"The werewolf has now defeated the Holy Dragonman of Holy Dragon Island. Next, he will challenge the Sacred Dragon."
Nian Nian glanced back toward Beast King City. A powerful, oppressive aura came from that direction, followed by a weakening of the pressure. Then, two formidable forces clashed, shaking the entire Holy Dragon Island, making Nian Nian feel uneasy. "Is he really going to be okay?"
"He'll be fine."
Tang San also looked back, confirming the strength of the Holy Dragon, and reassured them with a confident look. "The Holy Dragon commands the power of all living beings, but Peter controls something beyond natural laws—vibration. Everything in the world moves, and by mastering vibration, he essentially controls the entire world."
"Living beings are no exception."
"Besides, Dak is with him, and that guy's no pushover…"
Meng Meng stretched lazily and said to Nian Nian, "Exactly, if Lord Tang San says there's nothing to worry about, then we shouldn't worry! After all, Tang San is the heir to the Great Creator God!"
Nian Nian nodded slightly. "You're right, the new Creator God won't make any mistakes."
"Don't say that, I'm not omniscient or omnipotent, and I'm not just the Creator God…" Tang San waved his hands dismissively. Blue Silver Emperor wings sprouted from his back, and two strands extended to wrap around the others. "Let's go. Sky City is our next destination before my final test. It's the home of the Eternal Angel."
Meng Meng's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Although I now follow Lord Tang San, I used to worship the Eternal Angel. I hope she's even more beautiful than Easton King and the Holy Dragon, living up to my expectations."
Sky City, located above the clouds of the Eternal Domain, was a mysterious place. No one knew its exact location, only the legend that said:
"In the distant heavens, there is a sea of clouds stretching for nearly a thousand miles. Upon these clouds lies a snow-white castle adorned with golden stars. That is the home of the Eternal Angel!"
"The beings living there all have bird-like wings, allowing them to soar freely through the skies. They are the most devoted followers of the Eternal Angel!"
"Every year, the Eternal Angel appears at the peak of the cloud sea, showering her people with rainbow-colored light, bringing them happiness and joy!"
"No one in the world can deny their faith!"
From this legend, Tang San knew that causing trouble in Sky City would be far more challenging than in Easton Forest or Holy Dragon Island.
After all—
In the Kingdom of Elves, King Easton spent most of his time sleeping, and his people's faith in him wasn't that strong.
In the Orc Kingdom, the Holy Dragon only showed his divine power when the orcs were wiping out the Dark Dragon clan, and the orcs valued strength more than faith.
As long as the werewolf could defeat the Holy Dragon, the orcs would no longer offer devout worship to the Holy Dragon. After all, a god who could be defeated by a non-dragon like a werewolf didn't deserve their devotion.
But in Sky City...
Though Tang San hadn't arrived yet, the information revealed by the legend showed that the Eternal Angel "manifests" once a year. The faith of the winged people in her must be incredibly devout.
In fact, it was possible that worshipping the Eternal Angel was the central focus of the winged people's lives.
Two and a half days later, Tang San, Meng Meng, and Nian Nian finally saw a sea of clouds in the sky, just as described in the legend—endless and vast.
When Tang San stepped onto the cloud sea, he realized that what lay beneath his feet wasn't actual clouds but a solid ground, though it was white. He picked up a handful and closely examined it, finding it to be very fine, like sand. However, it had a peculiar stickiness, causing the grains to attract each other. When gathered together, the ground felt much like standing on solid earth.
"It's said that everything in Sky City is made from star sand," Meng Meng exclaimed, holding up a handful of the substance. "This sand is also known as the foundation of the stars. Just a little can make plants grow incredibly lush, but too much will suppress growth and even kill them."
"Too much of anything is harmful," Tang San casually let the sand fall from his hand, gazing at the magnificent city ahead as he started walking. "Compared to the Elves' and Orcs' realms, this place is far more advanced."
The entire cloud sea held only one city: Sky City.
All the winged people lived there. The city spanned over 400 miles, while the rest of the cloud sea was home to creatures called cloud beasts, which the winged people kept.
These cloud beasts had one defining trait—their fur was as soft as clouds, fluttering gently with the slightest breeze.
It really was true.
Just by looking up, one could see round, fluffy "cotton balls" twirling in the air.
This was truly a dreamlike kingdom.
At the city gates, there were no guards. Tang San, along with Meng Meng and Nian Nian, simply walked right in. What greeted them was a wide avenue lined with spherical houses and winged people.
The winged people's appearance was almost identical to humans, but whether male or female, their faces were more refined. Their hair came in shades of red, gold, white, blue, and green—yet none had black hair.
The most striking feature, however, was the pair of wings on their backs. Unlike some mystical creatures whose wings could retract into their bodies, these were real, flesh-and-blood wings.
"Don't they sell food here?" Nian Nian scanned the shops lining the street, noticing stalls selling clothes, paintings, sculptures, and even tools like carving knives, brushes, and canvases, but not a single food vendor in sight.
"There's no food for sale anywhere," Meng Meng said, using her spiritual power to scan the nearby streets. She found that none of the households stored any food either.
"They don't need to eat as we understand it," Tang San explained with greater insight. In his eyes, he saw that each of these winged people had a unique transcendent core within their wings, allowing them to absorb light directly for their life functions—in other words, they could sustain themselves purely on light!
With such a gift, they didn't need to spend time preparing food like the elves or orcs. Instead, they had more time to pursue other interests.
For example: painting, sculpting, and fashion design.
This was somewhat different from Tang San's original expectations, but it was undeniable that the winged people's faith in the Eternal Angel was deeply devout.
One could tell just from their casual conversations:
"Oh, Great Eternal Angel, what a beautiful painting!"
"Eternal Angel above, I swear, this sculpture is truly a masterpiece!"
"Praise the Eternal Angel! Can this blank star sand canvas be a bit cheaper? How about three angel coins?"
Almost every sentence they spoke contained the words "Eternal Angel," often accompanied by adjectives like "great," "sacred," or "beautiful" for emphasis.
While the orcs also mentioned the "Holy Dragon" in casual speech, it was more of a habit, akin to a catchphrase. Here, however, the winged people genuinely held the Eternal Angel deep within their hearts.
