Chapter 135 Uprising

Inside the Safety Committee Building.

Gu Shen was meditating.

After being escorted into the building in the morning and cooperating with some investigations, he immersed himself in the world of "Spring's Breath." There were 35 hours left on the isolation countdown.

"Hey... non-committee members are not allowed to enter this place!"

Du Wei's voice sounded in the distance.

Gu Shen opened his eyes.

"Sorry... if I remember correctly, the Tribunal should have the right to investigate prisoners, right?"

A soft, feminine voice immediately rang out.

"I just want to see... my dear junior brother."

Light, slow footsteps.

And then.

Gu Shen saw a familiar face: Han Dang.

Du Wei stood beside Han Dang, coldly mocking, "Mr. Han, when did you and Gu Shen become so close?"

Han Dang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said indifferently, "Sorry, Gu Shen and I aren't familiar... I'm here to visit Lian Zhou."

Du Wei's expression changed slightly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my dear junior brother. This time, I'll be staying in this building for a while..."

Han Dang raised his head and said lightly, "Yes, about thirty hours or so."

The implication of these words was very clear.

He was there to keep an eye on the Safety Committee.

There was almost no doubt that Gu Shen's mental investigation report would be fine.

And Zhu Wang's backup plan was simple.

They couldn't detain him for long.

But they could at least make him stay in the building for a full 48 hours obediently.

Du Wei's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he asked, "Does Mr. Han suspect that we will bend the law for personal gain?"

"What are you talking about?" Han Dang shrugged and said indifferently, "I didn't say that... Nagano is a place that values evidence. Mr. Du, please don't slander me."

Sitting in the detention room, Gu Shen slowly frowned.

Just 48 hours...

Was it necessary?

They even sent Han Dang to keep watch?

Of course, he didn't believe that Han Dang was there to visit Lian Zhou. Ever since the incident with the rookie competition last year was exposed, Zhu Wang's faction had distanced themselves from Lian Zhou. Had they suddenly remembered their "dear junior brother" after not visiting him for a whole year?

Sure enough, it was just a pretense.

Han Dang didn't even bother to find out where Lian Zhou was. He just found a place to sit down and rest in the reception area... pretending to rest before visiting. Obviously, he wanted to make sure his "detention time" was sufficient.

This was very strange.

Inside the Safety Committee Building, people were coming and going, and all the transcendents were busy with their own affairs. At that moment, a distant, muffled rumble sounded from the far sky.

The sound attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Shen quietly released Chi Huo.

He silently "observed" the entire floor. The committee enforcers who had been busy earlier all changed their expressions after hearing the loud noise. They stopped what they were doing... the sound seemed to herald the birth of some extremely bad news. Sure enough, a few seconds later, large numbers of transcendents in the Safety Committee Building began to leave.

Clearly, an emergency mission had arisen.

And Gu Shen also noticed... when the rumbling sounded, the only person whose expression was different from the others was Han Dang, who was sitting at the end of the corridor, waiting with his eyes closed.

Han Dang simply raised his eyebrows slightly.

The sound seemed to be something he had expected.

After hearing the loud noise, Du Wei received a message. He looked down to check it, and then his expression turned pale in an instant. He immediately reacted and walked quickly toward Gu Shen.

Even faster than Du Wei was Chu Ling:

"Just now, a major explosion occurred in Qingqiu Cemetery."

The Deep Sea received a massive amount of information feedback about the explosion.

...

...

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

Blazing light swirled and rolled.

Thunderclouds parted before it.

The scene above Qingqiu Cemetery was immediately captured by the [Wind Eyes] outside.

However, an anomaly of this scale could be clearly seen even by ordinary people from a dozen miles away.

The monitoring instruments suspended outside the cemetery, used to detect anomalies in transcendent source matter, only lasted for a dozen seconds under the violent shock before breaking apart.

The only image returned to the central control database was a blindingly white, blazing holy light.

And the transcendent individuals from the five major families who were slightly closer to the cemetery were overturned by the vast shockwave. Although the terrifying blazing light did not break through the cemetery's array patterns, the powerful sound pressure overflowed, carrying a hurricane that surged toward the world outside the cemetery like a tsunami.

About a hundred seconds.

The Fire Seed Barrier was completely formed and entered a "stable state."

