I Created a Containment Object at the Start, and Became a God

38: Dome Zero Sanctuary!Meanwhile, in the dense forest on the outskirts of the Li Family Estate, three figures appeared silently atop the tall canopy.

They were dressed in dark combat suits specially made by the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs Investigation, the Ω emblem on their chests gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

The captain leading them, Zhang Ji, crouched on a branch, his tactical goggles scanning the silent estate: ”Something’s not right... The energy readings have reached C-rank, so why is there no sound of battle?”

Team member Xiao Zhang quickly checked the energy monitor in his hand: ”Coordinates confirmed, it’s in the core area of the estate. The peak just broke 7000 Gamma, definitely a mid-to-high C-rank level.”

He adjusted the frequency, ”And the instrument shows... at least four independent energy sources are active. Two of them are C-rank; the highest is 7000, the other is 5100, and the other two are around 3000.”

”Four, and two of them are C-rank?” Zhang Ji’s tactical glove crushed half a branch.

As the captain of Team One from the Longcheng branch in Chuanxi, he knew all too well what this meant—a single C-rank UMA was enough to destroy an entire county, yet the Li family had gathered two at once!

Team member Xiao Wang suddenly lowered his voice: ”captain, could it be... that experiment?” He pointed to the confidential file pulled up on the tactical tablet—【Conglomerate UMA Research Licensing Ordinance】.

Zhang Ji, of course, knew of this gray rule.

The government tacitly allowed prestigious families and conglomerates like the Li and Yang families to research low-tier UMAs, even permitting them to use death row inmates for live experiments.

After all, the Gene Agent and weapon modules extracted from UMAs were indeed highly effective when combating cults and wild UMAs.

But C-rank... that had already crossed an absolute red line!

Just then, Xiao Wang suddenly exclaimed: ”captain! That 5100 Gamma energy source is rapidly decaying—it’s gone!”

Zhang Ji snatched the monitoring tablet, only to see that the light representing the second C-rank UMA had indeed completely vanished, as if instantly erased by some existence.

He stared at the silent Li Family Estate, countless streams of data flashing across his compound eyes: ”What on earth happened in there...”

Without hesitation, Zhang Ji ripped open his combat suit. His back bulged violently, and eerie honeycomb-like patterns appeared beneath his skin.

With the sound of tearing leather, six pairs of transparent insect wings burst from his back, and his compound eyes transformed completely into a grid-like structure similar to a bee’s.

”Swarm reconnaissance mode activated.” His voice became like the buzzing of a swarm.

Countless micro-venomous bees poured out from the honeycomb pores, rushing toward the estate like a black cloud.

The compound eyes of every venomous bee were connected to Zhang Ji’s visual nerves, instantly projecting the scene inside the estate onto his tactical goggles—

The basement was a mess, with white jade fragments and green mucus splattered everywhere.

Baihu was wiping the silkworm blood from the corner of his mouth, while Li Songzhou sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

And most shockingly, a two-and-a-half-meter-tall dark gold armored creature was slowly approaching them.

”What is that?” Zhang Ji’s swarm vision was suddenly disrupted, and all the venomous bees lost control and crashed as they approached the creature.

The Iron Blood Warrior coldly scanned the twitching venomous bees on the ground, and after confirming there was no threat, ignored them.

Baihu walked over slowly and crouched down, picking up a dying venomous bee with his fingertips: ”Where did this little thing pop out from?”

Li Songzhou stepped forward to check, his expression suddenly grave: ”This is the venomous bee of captain Zhang Ji from the Longcheng Investigation Bureau! I’ve seen him use this ability before.” He looked around nervously, ”It seems we’ve been targeted by the Investigation Bureau.”

Upon hearing this, Baihu immediately lost interest: ”Tsk, so it’s just the official’s lackeys.” He clapped his hands and stood up, ”Boring, time to go.”

Li Songzhou hurriedly and politely tried to persuade him to stay: ”Brother Bai, why not stay a few more days and let me play the host...”

”No need.” Baihu waved his hand, ”The Master has more important matters to attend to.”

Li Songzhou nodded in understanding, the dark gold mark on his palm lighting up.

