61: Departure - Dawn City

After this period of cultivation, everyone's improvement was very good.

According to the System's detection, among the other nine people, everyone's divinity content had increased significantly.

Especially Qin Yue; at this moment, his God of Mountains divinity content reached 46%.

When he had just broken through to the Control realm before, it was only 40%.

It could be seen that the cultivation improvement over these seven days was extraordinary, equivalent to fusing a 30% divinity fragment of the same attribute.

After all, as strength increases, even when fusing divinity fragments, the divinity gained will decrease significantly.

To allow everyone to prepare fully, Bei Chen also gave them a day to rest and get to know each other.

After all, once they reached Dawn City, the ten of them represented Star City; they would share in the glory or the shame.

Later, Zhou Xing, Qin Yue, Su Mingyue, and Yun Feng all gathered together.

At this time, several of them established contact with Dragon City.

To Su Mingyue's surprise, because Zhou Xing and Qin Yue performed well, Monsoon received a promotion and would later come to Star City with Thunder.

This way, at least Su Mingyue would have acquaintances in Star City.

After a period of consolidation, the situation in Dragon City had completely stabilized. Under the leadership of The Watchers and the cooperation of The Officials, a large number of ordinary people suffering from divinity erosion had been suppressed or even completely freed from the risk of divinity erosion.

The status of The Watchers continued to rise in the hearts of the ordinary people.

Yue Zhenshan of The Officials could do nothing about this. At least Monsoon and the others had shown him some face; as long as The Officials didn't actively seek trouble, The Watchers didn't mind letting them exist for the time being.

After all, the original intention of The Watchers was not to Control the world, but to exist entirely to deal with the Divine Gene.

Of course, everything had to wait until Star City sent someone to Dragon City to take over Monsoon's duties, and for stability, two Controllers would also need to be dispatched.

The current situation was that when one side's power was sufficient to take over an entire city, ownership would be determined.

Other factions were unlikely to start a war because a single move would affect the whole situation.

If one side sent more experts to take over Dragon City again, The Watchers could do the same, leading to a dead end.

For an Intermediate city, it wasn't worth it.

Even the Divine Gene would follow some rules on the surface most of the time, not completely tearing off their masks.

Yun Feng had participated in the previous Special Training Camp selection. Since she failed to make it to the end, she had no choice but to return to Star City and form the Sun Squad.

She also understood many of the rules and situations regarding the selection.

For example, as long as one participated in the Special Training Camp selection, those who didn't secure a spot would completely lose their eligibility to participate again, even if their age met the requirements.

Everyone's opportunity was equal.

Furthermore, the selection method for each session was unique; sometimes it might even take place in the wilderness, the specifics of which were unknown.

After telling Zhou Xing and Qin Yue everything she knew, the group dispersed.

In short, strength was the most important thing.

At this point, there were only seven days left until Zhou Xing could fuse another fragment.

After a day of rest and reorganization, everyone was full of energy and ready to go.

On a specialized plaza for The Watchers in Star City, a black aircraft shaped like an aerial Mutated Beast was parked quietly on the runway.

The streamlined fuselage gleamed with a cold metallic luster.

"This is the Black Falcon-5 aircraft, built using a combination of Extraterrestrial Meteorites, Divine Metal alloys, and various special Materials. It’s considered exclusive to major cities."

Bei Chen introduced it to everyone, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"And after testing, the Black Falcon aircraft not only has amazing speed, but its defense is also very exaggerated, enough to withstand attacks from Law Realm Awakened Ones or B-rank Mutated Beasts."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and a look of yearning flashed in their eyes.

If they could have such an aircraft in the future to speed through the high altitude, just thinking about it was exciting.

Zhou Xing looked up and saw the four gilded characters "Wings of the Watchers" engraved on the fuselage.

This time, Bei Chen would personally lead everyone to Dawn City.

After all, with Zhou Xing there, they were very likely to get a spot this time. As the Chief of Star City, he definitely wanted to slap the faces of several of his old rivals.

Meanwhile, Elder Tie remained to guard Star City. After all, half of Star City was still under the Control of the Divine Gene, so they had to be on guard.

Fortunately, during the same period, the internal talent selection for the Divine Gene was also taking place simultaneously, leaving them busy and unable to actively provoke The Watchers for the time being.

The interior of the aircraft was large enough to carry about thirty people, so it didn't feel crowded after they stepped inside.

After activating the autopilot, the aircraft first took off vertically and then turned into a stream of light, heading toward Dawn City.

At the same time, the aircraft's stealth mode was also activated.

Along the way, Bei Chen described the situation in Dawn City and the second round of selection.

Not long after departure, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the cabin.

"Warning! Detected energy reaction at the Late Stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"

The pilot's voice reached everyone's ears from the Control room.

Everyone looked out through the portholes and saw the distant clouds being torn apart by violent air currents.

The figure of a behemoth over a hundred meters long slowly emerged—its body was covered in blue-purple scales, and its wings spanned dozens of meters. Every flap of its wings triggered a thunderous roar. This was the C-rank Mutated Beast, the Thunder Lizard Dragon, a powerful mutant overlord no less than a Late Stage Celestial Phenomenon Realm human.

"Strange, when did this guy get here?"

Bei Chen frowned.

The Thunder Lizard Dragon's territory was Storm Canyon, which was in the opposite direction of Dawn City.

Moreover, the Black Falcon-5's stealth capability against Celestial Phenomenon Realm Mutated Beasts or Awakened Ones reached 99%.

Yet they happened to run into it with that remaining 1% chance.

"Activate the Divinity Pulse Cannons to drive it away," Bei Chen ordered the pilot.

Hum!

Immediately, the armor plates on both sides of the aircraft's wings slid open, revealing two pitch-black barrels.

Dazzling energy light condensed at the muzzles.

"Divinity Pulse Cannons fully charged, auto-lock engaged," the pilot reported.

"Fire!" Bei Chen ordered without hesitation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Instantly, two energy beams over a meter in diameter pierced through the sky, accurately striking toward the Thunder Lizard Dragon's wings.
