Lindong, High-rise residence.
An old man wearing glasses led the youth forward, "This is a landline, which can be used for long-distance calls. There are also these cars, mobile phones, computers, but they are not easy to use now..."
As one of the top brass, the old man was full of pride. Even facing the No. 1 giant Lu Jianjun, he was not likely to lower his posture.
However, when he learned that this seemingly young-looking person beside him had actually lived for more than 200 years and was in a higher social position than his grandfather, the old man wasn't reluctant to lower his posture.
Besides, the strength of this man and the eight-armed black devil was at the same level!
The old man had personally seen the terrifying destructive power.
With him, he will be safe!
"Elder Yan, are you still satisfied with these?"
Grand Counselor Yan nodded. "It's a bit interesting, but it's not what I really want."
"The materials you need available in the Lindong warehouse have already been sent for. For the ones that were missing, I have already issued orders. I think we will be able to find them soon."
"Good. as long as I can find these materials… I won't treat you badly."
With his hand on his shoulders, Grand Counselor Yan walked to the brightly lit window. The entire Lindong area wasn't completely replaced with source power lamps, but around the villa were already installed with various styles of exquisitely crafted lamps.
Grand Counselor Yan was quite satisfied. "The two monsters in the video are indeed very strong. The so-called shelter is far from enough to protect your safety. This is not because your technology is too bad, but the life level of the two monsters was transcendent."
"But you don't need to worry." He said, his eyes swept across the room. The senior old man, the head of the rhino mercenary group, and the old man's men. These people looked more respectful. Bowed their heads and listened carefully.
"I am also a person of this level. When a crisis comes, it's easy to save your lives. Of course, I only saved a few of you. I don't have the time to save others."
"It's more than enough. Certainly, we don't want to trouble you too much." The old man hurriedly said. "I wonder if the Grand Counselor Yan had more orders?"
Grand Counselor Yan stood by the window and thought for a moment.
"Secret realm. I want to know where the entrance to the secret realm is."
"There was once a secret realm entrance by the mountain twenty kilometers away, but it soon disappeared. I heard from the people who came out of it that the secret realm collapsed."
"We don't know the exact entrance to the secret realm, but…" the old man paused, "There is a person who definitely holds the secret realm in his hands."
"Who?"
"Tang Yu of Tree Shade."
"That Tree Shade was originally just a small shelter, but they have the rune technology of the Academy of Sciences. Not only did they monopolize the market of rune equipment and sold it at a very high price. They have been making a lot of money since then."
"Not only that, but Tree Shade also has some kind of device that can create Heavenly Thunder. It was more powerful than the energy recharge cannon. This is very abnormal. And that Tang Yu is very selfish. It is clear that human beings are already in danger, but he is not willing to share those equipment technologies!"
The old man was angry.
Grand Counselor Yan didn't care about the latter words. His eyes lit up when he heard the rune technology and the heavenly thunder.
'Mage Alliance, Ancient Spirit Dynasty, or the secret realm of other forces?'
'Something must have gone wrong with the secret realm that was mastered by humans of this age. It must be a masterless secret realm.'
Like the secret realm of their Nanrin Kingdom, they could control the opening and closing of the secret realm entrance. Even if they were discovered by humans by chance, with human's weak power, they would never be a match.
He wasn't worried about bumping into strong enemies of the same era. Even if the same old guys awakened from the Fourth Era, Grand Counselor Yan was fearless. He believed not a lot could break through the transcendent stage.
Rune equipment and heavenly thunder technology have moved him.
"Indeed, it's a waste with that technology in their hands. It would be best and efficient if I take over. First, give me a detailed description of the Tree Shade."
The old man asked his man who was responsible for collecting information to give a detailed introduction to Grand Counselor Yan.
The henchman spoke fully, including when Tree Shade was first established, when it started selling rune equipment, holding Martial Arts Tournament and inevitably talking about encountering a level 4 demonic wave including three disaster level demonic beasts. Also included Tang Yu stepping mid-air and walking up to the city walls.
The words made Grand Counselor Yan choke.
He didn't care about the disaster-level demonic beast. They're just a bunch of bulky guys. However…
"You said he stepped in the sky and walked step by step?"
"Yes, many people have witnessed it."
"I think that the Tree Shade Secret Realm needs to be planned slowly. If Tang Yu bites the secret realm without telling the entrance, it will be very troublesome. Yes, this matter requires careful planning, so I will leave it to you. ."
