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.

"Gu Jinlai... Has he really succeeded!? Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist, with one foot into the Immortal Domain!?"


"Among us, a new Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist has emerged!?"


While Star Lord Tian Xiang, Deity of the Moon, Wang Yizhen, Fang Yuchen, and others exchanged glances.


After a long moment, Deity of the Moon slowly exhaled: "I always knew he could do it."


"Gu really accomplished it, and it hasn't been that long."


Wang Yizhen and Fang Yuchen both sighed emotionally.


Although they anticipated this day might come, they never imagined it would arrive so quickly.


Star Lord Tian Xiang was also a bit reflective.


Years ago, when he interacted with Gu Jinlai, he held great hope for his future and thus harbored intentions to maintain friendly ties.