Outside Qingqiu Cemetery, however, was a scene of devastation. The land was plowed, and hundreds of ravines spread out densely. Viewed from above, these ravines spread outward, like drooping tentacles that had slapped the ground.

And the seemingly "stable" barrier, one could feel the "raging" of the suspended blazing light simply by approaching it.

In less than five minutes.

Dozens of heavy helicopters arrived in the sky above Qingqiu Cemetery. To avoid being attacked by a secondary eruption of the [Fire Seed Barrier], these helicopters maintained a very far distance of several thousand meters for observation...

No one knew what had happened to the cemetery.

After the images and pictures of the cemetery were uploaded to the [Deep Sea] database, the five major families and the three major institutions were shaken and tried to analyze the underlying cause of the blazing light eruption in the cemetery.

This was the "land of miracles" that countless people in Nagano were proud of, maintaining absolute stability and tranquility for nearly twenty years.

Had the transcendent array patterns of Qingqiu erupted?

Or... had the power of the Fire Seed awakened?

In the clouds, a heavy helicopter hovered in the thunderclouds above the cemetery. The rotor blades stirred in the thunderous clouds. The side door of the cabin was open, and a powerful wind pressure surged in, but it was blocked by an even more powerful mental force.

"Get closer."

Gu Qilin expanded his "Infinite Measure" domain.

He stared expressionlessly at the center of the storm and issued this order.

Luo Yu, who was piloting the heavy aircraft, did not hesitate upon hearing this. He immediately pushed the control stick, advancing against the hurricane.

The next moment.

The heavy aircraft's surface immediately made a dull collapsing sound. The metal skin began to dent. Even within the Infinite Measure domain, Luo Yu still felt the resistance brought by the "advance."

Because the hurricane sweeping in at this moment was mixed with "vast" transcendent source matter. A wisp of such wind was sharper than a knife!

If it landed on a person, it could instantly tear them into a bloody mess.

Gu Qilin said coldly, "Continue."

"Old Master, the aftershocks of the explosion are still spreading..."

Luo Yu put on his windproof goggles and tightly gripped the control stick. There was no hint of retreat on his face, but he said in a deep voice, "Advancing rashly again might encounter the next wave of aftershocks..."

All the heavy aircraft were watching.

Waiting a few hours might make the environment here a little better.

"There's no time."

The Old Master shook his head and said solemnly, "We must find out the cause of this explosion before anyone else... Don't worry about getting hurt, I'll take care of everything."

A few minutes ago, when he learned of the major explosion in Qingqiu Cemetery, everyone was stunned. Gu Qilin was the first to regain his composure. He immediately found Luo Yu and launched an immediate attack.

The Old Master had a very bad premonition in his heart.

The Gu family had put in a great deal of effort to build Qingqiu Cemetery... and he had checked every blueprint to ensure that there would be no mistakes in any part of this unprecedentedly grand project.

Now, this major explosion could not be due to the array patterns going out of control.

As for Chino...

He didn't believe that the tombkeeper would make such a mistake.

He couldn't wait for [Deep Sea] to provide an analysis.

He wanted to see the cause for himself now.

And the only way... was to get closer to that "Blazing Light Barrier."

Luo Yu took a deep breath.

For some reason, as he approached the vast Blazing Light Barrier, his fingers began to tremble... This was an extremely abnormal phenomenon. Although Luo Yu was young, he had been with the command post for ten years and had personally participated in hundreds of missions. He could be described as a veteran of countless battles.

Trembling hands?

That was impossible.

It seemed that a powerful spirit had descended upon his soul.

He subconsciously wanted to leave...

"To hell with it! ... Advance!"

Luo Yu roared inwardly, retracted his trembling hand, replaced it with the iron hand covered by a glove, and suddenly exerted force, pressing the control stick all the way to the bottom. Resisting the huge wind pressure, the heavy aircraft crashed into the huge Blazing Light Barrier like a meteorite.

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

This scene stunned all the other heavy aircraft hovering outside the sky!

Although the power of this explosion only "overflowed" from the cemetery a little.

But after seeing the scene transmitted by the [Wind Eyes], no one was not shocked... At this moment, everyone believed that the Blazing Light cocoon was an untouchable "disaster."

Getting close would subject one to the shock of a powerful wind pressure attack.

And doing so was tantamount to... seeking death!

