Time is like a young girl's spring heart; it passes in the blink of an eye. Before one knows it, a hundred years have hurried by.

With the concerted efforts of everyone on Xuanshen Island, the situation in the empire was quickly pacified, and the Interstellar Federation was officially established.

The first order of business for the newly formed Federation was large-scale reform. From every aspect and from top to bottom, no one was permitted to object.

The fantasy world has one advantage in this regard: when the rulers want to reform, those with vested interests are unable to stop them.

As long as a god-level powerhouse speaks a word, everyone from top to bottom must obey. Anyone who dares to resist faces only one outcome: death.

The military was restructured, strengthening discipline and enhancing combat effectiveness while simultaneously changing their daily conduct. Eventually, they shifted from being feared by the common people to being respected by them.

Under the federal system, the original nobility was abolished, and vast amounts of land were reclaimed by the authorities. Under the Federation's arrangements, many commoners received sufficient land.

Although the magical universe had a very abundant food supply, it could not withstand the extravagant wastefulness of the nobility, and there were still commoners in some small villages who could not afford to eat.

To address this, the Federation cracked down on these nobles while improving the distribution methods.

At the same time, with the help of the Academy of Sciences, agriculture underwent mechanized reform, and the yields of various crops saw a massive leap.

In just a few short months, the Federation ensured the basic food supply for all its citizens.

Meanwhile, transportation across the Federation was continuously improved under the promotion of the parliament, and various types of trains, and even civilian aircraft, began to appear on the stage of history.

Due to the improvement in transportation, a large number of merchants became active, which in turn brought about the full exchange of resources between different regions.

In addition, a large number of schools were established, allowing children across the country to receive an education. This included not only traditional warrior academies and mage academies but also training institutes for various trades, providing a way out for children without great talent.

As the technology for seafaring vessels continued to improve, merchants discovered that it was actually more cost-effective to do business directly across the ocean with the two major churches on the other side of the continent.

Consequently, a large number of transoceanic merchant fleets began conducting new business on the ocean, selling goods to the two major churches that were originally the furthest from the Federation. The blank market allowed them to make a fortune.

The federal economy saw rapid progress, driven by both land and sea routes.

At the same time, the training provided by the academies allowed various scientific projects to absorb a large number of high-quality talents over the decades. The entire technology tree began to advance, and the entire Federation flourished.

This day is a date that the entire continent will remember.

In the future history records of the Federation, this day is the turning point of the Interstellar Federation and the beginning of the unification of the continent.

In the western region of the Federation, in the uninhabited area of the Sara Desert, groups of people dressed in green clothing moved in and out, each with a solemn expression.

Inside the laboratory, researchers in white coats tapped away at keyboards incessantly. Various data flashed across screens, and everyone looked serious, not daring to blink.

"Lord Huosi, everything is ready. Please give the order."

Adkins looked at the screen and excitedly requested of Huosi.

"Good. I announce that the Federation's first nuclear bomb is officially detonated!"

Huosi also stared fixedly at the screen, his divine sense already spread out, ready to act at any moment, waiting for this final instant.

For this moment, the Federation had consumed a massive amount of manpower and material resources, making sufficient preparations, waiting only for this final second.

"Detonate!"

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking roar, the entire earth seemed to tremble, and a massive amount of data began to change frantically.

The next second, Huosi's figure instantly vanished from the laboratory and appeared directly in mid-air, staring fixedly into the distance.

At this moment, a dazzling light instantly obscured everything, and then, a massive mushroom cloud soared into the sky.

"This is the super nuclear bomb that can be used in this world. There is no radiation, yet the power far exceeds that of my previous life. Even a god, if hit head-on, would be severely injured!"

Huosi watched this scene, murmuring with a hint of excitement in his tone.

At the very beginning, when he obtained the design method for the nuclear bomb, he had doubts in his heart.

At the very least, based on his knowledge from his previous life, the power of a nuclear bomb was difficult to compare with gods, or even with the Sanctuary.

However, as he delved deeper into the research, he gradually discovered that the super nuclear bomb the system gave him was completely different from the nuclear bombs he understood.

Based on the foundations of this universe, it used a different method to convert, store, and release divine power, which was fundamentally different from the nuclear bombs he understood.

For these hundred years, he had devoted almost all his time to the scientific research of the nuclear bomb, and today, it was finally completed.

With this, combined with the previously completed Dongfeng missile system network, even if the other few god-level powerhouses joined forces, he could break the deadlock with sheer force. Unifying the continent would be unstoppable.

"My Lord, is... is this a nuclear bomb? It is too terrifying."

Adkins flew out behind him, speaking with a sense of shock.

Although they were far away, the fluctuations generated by the explosion made Adkins feel a sense of dread.

"That's right, this is a nuclear bomb. It is something that can change this world."

Huosi spoke with a touch of pride.

