It was impossible for a building to be constructed and finished within a single working day. The exhaustion of manual labor was just a single part of the problem, and the crux lay within the materials. An Fei knew that she was aware of her lack of knowledge regarding the Shattered Star Continent’s technical abilities, but it seemed infeasible that …

As the elderly man deeply savored the humid and sorrowful air lingering over the demolished city, the devastated people hunkered underneath roused themselves into movement. An Fei watched as men and women, elderly and children alike, arise from their uncomfortable positions of bleak refuge, and drag themselves towards the remnants of the nearest warehouse.
