The Neutral Lands

Near the territories of the Dragons and the Gigantes is a large city located in the middle of three powerful races…

This city is called Heaven and Earth city. This is the city that has the power to regulate the whole area of heaven and earth opening field. And this is the same field where Shin Jiao has accidentally gone to before.

At this time, for the preparation of the heaven and earth opening, the whole city is bustling with activity and a grand and majestic view could be seen everywhere.

The city is composed of different races in their smaller forms. Some would transform into animals, some would choose humanoid creatures, and others would just regain their previous form but the smaller version of it.

This city is known to accommodate all of the races in the immortal land.

At this moment, inside the city's main hall, a few figures are currently discussing how they would proceed with the Heaven and Earth opening contest. With the threat from the invading demons and shadow beings, some of them feel that they should postpone the contest.

However, they have not received any instructions from the deities, so all they can do is proceed with vigilance.

"The holy barrier formation could not be set up in the city as it would interfere with the space arrays in the heaven and earth valley… So I suggest that we should put up a local array on the gates. This would control the entry of any of those demons and shadow beings in the city." A tall and muscular 3 meters tall giant said.

"Umm… I agree with the Gigantes king…" a majestic looking man with silver dragon scales on his face said.

"The Dragon Emperor and the Gigantes king's suggestion is feasible, we will not have any problem with the array in the valley if it is just small arrays. In fact, almost all of the establishments in the city have this array on their doors and windows. Though they could not create huge ones to cover their houses, this is enough to at least deter those demons from attacking us." A dwarf said as he adjusted his glasses.

This dwarf is the one in charge of the Heaven and Earth city, city head Falkir Drumbeat.

He might be a small dwarf than the rest of the people inside the room, but he is already a saint and has lived for about 2,000 years already in the immortal land. So, he is a figure that also belongs to the bunch of saint rulers currently discussing on the table.

While the group is conversing inside the room, they were suddenly interrupted by a knocking sound coming from outside the door.

"Who dares interrupt us?! Come in!" the dwarf-looking man angrily said with a frown.

"Your… your highnesses… The… The representatives have arrived." A thin figure peek inside the room and said with a trembling tone.

When the group heard this, some showed smiles on their faces, while others felt a bit tensed.

"Send the welcoming committee! I want no error on this, got it?!" Falkir Drumbeat massages his glabella while giving his command.

Seeing the stress in the small guy, the rest of the people inside the room turned silent. They knew what kind of stress this fellow is having right now. For them, this event is an opportunity to renew the universe's power in the immortal land and at the same time give the juniors a chance to visit other worlds and gain experience, but for Falkir Drumbeat, this is one daunting and really heavy task. The implication of failing in this task is colossal on his part.

And so everyone turned silent.

…

Within the horizon of the Heaven and Earth city, the guards standing above its tall and sturdy city walls could now see hundreds and thousands of flying vehicles appearing.

The flying ships look like a bunch of swarms coming to attack the city. And not only had that, in the four large gates of the city, while several carriages began appearing in its perspective horizons.

Those visiting the city immediately made their way as they tried looking at the different designs of carriages coming inside the city gates.

Then not long later, the people could now see majestic flying artifacts coming closer to the sky wharf of the city. Those majestic artifacts are pulled by different large beasts located in different parts of the immortal land, ranging from dragons, flying lions, horses, and more.

However, soon, everyone noticed a particular flying artifact that looks like a huge chunk of metal. It has a weird design and is not being pulled by any beasts.

When that ship came closer to the designated platform, everyone saw the humans alighting from inside the weird ship.

"Those are the humans… I heard that in this few months before the Heaven and Earth opening, they began to produce weird artifacts…"

"Well, they have given us the virtual world, what would you expect?"

"I did not know how they are able to come up with such artifacts… I wish I can visit the human territory someday."

"Well, as an orc, that would be a long journey… Hehehe…"

"I also wanted to see how those artifacts of them work…"

The crowd bustled as they watches the representatives from the races got off from their airships and carriages.

The proud look on the visiting races coming to the city could be seen in each of their eyes. How could they not feel proud? They are the young elites of their clans and the future of their race. They are here to represent and show the prowess of their race against their peers from the other races.

…

Town of Joule

The town of Joule is around 2,000 kilometers away from Heaven and Earth City. This town should be the closes town if one would use teleportation portals to go to Heaven and Earth City. Hence the town is prosperous and its population many.

A few days ago, large groups of carriages and airships began appearing in its vicinity. And the people knew that those inside the transportation artifacts would be going to Heaven and Earth city to participate in the Heaven and Earth opening.

At this time, the streets of the town are almost empty. Only a few vendors could be seen here and there, but most of the people are inside their homes or in the inns.

The TV sets that the human race has begun producing in bulk have already reached the other races. And of course, it has already reached the town of Joule.

And so, people from the town are all inside their houses excited to watch the upcoming Heaven and Earth opening live broadcast, the first-ever live broadcast event in the whole of immortal land. So how could they not feel excited?

Right at this time, a figure suddenly appears from the vicinity of the town.

This figure is Shin Jiao.

As he looks around his surroundings, he could tell that he reached the closes range that teleportation is possible.

"The resonance of the Heaven and Earth opening is really strong. But this is not present before…" he thought.

Well, that is to be expected as the Heaven and Earth valley has not yet fully opened at that time. However, since the start of the event, the valley is now about to open. Hence the universe energy in the whole planet is being concentrated in this part turning this area into a teleportation forbidden ground.

Upon realizing this, Shin Jiao heaves a sigh of relief.

"I guess that this is the reason why the demon army did not enter the portal and only those two…" he thought.

He then takes out his communication device and tried it.

"Hmm… The communication device is able to work… This is good." He thought.

Suddenly his attention caught the loud cheering coming from the houses inside the town.

"Hmm… I guess it is starting." He thought as Shin Jiao takes out a flying artifact and quickly hopped on it.

The flying artifact looks like a hoverbike and as soon as he squeezes the throttle, the bike quickly speeds up the distance like a rocket.

  Not long after Shin Jiao left, the space a couple of hundreds of kilometers away from the town suddenly rippled.

From inside the space, two figures appear. One is a black-cloaked tall figure, and the other one is a scantly clothed voluptuous woman with protruding horns and a long tail behind her.

It was the lich and the succubus that Shin Jiao saw inside the demon's lair. The pair was the ones who noticed that there is something wrong after checking the guards outside, they saw them all down on the ground with foams coming out of their mouths.

The two knew that the demon guards are poisoned and quickly tried to look for the other generals. Then they noticed the commotion near the portal room.

As soon as they learned of what had happened, they knew someone was able to infiltrate their base.

The two decided to go to this place and hunt down the culprit.

"I will put up a network of undead within this area to intercept that person. You... try and inform the leader..." The lich said as he suddenly vanished.

The succubus on the other hand looks in the direction of the town.

"Hmm… I wonder what I could find in there?" she said with a playful smile.
