Blue Star Federation
Besides Edward, Jonas, Robert, and Galis, among other important figures from the Starshine Federation, were also present in the conference room.
There were at least a dozen people.
These dozen or so people basically represent the entire Starshine Federation.
The Apocalypse Project has been established for more than five years. In order to win re-election, Edward has to unite more allies. Although he will have to share the benefits of the Immortal Realm, it is better than getting nothing at all.
However, upon hearing Edward's words, everyone present looked extremely solemn.
"War!?"
"Yes, war."
Edward solemnly said, "After several years of work by Edlun and others in the Realm of Immortality, we have finally obtained all the information about the Realm of Immortality. That world... although it has all kinds of treasures that can help us live for two hundred, three hundred, five hundred years, or even a thousand years, it also has extremely powerful life forms. Some of these life forms have even reached the limit that our civilization can resist."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Defense Minister Garrison.
The female minister, who appeared to be in her early forties, quickly had her assistant unfold a document. "You are all already aware of the data we have obtained in the Realm of Immortality over the years, as well as the levels of cultivators in that world. From the body refinement equivalent to a strong knight to the immortal beings who have lived for thousands of years, they can be divided into more than a dozen ranks. We don't need to pay attention to life forms below the Celestial Person level; our soldiers with heavy weapons are more than enough to shoot them down. In fact, we have the means to confront Celestial Person and Saints."
As they were speaking, two more documents were projected onto the virtual instrument.
"The key is this kind of life form called a True Immortal on Earth... also known as a Virtual Immortal, and the terrifying existence that stands at the top of the world of immortality, which is the ultimate goal of all of us—the True Immortal who resides in the world!"
This document was clearly meticulously compiled and produced by a large number of staff, and the virtual projection it produced looked enormous even in the conference room.
"First are the True Immortals of the Land. They cultivate a special existence called the Sacred Body. This special existence involves refining rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures into their bodies, making them exist in both material and energy forms. They can reach a height of twenty meters, with a few reaching thirty meters. Their weight is around one hundred tons, and they also possess a top speed of Mach 6."
Jialisi explained it herself.
"Twenty or thirty meters... that's the height of a seven or eight-story building... a weight of over a hundred tons, and a maximum speed of six times the speed of sound..."
Those present were able to emerge from the brutal political struggles; they were all well-versed in common sense.
Even if something is missing, their assistants and staff will promptly explain it to them.
Therefore, they fully understood the terrifying destructive effect that such a monster would unleash on the battlefield.
"Land Immortals are one thing, but the real problem is those terrifying beings called World-Residual Immortals."
Galis took a deep breath. "This is data compiled and sent by Edren and his men before their base was destroyed. The immortal being who attacked them was an astonishing 42 meters tall! According to the standard building height of our Starry Federation, that's equivalent to a thirteen-story building. Standing on the ground, he was taller than the control tower of our most advanced Jet-class aircraft carrier! His body was so powerful that it could withstand the fire of M245 heavy artillery shells..."
She explained everything one by one, and each piece of data she presented made the eyes of the important figures in the room widen in surprise.
"What's most terrifying is his speed..."
Jiali released a large amount of data. "This data was obtained by thousands of elite soldiers with their lives. The average speed of that immortal being who resides in the world is nine times the speed of sound, but the maximum burst speed has reached sixteen times the speed of sound!"
After saying that, she paused, then added, "This is a speed that no conventional weapon can ever achieve."
"Sixteen times the speed of sound!? Faster than the mech that destroyed the Celestial Observatory not long ago!?"
"Humans can actually be this powerful?!"
"These terrifying life forms, who say they can live for thousands of years, I absolutely believe it. To some extent, they are no longer simply human beings, but another kind of life form, one that they call immortals, and we should call gods!"
"Such a powerful life form... it's truly fascinating!"
A murmur of discussion emanated from the conference room.
While everyone was deeply shocked by the power of the immortals residing in the world, they also felt a sense of joy and excitement that made their whole bodies feel warm.
Because...
This is very likely a power they will be able to master in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our team has roughly calculated the social environment of the Longevity Realm based on the social structure of the Longevity Realm's Shepherd Dragon Kingdom... Considering various factors such as the Longevity Realm's production capacity, medical conditions, food restrictions, etc., the population of the Longevity Realm is estimated to be between 18 and 19 billion."
Jiali continued her introduction.
Between 18 billion and 19 billion.
The number is 70-80% greater than that of Blue Star.
"Based on the fact that the original Shepherd Dragon Kingdom, with a population of 30 million, could possess a Saint, and considering that the Beast God Alliance, a super power with a population of 600 million, possesses a True Immortal residing in the world, it can be deduced that the Beast God Alliance is roughly equivalent to the scale of several of the most powerful forces on our Blue Star. This is both good news and bad news. The good news is that we have already reached the ceiling of the social system of the Immortal Realm. The bad news is that there are probably several, or even a dozen, more terrifying life forms similar to True Immortals residing in the world."
