Star Gate, Opened

Stargate activation often takes some time.

Just like the Demon Realm Rift back then, it took more than ten days for people to pass through from its formation to its complete capacity.

Similarly, when the stargate enters the activation state, the buildings on the other side used for mapping and traction will generally react.

If there were an array to conceal them, these fluctuations and lights could be hidden, but in a world like Earth in the Blue Star- ending Age...

Everyone could clearly see that, centered on the Star Spirit Platform on the West Coast, an invisible ripple was spreading outwards in all directions.

The Star Spirit Platform, which is tens of meters high, seems to have been distorted by some mysterious force, as if one were observing the scene through the surface of water, or through the ripples created by a stone thrown into the water.

This anomaly immediately drew the attention of the Blue Star Federation members, who had been preparing for action.

"It's finally here."

In the Blue Star Federation, Edward, the newly appointed president of the federation, let out a long sigh of relief.

"This day came later than we expected."

He said something.

He was both looking forward to and worried about this day.

The worry, of course, is that all the resident immortals of the Lingxiao Palace in the Longevity Realm might come out in full force and send out a power beyond their ability to withstand to defeat them.

Once the main battlefield is defeated, allowing the immortals residing in Lingxiao Palace to infiltrate Blue Star and wreak havoc, no matter how eloquently they proclaim that once industrial society fully unleashes its productivity, it will inevitably be able to continuously produce large numbers of war machines to wear down the enemy, they themselves actually know...

The more advanced the technology and weaponry, the more demanding the industrial requirements.

Those immortal beings residing in the world only need to destroy their few laboratories that produce the Dawn Goddess drones and Falling Star missiles, and they will no longer have any power to fight against the people of Lingxiao Palace.

Of course, the possibility of Lingxiao Palace sending out its entire force is not high.

They also have their enemies.

While leaving some forces to defend against their enemies, Lingxiao Palace could theoretically only send half of its forces into Blue Star at most.

If there are many, there are four to five true immortals.

If there are few... two or three.

Even with exceptionally good luck, if Lingxiao Palace doesn't take them seriously, they might only send one True Immortal.

After all, the destruction of the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom back then was basically due to the appearance of that immortal being who resided in the world.

If only one mortal immortal who has remained in this world comes...

That would be perfect.

The Blue Star Federation could achieve legendary status through this great war.

After defeating the Lingxiao Palace experts who had invaded Blue Star, they entered through the Star Gate and deployed a large number of hydrogen bombs in that area, turning it into a death zone.

This would both severely damage Lingxiao Palace and buy more time.

Thirdly...

Once they demonstrate sufficient strength, they can naturally cooperate with the enemies of Lingxiao Palace. If all goes well, they might even be able to directly contact their enemies to destroy Lingxiao Palace.

As for whether this will lead to the Lingxiao Palace and their rival Immortal Kingdom uniting against a common enemy...

This is related to the envoy's negotiation skills.

And this is exactly the situation Edward was hoping for.

With many thoughts in mind, the first president of the Blue Star Federation solemnly ordered, "Alright, notify Commander-in-Chief Mike of the Federation Command to prepare the troops that are already on standby. The real test of their will is about to begin. The enemy... is coming."

"Yes."

The secretary nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that this message be announced to the world."

An aide stepped forward and said.

"Announcement to the world..."

Edward nodded slightly. "It's time to announce it to the world, so that everyone can see the contributions of our Blue Star Federation, the brave and fearless fighting spirit of our soldiers, and... the advanced technological weaponry of our Blue Star Federation."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Arrange a press conference immediately."

"Clear."

Another assistant agreed and quickly went off to get busy.

In less than half a day, almost all mainstream media outlets around the world received messages from the Blue Star Federation regarding an online press conference.

Meanwhile, the Central Kingdom, the Great Jin Kingdom, and the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, having received the news earlier...

Also in a conference room, his expression was filled with worry and unease.

"The Realm of Immortality, the Palace of the Azure Sky..."

Dong Xuanyuan looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the ceiling and landing on the world projection that had shrouded the Blue Star for over twenty years. "The two realms are officially in contact... Is this day finally coming?"

Zhao Tianfeng then turned his gaze to Xie Yusheng, who was sitting at the back but also qualified to attend the meeting. "Has Mr. Lu Ya not given a response yet?"

"He only said one sentence: Lingxiao Palace has no ill intentions toward our Blue Star, just as we would not rob a beggar of a bag of rice or flour, and then he didn't say anything more."

Xie Yusheng said.

"No ill intent..."

Zhao Tianfeng looked worriedly at the fleets surrounding the edge of the Star Spirit Platform on the big screen. "I'm afraid they don't mean any harm, but the Blue Star Federation made a wrong judgment, forcing them to show their malice even if they don't."

"It's no use saying all this now. We can't stop the Blue Star Federation, just like when they ordered us to send our fleet to join the Federation forces defending Blue Star, we couldn't refuse. Otherwise, with public opinion already completely ignited, we will become the sinners of the entire Blue Star."

Han Guanglie sighed.

