The moonlight, like water, gently spilled into the rare tranquility of the New Territories night.

The bare trees, bathed in moonlight, appeared even more lonely and mysterious. The dappled moonlight and tree shadows intertwined, forming menacing patterns, like the whispers of demons.

Longshan Road. A secret basement.

In the flickering candlelight, the three evil gods, through a special ritual, transformed into three slender black shadows, conversing in the basement.

Whale Shark (burly man's voice), "Hehehe. Judging by the time. The test for the fourth-tier Cataclysm + Regional Lord should be coming soon, right?" (Chapter 370)

"How long do you think it took Tang Feifei to find out?"

Xie Yue (boy's voice): "I guess a month."

Whale (Zhuang Man's voice): "Your guess is too conservative. I'll guess two months directly."

Xie Yue (boy's voice): "If it's two months, those lunatics will drain her dry."

Whale (Zhuang Man's voice): "Hahaha. Isn't this great? This frees up the position of regional lord for us, so we can continue to pursue the New Territories region."

Hearing the two bickering, the leading figure in black trembled slightly and then said, "Alright... whether the new regional lord can pass the test or not, we just need to wait patiently."

"I'm about to say something important."

"These past few days, I think I've discovered something extraordinary. Something that should only exist in the 'Core Region of the Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind'..."

"I've been observing and verifying for the past few days. Now I'm almost 70% sure it's that thing."

"If the verification is successful, I will need your help..."

........

Time flows like water.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Late at night in the real world.

Deep in the desert of the eastern city area, in a cave on a small hill.

Suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted! Accompanying that intense light, a powerful and frenzied force spread outwards!

Wherever it went, it stirred up clouds of yellow sand as if it were a tangible thing!

Upon seeing this scene, Tang Feifei, who had been standing on the hilltop on guard for the past three days without closing her eyes, suddenly looked down at the cave below!

Sure enough, according to her spiritual senses, there was another being of the same level in the cave at some unknown time!

'He's already advanced to the fourth rank?'

Lariro, whom she held, shared the same thought.

Larilu, dressed in a black dress, leaned over the altar, gazing down. Looking at the almost tangible aura, she murmured, "Advanced to the fourth rank in just two days?"

"This promotion speed is too fast."

After saying that, she came to her senses and glared angrily at the hills below, "So... you still dare to say you're not the ruler of the region!"

"Without the constant stream of power provided by the pseudo-rank of 'Regional Lord,' how could one achieve such a rapid advancement!"

"Damn Qiu Tu!"

At this moment, just as both women were surprised by Qiu Tu's rapid advancement.

What they didn't realize was...

On the other side of the desert in the Eastern City region, two middle-aged men gazed at the shattered phantom of the laws, sensing the powerful aura belonging only to a fourth-tier Cataclysmic Being. They exchanged bewildered glances...

Then, they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes: Who is this person who has advanced to the fourth rank in Zhao Ji's area?

The two of them were ordered to come and check on the situation of the "Boundless Heart Sea", but they were surprised to find that they had an unexpected joy?

Chapter 383 The Power of a Fourth-Order! (10,000 words, please vote!)

After half an hour.

Dongye State, Parliament Building, Top Floor. Speaker's Chambers (3rd floor).

The two middle-aged men who had just appeared in the "Boundless Heart Sea - East City Area" by chance were now respectfully reporting to a girl with pigtails who was leaning back in her chair, with her legs propped up on the desk, chewing bubble gum.

"Chief, our Third Division has truly made a difference this time!"

"When we were patrolling the territory of Zhao Ji as you commanded, we unexpectedly discovered that a Cataclysm was advancing in rank there."

"This is the footage we recorded."

As he spoke, one of the middle-aged men took out a round, bloodshot eyeball that felt very bouncy to the touch.

The eyeball seemed to be still alive; when it was taken out, it kept moving around.

"Hundred-Eyed Vision: A type of cataclysmic artifact that records events."

"The main raw material is the eyeball of the catastrophic creature 'Hundred-Eyed Octopus'."

"After being collected and processed, it can be used to store images and sounds, allowing people to experience the content in an immersive way."

Hearing the explanation from the two middle-aged men, the girl with pigtails casually extended her hand while chewing bubble gum.

She looked quite young, only sixteen or seventeen. One of her pigtails was a deep blue, the other pink.

Coupled with her denim shorts that showed off her straight legs and crop top, and her nonchalant attitude of putting her legs up on the table while chewing bubble gum, she looked incredibly stylish.

You wouldn't guess at all that this is a high-ranking official from Dongye Prefecture.

Upon seeing the young girl reach out her hand, the two middle-aged men quickly and respectfully handed over the "Hundred-Eyed Vision".

