Judgment

The entire media on Blue Star was abuzz with discussion.

Countless people condemned the Blue Star Federation's suicidal actions, which they believed would drag the entire Blue Star civilization down with them.

"The scientists repeatedly warned us not to send signals to the outside world easily, and not to respond to any information from the outside world! Remember! Don't respond! Don't respond! Don't respond! But what did the Star Radiance Federation do? Not only did they take the initiative to contact the Immortal Realm, but they also helped them build the Star Spirit Platform that provides the coordinates of Blue Star, actively exposing their own coordinates. How arrogant and conceited they are!? How disdainful of everyone!?"

"That Mr. Lu Ya kindly helped him destroy the Star Spirit Platform to prevent those people from the Blue Star Federation from bringing a devastating disaster to the entire Blue Star. But he, on the contrary, directly regarded him as an enemy and even shamelessly sent drones and nuclear missiles to attack him. Words like 'repaying kindness with enmity' and 'heartless' are not enough to describe his behavior! He is simply a disgrace to humanity!"

"They should be expelled from humanity! We are ashamed to be associated with those from the Blue Star Federation! How dare they call themselves 'Blue Star'? Bah! The moral standards of our Blue Star civilization have been dragged down by these people for a hundred years!"

"Brothers, we absolutely cannot let these people lead our Blue Star civilization into the abyss of destruction! We must save ourselves! We must bring them down!"

"Step down! Step down! Step down! Not only step down! But also stand trial! Pay the price for the war crimes they committed! Give an explanation to the Lingxiao Palace, which has always been harmonious and friendly to our Blue Star civilization!"

All sorts of chaos, appeals, and marches filled every corner of the Blue Star.

Even in countries that do not adopt a high-pressure stance towards local authorities, countless people spontaneously stormed government departments to demand justice for Lingxiao Palace.

While those guards and soldiers usually have secure jobs and can violently suppress any disturbances from the public, regardless of the reason, this time is different.

They also believed that the current disaster on Blue Star was entirely caused by the self-destructive actions of the member states of the Blue Star Federation.

When faced with matters of life and death that involve their own interests, they no longer obstruct the chaotic protesters, either turning a blind eye or replacing them with temporary workers.

Soon, important locations such as the Capitol Building and the Presidential Palace were captured.

Fortunately, in order to deal with this battle for supremacy in the Blue Star Federation, most of the important figures in the member states of the Federation gathered at the newly built Federation headquarters of the Star Glory Federation, so no political figures were dragged out and beaten to death on the spot.

Even so, President Edward, Emperor Stephen, and the presidents and prime ministers of Yanlong Kingdom, Tianhuang Kingdom, and Maple Leaf Kingdom, who were at the Federal Headquarters, were still filled with anxiety.

"It's over! It's over! Everything's over!"

"They said the ultimate life form was only equivalent to the level of the Shadow Chaser mech, which we could easily handle with our thirty-six Aurora Goddess drones and dozens of Falling Star missiles!? Why! Why did this monster come!?"

"What do we do! Don't we have any contingency plans?!"

"A contingency plan?! The gravitational magnetic field surrounding its body is almost equivalent to that of an asteroid! No! It's more like a small star! What kind of contingency plan could possibly deal with such a stellar monster?!"

"Edward, it's all your fault! If you hadn't had the wrong intelligence and attacked the Shadow Mech that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform, we wouldn't have been attacked by the stellar-level monster from Lingxiao Palace! You must commit suicide to give everyone an explanation!"

The scene was chaotic.

World leaders were either terrified, devastated, deep in thought, or blaming each other.

Everyone was gripped by unspeakable terror.

Edward listened to the accusations from the crowd, his face turned pale and his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He really wanted to rebuke him...

"Do you really think this stellar-level monster from Lingxiao Palace came because we attacked that Cheng Ying mech? They planned to attack our Blue Star long ago! Attacking the Cheng Ying mech was just a psychological pretext..."

They then spread these opinions as conspiracy theories about the enemy, infiltrating the Central Kingdom, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Yellow Dragon Kingdom with external forces, attempting to undermine the internal unity and stability of the Blue Star civilization.

However, thinking of that terrifying figure of the Chaos Demon God, towering like a mountain...

These words seem to have lost all meaning.

Might makes right.

Often, people hold a firm belief in the truth not because it is true.

Rather, it was because the being who uttered these words was so powerful that they were powerless to resist, and thus, the fearful people could only regard it as truth.

Just like now, it doesn't matter whether the information released by the Central Kingdom, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Yellow Dragon Kingdom in the media is true or whether the reasons are full of loopholes.

Importantly, the powerful figure that blotted out the sky over the West Coast conveyed this meaning, and these reasons were genuine in the face of the fear he instilled.

Back then, the Starshine Federation, acting as the world's police, openly and legitimately robbed other countries, yet they still issued a public statement claiming it was to combat terrorism, uphold justice, and act legally and justly. Didn't people still have to believe it?

Because they have no other choice but to believe.

Drawing the sword is the truth.

But now...

