"Primal Jade Pulp?"
"Chaotic Essence Water?"
"Or Taiyi Yin-Yang Liquid?"
"No… how could this planet possibly have any of those?"
"Those are legendary treasures of the universe!"
Babata looked as if he were racking his brain in frustration, making the corner of Jiang Li's mouth twitch.
The hell?!What kind of ridiculous treasure names are these? Can't he name things normally?
"Forget that for now."
Jiang Li shook his head lightly. "Help me connect to War God Palace's virtual space."
Meanwhile.
At the top-floor conference hall of War God Palace—
Everyone's hearts were heavy.
Even those factions that normally disliked the Eagle Nation wore complicated expressions.
Lives were lost. Real, living people had died.
"Why hasn't the First Speaker arrived yet?"
"Has he… also grown afraid?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"He made the Monster Emperor Thunder Dragon Emperor willingly submit, and even the highest-powered laser cannons couldn't scratch him…"
"With strength that terrifying, can the First Speaker really handle this?"
"This…"
Even those with confidence in Jiang Li—Senator Deng, Jia Yi, Amukhan, and several others—remained silent.
"That is… a Starry Sky Behemoth!"
In the midst of panic, a bald white-haired old scholar suddenly cried out, "Yes, that must be a Starry Sky Behemoth!"
"Starry Sky Behemoth? What is that?!"
All eyes immediately locked onto the bald old man.
"I am Clarence, a scholar of the HR Alliance's Ancient Civilization Relic Research Group."
Clarence gave a slight bow, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Some records in ancient relic data mention Starry Sky Behemoths. Judging from the creature in the video, this one is likely an extremely terrifying devouring-type behemoth!"
"Everyone should know—those said to be above War God level are actually experts who've stepped into the Planetary-Level realm…"
"What?!"
"Planetary-Level experts?!"
Many high-ranking officials and War Gods exclaimed.
"Continue."
Hong swept his gaze around. The conference hall instantly fell silent.
"Above Planetary-Level is Star-Level, and above Star-Level is Cosmic-Level…" Clarence's voice trembled more and more as he spoke. "According to the data I know, Cosmic-Level Starry Sky Behemoths have bodies at least a thousand meters long; the terrifying ones exceed ten thousand meters…"
Hearing this—
Everyone felt a tiny bit relieved. They didn't know what "Cosmic-Level" meant, but at least the monster in the video wasn't the strongest type.
"Just tell us—what strength is this Starry Sky Behemoth?"
Hong's face was solemn.
If it were Cosmic-Level, the whole planet would be gone—there would be no point in having this meeting!
"This one is around two hundred meters long. I estimate…"
Clarence nodded gravely. "It should be Star-Level, first or second tier."
Hiss—!
The entire room sucked in cold breaths.
Aside from Hong, Thunder God, and Jiang Li—any warrior present was a full major realm beneath it. Facing a Starry Sky Behemoth would be like a normal Fighter facing something above War God. How could they possibly win?
Even Hong and Thunder God's expressions shifted slightly. They both knew Jiang Li was only at Planetary-Level ninth tier.
"If it's Star-Level, then this is troublesome."
Even Thunder God's brows furrowed tightly.
"May I ask something?"
Former Third Speaker Mœhnderson asked gravely, staring at Hong and Thunder God. "Is our First Speaker, Inspector Jiang… a Star-Level expert?"
"Maybe Jiang Li thought the Thunder Dragon Emperor had appeared again."
Thunder God only shook his head.
That answer—
Made every heart present sink like a stone.
Even humanity's strongest hadn't reached Star-Level. Where could humanity go from here?
Ding!
Suddenly—
The elevator doors to the conference hall slid open.
Everyone instinctively turned.
"First Speaker!"
"Greetings, First Speaker!"
The senators, War Gods, and high-level representatives of every major faction all bowed slightly.
The man in the golden robe… Jiang Li.
The strongest person in the world.The First Speaker of War God Palace.The undisputed number one on Earth!
"Lingling, you really are here."
Jiang Li walked casually to Lingling's side. His gaze swept across the big screen showing the Golden-Horned Beast wreaking havoc in the Eagle Nation. "Since everyone's gathered—can someone tell me where that little fellow is right now?"
?!!
The room erupted in disbelief.
This was a Star-Level Starry Sky Behemoth!
"First Speaker, this is not the Thunder Dragon Emperor…"
Mœhnderson frowned and reminded, "This is a Starry Sky Behemoth. According to ancient relic data, it is a Star-Level behemoth. It is certainly not some 'little fellow'."
"Hubby…"
Lingling clutched Jiang Li's arm, eyes full of worry.
"I know."
Jiang Li nodded softly. He patted Lingling's hand and said, "This is a Golden-Horned Beast."
"It's easy to judge its maturity. In the juvenile stage, it only has one horn. In the growth stage, the second horn starts forming…"
"Right now, the second horn has only just begun to protrude."
"A juvenile Golden-Horned Beast—if not a little fellow, then what?"
Hearing that—
The highest tier of Earth's elites all looked at each other, speechless.
Juvenile-wise, yes, that technically was a little one…
He wasn't wrong at all?!
But still…
"Jiang Li, you're confident against a Star-Level?"
Hong narrowed his eyes, voice trembling slightly. "Don't tell me…"
"You broke through again?"
That single word—again—sent a tremor through the entire room.
If true, humanity had hope.
If true…
Then this cultivation speed was beyond absurd.Was he even human anymore?
Under everyone's stunned gazes—
"By luck, I managed to break through."
Just five simple words—
And the entire hall went dead silent, as if someone hit the mute button.
Then—
Shhhhhh!!!A wave of sharp inhalations.
Jiang Li only smiled modestly. "So…"
"Will someone tell me…"
"Where the little fellow is?"
!!!
The entire top-floor conference hall stirred in excitement and urgency.
Orders were sent out immediately. Every faction, every major country mobilized everything they had to locate the Golden-Horned Beast.
Meanwhile Jiang Li let Babata exit the virtual War God Palace and simply wait.
"Good heavens!!!"
The moment Babata manifested, he screamed, "What in the—there's actually a Golden-Horned Beast on this planet?! And it's still in the juvenile stage!!!"
"Damn it, that's an absolutely priceless treasure!"
"Jiang Li, with your spiritual force, you could definitely possess the juvenile Golden-Horned Beast!"
"Possess it!"
"Possess it!"
"Possess it…"
