BUZZ! FLASH! DING-DONG!
On the 10,000th-floor orbital balcony of the Dry-Well Heaven-Pillar Tower, sixty thousand feet above the green plains of Planet Canglan, ten fifty-foot-tall neon array signboards lit up at the exact same time.
Built by fusing [All-Tongue Talking Market Signs] + [Star-Fortress Signal Beacons] + [Boom-Pot Sun’s Neon Fire-Dust], the glowing green letters were so bright they painted the pale face of Enforcer Xue Sha and the silver helmets of all 1,000 Heavenly Soldiers a vivid lettuce-green!
At the same time, a cheerful, bell-like female voice recorded by Nine-Tailed Fox Matriarch Su Meiniang boomed across the upper stratosphere in twelve different languages—including standard Upper-Realm Immortal Court Mandarin:
> “WELCOME TO PLANET CANGLAN — HOME OF DRY-WELL METROPOLIS!” > “ALL FOREIGN SPACESHIPS, FLYING BOATS, AND IMMORTAL SWORDS MUST STOP AT ORBITAL WINDOW #3 FOR CUSTOMS INSPECTION, FLEA & CURSE QUARANTINE WASH, AND VISITOR PARKING FEES!” > “WARNING: LITTERING, UNLICENSED PLANET-REFINING, AND DRIPPING BLOOD-QI ON PUBLIC GREENHOUSES CARRIES A MINIMUM FINE OF TEN MILLION SPIRIT STONES!”
On the prow of the three-mile-long Blood-Bone Galleon, the howling wind of the stratosphere seemed to die down into an awkward silence.
One thousand Rank 6 Golden Core Heavenly Soldiers blinked behind their silver visors.
