"Spatial anchor?"
In the quiet ditation chamber of the Martial Hall, Chen Feng was taken aback by Chairman Li Yun's words.
He was inexplicably reminded of the Riftsea Canyon in the Dead Crow Secret Realm, where the sealed Abyssal Sea Passage lay hidden.
Could that be a spatial anchor?
"Spatial anchors are special markings left behind when Evil God Angels tear through space, consuming a certain amount of their power."
"Councilor Chen, do you recall the incident in Niduo Kingdom's Capital?"
Oh?
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as mories flooded back.
After killing the Divine Martial Alliance Leader, Niduo Kingdom's Capital had nearly been engulfed by the Black Tide.
Though the spatial rift had eventually healed, a persistent Void Black Spot remained.
His heart chilled, and Chairman Li Yun, his face grim, nodded slowly.
"Niduo Kingdom's Capital is currently heavily garrisoned because a spatial anchor was left there."
"Ancient Taiduo Civilization records indicate that these anchors are extrely difficult to eradicate and allow the Black Tide to descend upon the world at a lower cost."
In other words, a large-scale Black Tide Disaster could erupt there at any mont?
Chen Feng understood the implications and finally grasped why the ard forces stationed in Niduo Kingdom's Capital were several levels higher than those in Suojia City.
"What about Nanjiang?"
"So, the Heavenly River and the Eastern Sea Secret Realm both have similar Void Black Spot markings?"
Chen Feng picked up his tea and took a sip. He had already learned that the Eastern Sea Secret Realm was the location of another Central City, situated in the easternmost part of the Red Nation.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a virtual blue light flashed.
Chairman Li Yun nodded, and Chu Shihong, who had been following, quickly tapped his wristband to project a holographic screen.
Beneath a vast azure sky dotted with drifting white clouds, a colossal silver rainbow hung suspended. Upon closer inspection, it revealed itself to be a wide, flowing river.
Within its depths, stars seed to swirl, creating a breathtaking spectacle that defied the world's physical laws.
"This is... the Heavenly River?"
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed. He had previously assud the Heavenly River was rely a symbolic na, but now he realized it was literally a river in the sky.
The river floated in midair, with a thousand-ter waterfall cascading down from the heavens like a pillar of light.
Both aircraft and warships seed insignificant at this mont, re twinkling specks of light like hidden stars.
"The Heavenly River remains shrouded in mystery to this day," Chu Shihong explained. "According to historical records, this Secret Realm already existed during the Ancient Taiduo Civilization."
As he spoke, the image on the light screen began to rise.
"The Heavenly River contains nurous extraordinary phenona, including the discovery of the Life Source Liquid. However, it is also an extrely dangerous place."
As he finished speaking, the image froze.
Above the vast Heavenly River, a black hole over a dozen ters in diater hung suspended. Black streaks like spiderwebs scarred the surrounding space, showing no signs of healing. Black Tide Creatures periodically surged from the black hole, partially diverting the Heavenly River's flow.
"Is this also a spatial anchor?" Chen Feng asked, surprised. The Void Black Spot in Niduo Kingdom's Capital paled in comparison.
"Yes," Chairman Li Yun nodded. Chu Shihong then switched the screen to a new image.
An endless expanse of azure ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. Yet, within this vastness, a long, slender black rift forcibly cleaved the ocean in two. Several warships hovered above, and nurous aircraft carrier battle groups stood guard nearby.
"These two spatial anchor points are exceptionally unique; they cannot be erased."
"Therefore, both Secret Realms require a Divine General to personally guard them, just in case."
Chairman Li Yun's tone carried an inexplicable weight, and Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. The more he learned about the Black Tide, the clearer its terrifying nature beca.
But...
"What level are Divine Generals, exactly?"
"How do they compare to Legendary-grade beings?"
He was deeply curious about this, as Chen Yun's explanation had left him with a lingering sense of confusion. If Divine Generals were rely Rainbow Iron-Grade devices, how could they possibly possess the formidable power Han Chao had described? And if not, how could they withstand the energy amplification of several cities?
"Divine Generals exist beyond the realm of modification technology," Chairman Li Yun replied, shaking his head gently. His answer was unexpected. "They are divinely favored beings, wielding a grand power beyond human comprehension."
"Only those chosen can beco one of them, capable of rivaling even the most powerful angels under the Evil God's command."
Chen Feng's expression froze.
Capable of rivaling the most powerful angels?
The King of Angels? Demigods?
And "divinely favored," "chosen"? What did that even an?
Questions surged through his mind, but Chairman Li Yun offered no further explanation.
Instead of reacting with surprise, Chen Feng rely smiled faintly, remained seated, picked up his teacup, and slowly sipped his tea.
Sensing sothing amiss, Chen Feng realized, "Speaker Li, you didn't tell all this just for casual conversation, did you?"
He asked, knowing that the secret of the Black Tide Anchor Point and the unique nature of the Divine Generals were clearly not ant for widespread knowledge. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.ɴet
After pondering for a mont, he realized that Chairman Li Yun wouldn't have shared such sensitive information solely out of personal friendship.
