While Jiang Wentai was communicating with that Space System Awakener, Zhou Muxi's phone also received relevant estimated information from the Imperial Observatory. As soon as she looked at it, she was alarmed; the anticipated energy burst metrics were even higher than those of the world's largest earthquake, Chile's 9.5-magnitude quake, and the burst would completely occur at the surface level.

If it successfully falls, the resulting massive waves would at least inundate the coastal areas of North America and Northern Europe, further triggering a global tsunami. After completely submerging island nations like Great Britain and Japan, it would cause terrifying destruction to other continents' coastal areas and most likely spread to inland regions, equivalent to a miniature version of an apocalyptic flood.

Fortunately, it is the Spiritual Qi Recovery Era now, so there is no need for something like Noah's Ark. We just need to find some relevant high-level Water Element Awakeners to significantly slow down or even eliminate the potential tsunami.

However, because of the Empire's vast territory and long coastline, a large number of Water Element Awakeners will definitely be needed to intercept in segments to resolve such a great disaster. The manpower and resources required will certainly come with a hefty cost. Therefore, if it can be prevented, it would be best to do so.

After Jiang Wentai finished the call, a tall woman with a circle of strange golden rings on her arm forcibly traversed the department's space barrier and appeared silently in Zhou Muxi's office.

Zhou Muxi carefully examined the other party—long hair, fair, creamy skin, exquisite features, coupled with a voluptuous figure. Most importantly, she looked younger—like she just graduated from college.

No matter from which angle, she was undoubtedly a perfect person. Her Fifth Tier strength gave her a unique aura, akin to a Demoted Immortal descending to the Mortal World.

Well, in terms of power, she was even far stronger than a Demoted Immortal. Describing her as a god unfairly punished and sent to the mortal world as a Demoted Immortal seemed more of an insult.

After all, the Fifth Tier is the True Immortal realm. From a strength perspective, she was more like a goddess descended through a Saint Avatar into the Main Material World, out of place with everything around, with an overwhelming presence, making it hard to look away from her.

"What's the situation? Tell me in detail."

Gu Mingyue, who was initially despondent due to Zhang Yanhang's psychic attack, didn't want to come. She just wanted to lie low like a salted fish, but after hearing that the situation seemed serious, she couldn't help but come.

"To be specific, it seems, maybe, possibly, perhaps, my Awakener friend is trying to clear the Permanent Teleportation Channel on Greenland all at once using the method of Meteorite Fall."

Actually, I don't even know if we qualify as friends; mainly, we've only met a couple of times and known each other for over a week. But he's really nice, often giving me Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. I'm able to advance so quickly this time thanks to the two giant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he gave me."

Since she had only known him for over a week, Zhou Muxi, with her poor social skills, wasn't sure if she could persuade him.

"This friend you mentioned, is he your boyfriend?"

The more Gu Mingyue listened, the stranger it sounded, hmm, the described words seemed really odd. Mainly her intuition told her there might be something fishy about this, at least something was amiss.

Though Zhou Muxi occasionally had such thoughts due to marriage pressure, she had to cover them in front of others, "How could that be? My friend Zhang Yanhang..."

Before Zhou Muxi could finish, Gu Mingyue interrupted with surprise, "Wait... what did you say just now? Zhang Yanhang?"

"Yes, my friend is called Zhang Yanhang, is there a problem?"

For some reason, Zhou Muxi suddenly felt nervous because, from the moment she mentioned Zhang Yanhang's name, she inexplicably sensed a completely different aura from Gu Mingyue. The feeling was, how to say, very complex, hard to describe.

"I happen to know an Awakener named Zhang Yanhang. If there's not a second high-level Awakener with the same name in Qin Island City, then it seems we might know the same Zhang Yanhang. But I've known Zhang Yanhang for over two months now and am very familiar with him."

For some complicated psychological reason, Gu Mingyue subconsciously emphasized the time she had known Zhang Yanhang, possibly because it would aid in persuading him later. Yes, absolutely for such reasons, with no personal emotions mixed in.

Oh no! I've become a backup!

For some reason, this strange thought suddenly popped into Zhou Muxi's mind, but she quickly dismissed it. Clearly, they had pure male-female relations, having only been touched on the butt, touched the feet, and seen her body, so why should such odd thoughts arise? It's truly inappropriate.

"Zhang Yanhang just mentioned a Third Tier Female Awakener working in a department to me before. You said your quick advancement to Fourth Tier was with his help. I thought he was making it up, but now it seems you're the one he mentioned... Awakened woman, right?"

Gu Mingyue almost let slip the word 'woman', but in the end, she forcibly held it back.

"Oh, if nothing goes wrong, it seems the Zhang Yanhang we both know is indeed the same person."

Gu Mingyue didn't expect Zhang Yanhang's 'network' to be so extensive, even knowing a Fifth Tier Awakener. Most importantly, it seemed their relationship was 'not bad'.

Noticing the atmosphere in this small office becoming a bit strange, Jiang Wentai quickly smoothed things over, "Time is urgent. Since Group Leader Gu also happens to know this Awakener, you and Chief Zhou can both try to persuade him well; talk about everything else later."

"Group Leader?"

Gu Mingyue was newly promoted to manager due to advancing to Fourth Tier and had never heard of a character like Gu Mingyue in the department.

"Group Leader Gu is an out-staff member who only comes to assist with important tasks during emergencies. The barrier of our office building was arranged with her help."

Jiang Wentai briefly introduced Gu Mingyue's situation.

"I see, no wonder she could directly teleport into the office building."

Zhou Muxi nodded.

"Since time is pressing, let's get going quickly."

Gu Mingyue gently waved her hand, and the two figures instantly disappeared without a trace.

