Led by the newly oiled and gleaming thirty-foot Commander Golem Unit #001, Pei Xuan and his inner circle walked through the towering silver double-doors at the rear of Hangar Deck 7 and entered the central command corridor of the Canglan Ark.
Unlike the battle-scarred outer flight deck, the interior command corridor was sealed behind triple-thick Star-Steel bulkheads. As Pei Xuan walked forward with the Supreme Admiral’s Override Badge pinned to his lapel, rows of dormant star-crystal sconces along the walls lit up one after another, casting a soft, dignified silver-blue glow across the floor.
Along both sides of the grand corridor hung giant mural reliefs carved into solid Star-Bronze, showing what Planet Canglan had looked like ten thousand years ago before the fall.
“Look at those carvings on the wall...” Nine-Tailed Fox Matriarch Su Meiniang whispered, stopping in front of the first sixty-foot mural.
In the carving, there were no barren Red-Sand Wastes, no frozen Northern Ice Wastes, and no stormy dividing barriers between the continents. Instead, lush forests of thousand-foot spirit trees covered the land, floating islands of white jade hovered above crystal rivers, and Humans, Demon-Folk, Sea-Tribes, and Giants stood side by side on the decks of silver star-ships sailing out toward the three moons in the sky!
