Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 309: Bai Qi and other alliances

The first event that astonished everyone regarding Lein's power was the emergence of the Tree of Life. That colossal tree struck awe into the hearts of all who saw it, without exception.

Now, the appearance of an endless landmass only solidified Lein's standing in everyone's hearts. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a god.

"Princess Bai, the World Market Trade alliance ship has arrived," said a crew member not far from the main table in the room.

Bai Qi's head turned slightly toward the crew member. Her gaze lingered briefly before she nodded moments later.

Silence enveloped the main room. No one dared to speak. Bai Qi's mood was hard to read, and no one wanted to risk saying something inappropriate at this moment.

Similar situations occurred on nearly every other alliance ship, all equally eager to directly explore the newly emerged, endless landmass.

Far below the vast new land, the core members of the World Market Trade alliance had arrived. They stood on untouched ground, each displaying expressions of excitement and enthusiasm.

"Whoa… Somehow, this feels different from standing on island soil," exclaimed Efan, bouncing lightly on his feet. His face lit up, his eyes studying the ground beneath him as though examining every grain of sand, entirely new to him.

Nita, standing not far from him, smiled as she touched the ground's surface with her fingertips. "Hahaha, I feel the same. The soil here seems to have more energy," she said. Her words prompted nods of agreement from several other members who felt the same way.

Haikal Emanuel stepped forward, gazing at the team with eyes full of responsibility. "Everyone, let's spread out and conduct a quick inspection," he said in a firm yet calm voice.

Their task was to ensure this land was safe and free of threats before others began exploring the area. With their powers as Grandmasters, they were the best candidates to carry out this critical mission.

Without hesitation, the core members responded enthusiastically. "I'm ready!"

"So am I!"

They activated various pieces of equipment, ranging from advanced weaponry to exploration tools specially designed to detect danger. The faint glow of energy from the equipment added a futuristic aura to the scene around them.

"All right, spread out!" Haikal Emanuel commanded.

At his order, the core members took off at incredible speed, leaving trails of energy in the air. They scattered in all directions, ensuring that every corner of this new land would be thoroughly inspected.

Haikal Emanuel flew gracefully, shrouded in a dark energy aura emanating from his body. Beside him, the figure of a grim reaper floated calmly, exuding a chilling atmosphere that made the air around them feel eerie. The reaper, with its dark wings gently fluttering, required no verbal commands. It simply gave a brief nod before flying in the opposite direction to expand their exploration area.

Haikal observed the landscape below him. This land was not only vast but also full of unique features he had never seen before. Small hills glowed faintly as if they were alive, while narrow rivers flowed with silvery water that reflected the starlight. He occasionally sharpened his senses, scanning for any suspicious energy.

Elsewhere, Laras glided through the air with remarkable elegance. Her seven holy angels surrounded her in perfect formation, each emitting a soft golden light. Their glowing eyes gazed at her with reverence, awaiting her command.

"Move. Inspect any areas you pass through," Laras ordered firmly.

Without hesitation, the angels dispersed at high speed, each heading to different points on the horizon. Laras herself soared forward, crossing forests and small mountains with sharp eyes observing every detail. The energy of this land felt unique to her, brimming with potential that was hard to define.

As she flew over a valley filled with glowing plants, one of her angels approached with a calm expression. The gentle light radiating from the angel's form blended with the twinkling luminescence of the plants below.

Its voice was soft yet firm as it reported, "Madam, no threats detected in this area."

"Good. Continue," Laras replied briefly, her eyes remaining focused on the horizon ahead, searching for anything that might be hidden beyond the thin mist. With a small nod, the angel flew away, resuming its inspection of the surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, at the initial landing site, two figures remained standing firmly. Nita was busy examining her spatial ring, while Elen stood not far from her. The girl glanced at Nita hesitantly before gathering the courage to ask, her voice soft yet full of curiosity.

"Sister Nita, where are we going?" she asked shyly, fidgeting with the hem of her robe.

"We'll build a portal first," Nita replied calmly, taking out several items that immediately hovered in the air. The light from the items reflected on their faces, giving a mysterious impression.

Building a portal was considered essential to expedite the movement of their scattered team across the island to the still unfamiliar new land. The surrounding atmosphere felt quiet, broken only occasionally by the sound of the wind carrying the scent of damp trees.

"All right, Sister. Should we deploy search robots here too?" Elen asked, her eyes sparkling with hope.

"Ah, yes, that's a great idea. We need to map this land to make creating a map easier later," Nita nodded in agreement, her smile widening. Her hands moved swiftly, pulling out an advanced portal blueprint.

[Do you want to build (High-Level Space Portal: blueprint) yes/no]

Nita looked at the confirmation prompt for using the portal blueprint and casually chose yes.

[Building (High-Level Space Portal: blueprint), required materials:]

- Energy Crystals 1m

- Astral Pearls 100

- Dimensional Beast Hearts 10

- Aetherium Metal 1k

- ...

A long list of required materials for the high-level portal construction appeared before Nita, but she didn't blink. With ease, she moved her hand to confirm.

As soon as she agreed, the blueprint's blue light flared brightly, enveloping the area around them.

Instantly, a large circle with a ten-meter diameter appeared on the ground, hovering with impressive intricate patterns. The portal began forming, a circular frame towering five meters high, resembling a gateway to another dimension.
