The add-on chapter will be available after midnight; those who need their sleep can catch up tomorrow. ... Although Lin Luo had intended to summon the Sky City in the most dashing and coolest manner, much like invoking an ancient hero, the incantation was undeniably lengthy.

Halfway through, he tossed the incantation aside and initiated the summoning directly. As far as Lin Luo knew, the Creator, despite being a Di-rank powerhouse, had lost the most crucial vessel for unleashing that level of strength: a Di-rank body. Whether possessing Nagi's form or currently existing as a Spirit Transformation Mana Spirit, the Creator could not currently exert full Di-rank power.

However, this certainly did not mean the Creator was merely a peak Ling-rank expert. Any enemy who dared to assume so would face certain doom! Compared to peak Ling-rank might and incomplete ancient Di-rank magic, the Creator possessed an even mightier weapon...

the Graveyard Keeper's Palace. The Graveyard Keeper’s Palace was the foundation of the Creator’s existence, effectively their main base. For thousands of years, they had resided there, rarely venturing out.

Amadilu, Evangeline, and even puppets like Fate were born within its walls, and it housed all of the Creator's magical artifacts, books, and lore... Such a vital location was, naturally, heavily fortified. Simply put, the Creator's Graveyard Keeper's Palace shared the same fundamental nature as Lin Luo’s Sky City.

Of course, their capabilities differed significantly. Lin Luo knew the most crucial piece of information: should the Creator choose, they could integrate with the Mana Source located in the central hall of the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace, thus controlling the entire structure with their own immense mana. Such a colossal fortress, deployed in battle, would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction, capable of crushing gods and buddhas alike.

It possessed not only physical offensive power but also remarkably high levels of magical force—no surprise, as the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace was fundamentally a genesis point for magic itself. If the Creator deployed this ultimate weapon, Lin Luo would have no chance of victory unless he could advance to the Di-rank. Given Lin Luo’s current standing, such an ascension was impossible; while the Rule of Illusion and the Book of Origin augmented his methods and capacity, reaching the Di-rank required a fundamental, intrinsic change!

Since Di-rank was unattainable, resisting the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace required an equivalent asset. But in this world, Lin Luo could not find anything comparable to challenge the Palace directly. This, then, was the moment for the Sky City to enter the fray.

Not long ago, while Lin Luo was in the deepest level of the Time Chamber, analyzing world rules and fusing ancient magic, he discovered another secret of the summoning ability through rule-force analysis... By partially unlocking the rule-force, he could summon the Contractors of the Sky City, but beyond that, he could also summon the Sky City itself! While this seemed unbelievable on the surface, deeper consideration revealed it to be logical.

To put it bluntly, his Contractors were his "possessions," linked to his existence in the deepest way. Since Lin Luo created the Sky City, it too was his possession. Though there was no biological tie, 100% creation ruleality forged that connection, synchronizing their very essence, making the summoning a natural outcome.

Naturally, what Lin Luo summoned now was not the main citadel of the Sky City, but merely one of its floating districts. His current capacity was too limited; summoning the main citadel remained too difficult. A single floating district was the absolute limit.

If his capacity—his energy reserves—could expand, the possibilities were boundless; Lin Luo even speculated that with unlimited capacity, he might be able to summon the entire world. ... A massive expanse of blackness began to unfurl, halting only after spreading over dozens of miles.

Lightnings flickered incessantly within the void—though it was not lightning, but dimensional turbulence caused by the spatial flow, a vibration far exceeding that of mere thunder. Immediately following, a colossal island, in no way inferior to the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace, descended from the blackness. This sight stunned Evangeline and the others watching from a distance.

Outside the airship, Al, who had just secured Nagi’s body, witnessed this divine majesty; startled, he nearly tore Nagi in half with his grip... Even the Creator, situated within the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace, widened their eyes in disbelief. They could hardly process that Lin Luo had summoned something so immense.

How he managed it was utterly baffling; even ancient magic lacked such capability! Yet, following the shock, a surge of excitement coursed through the Creator. They knew precisely the devastating power their fortress commanded.

Unleashed fully, it could reduce Lin Luo to dust. But now that the opponent possessed an equal object... the scales were balanced.

The Creator immediately steered the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace into a charge toward Lin Luo. Meanwhile, Lin Luo awaited the arrival of the floating district. Although summoned, Contractors and a floating city were vastly different entities.

