"Senior Taiyi..."

Xie Yusheng spoke cautiously, controlling the Cheng Ying mecha with his True Spirit.

"I'm leaving the rest to you."

Gu Jinlai said, "My requirements are very simple. First, I am genuinely interested in the mythological texts on Blue Star, and you need to do your best to collect these books. Second, Blue Star should stop releasing information to the outside world in the future. You have already seen what the consequences might be."

"I understand, and I will certainly convey your request. I believe other countries will not refuse."

Xie Yusheng nodded vigorously.

"Then, let's leave it at that."

Gu Jinlai.

Xie Yusheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but he clearly understood that he shouldn't.

However, those with extremely keen spiritual perception Gu Jinlai knew what he wanted to ask after a little thought, and immediately smiled and said, "You want to know if Spiritual Qi has really revived? And why I descended upon you? And why you seem to have some concerns about me and your own position?"

Xie Yusheng nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Meeting is fate. Fate is something that cannot be explained or defined. As for your desired position... Lu Ya is Taiyi's junior. If you don't mind, you can refer to yourself as my disciple."

"Disciple?"

Xie Yusheng reacted extremely quickly, and without hesitation, he knelt down in his Cheng Ying mecha. "Disciple greets Master."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "You have cultivated the Chaos Demon God's Eternal Path, which means you have already accepted my mantle. In addition, the special environment of Blue Star is not suitable for other cultivation systems. You should continue to cultivate along this path. When you reach the third step of the Heavenly Monarch and can glimpse the true spirit world, I will guide your future cultivation."

He estimated Xie Yusheng's cultivation progress.

Even though the Void Projection Technique has an "assimilation" effect and his cultivation progress is abnormally fast, it is still not something that can be achieved in three to five years to reach the third step of the Heavenly Monarch.

By then, he would probably have returned from the Xuanhuang Alliance, and perhaps then he would have a way to find his way out of the path after becoming a Heavenly Monarch.

"Yes, Master."

Xie Yusheng respectfully agreed.

"As for what I said earlier about the revival of Spiritual Qi, and why it came to you and to Blue Star... it was just a joke."

Gu Jinlai that "the world of immortality and the Blue Star are not far apart. Perhaps one day in the future, the two worlds will completely overlap, and the Spiritual Qi will truly be revived."

Hearing the jokes from Gu Jinlai, Xie Yusheng felt that Senior Taiyi was more down-to-earth.

Being able to joke proves that they are not the kind of deities who are completely detached from worldly affairs.

"Similarly, since the two worlds are not far apart, over the past few decades, quite a few people from Blue Star have actually entered the Realm of Immortality. Some of them even joined the Lingxiao Palace and held important positions. Out of curiosity, I came to this world and descended into your body."

This Gu Jinlai.

He had no intention of revealing that he was also from Blue Star.

He knew very well the nature of the Blue Star.

Once he exposes this aspect of his identity and loses his "mysterious" disguise, he will definitely face all sorts of tests from the Blue Star.

These tests could be easily overcome at his level, but repeated attempts eventually became unpleasant.

But he could never truly destroy Blue Star.

Therefore, a layer of mysterious disguise is essential.

As for the Blue Star in Lingxiao Palace...

Only a few dozen people in the core group truly know his identity; they will give him instructions when the time comes.

Given the power of Lingxiao Palace, any of those Blue Star people who are in good health would not disobey his orders.

"Master, are you saying... there are also Blue Star serving in the Lingxiao Palace?"

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "I will send people to assist you in this collection of ancient texts and the establishment of the Star Spirit Platform."

He glanced at Xie Yusheng's rudimentary Cheng Ying mecha, which could only unleash the power of a Saint: "We can learn from others' experiences. Blue Star's technology has improved rapidly recently, and your mecha is already somewhat outdated. In order to ensure that we have enough military deterrence, it is still necessary to have a small team stationed near the Star Spirit Platform to cooperate with you."

"Yes."

Xie Yusheng immediately agreed.