The girl played with the bouncy eyeball for a couple of moments, then pressed it sharply against her right eye.

The next second, the eyeball merged with her right eye!

Perhaps because of the mismatch, her right eye bulges outward, making it look particularly frightening.

The next second, the scene in front of the girl suddenly changed, from the office to the "East City Area" filled with yellow sand.

At the same time, she heard the voices of the two middle-aged men talking beside her, "Holy crap! What is that! A phantom of the law?"

"seems like it!"

"Quick, write it down! Quick, write it down!"

"It's recorded! It's recorded!"

"What kind of illusory law is that? It's a bit far away, so I can't see it very clearly."

"It looks like... a man and a woman are hugging?"

Listening to the conversation around her, the girl also looked up at the distant phantom of the law.

The normal law's phantom image stands tall and upright, visible almost anywhere in the sky above a city, simply by looking up.

However... that illusory image of the law is extremely far away, at least tens of kilometers. Therefore, only a fist-sized illusory image can be seen.

In addition, the "Boundless Heart Sea - East City Area" is located during the daytime, when the sunlight is strongest and most dazzling.

Therefore, even if you look closely at the phantom, you can only barely see a man and a woman embracing each other.

'Is he... a cataclysmic being in the life path?'

As the girl thought this, the two middle-aged men spoke again.

"Holy crap! The phantom image shattered! Looks like I successfully advanced!"

"Who was it that advanced in the Great Evil God's territory?"

"Could they be followers of an evil god?"

"Probably. In any case, they're definitely someone who can't stand the light of day."

"Hmm... I feel it's very likely a high-ranking official in Dongye Prefecture who worships the Great Evil Goddess Zhao Ji."

"After all, ordinary believers in evil gods can advance in the disaster zone or in their own evil god's territory. There's no need to come here."

"That makes sense! Holy crap! Are we about to do something amazing?! Quick, quick, let's go investigate!"

The first video recording ends here.

Immediately afterwards, the second video began.

The second video clip shows the two of them finding the promotion zone.

It was a small hill that had been bombed away.

Moreover, the thick yellow sand had already completely covered the remaining part of the hill. Almost all traces had been erased.

But these two middle-aged men were clearly professionals. They didn't give up because of this.

They took out the shelter-standard cataclysmic artifact, the "Invisible Aberration Sensor," and began detecting the cataclysmic power in the vicinity.

Soon, they recorded all the information.

"Five different traces of cataclysmic power."

"Three of them are fourth-order, and two others cannot be detected."

"One of them seems to be an evil god."

"The other two can't be detected; they seem to be just scent."

"Anyone capable of leaving their aura in such a place must be an evil god, right?"

"Three...three evil gods?! And two fourth-tier Cataclysms?"

"You've done a great job! You've done a great job!"

The image started to flicker, as if two middle-aged men were dancing excitedly.

Girl:.....

The video ends here.

The eyeballs bulged out of the girl's eye sockets on their own.

The girl with pigtails tilted her head back, rubbed her temples with a slight headache, and then viciously threw her bouncy eyeballs at the middle-aged man's head.

"You two are so noisy!"

After scolding the two, her expression changed very naturally.

She blew a pink bubble, which popped with a "pop!" Then she said, "But the intelligence was pretty good~~~ I'll give you both credit this time."

"Go down and claim your reward!"

Upon hearing the girl's words, the two middle-aged men quickly said with beaming smiles, "Thank you, Director! Thank you, Director!"

The girl with pigtails waved her hand dismissively.

After the two middle-aged men left, the young girl toyed with the "Hundred-Eyed Vision" device, her eyes full of amusement. "A high-ranking official related to the Great Evil God..."

"That's interesting."

"Looks like we've caught a big fish this time."

After muttering this, the girl suddenly spread her long legs apart and landed, springing up from the chair. Then she shouted, "Uncle Liao! Uncle Liao! Help me request some information from the relevant department!"

"I need a list of all high-ranking officials in Dongye Prefecture whose catastrophe level is currently at or above level three!"

"Hurry up!"

......

at the same time.

Several offices in Huang Shangzong's attendant's quarters were bustling with activity because of this accidental discovery.

The instigators of the incident, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei, also returned to the New Territories without a trace.

Since it was already night, the two of them could easily avoid the attention of others by concealing their whereabouts.

They changed cars and went back to Qiu Tu's office together through the security passage of the Investigation Department building.

In Qiu Tu's office, Tan Huimin was sitting at the secretary's desk, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, "Qiu Tu" sat upright behind his desk, seemingly devoid of any soul, his eyes unfocused.
