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.

Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace Assembly Hall.


At this moment, in this hall, twelve Star Lords, representing the supreme ruling class of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, had arrived. Except for two who were in a critical moment of seclusion and couldn't even send out incarnations, all Star Lords were present.


Each Star Lord was carefully viewing the Memory Jade Scroll provided by Gu Jinlai, crafted by Wang Xuanjing, with extreme seriousness.


"How is that possible... Has the Heart of the Cosmic encountered problems?"


"Let's not rush to conclusions yet; we need to clarify whether this is truly an Evil Deity escaped from the Heart of the Cosmic, or... if a Divine Spirit has chosen to fall..."


After a long while, the Star Lords began exchanging views continuously.