The swordsman was no longer from their Star Glory Federation, nor from the Blue Star Alliance, but from the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace from the Realm of Immortality...

Thinking of this, Edward closed his eyes in anguish, his face ashen.

On the west coast, that underground fortress covering millions of square meters has appeared before Gu Jinlai.

This fortress was built with special materials and is said to be able to withstand even a nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons.

But now, in the face of Gu Jinlai, it was easily stripped away inch by inch, exposing the main structure of the Federal Command and the officials from various countries who, compared to Gu Jinlai and space, were as insignificant as ants.

Before any exchange had taken place, the mere presence of their gazes, with their suffocating pressure, caused the high-ranking figures, including some elderly generals from various countries, to feel their adrenaline surge and their blood pressure spike, instantly exceeding their limits and causing numerous organs to bleed.

He died on the spot.

At the same time, an intense heat, so strong it felt as if they were surrounded by raging flames, rushed towards them.

In the frontmost area, some flammable materials, such as paper, were directly charred and burned, turning into raging flames.

Under this dual torment of mental anguish and intense heat, even seasoned soldiers like Mike and Maher, who had experienced countless battles and the brutality of the battlefield, couldn't help but let out painful screams.

Human vulnerability was on full display at this moment.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a streak of light suddenly appeared at the edge of the sky and arrived in front of the Lingxiao Palace Master, who resembled an ancient divine mountain, at an extremely fast speed.

Through some equipment and instruments, everyone quickly recognized it as the Shadow Mech that had been attacked at the Blue Star Federation press conference earlier...

That is, Mr. Lu Ya, the friend from the Realm of Immortality who came with peace and friendship, but suffered a great injustice from the Blue Star Federation on Blue Star's side.

The Cheng Ying mech is not small in size.

It is more than ten meters high.

It's equivalent to a multi-story building.

However, compared to the true form manifested by the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, he was almost no different from an ordinary human being, still insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Upon his arrival, he directly blocked the path between the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace and the fortress suspended in the sky, seemingly exchanging some words.

Throughout the process, everyone was filled with trepidation, their eyes glued to the big screen.

Because they knew that the future of Blue Star almost entirely depended on that Mr. Lu Ya.

If Mr. Lu Ya harbors resentment towards Blue Star, he only needs to say one word...

Human civilization on Blue Star will be utterly destroyed.

Fortunately...

Things are clearly moving in a positive direction.

Just a few seconds.

The towering figure of the Lingxiao Palace Master, whose entire form could only be seen with the aid of instruments, seemed to show a look of surprise.

He glanced around with some surprise. "You're going to let them go?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt their heartbeats slow down.

Especially when the Cheng Ying mecha seemed to make a "nodding" motion, everyone felt an unprecedented surprise that instantly burst forth from their hearts and permeated every corner of their bodies.

That feeling is a million times more refreshing than taking a sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day.

An unprecedented feeling of emotion filled their hearts, making them feel as if they were immersed in honey.

"I knew it, I knew it... Mr. Lu Ya... he didn't intend to destroy Blue Star. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of destroying the Star Spirit Platform beforehand to prevent us Blue Star people from recklessly sending the news to the Immortal Realm."

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Lu Ya! Lu Ya! This is actually the name of a legendary figure from our ancient Xia civilization. It's clear that Mr. Lu Ya still loves us and our ancient Xia civilization! So naturally, he wouldn't want to see the Blue Star that carries our ancient Xia civilization destroyed!"

"I'm so touched... This is the most heartwarming moment I've ever witnessed in my life! The petite Mr. Lu Ya stood up for us in front of the enormous Supreme Emperor Taiyi... Oh my god, I will never forget this scene!"

The definition of happiness is always relative.

This is a skill that many people and media outlets have mastered and become accustomed to.

Compared to the potential destruction a second ago, this moment...

Everyone experiences the great ups and downs of life, from birth to death and from death to birth.

The happiness and emotional index of all people on Blue Star soared to the heavens in an instant.

Under Mr. Lu Ya's reasoned argument, the Supreme Emperor Taiyi, who exuded destructive power, seemed to be deep in thought.

It lasted for more than ten seconds...

But those ten or so seconds felt like ten days to many important figures.

Finally, amidst their anxious anticipation of judgment, the Supreme Emperor Taiyi made the decision to back down.

"I can avoid harming others, but those who have hurt you must be eliminated without exception."

His voice echoed in the void.

The next moment, he made a gesture, and a fiery halo condensed in front of him, its blazing white light, like a nuclear explosion, instantly illuminating the entire west coast like a scorching sun.

Even the sun in the sky could not rival the brilliance of this fiery halo at this moment.

The fiery halo formed in less than a second, and then a giant laser beam hundreds of meters long, with a dazzling light that illuminated the heavens and the earth, pierced through the void and wiped out the headquarters of the Blue Star Federation thousands of miles away before anyone could react.

The power was precisely controlled, and apart from destroying the meeting room where the leaders of the Blue Star Federation headquarters were located, not a single bit spilled out.

After performing this act, his body, which resembled a chaotic demon god, gradually receded...

They have returned to their ordinary, unremarkable human state.
