A few seconds later, the conference room was filled with incredulous voices.
“Floating island? That’s not possible. Don’t floating islands exist only in the legends?”
“Other than that, I can’t think of anything else. No matter how strong a human is, he can’t fight the Undead army alone. Netherworld did just that!”
“No wonder he has such powerful firepower. Even the automaton race back then wasn’t this powerful.”
“Humph, how can a mere automaton race be compared to the floating island that protects the lost continent?”
All the paladins in the meeting room could not remain calm. The legend of the floating island had been circulating in the lost continent for a long time. It was said that it had existed since the beginning of the universe, and it was on the same level as the entire lost continent itself.
According to the legend,s when the lost continent fell into an unavoidable catastrophe, the creatures on the lost continent could ride the floating island in an attempt to leave this universe and seek another home.
However, the floating island had never appeared in many years. No one knew how strong the floating island was, so the people on the continent just treated it as a legend.
At this time, a few high-ranking paladins looked at each other as if they were sending each other a message.
“No matter what, we must take away Netherworld’s title!”
The Church of Light still had the right to strip the title of a god-bestowed noble. Moreover, it was very likely that this would be the order of the God of Light.
The God of Light was not a good person. Previously, he had only offered an olive branch to Li Cheng as a way to appease him. Since Li Cheng did not accept it and even wanted to go to the evil side, then the God of Light would not mind having one more enemy.
On Li Cheng’s side, the sound of the system notifications rang in his ears.
“Ding, dong! You’ve been stripped of your title, the Duke of the Church of Light. You will no longer be able to enjoy any of the privileges of the Church of Light.
“Ding, dong! The Holy Light Priests are requesting to leave your territory!
“Ding, dong…”
As the system’s voice fell, Li Cheng blinked. He was not at all surprised that he had been stripped of his title. It was only a matter of time before he parted ways with the kind camp. He just did not expect that the Church of Light was so decisive. It was likely that the God of Light had instructed them to do so.
Nevertheless, Li Cheng did not mind it. He was still thinking about the floating island. Since he had been stripped of his title, these paladins and priests would naturally not serve him anymore. Thinking of this, Li Cheng was in a difficult position.
At this moment, Lillian seemed to have heard Li Cheng’s thoughts and asked, “Lord, how should we deal with them?”
Li Cheng thought for a moment. It was impossible to let them go back. He had raised these troops with much effort. Should he let them go back, only to have to turn around to attack him when the time came?
The only way left was to kill them. However, Li Cheng could not bring himself to do it. These troops had followed him for so long, especially the priestesses. They had never gone against him, so he did not have the heart to do it.
Of course, if these young ladies had any ill intentions towards him, Li Cheng would not show any mercy.
At this time, Li Cheng wanted to hand these troops over to Tiavanas, letting her lure them into depravity, turning them into powerful evil creatures.
Soon, this idea was abandoned by Li Cheng. A dangerous light flashed through his eyes as he slowly said, “Lock them up for the time being. Don’t let any of them leave.”
“Yes.” Lillian nodded obediently.
After dealing with the paladins, Li Cheng began to browse through the shops for this event.
The other players did not participate in this large-scale world event at all. Hence, everything in the shop was completely his and his alone. Li Cheng’s points had reached an infinite level.
Therefore, the various items in the shop, such as materials and consumables, were directly emptied out. Whether it was high-tier items or low-tier items, not a single item was left. Even if he kept his points, no one else could exchange for the items since they had not participated in the event, so he might as well nab all of them. Some of the items could also be used to level up high-tier items.
Finally, it was time for the soldier and equipment. The Legendary soldier in this event was still the Retribution Knight. It was a comprehensive type of soldier, especially for units of the evil forces. The damage it dealt would increase by a lot.
Li Cheng could not be more familiar with the attributes of the Retribution Knight. He did not hesitate and immediately exchanged for all of them. Just like the other event shops, he exchanged for 500,000 in one go. Hence, the Retribution Knights were switched, giving him their recruitment authority.
Following that, Li Cheng began to exchange for equipment. The Holy Sword of Retribution was a piece of Mythical-grade equipment that was exclusively for the Retribution Knight. Li Cheng casually threw it into his backpack. It was Mythical-grade equipment but Li Cheng was too lazy to look at it carefully now.
In any case, Legendary-grade equipment was mass-produced for the current Li Cheng. He used them as cannon fodder. Regardless of whether it was growth or combat strength, Crown-ranked equipment was the king of all equipment.
After dealing with these things, he closed the panel and brought all the troops back to the floating island. Tiavanas was teleported back to his territory as well. Of course, she also brought her brother Arak with her.
As for how Arak would be tortured by Tiavanas, Li Cheng did not care about it at all. However, he knew that Arak would enjoy special treatment.
At this moment, Li Cheng drove the floating island toward a certain coordinate in the east. A few minutes later, the engine of the floating island slowly stopped.
Li Cheng did not hesitate and directly crushed the small note in his hand. In the next moment, the system notification rang in his ear.
“Ding, dong! You’ve discovered the Wonder building, the Tower of Time!
“Ding, dong…”
As the system’s voice fell, a mysterious golden pyramid that was emitting a strange light appeared in Li Cheng’s line of sight.
When he saw this, he had a thought. Since he had the Hourglass of Time, he was now more interested in things with the word ‘time’ in their name.
Seeing that the pyramid in front of him was a little strange, he immediately cast a scouting spell on it.
