In the Command and Control Center of the City of Starlight, Liu Hui was assimilating the torrent of feedback pouring in from every direction.

"Boss, all ports and docks, including the vessels, have been cleared."

"Boss, all construction sites have been completely secured."

"Boss, all coastal residents have been evacuated to the city center."

"Boss, instruct—"

Liu Hui was deeply satisfied with the efficiency of the Starlight City administration; in just over an hour, they had executed nearly every order issued.

Liu Hui inquired, "How much longer until that Super Tsunami reaches our 'City of Starlight'?"

The monitoring officer reported, "Estimated arrival at our current location in ten minutes."

"Liu Hui immediately connected the call to Anqi, asking, "Anqi, we are fully prepared on our end. Can you initiate the Array now?"

Anqi replied over the phone, "Received. We are activating the Array. The levitation formation will become fully effective in two minutes and will ascend into the sky in three. We will transfer control of the Array to you then."

Liu Hui responded, "Understood, Anqi. Once the Array is active, contact Xian’er and the others immediately, and converge at Warehouse Number One. That is the safest location."

Anqi said, "Sister Xian’er already called me. I will head over as soon as I finish this. Oh, and Liu Hui, you must also be careful. For some reason, I keep having this strong feeling of impending doom, as if something terrible is going to happen tonight."

Liu Hui comforted Anqi, "With me here, you have nothing to worry about. I will protect all of you."

,～，～，～，～，～～，～，～，、，～，～，～，～ Great Serpent, despite lying dormant five hundred meters beneath the seabed under the City of Starlight, kept its miraculous scanning system active, constantly sweeping the movements above in the City of Starlight.

Maeda Atsuko was continuously receiving data from this scan, and she suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Bina, something is wrong. Something strange seems to be happening."

Bina immediately asked, "Miss Maeda, what strange things are occurring?"

Maeda Atsuko stated, "I just detected a peculiar energy signature above the City of Starlight. This strange energy appeared abruptly, and under its influence, the entire City of Starlight seems to be rising."

Bina asked, puzzled, "The City of Starlight is rising? What in the world does that mean?" Not only did Bina fail to grasp Maeda Atsuko's meaning, but the other God-level experts standing on the heads of the Yamata no Orochi also couldn't comprehend the implication.

Maeda Atsuko clarified, "What I mean is, the City of Starlight appears to be flying into the sky."

Bina was shocked. "Flying into the sky? How is that possible? The City of Starlight is enormous; its weight must be calculated in hundreds of millions of tons. How could something that heavy possibly lift off?"

Maeda Atsuko was also bewildered. She re-sensed the ongoing activity within the City of Starlight and confirmed with certainty, "I don't know the reason, but the City of Starlight is indeed ascending. In the time we have been talking, it has already risen five meters."

Bina paused, then decisively commanded, "Miss Maeda, please ascend to the sea surface immediately."

Under Maeda Atsuko's control, the Yamata no Orochi rose to the surface. They found the sea surface engulfed in lightning, torrential rain, monstrous waves, and violently adverse weather. However, this harshness failed to surprise the God-level experts; what truly stunned them was the sight of the City of Starlight actively beginning to ascend.

The beaches, normally submerged, were now fifty meters above the waterline, and what was emerging was the hull of the City of Starlight, previously hidden beneath the waves.

The exposed hull sections were majestic and imposing, shimmering with a dark metallic sheen that possessed a profoundly sci-fi texture.

Through the fierce wind and rain, the immense City of Starlight continued to climb, resembling a vast piece of land suddenly taking flight—a truly breathtaking spectacle. The group stood frozen, watching the City of Starlight soar into the sky, dumbfounded, unable to fathom how this was achieved, as it completely surpassed the limits of their imagination.

Maeda Atsuko suddenly remarked, "Mr. Bina, the peculiar energy field that usually surrounds the City of Starlight has vanished."

