Just as Liu Yun was basking in success, convinced that everything was under his control, in another deep, dark space, the surroundings were swallowed by endless darkness. Only an ancient stone stele floating at the center emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the area. Before it stood an old man in a black robe. His face was hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky, as though they could see through all things in the world.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers lightly tapping the surface of the stele as he muttered, "Earth, once such an insignificant planet, has now produced so many powerful beings. How surprising. It seems my previous trial was still too mild."
As he spoke, a mysterious smile curled across his lips. His figure gradually blurred, as if merging into the dark space itself. Then, a black giant egg radiating a dim glow condensed out of thin air in his hand. Its surface was covered in intricate patterns, seemingly containing some ancient and formidable power.
"It is time to give Earth a greater challenge," the old man said softly. With a wave of his hand, the black giant egg shot through the darkness like a meteor, crossing the boundaries of time and space as it sped toward Earth.
Not long afterward, the black giant egg passed through the atmosphere and finally fell into the vast ocean. This time, however, a trace of magical radiance had also gathered upon it.
Yet no one on Earth knew any of this. After resolving the threat posed by the HR Alliance, Liu Yun noticed nothing unusual. He continued with his cultivation plans while strengthening Jiangnan Base City's defenses against any unforeseen danger.
