Speech

The Blue Star Federation is theoretically correct in defining the "fallen stars" as alien invaders.

After all, the fallen star was piloted by a Qianxing person, and although they guessed that the Qianxing person might come from a certain weapon-refining school in the Longevity Realm, they were definitely not native to Blue Star. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them an alien.

The key issue is that the Qianxing people have not yet expressed any hostility towards Blue Star, while the True Immortal Research Institute, jointly established by the three kingdoms of Da Jin, Huanglong, and Zhongtu, is extremely close to this Qianxing person. The Blue Star Federation has defined him as an alien invader, and the three kingdoms' positions will become extremely difficult going forward.

If we respond to the Blue Star Federation's call to fight against the alien invaders, we will inevitably offend this Qianxing person. If things go wrong, we might end up like the Suimu True Immortal back then, with our contact being severed.

However, if they choose to ignore the many actions of the Blue Star Federation, in the face of irrefutable evidence, it would be tantamount to admitting that they are colluding with aliens.

"We must retaliate, using the argument that not every alien is evil..."

Zhao Tianfeng immediately replied.

However, even after saying these words, I felt awkward.

In the past, weren't those who used these excuses to deal with other countries often the Starshine Federation?

How did it become "them" now?

However, in order to prove their position, they had to say these things.

When it comes to erecting a memorial archway, naturally, whatever sounds good should be chosen.

"I will immediately inform my subordinates to make preparations."

Han Guanglie followed up.

"It might be too late."

Looking at the footage broadcast on the big screen, Dong Xuanyuan said with a solemn expression, "The Starshine Federation's methods are probably not that simple."

The press conference hall erupted in uproar.

All the reporters were horrified by the images displayed by the Blue Star Federation.

Army versus alien mechs!?

This scene, which only exists in science fiction movies, has actually happened!?

"I believe many people are wondering where these aliens come from. I can tell you the answer now."

As Edward spoke, conference staff promptly opened the ceiling above the convention center.

Suddenly, the azure sky was revealed to everyone.

And in this sky, the most eye-catching thing is the projection of the immortal world that the Blue Star people have become accustomed to and adapted to over the past twenty years.

Some quick-witted people had already guessed what was going on and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Could it be..."

Almost simultaneously, Edward's high-pitched and impassioned voice rang out again. "The enemy comes from the world above us, a world that has long harbored ill intentions towards us and wants to invade our Blue Star! A world known as the Realm of Immortality!"

He said loudly, "Over the years, the Immortal Realm has been trying to disguise and infiltrate our world, using all sorts of methods to steal information between the major powers of our Blue Star. In order to better integrate themselves into the Blue Star, they even created something that looks like a product of our Blue Star's technology—a war weapon called the Shadow Mech! The two times we used nuclear weapons were to fight against this alien machine!"

These words once again caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

For the first time, they realized that the alien invaders from the Immortal Realm were actually very close to them.

And all these years, the Starry Federation has actually been quietly protecting Blue Star!?

For this reason, they even resorted to using high-yield hydrogen bombs twice!?

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Qilin, who was in the meeting room, couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Immediately afterward, he raised his hand and said, "Mr. President, you're saying that the Cheng Ying Mech is a weapon of war manufactured by the Eternal Life Realm?! If that's true, why would it destroy the Star Spirit Platform connecting your Star Radiance Federation to the Eternal Life Realm, thus blocking the two realms? It's obvious that it doesn't want the two realms to connect!"

"It's not time for questions yet!"

A staff member reminded them.

However, Edward waved his hand and said, "This is a talented young man from the Rongguo family of the Middle-earth Kingdom. To some extent, he represents the will of the Middle-earth Kingdom. Since you have asked, I can give you an answer."

He seemed to have a contingency plan in mind, and calmly responded, "Because they weren't prepared at the time!"

Zhao Qilin was slightly taken aback.

"Moreover, our Starshine Federation has always been at the forefront of the fight against the invaders from the Realm of Immortality. To this end, we have even established a base in the Realm of Immortality to block their invasion!"

As Edward spoke, he immediately shifted his attention and started playing various video clips on the big screen.

These are all images that were transmitted from the Kingdom of Mulong back then.

In the scene, they transformed from invaders into victims, struggling to survive in the world of immortals and resisting attacks from one powerful life form after another.

On one side are cultivators at the Spirit Refining, Spirit Transformation, and Primordial Spirit, who are like little superhumans; on the other side are Void Returning experts who can fly into the sky; and on the other side are Saints who are ten meters tall and reveal their true forms.

There are also many terrifying and ferocious Demonic Beasts that fill the area.

On the other side, countless soldiers dressed in Starshine Federation uniforms, armed with outdated weapons, formed a network of fire, firing and shelling, struggling to resist the attacks of Demonic Beasts and immortal cultivators.

Immortal cultivators and Demonic Beasts were constantly being shot and killed, and human defenses were constantly being torn apart.

Once the defenses are breached, the superhuman-like experts of the Immortal Realm can immediately unleash a brutal massacre among the crowd.

The fragile human soldiers were almost certain to die or be injured at the slightest touch in front of these little superhumans and Demonic Beasts.