Contractors possessed a World Heart and were naturally immune to temporal barriers; the floating city was not. Moreover, its sheer size made traversing the spatial flow and counteracting this world's inherent repulsion slightly challenging. However, just before the Creator reached him, Lin Luo managed to pull the entire floating district down completely.

To counter the Creator's massive Graveyard Keeper’s Palace, Lin Luo had summoned the second largest district, second only to the Sky City’s main citadel. The entire district was rendered in stark black and white, adorned with numerous stately, ancient-looking palaces. Lin Luo stood directly beneath the floating city, his right hand still raised high, making it appear as if he were supporting the entire massive structure single-handedly—an utterly magnificent spectacle.

“Fascinating. I hadn't expected this ability. It seems defeating you will be quite difficult; perhaps this will be a grueling battle.

Truthfully, since the end of that ancient decisive battle, I haven’t encountered anyone who could force me to use my full strength. You remind me of the ancient Holy War; blood that has cooled for millennia is beginning to boil once more... Hahahaha!

Highly amusing, heir of the Ancients. I take a liking to you. If you prove worthy, I wouldn't mind granting you my daughter’s hand in marriage—provided you defeat me first!” The Creator boomed this declaration while driving the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace forward, their voice laced with nostalgia and excitement, echoing across the entire sky.

“Tsk.” Lin Luo clicked his tongue, thoroughly unimpressed. He often wondered about the parental figures in this world. The Crown Guard Yǒngchūn offered Mùnǎixiāng on the condition that Lin Luo defeat the Creator, and now the Creator offered Evangeline under the same terms.

Such trials were truly archaic; couldn't they find a fresher theme? “You don't need to say that. I will certainly take your daughter, and I will certainly defeat you—uh!” Lin Luo suddenly paused mid-sentence, not because he realized an error in his words, but because...

“Why has your voice changed?” Lin Luo pointed incredulously toward the approaching Graveyard Keeper’s Palace. When the Creator possessed Nagi, the voice had been a deep, imposing masculine tone. But now...

while the dominance remained, it was clearly the voice of a mature woman! “I have vacated that man’s body, so naturally, I am using my own voice. Is there an issue?” the Creator retorted.

“Your own voice? Are you... a woman?” Lin Luo was dumbfounded.

“Of course, I have always been a woman,” the Creator stated matter-of-factly. “I never claimed to be male. It’s quite simple to understand: I cultivated my two daughters using my own blood.

If I were male, I would have two sons instead of daughters.” Lin Luo was speechless. What kind of logic was that? Because she was female, her children were female?

Did that imply that all men in the world were birthed by men? It was truly vexing. However, the Creator's demeanor did seem slightly different now.

Could it be... no, could switching bodies actually alter one's personality? “Let us conclude the pleasantries.

Now, let us engage in a proper, ferocious battle! This is the first time in millennia I have felt this level of excitement!” By the time they finished speaking, the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace had reached Lin Luo. The Creator unleashed boundless, oppressive aura, and the mountain-like palace slammed violently toward Lin Luo.

Seeing this, Lin Luo dared not show carelessness. Even with his current physique, being struck by that thing would likely result in shattered bones. With a loud shout, Lin Luo thrust his right hand forward, sending the floating district hurtling to meet the Graveyard Keeper’s Palace, and then...

BOOM!!!!!!!!! If the sound from Lin Luo’s previous skirmish with the Creator was explosive, this collision was cataclysmic. An unprecedented roar completely surpassed the limits of human endurance; even the sky itself seemed to convulse from the impact.

From this single collision, the lake surface nearly a thousand meters below detonated, sending geysers of water dozens of meters high. The trees in the forest thrashed wildly as if dancing in the wind, and large swathes of woodland snapped and fell, utterly destroyed. The mere aftershock was terrifying enough!

“This is bad! Everyone brace yourselves, I need to retreat rapidly!” Even Chāo Língyīn, standing a dozen miles away, paled and immediately directed her airship backward. Her vessel was built using technology designed for a future era, featuring highly precise instrumentation.

Due to the material inadequacies of the current time, while the instruments functioned, their lifespan and defensive capability were drastically reduced. The reverberations from the collision had already damaged most of them, triggering severe alarms. Only after retreating another dozen miles did the instrument alarms finally cease.

Chāo Língyīn let out a sigh of relief. “I finally understand,” Al stated grimly at that moment. “Lin Luo’s words before we arrived—this will be a battle that affects the entire world.”