"This data is consistent with the conclusions reached by our Apocalypse Project team."
Laucorlen made a cameo appearance to make its presence known.
"This life form is probably even more terrifying than the weapon that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform not long ago. To this day, the Aurora drones and hypersonic missiles that can counter that weapon have not yet been fully modified. To fight against a civilization with such a terrifying life form..."
A great man had a worried look on his face.
"Therefore, we must be prepared, even ready to mobilize for war at any time, to deal with the threat of new enemies, and that is the purpose of this meeting."
Edward took over the conversation. "The Dawn Goddess drone could originally reach six times the speed of sound. After obtaining the new materials from the Realm of Immortality, its maximum speed has reached ten times the speed of sound. However, this will lead to a decrease in agility. Moreover, ten times the speed of sound is barely enough to deal with that weapon of war, but it is still not enough to deal with the True Immortals of the World."
He projected a new type of drone directly onto the projector. "The brand-new Aurora drone can reach up to sixteen times the speed of sound, and it will be equipped with a more advanced operating system, making it as agile as a bird, evading conventional interception, and then launching a saturation suicide attack!"
Sixteen times the speed of sound?
Does it really need to be this flexible?
This...
This is something that the Starshine Federation's current technology can do.
Edward, seeing everyone's confusion, immediately said, "Therefore, we need to obtain support from our allies with their cutting-edge technologies! For example, the drone technology of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and the shockwave engine technology of the Sunset Kingdom..."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, the sensing equipment from the Tianhuang Kingdom is also somewhat useful. The Tianqi Project team has developed a device to track the energy called 'True Qi' within cultivators' bodies, called Project Tianjing. We need to use some of their technology, but we can just send someone over to get that country's technology..."
"Stun engines? These technologies can indeed significantly increase the speed of our drones and missiles..."
"A tycoon from an arms company pondered," he said.
"It's not a significant increase. We've designed a new type of missile called 'Falling Star.' If it can utilize new materials and a new type of shockwave engine technology, its speed will be comparable to that of a space-based missile, reaching up to 25 times the speed of sound!"
Edward concluded, "We need to unite all the nations that need to unite and improve the research on these two technologies to ensure that we can gain a significant advantage when facing the war machine that recently destroyed the Star Spirit Platform and when facing the True Immortals residing in the world."
"To unite the Flame Dragon Kingdom and the Sunset Empire, huh...?"
Robert, Jonas, and others nodded in agreement with the proposal.
"Our nations, united, can, to some extent, represent the entire Blue Star. If that's not enough, we can recruit more people to cheer us on. Therefore, I propose that our Starry Federation, in the lead, invite the Flame Dragon Kingdom, the Sunset Empire, and other nations with expertise in various technologies to join us in forming the Blue Star Federation! This is to address the increasingly severe situation in the world of immortals in the future!"
Edward stated the ultimate purpose of the meeting in a clear voice.
His words prompted the important figures present to quickly discuss the matter with their staff.
Several minutes passed before Jonas, Robert, and the others, feeling that the time was about right, spoke first, "I agree."
"The power of the Immortal Realm is beyond our expectations. We do need new allies, and I agree with the idea of forming the Blue Star Federation."
"We have invested a great deal of manpower and resources in managing the Longevity Realm base, Mulong Kingdom, but now it has been bloodily destroyed by the barbaric forces of the Longevity Realm. Their behavior is inhumane and is the most serious provocation against our Star Radiance Federation and our Blue Star human race. We must unite and make them pay for what they have done! I also agree with President Edward's suggestion!"
"Where the flag flies, that is the territory of the Starshine Federation! Destroying the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom is a declaration of war against the Starshine Federation! Although they may seem stronger than us now, the glory of the Starshine Federation cannot be desecrated by any scoundrel! I agree to unite all forces that can be united to complete the development of the Dawn Goddess drone and the 'Falling Star' nuclear missile. They want war, so we'll give them war!"
Other important figures in the room also spoke up, each one speaking with righteous indignation.
The Realm of Immortality!
Immortality!
The temptation is too great!
Although the power displayed by the True Immortals in the World made them feel a great threat, the Star Glory Federation has found a solution.
Aurora Drone!
Falling Star nuclear missile!
Project Sky Mirror!
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
They have now completely unveiled the mystery surrounding the world of immortality.
A mortal immortal?
With the strength of the Starshine Federation, and by bringing together those dozen or so alliances, the entire nation can quickly replenish these weapons of war.
What will happen then, even if they are immortals residing in this world?!
The Realm of Immortality will truly become their Federation's backyard.
Some older people are already eagerly awaiting that day.