Bina was momentarily stunned, then erupted in delight. "If that strange energy is gone, it means the City of Starlight is currently at its weakest defensively. After all, lifting a structure this massive into the sky must strain its monitoring systems. This is the perfect opportunity for us to board the City of Starlight! Everyone, prepare yourselves; we are boarding now!"

Bina flickered, taking the lead by leaping onto the increasingly exposed hull of the City of Starlight. He vaulted across the surface in several bounds, clambering aboard. Seeing that the City of Starlight did not react to Bina's scaling, the remaining God-level experts finally relaxed and silently followed behind Bina, infiltrating the City of Starlight.

On the sea surface, Maeda Atsuko's high-tech mecha reconfigured again, transforming from the serpentine form back into its humanoid mecha shape. The mecha's engines silently engaged, carrying her up to the City of Starlight.

After activating the levitation Array, the City of Starlight had temporarily shut down its large-scale defensive matrices for security reasons. As a result, Bina and his group seized this rare window of vulnerability and successfully bypassed the protection of the major defensive Array, secretly infiltrating... the City of Starlight....

In the Command and Control Center, Liu Hui had been closely monitoring the entire ascent of the City of Starlight. Due to the city's sheer size and the structural fragility of certain sections, they dared not ascend too quickly, lest the entire structure risk fracturing.

Beneath the storm, the colossal City of Starlight gradually emerged from the sea, beginning a slow rise, while vast quantities of seawater cascaded down from its body. Finally, the City of Starlight revealed its true form to the world for the first time; regrettably, under such terrible weather conditions, no one noticed the grandeur and majesty of the spectacle.

The immense City of Starlight slowly floated into the sky. Ten kilometers away in the sea, a tsunami wave, towering like a small mountain, suddenly appeared, carrying immense destructive energy as it surged toward the City of Starlight's location.

The City of Starlight continued its upward flight, soon reaching an altitude of one hundred meters, where it halted its ascent, hovering suspended in the air.

Two minutes later, the thirty-five-meter-high tsunami wave roared past in the sea below, churning with massive breakers, yet it passed completely harmlessly beneath the City of Starlight suspended in the heavens.

Personnel in the Command and Control Center, who had been ceaselessly tracking the tsunami, erupted in cheers as they watched it recede and saw the City of Starlight untouched. On this night, they had witnessed firsthand the City of Starlight's incredible hovering capability, which allowed it to effortlessly evade the tsunami's attack. They fully understood that henceforth, no tsunami originating from the sea could inflict the slightest harm upon the City of Starlight.

Liu Hui finally let the tension ease from his heart. He announced, "Everyone, you performed excellently, but please remain vigilant. The previous tsunami was only the first wave. There are two more coming, so we must stay alert and show no complacency."

Receiving Liu Hui's reminder, everyone responded with a loud affirmation and immediately plunged back into their duties. However, at this point, none of them worried that the tsunami posed any threat to the City of Starlight.

ｉ～，～，～，～ｎ，～，～，～，～，～，～，～，～

The group of God-level experts led by Bina finally set foot upon the City of Starlight. Amidst the raging storm, they were astonished to find the city suspended motionless in the sky, while the tsunami wave roared beneath them without causing any damage.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, they were all stunned. Simultaneously, they felt a sense of relief, realizing that if they had not surfaced earlier, they would have been left behind when the City of Starlight ascended a hundred meters to avoid the tsunami. Except for Lu Nong and Maeda Atsuko, none of the others could have boarded the City of Starlight.

Despite their shock at the City of Starlight's levitation technology, Bina remained remarkably calm. He recalled their mission objective for the night and stated, "Everyone, since we are aboard the City of Starlight, let's commence our operation immediately!"

Lu Nong expressed displeasure. "Bina, even at this critical juncture, are you not going to disclose the full details of this operation plan to us?"

Bina smiled. "Miss Lu Nong, our plan is actually quite simple: we head directly to Liu Hui's residence and kill him. If Liu Hui is not home, we seize his family members and use them to lure Liu Hui into an ambush, then strike him down. That will resolve everything."