He patted the old man on the shoulder and disappeared in a flash.
A few people were left looking at each other. They had a feeling that there was Something they did not understand.
......
Tang Yu, who was being talked about, didn't even sneeze and strolled around the secret realm in a leisurely manner.
Unlike Zhor's tomb, once he entered the entrance, the whole scene was visible.
This secret realm was bigger than the previous one.
Tang Yu climbed higher step by step, looking around in mid-air.
In the secret realm, the sky was surrounded by a white mist. Tang Yu, who has some understanding of space, knows that there is a boundary. Stepping into it will encounter resistance. The more you go in, the greater the resistance.
This kind of barrier can be broken, but after breaking it, it will enter the void space stream layer that was the real danger. He guessed that even a Transcendent may not be able to survive in the void space.
There were many unique buildings in the secret realm, just like the ones seen outside. It was like a small town.
Some of the buildings were well preserved, while others looked like they had been attacked in some terrible way. Half of which had been obliterated, leaving no trace of the building.
What caught his eye the most was the five tower-like buildings in the center of the town.
Each one was more than twenty stories high; three of them were relatively well preserved.
Tang Yu walked towards one of the intact towers and threw a puppet in front to explore the way. The round basic puppet just stepped into the gate of the tower when a green light curtain appeared. Under the puppet's brute force, it broke apart.
"Even a puppet with a First Awakening Stage strength can stop it. It seems that although there is still some defense mechanism operating here, the energy supplied was far from enough."
The entrance was a hall with a rune array painted underneath. On the surrounding walls, there were many objects that should be regarded as defensive facilities, but they all lost their function at this time.
Tang Yu climbed up the spiral staircase. The second, third, and fourth floors should be the laboratory, but he couldn't recognize many devices.
The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth floors were study rooms. Books were stacked all over the place. Tang Yu felt with the number of books here, it can be considered as a library.
He resisted the urge to flip through a book and went straight to the top floor.
"It should be the residence of the owner of the tall tower. If there are precious treasures, they must be hidden here as well."

The ground was covered with a bright black floor, gorgeous crystal pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling. Pure fragrant wooden tables and chairs, exquisitely carved bookcases… There were even swimming pools, sky gardens, cloisters. Standing on the rooftop, he can overlook the whole town... Whether it's the layout or decoration, it was full of luxury and glory.
It's not even worse than his castle!
Tang Yu opened the door and searched room by room ... he guessed that the pivot that controls the whole secret realm, the rift crystals, were likely in these five towers.
He's already inside the secret realm. Even if the entrance had closed, he could leave with Town Portal Scroll, so there's no worry. In addition to the rift crystals, he hoped to find valuable items.
Walking through the corridor and opening the door to the room, his eyes swept around.
Maybe the various mechanisms in the tower were still working; even if it had been abandoned for a long time, there was not much dust.
"There's a situation here."
Red Moon's voice came into his ears like a clear breeze.
Tang Yu ran away quickly and saw Red Moon wearing a black robe, standing in a room with an area of more than 100 square meters, looking ahead.
"That's..."
A figure in an exquisite robe sat on a chair. Tang Yu was startled at first and perceived it carefully, only to find that the person had no more breath.
He went around to the front and got a good look.
The corpse was male. The skin and flesh were sunken, dry, and lacking in color, but other than that, the corpse didn't emit a foul smell or rotted away.
"It looks like he should be the owner of the tower. Living in such a large place alone is a bit extravagant."
The robe on the corpse should be a good piece of rune equipment. Tang Yu thought about it but didn't pull it off. He walked to the exquisite wardrobe, and when he opened it, he found several robes of similar style.
"It's rune equipment and three kinds of runes..."
Tang Yu took one piece in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Just, what rune is this inscribed with? Dust rune? Constant temperature rune? Water-resistant rune?"
All three runes were not combat useful.
The water-resistant rune doesn't allow people to dive into the water. At best, it can keep the clothes from getting wet on rainy days.
At first, he thought it was just one piece of daily clothing... But Tang Yu overestimated the tower owner; not only other robes but even the staff placed next to the corpse were engraved with runes such as lighting and guiding the way.
So these were aid runes?