Witnessing the detonation of the nuclear bomb with his own eyes reminded him of his previous life, and his tone carried a bit of nostalgia.

Although the two were fundamentally different, it still brought back a few memories.

"Congratulations, my Lord. With this, our Federation will soon be able to unify the continent."

Adkins replied respectfully.

"That alone is not enough. When doing things, one must ensure everything is foolproof. How is the progress on the research into the Divine Domain over at Bernas's end?"

Huosi thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Regarding that, Grandpa Bernas mentioned it to me a few days ago. It should be completed within these next few days."

Adkins spoke up.

Over these past hundred years, the Federation's primary research, aside from God-Slaying Level nuclear bombs, has been the study of the Divine Domain.

"Mm, perfect. Let's go take a look."

Huosi nodded and, taking Adkins with him, flew toward the Academy of Sciences.

Ever since he began engaging in scientific research—or rather, ever since he arrived in this universe—Huosi had been pondering: what exactly is the Divine Domain?

In the system of the magic universe, the Divine Domain is a unique ability of God-level powerhouses. Once released, it can directly control anyone below the God level; this is the insurmountable gap between the Saint Domain and gods.

At the same time, divine sense also possesses a detection function. Everything within the range of one's divine sense can be seen with absolute clarity.

So, if we look at it from the opposite perspective—not using the magic universe as a system, but considering it from the angle of mechanical civilization—what should the Divine Domain be?

After years of research and experimentation, Huosi had roughly formed a line of thought.

The so-called Divine Domain is an abstract concept. In reality, from a scientific perspective, it should be a magnetic field constructed by special particles released with a godhead as the core.

In the magic universe, these so-called particles are the unique sense of control released with divine power as the foundation.

And as long as this magnetic field is gradually decoded through experiments with particle pulses specially crafted by mechanical civilization, an anti-magnetic field can be constructed to break it.

To this end, he had handed Lingester's godhead over to Bernas, providing him with various research equipment and personnel. Now, the Anti-Divine Domain Magnetic Field weapon had been successfully developed.

Next, as long as the corresponding anti-magnetic field is installed on the J-20 fighter jet, the Divine Domain can be easily broken.

Theoretically, once a fighter jet is equipped with the anti-magnetic field and nuclear missiles, it possesses the capability to fight a low-level god head-on.

One must know that the reason a god is called a god is that the Divine Domain is an indispensable trump card.

Comprehending one category of laws and mysteries to one hundred percent allows one to become a low-level god, while comprehending ninety-nine percent still leaves one in the Saint Domain. People like Faen and Desli belong to the peak of the Saint Domain.

The peak of the Saint Domain is only a step away from godhood, yet the gap between the two is insurmountable.

This is because, first, within the Divine Domain, a Saint Domain expert would be frozen and unable to move. Second, due to the enhancement of divine power, their attack, defense, speed, and recovery capabilities are not on the same level.

Once the Divine Domain is lost, although a low-level god still holds an advantage, they might not necessarily lose to a siege by several peak Saint Domain experts.

But now, the fighter jet can break the Divine Domain and avoid being controlled by a god.

At the same time, it can unleash attacks capable of injuring a god. As long as they use sheer numbers, theoretically, even a pilot who is only a level-seven warrior could potentially slay a god by using dozens of fighter jets to surround them.

Of course, this is only theoretical; after all, a God-level powerhouse will not stand still and let the enemy attack.

However, if the fighter jets were to coordinate with Huosi, he is confident that he could, with his own strength, contend against all the gods on the entire continent.

"Quick, activate the magnetic field and detect all data."

Inside the laboratory, Bernas was constantly issuing commands. Despite being a Saint Domain powerhouse, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.

Having prepared for so long, the final experiment was about to begin, and it was inevitable that he would feel some anxiety.

"Don't be nervous. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter."

Huosi's voice rang out behind him.

"My lord, we will not fail."

Hearing the familiar voice, Bernas turned and bowed, speaking with determination.

Although the lord said that failure is the mother of success, he would not allow himself to fail like this. If he was going to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability—he would succeed on the first attempt.

"Is that so? I am looking forward to it as well."

Huosi nodded and did not continue to reassure Bernas, instead fixing his gaze on the fighter jet circling in the sky.

Bernas's current state did not require his reassurance; rather, he needed high-intensity work to maintain his focus.

The next second, the fighter jet began to fly in the air, and then, a special device was activated.

An opposing domain, with the fighter jet as the core, was released toward the surroundings.

Huosi's eyes flickered slightly as he released his Divine Domain toward the fighter jet, attempting to control it.

However, the fighter jet was not affected in the slightest, continuing to fly in an orderly manner.

"It's a success, my lord! We succeeded!"

Bernas shouted excitedly as he looked at the data on the screen.

"Mm, you did well."

Huosi patted Bernas firmly on the shoulder:

"Everyone, you have worked hard. I will never forget the contributions of all the research personnel."
