Life Emerges from the Sea

After the Union delegation made its decision, a burst of biological information spread rapidly across the island and into the surrounding waters.

It was not merely a signal to awaken the Active Consciousness Entity. It was also a signal to force its maturation.

The Government Affairs Hall had brought the fight right to their doorstep. The Municipal Council was certainly finished, and he had no reason to stay and be dragged down with it.

He glanced anxiously at the submarine, which was still being readied, and thought, I hope it can hold him off for a while.

High in the air, Chen Chuan suddenly sensed something. Red Dust responded at the same moment. "Special biological information transmission detected. Maximum range extends five kilometers beyond the island. Suspected consciousness-awakening signal."

"Red Dust, can you pinpoint the Active Consciousness Entity?" Chen Chuan asked.

"Connected to the Fu Mu Domain Field for enhanced detection. Filtering out Domain Field interference..."

A dozen or so seconds later, Red Dust spoke again. "Analysis of the signal's attenuation rate indicates an anomalous blank area in the Great Black Reef Island Group, at the three o'clock position from White Bird District. Probability of target presence exceeds eighty percent."

Chen Chuan glanced at the displayed map. The location was not on White
