Tang Qi once traversed the endless "Mysterious" to enter the Molten Universe during his Professional Level Promotion, and also opened Magic Portals to instantly reach various parts of Secret Phoenix City, or utilized the power of various Curios including "Diana" to travel extraordinarily.
However, the experience at this moment still felt novel to him.
Ghostly light wrapped around his body, entering the depths of darkness in some unknowable way, he felt as if he had transformed into a beam of light.
And around him, what swiftly passed by was the "game screen" he had personally experienced not long ago.
The Federation's brutal history of nation-building, those commoners, heroes, minor characters, or martyrs, war after war... seamlessly flowed by, much like the illusions many claim to see before death, until the last scene appeared.
It was the end of the war, a group of scarred heroes, with their deceased comrades, began to climb a towering mountain above the storm, lightning, and clouds, a sacred mountain that only existed in imagination; just as the heroes reached the summit, the storm swept through and a blazing white light burst forth like lightning.
When the brilliance subsided, Tang Qi looked ahead.
At this moment, he saw where he was, inside an incredible circular building.
It stood atop the Holy Mountain, surrounded by lightning and white clouds, the roaring of the storm blocked by an invisible barrier, with dark aura enveloping everything outside the building, only inside, bunches of lightning served as "lights."
With the dangerously flickering electric light, Tang Qi saw towering Stone Pillars, a multitude of seats piled up with mottled stone, rooms, and marks everywhere, including symbols of the Eagle's Nest, warriors, thorns... and even richer symbols like the Sheepskin Scroll, national flags.
"The style, similar to the arenas popular during the Dark Era of the Old Continent, but differently, this place is filled with a solemn and sacred aura."
As Tang Qi came to this definition, he saw at this moment.
Electric light surged, and on those ancient seats in his sight, human figures began to flicker rapidly.
He immediately realized, that this unexpectedly was a full-member joint meeting.
Which means, at this moment, the entire Holy Eagle Nest Society was gathering.
With curiosity, Tang Qi looked towards those seats, and unsurprisingly, although the figures were somewhat different, each appearing human figure disguised themselves, including masks, black robes, fog, and various other methods.
Correspondingly, he also encountered surveillance.
A multitude of gazes, as if knowing he was a "newcomer", simultaneously cast over.
The reason for other members to make this judgment was quite simple.
Tang Qi's seat was at the lowest level.
And at this moment, he also saw, on those seats belonging to the same level as his, around a dozen figures appeared.
Their movements, expressions, similar to Tang Qi.
"All newcomers? Recruiting a dozen at once?"
As Tang Qi made this judgment, he also saw several "clumsy newcomers" among the dozen or so newcomers.
Three men and one woman, not doing any cover.
After seeing the disguises of the rest of the members, they started to clumsily use different methods to conceal their own faces.
"They are probably all support class Transcendents, or simply scholars."
Senior members had simultaneously made their evaluations.
Then, those looking at Tang Qi also gave their feedback.
"A promising newcomer!"
"Has a good sense of humor, and experienced."
"An interesting person."
...
The reason the seniors thought this way was simple; Tang Qi's disguise was a bit too special.
Before entering here, he put on the "Existence Mask."
But what he changed into was not a specific person but a cartoon character.
A "Yellow Squirrel" recently popular across Divine Eagle Federation, Europe, and Eternal Heaven Dynasty, wearing a comical Detective Hat, monocle, dressed in a stylish trench coat, properly holding an antique pipe; this flawless "disguise" elicited many light laughs from around the room.
From the voices, it was not hard to discern that it was mostly from women.
Tang Qi satisfied his twist of humor, shoved the pipe into his mouth, and sloppily lay back on his seat, still fitting the persona, the lazy squirrel detective.
At the same moment, an extremely authoritative but ageless and gender-neutral voice resounded within this incredible building.
"The welcome ceremony is over, now, we enter the standard procedure."
"That's it? Not even a clap or a self-introduction, too perfunctory."
Tang Qi commented sarcastically, looking towards the source of the voice.
This towering circular building at the summit of the Holy Mountain, at the center, surprisingly was an abyss, seemingly leading to another world, and hanging above everyone, was a "Tower Top" like a separate giant object, inside were some altars, or something else.
At the very front, were five seats exuding a terrifying authority.
On them, each sat a blurred figure.
Even with Tang Qi's special ability, he could not glean any Information Fragments.
The speaker was that central human figure.
As his voice sounded, the already minimal noise disappeared entirely, and everyone fell into silence.
Tang Qi remembered the standard procedures followed during the meetings of the Holy Eagle Nest Society, raised his head, and immediately looked at the other four "Vice Chairmen."
"According to procedure, every full-member joint meeting signifies that at least one Vice Chairman will bring up a topic?"
