The Upper Zone
Description
The Upper Zone is a special real-world region capable of extending the lifespan of its residents. It is divided into a base, middle and top layer; merely breathing the air of the base layer feels refreshing, and even without intensive training people living there grow physically stronger, rivaling Henglian masters. By rumor, lifespans reach about 150 years in the base layer, 180 in the middle, and 200 in the top.
Fewer than 60 cities worldwide host an Upper Zone, and in Shi Feng's country only three first-tier mega-cities have one — among them Yuantian City. Entry comes either by buying a slot from the Green God Company (or obtaining a reserved slot from someone who holds one) or by passing a Mental Path assessment the company administers, with residents granted graded authority governing how much they may trade and purchase.