Lucifer interjected, "None of us have been to the City of Starlight. Who knows where Liu Hui and his family reside?"

Bina chuckled. "Have you forgotten? I mentioned before that while our people couldn't ascend, we captured several citizens of the City of Starlight from outside. Under severe interrogation, those individuals revealed all the intelligence they possessed regarding Liu Hui and his family. Thus, we have the locations of Liu Hui’s parents, wife, and mistress. We only need to follow the map to find Liu Hui, or capture any one of them to lure him out."

Yan Hongyu stated coldly, "If we have precise intelligence, what are we waiting for? Let’s move out immediately!"

Bina said, "Our first objective is to reach Liu Hui's home and hopefully strike him down directly. If Liu Hui isn't there, we capture his wife, Hu Xian'er. With Hu Xian'er in hand, half our plan is essentially a success. However, I estimate the likelihood of Liu Hui being home under tonight's circumstances is extremely low."

After finalizing their strategy, the God-level experts, under Bina's leadership, moved swiftly according to the map of the City of Starlight drawn by the defecting citizens, rushing towards Liu Hui's residence.

Although the rain was pouring down, it did not impede the God-level experts' progress. They quickly and stealthily located Liu Hui's dwelling. When they silently infiltrated the house, they discovered it was already deserted; not a single person was found.

Bina was slightly frustrated. Unsure where Liu Hui and Hu Xian'er had gone, they had to move to the second target: Liu Hui's parents.

But upon reaching Liu Hui’s parents' home, they again found no one there.

Bina grew increasingly vexed. His meticulous plan hinged on capturing key individuals to bait Liu Hui, yet Liu Hui, anticipating the danger to his family, had already relocated them all. Bina had drawn a complete blank.

Seeing the skeptical glances from the others, Bina said, albeit gloomily, "Don't panic, everyone. Although we didn't find Liu Hui, his wife, or his parents, Liu Hui has two mistresses. Capturing them will achieve the same result."

When Bina led the God-level cadre to Anqi's residence, they found no sign of her either. After this series of missed opportunities, the morale of the God-level group began to sink. Finally, they located Shu Yan's room, but she, too, was nowhere to be found.

By this point, even Bina's morale was flagging. His carefully laid plan was in danger of failing due to the absence of targets. Without these key figures, where would they find any trace of Liu Hui?

Just as despair began to set in, footsteps sounded outside Shu Yan's room, and the door was opened from the outside. Startled, everyone quickly retreated and concealed themselves nearby.

The God-level experts watched as Shu Yan crept in furtively, chuckling triumphantly. "Hmph, you've all run off to the warehouse to shelter from the tsunami, without even preparing any food. My Huihui has been directing the defense against the tsunami all night; I wonder how hungry he must be. I’ll sneak back to bring him the gourmet meal I prepared..." She began fantasizing. After a moment of distraction, she reheated the food she had made in a pot, packed it into an insulated container, and headed out the door.

Maeda Atsuko asked, "Mr. Bina, why didn't we capture that woman just now?"

Bina smiled. "No rush, no rush. Didn't you hear what she said? She’s going to rendezvous with Huihui’s other women. If we follow her quietly, we can discover where all of Liu Hui's women are gathered. Once we capture all of them, Liu Hui won't be able to resist our trap."

The group agreed this was highly logical. After all, capturing Shu Yan alone might not easily trick Liu Hui. They gathered from her words that Shu Yan hadn't truly advanced her relationship with Liu Hui; they weren't as intimate as implied. Therefore, capturing all of Liu Hui’s women would significantly increase their chances of success.

The members of the God-level group quietly trailed behind Shu Yan. Shu Yan, consumed by her internal delight, had no idea her movements were being tracked. She walked for a while through the downpour until she reached a hillside. She tapped a large gate a few times and spoke a few words into an intercom before the gate swung open, and she walked inside.

