90: Chapter 90 I have conjunctivitis; I can't stand looking at the floating islands.

When the Floating Island appeared at the site of the defense battle, everyone was dumbfounded.

A behemoth over four thousand meters in diameter slowly emerged from the rift of the teleportation portal. The oppressive feeling, like dark clouds looming over, and the Floating Island appearing directly overhead left everyone breathless.

Standing beneath this Floating Island, they felt incredibly minuscule; it felt as if the Floating Island could drop at any moment and crush them into fine powder.

The lords remained silent for a long time, their hearts feeling so heavy they could barely breathe.

While everyone was still wondering if this thing had been sent by the system, someone activated an appraisal to see exactly what the Floating Island was.

Miyamoto Takeshi muttered under his breath, "Appraisal!"

A line of text then appeared above the Floating Island.

[Owner: Great Xia Xu Xuan]

When Xu Xuan's name appeared, Miyamoto Takeshi felt completely unwell.

"This Floating Island... is... is that Xu Xuan kid's territory?"

When the other surrounding lords heard this news, their eyes widened, their pupils shaking with shock.

The American lord, Jack, pointed at the island overhead: "Bullshit! You're telling me this island is Xu Xuan's territory? Holy shit bro! DAMN!"

"WTF!! What the hell, Xu Xuan's territory is in the sky?"

South Korea's Li Shunyao's mental defense crumbled instantly: "Shibal... how is this possible? Why can he bring his own territory while we can't?"

"System, we want Floating Islands too! What the hell, this is unfair!" Miyamoto Takeshi nearly pointed at the system's nose and cursed; it was just ridiculous.

Why were they all just ground-bound chickens while Xu Xuan could fly over with his own territory? Was there something wrong with this picture?

While the foreign lords were wailing and howling, even those from Great Xia were stunned.

Zhou Wu and his sister, Zhou Mei, stared at Xu Xuan's Floating Island for a long time, their mouths hanging open, almost forgetting how to breathe.

"Brother, are we seeing things? Xu Xuan brought his own territory to participate in the defense battle?"

Zhou Mei rubbed her eyes, unsure if she was hallucinating.

Everyone else had arrived with infantry and cavalry to set up camp and were planning how to build defensive works.

And yet...

What the hell was that Floating Island overhead?

Zhou Wu was also stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but gasp: "He must have received some special reward that unlocked the Floating Island."

"I've come down with a case of red-eye disease... Xu Xuan's island makes me so envious."

Zhou Wu admitted that at that moment, he was extremely jealous; he also desperately wanted a Floating Island.

Mainly because it was too cool—being able to bring an entire city along was something no lord could resist.

While everyone's attention was focused on the Floating Island, the system's voice rang out in everyone's minds.

[There are 6 hours left until the Undead Scourge begins. All lords participating in the Human Race Defense Battle, please prepare your defenses immediately.]

[At that time, the undead will descend from the Void Road-Bridge. All lords, please hold out until the final moment and block today's undead offensive.]

Hearing this, everyone finally began to observe the surrounding terrain.

The place they were currently in should still be on the Lord Continent.

However, the surrounding terrain was a bit peculiar; the lords had been teleported to the seaside, but ahead of them was a stretch of steep cliffs, and beyond that was an Endless Sea.

If they opened the map now, they could see the description of this place.

[Map]

[Death Plateau][Void Road-Bridge][Endless Sea]

The place they were standing was the Death Plateau, and the cliff ahead, near the Endless Sea, was the Void Road-Bridge.

When the time came, the Undead Scourge would pour incessantly from the Void Road-Bridge to this location; the 100 lords needed to withstand the Undead Race's offensive for an entire day.

Once they understood the task, the lords began to discuss the upcoming battle strategy.

Those 99 lords basically gathered together, while the troops they brought were scattered around.

Looking down from the sky, there were 99 army formations with flags of various colors fluttering; the soldiers brought by each lord wore different equipment.

They established a lord headquarters on a hillside located toward the rear.

The 99 lords sat on the ground in the wasteland, sizing each other up.

These were all celebrities on the ladder ranking, the world's top 100 lords in terms of personal strength.

It could be seen that most of the top 100 lords were between 18 and 50 years old, with 90% being between 18 and 35.

People in this age group have a strong ability to accept new things and adapt to new environments faster, allowing them to quickly seize resources on the Lord Continent.

However, they watched for a long time and never saw Xu Xuan come down.

Miyamoto Takeshi was a bit displeased: "Why isn't Xu Xuan coming? Who does he think he is?"

"Exactly! We've all arrived, yet Xu Xuan is still staying on his Floating Island. Is that kid too ugly to show his face?" Li Shunyao was also grumbling; Xu Xuan's Floating Island made him so envious he was about to explode.

The siblings Zhou Wu and Zhou Mei looked at each other and discussed in low voices.

"Brother, these people have a huge problem with Xu Xuan."

"Professional rivals are enemies. Xu Xuan frequently takes first kills and has snatched away many resources; they're bound to be jealous."

Zhou Wu's expression remained calm. "We shouldn't let the foreigners set the pace. Don't turn your spear against our own people, okay?"

"I know that, brother. After all, we and Xu Xuan are both from Great Xia; we should help each other even more."

Clearly, Zhou Wu's values were quite normal; he didn't succumb to jealousy like the others.

After all, in this situation, it was better to unite with Xu Xuan, who was also from the Great Xia faction, rather than being swayed by the foreigners' words and becoming hostile toward their own compatriot.

However, seeing that Xu Xuan was still staying on his island, the other lords began to get annoyed.

[Chat Channel]

[Miyamoto Takeshi: Hey! We're having a battle meeting, Xu Xuan, get down here now!]

[Li Shunyao: Shibal, stop showing off your Floating Island and hurry up for the meeting. You're the only one we're waiting for.]

[Jack: Quite the ego. 99 of us lords have to wait for you.]

Everyone was waiting for Xu Xuan to come down, also wanting to see what this kid actually looked like.

But Xu Xuan simply replied in the chat channel.

[Xu Xuan: You guys have your meeting; it has nothing to do with me. My Floating Island doesn't need to go down to fight.]

Xu Xuan's single sentence made many of the foreign lords see red, their entire faces flushing with rage.

Currently on the Floating Island, Xu Xuan calmly watched the situation below.

It wasn't that he was being aloof, but in Xu Xuan's eyes, he should focus his energy on his own island rather than coordinating with the people on the ground.

At this time, Hu Zi Mei curiously asked: "My Lord, aren't we going to coordinate with our allies?"

Xu Xuan, however, had a look that said he had seen through it all.

"I'm not going. They'll just ask me to share the Floating Island with them so they can board the island to fight a defensive battle. Just watch."

Just as Xu Xuan finished speaking, that Korean, Li Shunyao, sure enough, said something.

[Li Shunyao: Your island is so big, it's perfect for setting up a defensive line. Let us on the island too.]
