drew underground energy and trapped him, then that energy violently tore him apart.

A generation of Dignitary, dead beyond revival!

The land of the Heavenly Realm has always been mysterious, with no one able to penetrate the ground with their Divine Sense to see what lies beneath, even those with earth-related Divine Skills could not traverse the underground.

In theory, in the Immortal Realm, many Immortal Emperors could break through the earth with the Divine Walking Technique, moving and fighting underground.

However, in the Heavenly Realm, no one could achieve this. The land of the Heavenly Realm rejects everything, so the land of the Heavenly Realm is also mysterious. Countless people have been studying the land of the Heavenly Realm, but they still haven’t figured out what exactly is going on.

It is said that after the person who challenged the rules of Eternal City died, no one dared to go mad again, including the Clan Leaders of The Eight Great Families, who could only follow the rules of Eternal City.

The reason it’s called Eternal City is that this city has existed for a very long time, even before The Eight Great Families, and even history can’t trace the specific time of the city’s construction; it is said that ancient giants have lived in this city.

The divine ship landed in the docking area of the North City Gate. Yusuf Zuck saw in the docking area that this place was even more massive than a super airport, with at least a thousand Giant Divine Ships either docked or moving in and out.

Outside the docking area, there were various luxurious carriages, giant elephant carts, fiery tiger carts, running bull carts, etc. These were Celestial Beasts that were trained or had restrictions placed on them, then fitted with saddles and attached to frames to serve as vehicles. Many people in the city relied on these to dart around; these replaced walking and were even faster - it was said that all kinds of facilities were available on these vehicles.

These vehicles mostly belonged to various sects, lively events, or Clans, and some belonged to businesses, which then rented them out. Divine beings collected rent and made money hauling goods, not unlike taxis in the Mortal World.

Yusuf Zuck took a fiery tiger cart, and the cost to the city gate was a hundred Spirit Stones, with the charge within the city calculated by time - ten thousand Spirit Stones per incense stick time. If one wanted to hire the cart privately, it was possible to negotiate a lower price!

Eternal City is the largest city within this realm, so naturally, the cost of living here is very high, and the standard of living is also high.

Yusuf Zuck did not negotiate the price, and after getting on the cart, he lifted the curtain to look outside.

The fiery tiger is a Celestial Beast, with a large body of about seven or eight meters in length, marked with a flame-like totem on the forehead, resembling a tiger from the secular world. However, this fiery tiger’s body contained overwhelming flames, powerful enough to instantly defeat a Lower Heavenly God.

Regrettably, divine beings are the strongest, and having tamed it, it became a "horse" tasked with serving humanity as a footman.

Soon, the fiery tiger cart arrived at the North City Gate, which was so vast that one could lose sense of direction. The city gate itself was at least a hundred zhang in diameter, wide enough for about a thousand people to walk side by side.

However, there were checkpoints at the city gate, similar to highways in the secular world, with entries on the right and exits on the left, totaling more than twenty ramps.

Moreover, those entering the city needed to undergo inspection and registration. Yet Eternal City had no City Lord, as no one was worthy of being the Lord of Eternal City, so the registration was managed by the Eight Great Families, each responsible for one of the eight regions within the city, maintaining public security and environmental sanitation, among others; after all, the daily waste produced within such a large city with a vast population needed to be managed and order maintained, or else the city would fall into chaos.

Of course, The Eight Great Families were not providing their services for free, as there was a fee to enter the city - ten thousand Spirit Stones per person, which was very expensive.

After Yusuf Zuck paid ten thousand Spirit Stones, someone gave him a book of Instructions for Entering the City, containing numerous prohibitions and many rules that must be observed.

Of course, these rules were mostly aimed at outsiders, while the body Yusuf Zuck possessed, Gael Berger, was a member of the Berger family, who even owned a private residence in Eternal City.

Dismissing the guidebook after a glance, he immediately ordered the coachman to head to the Appraisal Pavilion, as he intended to register for an auction.

After registering, he still needed to leave the city, exiting from South City, heading to the city of Guard City, which was not within the boundaries governed by the Berger family, his clan’s headquarters, to report to the External Affairs Hall, detailing the inspection process, reporting the cause of others’ deaths, and also to undergo inquiry from his Clan!