After searching the room, Tang Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, "Forget it, you can find so many things in one room. The value of this secret realm was far above the tombs, and the robes for removing dust, constant temperature, and water are inscribed, although it is not applicable for fighting, but as a daily high-end product, it should sell well."
On the table in front of the corpse, a fine parchment book was placed, and Tang Yu finally picked it up.
Not surprisingly, he did not understand the words above, nor was it a rune language that he could tell the meaning at a glance.
"Where is the promised world-wide Chinese speaking? The ancients deceived me!" Tang Yu spat out.
Not worried about the language barrier.
He turned over the first page of the parchment book, took out a detection crystal, and shone it down on the dense text on the parchment.
"I awakened from my deep slumber. Has the prophesied era come? I was overjoyed and looked at the mechanical calendar on the wall for the first time. Fortunately, the calendar was not damaged. It shows that today is May 17th. But unfortunately, one calendar cycle is only a hundred years, and now, I'm sure it has passed more than one cycle."
"I guess I've been asleep for at least a few hundred years. It's unbelievable! I'm only 180 years old. I'm very young. Fortunately, I didn't sleep like a fool."
"Merlin and the others are also awake. Oh, I should get together with them first."
Tang Yu turned page after page; every time he turned a page, he had to shine a new detection crystal, which made him feel a little heartbroken.
"On June 17th, a month has passed, the secret entrance has not been opened yet, and our hearts are a little disturbed. With this setup, as long as the source power concentration outside reached a certain level, then the secret realm entrance will be open naturally."
"This is the best way; no one knows how far away the fifth era is. The sleeping potion doesn't let us sleep for thousands of years. I should say that the price of that is too high, except for the royal families of three major countries, I'm afraid no one can afford to pay it. But even it will be a waste to them."
"On June 25th, the remaining ingredients after the crystallization of the sleeping potion were finally resolved by us. This is bad news. Our awakening... is not because the 'opportunity' has arrived, but the solution has lost its effect... This is the sleeping potion for 300 years. And our branch next door prepared only 250."
"It may be that the flow of time in our secret realm is not slow enough. After all, we can't precisely control the direction of the secret realm. But there is another possibility that the interval between the Fifth and the Fourth era is too long."
"How long is it? 10.000 years, 20.000 years, 100.000 years? It was clear that the time interval between the Third and the Fourth era was less than ten thousand years. I don't know what happened in the Fourth era. The powerhouses called Gods have all fallen, and they have gradually dissipated with the source of heaven and earth. It is said that thousands of years ago, there were people who successfully broke through the Transcendent, but it is impossible to wait for our generation. If not, there was no need to risk sleeping and waiting for the fifth age era..."
Tang Yu's mouth gradually opened wide.
The information contained in this diary was really a bit much.
From just a few words, he summed up some keys.
The owners of the diary, including the one Master Merlin, mentioned in it, a total of five people belong to an organization called the 'Truth Mage Alliance', which was a world-class organization, but relatively loose. All five of them belong to the senior management of a certain branch of the Mage Alliance.
There were only five of them in the whole secret realm.
But according to the diary owner, the three great nations, the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, the Seer Empire, and the Holy Glory Empire… they were the ones in control of the world. Maybe there were more people in those three kingdoms who managed to awaken in the fifth era. Some may have mixed in with human society.
Tang Yu was more than a little wary.
People who awakened from the fourth era were mostly masters; perhaps some have broken through the transcendent. For the current human race, such existence might be a blessing, but it may also bring calamity.
"However, why is the modern era called the fifth era? And they seemed to know for a long time about the changes that were about to take place in the fifth era?"
"The first two eras in the four eras weren't mentioned. But the third era was known as the fall of the Gods. And in the fourth era, transcendent doesn't appear, the source power declining and was known as the end times."
"It was said that the modern era is doomsday? This is not scientific!"
However, Tang Yu could not figure out one more thing. The fourth era was only the End Times and not the doomsday.
He guessed the fourth era is similar to the ancient era. Due to the existence of source power, it was much more prosperous than the Middle Ages and the ancient times of the Great Xia Kingdom. At least the common people can fill their stomachs, and the whole world was also relatively peaceful.
It seems...no matter the big countries or small countries, as well as other forces, focus on the Fifth Age in the prophecy.
But such a prosperous era was not recorded at all in history. In terms of time, the interval was also very far away.
What happened during this period that caused the historical fault?
