Before coming to "Atlantis," Chen Fei had already made an appointment with Lord Landon. The latter is now even busier, even if he has assembled a think tank team. But he's not only facing the Louis Industrial Company and its related sub-production and management units but also nearly a million people and two sizable "Skylight" cities.

Coincidentally, Chen Xiao'er usually goes around causing chaos and has no administrative or managerial ability in this area, so it all falls on Louis Landon's shoulders, as if this lord has supported and supported until he turned himself into a fool.

"Did Habulav let you off?"

Louis Landon withdrew his gaze from the various documents in front of him, most of which were electronic, with a few being paper-based. This "few" was only relative, as the actual weight still needed to be measured in kilograms.

With his intelligence channels, Louis Landon was much more informed about the happenings in Habulav than the likes of Lu Man. The phrase "let you off" was somewhat teasing.

"It's not that he let me off; it's that I let Habulav off."

Chen Fei leaned on the back of the chair opposite Louis Landon's large desk and sat down, facing each other across the rectangular table.

Most of Habulav, located in the heart of the Ocean Continent, had turned into ruins. Despite the "flood" outbreak of Mutants, this could not be blamed on natural disasters but rather on human calamities.

If Chen Fei had not used his spiritual power to bring countless Mutants into the "Boundary Pearl"'s Life Space to feed the "Life Tree," even if the civil unrest in Habulav had been quelled, it would have become a paradise for the Mutants by now.

For sovereignties to retake this city, it would take at least the top ten ranked sovereign nations to dispatch troops. Otherwise, the domestic sovereign powers of the Ocean Continent could barely protect themselves, let alone have the strength to reclaim Habulav.

Louis Landon said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to solve the large-scale 'flood' of Mutants!"

Because Habulav was cleared in advance and the vast majority of people transferred to Socotra Island, the advanced permissions of the city's management AI and automatic defense system fell into Chen Fei's hands. The process and conclusion of the Mutant "flood" were known only at the beginning by others, but the outcome was unclear, just considered as the result of the efforts of the First Airship Combat Cluster.

After all, Chen Fei's Airship Combat Cluster had undergone the trials of the Cangqiong Star Slan Dynasty's local civil war and the combat test against the "Sagali" civilization. Chen Fei himself was an underdog who emerged halfway, with war experience mostly akin to child-play wars between military contractors, far inferior to the formal, active regular troops of the Blue Star Civilization. However, the tactics of the Airship Cluster were not makeshift but received guidance from professionals. Putting aside Chen Fei, allowing the Airships to freely exert themselves led to the High Barrier Peninsula sovereignty's Airship Cluster, which held superiority in numbers, nearly suffering a complete defeat.

Thus, the notion that the First Airship Combat Cluster, along with thousands of Combat Mechs on the ground, handled the Habulav Mutant "flood," found almost universal recognition. As for the whereabouts of the Mutant corpses, they could be explained as being dragged away and eaten by other Mutants, as this was their daily life, or stored in Chen Fei's "Spatial Branding" to prevent large-scale corpse decomposition outside the city and the spread of disease.

Chen Fei's secret possession of the "Boundary Pearl" and the "Life Tree" as trump cards was completely unforeseen and an unconventional state, almost unimaginable even to the most imaginative minds.

"It was just a fortunate timing. Right now, I can show you something, 'Adam', three-dimensional holographic projection of 'Atlantis' from above, limited to 'Skylight'."

Chen Fei snapped his fingers.

The office floor of Louis Landon, which he used, still had three-dimensional holographic projection equipment. The replica of "Adam" also served as the city's management AI, controlling the Central Building's equipment without needing any other operations.

The images came from satellites in the zero-gravity zone at the top of Life Space. Since continental plates are not proper planets, lacking rotation, the atmosphere is thin, almost vacuum-like. Objects at this altitude basically remain stationary, and without mechanical structures inside, their attitude changes minimally. The lack of planetary rotation means no large-scale weather changes, so the satellite's aerial perspective is particularly clear.

"Display the scene within a 10 kilometers radius outside 'Skylight', increase the brightness!"

Chen Fei tapped the three-dimensional holographic projection of "Atlantis," and the surrounding virtual topographical environment abruptly appeared. The crisscrossing lava rivers had long since disappeared, and some green was surprisingly distributed over the scorched black fire-formed rock surface.

"Huh? When did the lava disappear?"

Louis Landon looked amazed at the holographic screen. His first reaction was that the green color he saw should be certain minerals, such as malachite. Most gemstones originated from lava, like diamonds, jade, and lapis lazuli, so the occasional appearance of multicolored condense products was not surprising.

For a period, both he and the city's residents were monitoring the situation outside for any worthwhile observations; otherwise, there was nothing much to see—unceasing lava rivers, ever-shifting blackened ground, and pitch-black sky where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face. However, this wasn't a priority, as the scenery within 'Skylight' was far more attention-grabbing.

"The crust has stabilized for some time, though the atmospheric composition is still adjusting, temporarily unsuitable for humans to venture out unprotected."

Chen Fei magnified the resolution again, distinctly making out that the greens were patches of moss and lichen, and there was even some tender grass.

Microorganisms and lower plants, carried by the air currents, had already started to settle around "Atlantis." A small amount of oxygen had begun to appear in the atmosphere but not enough for animals to breathe. Lower plants, however, could withstand such harsh conditions; besides photosynthesis, plants also needed oxygen.

"What has happened to this Life Space?"

Suddenly realizing something, Louis Landon was taken aback, unaware of when the Life Space outside 'Skylight' had undergone such a transformation.

My goodness, a Life Space that could accommodate not just one 'Skylight' city; in terms of space size, it might rival the "Spatial Branding" on Chen Fei's hands?

Previously, what Louis Landon knew from Chen Fei was that S-Class Space Ability User's psi skill was involved. Now it seems the limitations of the psi skill have been exceeded, and the entire Life Space seems to be utilized.

Space is independent, whether it's a Life Space with complete spatial rules or an incomplete storage space. Related alchemical artifacts and psi skills cannot create new spaces out of thin air; they can only anchor to existing spaces using certain rules. Chen Fei's "Stargate" takes advantage of this, allowing access to this vast Life Space without relying on the "Boundary Pearl."

The "Stargate" connecting to the "Boundary Pearl's" Life Space also introduced critical vulnerabilities. To compensate, the Life Space's coordinate data existed only in Chen Fei's mind. None of the "Adam" duplicates retained backups. Upon each use, they had to be reloaded into the "Stargate," with no external storage. Even the "Atlantis" miniature Stargate communication device had specific security measures — once power is cut off or restarted, all coordinate data erases. Otherwise, losing such a significant Life Space just for convenience is not what "Seed Nest" McKenny intended when crafting this alchemical artifact for Chen Fei.

"The original 'Seed Nest' McKenny gave me a gift. I planted it, then it sprouted, took root, and started impacting this Life Space, just as you can see now."

Chen Fei continued to enhance the "Atlantis" surrounding area, extending as far as the other city, "Landen."