"Alright, now the whole Blue Star is waiting for you to play the bad cop. It's time to use Xie Yusheng's identity to pass on the message to the rest of Blue Star."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

Xie Yusheng quickly responded with a bow, "Respectfully seeing off Master."

Gu Jinlai nodded and turned to leave.

To maintain his mystique, he didn't plan to stay on Blue Star for long.

At least...

This body cannot stay on Blue Star any longer.

Because of his arrival, many places are now in chaos, and order has collapsed.

Although he no longer cares much about the Karma he carries, with his reserve of over four thousand rays of clear light, as long as he doesn't truly destroy Blue Star, he can wash away the Karma no matter how many innocent people he harms.

But...

When it comes to things like clear light, every little bit saved counts.

Just like when he destroyed the headquarters of the Blue Star Federation.

The higher the level, the greater the Karma generated from evil deeds.

As for the middle and lower floors...

Overall, the order on Blue Star is quite stable. There may be some killings, but they are on a very small scale.

To give birth to Qingguang, one must personally kill at least a hundred people.

Even if some of his actions were good deeds, directly resulting in the deaths of thousands of people, it might not necessarily make him reach the point of Karma as heavy as blood.

How many of the lower and middle-level Blue Star meet this standard?

He destroyed the Blue Star Federation headquarters and some key personnel in the command, and he has already taken the lion's share of the total amount of Blue Star's destruction.

Although the remaining population is in the billions, the total amount of light they can obtain is estimated to be less than that of a single Star Province during the Qian Tian era.

Therefore, there is no need for another major purge.

If a thorough purge is truly necessary, it can be carried out secretly by his remaining avatars.

As the true form of Gu Jinlai returned to the Star Gate and disappeared into the ripples of the Star Gate, everyone who witnessed this scene through various instruments let out uncontrollable cheers.

The soldiers, especially those near the star gate, were cheering so loudly their shouts almost pierced the sky.

Many people were even moved to tears.

They survived.

They survived.

God knows the immense pressure these people endured when facing that terrifying demon god!

Although they knew that if that demon god really made a move, it would most likely destroy Blue Star, and at that time, the only difference between them and the other Blue Star people would be whether they died first or later.

Knowing is one thing, facing death is another.

The torment of having no control over one's own life and death caused many soldiers, even those with professional training, to suffer mental breakdowns.

Hundreds of people committed suicide by shooting themselves.

And right now...

The terrifying being withdrew its demonic form, turned around, and left Blue Star. The thrill of escaping death made all the soldiers cheer and vent their joy.

The cheers lasted for a moment, and then everyone's gaze fell on the Cheng Ying mech, which had seen the demon god off at the horizon and was now also flying away across the sky.

It's clear from the video that Lu Ya, piloting the Cheng Ying mech, was the one who persuaded the demon god to abandon his idea of destroying Blue Star.

In other words, this Cheng Ying mech was their savior.

As he swept through the void, the soldiers below couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Mr. Lu Ya! Thank you for your generosity! I apologize for my rudeness to you back then!"

"Thank you! Thank you for your kindness, which gave me the opportunity to return home and see my wife and children! Thank you!"

"Long live! Long live Mr. Lu Ya!"

The fortress has been rebuilt on the ground.

Some of the generals who survived because of their low level of Karma exchanged lingering fears as they looked at the scene before them.

"The war is over. Let the soldiers go home. What they need most now is to go back and spend time with their families."

One of the generals said, "We are the same."

The other survivors nodded in agreement.

However, they soon realized a problem.

Mike, Garrison, Maher, and the others in the first rank of command were all gone, seemingly all killed by the high temperature, ruptured blood vessels, and internal organ bleeding, leaving the command headquarters in ruins...

There are very few influential figures who can command the respect and trust of everyone.

Soon, one of them seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Minister Li Guanghui, you shall announce that the war is over. Let the troops return to their respective posts."

The general stepped forward and said.

"I?"

