Chapter 682: Neon Defense System
Ten days later, after a concentrated effort, the Neon Defense System was set up.
Floating along the void, it integrated three defense modules, guarding them from all directions.
Watching it swat every dark beast that came close like flies, everyone was full of smiles.
"Great! Now we no longer have to worry about danger!"
Like a taut string that could finally be let out, they slowly calmed down as a sense of safety returned.
Even the tier 8 war gods fighting at the perimeter felt like they could breathe again.
Now, unless a tide of dark beasts appeared large enough to overwhelm the Neon Defense System, they would be as safe as if they were in the Sun Star Void Area.
"Good. Let’s start building the teleportation station." Nash ordered, gathering all the materials needed.
With a secure place to work, the teleportation station moved to the top of the agenda.
Furthermore, unlike before, the tier 8 war gods would also come to lend their help.
Although they didn’t have the proficiency of trained professionals, their mastery of law made them an asset to any project.
With the teleportation station underway, time began to pass.

50 days later...
After everyone’s hard work, a task that should have taken a year was finished in one and a half months.
"Barely enough time!"
With the teleportation station complete, they still had about a month to move out of their territory.
"Haha, it’s finally done!"
"Great, we can finally leave this forsaken place!"
"All I want to do when I get back is sleep and eat..."
Drained with fatigue, everyone couldn’t even muster the energy to celebrate.
Although the Neon Defense System was protecting everyone, a quiet undercurrent of worry still couldn’t be fully erased from their minds.
Coupled with the relentless pace, knowing that if they didn’t finish in time, the people counting on them would be left in a dire situation, they had to push themselves to the limits.
As a result, even as higher-tier powerhouses, they felt a weariness that had seeped deep into their bones.
"You can’t go back yet. You still have to build more defensive modules for the Neon Defense System." Nash told them with a wry smile.
Although the dark beasts hadn’t breached their defense system during this time, their numbers had begun to increase.
Once the gate to the dark plane was opened, those numbers might surge beyond imagination.
If they didn’t add more defensive modules now, all their work might come to nothing.
"We understand, Supreme Leader. We’ll push through a little longer."
Although they wanted nothing more than to rest, they understood the importance of their task.
To secure this critical area, they had to build as many defensive modules as possible.
"Don’t worry, if you get tired, take a short break. I only needed you to build twelve additional defensive modules before the end of the month."
"Twelve defensive modules?"
Hearing that number, they were left speechless. How could Nash tell them to rest in the same breath and then hand them such a grueling quota?
Even working continuously for a month, they could only produce nine or ten at most, let alone twelve.
"You have tier 8 war gods as helpers. What is there you can’t do?"
Although it was something of a waste to use these guardians for miscellaneous labor, they were remarkably efficient.
With just a brief set of instructions, they could execute any task flawlessly and at incredible speed.
Realizing this, the crew couldn’t help but glance over at the war gods standing beside them like dutiful workers.
Nash really had the nerve to put these powerhouses to work like common laborers.
"Alright, it’s time for me to leave. I’ll leave the Void Pulse here in case something comes up."
"Safe travels, Supreme Leader..."

Returning to the Altier Arcane Tower, Nash quickly transferred to the Sun Star Void Area.
During this time, Camilla and Elizabeth had already cleared the 10th floor.
So whenever they needed something, they could simply teleport to him.
Arriving back in the Sun Star Void Area, Nash summoned the remaining rank 2 leaders.
"How are the temporary refuge shelters coming along? Are they complete?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Yes, Supreme Leader. Every citizen can enter at any time."
The temporary refuges didn’t need to be anything elaborate; they simply had to ease the spatial distortion that the citizens would experience during the transfer.
Without any complications, the construction had been completed ahead of schedule.
"Then prepare the fleet. We’ll head to the domain-level teleportation array."
According to the map provided to them, the domain-level teleportation array was located dozens of domain territories away.
To arrive in time, they would need to use the Azure Heaven Public Trading Zone as a relay point to get within range.
As for using the Altier Arcane Tower as a shortcut, he didn’t have enough space to bring an entire fleet with him.
On the other hand, traveling without a fleet left them vulnerable to ambushes along the way.
The domain-level teleportation station was the gathering point for all top-level and high-level teams that needed to evacuate the region.
Without a sufficient show of force, they risked being forcefully absorbed into another faction.
Soon, assembling a fleet of ten thousand tier 8 battleships, they began their march toward the Azure Heaven Public Trading Zone.

Arriving at the trading zone, Marcellin welcomed them like honored guests.
"Nash, it seems you’re ready to leave..." Marcellin sighed.
Over the past two months, they had delivered hundreds of millions of dark energy purification devices.
With such a vast supply of purification devices, the process of opening the gate to the dark plane had gone incredibly smoothly.
If not for the treaty, they would have wanted to keep Nash here and let him continue production indefinitely.
"Don’t worry, we’ve already built a prototype of a public trading zone. In three to four months at most, it will be completed." Nash said with a smile.
With the teleportation station as the foundation and the Breathing Earth Loom as the land base, they could construct a massive public trading zone in no time.
"Do you need assistance? We can provide manpower and materials." Marcellin offered.
The sooner the public trading zone was built, the sooner they could resume trading the purification devices.
"If you have manpower to spare, we would be very grateful for the help." Nash’s eyes lit up.
In truth, building the public trading zone and stabilizing their territory after the transfer was a monumental amount of work.
If a major faction could help them, it would be a tremendous advantage.
