By the coast, a hundred-meter Star Gate shimmered with flowing light.
Beyond the Star Gate, an army forged of steel stretched as far as the eye could see.
Above the Sky Dome, squadrons of fighter jets streaked across, weaving an iron curtain.
In the distant ocean, scores of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and frigates dotted the seascape, ready for action.
All cannons were aimed at the figure who emerged from the Star Gate.
"In the name of the Federation Command Center, I order you to stand down, or what awaits you is total war," said the voice.
"War?"

Gu Jinlai took a step forward, and his form swelled against the wind, in an instant growing from less than two meters tall to a colossal Chaos Demon God thousands of kilometers high, emitting the brilliance of a white dwarf star from his being, his own gravity causing thunder and lightning, as well as tsunamis and tides within a thousand-mile radius.
He looked down...
At the war weapons that seemed like toys.
He reached out, and a hydrogen bomb fell into his hand.

Within him, the electron-degenerate star core released Helium, Helium elements expanded, and the terrifying high temperature instantly caused Deuterium and Tritium, Hydrogen's isotopes, to fuse, the energy bursting forth, forming a blazing white brilliance on the ocean's surface that was like igniting a sun.
Before this sun's energy could be released, he clapped his hands together, and the dazzling white, mixed with heat in the billions of degrees, was compressed and sealed within his palms, not a fragment escaping.

"I think, you should choose peace." he suggested.

Immortal Master Lingyu and Immortal Master Zhao Xi stood beside Gu Jinlai.


"Based on our probing over this period, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect has established three Grotto Heavens on the other side of the Two Realms Passage! Among them, Daoist Xuan Jian, reputed to be the strongest in combat from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, is personally stationed across the channel, and Master Wanxiang could descend at any moment. You must be extremely cautious on this trip,"


Immortal Master Lingyu solemnly advised.


Zhao Xi sighed from the side, "The other Star Gate we control hasn't reached the window period yet; otherwise, we wouldn't have to step directly into the heavily prepared traps of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."
