32: Report! The plane is in a newly grown forest!

Inside the Innate Domain.

Jiang Ming stood in the cockpit, his will transforming into an invisible blade at this moment.

It silently sliced precisely along the connection between the wings and the fuselage, the structural seams between the tail and the fuselage, and the partition between the cockpit and the rear passenger area.

This was not a physical cut, but apeeling at the rule level.

Within the Innate Domain, he was the sole physical law.

Immediately, Jiang Ming made a second move.

The Innate Domain, which enveloped the entire plane, began to rapidly contract.

From a massive sphere large enough to encompass an entire Boeing 737, it instantly shrank to only encase the long, cylindrical passenger cabin in the middle.

The next second, he lifted the physical isolation from the outside world.

In the real world, ten thousand meters above the northern mountainous area of Yuzhang City.

The wings that had lost the Innate Domain's support, two scrapped engines, the huge vertical stabilizer, the landing gear... these heavy plane wreckage parts, upon breaking free from the domain'sRestraint, were once again captured by physical rules.

They transformed into burning meteors, trailing long black smoke, emitting sharp whistles, and violently plummeting towards the dark, continuous mountain range below... Ninth Bureau, Temporary Command Center.

On the main screen, the single light dot representing CA4527, after disappearing for several hours, suddenly returned in another form.

It wasn't a complete signal.

Instead, it was a dozen, two dozen scattered fragment signals, plummeting at terrifying speed.

On the radar screen, the numbers representing altitude refreshed frantically, each pointing to the same outcome.

A data analysis expert adjusted his glasses, his hands trembling slightly.

He stood up and reported to Chen Jianguo in the center of the command center, uttering his conclusion with difficulty.

"Report... radar signals indicate... the target disintegrated in mid-air."

"Judging from the debris distribution and descent speed... it matches the aerial collapse model under extreme structural stress."

Mid-air disintegration.

Chen Jianguo stood still, his body swaying almost imperceptibly.

He reached out and grasped the command console in front of him, barely steadying himself.

It's over... Inside the cabin enveloped by the Innate Domain.

Passengers witnessed the hellish scene through the translucent, dark glass-like domain wall.

The massive wings burned as they separated from them.

The heavy engines turned into fireballs, moving away from them.

Other parts of the plane disintegrated before their eyes, plummeting into the bottomless dark abyss.

They were riding in a solitary section of the cabin, suspended ten thousand meters in the air.

The visual impact and psychological shock of witnessing the vehicle they were riding in disintegrate surpassed any words.

Jiang Ming ignored the passengers' state.

He began to control the entire cabin with his will, resisting the strong winds, air resistance, and gravity of the real world.

Descending steadily.

Through the Mental Link established by the Raven Summoning Technique, he had already locked onto the most suitable forced landing spot on the ground.

A remote mountain valley with open terrain and far from human habitation... Yuzhang City, above the northern mountainous area.

The Innate Domain enveloping the cabin appeared from the outside as a pure black sphere, approximately forty meters in diameter, reflecting no light and emitting no energy fluctuations.

It penetrated thick clouds, silently descending towards the ground.

This scene was captured by equipment from several ground units.

"Command post! Command post! This is Search and Rescue Team One!"

A search and rescue team leader, holding military high-powered binoculars, looked at the strange object slowly descending from the sky and shouted into the communicator with a voice trembling from extreme shock.

"Unidentified spherical flying object detected over Zone A-3!"

"Repeat! Unidentified spherical flying object detected! It's descending! It... it's very huge!"

Ninth Bureau Command Center.

Chen Jianguo, hearing the report mixed with loud static from the communicator, suddenly stood up from his chair.

He stared intently at the extremely blurry real-time image transmitted by the drone, which only showed a black dot.

It wasn't disintegration!

He's not dead!

A crazy thought exploded in his mind.

"All units!"

Chen Jianguo snatched the main communication microphone and issued the order.

"Proceed at full speed to the target coordinates! Repeat! Full speed ahead!"

...The cabin was less than five hundred meters from the ground.

Jiang Ming extended his consciousness along the Plant Control perception network.

His will descended into the valley below.

Plant Control (Advanced) — Growth of All Things!

At this moment, the ground of the valley was instantly dyed a tender green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless dormant seeds were awakened, breaking through the soil.

Countless slender vines began to wildly intertwine, entangle, and climb.

Low shrubs, as if on fast-forward, grew to over a person's height in a few seconds.

Even some unknown fungi and mosses, under the catalysis of this immense life energy, grew into a carpet-like thickness.

In just ten seconds.

The originally rugged, rock-strewn valley floor was completely covered by a massive emerald green carpet, dozens of meters thick, woven tightly from countless layers of plants.

The black sphere enveloping the cabin finally landed gently on this incredible emerald green carpet.

The immense impact force was perfectly cushioned and dissipated into nothingness by the soft yet resilient plant layer.

A smooth landing.

Jiang Ming deactivated the Innate Domain.

Boom!

External sounds, light, air currents, and normal gravity all returned in an instant.

Everyone in the cabin felt a strong sense of disorientation, their ears ringing.

Jiang Ming, having accomplished all this, swayed slightly as he stood in the aisle.

A feeling of exhaustion from the depths of his soul surged over him, and his face was pale.

Maintaining the Innate Domain and pushing Growth of All Things to its limit simultaneously was simply too draining.

Outside the cabin, this damaged fuselage lay quietly in the center of the miraculously appeared forest.

Aside from twisted metal structures at a few broken points, its main body was intact.

Inside the cabin, there was silence for a full three seconds.

What followed was not screams of relief, but a collective pilgrimage mixed with awe, fanaticism, and disbelief.

All passengers, including several crew members, slowly and uniformly turned towards Jiang Ming's direction.

Thump.

Thump.

Among the crowd, some felt their legs give out, uncontrollably kneeling to the ground.

One, two, ten... Captain Wang Hai was the first to regain some composure.

He rushed to Jiang Ming's side, looked at his pale face, and asked tremblingly.

"You... how are you?"

Jiang Ming glanced at him and only said three words.

"Locator."

Wang Hai reacted instantly.

He immediately turned and rushed to the emergency equipment compartment at the tail of the plane to activate the emergency locator beacon that could send distress signals globally... Ninth Bureau Command Center.

On the screen, a red light dot representing an emergency distress signal suddenly lit up.

Its location perfectly coincided with the landing point of the "unidentified flying object" just reported.

Chen Jianguo grabbed the communicator.

"Highest order!"

"Ensure the safety of target A-001 at all costs!"

...
