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.

Hao Tianqing stood silently on the deck, leading a group of elites from the All World Alliance, waiting for messages from Huan Ming and Wu Ge.


He knew that Wu Ge would undoubtedly provoke Gu Jinlai, forcing Gu Jinlai to take action, thereby teaching him a lesson without bypassing the hierarch's orders.


To this, Hao Tianqing chose to acquiesce.


Gu Jinlai was different from the Golden Immortals who belonged to the same camp during the Xuanhuang Realm era and went through hardships together.


Nor was he one of those Golden Immortals who surrendered to them and suffered beatings in the worlds they conquered.


To ensure that Gu Jinlai would cooperate honestly with the hierarch's inquiries and clearly explain why the Xuanhuang Realm would hurriedly depart, he thought letting Wu Ge and Huan Ming teach him a lesson first to make him understand the treachery of society was not a bad idea.