A spatial rift opened out of thin air, and the Iron Blood Warrior stepped into it without hesitation, his figure instantly fading and disappearing.

He glanced at the departing Iron Blood Warrior, ”That guy isn’t interested in anything except hunting, don’t take it to heart.”

”I’ll leave the matter of establishing the sanctuary to you.” Baihu instructed before stepping into the rift.

”Rest assured.” Li Songzhou smiled confidently, ”The Li family has no shortage of resources and manpower.”

The spatial rift slowly closed, and Baihu’s figure disappeared completely.

Li Songzhou looked around the chaotic basement, snapped his fingers, and a new spatial passage opened before him.

He stepped out and instantly appeared in the surveillance room.

”Ah!” The Li family members, who were anxiously watching the screens, were startled by the sudden appearance of Li Songzhou.

Because the previous battle had damaged the surveillance, the screens had long since turned to static; they had no idea what had happened in the basement.

”Brother!” Li Songyun was the first to rush into his arms, her voice choked with tears, ”It’s so good that you’re okay...”

Li Songzhou gently stroked his sister’s hair: ”It’s fine now, everything is resolved.” He looked up at his grandfather, ”I’ve worried you, Grandfather.”

Li Xiaohan’s hand, leaning on his cane, trembled slightly, and he let out a long sigh of relief: ”It’s good that you’re fine... it’s good that you’re fine...” The old man’s eyes were filled with lingering fear and relief.

Li Jingyao and Gu Minghui also crowded around, carefully checking if their son was injured. The cousins were all chattering and asking questions:

”Cousin, what was that monster just now?”

”How could those silk threads move?”

”And who was the armored giant that appeared at the end?”

Li Jingyao frowned and shouted sternly: ”Shut up, all of you! Now is not the time to ask these things!” He turned to his wife, ”Minghui, take the children out first.”

Gu Minghui nodded in understanding, pulling Li Songyun and the other juniors away.

As she passed by her son, she touched Li Songzhou’s arm worriedly and whispered: ”It’s good that you’re fine.”

When only Li Xiaohan, Li Jingyao, Li Jingting, and Li Songzhou remained in the surveillance room.

Li Xiaohan broke the silence first, his voice filled with awe: ”Those two... no,” he paused and corrected himself, ”those two existences, are they the... force you intend for the Li family to join?”

Li Songzhou nodded solemnly: ”Indeed. The Master and his envoys are far beyond mortal imagination.”

Li Jingyao asked eagerly: ”Were they the ones who saved Songyun and extended Father’s life before?”

After receiving his son’s affirmative reply, this usually composed eldest son of the Li family could not hide his excitement, ”Such great power... it’s simply like a god!”

”Immortality...” Li Jingting muttered to himself, a fanatical light bursting in his eyes, ”The path to immortality that so many dream of is now right before us!”

He looked at Li Xiaohan excitedly, ”Father is the best proof! A hundred-year-old man who was at the end of his rope is now full of vitality again; this is nothing short of a miracle!”

The three of them began to breathe rapidly. Despite having just experienced a supernatural scene of terror, the temptation of immortality was enough to overcome all fear.

Li Songzhou took the opportunity to display the dark gold mark on his palm: ”The spatial power the Master bestowed upon me is just an insignificant favor.”

He looked around at the three elders, ”If our Li family serves with sincerity, what we gain will far exceed imagination.”

Upon hearing this, the two brothers, Li Jingyao and Li Jingting, looked at their father simultaneously, their eyes full of inquiry.

Li Xiaohan, however, shook his head slowly, looking at Li Songzhou with a firm gaze: ”From this day on, you have full authority over the Li family. Do whatever you want, and the entire family will support you with all its might.”

Li Songzhou bowed excitedly: ”Your grandson will definitely not fail the trust placed in me!”

Just then, Li Jingyao suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously: ”By the way, does this... force have a name?”

Li Songzhou paused slightly, the information Lin Zhi had transmitted through the mark appearing in his mind. He slowly looked up, his voice carrying a solemn rhythm:

”The Dome · Sanctuary Zero.”