Bina nodded to the God-level experts, and they immediately surged toward the gate. Before it could fully close, they rushed inside. Upon entry, they found themselves in a massive warehouse stacked with goods, with several women and children gathered in the center.

Shu Yan had just entered when she saw eight strange figures appear behind her. She paused initially, then demanded, "Who are you? Why are you barging in here?"

Bina stepped forward, grinning widely. "Little sister, we should actually thank you! If you hadn't led the way, how could we have found this place? Look here: Hu Xian'er, Anqi, and this must be Liang Jingyue with her son, correct? Oh, and look—Mei Peng's wife and their two children too! Hahaha! With all these hostages secured, I highly doubt Liu Hui will refuse our terms."

The women and children inside the warehouse were utterly terrified when they saw the strange intruders rush in from outside. Hearing Bina's words and realizing their goal was Liu Hui, they instantly erupted in screams.

A'Xia, Anqi's bodyguard, stepped forward, placing herself between the group and the intruders. "Who are you? Why are you targeting the Boss? Don't you know the consequences of offending the Boss?"

Bina was in high spirits. He laughed, "Little sister, you’ve got some skill! Peak Xiantian Realm at such a young age, but you’re still no match for us!"

A'Xia declared, "As long as I stand here, you will not harm them."

Bina smiled, and reality seemed to flicker before the others. Bina suddenly appeared next to A'Xia and knocked her aside with his own body. A'Xia hit the wall with a loud thud, began spitting blood, and slid limply to the floor.

Bina smiled, stepped forward, picked up A'Xia from the ground, and returned. He tossed her before the group. A'Xia lay motionless on the floor, blood seeping from her mouth. A single collision from Bina had utterly defeated a master of the Xiantian Realm—a testament to the vast gulf in power levels.

Liu Lin quickly covered the eyes of Mei Doudou and Xie Yuxin, shielding them from the gruesome sight. Liang Jingyue pulled Xiao Bao close and turned away.

Shu Yan roared in anger, "Who exactly are you people, and why are you hurting Sister A'Xia?"

Bina laughed. "Little sister, we are villains. Arson and murder are our privileges. However, as thanks for bringing us here... we won't harm you later."

Shu Yan felt the world spin. She realized she had led the wolves to the sheepfold, bringing these wicked men here and placing everyone in the warehouse in mortal danger. Thinking of their target being Liu Hui, she felt the world collapse. She let out a piercing scream and lunged toward Bina, but someone grabbed her. Shu Yan turned to see that it was Hu Xian'er pulling her back.

Hu Xian'er shook her head at Shu Yan, pulling her behind her. "Shu Yan, don't act rashly yet." She then turned back to Bina and said, "Tell us, what exactly do you want us to do? We are all women and children here. I assume you won't trouble women and children?"

Bina began to applaud, laughing, "Miss Hu Xian'er, you truly are Liu Hui's principal wife—calm and sensible. Let me put it plainly: we are here tonight to discuss a proposal with Liu Hui. If you cooperate and call him here, once we finish our discussion with him, we will leave voluntarily and harm no one."

Hu Xian'er surveyed the ring of God-level experts surrounding them and stated coldly, "If I say no, you still have other methods, don't you?"

Bina smiled. "Indeed. Even if you refuse to cooperate, we have ways to compel Liu Hui to come here. However, in that scenario, the scene here might become quite bloody, which would be regrettable for the children present!"

Hearing Bina’s threat and glancing at the women and children in the room, Hu Xian'er hesitated, then sighed. "Fine! I will call Liu Hui over now, but you must guarantee his safety."

Bina chuckled, "Miss Hu, we are merely seeking wealth; why would we harm Boss Liu? Please rest assured!"

Hu Xian'er picked up the phone on her person, preparing to dial Liu Hui's number.

An Qi suddenly interjected, "Sister Xian'er, you mustn't do that!" Shu Yan also urged, "Sister Xian'er, you absolutely cannot summon Liu Hui here! What if they renege on their promise and decide to harm Huihui? What will we do then?" Liang Jingyue added, "Even if we fall into their hands, as long as Ah Hui is still outside, he can find a way to rescue us. But if Ah Hui also falls into their clutches, then we are completely finished—who will be left to save us?"