Li Guanghui was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, the others also thought of something and chimed in, "Yes, yes, it would be best if Minister Li made the announcement."

"Minister Li is the Minister of War from the Central Kingdom, one of the inheritors of the ancient Xia civilization. The ancient Xia civilization is a civilization that even the Supreme Emperor Taiyi admired. It contains the brilliant wisdom of our ancestors and is a treasure of our Blue Star civilization. You have been immersed in such a cultural atmosphere since childhood, and you must be a noble and respectable person. It would be best if you were the one to announce the end of the war."

"I also think that Minister Li is the most suitable candidate. After I go back, I will study the ancient Xia language diligently and send my children to the East to learn the essence of the ancient Xia civilization."

The surviving military representatives from various countries then spoke up.

Hearing what everyone was saying, Li Guanghui understood that all of this was due to the Supreme Emperor Taiyi's interest in the ancient Xia culture.

He felt a sense of honor and pride, and thus did not refuse again.

"Very well, since you all are so kind, I will gladly accept your invitation."

As Li Guanghui spoke, he quickly connected to satellite communication using the equipment.

"Soldiers, this is not a war that should have happened. Fortunately, thanks to the benevolence of the great Supreme Emperor Taiyi and Mr. Lu Ya, things have not gone as badly as they should. Now I declare that the war is over. Go home, go back to where you started."

The message was relayed to the soldiers on the battlefield at an extremely fast pace.

In an instant, even more enthusiastic cheers erupted once again from this war zone.

The soldiers' cheers also infected the ordinary people on Blue Star.

Amidst their cheers, they also expressed their feelings of remorse.

"We all owe Mr. Lu Ya an apology! He saved us all and spared our Blue Star from war."

"Aliens are terrifying, but some humans are even more terrifying than aliens! Compared to the politicians like Edward, Mr. Lu Ya's kindness and benevolence are more worthy of our respect and love."

"I am ashamed that I was misled by the Blue Star Federation and cursed Mr. Lu Ya! From now on, I will speak rationally, love my family and children, and never be misled by anyone again to disrupt the order of the Internet!"

True Immortal Research Institute.

Han Guanglie, Dong Xuanyuan, Zhao Tianfeng, and everyone else seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle. After seeing the Supreme Taiyi Emperor completely disappear into the Star Gate, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people even kept wiping the cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Hearing the uncontrollable cheers emanating even from outside the research institute's conference room, everyone smiled with relief, knowing that the matter was not yet over.

Next comes the crucial cleanup, and...

The new world order brought about by the appearance of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi.

They have already received the news.

All leaders of the Blue Star Federation...

President Edward of the Starry Federation, Emperor Stephen of the Sunset Empire, and the prime ministers and presidents of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom, and the Maple Leaf Kingdom were all wiped out by that emperor using a laser weapon that was completely beyond the scope of what was expected.

Not just them.

Their staff and cabinet team were not spared either, completely disappearing from Blue Star Earth without leaving a trace.

It seems that, according to the will of that Taiyi Emperor, all those involved in the siege of Mr. Lu Ya, regardless of whether they obeyed orders or not, should be treated equally.

The deaths of so many world leaders, while deeply shocking, frightening, awe-inspiring, and chilling to the bone for Han Guanglie, Dong Xuanyuan, Zhao Tianfeng, and others, also revealed an opportunity for the rise of the East.

However, before that, they must confirm the specific attitudes of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi and Mr. Lu Ya.

In an instant, everyone's attention fell on Xie Yusheng again.

Zhao Tianfeng couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Sheng, has Mr. Lu Ya returned? Has he resumed contact with you?"

"Yes, I've contacted them."

Xie Yusheng nodded.

With the identity of a disciple of the Supreme Taiyi, and with this powerful figure who could single-handedly dominate the world as his backer, Xie Yusheng no longer needed to speak as cautiously and apprehensively as before.

He said directly, "As everyone can see, after Mr. Lu Ya's persuasion, the Supreme Emperor Taiyi only destroyed the leader of the Blue Star Federation and let go of those who were targeting our Blue Star."

