Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three hurriedly gathered around Wei Chen, their eyes fixed on a silver orb spinning within a green array. The green array was composed of one hundred and eight oval circles, appearing incredibly dazzling.
"Wei Chenyu, is this the focal point of the formation?" Uncle asked in astonishment.
Wei Chen nodded, saying, "Yes, the formation is too large and requires a Formation Array to activate the focal point. This is my original creation; I haven't tested it before, so I don't know if it will work."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt as if they had swallowed dead flies...
What the hell? He hasn't done this before? This is his first attempt?
Their gazes toward Wei Chen were filled with helplessness at being toyed with.
But now that it had come to this, what could they do? They could only silently pray for the formation to operate with the focal point and activate the massive Formation Array surrounding the Lost City. As long as they broke through the restraints left by that Supreme-Level Expert, the Lost City could easily be absorbed into Wei Chen's True God World.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three thought to themselves: "Wei Chen, our Divine Power and Green Energy have been siphoned off by you so much. If you don’t put in some effort to get this formation working and help us move the Lost City, wouldn’t that be too unfair?"
Indeed, if Wei Chen ultimately failed, the resentment from Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three toward him would be immense. All the previous conditions would be nullified; they wouldn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"Wei Chenyu, your original formation should be quite powerful, right? We have great confidence in you; please don’t let us down!" Uncle said awkwardly as he looked at Wei Chen. He feared that if Wei Chen failed, all their previous investment of Divine Power and Green Energy would go to waste...
Wei Chen smiled lightly. "Don't worry; at this point, it shouldn't fail."
Wei Chen was indeed quite confident, but he needed to reassure Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three. Only after success would they experience profound surprise.
"Is there anything else we need to prepare?" Uncle asked anxiously, wishing they could move the Lost City right away and break through the shackles left by that Supreme-Level Expert.
"We still need to wait a bit longer," Wei Chen said lightly. "Once this Formation Array is fully charged, the energy at the center will explode, which will activate the surrounding formations of the Lost City. It can't be done manually; that would lead to mistakes."
After hearing Wei Chen's explanation, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three instantly felt that the formation Wei Chen had set up was sophisticated and impressive. The idea of using a Formation Array to trigger the massive core Formation Array sounded extraordinary.
It wasn't just Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three who thought highly of Wei Chen; even Killing God Senior approached him and asked through voice transmission, "Young one, is this formation you set up really that remarkable?"
"Senior, do you think I would brag about something like this?" Wei Chen replied, feeling speechless. If even Killing God Senior was acting this way, could it be that his formation was truly formidable?
What Wei Chen didn't realize was that, unknowingly, his casual actions had pioneered a new model in the Formation Realm. Before him, who had ever attempted such an innovation? He simply acted on his thoughts, believing it was feasible without overthinking it. This situation had never occurred in the history of the Formation Realm. While stacking formations was already impressive, using a formation to trigger the core was something ordinary Formation Masters wouldn't even dare to imagine, let alone put into practice.
Wei Chen's courage to implement such ideas stemmed from two factors: on one hand, his skills in Formation Assignment were indeed strong enough to combine simple formations into complex ones seamlessly; on the other hand, he had not undergone systematic training under a formal formation master and thus was unafraid to experiment with novel combinations. If it were disciples of traditional Formation Masters, they likely wouldn't have such creative ideas.
Success is not merely a matter of chance; often it is inevitable. Wei Chen's innate talent in formations ensured that his skills would not be lacking. However, what allowed him to reach this point and inadvertently create a new Formation System was a combination of luck and boldness.
The formation designed to move the Lost City relied precisely on such innovative boldness. The restraints left by the Supreme-Level Expert required a powerful formation to break through. Since Wei Chen couldn't find such a strong formation and his own Divine Realm wasn't sufficient to support one either, the formation he devised wasn't as simple as Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three perceived.
At the outermost edge of the Lost City lay a transfer formation capable of mid-range teleportation—estimated to move objects within its bounds ten miles away—enough to escape the area restricted by the Supreme-Level Expert. Surrounding the Lost City were hundreds of breakthrough Formation Arrays; all these formations were intended to pierce through the restraints left by the Supreme-Level Expert. Wei Chen didn't inform Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three about this; he simply felt it unnecessary. His formations weren't overly advanced; by combining some lower-level formations together, he could still unleash tremendous power.
