While it is true that the immortal-like young man's lovers are asking for him to just leave there in their residence as he travels across the entire continent, it is not really a plan that is going to be enacted for now, especially since they still feel like they haven't had enough of their beloved, in fact, they feel like they will never have enough of him.

This is also something that the immortal-like young man understands, opting to stay in for now especially since there are people that will soon be arriving in this place, the first ever residence of his budding city, the residents of the Frontier City.

"Then, I'll leave for now" looking at the eight heavenly goddesses looking at him with such care and affection in their eyes, the immortal-like young man said in farewell as he waves his hand, entering a spatial portal that appears in front of him, the beauties also waving him farewell as he steps into the other side of the portal.

"Are all of them ready now?" standing at the very top of her abode located right in the heart of the Frontier City, a valiant-looking, blond beauty asks as she heard a step from behind her, watching the people gathering down below around her home, her other people, the maidservants she trained for battle, guiding the elderlies and the young ones within the people.

"City Lord Astaria, the entire population of the Frontier City is prepared to move to City Lord Su's side now" the maidservant that just arrives reported, prompting the blond beauty to nod in satisfaction.

Looking towards her people once again, the valiant-looking beauty couldn't help but shake her head as she never expected that the influence of the immortal-like young man is more than enough to compete with her influence in her own city, the people supporting him just as much as they are supporting her, giving her pleasant, yet conflicting emotions as her people acknowledges the person she like.

A few days had passed since Astaria and Su Xiaotian finishes their hellish training, at the end of their training, the valiant-looking blond beauty was met by her most trusted aides in battle, the ones coming from the common folk and the nobility alike, both sides convincing her to allow the movement of the Frontier City to the immortal-like young man's side, especially since they hold no good feeling for this place except for the grievance of losing their loved ones to the beast tide that they swore to destroy, said beast tide gone now due to the total death of the Calamity Beast.

"We can always hold the memory of the dead to treasure them in our heart, City Lord, but this place will only remind us of the tragedy they've suffered, not the glory of triumph and victories" one of her aides said to her causing her to fall into a daze, such words prompting her to contemplate for quite a long while until she finally let go of the shred of reluctance she felt for leaving this world, as well as conquering the fear she feels towards the immortal-like young man's mother, whom he is always talking about with her.

Seeing the numerous people moving around down below, the valiant-looking blond beauty descends from her spot, moving towards an open space near the people, the organized and disciplined manner of the citizen of this place being displayed as none of them rushed towards the beauty despite her descending alone, merely remaining on their place as they slightly bow as a sign of respect.

"My people, we all have suffered from the tragedies of the Grand Line Valley, some of us losing our families, some our lovers, some our valued friends…" looking around as she saw the solemn face that the citizen of her city is making, Astaria couldn't help but nod as she feels how much they value her words, causing her to smile before she continues her speech.

"However, these days are done now, we're going to a brighter future, one where we can continue fighting for our own future in the bigger stage, no longer just staying as a defender without any purpose" she added, piquing the interest of the people of her city, all of them smiling as they already know what is the reason of all of them gathering in there, and the words of their City Lord only serves to excite them more.

"We'll go to City Lord Su's side from now on as this is now our time to assist him after all the help he had graced us and will grace us with" she ended her words with these, causing the entire gathering of all the people of the Frontier City to shout loudly in joyous cheering, chanting the name of the two city lords without stop.

{That was a well done speech} looking at her celebrating people, the valiant-looking blonde beauty couldn't help but feel surprised as she heard a familiar voice echoing in her mind, making her look all around the area in search of the voice's owner, a figure that she often sees in her sleep as well as whenever she daydreams, a figure that makes her annoyed and happy, makes her feel all sorts of confusing emotion all at the same time.

As her eyes finally finishes looking around and failing to see the immortal-like young man, said young man popped out just right in front of her causing her to just stand there stiffly in pleasant surprise, the towering body of the young man making her look up quite a bit just for her to see the handsome smiling face looking directly at hers.

Seeing the young man, the citizens of the Frontier City start chanting loudly once again, screaming his name in fanatic worship as if they have seen the god they believed in, such fanaticism making even the immortal-like young man, who always thought of himself as someone who had seen quite a bit, particularly with the fact that he has memories of his past lives, quite surprised.

This surprise only last for a brief moment though, causing it to go completely unnoticed by everyone else but him, this brief moment already enough for him to regain his bearing and start doing what he is supposed to do right now, and that is asking one final question to these people.

"People of the Frontier City… thank you for showing such hospitality to an outsider like me…" pausing for a while as he heard people talking, the immortal-like young man smiles towards them as he heard their words, all of them being along the line of, 'City Lord Su is not an outsider' as well as 'If anyone say he is one, then we will throw them out of the city', making him laugh as he continues listening to them.

"Alright alright, enough of the jokes everyone…" finally thinking that he had built a pretty good atmosphere to speak, the immortal-like young man breaks the laughter as he speaks once again, the citizen of the Frontier City staring at him with a serious look in their eyes, feeling like their new City Lord is going to announce something important to them.
