Sky City had always been a quiet place. Whether the gods existed or not.
The gods were silent by nature. Those that were like the Dragon God were in the minority.
“After the fall of the God Race, many areas in Sky City lost their divine power and became very
vulnerable.” Shen Siyu looked at the familiar Sky City with a hint of helplessness.
This city didn’t look very big, but every structure took art and craft to the extreme.
“The gods live in an area that needs the support of divine power. Once a god falls, the place where
they lived will become very unstable. Now, in the whole Sky City, there is only one complete palace, which is the last temple. Other places simply preserved their external beauty.” Shen Siyu’s eyes
swept through the trees and grasses in the Sky City and the golden flowers on both sides of the white stone road. They swayed gently in the wind as though ignoring the passage of time.
Shen Yanxiao quietly followed by Xiu’s side and walked into this gods’ territory. On both sides of the white path, exquisite buildings stood in silence and peace.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the various buildings, as if she could feel them waiting quietly for the return
of the gods all these years. However, after ten thousand years, they were the first to enter the Sky City. Even though they were unable to make any noise under such a silent atmosphere, they admired the city that had been
peaceful and calm for ten thousand years. One of the continents led directly to the largest palace in the Sky City, and Xiu took Shen Yanxiao
and the others step by step towards that sacred palace.
Standing in front of the last temple, everyone stopped. They looked at the temple gate nearby, but
their expressions were very strange.
“How are we going to get there…” Tang Nazhi pointed convulsively at the unusually tough palace in

front of them. It seemed to be only a few steps away from them, but as they walked towards it, they
realized that this was an unreachable journey. They walked for a long time but did not get any
closer.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. From the Shenyin Terrace to where they currently were, they had walked for half an hour already. The Sky City did not seem too big. According to the visual distance,
they only needed a little over ten minutes to reach the end. However, half an hour had already passed and the road before them did not even shrink a bit. The long road indeed seemed endless.
She turned and looked behind her, but was surprised to find that they were still standing at the
start of the road, as if the half-hour walk were only an illusion.
It was as if they hadn’t made it into the Sky City…
“What is going on?” Shen Yanxiao raised her head and looked at Xiu.
Xiu calmly answered, “The Sky City is far from what you see in front of you. This road is very long,
longer than you think. If you compare the Sky City to the mainland you are familiar with, even if you
add up the Radiance Continent, the Moon God Continent, the Storm Continent, and the Hidden Dragon Continent, in reality, it would not be as large as the Sky City. What you see is only the
illusion that the Lord God has cast on the Sky City. He has made the Sky City appear small; places
seem very close, but are actually very far away.”
“The distances within Sky City cannot be discerned by the naked eye. The area where each superior god lives is much larger than you can see. The road we are now taking is called the concealing path, which is the main passage leading to each god’s residence. Its true length is enough to cross from
the northern to the southern end of the Radiance Continent.”
