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.

"Congratulations, Ancient Immortal Venerable."


Outside the hall, Immortal Venerable Hong Luan had already received a message from Emperor Xi, and immediately clasped her hands in congratulations to Gu Jinlai.


When she addressed Gu Jinlai as "Ancient Immortal Venerable," her tone was slightly peculiar.


Not long ago, Gu Jinlai had just hosted the Immortal Feast, and at that time, they addressed him as "Honorable Daoist Gu."


"Thank you for your efforts along the way, Immortal Venerable Hong Luan."


"It's our honor to be able to assist Ancient Immortal Venerable."


Immortal Venerable Hong Luan quickly adjusted her mindset.


Even though Gu Jinlai had not fully recovered his strength, an Immortal Venerable among the Great Powers need not be overly servile, but the necessary respect and courtesy should not be neglected in the slightest.
