The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Wu You's true form sat upright on the blazing golden throne, the silver-white energy in his palms still flowing regularly, and a new batch of talisman swords were taking shape, falling, and stacking.

His hands didn't stop moving, but most of his consciousness had left the surface of the forming rune swords and was probing in another direction.

He suddenly remembered that there was someone inside him that he could consult.

Regarding the true purpose of constantly invading the real world, the God of Beasts, as a deity of the Corpse Realm, should have some information, even if he doesn't know the specific details.

Without any hesitation, Wu You's true form, atop the divine throne, directly addressed a slumbering deity in his mind:

"Old Wan, Old Wan, are you still there?"

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Wu You continued trying: "Old Wan! Wake up! The God of a Thousand Faces has arrived!"

Even after he said that, the hoarse voice inside him still didn't respond.

Seeing this, Wu You could only withdraw his thoughts and did not try again.

He sighed, realizing that the God of Beasts was indeed in a deep slumber. He estimated that he would only have a chance to ask the God of a Thousand Faces and the God of Lust why they had invaded this world when the God of Beasts woke up on his own.

. . .

Meanwhile, Wang Run's phone call outside the reception room was also coming to an end.

"Okay, so you have preserved samples, right? Then hurry up and bring the samples back! We'll talk more when we get to the hospital!"

A moment later, with a click, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

Wang Run walked in, apologetic, his face still showing the lingering effects of dealing with an emergency, but his tone had returned to the calm of a receptionist: "I'm really sorry, a colleague has made some important discoveries and insisted on calling to report to me."

Wu You turned his gaze away from the doorway and nodded.

Thanks to his enhanced senses, he had just heard the entire conversation and knew what Wang Run meant by the important discovery.

However, he did not pursue the details or steer the conversation in that direction. Instead, he talked to Wang Run about the establishment of the Talisman Sword Research Group and the "Basic Sword Techniques of Martial Arts" Research Group.

His clone will also be permanently stationed at the research institute. If there are any research discoveries about the Xuanming Domain, he will be able to know about them immediately without having to rush.

Although he was controlling his second clone to discuss the establishment of a research group with the director of the research institute, Wu You's main body was thinking about something else: Now that [Xuanming Heaven] has encountered a problem, the Xuanming Domain cannot be closed. He has already reduced the size of the Xuanming Domain to a minimum to reduce the consumption of sword energy in his body. However, the Xuanming Domain does not consume much energy to begin with, and with [Lihen Heaven] constantly providing sword energy from afar, even if he keeps the Xuanming Domain at a relatively large size, it will not affect the circulation of sword energy in his main body, nor will it affect his wholesale production of low- to mid-level (referring to seventh and eighth-level) talisman swords.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it might be possible to maintain the Xuanming Domain within a suitable range in order to observe the awakening of ordinary people within the Xuanming Domain.

If the speculation is true, that is, that everyone in this world possesses some kind of talent and has the potential to awaken it, then under the long-term influence of the Xuanming Domain, replenishing the vitality within their bodies, everyone should be able to awaken.

Even if some people still cannot awaken due to other reasons, the proportion of awakened individuals must be extremely high.

"Hmm, if even half of them could awaken..."

Wu You set a standard for himself in his heart: half, that is, 50%!

If half of the ordinary people who were not originally awakened were to awaken their abilities under the influence of the Xuanming Domain, then his guess would most likely be correct!

Everyone in this world does indeed possess some unique talent! And there truly exists some mysterious thing, factor, or influence in this world that can give birth to unique talents in everyone!

This is also a method of reverse verification.

Upon realizing this, Wu You's main body on the divine throne stirred his mind, and the black rain curtain, which originally only covered a county area centered on his main body, suddenly expanded, instantly covering nearly a third of the province.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, in Lanhe City, Xilin Province.

On the open ground in front of the Bureau of Investigation building, the last batch of support team members were jumping out of the helicopter cabin.

The propellers were still slowly slowing down overhead, swirling up and releasing the dust from the ground, creating a layer of floating particles in the light of the setting sun.

The orange-red light spread in from the west, casting long shadows of the men in black trench coats across the ground at an angle.

They had just finished wrapping up their support mission and returned to Lanhe City from Yunshang Province.

Fortunately, the sudden appearance of the mysterious black rain restored their condition, so the support team members did not suffer any particularly serious injuries. At most, they suffered some superficial wounds, which did not damage their health.

Moreover, after a period of rest, their physical strength had recovered to about 70-80%.

As for the summary report on this support mission, the squad leaders had already completed it while they were still in the helicopter.

Most of the team members dispersed after landing, walking in twos and threes towards the exit. Some were discussing what to eat for dinner, while others patted each other on the shoulder as a farewell.

But there are exceptions.

"See you tomorrow, Sister Lin!"

"Linlin, let's head back now!"

Bye-bye, see you tomorrow!

Hua Linlin stood still and nodded to each of the people who greeted her.

After doing all this, she didn't go straight home, but instead turned around and walked towards the Bureau of Investigation building.

Even while she was still in the helicopter, her mind was filled with the image of that figure that had suddenly appeared in the sky, a figure that gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

Her intuition told her that the figure might be the person she was thinking of!

"That's a projection of a corpse-type god..."

"If that figure really was him..."

"So how is he now...?"

"Is he alright...?"

"No, I don't have the necessary permissions, but I have to at least ask..."

Hua Linlin hadn't thought in detail about just how strong that divine projection, which even the heads of the provincial investigation bureaus of the three southeastern provinces couldn't handle, was, or why the person she was thinking about possessed the strength to contend with that divine projection, and why he would go to fight that divine projection alone.

Her thoughts were simple and straightforward: was that person alright? Was he safe and sound?