Upon receiving confirmation from Xie Yusheng that he had obtained the information from Lu Ya, everyone couldn't help but nod excitedly.

"That's great! That's really great!"

"His Majesty the Supreme One is truly a benevolent emperor!"

That Taiyi Emperor really spared Blue Star.

Compared to the destruction of Blue Star, the deaths of those leaders of the Blue Star Federation are really nothing.

Although each of them almost represents the supreme ruler of a top superpower, they are the most powerful figures on Blue Star.

But their power is also granted by all the people of Blue Star.

Even if Emperor Taiyi doesn't intervene, they will be forced to step down by the angry public and the elite middle and upper classes, and will be tried and killed.

After all, there's still Mr. Lu Ya watching over Blue Star; a trial is necessary.

"The reason why the Supreme Emperor Taiyi spared Blue Star was partly because of his own benevolence, or rather..."

Xie Yusheng paused slightly. "Blue Star doesn't hold much value for him. If it weren't for Mr. Lu Ya, he probably wouldn't have even glanced at Blue Star. After all... the Changsheng Realm is hundreds or thousands of times larger than Blue Star."

Zhao Tianfeng, Dong Xuanyuan, Han Guanglie, and the others nodded vigorously.

It's good that you don't like it, it's good that you don't like it.

"However, the Supreme Emperor Taiyi's benevolence, aside from his lack of regard for Blue Star, is primarily due to the ancient Xia civilization texts recommended by Mr. Lu Ya, which gave him a favorable impression of our ancient Xia civilization. Moreover, Mr. Lu Ya saved the Blue Star civilization from near destruction because the Blue Star Federation had courted its own demise, and he is very interested in the ancient Xia civilization, therefore..."

Xie Yusheng said.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Tianfeng and the others immediately assured him, "We will do our utmost to collect all the books about the ancient Xia civilization and present them to Mr. Lu Ya. He will be absolutely satisfied."

"Yes, we actually issued the relevant orders not long ago and collected a large number of books. As long as you can contact Mr. Lu Ya, we can send these books over immediately."

Dong Xuanyuan also quickly echoed his sentiments.

"That's good."

Xie Yusheng nodded. "As for contacting Mr. Lu Ya... that's the second thing I want to talk about."

He glanced at the important figures in the room and said in a deep voice, "The fact that Mr. Lu Ya was attacked by the Star Glory Federation has finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi. In order to prevent this from happening again, and to prevent Mr. Lu Ya from being harmed on Blue Star, he will send a small team to guard the Star Spirit Platform in case of emergency."

"Send a small squad to garrison the Star Spirit Platform!?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuanyuan, Zhao Tianfeng, Han Guanglie, and the others all changed their expressions.

What does it mean to station a small team from the Lingxiao Palace of the Immortal Realm at the Star Spirit Platform?

This means that from now on, all countries will have a sword hanging over their heads, with a new, superior power above them.

Everyone must be constantly aware of whether their actions will displease the higher-ups, thus leading to their annihilation.

"This..."

Dong Xuanyuan wanted to say something.

Xie Yusheng shrugged and said, "This is the will of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi. Not to mention us, even Mr. Lu Ya couldn't refuse."

I couldn't refuse.

These four words weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Yes!

Faced with the terrifying power of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi, who could destroy the entire human civilization at will, and even the Blue Star, what right did they have to refuse?

Not to mention...

They also felt that there was nothing wrong with the other party's order.

If we consider Lu Ya as a prince of a top-tier superpower, this prince, because he admires the civilization of a backward little country, insists on traveling there. Unfortunately, that country is not safe, which leads to the prince being attacked and nearly facing death.

In this situation, he dispatched a fully armed and well-equipped squad to that underdeveloped country to protect his safety...

That makes perfect sense.

Since we can't refuse, we should try to maximize its development in a direction that benefits the Central Plains Kingdom, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Yellow Dragon Kingdom.

