You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

……

After saying that, Wu Bai raised his hand and waved it, and a spatial rift opened up from top to bottom. He stepped into it.

Inside a dazzling time tunnel in a dimensional rift.

Wu Bai hovered in front of a certain node, tore open another spatial rift, and stepped inside.

……

Earth, the main city.

On the rooftop of a skyscraper.

Wu Bai stepped out of the spatial rift and stood on the edge of the rooftop, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind.

He looked down at the modern city below.

Given the Earth's original infrastructure development speed, it would have been impossible to build this city in such a short period of time.

This is all thanks to Bai Xiaoxiao's army of architectural robots.

Suddenly, Wu Bai turned his head to look at a street to his lower left.

There was a human procession there, estimated to be over a thousand people.

They held up signs that read: "Open up access to the universe for the public, or Su Nianzhen will step down."

Relying on Bai Xiaoxiao's spaceship and the mist passage opened by Su Nianbai, the main city's officials have made their first contact with an alien civilization.

To boost public morale, the entire contact was broadcast live.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

While the live stream was inspiring, it also stirred up different thoughts in some people poisoned by apocalyptic thinking and various forces.

When the authorities were initially unable to access the universe, they naturally didn't have any particular ideas.

But now the authorities have done it, and they are also aware of the immense value of Life Crystals in the universe.

If only the government can make contact with extraterrestrials, these forces will be suppressed forever. Any exchange of resources will have to go through the government, and they will only ever get scraps. Only by obtaining the right to trade directly with extraterrestrials will they have a chance to turn the tide.

It was for this purpose that the march took place.

This is also why Wu Bai strongly urged Su Nianzhen to restart the education system.

The lack of an education system, coupled with the government's past policies of giving great preferential treatment to awakened individuals.

Even if someone kills, they usually don't receive severe punishment, leading many people to develop a lawless, doomsday mentality.

Especially those major powers, who are used to being local tyrants, have not yet changed their mindset due to the short time since the reforms began.

A flash of multicolored light, and Wu Bai disappeared from the edge of the rooftop.

……

The newly built administration building, inside the conference room.

The officials were already seated around the rectangular conference table.

Su Nianzhen sat in the main seat, her hands crossed on the table, her eyes calmly watching the television in front of her.

The image on the screen was of the group of people marching in the street.

A burly official slammed his hand on the table: "These people are really asking for it. I suggest we send troops immediately and arrest them all."

The female official next to her pushed up her glasses and retorted, "No, our laws have been restored to pre-disaster standards. Their march was registered and is not illegal. We have no right to arrest people."

"We can't let them keep damaging the official reputation, can we?" The officials immediately started arguing amongst themselves.

Seeing this, Su Nianzhen rubbed her temples with a headache, wondering how Wu Bai would handle the situation.

"Just kill them all." At that moment, Wu Bai's voice rang out from nowhere in the conference room. "And all the forces in the main city, confiscate their property. Destruction precedes reconstruction. How can society progress without eliminating these parasites?"

The meeting room fell silent instantly upon hearing this, and everyone turned to look at Wu Bai, who had appeared beside Su Nianzhen.

The worry on Su Nianzhen's face vanished, replaced by a look of joy.

However, just as she stood up, before she could even see Wu Bai's face clearly, her vision suddenly blurred.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already left the conference room and was in a closed room.

There was only one lamp on the ceiling emitting a faint yellow light, and the dark walls around the room were covered with pits of varying sizes.

"Where is this place?" Su Nianzhen asked.

"You can think of it as the central control room of the fog," Wu Bai explained.

After saying that, he took Su Nianzhen's hand and led her to the control panel.

He placed his hand on the table, and as a blue light swept across his palm, the entire control panel instantly lit up.

A cloud of grayish-white mist rose from the platform and condensed in mid-air into a rectangular floating screen.

The screen is divided into two square recognition boxes: the right recognition box has turned green and is flashing with several Fog Clan characters, while the left recognition box is gray and is waiting for verification.

"Put your hand on the recognition platform," Wu Bai said.

Although Su Nianzhen was puzzled, she did as she was told because she trusted Wu Bai.

As the blue light swept across her palm, a message appeared on the screen confirming the verification, and the dimly lit room instantly became as bright as day.

Activating the Mist Ship requires both operators to have a strength at the Star Core level or above.

Fortunately, under Su Nianbai's supervision and "extra tutoring," Su Nianzhen's strength has successfully broken through to the Star Core level.

Otherwise, with Su Nianbai imprisoned, Wu Bai would not have been able to start the spaceship.

Initially, he didn't intend to find Su Nianzhen, but instead planned to use the Hyper Flash Sword, just like he did when activating the spaceship on Tian Shu Star.

After some investigation, he couldn't find the groove to insert the Hyper Flash Sword, so he had no choice but to call Su Nianzhen.

Su Nianzhen's eyes widened as she looked around the brightly lit room and asked, "Why can the two of us start this thing?"

Now that she is the Grand Commander of the Great Xia Dynasty, her way of thinking and her perspective are no longer those of the simple female student she once was.

Wu Bai looked at Su Nianzhen: "I'll explain this to you later."

"Now, I will leave the solar system with this mist ship."

"As for the calamities on earth, I will leave them for you as whetstones for your trials and growth."

Upon hearing this, Su Nianzhen was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then will the fog on Earth disappear?"

The main city's territory has now expanded to its limit. If the fog disappears, Great Xia will be able to continue expanding outwards until it rebuilds the entire Earth.

Wu Bai nodded, but still solemnly reminded them: "You have been to the universe, so you should know that the current solar system is hidden by this fog."

Once I remove the fog, the solar system will be exposed to the universe again.

In other words, while you are connecting with the universe, you are also attracting hidden dangers within it.

"Next, you will not only have to deal with internal affairs on Earth, but also be ready to face challenges from the universe at any time."

Upon hearing these words, the joy on Su Nianzhen's face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

She nodded seriously: "I understand."

Wu Bai nodded slightly and then escorted her back to the conference room.

After Wu Bai left, Su Nianzhen slammed her hand on the table.

She surveyed the officials present, her tone laced with chilling murderous intent: "Issue the order to raid the homes of all factions. From this day forward, I will not allow any faction other than the official one to appear in the main city."