"Hehe, I knew I couldn't fool you," Speaker Li chuckled like an old fox, then set down his teacup and explained, "Actually, Divine General He asked to pass this ssage on to you."
"Divine General He?" Chen Feng's gaze sharpened. He then learned that this was the current supre commander of the Red Guard.
"Divine General He has been stationed in Red City for many years and is the only woman among the three Divine Generals."
"She is a true woman of valor, and before relinquishing her post as Marshal of the East Sea Garrison, she repelled nurous Black Tide invasions."
Though the explanation was brief, it left no room for underestimation.
The very title "Divine General" and the tales of repelling multiple Black Tide invasions spoke volus.
As if sensing Chen Feng's lingering doubts, Speaker Li's smile faded. "While the Divine Generals are undeniably powerful, they cannot be easily mobilized."
"Each Legendary figure represents a greater hope in the fight against the Black Tide. Naturally, you are worthy of knowing these secrets that concern the survival of world civilization."
"Also, Divine General He hopes that one day you will push martial arts to even greater heights."
Chairman Li Yun's gaze burned with anticipation as he added, "Legendary Technology is undoubtedly powerful, but it's not sothing ordinary people can withstand."
"chanical modification carries the risk of ntal shock and consciousness suppression, while biological modification risks genetic backlash and cellular collapse."
"Even a Flying General, one in a million, can be severely injured by these processes, and not even the Virtual Deep Sea can revive or restore them."
"Therefore, if the Martial Arts World could produce several more Legendary-grade martial artists, it would be a truly inspiring developnt."
So that's it.
Chen Feng's remaining doubts began to dissipate.
"By the way, speaking of Councilor Chen's White Giant friend..." Chairman Li Yun suddenly changed the subject, his tone laden with aning. "Representative Xia asked to convey her gratitude. She is deeply grateful for his assistance."
"Regardless of his past identity, the Red Guard and the military will always keep their doors open to him, welcoming him to join at any ti."
After making this promise and declaration, Chen Feng's expression remained subtle and noncommittal.
He didn't know why the Red City leadership hadn't pursued the White Giant's identity further. But judging by this rather perfunctory expression of gratitude, it seed they still harbored so reservations.
"I will pass along the ssage," Chen Feng replied with a slight nod, his expression unchanged.
Chairman Li Yun didn't press the matter further and prepared to take his leave.
Seeing this, Chen Feng and Chu Shihong took the initiative to see off their guests, watching the aircraft depart.
For a mont, the bustling Martial Hall returned to its usual tranquility.
Chen Feng and Chu Shihong stood side by side, gazing at the reconstruction efforts in the city ruins.
Large Flying Cars and construction equipnt arrived one after another, as collapsed skyscrapers were demolished and cleared away.
The earth, still scarred by spreading cracks, was being repaired by busy workers wearing hard hats.
"This disaster... it's truly heartbreaking," Chu Shihong sighed, shaking his head.
As the Nanjiang City Council representative, he had already invested considerable effort and developed a deep emotional attachnt to the city.
The desolate, ruined landscape stood in stark contrast to its forr prosperity, not to ntion the lives lost.
"It will get better," Chen Feng said calmly, his gaze fixed on the city square, where nurous camouflage tents had been erected on the vacant ground.
Most survivors had recovered from the initial shock of the disaster.
Though uncertainty about the future and worries about losing their hos lingered on their faces, the city's reconstruction had already received governnt support. Subsequent special funds and resettlent plans were gradually being implented.
The powers of the Yun Port and Radiant Light Secret Realms were converging here, offering their assistance.
With various parties taking the lead and corporations and governnt agencies working together, Chen Feng believed it wouldn't be long before Nanjiang regained its forr glory.
And these displaced people will return to their forr peaceful lives.
"I hope so," Chu Shihong murmured, his gaze drifting back to the sealed-off forbidden zone where the Black Tide had erupted.
Aircraft and fighter jets, tanks and armored vehicles.
The warships soaring through the sky resembled giant beasts in flight. Though their steel exteriors were nacing, they instilled a profound sense of security and confidence.
Red Wave Energy's Riverside Building had beco the primary fortress for troop mobilization. Seeing this, Chen Feng asked about the situation.
"The General Federation has issued an order. The Han Family's cris are grave and they have violated the law. The Red Guard has been dispatched to arrest and detain them all."
"As for Red Wave Energy... while considering the impact on countless families, an internal purge has already been conducted. The company is now under complete governnt control."
Chu Shihong's tone was somber, tinged with a hint of regret. A ga Corporation of such imnse scale had t its end.
Chen Feng remained relatively calm upon hearing this, unsurprised by the outco.
Whether it was colluding with the Roth Family, assassinating a provincial Chief Councilor, or having ties to the Evil God Cult, indirectly causing the final Black Tide Disaster, the Han Family of Red Wave Energy had committed unforgivable cris. According to the law, they deserved execution.
But...
His gaze flickered as he thought of the one fish that had slipped through the net.
"What about Han Mingchuan?"
