Where Did This Fleet Come From?
Countries have been exploring the "Fierce Crazy Star" for almost a year, and reverse engineering has revealed a lot of technology, such as boson space observation equipment.
Although it's still quite basic, it's not a big problem to observe the area around the Solar System; the alien fleet was detected as soon as it appeared.
However, its scale was beyond imagination, with as many as 100,000 giant ships, each over 100 kilometers long!
A single similar wreck on the "Fierce Crazy Star" was listed as the ultimate target by various countries.
The sudden emergence of 100,000 "complete" versions has left high-ranking officials and scientists from various countries completely bewildered.
But that wasn't the end of it; soon after, a large number of small and medium-sized ships appeared in pursuit.
The number is hard to calculate; there are probably millions of searches.
Such a massive number of ships, spread out, occupy a space comparable to the volume of the sun, and can even be seen with the naked eye!
The Blue Star people had never seen anything like this before, and they quickly contacted Jessica and Teresa, hoping to ask Lu Li for help through them.
However, the two women did not respond to the message, but instead focused on hunting Erosion Clan member to hone themselves.
After a brief stop, the alien fleet sailed headed towards Blue Star in a grand procession!
Faced with an enemy of this size, no one could guarantee that Lu Li could withstand it. Especially since he hadn't shown himself, it made everyone even more uncertain.
Countries around the world have declared a state of emergency in preparation for this earth-shattering crisis.
Meanwhile, the heads of state of Western countries held separate video conferences.
Faced with this unexpected disaster, the foreign officials present immediately began to curse in a fit of rage:
"Damn it! We're doomed even before that Evil Spirit lifts a finger!"
"Maybe that bastard lured this fleet here! What do we do? We haven't mastered interstellar travel technology yet, there's nowhere to escape."
"As leaders of the Free Human Alliance, we must preserve the flame of civilization no matter what."
Since Lu Li revealed his obvious hostility, foreign nations have actively united to form the "Free Human Alliance".
Its aim is to preserve the flame of free civilization amidst a god-like threat.
But disaster struck unexpectedly, catching them completely off guard. The group argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
At this moment, a Tianzhu man spoke up:
"Gentlemen, why don't we look at this from a different perspective? This matter may not necessarily be a disaster."
The scene fell silent abruptly, and countless eyes turned to the Tianzhu man who had spoken.
His name is Nasuk, and he is the Speaker of the Free Human Alliance and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Despite being under the watchful eyes of everyone, he remained composed and displayed remarkable gentlemanly manners, saying:
"Why not surrender to the extraterrestrials? They must need guides who know the area, or slaves, repairmen or something; it can't be too bad anyway."
That makes perfect sense. Even if you become a slave, it won't be worse than being used as points.
The group of high-ranking foreign officials almost immediately changed their attitude:
"Thank God, it must be God who heard our prayers and sent the messenger of salvation!"
"We must act quickly and contact them immediately!"
"Dr. Adrian, send over all the information about the Evil Spirit so our guests are on guard, and at the same time, show our sincerity."
Nasuk's proposal was unanimously approved, and he immediately arranged for Dr. Adrian, the chief scientist of the space agency, to contact the alien fleet on-site.
Dr. Adrian, a bald, white old man, was holding a piece of equipment and said confidently:
"I will connect you to the extraterrestrial civilization's hotline within half an hour!"
This confidence stems from the capabilities of Fierce Crazy Star Technology; reverse engineering communication equipment is not particularly difficult.
After working for an hour, Dr. Adrian had nothing to show for it except for a head full of sweat.
Nasuk, barely suppressing his irritation, said, "Doctor, you said it would only take half an hour."
Dr. Adrian quickly explained:
"The fleet has actively blocked all information channels, even electromagnetic waves... They don't want any communication with the outside world!"
"What!?"
Nasuk and his high-ranking officials clearly could not accept this explanation and immediately wanted to have someone else take over.
But at that moment, everyone's internal phone rang simultaneously; a message came from the military:
The alien fleet stopped in the Heliosphere, no longer advancing, and seemed to be building a... statue.
--
"By the grace of God, we have finally arrived at the holy land!"
On the flagship, the Black Wujin Priest, whose eyes were covered by a black cloth, trembled with excitement!
This pilgrimage was not only long, but also arduous.
The intelligent races encountered along the way were relatively harmless, especially after news of Lu Li's killing of the "White Dragon Star God" spread, naturally none of them dared to act recklessly.
However, in the vast sea of stars, there are not only intelligent races, but also many monsters that act solely on instinct.
Blazing Salamander ignites the sun within its body, Void Whale capable of manipulating annihilation reactions, and wild Star Eater...
The appearance of any of these ghostly creatures is always accompanied by heavy casualties.
Fortunately, Lu Li's reputation grew, and more and more races wanted to join him on the pilgrimage, eventually leading to the current scale.
Although the Priest Wujin had lost his eyes, thanks to Lu Li's blessing, his perception of the world became incredibly clear.
Looking at the imposing fleet, Priest Wujin said sternly:
"Activate the area broadcast and relay my order to all ships—this is the Lord's holy ground. Anyone who dares to cause even the slightest pollution will be crushed to pieces by me!"
Star God often build their Mother Star according to their own will, and they do not allow outsiders to interfere with their technology or customs.
That's why the fleet stopped outside the Heliosphere, not daring to approach, for fear of causing any impact.
Those who came along were also sensible; they activated the blocking measures early in the morning and entered "silent" mode.
Having arranged this, Priest Wujin prepared to begin the actual pilgrimage.
We've come all this way, we can't just take a quick look and leave.
According to tradition, believers will erect a statue for the deity.
"Let's begin, casting Ceramic Steel!"
Priest Wujin led all the Light Elf away from the warship, carrying only primitive tools such as hammers and chisels.
Other intelligent species did the same, leaving their ships and gathering in the asteroid belt at the edge of the Solar System, picking up their tools and mining like the oldest miners.
The entire process involved no technology; it relied entirely on the physical strength and willpower of the believers.
Those who have made it this far are all people of unwavering faith. A billion people worked together with all their might, including Priest Wujin.
Like diligent ants, they piled the raw materials they mined onto a relatively large asteroid called Ceres, preparing to smelt a substance called "Ceramic Steel".
This material, often used as the main hull of warships, is incredibly sturdy, making it an ideal material for crafting statues.
Meanwhile, the fleet's navigator was also drawing and writing on the ground.
The most primitive methods were used to calculate the gravity of the Solar System to ensure the stability of the statue.
The Solar System is constantly moving under the pull of the Galactic Center, and the presence of Jupiter inside causes gravitational structural instability, making the calculations extremely complex.
Fortunately, these alien believers were not ordinary people; even the weakest among them possessed the ability to undergo marrow cleansing.
Two million navigators from a million ships carved drafts all over the land, which was as large as the Xia Country, before finally calculating the various data for the statue.
With the data in hand, the Wujin priests immediately began construction.
And so, before the eyes of all the Blue Star people, a billion extraterrestrial visitors of all kinds created a... Lu Li statue using the simplest of methods.
