"Old Qian, this is the footage we managed to capture, but it's only a partial scan. There must be an incredibly dense concentration of Transcendent substance around Chen Yongjie, which disrupted our insectoid detectors. Almost 90% of our devices were destroyed!" reported someone on the silver spacecraft, as a holographic projection displayed parts of Old Chen's battle. 0

"It's somewhat terrifying! High-grade automatons, each costing billions, were deemed unbeatable in individual combat and seen as the prototypes of future deep-space super soldiers. Yet, they were utterly overpowered by a Transcendent," commented Qian An, who was in his seventies and one of the senior members of the Qian financial consortium. He had a good relationship with Old Chen and had recently facilitated his transport to the site.0

"Not only were we scanning, but there were also other unknown origin micro-detectors in the area," someone else added.0

Old Qian nodded, understanding that the return of a Transcendent to New World and his first display of power would naturally draw attention from all sides, each trying to get close and obtain first-hand information.0

"Someone has released a video of the Transcendent battle!" exclaimed another person.0

In this era, information networks were highly developed, with virtually no print media remaining, having long since shifted to online operations. Major platforms were fiercely competitive.0

Any sensational news capable of causing a stir would be a prime target...0
