Peace Talks

"We can begin."

In less than an hour, Lu Li had already reached the skies over Florida.

Ahead lies Miami, the state's most prosperous city, and Lake Okeechobee, the second largest freshwater lake in the Star Alliance Country.

Lu Li activated his Heavenly Eye to "observe the aura" and discovered that the Spiritual Vein was indeed located on the south bank of the lake.

In addition, the area experiences thunderstorms, a common feature of tropical climates, making this trip a win-win situation.

Lu Li immediately manifested his mental image and commanded: [Destroy this city]

Annihilation was happy to carry out such an order, and its three excited heads hissed simultaneously.

Its call is extremely penetrating and can be clearly heard within a radius of 200 kilometers, making people tremble with fear.

Lu Li had issued an early warning, and the people, who were fleeing with their families, were terrified when they heard the shouts.

With tens of millions of people traveling at the same time, the roads are completely blocked, and right now all we can do is honk our horns incessantly.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a colossal figure swept past.

Compared to its 185-meter body length, the "Annihilation's" massive 460-meter wingspan is even more awe-inspiring.

When fully extended, it can completely cover an aircraft carrier, and when it flies through the air, it blots out the sky.

A group of people, white, black, and brown, were immediately terrified. They abandoned their belongings, jumped out of the car, and fled on foot, helping the elderly and carrying the young.

The large group of people had only run a short distance when they heard a tremendous tremor behind them.

Turning my head, I saw the three heads of the Demon Dragon spewing out Golden Stream, shattering skyscrapers into pieces like cookies.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring their vision, but everyone knew their homes were gone.

Sobbing could be heard from all around. Someone took pictures of it all with their phone and uploaded them online to elicit sympathy.

The army abandoned us, leaving monsters to run rampant.

Have mercy, we shouldn't have to go through all this.

The destroyed city and the fleeing crowds were truly pitiful, which garnered a wave of sympathy.

Especially on the Eastern internet, countless well-known bloggers and internet celebrities have transformed themselves into "saints," clamoring:

Every life deserves respect. Does power give one the right to do whatever one wants?

We must stop Superman from going mad, or he will lead the entire Blue Star to destruction.

[And who can guarantee that Superman won't do the same thing to us?]

Such rhetoric is overwhelming, clearly an attempt to drag a certain major Eastern power into the fray.

But ever since New York was destroyed, officials from various countries have stopped mentioning Lu Li, as if they have all gone blind, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.

So, despite the clamor for peace online, in reality, life is peaceful and tranquil, and everyone is sitting back and doing nothing.

Lu Li ordered Annihilation to demolish the city, while he went to extract spiritual energy.

This was a familiar task for Lu Li, who easily pinpointed the exact location of the Spiritual Vein and then summoned the "Kunlun Mirror" to extract it.

He also cautioned. "[Do not extract it violently; do not trigger a natural disaster.]"

Lu Li did not want to harm the planet, Kunlun Mirror also followed its master's wishes, extracting the energy relatively slowly.

Blue light surged from the ground and continuously flowed into the mirror, quickly reaching 500 units.

Lu Li was fairly satisfied, and seeing that Annihilation was also having fun, he took the opportunity to summon four flying swords and begin refining them.

To advance to the Third Rank, one must infuse the "Golden Mind" into the magical artifact to catalyze its formation, causing it to bond and recombine at the "atomic" level, transforming it into a more powerful and magical substance.

Although there are clever ideas to speed things up, the entire process cannot be omitted, resulting in a huge workload.

Lu Li has been busy with this whenever he has free time. At this moment, a halo appeared behind his head, shooting out golden light to cover the four flying swords.

Soon, firefly-like blue specks of light floated from the sword's blade, a beautiful sight, but these were the impurities being expelled.

Once the impurities are cleared out, the Third Rank weapon can be upgraded to a third-grade magic weapon. This process is tedious and boring, and will consume a lot of the Cultivator's energy.

They had no choice but to do it; magical artifacts were not only related to combat power, but also to Cultivator's right and left arms, and were of paramount importance.

"Fortunately, Wan Qing Manifestation and was able to help share the burden."

Lu Li was very fortunate, otherwise he would have had to deal with 7 flying swords and the White Dragon Whip all by himself, which was a huge headache just thinking about it.

As the distant metropolis slowly turned into ruins, the spiritual energy extracted by the Kunlun Mirror also broke through the 1000 mark.

The flow of inspiration is starting to decrease, and it should be reaching the critical point soon.

After undergoing a period of refinement, the four flying swords became much more active, even colliding with each other on their own, shaking out more impurities.

Everything went very smoothly; all that's left is to find a dark cloud to bring about today's "heavenly strike."

But just then, a small civilian helicopter flew over, with a white flag flying on it.

Lu Li looked up and saw that the helicopter was not carrying any weapons and had only one pilot and one passenger.

Lu Li guessed that this was probably a delegation sent by the Star Alliance Country to negotiate, and since he wanted to hear what they had to say, he didn't stop them.

However, the helicopter began to veer off course just 2 kilometers away, its electronic equipment disrupted by the surge of energy.

The approaching person had to land at a distance and approach on foot.

The man was a young white man with a rare kind face and a peaceful smile.

Lu Li thought he looked familiar and remembered that he was a foreign internet celebrity who was very popular in Xia Country.

It was somewhat unexpected that the Star Alliance Country would send such a person to negotiate.

However, for him to appear at this time, there must be high expectations placed on him, and he must have something to offer.

"Hello, I'm Corva, I..."

As Corva approached and greeted him, his face suddenly turned purple, and he knelt down on the ground.

"I can't breathe..."

Corva felt an intense pressure emanating from Lu Li, which rendered his heart and lungs ineffective.

Fortunately, Lu Li realized this and quickly withdrew his aura.

Once you reach his level, you have to be extremely careful when interacting with ordinary people.

Unless it's a person of the opposite sex with whom you frequently exchange bodily fluids, it will cause an imbalance in the body's magnetic field, leading to the inability of the heart and lung muscles to function properly.

It took Corva a minute to catch his breath; the smile on his face had vanished, leaving him only with lingering fear.

He almost died just now, only because he got a little too close to the other party, close to a True God...

The urgent message from the Star Alliance Country high command coming through the cochlear communicator brought Corva back to his senses.

Remembering his mission, he quickly and respectfully said, "It is my honor to meet you."

While refining his flying sword, Lu Li said, "Hmm, I know you. Tell me about it."

Corva stared at the flying sword bathed in golden light, paused for a second, and then said:

"Every country has its despicable and shameless people, but it also has no shortage of noble and kind individuals. As things have unfolded, while your actions have certainly vented your anger and punished your enemies, they have inevitably harmed the innocent. On behalf of countless kind-hearted people, I implore you to stop all of this."

Lu Li listened quietly to him finish speaking, then looked up at him and said calmly:

"Corva, do you know how the human immune system works?"

"Ah?"