And the opportunity for development...

"Perhaps we should try to recreate the glory of the ancient Xia civilization."

Dong Xuanyuan said, "I don't think the myths and legends of the ancient Xia civilization are just simple legends, given that they can interest this Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace so much."

Han Guanglie nodded in agreement.

Although they still haven't figured out whether the legendary cultivation texts of the ancient Xia civilization are actually effective, first there was the True Immortal Suimu, and now there's the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace...

These important figures at the top of the cultivation world wouldn't do anything pointless.

"It is foreseeable that the ancient Xia civilization will become the hottest topic on the entire Blue Star for some time to come. In addition, the intimidation of that Lingxiao Palace Master has not yet dissipated, and the leaders of the Blue Star Federation have been almost wiped out..."

At this point, Dong Xuanyuan declared loudly, "I propose the formation of a new Blue Star Security Council. It should not be a military alliance or a collection of political interests, but a global institution truly dedicated to the development of Blue Star and the maintenance of world peace."

Han Guanglie and Zhao Tianfeng both understood the true purpose of his suggestion.

This is an attempt to replace the Starry Federation and the Blue Star Federation, becoming the new overlord of Blue Star.

But...

If we want this hegemonic status to be truly deserved...

"We can invite Mr. Lu Ya to join the Blue Star Security Council and become its first president. Of course, Mr. Lu Ya may be too lazy to deal with matters big and small, so I propose that Group Leader Xie Yu be appointed as the Secretary-General of the Council."

Zhao Tianfeng followed up.

"I agree."

Dong Xuanyuan immediately echoed.

I agree.

Han Guanglie followed up.

If Xie Yusheng were given the position of Secretary-General, he could bring Lu Ya to the Blue Star Security Council, making the Blue Star Security Council's position on Blue Star virtually unshakeable.

Even if other countries have their own ideas and are unwilling to accept them, they have to keep quiet and endure it.

"Me, the Secretary-General?"

Xie Yusheng hesitated after hearing what the others said.

However, he also understood why these people appointed him as executive secretary-general.

Considering the instructions given by Emperor Taiyi when he left...

Xie Yusheng felt that Lu Ya's identity needed to be kept at a certain distance and shrouded in mystery. If he were to truly become the chairman of the council and deal with political figures from various countries for extended periods, it would, on the one hand, cause people to lose their sense of awe, and on the other hand...

He was afraid of being exposed.

After all, Lu Ya was just an imposter.

If someone notices something, things could get messy.

However, Lu Ya cannot show himself, but in order to better handle the matters entrusted to him by Emperor Taiyi, he can take over the position of Secretary-General.

He immediately said after careful consideration, "I will contact Mr. Lu Ya, but I don't know whether he is willing to join the council."

"No rush, we're waiting for your good news."

Zhao Tianfeng, Dong Xuanyuan, and the others all had friendly smiles on their faces.

"We should act without delay and get the higher-ups to make arrangements as soon as possible."

Dong Xuanyuan said.

"I took these books with me and contacted Mr. Lu Ya."

Xie Yusheng echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu Ya has been wronged. Bringing these classics is the only way to show our sincerity."

Zhao Tianfeng quickly replied.

Xie Yusheng then pretended to contact Lu Ya.

Ultimately, Lu Ya refused, citing that he was "not a human from Blue Star".

However, Dong Xuanyuan and the others were clearly unwilling to miss the opportunity to curry favor with Lu Ya.

After much discussion, Lu Ya accepted the position of honorary chairman, merely holding a nominal position on the Blue Star Security Council. Meanwhile, the Central Kingdom, the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, and the Great Jin Dynasty each sent one person to serve as a council member on the Blue Star Security Council.

It is foreseeable that, with the impact and deterrence brought by the arrival of the Supreme Emperor Taiyi on Blue Star, the Blue Star Security Council will expand into a true behemoth at an extremely rapid pace. If it really wants to integrate with the outside world in the future, the power it holds may even surpass that of other countries.
