The Kunlun Mirror

At that moment, Liu Zhurui's father, Liu Tengkong, and a million soldiers of the Sixth Heavenly Army were looking down from space at the little Nüwa Clan ship.

They weren't the only ones. Delegations from hundreds of civilizations had gathered to wait.

Jellyfish drifted, fearsome beetles hovered, bone-winged creatures loomed like abysses, and bird-shaped beings glowed with golden light...

The Heavenly Heart Civilization, Dragon Clan, Golden Crow, and Eternal Civilization had all sent representatives. Many advanced civilizations from nearby regions, including Bessel and Moya, had come too. The Nomo Civilization, Skyworm, Green Beast, Chasing Light, Azure Toad, and every other civilization in the Zi Wei Faction were present.

The starry void was as crowded as an expo, packed with influential figures.

If some other civilization were about to advance, nowhere near this many people would have come to watch. The Star Alliance would simply have sent a few observers.

But Earth was famous now. Huang Ji had also led the entire star group to defeat the Straw Hat Overlord, sending Great Emperor Zi Wei's prestige soaring to its peak.

Earth had become a celebrity civilization before it had even joined the alliance...

Everyone was waiting to see when those two youngsters would bring the Earthlings into the Star Alliance.

Ships of every species crowded the space beyond Proxima Centauri b. The two people aboard the Nüwa Clan ship sensed none of it. They had no idea anyone was watching them.

"The Gamma-ray Burst has crossed Neptune's orbit. Only four hours remain before it strikes Earth..." Ji Heng's voice was heavy as he stood on the outer deck of a black ship shaped like a dragon's head.

He was now counted among the Dragon Clan, but he had once been an Earthling. He looked forward to this historic moment.
