After deep reflection and intense discussion, the Lingquan City Committee unanimously decided to announce the news Yan Luo brought back to the public.

The unusual phenomena of the Forbidden Abyss could attract more attention and simultaneously allow the United Government to allocate resources to Lingquan City.

It's still somewhat financially strained to rely on Lingquan City alone to eradicate an Abyss.

Even though trade between the Blue Star and Elf World started in Lingquan City, this year's tax data for Lingquan City should look better, the nascent trade between the two worlds can't bring much benefit to Lingquan City.

Currently, Lingquan City urgently needs money, and future income won't be of any use to them.

Thus, the news about the Forbidden Abyss spread widely.

Eyes from all over the world were on Lingquan City.

Recently, news about this city has constantly been circulating on the internet, making this unremarkable city gain a lot of attention.

But none of the previous buzz compares to the news this time.

After all, the news Lingquan City announced to the public is related to the 'source of the Abyss.'

From the photos and videos released by Lingquan City one can see the uniqueness of the Forbidden Abyss, many scholars researching the Abyss went mad and immediately submitted applications to their institutions wanting to immediately go to Lingquan City to research the Forbidden Abyss.

Global attention is now focused on the Forbidden Abyss; everyone wants to uncover the secrets of the Forbidden Abyss and understand how the Abyss was formed.

However, this news is not entirely good news for the citizens of Lingquan City.

If scholars want to study the Forbidden Abyss, the Abyss Entrance would likely have to be preserved, but not everyone can accept living next to an Abyss Entrance in the city.

In fact, it is rather few who can accept such a thing.

——Compared to the city population, the population of the exploration towns is indeed 'very few.'

Therefore, after the Lingquan City Government showed some intent to preserve the Forbidden Abyss, the residents of Lingquan City protested, some even rushed to the city government carrying signs and shouting.

Among them were relatives of those who died when the Abyss Entrance appeared in the city; even though they knew the real 'culprits' were the Abyssal Believers, they still couldn't help but accommodate the Forbidden Abyss.

This Abyss's mere existence is a kind of evil and must be completely erased from the world!

Despite the United Government sniffing out something unusual and capturing some Abyssal Believers and antisocial elements, the majority indeed held these thoughts, which allowed Abyssal Believers to incite them.

Now the Lingquan City Government is in a dilemma.

Researching the Forbidden Abyss might help them understand the reasons behind the Abyss formation, yet the citizens of Lingquan City must be considered; their protests are not without reason.

If they proceed without explanation, they might spark public outrage.

A solution that satisfies both sides must be found to resolve this issue.

......

Since returning to Fortress No. 1, Yan Luo seldom left his dormitory, even for his three meals a day he had a robot deliver them.

He didn't know what he was thinking, only that he didn't want to move or think, and no matter who messaged him, he didn't reply.

The reason being simply that what he saw was just too shocking.

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, no one would anticipate that the true form of the Forbidden Abyss is a planet shattered more than half.

People merely aware of this through photos and videos simply can't comprehend the shock Yan Luo experienced at that time.

He lay in his dormitory for three days, finally calming down.

No matter what, regardless of how the Forbidden Abyss became like this, this Abyss must be eliminated!

Yan Luo got up from his bed, composed himself before the mirror, and strode out of the dormitory.

He rushed to the cafeteria to feast, to motivate himself.

The number of Hunters in the cafeteria was increasing, leading to the enlargement of the three main forts surrounding the Abyss Entrance.

Yan Luo's arrival went unnoticed; many eyes were fixed on the two groups fighting, while many cheered for either side.

Piling a full tray of food, Yan Luo walked to an empty table and devoured the meal like a whirlwind.

As he was eating, Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan quietly appeared in front of him.

"Hey, finally willing to come out?" Chen Shan said with a smile.

Yan Luo glanced up, then buried himself back in his meal, showing not the slightest intention to respond to Chen Shan.

Chen Shan and Wu Zechuan exchanged a glance and shrugged.

Yan Luo now seemed like a starving ghost, continuously stuffing food into his mouth, finishing a full tray of food in under two minutes.

After eating, Yan Luo didn't plan to stop; he went to the serving counter to fill the tray again.

Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan were leisurely eating their lunch, watching Yan Luo wolf down his food ignited an unexpected hunger in them, quickening their pace as they ate.

Soon, Yan Luo finished another tray of food.

Though not yet full, he decided to rest a while before continuing.

So, Yan Luo looked towards Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan seated across, "Is there something you wanted from me?"

Wu Zechuan smiled, "Originally there was, but seeing you eat so joyfully, not anymore."

Since returning, Yan Luo had shut himself in, locked in his dormitory, not responding to messages; he even chased away those knocking to inquire about him, clearly unwell.

Therefore, Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan were somewhat worried about his condition.

Seeing him eat so cheerfully now showed he had adjusted, and things were fine.

Yan Luo wiped his mouth with a napkin, "You worried about me? What do I have to worry about. Before the Abyss is thoroughly destroyed, I won't be dispirited. I shut myself in for three days only because the shock was too great, so I rested in my room for three days."

Indeed, something Yan Luo would do.

Hearing Yan Luo's honest and straightforward words, Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan laughed.

Then Wu Zechuan sobered up, troubled, "Given the results you uncovered, the Forbidden Abyss isn't the size of a planet, but it covers half a planet which makes finding the Master of the Abyss very difficult."

Even though Wu Zechuan is a Second Rank Elemental Master, if he wants, he can cross from one side of the Forbidden Abyss to the other in two hours.

That's still because Wu Zechuan needs to control his speed; if not, he need only convert the substances constructing him entirely into electricity, making himself weightless, reaching sublight speed.

Yet in doing so, converting electricity back to substance is quite troublesome, and in such a state, Wu Zechuan lacks physical attack power and emitted light pressure isn't strong enough to damage high-level Demons.

Even with Wu Zechuan's strength, searching for the Master of the Abyss in such a vast area is an exceedingly troublesome matter.

Yan Luo couldn't help but remain silent.

Just as Wu Zechuan said, it's impossible to eliminate the Forbidden Abyss in a short time; unless Hunters encounter the Master of the Abyss and escape to inform them, it could take one or two years to eradicate the Forbidden Abyss.

Sighing, Yan Luo stood up, picked up his tray, and headed to the serving counter again.

If only he could be a bit stronger...

If he was a little stronger, could harness the Magnetic Field for flight, he could roam anywhere, searching for the Master of the Abyss.

He was different from Wu Zechuan; Wu Zechuan can't search endlessly, but he can.

With enough Magic Power, he could hunt for the Master of the Abyss continuously.

Thinking this, Yan Luo looked at his tray.

Focusing on his right hand holding the tray, it trembled slightly and slowly lifted.

Yan Luo exhaled, letting the tray drop back into his hand.

That's all he could achieve now; there's still a long way to go before he can harness the Magnetic Field for flight.

So, he must tighten his training from now on!
