A Region-level Disaster Portal will release a Barrier, locking down a fixed area.
One cannot leave at all until The Gate is cleared.
The last time Bai Nian encountered a Region-level Disaster Portal was during the Awakening Ceremony.
“Chen Yi said I couldn’t leave, does he know?”
She immediately turned her head toward the front row, only to find that the two men had already gotten off the plane.
Bai Nian didn’t have time to overthink it; she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave the plane as well.
“Respected passengers, due to a sudden emergency, we hope everyone will cooperate and remain on the plane for the time being until members of the Heavenly Dynasty Nine Provinces arrive.”
At that moment, the Broadcast suddenly rang out.
“Miss, you cannot leave the plane right now.”
Seeing Bai Nian approaching, the lead flight attendant immediately reached out to stop her.
“I am a Rank 3 Hunter of the Hunter Guild.”
As she spoke, she took out her Hunter Badge.
Although the Hunter Guild was a civilian organization, the fact that it could stand tall within the Huaxia Alliance and possessed its own unique system meant it was naturally recognized by the public.
Seeing this, the flight attendant didn’t ask further questions and decisively chose to let her pass.
Although Bai Nian now possessed four Divine Marks, she was still defined as a Rank 3 Hunter.
But when she stepped off the plane and saw the scene outside, she was shocked.
A golden light curtain shrouded the sky, boundless and infinite, extending far into the distance.
It dispelled the darkness of the night, appearing like a divine miracle descending upon the world.
“This range…..”
Bai Nian was stunned.
She looked up at the sky, her face full of shock.
The Barrier shrouded the entire Tianmu City!
“Exactly what level gate is this?”
She looked toward the south, where a golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, emitting an incomparably dazzling radiance.
The Disaster Gate was right there, not far from the airport.
“There’s no way to leave Tianmu City now, I might as well go take a look.”
Thinking this, she stepped forward and walked toward the direction of The Gate.
Because it happened so suddenly, and it was the middle of the night—combined with the airport being located on the outskirts of the city—hardly anyone could rush there at this moment.
Bai Nian was right at the primary scene.
When she arrived before this gate, she was once again shaken.
The magnificent golden gate was like a High-rise building, more than twice the size of the passenger plane she had been on.
It far exceeded any Disaster Gate she had seen before.
At this moment, the gate was tightly shut, covered in strange patterns.
Golden light surged occasionally as if it were breathing.
In addition, there were four strange totems on it, though their meaning was unknown.
And the two figures standing beneath the gate appeared so tiny by comparison.
As Bai Nian walked forward, Chen Yi heard the footsteps and looked back.
“Bai Nian, what are you doing here?”
“I’m doing exactly what you’re doing,” she said, spreading her hands helplessly.
“Bai Nian, I know you have some strength and have cleared a few Disaster Gates before, but this situation is different. You cannot go in,” Chen Yi said with a powerful, resonant voice.
A strange look flashed through Bai Nian’s eyes.
Just as she was about to ask him what right he had to control her, she saw him take out an identification card.
“I am the Team Leader of the Sixth Squad, Magic Capital Division of the Kunlun organization under the Huaxia Alliance. I have the authority to take control of everything here. Now, I order you to leave this place!”
“Kunlun?”
Bai Nian was startled.
She had naturally heard of this organization.
It gathered all the elites of the Huaxia Alliance, and they were specifically responsible for competing in the National Fate Instance.
In terms of authority, Kunlun existed independently.
Once they appeared somewhere, they gained the highest power of command.
Whether it was the Heavenly Dynasty Nine Provinces or the Careerist Association, they all had to obey orders unconditionally, to say nothing of a civilian organization like the Hunter Guild.
Even in the face of Alliance interests, the Heavenly Clan would have to cooperate obediently upon seeing them.
Kunlun, an elite of the elite organization, was specifically responsible for handling high-level gates and contending with other Alliances.
Their presence here meant… the unique Disaster Gate before her was a high-level gate!
“This is a National Fate Instance?!”
Bai Nian cried out in surprise.
Chen Yi remained silent, but the middle-aged man beside him took the initiative to explain:
“Do you see the totems above? Those four represent that a total of four Alliances have been selected. One of their cities is also currently suffering from a lockdown by a Region-level Disaster Portal.”
“Can I take a look?”
Bai Nian looked at him.
The middle-aged man chuckled, completely ignoring Chen Yi beside him.
“Of course you can.”
With this master’s affirmation, Bai Nian naturally didn’t have to worry about anything and boldly stepped forward.
“Master, this doesn’t follow the rules.”
Chen Yi looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly.
“What does it matter? Does Kunlun dare to control me?”
The middle-aged man acted as if he didn’t care at all.
Seeing Chen Yi being rebuffed, Bai Nian couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mister, are you very strong? How many Divine Marks do you have?”
“How many do you think I have?”
The middle-aged man smiled and asked back.
Bai Nian thought about it.
As a division Team Leader of Kunlun, Chen Yi possessed over a dozen Divine Marks.
If this middle-aged man wasn’t bragging…
“Forty?”
she said, somewhat unsure.
the man shook his head and laughed.
“Ninety-five.”
“If you don’t want to say, then fine.”
Bai Nian curled her lip and turned her gaze toward the Disaster Gate.
Just like other gates, the twisted patterns on it began to come to life, gradually converging into lines of small text.
[Level Five Region-level Disaster Portal]
[Status: Sealed]
[Remaining Time: 9 Days, 23 Hours, 49 Minutes]
[Selected Alliances: Huaxia Alliance, Free Alliance, Winter Alliance, Southeast Alliance]
[Participant Limit: 100 people per side]
[Entry Conditions: Above four Divine Marks, below fifteen Divine Marks]
The information displayed on it was actually incredibly detailed, completely different from the Level Three Gate information Bai Nian had seen before.
“So this is a National Fate Instance? Four hundred people are participating,” she muttered.
“Generally speaking, the best-case scenario is that half survive,” the middle-aged man replied casually.
“You’ve seen it, now it’s time to leave, right?”
Chen Yi spoke up at this time.
Bai Nian glanced at him and sighed.
A gate of this level was completely beyond her reach, and she didn’t want to seek death either.
But just as Bai Nian was about to turn and leave, the System’s voice suddenly rang in her mind.
[Acts of cowardice shall not be tolerated!]
[Daily Random Task: Enter the Disaster Gate and emerge victorious]
[Reward: Career Advancement of Profession Gift]
[Punishment: None]
Career Advancement?!
Bai Nian was shocked inwardly the moment she saw this Mission.
She had finally waited for this opportunity again.
She stopped in her tracks, looked back at the Disaster Gate, and firmed her resolve to enter.
It just so happened that she now had four Divine Marks, which exactly met the threshold.
Seeing Bai Nian’s expression, the middle-aged man revealed a slight smile, while Chen Yi’s brow furrowed even deeper.
“You cannot go in.”
“I have four Divine Marks.”