"What I'm worried about isn't these things, but whether the Starshine Federation's assessment of the power of the Immortal Realm is truly accurate."

Zhao Tianfeng said, "If our guess is true, that Mr. Lu Ya is indeed a member of the Immortal Realm, and perhaps even has some connection with the Lingxiao Palace. Given his understanding of our Blue Star, do you think he wouldn't be unaware of our Blue Star's true military strength? And knowing our Blue Star's true military strength, how could he still say something like, 'They wouldn't break into a beggar's house to steal a bag of rice and flour'... Do you think that the Cheng Ying Mech and the World-Existing True Immortals are truly the upper limit of their power?"

These words caused the expressions of the people in the room to change slightly.

But...

They had obviously thought of this before.

"We all know this, but we can't stop it, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Han Guanglie glanced at Xie Yusheng: "We can only hope that what Mr. Lu Ya, who claims to be from Qianxing, said is true, and that he really has no ill intentions towards our Blue Star..."

Even if what the Qianxing people say is false, it doesn't matter.

It depends on which part.

For example...

They went to a beggar's house and stole a bag of rice and flour.

If their words are a bluff, it proves that the Starry Federation's intelligence is correct, and that the Qianxing people are using this message for psychological warfare. In that case, the Blue Star Federation still has some hope.

However, they also knew that the possibility was very low.

"If Mr. Lu Ya really harbored hostility towards us, there would be no need for him to expose the Cheng Ying mech."

Xie Yusheng recalled the connection between Lu Ya, the Qianxing human, and Senior Taiyi, and finally said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I believe him."

Zhao Tianfeng nodded.

Dong Xuanyuan glanced at the group and said, "At least, we're not powerless... Have you prepared the classic texts and Cultivation Method from various countries?"

"Everything that could be collected has been collected."

Zhao Tianfeng gave a wry smile, "Perhaps these ancient texts will become the key to saving Blue Star in the future."

The others remained silent, watching with concern as Edward once again passionately issued the war mobilization order at the press conference.

When Edward announced the impending arrival of invaders from the Lingxiao Palace of the Immortal Realm and played footage of the Star Spirit Platform passively activating the distorted space, the world was in uproar.

Almost simultaneously, countless people put down what they were doing or working and came to the television or their mobile phones to watch the live broadcast on an authoritative channel.

This great battle is a matter of life and death for the future of Blue Star.

If we are defeated, human civilization may be wiped out. What's the point of working in that situation?!

Just watch TV or watch live streams.

At this moment, the Blue Star Federation's live streaming channel reached an astonishing two billion concurrent viewers.

This means that almost everyone in the world with electronic devices is watching the real-time situation of this war, which represents the future of Blue Star.

The reason it's not the global population of 10 billion...

Firstly, many places lack electricity; secondly, children lack autonomy; and thirdly, several people share a single device.

To avoid causing widespread panic, the Blue Star Federation's live broadcast channel briefly introduced the Star Spirit Platform equipment and then showed a large amount of footage of the troops guarding the area around the Star Spirit Platform.

The number of fighter jets that blot out the sky exceeded three thousand, with more than three thousand of them flying in the air alone.

There are tens of thousands of advanced fighter jets parked at the airport.

As for tanks, armored vehicles, and missile launchers, they are densely packed in every corner of the land, and even through a helicopter broadcast from above, one still cannot see the end of them.

The total number is estimated to be more than 100,000.

As for the number of troops involved in the war...

They deployed over four million elite soldiers across a radius of over a thousand miles centered on the Star Spirit Platform.

Meanwhile, overseas, aircraft carrier fleets, some near and some far, are constantly circling around it.

There are also a large number of advanced warships patrolling back and forth.

With all missile silos opened, a single command would send hundreds, even thousands, of missiles and nuclear missiles soaring into the sky, turning the stargate on the west coast into a fiery inferno.

The number of Aurora drones reached an astonishing thirty-six during this period of intensive production.

More than one hundred Starfall missiles were also deployed.

As they soar through the sky, they display their graceful forms and futuristic charm.

This astonishing military power, this steel torrent representing violence and destruction, instantly ignited the passion of countless people.

At this moment, countless people are shouting in front of their televisions.

"See that, aliens? This is our Blue Star's army! This is the culmination of our human civilization's wisdom!"

"Long live! Long live Blue Star! Long live humanity!"

Long live free will! The glory of our Blue Star civilization will live on forever!

"War! War! War!"

"Maifac oil!"

All sorts of shouts filled the streets of every major city in the Blue Star Federation.

Some people even ran naked, draped in the national flag, and shouted wildly in the streets, venting their pride and joy.

After witnessing firsthand the military power of Blue Star, and with countless experts explaining the advanced nature of its fighter jets and the power of its missiles on television, everyone's racial confidence was ignited to the extreme.

In this almost frenzied atmosphere, the distorted space on the Star Spirit Platform finally reached its limit.

With a burst of intense light emanating from the center of the distorted space of the Star Spirit Platform, a majestic star gate, over a hundred meters high, suddenly appeared on the west coast.

The stargate has opened.
