The origin of the Awakened

On the other side of the hall, a dashing young man with his hands in his pockets listened to their hushed conversation and smiled slightly.

"Is the person you're waiting for a red-haired man with glasses?"

He should be arriving in about 3 minutes.

The group of people from Bureau 802 immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

"Does his superpower include omniscience?"

"What a terrifying Awakened."

"Where did this guy come from?"

"It's alright. Once Flame King arrives, he'll be nothing but a clown."

"Flame King is a 'S' rank Awakened, capable of City-Destroying Class."

"Sigh, blame it on Director Zhang being so useless."

Jiang Yuu You ignored their expressions and continued speaking.

"I know you've found all my information. Here's what I need to know: tell me, and I'll leave without further trouble."

The middle-aged man at the head of the group stepped forward and spoke to him.

"Jiang Yuu, you've trespassed into the heavily guarded Bureau 802 in Sky Sea City. You're showing a complete disregard for the Federation Government."

"Besides, the information you want is top secret; I can't possibly agree to that!"

"It's not that I trespassed, but that one of you wouldn't let me in."

Jiang Yuu shrugged, saying helplessly.

"I don't want to know about your inexplicable internal struggles; they're meaningless to me. But don't let them interfere with my business."

"But that's no excuse for breaking in."

He pointed to the mess behind Jiang Yuu, his lips twitched, and he said defiantly.

"Our 'S' Awakened, Flame King, is arriving soon, Jiang Yuu. I hereby grant you permission to join Bureau 802."

"So what if he comes?"

Jiang Yuu smiled.

Right at this juncture.

A man engulfed in intense flames burst through the door.

He was tall and robust, handsome, and exuded a fiery aura, possessing an air of dominance.

But instead of facing Jiang Yuu first, he looked at the director of Bureau 802 with a cold smile.

"Zhang Fangwen, you've come to me for help, but there's a price to pay. Are you prepared?"

"Jia Ling, the Bureau 802 is facing a crisis, and you're trying to negotiate with me?"

"With me here, Bureau 802 will not face a crisis. The one who will face a crisis is you!"

Flame King didn't even glance at Jiang Yuu, staring directly into the eyes of the director of Bureau 802.

"Hmph, do you think this is still the era when your Awakened Clan can rule the world with an iron fist?"

Zhang Fangwen a deep voice.

"The Federation Government now dominates the world!"

"I know, that's why you're the director of Bureau 802."

The Flame King sneered.

"Okay, what are your conditions? I'll agree."

Zhang Fangwen a deep breath.

"I'll manage all the Awakened; you just need to handle logistics."

"Without strength, what kind of leader are you? Being infiltrated into Bureau 802 is enough to make people doubt your ability to manage Transcendent security affairs."

Flame King, Jia Ling, laughed.

Zhang Fangwen's face twitched, and a hint of resentment seemed to flash in his eyes, but in the end he nodded heavily.

"Okay, I promise!"

Their conversation ended there.

Jiang Yuu watched the whole show from the sidelines and then suddenly smiled in realization.

"I see."

Zhang Fangwen has gone all in.

At this moment.

Flame King then turned to look at Jiang Yuu, a smile playing on his lips.

I just heard you say, "So what if I'm here?"

"You shouldn't be saying that. Now that I'm here, you should confess your sins."

"Perhaps you are very strong, able to hide in Sky Sea City for many years. But there isn't a single 'A' level Awakened here, so I'm not surprised you were able to break in."

"Spying on top-secret information is a serious crime."

"Surrender, or I fear my Deep Flame Fire will bring you despair."

"Indeed, those Awakened were too weak; I didn't get a good look. I only realized it was true after you arrived."

Jiang Yuu chuckled to herself.

"Awakened, what an interesting Transcendent system! It turns out that they are bound by bloodlines, Flame of Succession by spiritual will, and connected to a Transcendent source in the Void, which is used to manifest Transcendent power!"

Flame King was taken aback upon hearing this.

He was right!

He dropped his disdain and demanded an explanation.

Who exactly are you?

Jiang Yuu chuckled, then suppressed his smile, and his supreme will surged forth from his body, enveloping the surrounding land.

Instantly, all the Awakened in Bureau 802 felt an immense majesty descend upon the heavens and earth, pressing down upon the entire universe.

It was as if a True God had descended upon this world that had just undergone Transcendent resurgence.

At this moment, there was no difference between ordinary people and high-ranking "S"-level Awakened; all were forced to kneel on the ground by this aura of majesty, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

At the very center of the oppressive aura, the Flame King lay prostrate, his body covered in cold sweat.

He struggled to lift his head, looked at Jiang Yuu, and pleaded for mercy in his eyes.

Jiang Yuu.

"Since I do not bow, then go and atone for your sins."

The next moment.

The pressure intensified, and the Flame King fainted in agony.

Then, Jiang Yuu withdrew his oppressive aura, looked at Zhang Fangwen, the Bureau 802, whose face was covered in cold sweat, and said.

Do you know what to do?

He immediately nodded respectfully.

"Mr. Jiang, please come with me."

They pushed through the crowd and arrived at an archive room deep inside Bureau 802.

Zhang Fangwen pointed to a row of boxes locked in safes.

"Although Bureau 802 is only the second precinct in the Eastern District Eight, it happens to be here that a complete set of ancient top-secret documents is preserved."

That's not enough!

Jiang Yuu shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fangwen smiled and pointed to his head.

"There were too many people earlier, so I didn't finish. A large portion of it is here."

"Mr. Jiang, I worked at the Federation General Bureau of Supernatural Affairs in my early years and had the opportunity to review many top-secret documents. Furthermore, I am still a member of the Ancient Secrets Deciphering Club. If you were to ask me, I might have access to more comprehensive information than those documents."

Jiang Yuu You found this intriguing and asked a question.

"Okay, then I'll ask you."

"Blue Star has just Transcendent resurgence. How did you Transcendent Being, or what you call Awakened, come to be? When did you appear?"

"Mr. Jiang, in fact, there have always been Awakened on Blue Star throughout history."

Zhang Fangwen answered.

"However, the number of Awakened is small, and each era has an organization similar to the Supernatural Administration Bureau to manage them, so it is difficult for ordinary people to know about them."

"As for the source, you might not believe it."

"We have the latest speculation here, would you like to hear it?"

"You say."

According to ancient records, in ancient times, around the time of Yu the Great, a super strong person named "Ruan Jia" suddenly appeared.

"She brought with her a transcendent substance, which she buried in nine unknown locations around the world as a source of Transcendent energy."

"She also brought nine divine beasts, using their blood to infuse the bloodlines of the Awakened ' ancestors, thus passing on their Transcendent bloodline and enabling them to wield Transcendent power."

"We've never known where this incredibly powerful individual named ' Ruan Jia ' came from, or where he ultimately went."

"But until The Feland World was released, you know, this game was special."

Jiang Yuu nodded.

"So, based on the ancient pronunciation, could 'Ruan Jia' mean 'player'?"