The scene was so bloody and brutal that everyone present turned pale.

Some people even vomited on the spot, causing a small commotion.

However, the event organizers seemed to have anticipated this situation and made relevant preparations, so it did not cause too much chaos.

On the big screen, the focus was on the effects of those saints and Demonic Beasts, and the sky environment was also filmed separately.

Their sky also has a layer of Blue Star projection, but it is much Blue Star in area and cannot compare to the depth of Blue Star.

With such solid evidence, no one doubted that these influences originated from the realm of immortality.

Even Zhao Tianfeng, Han Guanglie, Dong Xuanyuan, and others who were watching this scene through the video felt a sense of frustration. "The Star Glory Federation's research on the Immortal Realm has actually reached this level!? They even have a base there!? And they've even developed a certain level of civilization there!?"

"We've been acting too conservatively..."

"Both Immortal Suimu and that Mr. Lu Ya who called himself 'Qian Xingren' actually made requests, hoping to obtain some cultivation manuals from us. However, after considering all the pros and cons, the first thing we did was to nationalize all the manuals that were scattered abroad and seal them off. In subsequent exchanges, we only released a small amount at a time, and the manuals released were basically biographies and stories. The cultivation methods they actually needed were very few... Isn't this obviously just making excuses for them? No wonder Immortal Suimu later simply cut off contact with us."

As they talked, they exchanged glances, their faces showing some regret.

At this moment, Edward on the big screen was still delivering a passionate speech.

"Over the years, in order to resist the attacks of the invaders from the Immortal Realm, countless soldiers of our Starshine Federation have shed their blood and sacrificed their lives in another world. Even their bodies could not be brought back and had to be buried in foreign lands."

At this point, the president looked sorrowful and even fell silent involuntarily.

The others in the room seemed to be infected by his silence and also fell silent.

"However, their sacrifice was worthwhile!"

After a moment, Edward spoke again in a powerful voice, "The long battle, coupled with the discovery of some new elements in the Realm of Immortality, has led to the cooperation between our Starshine Federation and other countries, resulting in a huge improvement in technology. In particular, more than a year ago, the Dawn Goddess drone with a maximum speed of Mach 16 and the Falling Star missile with speeds of Mach 25 and even Mach 30 appeared, which made the enemies of the Realm of Immortality feel fear!"

A Mach 16 Aurora drone!?

A falling star missile with a maximum speed of Mach 30!?

The revelation of these two weapons of war caused an uproar among the audience.

While drones from most countries, which prioritize speed, can't even break Mach 10, the Starshine Federation's drones have actually reached Mach 16!?

And missiles!

Mach 10 is the limit for hypersonic missiles in other countries, but the Falling Star missile, jointly produced by the Starshine Federation and other countries, has clearly reached Mach 30!

When this news broke, everyone was thrilled.

The members of the Blue Star Federation, in particular, felt a sense of pride in being a part of it.

The Federation's military strength is incredibly powerful!?

"The advanced weaponry we developed aroused the fear of those infiltrators in the Immortal Realm. Caught off guard, they launched a despicable sneak attack on the Star Spirit Platform! Because these weapons were still in the laboratory at that time, we didn't have time to deploy them to the battlefield. A large number of brave soldiers died in that battle, and the Star Spirit Platform, into which countless funds had been invested, was destroyed. In the end, we had no choice but to launch a nuclear missile in an attempt to intercept it..."

Edward's expression darkened as he said this, "But, it failed."

A somber atmosphere enveloped the entire venue once again.

But Edward immediately raised his voice even louder and more impassioned. "Although they destroyed the Star Spirit Platform and the adjacent laboratory, our experimental data was preserved. Their provocation has enraged all the conscientious, rational, and ambitious people of Blue Star. The countries that were still considering joining the cause, such as Flame Dragon and Sunset, have resolutely joined the Blue Star Federation family that we have formed. With the combined strength of all countries, we have produced a large number of Aurora Goddess drones and Falling Star missiles in just fourteen months, and have boldly declared war on those aliens who have infiltrated and lurked on our Blue Star!"

As they were speaking, music suddenly started playing on the big screen, and the scene of twelve Dawn Goddess drones attacking the Cheng Ying mech appeared instantly.

Advanced, elegant, and futuristic drones, accompanied by exhilarating music, fearlessly launched an attack on the Cheng Ying mech.

Until the very last moment, three Aurora drones stormed into the vicinity of the Shadow Mech and exploded with a deafening roar, filling the entire field of vision with brilliant light.

"Finally! We won!"

Edward said emphatically, "We have shattered the most powerful weapon these invaders had hidden in our Immortal Realm! At this moment, we can cheer to our hearts' content. We were not powerless against those alien invaders!"

"Splash!"

Everyone in the audience stood up at the same time, applauding thunderously, deeply moved.

All the glory at this moment belongs to Edward on the podium.

And the huge emblem of the Blue Star Federation behind them.

I also think this chapter is a bit weak, but it's too short, the content isn't fully developed, and there's not enough build-up. There's nothing I can do about it.