......

October 31st, Saturday, the sixth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the second day since Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 10:22 in the morning, above Greenland in the Main World.

Looking at the terrifying figure like a mountain above, with its four-headed, eight-armed, naked upper body in a fierce appearance, Gu Mingyue's eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and she couldn't help blurting out a curse, "Is this really just Fourth Tier? Are you calling this a Fourth Tier?! Forget about Fourth Tier, I'd believe it if you told me it was Sixth Tier!"

Looking into the distance at Zhang Yanhang's chiseled muscle lines, oh wait, the gigantic version of Zhang Yanhang she's familiar with, even though it's as huge as a mountain, Zhou Muxi couldn't help shivering slightly due to its terrifying oppressive presence.

"He wasn't like this before, only about three hundred meters tall, and he didn't have four heads and eight arms, just one head and two arms, looking quite normal. Maybe it's because his power surged after he was promoted to Fourth Tier, turning him into this form."

Zhou Muxi analyzed simply.

"Even three hundred meters is not normal, okay! The crucial thing is, his current descent speed is up to tens of kilometers per second. Just getting close requires teleportation. Before you can even speak, he's gone far away again. How do you persuade like that?"

Seeing Zhang Yanhang rapidly descending at a speed visible to the naked eye, surrounded by huge flames due to high-speed friction with the atmosphere like a demon god's descent, Gu Mingyue's eyelid couldn't help twitching again.

"But it's still necessary to try..."

Zhou Muxi, having just been promoted to Chief, had developed a slight sense of responsibility and mission due to the benefits and treatments involved.

"Alright, you're right."

Gu Mingyue nodded and immediately teleported with Zhou Muxi directly to Zhang Yanhang's side.

But as expected, when they just teleported over, before they could stand firm, they saw Zhang Yanhang's enormous figure already far away amid huge howling winds.

But the first attempt's failure was quite normal, so Gu Mingyue immediately tried a second attempt with Zhou Muxi, and this time, she set up a space barrier in front of Zhang Yanhang's falling trajectory to try and hinder his forward progress.

However, when Gu Mingyue really teleported over, she still saw Zhang Yanhang's broad back far away once again.

And the space barrier she had high hopes for was easily penetrated by Zhang Yanhang like a wave of water. She could even clearly feel that the space barrier itself hadn't suffered any destruction but was directly passed through by Zhang Yanhang like a non-existent illusion.

This result left Gu Mingyue very surprised. Normally, there would only be two outcomes, either the space barrier blocked Zhang Yanhang or Zhang Yanhang forcibly broke through the space barrier. But what is this now? Zhang Yanhang went through, yet the space barrier is intact?

What is this supposed to mean?

Blocked, but not entirely blocked?

It was the first time Gu Mingyue encountered such a bizarre situation.

"I happen to have an array plate of a parallel space with me, should we try forcibly switching Zhang Yanhang to a parallel space?"

Zhou Muxi took out a small box from her eyes.

Seeing for the first time an Awakened taking items out from their eyes, even Gu Mingyue couldn't help feeling an inexplicable discomfort in her eyes—it was just too bizarre.

"Let me handle it, after all, I'm a Fifth Tier Awakened; the effect of blocking should be better."

Gu Mingyue took the box from Zhou Muxi's hands and proficiently manipulated the array plate within.

After forcibly activating it quickly, Gu Mingyue immediately teleported to a location where Zhang Yanhang was about to reach, according to his descent trajectory, and adopted a predictive method to place the parallel space directly over Zhang Yanhang's head.

Perhaps due to the rather good reaction speed of a Fifth Tier Awakened, the parallel space really precisely covered Zhang Yanhang, and in passing, it also covered Gu Mingyue and Zhou Muxi. After all, even if the obstruction succeeded, a conversation would surely be necessary, so the two of them naturally needed to enter the parallel space as well.

Then Gu Mingyue discovered, yes, it did cover, but the issue was it only covered the two of them; only she and Zhou Muxi entered the parallel space, while Zhang Yanhang passed through the location of the parallel space as if it were nothing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yanhang's descent speed was not impeded in the slightest, and there were no signs of damage or effect to the parallel space. He passed through the location as if he were a vast and unreal illusion, continuing to fall according to the predetermined trajectory.

But judging from the powerful oppressive sensation and the huge howling sound, Zhang Yanhang's massive and terrifying shape, like a mountain, was undoubtedly real.

Therefore, upon realizing Zhang Yanhang seemed to have a forced immunity to space abilities, Gu Mingyue immediately unraveled the parallel space and returned to the Main World.

For some reason, she was suddenly reminded of an incident, where she seemed to have mentioned to Zhang Yanhang something about wanting to use space abilities to give him a beating. Could it be he acquired a skill or special item to forcibly become immune to space abilities because of such a trivial matter? Could it really be? Could someone really be that petty?

Moreover, Gu Mingyue remembered saying before she would fly over and give him a beating using her high-level awakened speed, but now seeing Zhang Yanhang with speeds of tens of kilometers per second, even with teleporting, she could barely keep up—she realized the joke was on her; she was the frog at the bottom of the well, completely ignorant about what true speed meant.

"At Third Tier, I could normally use parallel space to enclose Zhang Yanhang, but at Fourth Tier, it doesn't work anymore. Did Zhang Yanhang gain a related ability when promoting to Fourth Tier?"

Zhou Muxi undoubtedly felt utterly shocked at the current Zhang Yanhang, whose strength in all aspects had entirely surpassed her imagination—particularly the speed of growth, which was terrifying indeed. In just a day or two, he grew from a relatively normal height of three hundred meters to now over two thousand meters in this four-headed, eight-armed demon god form.