Hearing this, Hu Xian'er hesitated. Bina smiled faintly. The pursuer behind him stomped his foot, sending a tangible wave of energy vibrating along the ground towards A'Xia. A'Xia was thrown into the air, followed by an explosion that blew off one of her arms. A'Xia let out a sharp cry before instantly regaining consciousness, only to immediately fall unconscious again, dropping to the floor a mangled mess.

Bina laughed, "Ladies, my elder brother behind me doesn't have the best temper. If you refuse my demands now, he might fly into a rage. Once he rages, he might kill you all! Even if you don't consider yourselves, you must think of these children! I hear Boss Liu only has one child at his advanced age!"

As if to confirm Bina's words, Zhui Hun stomped his foot again. A shipping container stacked in the distance within the warehouse suddenly detonated, sending its contents scattering everywhere.

Bina smiled, "Miss Hu Xian'er, what do you think of my suggestion now?"

Hu Xian'er, her face ashen white, finally yielded and began dialing Liu Hui on her mobile phone.

An Qi, Shu Yan, and Liang Jingyue could only submit, lowering their heads in silence.

，～，～，～，～，～，～，～，～ｎ，～，～，～，～，～

Liu Hui was overseeing the situation regarding the second tsunami surge at the command center when he received the call from Hu Xian'er.

"Xian'er, what is it? I'm busy right now!" Liu Hui said.

Hu Xian'er replied, "Ah Hui, something seems wrong. Jingyue's child appears to be having some kind of episode; he's convulsing on the floor right now!"

Liu Hui was startled. "How is that possible? Xiao Bao's physical was fine during the last checkup. How could he start convulsing?"

Hu Xian'er explained, "I don't know why! It's just like when Young Master Huang visited us in Meixian—he suddenly fell ill. You should hurry over and take a look! We are all waiting for you in the warehouse."

Liu Hui paused, about to press further, when Hu Xian'er abruptly hung up.

Liu Hui frowned deeply. He had sensed something significant in Hu Xian'er's words.

Meixian, Young Master Huang—that was something he encountered in his previous life as Wang Jin. Why would Xian'er suddenly mention these things? Could something dire have happened where they were, prompting her to use these code words to warn him?

The more Liu Hui thought, the more uneasy he became. He turned to Zhou Tengyun and Yao Yao standing beside him. "You two, come with me immediately. Everyone else, continue monitoring the second wave of the tsunami below. Notify me instantly if there are any developments."

So, Liu Hui, Zhou Tengyun, and Yao Yao left the command center. They got into an electric vehicle and sped toward Warehouse Number One.

In the car, Zhou Tengyun asked, "Boss, what happened?"

Liu Hui replied, "Yes, I feel something is wrong. When Xian'er called me just now, she unexpectedly mentioned a code word that only she and I know. That code word once symbolized bloodshed and death, so I suspect Xian'er and the others might be in trouble."

Zhou Tengyun exclaimed, "What should we do then?" Liu Hui stated, "The three of us will rush ahead, and let De Ge lead the support team to follow behind us."

Zhou Tengyun asked, "Why not have Desheng’s men go with us?"

Liu Hui explained, "If trouble has truly broken out, having so many of us rush over will definitely alert the opposition, and I fear that would be detrimental to Xian'er and the others. Besides, with the three of us going, do you think there is anything we can't handle?"

Zhou Tengyun immediately understood Liu Hui's thinking. Both he and Liu Hui were super masters at the Kan Jing Divine level, and with Yao Yao, whose skill level was also profoundly immeasurable, they could basically resolve any problem they encountered. Because Liu Hui, the Divine level master, was the most deeply hidden—no one knew his true strength—he possessed immense stealth capabilities. Therefore, when they went, there was unlikely to be any major issues.
