"National Destruction... Have such a level of supernatural event really occurred?" Director Long felt his mouth dry at this moment.

He subconsciously licked his lips and sat in a daze on the sofa.

Since he was appointed as the Dragon of the Zodiac Department, his access to official records was virtually at the highest level, not to mention that he's now even the acting leader.

But even so, Director Long had never seen any explicit records of a National Destruction Level Fierce Ghost in any files.

He didn't doubt the possibility that such events had occurred, only suspected that there wasn't a single record of them in any accessible file.

The old man's words just now basically cemented this idea.

"Hmm, the Lost Realm, to be precise, didn't happen within our mainland territory, but rather along the coastline." A touch of melancholy flashed in the old man's eyes.

Knock, knock—

Just as he was about to continue, there was a knock on the door.

The old man's melancholy disappeared instantly, replaced by a look full of authority.

"Enter."

Click—

Wu Liang, still reeking of the blood from his recent mission, strode in without any intention of cleaning himself up.

Seeing the old man's expression, he grinned and said, "Is your health still good, sir? Weren't you supposed to cultivate Brother Long? Why suddenly step up to take charge again?"

His question was filled with curiosity.

Even if he hadn't heard the conversation between Director Long and the old man just now, he could still guess the peculiarity of this supernatural event.

Why could this old man, an ordinary person, perceive a supernatural event threatening the life of Director Long, a City-Destroying Level Symbiont?

This, in itself, was a very strange situation.

Unless... he knew this supernatural event!

"Comrade Shadow, you came just in time, give us your view on this supernatural event." The old man didn't immediately give Wu Liang an order.

Instead, he picked up a folder of documents from the table and passed it to Wu Liang, waiting expressionlessly to see his reaction.

However, Wu Liang took just a few dozen seconds to finish the report document.

Then, without needing to think, he immediately said, "Firstly, this is certainly the work of the Pioneer, using a large-scale supernatural event to force the authorities to redirect their focus, buying a chance for the remaining people in the Promised Land."

"Secondly, this supernatural event seems to be at the City-Destroying Level in strength, but it's not. It seems to have room to grow, and the method of supernatural infection is probably not limited to the crying sound."

"Lastly, sir, you need to tell me what it has to do with Director Long?"

With just these three sentences, the office fell completely silent.

Director Long looked complexly at Wu Liang, who casually placed the document back on the table, his demeanor somewhat nonchalant.

At this point, Director Long even considered cracking open Wu Liang's head to see what was inside.

How could this guy gather so much information from those few sheets of paper?

The last sentence especially aligned directly with what the old man was about to tell him, making Director Long suspect whether Wu Liang had installed surveillance in his office.

"Haha, a strong youth makes a strong nation. With talents like Comrade Shadow in our country, I can rest easy even if I pass away." The old man chuckled contentedly.

He truly hadn't expected that after the Peach Blossom Spring trip in the Tianshan Mountain Range, Wu Liang's cleverness would become even more monstrous.

But thinking of a person like that standing next to his grandson, assisting with official actions, he couldn't help but smile.

However, this amiable smile only lasted a few seconds before the old man's expression returned to seriousness.

Pointing to his forehead, he said, "At the beginning of the Supernatural Calamity, our nation experienced two National Destruction Level supernatural events, codenamed the Lost Realm and the Eternal Forest, with no records of their existence, remembered only by old folks like me."

"In today's supernatural event, that eerie crying sound appeared at the last moment during the banishment of the Lost Realm but vanished in an instant. We all thought it was merely a swan song upon banishment."

"Unexpectedly, the Pioneer retained it, and in my lifetime, I hear this sound again."

With that, the old man turned his gaze to Director Long, eyes full of complex emotions.

This was so different from his usual demeanor, seemingly indifferent to Director Long being his biological grandson, because this involved another person.

A person who was supposed to become the Zodiac Dragon.

"The Eternal Forest cost us ten large cities to resolve, but the Lost Realm only cost us one person."

"That person was my son, your father — Ji Chenxi."

At this point, not only was Director Long stunned, but even Wu Liang, who had been curious, showed disbelief.

What did 'only cost one person' mean?

The deeper meaning of this was that Director Long's father single-handedly handled a supernatural event powerful enough to be rated as a National Destruction Level!?

What kind of powerhouse was Director Long's father! That's just outrageous!

The old man looked at Director Long sitting on the sofa, his mind involuntarily overlapping the scene with Ji Chenxi's confident smile when he left to confront the Lost Realm.

The words "Don't worry, Dad, I won't let that realm set foot on land" still echoed vividly as if it happened just yesterday.

Indeed, Ji Chenxi did it.

But he never returned.

"Alas... the Lost Realm was not a threat formed by a single Fierce Ghost, but a maritime nation made of many Fierce Ghosts. When your father took the whole nation to bury in the sea, all the Fierce Ghosts cursed him—"

"When anyone related to Ji Chenxi sees any Fierce Ghost associated with the Lost Realm again, they will resurrect from that person's body and completely devour our country."

"So, the real target of this eerie crying could be me or you."

At this point, the situation was already clear.

The current supernatural event might still be a powerful City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost.

But when Director Long or the old man is affected, the nature of this supernatural event will utterly transform!

A National Destruction Level disaster will descend!

Before the impending second great calamity, once this level of supernatural event erupts, even if the authorities eventually find a way to handle it, it would take a great toll, leaving no strength left to face the Supernatural Calamity.

Therefore, under no circumstances should Director Long go into battle this time!
