Tang Haofei was brave and powerful, practically unrivaled in the world. However, this did not change one fact—Tang Haofei was merely a pure martial artist.
This was the same for Wen Yu, who was also just a pure martial artist. But this was not a derogatory term; both of them invested their time and energy in self-improvement. And the fact was that immense strength could indeed crush all difficulties. However, some trivial matters were not necessarily within the reach of absolute strength.
Take the Eternal Sky City, for instance.
After the first sequence ranking battle, Tang Haofei obtained the Eternal Sky City, and after that, he never paid attention to this ultimate weapon again.
A city, a flying city—yes, it looked beautiful. Yet, not to mention the enormous effort and capability required to manage a city, even if Tang Haofei managed the Eternal Sky City well, what good would it do? Would it enhance physical attributes, or help him in fights (it indeed could at that time, but no one had thought of this)?
For a martial artist, even a city was not as important as enhancing one's own strength! This applied equally to Wen Yu. If the sovereign had given the Eternal Sky City to Wen Yu, he would only treat it as a place to stay, or perhaps exchange it for some good things with the military…
In the eyes of Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, things that did not enhance their strength were seen as useless!
So at that time, Tang Haofei decisively handed over the Eternal Sky City to Lin Haifeng for management, along with all permissions. This was called maximizing benefits; after all, Tang Haofei could not manage the Eternal Sky City well. Letting Lin Haifeng do it was undoubtedly a wise choice.
And indeed, it turned out that the presence of the Eternal Sky City contributed significantly to the status of Beijing today.
But the past was the past, and the present was the present. Back then, Tang Haofei and Lin Haifeng were in love, but now Tang Er wanted nothing more than to rip Lin Haifeng's head off!
Moreover, the fact was that Tang Haofei had never considered the issue of the Eternal Sky City’s permissions. In Tang Er's view, the Eternal Sky City was a gift from the sovereign; it was his possession, something that no one could take away. But Lin Haifeng did not think the same way.
After gaining control permissions of the Eternal Sky City, Lin Haifeng, that old fox, immediately recognized its significant strategic importance. For someone with a strong desire for control, capable of considering plans like the "Sequence Two Control Plan," "Sea King Control Plan," "Skyry Control Plan," and even the "Ten Thousand Races Control Plan," it was indeed safest to keep the Eternal Sky City in his hands.
Thus, Lin Haifeng avoided Tang Haofei and took full advantage of the Eternal Sky City—programming, artificial intelligence, and even developing the rune system, all of which were piled onto the Eternal Sky City. When Tang Haofei was sealed, Lin Haifeng became even bolder, and now, this backup plan was decisively activated by Lin Haifeng.
The fact proved that giving something to you was one thing; whether you could hold onto it was another. Now, the Eternal Sky City belonged to Lin, not Tang…
"Insufficient permissions, failure to close the teleportation channel of the Eternal Sky City."
This was the notification sound that appeared in Tang Er's mind.
But it was much simpler for Lin Haifeng...
"Unknown permissions activated, requesting to close the teleportation channel of the Eternal Sky City, now intercepted."
Originally, the highest authority of the Eternal Sky City was in Tang Haofei's hands. However, what was once regarded as the highest authority had long been kicked off its pedestal by Lin Haifeng. Now, the highest control authority over the Eternal Sky City had been implanted in the form of a rune in the position of Lin Haifeng's heart!
Therefore, the struggle between Tang Er and Lin Haifeng over the Eternal Sky City had an obvious outcome.
