Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Miami, on the East Coast of the United States.

The night was deep, and the salty sea breeze blew through the gaps in the blinds, brushing against Vivian's face, which was covered in cold sweat.

Ever since he inexplicably received the thirty million US dollars and was forced to take on the task of protecting the strange egg, Vivian has not had a good night's sleep.

Immense wealth brings not joy, but a heavy burden of fear and anxiety.

He lost his job at the FBI and moved with his family to this beachfront apartment in Miami, trying to escape the vortex of Washington, but the inner torment followed him relentlessly.

He always felt that an invisible eye was watching him from the shadows. The rooster that laid the egg, the cold, mechanical voice, and the egg that he carefully hid in the safe, emitting a faint glow, were all like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

Tens of millions of US dollars? There's no such thing as easy money!

He dared not tell his wife Emily the truth, and could only fabricate a lie, saying that he had retired early and received a generous severance package. Looking at the innocent smiles of his wife and daughter Sarah, Weaving was filled with guilt and fear; he was afraid that the rooster would make its threat come true at any moment.

Tonight, he woke up from a nightmare again, his heart pounding wildly.

He tiptoed into the living room, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and tried to numb his tense nerves with alcohol. Just as he picked up the glass, he caught a glimpse of something unusual out of the corner of his eye.

He turned his head sharply and saw that the strange egg, which should have been locked in the bedroom safe, was now quietly floating in the center of the living room, about a foot off the ground.

It seemed to have grown larger than before, and the strange patterns on its surface flowed slowly like living things, emitting a soft yet undeniable golden halo that illuminated the entire living room in shifting light and shadow.

The wine glass in Vivian's hand clattered onto the carpet, spilling amber liquid, but he was oblivious. A chill ran from his feet to the top of his head, making his blood seem to freeze.

“Viven…” A cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang out, as if echoing directly in the depths of his mind, or as if coming from all directions, with a metallic, friction-like quality, “Your mission is about to be completed.”

Vivian trembled violently, his teeth chattering uncontrollably: "What...what do you want to do?"

"Now, complete your final task!" The voice was devoid of any emotion, like a pronouncement of judgment.

Before he could finish speaking, the suspended egg suddenly burst forth with blinding golden light, instantly engulfing the entire room. Vivian instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, but felt countless slender yet incredibly strong strands of light shoot out from the egg, like living vines, instantly binding him tightly.

"Ah—!" Vivian let out a shrill scream. He felt as if his body had been thrown into a furnace, every inch of his skin and every bone was being burned and dissolved.

Even more terrifying, he could clearly feel his life force, mental strength, and even memories and emotions being frantically drained by these light strands and continuously flowing towards the egg.

He tried to struggle, but his body was completely out of his control. He could only watch helplessly as he grew weaker and weaker, his consciousness fading. Images of his wife Emily's gentle smile and his daughter Sarah's adorable face flashed through his mind…

"No...Emily...Sarah..."

He used his last bit of strength to let out a weak cry, but the sound was quickly swallowed up by the excruciating pain and despair.

The light gradually dimmed, and Vivian's figure, like a sand painting scattered by the wind, turned into specks of light and completely disappeared into the air, as if it had never existed.

After absorbing everything from Viven, the egg swelled to the size of a basketball, its surface patterns becoming clearer and more complex, and its radiance becoming even deeper. Fine cracks began to appear on the eggshell, making a "crackling" sound.

The cracks spread rapidly, and finally, with a soft "bang," the eggshell shattered completely, the fragments dissipating into golden specks of light. And where the egg had once been, now stood a gigantic eye without eyelids!

The eye hovered in mid-air, its pupil a bottomless, pitch-black vortex, the whites of its eyes covered with blood-red threads. It slowly rotated, coldly and indifferently scanning the empty living room, as if scrutinizing this entirely new world.

Late at night, in the outskirts of ZZ City, Dragon Kingdom, deep within a heavily guarded secret warehouse.

The thick reinforced concrete walls isolated the warehouse from all the noise of the outside world. The interior was dimly lit, with only a few low-wattage emergency lights emitting a faint glow that barely illuminated the empty space.

The air was filled with the smell of dampness and dust, as well as a faint metallic rust.

The lowest level of the warehouse was designated as a more secluded area. Here, the floor was covered with thick shock-absorbing rubber pads, and the walls were fitted with sound-absorbing materials to ensure that no noise from inside could escape.

Six enormous obsidian slabs stand silently in the center of this area. They are arranged in a circle, like relics of some ancient ritual. Each slab is as large as a double bed, with a rough, cold surface, covered with the marks of time.

The crisscrossing blood grooves on the stone slab appeared even deeper in the dim light, as if they held endless secrets. The blue-purple crystals condensed in the blood grooves reflected a faint light, like sleeping stars, exuding an eerie and unsettling aura.

These stone slabs were brought back by Xu Hao from the ruins of the destroyed altar after his great battle with the Dragon God in Tokyo.

To ensure absolute safety, they were placed in this top-secret warehouse and guarded by dedicated personnel in shifts around the clock.

Tonight, two experienced professional warriors are on duty, vigilantly observing their surroundings and meticulously carrying out orders.

The tasks assigned by Director Xu must be carried out strictly!

Time ticked by, and the warehouse was eerily quiet, almost deathly still, save for the faint hum of the emergency lights and the occasional soft breathing of the soldiers. Then, something unexpected happened.

The originally dull blue-purple crystal suddenly began to shimmer slightly. At first, it was just a faint light, flickering like a firefly, but soon the flickering frequency increased and the light became stronger, as if something was being awakened.

The soldiers on duty immediately noticed the abnormality. They quickly went into combat mode, their nerves on edge, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.

However, to their surprise, the stone slab did not explode, nor did any creature appear. Instead, it slowly and without warning began to become illusory.

Like mist in the sunlight, or a reflection in the water, the edges of the stone slabs began to blur, and their original hard texture seemed to be melting away.

The bluish-purple light grew increasingly intense, like six miniature suns, illuminating the entire enclosed space in an eerie purplish-red hue. The warriors were stunned by this sudden phenomenon. They stared wide-eyed, trying to see what was happening, only to find their vision blurring and everything around them beginning to distort and warp.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful, indescribable force erupted from within the stone slab, like an invisible vortex, instantly engulfing the entire area. The warriors felt their bodies lighten, as if they had lost gravity, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to become hollow.

They tried to grasp something, but found that everything around them had become ethereal and intangible; the walls within reach and the solid ground had vanished like phantoms.

The crimson light reached its peak, then suddenly contracted, as if swallowed by a black hole, and vanished without a trace in an instant.

When the light faded, the lowest level of the warehouse, the area where six huge stone slabs had once stood, became empty, leaving only a cold floor and empty rubber mats, as if those six heavy stone slabs had never existed.

Meanwhile, in distant Miami, USA, the mysterious eggshell shattered completely at that very moment.
