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.

At this moment, Gu Jinlai was walking on a rural path thousands of miles away from the port city of the Immortal Shadow Association.


He now had a preliminary understanding of the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm and naturally needed to move on to the next step of his strategic planning.


"My goal in coming to the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm has always been to obtain the magic skills to oppose the Evil God. To acquire these skills, I must at least come into contact with the top figures of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, the fourteen elders named after the Taiyin Star and the Southern Dipper Six Stars, Beidou Seven Stars. As for the struggle between the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and the rebel forces, it's not something I should get involved in."


The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty is not a place of benevolence.
