With Wen Rui placed in Yuliannu's Temporal Silhouette, Wen Wen felt a stone lift from his heart.
Regardless of the reasons behind Wen Rui's refusal of his proposal at the time, Yuliannu's Temporal Silhouette represented a good outcome for him.
Then, Wen Wen began to study the gains from his advancement to the Cataclysmic level.
In truth, this advancement did not significantly impact Wen Wen's strength, as he could previously wield Cataclysmic level power by borrowing the strength of the Containment Facility.
However, there was a fundamental change compared to before, because now he possessed Cataclysmic level strength on his own, without needing to borrow the Facility's power.
The strength that the Containment Facility had originally granted him had now transformed into an outfit that he wore.
As more and more demon hunters joined the Containment Facility, its recovery speed dramatically increased, and the pressure on the four central administrators lessened.
It was foreseeable that within the next few years, the central administrators would be able to break free from the suppression and regain their original strength; at least Jin Ke La and the other two could.
Furthermore, Wen Wen discovered another, truly terrifying, ability of the Containment Facility.
That was the ability to absorb the strength of monsters in the cells to augment its own power.
Within Yuliannu's Temporal Silhouette, Wen Wen had witnessed a similar scene, where a terrifying black shadow drained the monsters within the Containment Facility.
That terrifying black shadow was likely something from the fifth level of the Containment Facility.
And now that Wen Wen himself had become Cataclysmic level, he possessed a similar ability; as long as his body could contain it, he could achieve unlimited growth in strength.
However, Wen Wen himself did not intend to improve his strength in this manner. This method, while seemingly simple and effective, might have significant hidden dangers.
Perhaps the monster on the fifth level was nurtured by this very ability…
Regarding the monster on the fifth level, Wen Wen had also made some crucial discoveries from his brief observation.
The entire fifth level, apart from a black stone palace, was shrouded in darkness, which was the same as the scene in Wen Wen's inner world when he encountered the black-robed figure.
However, the difference was that in Wen Wen's inner world, the darkness outside the black stone palace was merely an environmental feature, while the darkness on the fifth level was an incredibly dense, vast energy!
There seemed to be a peculiar familiarity in that dark energy; otherwise, it was identical to the ordinary power of the Containment Facility.
Similar energy existed in the other four levels of the Containment Facility, but it was in an invisible state. Only the energy on the fifth level was almost physically filling the space.
Wen Wen could not imagine how terrifying a powerhouse would be created if all that energy were concentrated in one person, perhaps countless times more powerful than what Wen Wen had experienced for those ten minutes.
This energy did not belong to Wen Wen yet, nor did it belong to the entity on the fifth level; it was simply power.
Wen Wen could sense that the strength of the entity on the fifth level seemed identical to his own, and that entity was no stronger than Wen Wen in its control over the power of the fifth level.
What Bai Mo had allowed Wen Wen to experience earlier was not the power of the entity on the fifth level, but the release of the abundant power within the fifth level.
Therefore, the information left by the black-robed figure instructed Wen Wen to challenge that entity when he reached Cataclysmic level strength.
However, Wen Wen had no intention of challenging it now, as he had no chance of winning. Even if their powers were identical, the opponent would be more familiar with the environment of the fifth level, and challenging it now would be tantamount to suicide. Su Dan Novel Network
He needed to wait for a time when he had more confidence before defeating that entity.
And this would require some long and arduous training…
…
Time flew by, and as the sun and moon coursed through the heavens, five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The Federation at this time had been completely transformed, with no traces of the previous great war visible.
The Ou Dai region had become a desolate wasteland; the ground was black, the rivers were crimson, and not a blade of grass or an insect could be found.
The center of the great war was still shrouded in dense pollution, making it impossible for ordinary people to even approach it. However, several observation centers had been established on the outskirts of the battlefield.
Every day, residents from various regions came here to visit the remnants of the great war, ensuring they no longer pursued pleasure and could recognize that the Federation still faced immense crises.
However, several teams from the Hua Fu region were currently working in the Ou Dai region, aiming to transform it.
Farming was a traditional skill of the Hua Fu region; they could farm even in saline-alkali land or deserts. Such a vast area as Ou Dai could not be wasted.
If the soil here could not grow plants, they would try transporting soil from other places or attempt to cultivate special algae to gradually transform the area.
The Ou Dai region was like this, while other places had changed entirely.
The Federal Government was officially renamed the Federation Management Committee, responsible only for the Federation's livelihood and daily administration.
The Hunter Association and the Containment Facility's joint organization moved from the shadows into the light, directly managing the entire world, and were renamed the Disaster Foundation.
Its duty was to respond to disasters that might befall humanity and guide humanity towards a better future.
In reality, the powers and responsibilities of the two organizations had not changed compared to before; only the names had been altered.
The original regions were replaced by three Temples, each managing one-third of the world.
Every city was equipped with monitoring points, beneath which monsters that attacked humans could not hide.
Furthermore, the control rooms of these monitoring points were no longer solely managed by Isweit; members of the 'Investigators' from the original Hunter Association were also involved.
The 'Investigators' organizations from the original eight regions merged to become the intelligence organization of the Disaster Foundation, with Isweit as its highest leader.
The original Containment Shops moved from the second floor of the Containment Facility to near the Sanctuary in the Hua Fu region, to a place called Hua Qiang South, becoming the largest distribution center for supernatural items worldwide. This immense market was managed by Nivia.
Jin Ke La was solely responsible for the fighting, and he was in charge of the members of the Federation army and other collected personnel who participated in battles.
All supernatural powers within the entire Federation were highly integrated. No other power on Earth could contend with the Disaster Foundation. Remnants of the original secret organization alliance were systematically eradicated.
Three years ago, the fugitive Sha Xie Tu La Mu was captured in a desert in the Ai Fei region. He was besieged by several Cataclysmic level powerhouses, beaten into a pulp, and then captured and sent to the Containment Facility.
Two years ago, the heavily fortified Feng Du Ghost City was breached, and all the fierce spirits and vengeful ghosts within were annihilated. Only Feng Gui Shen managed to escape, and no one knew where he was trembling in a corner. At any rate, he had not been seen since then.