Gu Qilin's Infinite Measure domain instantly contracted. He no longer protected the entire heavy aircraft, but narrowed it down to the main cockpit, only covering himself and Luo Yu... The moment the Blazing Light struck, the Old Master closed his eyes. His mental force spread out. The moment the heavy aircraft crashed into the Fire Seed Barrier, he unleashed his thick mental force, trying to penetrate the thick layer of "light."

At that moment.

He frowned.

In the endless light, he seemed to... see something.

With a "bang!"

The helicopter, weighing twenty tons, suddenly exploded five hundred meters above the Blazing Light Barrier.

Thunder fell, descending to the earth, tearing the night sky apart. However, Qingqiu was already dazzling enough. The Blazing Light that opened up half the sky seemed like a sea of fire descending to the world, rendering the night as bright as day. As a result, the thunder fell like a white core in the flames.

Compared to the previous vast shock.

The explosion of this heavy fighter was nothing.

It was like... a firework.

...

...

Federal Safety Committee Building.

Top floor.

This was the most important and highest-authority place in the Safety Committee.

Zhou Wei's expression was a little pale. He stared at the image projected on the screen—beneath the Blazing Light shroud in Qingqiu Cemetery, a heavy aircraft exploded directly, and the scattered fuselage shells turned into fireworks.

As far as he knew...

That heavy aircraft was personally piloted by Gu Qilin and Luo Yu.

Under normal circumstances, a plane crash would not pose any danger to a titled transcendent.

But under these circumstances, it was hard to say.

The Blazing Light inside Qingqiu Cemetery should be a large amount of transcendent source matter...

"Ding ling ling!"

Before he could worry about his old friend, an alarm suddenly sounded in the top-floor control room of the building.

Within seconds, sharp alarms echoed continuously throughout the building.

The control room was the highest-level secret room in the Safety Committee, sealed with strong logic materials.

Inside... were stored some extremely confidential items.

For example, the Fire Seed Dreams.

At this moment, in the control room, there were more than twenty safes. Each safe individually stored and protected the "rookie competition" champion's reward, the Fire Seed Dream that countless people dreamed of.

And at this moment, these safes began to shake.

Even with layers of purple-silver isolation and protection, there was still an invisible summoning force that resonated with the "Fire Seed Dreams" inside the safes. Under the loud alarms, strands of bright light and fire actively floated outward, melting the purple-silver safes, and then strands by strands, they gathered toward the distance.

When Zhou Wei arrived, the walls on the top floor of the Safety Committee Building had already been scorched with dense small holes. In the distant night sky, dozens of brilliant flames could be seen.

Those flames were extremely fast, like shooting stars in the night.

Fleeting.

Were they... attracted by the power of Qingqiu?

"The Fire Seed Dreams... actively escaped?!"

Zhou Wei's expression was shocked and stunned.

He felt a headache.

This was the most important thing Qingqiu had left to Nagano!

Every year, countless geniuses participated in the rookie competition to compete for the Fire Seed Dreams, and if it weren't for the threshold limit set by Lord Godseat... perhaps many strong individuals would have joined the competition.

Who wouldn't want to comprehend the mental dream realm left by "Godseat"?

Even failure... was worth it!

And he couldn't understand this phenomenon, and could only explain it with "Qingqiu attraction"... But what to do next?

How should he explain the whereabouts of these "Fire Seed Dreams" to the outside world?

The most precious things in the Safety Committee's control room had escaped on their own?

In the long night.

Blazing flames, like shooting stars, pierced through the night sky.

Many people saw this scene.

The transcendents in Nagano City did not yet know what had happened. They had only heard a distant muffled sound... and then dozens of flames streaked across the night sky. It was truly a beautiful scene.

Some people clasped their hands together.

Some people pulled their partners to close their eyes and pray together.

And these shooting stars shot toward the Blazing Light in the cemetery at the northern end of Nagano.

The dazzling "holy light" vibrated out twenty or more ripples.

Strands of Fire Seed Dreams pierced into the light shield of the cemetery, dragging long tails of flame.

The Fire Seed Dreams returned to the Fire Seed.

At this moment...

The vibrating cemetery no longer seemed to emit destructive shock forces.

From afar, one could see that the "cemetery" built of countless golden lights seemed to slowly melt.

Outside the huge light cocoon, a... golden door opened.
