Seeing Luo Feng and Jia Yi talking ahead, Bai Yue walked forward and greeted them, "Crazy, Councilor Jia."

"Do you know what's going on?" he then asked the two.

"It seems like something big happened on the other side of the ocean, but the details aren't very clear," Jia Yi shook his head. "However, I received a notice from them stating that this incident is catastrophic!"

"Catastrophic!" Bai Yue thought to himself, As expected.

Seeing that they didn't know either, he didn't ask further and chatted with the arriving councilors.

More and more people filled the conference hall, and the atmosphere grew increasingly somber. In less than five minutes, all the councilors were present. The decision-makers from major global powers were attending, meaning the most powerful people in the world had gathered here in a short time.

"Esteemed decision-makers, esteemed speakers, councilors, we have gathered you all here today to solemnly inform you that humanity is facing its greatest disaster in history. The end of humanity may be upon us!" the Great Leader from across the ocean said in a low voice.

At the front of the hall, a giant screen replayed the scenes that had occurred at the war base in New York City.

"Currently, all soldiers at the war base have perished within the monsters' bellies. Even more terrifying is that this monster is commanding two Beast Emperors and numerous other sea monsters to attack the mainland," as he spoke, the screen switched scenes, showing monsters attacking along the river system.

A moment later, the mysterious monster reappeared on the screen. Just like before, it opened its massive mouth and effortlessly swallowed another war base. The soldiers' screams could be heard even through the screen.

The entire hall fell silent. Everyone felt a sense of shared misfortune, like the death of a rabbit causing sorrow to the nearby fox. Hundreds of thousands of lives had just been extinguished.

As a place where humanity's elites gathered, there were naturally those with foresight. A bald white elder stepped forward, stating he knew some information. This person was Clarence, an expert in charge of ancient civilization ruins.

Clarence educated everyone on the cultivation levels in the universe and some information about Starry Sky Giant Beasts. Based on the known information, he determined that this mysterious monster was a Devouring Type Giant Beast among the Starry Sky Giant Beasts.

Furthermore, based on the strength displayed by the Starry Sky Giant Beast, if immediate action was not taken, its attack would cause devastating losses to the Base Cities worldwide, leading to the loss of industrial capabilities, a sharp decline in population, and even extinction.

While everyone was engaged in heated discussion, more bad news arrived from the front. During this attack, the Starry Sky Giant Beast had also revealed a long-range attack method, a laser-like beam. The Starry Sky Giant Beast used it to attack five fleeing spacecraft.

Upon hearing this news, the crowd became even more unsettled. The strength already displayed by the Starry Sky Giant Beast was astonishing. Including Hong, no one could break through its scales. Its terrifying defense made it invincible from the start.

Now, with the addition of a long-range attack, many tactics could no longer be employed, leading some to despair. Others felt a heavy burden in their hearts. Old timers and powerhouses who had experienced the Great Nirvana Era recalled unpleasant memories.

Families torn apart, societal order collapsing, food shortages, rampant thugs, savage beasts running wild... So much had happened. After years of effort, the current structure of Base Cities had finally been established. Now, they were facing such a situation again. This was something no one wanted!

"I'll take care of this Starry Sky Giant Beast. I will resolve it," a calm voice echoed in the conference room. Everyone turned their gazes toward Bai Yue.

Seeing Bai Yue's young face and his golden councilor's robe, those unfamiliar with him showed disappointed expressions. However, those who knew him well displayed thoughtful looks.

"Do you have confidence?" Thunder God asked.

"I'm heading to the scene immediately. Everyone, wait for my news!" After nodding slightly to Thunder God, he smiled at everyone and then disappeared.

After destroying another human war base, the Starry Sky Giant Beast, leading an army of sea monsters headed by two Beast Emperors, was about to approach a human Base City.

The Base City was already under strict martial law, with various fighter jets taking off. Although evacuation signals had been sent long ago, for a Base City with hundreds of millions of inhabitants, where could they possibly evacuate to in such a short time?

"Commander, the Starry Sky Giant Beast is within 100 kilometers of the Base City and is currently moving in our direction," a communications soldier reported to a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a Great General of the opposing continent, inside the spacious command center.

This man was Clarence. He had been a soldier before the Great Nirvana Era. Having gone through the baptism of the Great Nirvana Era, his heart was heavy. As soon as the Starry Sky Giant Beast appeared, the information had been transmitted to him, so he knew the most about it.

Just now, he had been ordered to establish a forward command post and serve as its commander, with full authority to handle all matters in the Base City following the Starry Sky Giant Beast's attack. As the highest decision-maker, he could not show the slightest hint of dejection in front of his subordinates, even though he knew all resistance was futile.

Beside him stood a group of people in various uniforms, all War Gods and high-ranking officials from major powers who had been summoned. Except for a few who had not arrived, almost all the War Gods from major powers like the Limit Martial Hall and Thunder Martial Hall in this Base City were present.

"Mayor Harry, how is the evacuation of personnel progressing?" General Clarence asked, his eyes fixed on the red dot representing the Devouring Beast slowly approaching on the large screen.

"There wasn't enough time. Only some people in areas with nearby underground fortifications have been evacuated. For those further away, it might be too late! And our preparations were insufficient," Mayor Harry, who was being questioned, said with a worried expression.

"Do your best!" General Clarence sighed inwardly, his face expressionless.

"Commander, it's a call from the Great Leader," a communications soldier reported.

"Connect it."

The Great Leader's image was projected in front of him.

"Clarence, Councilor Bai Yue will arrive soon. He will handle the issue of the Starry Sky Giant Beast. Make sure to coordinate with Councilor Bai Yue and be ready to provide support at any time."

"Yes, Mr. Great Leader," General Clarence breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't believe a councilor could defeat the Starry Sky Giant Beast, it might at least buy some time, allowing him to orderly evacuate the population and save more people.

"Where is Councilor Bai Yue's location?"

"Councilor Bai Yue's fighter jet is currently heading towards the Starry Sky Giant Beast and will meet it in 30 seconds," a staff officer immediately replied. A golden marker representing Bai Yue also appeared on the screen.

It wasn't just here; the eyes of the entire world were focused on this area. Most people only knew he was a councilor, a being beyond the War God level, but how strong was he exactly? Only a few, like Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God, knew a little. Even Babata wasn't entirely sure.

Therefore, many people were filled with admiration, believing he was going with a resolve to die. In fact, he hadn't intended to act so soon. He wanted to put a little pressure on the people of Earth, but then he realized the vast difference in strength between the Starry Sky Giant Beast and the people of Earth would not provide good training. Thus, he decided to end it quickly and deal with it himself.

Meanwhile, the Starry Sky Giant Beast, flying towards this location, seemed to sense something and slowed its flight speed. Its eyes flickered with a brutal and cruel aura.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the major powers, the Starry Sky Giant Beast encountered Bai Yue's intelligent fighter jet!