That was Wei Chen's strength in Formation Assignment.
What ordinary people couldn't achieve, Wei Chen could.
He had great confidence in his Formation Assignment. The shackles left by the Supreme-Level Expert were specifically targeting Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three—not aimed at the Lost City itself. If such a powerful being had cast a formation over the Lost City itself, Wei Chen wouldn't have found it so easy.
Killing God Senior along with Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three waited eagerly to witness Wei Chen's miraculous formation. From a rational perspective, one might think that Wei Chen's attempt was not worth anticipating—there was a ninety-nine percent chance of failure. However, when Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three saw the confident smile on Wei Chen's face, they all felt certain that he would succeed this time.
A smile can be infectious, and Wei Chen's smile was just that. Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, and even Killing God Senior were all affected by it, deeply impressed by his mastery of formations. Especially Killing God Senior; in his "career," he had never truly admired anyone. The answer was clear—he had never bowed to anyone. Yet, Wei Chen managed to earn the respect of Killing God Senior, whose skills in formations were indeed commendable. Thus, Wei Chen became the one person who had genuinely earned Killing God Senior's admiration.
To gain the respect of Killing God Senior was, in fact, a kind of honor, wasn't it?
Seeing the expressions on Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three's faces, Wei Chen felt quite pleased. He had accumulated so much Divine Power and Green Energy and had completed a formation that was born from his imagination, validating his Formation System. Naturally, he was in a good mood.
The five of them watched as the central formation operated faster and faster, with the silver energy forming the core of the formation at its center, their eyes glued to it.
There was still some time before the core would explode and activate the Lost City’s teleportation formation. In a good mood, Wei Chen smiled and asked, “Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, where did the name 'Lost City' come from? I can't understand why it includes the word 'lost.'”
Upon hearing this, Killing God Senior also became interested and turned to look at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three.
Faced with the curious inquiries from Wei Chen and Killing God Senior, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt somewhat embarrassed. The origin of the name Lost City was something they found rather shameful…
Why was it called Lost City?
Long ago, when the force known as Lost City was first established, everyone gathered to decide on a name—something powerful and striking would be best. However, their leader—the first head of Lost City—was dealing with some troubling matters at that time and was feeling quite downcast. Thus, the two words "lost" came about…
Was this naming method embarrassing?
Regardless of how others viewed it, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three found it very shameful.
As time passed, few people knew the origin of the name "lost," but among the upper echelons of Lost City, everyone was still quite clear about it. Once someone became part of Lost City's leadership, their first lesson was to critique the name Lost City. This was meant to keep all leaders alert at all times—not to make arbitrary decisions based on their own feelings of despondency that could lead to immeasurable consequences for future generations…
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three wore expressions of embarrassment; they didn't know how to explain.
"Wei Chenyu," the name of the Lost City, we don't know where it came from; it has simply always been called that," Uncle awkwardly scratched his head full of white hair, concealing the origin of the title.
It was truly embarrassing, there was no way around it.
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said nothing more. He felt that the name Lost City had a different origin, but since Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three didn't want to discuss it, there was no point in pursuing the matter further; that would be quite impolite.
"Wei Chenyu, what about that Sea Palace you had before, the one that people from the Endless Divine Realm are fighting over? What do you plan to do with it? Are you taking it with you?" Uncle suddenly asked.
"Let's leave that Sea Palace here; let the people from the Endless Divine Realm fight over it. It will be quite lively up there," Wei Chen replied with a smile.
"But that Sea Palace is inside the Lost City. If you move the Lost City, won't the Sea Palace go with it?" Uncle asked in confusion.
Inside the Lost City, there were numerous Sea Palaces. They were essentially just palaces, but for those from the Endless Divine Realm, referring to items from the Spatial Plane of Bloodshed Shop with a divine title was not an exaggeration.
Wei Chen calmly replied, "No, that Sea Palace has already been trapped by my formation. Even if the Lost City moves, the Sea Palace will remain here."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were even more in awe of his mastery of formations; he could manipulate things like this?
Finally, after an hour of waiting, under the watchful eyes of Wei Chen and his four companions, the formation reached its peak operation, causing the silver energy sphere in the center of the formation to explode!
Silver threads shot out in all directions toward various parts of the Lost City!
