Lu Dayou and his companions learn that the world has advanced rapidly, with shelters forming new powers and technology, including spaceships, developed using rune technology. They also discover that the military has been absorbed by Liang Yuan's faction. Arriving underground, Liang Yuan learns about the nature of the Floating Island and encounters Liang Minru, who is visibly disturbed by his presence due to their shared, traumatic past.

Half an hour later, Liang Minru’s face was full of shock and bewilderment, unable to dissipate for a long time.

"Are you saying that those flying ships are all yours? You’ve established a shelter in Yangshan, and have consolidated the entire shelter forces of Linjiang City?"

"Now planning to enter the Floating Island?"

After hearing Liang Yuan’s description, Liang Minru asked in disbelief.

Next to her, Lu Dayou had the same expression.

They both felt shocked and incredulous at the same time.

Lu Dayou knew those flying ships belonged to Yangshan, and he also knew Yangshan should have developed quite well.

But no matter what, he never expected that the entire Linjiang is now under Yangshan’s control.

Liang Yuan remained calm and composed, smiling as he said, "Yes, Linjiang City is now under our control, but its airspace has been invaded and occupied by Carey Technology Company and Mengya Company."

"We absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to this, otherwise we will completely lose airspace rights here, which will be very detrimental to Yangshan’s future development."

"That’s why we’ve come, and we’ve engaged in battle with the two forces of Mengya and Carey Technology."

"This is a conflict of interests; there is no right or wrong, and we cannot give in."

"Mengya Company?" Lu Dayou asked curiously, "Where did this Mengya Company come from?"

Liang Yuan explained, "Both Mengya Company and Carey Technology Company are forces from Yu Province."

"What? Forces from Yu Province? Yu Province is three to four hundred kilometers away from Linjiang City, isn’t it?" Liang Minru said in shock.

She herself was originally from Yu Province, and later settled in Linjiang City.

So she knew very well how far Yu Province is from Linjiang City.

Before doomsday, even without traffic jams, it would take her more than three hours to drive home on the highway.

Now, in this post-flood apocalypse, vehicles and other means of transportation are completely unusable. If relying only on rowing a boat, how long would it take to row three to four hundred kilometers?

In her memory, Liang Yuan and the others were like when they used to row a raft to Yangshan.

So it was hard for her to imagine what Mengya Company and Carey Technology Company, crossing hundreds of kilometers to invade Linjiang City by raft and small boat, would be like.

But as soon as she said this, she realized.

Carey Technology Company has already been able to build bases on Divine Tree Island, and have developed flying ships capable of traversing thunderclouds.

For a company of that level, how could they possibly be using rafts and small boats for travel?

The other side must certainly have more sophisticated water vehicles.

Upon thinking about this, she immediately realized that Yangshan might also have such equipment.

For a moment, she had mixed feelings, only feeling that the world had changed too much.

So much so that she couldn’t quite keep up.

Liang Yuan said, "Now three to four hundred kilometers is no longer considered a long distance. Whether it’s flying ships or the current ships, they can reach quickly."

"Even compared to before doomsday, when our travel relied solely on cars, due to the emergence of superpowers, our transportation has already upgraded to a more advanced level."

"Our flying ships can achieve a maximum speed of ten kilometers per minute."

"Three hundred kilometers could possibly be reached in just half an hour."

"And our speedboats and ships can also reach places three hundred kilometers away within an hour."

"Of course, there’s still a problem troubling us, which is the issue of navigation."

"Since the great flood submerged cities, with nothing as a reference on the vast water surface, it’s hard for us to determine direction on the water."

"Whether it’s flying ships or boats, we currently cannot solve this problem."

Liang Minru was a bit puzzled, "Is this problem that difficult? You’ve developed flying ships, yet you can’t overcome the direction problem?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, "There’s no way. Short-distance positioning can be achieved, but long-distance positioning is still not possible."

"How can this be?" Lu Dayou was somewhat puzzled. "Why is positioning so difficult?"

Liang Yuan said, "It’s still because of superpower energy."

"Superpower energy?"

"Yes, because superpower energy pervades the world, now the magnetic field of the entire planet has undergone drastic changes."

"You should know that positioning technology largely relies on satellite guidance, and chaotic magnetic fields mean that directions can’t be distinguished clearly."

Lu Dayou suddenly understood, and Liang Minru frowned and asked, "How did the magnetic field change?"

Her level of education was evidently higher than Lu Dayou’s, and she was also smarter than him.

Lu Dayou understood that magnetic field changes lead to an inability to position and didn’t ask further.

But she would dig deeper into the root of the problem and question the magnetic field issue.

Liang Yuan explained, "Superpower energy triggered the magnetic field changes. I’m not too sure about the specific reasons."

"But one can speculate, for instance, these Star Sky Giant Beasts turning into Floating Islands inherently possess a certain gravitational system."

"Have you ever thought about what allows such a large island to float in the sky?"

The two were slightly taken aback; they truly had never thought of this question.

Liang Yuan said, "It’s gravity because these Floating Island entities are Star Sky Giant Beasts. According to the information I’ve gathered, once the Heart Core and Brain Core of a Star Sky Giant Beast form, they essentially become a small celestial body."

