Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Countless soap bubble-like things floated overhead.

The moment Zhou Baiyu looked up at the sky, he saw a beautiful spectacle, the sunlight refracted off the soap bubbles, presenting a rainbow of colors, making the sky incredibly brilliant.

This place, called the Land of Joy, was different from the similarly named land of darkness.

It was truly thriving and bustling, with scantily clad ladies and gentlemen dancing a light-footed dance on the streets.

The style of the dance resembled tap dancing, and groups of children sang cheerful tunes, their voices so joyful, as if they were playing music for the lively dance steps.

The streets were filled with a sweet scent that whetted one's appetite. Following the aroma, one could see a huge castle.

It was hard to imagine how many delicacies were inside, and the castle itself seemed to be pieced together from countless foods.

Bread, cake, cheese, roasted meat, steak... Of course, these were just the appearance of the building and not the material; this was not a castle made of food from a fairy tale.

No one would doubt that the food in this castle was inexhaustible. Otherwise, how could it emit the fragrance that pervaded the entire Land of Joy?

"Oh! Do they have lobsters today? Hahaha, that's amazing!"

"Line up, line up, don't worry, there's food for everyone. Everyone is so happy today, how could Mr. Luo Zan let us go hungry?"

"Yay, yay, yay! Let's get some food, I must be the happiest one today!"

Whether it was men or women, adults or children, everyone had the most joyful smiles on their faces.

Each building here was not like the modern skyscrapers, because although there were only tens of thousands of people, the area was vast, which meant nearly everyone had their own house and yard.

This was a huge city. And this city floated in the sky.

It didn't belong to Hechuan, the Imperial City, Songjiang, Linxiang, or any other place.

It seemed to be floating over a certain sea area.

Guang Tongchen noticed that they seemed to have been transported to the central square, which was probably a place for everyone to gather for shopping and revelry.

In the very center of the square, there was a huge statue, a figure clad in a cloak, completely covered, and a staircase not far from the statue that went straight up into the clouds.

Floating stairs.

One could only see each step but not the supporting structures.

Just like a sky palace, it seemed quite fitting with this kingdom.

There was a huge bell on the staircase.

The bell was so large that its outline could be seen even above the clouds.

One could hardly imagine what kind of person and by what principles such a huge bell, floating above the clouds, was crafted.

Guang Tongchen, Dreaming of Changes, Wu Xin, Jiang Xianwu...

All four pioneers were immersed in the beauty of the Land of Joy.

"This place... it's just like heaven! It's so fantastical, Jiang Xianwu, did you see? These girls are so glowing!" Wu Xin said in disbelief.

"But isn't it strange? Why is there a paradise for humans in such an era?" Dreaming of Changes was cautious.

The word paradise is not an exaggeration for this place.

After exchanging glances with Zhou Baiyu, Guang Tongchen voiced his inner doubts,

"Where does the food come from?"

"This place floats in the air, right? Is there an ocean below?"

"Though appearing during the early post-apocalyptic era, floating kingdoms are not strange, but the food surely can't materialize out of thin air, right?"

Zhou Baiyu had been silent all along.

He had discovered something very terrifying.

All the buildings, environmental decorations, toys, stalls, and the decorations on people's clothes—

none could mutate.

The notes were the same: items blessed by a god, hard to see their true nature and essence, but they indeed protected the humans here.

"Hey, you guys are new here, aren't you? Welcome to the Land of Joy! My task today is to welcome newcomers! Great, I have new work progress to report!"

The young girl, who was only covered by a few leaves over key parts, revealed her small fangs and smiled radiantly.

Her skin was tanned by the sun, and she looked full of vitality and energy.

Zhou Baiyu and others might have gotten used to the attire here, which was as breezy as it gets.

But her smile really felt healing.

"I'm Jiang Lu, new friends. Could you tell me your names? I will remember them for sure!"

"Jiang Xianwu."

"Guang."

"Dreaming."

"Wu Xin."

Without revealing their clearly non-local names, Guang Tongchen and Dreaming of Changes shortened their own names.

"Wow, you have the surname Jiang too, what a coincidence. Welcome again to the Land of Joy. No matter where you come from, you can relax here. Don't be so stiff, smile!"

Jiang Lu said cheerfully.

Zhou Baiyu and others were confused about this place, which was indeed different from all the previously visited places. He felt compelled to say,

"Jiang Lu, nice to meet you. Did you grow up here?"

Jiang Lu smiled and shook her head:

"No, there are very few of us who have always been here. Everyone came here from the previous apocalypse, displaced but hopeful!"
