Heng An walked into the Containment Facility, his bright eyes falling upon a notice near the central hub of the disaster zone and the containment shop.
This was where news for the Containment Facility was posted, with more important information often shared here, such as discounts at the Tutu Massage Parlor today...
However, today a group of containment specialists were gathered around, looking at the words on the notice.
The content of the notice was roughly what Wen Wen had told Chu Wei, but with some parts blurred. It was designed to instill a sense of crisis in the containment specialists without revealing too much information.
Some things were not better known by more people.
"Speaking of which, those members of the hidden organizations have been hiding deeper than before. I heard they are planning a grand conspiracy."
Unlike the tense expressions of others, Heng An smiled.
As his strength grew, hunting members of hidden organizations became easier. If those fellows stopped hiding in the future, it might be a good thing for him.
Gong Bao Ding glanced at the notice and left the Containment Facility, continuing his cultivation.
At this moment, Gong Bao Ding's hair and beard were a mixture of red and yellow, and his pair of vermilion eyes resembled flickering flames.
After the barrier disappeared, his strength increased at an ever-faster pace. He was now a True Sequence level superpowered individual.
Gong Bao Ding felt no nervousness about the impending changes, nor did he alter his training plan because of them. He had always trained with the goal of becoming stronger.
In the prison cells of the disaster zone within the Containment Facility, Miao Miao Miao bounced around, searching for suitable targets.
As she grew stronger, her ability, "Beast King," could now imitate not only ordinary creatures but also mythical beings.
For example, unicorns, or... dragons!
Although she appeared to be just a delicate young girl, she was in fact a combat weapon possessing the traits of countless beasts!
Among the early members of the Containment Facility, Feng Rui Xing was the most troublesome.
He held the vast SRS Foundation. A foundation was unlike these individual powerhouses. Regardless, these fighting maniacs could survive somehow. However, it was not easy for a large organization like the foundation to recover once it suffered a severe blow.
Fortunately, the foundation was now large enough to withstand some storms.
An organization could not establish itself in this world without experiencing some trials and tribulations. What was about to happen might be an opportunity for the Containment Facility.
This announcement had made everyone in the Containment Facility tense, achieving the result Wen Wen desired.
He did not want the Containment Facility to be unprepared when the upheaval occurred.

At the center of a serene lake, there was a protruding stone with a small fissure in its center, the mark left by a inserted long sword.
Qiao Fei Ya stood on the stone, holding her long sword vertically in front of her, her eyes closed as she took deep breaths.
On the shore of the lake stood several men in armor, a woman in a long dress, and a guy tied up with ropes and hung from a tree.
They were Qiao Fei Ya's family. They had come together today to cheer Qiao Fei Ya on and, incidentally, to protect her.
Qiao Fei Ya was undergoing an important trial. If she could pass it, she would gain the power of her ancestors, break through her current realm, and become the new Knight King.
In the former Golden Eagle Region, there were two illustrious Cataclysm-level powerhouses. They supported each other and built a powerful dynasty.
Their experiences were compiled into legendary stories, which were passed down among the common folk of the Golden Eagle Region.
The legendary mage of that era had always lived reclusively. Now, he was active as a Punisher, only intervening to govern when Cataclysm-level invasions occurred.
The other Knight King, however, died young, leaving his power legacy beneath the Sacred Lake.
All descendants of the Knight Kings, once their strength reached the required standard, could attempt the trial to awaken the Knight King's power.
But until now, only Qiao Fei Ya of the Qiao Ai Er family had come close to this threshold.
However, even Qiao Fei Ya had only reached this point after the barrier shattered, and her supernormal power greatly increased.
The trial process would be long. If Qiao Fei Ya could pass it, she would break through her current realm and become the new Knight King of the Qiao Ai Er family!
Qiao Fei Ya took a deep breath and inserted her long sword into the fissure of the stone.
A golden light burst forth, shooting directly into the sky. The dark clouds overhead dispersed, revealing a starry sky.
The lake water automatically rose, forming a massive dome that enclosed Qiao Fei Ya, preventing those outside from seeing what was happening within.
The large stone beneath Qiao Fei Ya automatically opened, revealing a staircase leading underground, where the trial would take place.
As Qiao Fei Ya stepped in, the stone closed, and the lake surface returned to its calm state.
Qiao Fei Ya's father looked at the tranquil lake and a smile curled his lips. "I believe she will definitely pass the trial, because she is my daughter. Let's go back."
After speaking, he waved his hand, cutting the ropes binding the person on the tree and dragging the tied-up individual away.
The person tied up was Qiao Fei Ya's brother. He was a severe sister-complex, and upon learning that Qiao Fei Ya was undergoing a trial, he insisted on accompanying her. Without tying him up, it would be difficult for Qiao Fei Ya to conduct her trial normally.

In the Xia Fu territory, the rune array set up by Wen Wen was emitting a strong radiance.
The people living in this temporal snapshot discovered the existence of this rune array for the first time.
Within the World Rift, Lovis opened his eyes with a look of pleasant surprise.
The ritual was finally complete. He was about to enter that beautiful world.
"You losers, Lovis is going in to have fun. You can envy me, hahaha."
Lovis, who had always kept a low profile in the rift, finally shed his disguise and mocked the other Cataclysm-level individuals.
Those Cataclysm-level powerhouses roared in anger, especially the Pale Demon, who had been stranded in the rift due to Lovis's actions. He was furious.
But before these Cataclysm-level powerhouses could take any action, Lovis disappeared from their sight.
Lovis's feet landed on solid ground, and he looked around with surprise at everything before him.
Grasslands, blue skies, vibrant mountains, clear lake water...
"This, this is the world I've always dreamed of!"
For Lovis, who came from the barren Pale Forest, everything in this world seemed so beautiful. The thought of living here from now on made him incredibly happy.
He ran around the Xia Fu territory like a madman. Throughout his run, he sensed no presence of other Cataclysm-level powerhouses, meaning this world had very few, or perhaps no, Cataclysm-level individuals. Sultan Novel Network
However, he soon sensed something amiss. For some reason, this world gave him a strange sense of unreality, a feeling that stuck in his throat, preventing him from truly enjoying it.