"They themselves carry gravitational fields, which form a repulsive force with our planet, allowing them to float."

The two seemed to understand a little but clearly could not fully grasp it.

Liang Yuan did not delve deeper, only saying, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next?"

Liang Yuan asked the two.

Lu Dayou immediately said, "Mr. Liang, I want to go to Yangshan to see my daughter."

Liang Yuan nodded, smiled, and said, "That’s expected."

Liang Minru hesitated for a moment; she didn’t want to return to Yangshan.

Because too many people there knew her past, she didn’t want to encounter them again.

Liang Yuan could see her concerns, and seeing her not speak, he simply smiled and said, "No need to rush to answer me. Our people are still in need to build a base on the nearby floating island to solidify our strength."

"We won’t be leaving here anytime soon."

"By the way, speaking of this, the heart core and brain core of this island are still in your hands, which means the two of you are the actual owners of this island."

"I want to ask you, what do you plan to do with this island in the future?"

Lu Dayou and Liang Minru were taken aback again.

Lu Dayou asked, "Mr. Liang, do you mean the island is still ours?"

Liang Minru was also incredulous that despite defeating Carey Technology’s people, Liang Yuan was still willing to let them control the island?

He didn’t ask them to hand over the heart core and brain core?

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You both are my old friends. I don’t steal things from friends."

"Besides, I don’t lack floating islands now. The population of Yangshan is just this much, and there are plenty of territories."

"But I must remind you, Carey Technology suffered a big loss this time. Some have already fled ahead of time to return for aid."

"You should be prepared because next time Carey Technology might not let it go easily."

These words made Lu Dayou and Liang Minru’s hearts skip a beat.

Only then did they realize this situation.

Carey Technology’s people lost this time, but their headquarters aren’t here, and they have the ability to retaliate.

If Liang Yuan really lets go of Divine Tree Island, relying on themselves, how can they fight against Carey Technology?

Liang Minru realized at that moment, Liang Yuan may not openly ask them to hand over the heart and brain cores.

However, if he lets go, they simply cannot protect Divine Tree Island on their own.

Liang Minru instantly understood that they had no other option but to rely on Liang Yuan to preserve everything they have.

Lu Dayou couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liang, we only have a few dozen people, and such a big floating island is of no use to us. How about letting you manage the island instead?"

"I can give you the heart core."

"Brother Lu!"

Liang Minru’s expression changed, and she couldn’t help but call out.

Lu Dayou looked at Liang Minru and said, "Minru, you know me. I’m not one to manage things. Since these people are with me, I have to give them an explanation."

"Joining Yangshan is the explanation I’m giving them."

"Moreover, I can’t guarantee to keep the heart core if it stays with me."

"Without Mr. Liang, when the people from Carey Technology come, I fear I’d be forced to hand it over anyway. Rather than that, it’s better to give it to Mr. Liang now."

Liang Minru looked at Lu Dayou with a complicated expression; she knew her words wouldn’t change anything.

Lu Dayou is decisive; once he’s made up his mind, he will follow through.

And honestly, it’s hard to say he was wrong to do this.

The heart core is a massive asset bomb for anyone holding it.

Without strong protection, it will bring disaster.

Liang Minru also felt helpless, as she faced the same problem.

If the heart and brain cores weren’t with Liang Yuan, why would he protect Divine Tree Island?

And without Liang Yuan defending Divine Tree Island, if Carey Technology came over, she’d have no ability to resist.

Finally, Liang Minru sighed and said, "Mr. Liang, I’m also willing to hand over the brain core; I just hope Yangshan can protect us."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "What are you saying? You want to join Yangshan, and I wholeheartedly welcome you. Why trade the heart core or brain core?"

"If I really accepted your brain core core, would that be worthy of the friendship we once shared on our journey together?"

Liang Minru suddenly looked up, surprised and delighted, looking at Liang Yuan with disbelief: "Mr. Liang, you mean?"

Lu Dayou was also surprised and couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Liang, I genuinely want to give you the heart core."

Liang Yuan shook his head with a smile: "Regardless of whether you are willing or not, I wouldn’t take advantage in this situation."

"If you want to join us in Yangshan, I welcome you enthusiastically, and there’s no need to mention the heart core or brain core anymore."

"Of course, since you’ve joined Yangshan, Divine Tree Island must be managed by Yangshan."

"I’ll arrange for personnel to establish a Yangshan base branch on Divine Tree Island, and the island’s resources must be collectively managed and used according to Yangshan’s unified plan. Do you agree?"

Liang Minru and Lu Dayou exchanged a look of joy.

Compared to handing over the heart and brain cores, this is nothing.

The two couldn’t help but feel deeply grateful to Liang Yuan.

Liang Minru immediately stood up and bowed to Liang Yuan: "Mr. Liang, from now on we join Yangshan and become a part of Yangshan. You may freely use the island’s resources."

"Mr. Liang, as long as you ask in the future, if we can do it, we won’t refuse!" Lu Dayou also promised, beating his chest.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Your words alone are enough. Alright, it’s not early, go and introduce yourselves to the people outside. Everyone should follow me; I’ll take you home."
