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.

Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing arrived at the venue, where the three Patriarchs and the other four Profound Immortals remained silent.


There was neither a gesture of welcome nor any mockery.


Though the Four Great Families had split from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and shared its heritage, the overt and covert struggles over the past ten thousand years had left little affection between them.


Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing clearly understood this, so they did not engage in pleasantries or attempt to curry favor.


They chose to get straight to the point.


"The Profound Immortal Realm can be the Xuanyuan Sword Sect's, the Bai Family's, the Chi Family's, or the Ji Family's, but it absolutely cannot belong to the Creation Gate, nor can it be Jiang Yufeng's Profound Immortal Realm!"


Chi Xuehe, Bai Shengyang, and Ji Longhua exchanged looks, seemingly satisfied with his statement.
