The venue was incredibly lively, situated in a small town on the edge of a desert.
Most of those present were ordinary people, while the Cataclysm-level powerhouses were stationed in a camp outside the town.
The main purpose of this event was to showcase the new technologies developed over the past five years.
If these new technologies garnered sufficient attention during the event, they would be widely promoted thereafter.
The event was divided into two parts. The first part, held in the town, focused primarily on civilian products.
Cataclysm-level powerhouses were welcome to attend, or they could choose to stay in the camp and drink coffee.
The second part would take place in the heart of the desert, commencing only after the civilian segment concluded, with all Cataclysm-level powerhouses present to witness it.
Upon seeing Wen Wen's arrival, everyone in attendance was taken aback. Wen Wen had been in seclusion for years, and they had assumed he wouldn't be attending.
Furthermore, they couldn't sense any presence from Wen Wen; it was as if he didn't exist.
Yet, each of them had an intuition that Wen Wen had become stronger than before, even surpassing the Great Sage.
This was a deliberate effect orchestrated by Wen Wen; otherwise, unless their gaze happened to fall upon him, they wouldn't be able to detect his presence at all.
Wen Wen's former Containment Officer badge had a special ability called 'Mysterious,' which had now integrated into his body as a passive effect.
As long as Wen Wen didn't wish to be perceived, this ability would remain active without consuming any of his energy.
The effect of the 'Mysterious' ability was to block others' perception of Wen Wen, and it was now a complete shield. Apart from normal sight, all other methods of observation were unable to detect him.
Only those with strength exceeding Wen Wen's could see through this ability, and clearly, none of those present possessed such power.
After a brief period of pleasantries, Wen Wen presented the head as a gift to the Punishers.
Upon seeing the head, everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting that Wen Wen had silently killed Feng Gui Shen.
Feng Gui Shen's demise brought a sense of relief to many, signifying one less Cataclysm-level threat lurking on Earth.
Concurrently, it provided them with a clearer understanding of Wen Wen's strength and instilled a greater sense of reverence in their attitude towards him.
While most Cataclysm-level powerhouses remained unchanged over the past few years, those who had participated in the final battle showed some differences.
The Great Sage's power carried a significant corrupting influence, and they had ultimately not fully recovered.
Sreising's arm had not regrown; he had conjured two arms from ice, causing the temperature around him to be over ten degrees lower than elsewhere.
Ishna's left eye had become dim and lifeless, with a slight scar on the skin above it.
Night Knight wore a peculiar mask and carried a canister on his back. The green gas within this canister helped nourish his internal organs.
This gas was provided by Nivia, and it would take another seven to eight years of wearing it for his internal organs to fully recover. Due to the canister, he no longer experienced mental lapses during the day, which was considered good news.
Jingji Kongluo appeared much more mature than before. He was already a genius, and now, by following the same path as his teacher, his strength grew rapidly.
As for Xun Ying, he was not present at the venue. It was said that after waking up five years ago, he had entered the Sword Tomb and had not emerged since.
After catching up briefly, Wen Wen turned his attention to the exhibition.
In recent years, Wen Wen's Wisdom World Project had achieved great success. Investigators had obtained a wealth of valuable information from Juliannu's time silhouette.
This information, combined with Night Knight's technology, had led to a surge in the Federation's technological advancement in recent years.
Wen Wen observed with great astonishment.
Previously, procuring a miniature camera the size of two bars of soap had necessitated a transaction between Wen Wen and Night Knight. Now, superior cameras could be integrated into mobile phones.
There were also new magnetic levitation vehicles capable of flight, virtual games played with helmets, and even toilets that could spray water and then dry themselves…
The widespread adoption of such inventions would elevate the Federation's technological progress by a significant margin.
The novelties on display far exceeded the few previously mentioned, each capturing Wen Wen's keen interest. He noted down a few items, intending to request some from Night Knight for personal enjoyment.
The ordinary exhibition lasted for half a day, after which all civilians departed, and the truly significant exhibits commenced.
Various new weapons were highly eye-catching, but they held little significance for Cataclysm-level powerhouses, being at most interesting toys. It was only when the final item appeared that all eyes were drawn.
It was a bomb that appeared unremarkable but made Wen Wen's eyes gleam. This was the very bomb he had seen in the time silhouette.
Three years ago, investigators had obtained all the technical data for this item. They hadn't expected Night Knight to have already manufactured it.
Aside from Wen Wen and Night Knight, other Cataclysm-level powerhouses were unaware of what it was, only knowing it to be the grand finale of the exhibition.
Night Knight cleared his throat and stepped to the forefront. "This is a new type of bomb developed by the Federal Research Center and myself. Based on different technical materials, I have created five distinct samples. I now request everyone to appreciate them."
He led the Cataclysm-level powerhouses a short distance into the desert, where a missile was launched and landed precisely not far ahead.
A massive mushroom cloud rose, and the intense explosion moved the Cataclysm-level powerhouses present.
The destructive power was not significant to them, but these bombs were mass-producible. With sufficient numbers, they could pose a threat to Cataclysm-level powerhouses, and for those below the Cataclysm level, they represented an almost insurmountable attack.
"This is the initial model, with the least power and the most severe contamination, hence it was obsolete as soon as it was developed. Next is the second…"
A total of five super-bombs detonated at the same location. By the fifth bomb, its power was capable of posing a threat to many Cataclysm-level powerhouses.
The destructive force of these bombs was astonishing, and every Cataclysm-level powerhouse acknowledged that their existence would greatly enhance the strength of the current Disaster Foundation.
While others focused on the explosive power, Wen Wen gazed at the direction of the explosion with a peculiar expression.
Despite their immense power, these bombs were akin to large firecrackers for him at present; he could ask Night Knight for some to play with as fireworks.
What truly held his attention was the detonation site. Although this area appeared to be a desolate desert, there was, in fact, someone present.
Wen Wen had wanted to stop the proceedings during the first explosion. However, considering everyone's high spirits and the fact that the other individual was no paragon of virtue, Wen Wen ultimately watched the entire explosion ceremony with a smile.
