The voice of the Sky Screen followed closely.

A short sentence plunged the entire Douluo Star into a strange silence, many citizens of Douluo Star standing right where they were with expressions of utter bewilderment.

It felt like being halfway through using the restroom and suddenly realizing there was no toilet paper.

The development of events was simply far too fast.

The second before, they were still discussing just how strong Huaxia Star was, and the next second, the Sky Screen had directly placed the so-called "Nuclear-Peace Toy" right in front of everyone.

What was even more absurd was that that thing turned out to be merely a toy for Huaxia Star children!

"No way..."

"Are we on Douluo Star finished just like that?"

Someone finally could not help speaking out.

"And just what kind of monstrous planet is Huaxia Star?"

"Even a child's toy can obliterate a Titled Douluo?"

"How is anyone supposed to play this game?"

Following that first voice, the entire Virtual World Exchange Forum instantly exploded.

Countless Douluo Star citizens frantically posted messages.

Especially those ordinary people, who were each left with their scalps tingling from the shock.

In the past, they simply could not imagine just what level so-called weapons of war could reach.

In their view, Soul Masters were the most powerful existences in this world.

Titled Douluos stood high above, and Soul Douluos were enough to suppress an entire region.

Soul Saints and Soul Emperors were figures that many people could only look up to for a lifetime.

Yet what about now?

A child's toy from Huaxia Star could actually target a Titled Douluo.

This had completely exceeded the cognitive understanding of the Douluo Star citizens.

"I mean..."

"Can this toy still be bought?"

Someone suddenly typed a weak sentence into the forum.

"I want a dozen!"

The replies that followed instantly flooded the screen.

"I want some too!"

"Give me ten!"

"Who would even bother cultivating Soul Power with this kind of thing around?"

"Soul Masters cultivate for decades, only to fall short of some kid holding a toy?"

The forum was in a state of boiling uproar.

Of course, those who truly realized the severity of the problem were the Soul Masters on Douluo Star.

They were even clearer than ordinary people on what a Titled Douluo truly signified.

Precisely because of that, they understood the terror of that "Nuclear-Peace Toy" all the more.

For a time, quite a few Soul Masters began to frantically ponder.

If this kind of weapon could truly be popularized... if ordinary people could also master it...

Then, how much longer could the ruling position established by Soul Masters over a long period be maintained?

Especially those ordinary citizens who had already completed their awakenings, who already harbored resentment due to unfairness in reality.

Now, in the Virtual World Exchange Forum, they had come into contact with Huaxia Star once more.

From the ordinary citizens of Huaxia Star, they saw a completely different way of life.

Now, seeing this terrifying weapon as well.

A single thought began to slowly take root in the depths of countless people's hearts.

[Perhaps... we can also rely on force to fight for our own rights?]

This thought was extremely dangerous, but once it appeared, it could no longer be easily dismissed.

More and more people began to ponder, and more and more people began to communicate.

Some had even already started trying to research how to let ordinary people possess the power to contend against Soul Masters.

And all of this was merely the impact brought about by a single "Nuclear-Peace Toy".

Its aftershocks continued to spread.

Within Spirit Hall, the numerous high-ranking members who had originally remained immersed in shock now wore solemn expressions one and all.

Yue Guan's face, which always carried a trace of aristocratic elegance, struggled to maintain its calmness at this moment.

He stared at the Sky Screen, remaining silent for a long time before finally slowly spitting out a single sentence.

"It seems..."

"We ultimately underestimated Huaxia Star after all."

No one inside the grand hall retorted, for everyone understood that this was not an exaggerated statement.

They truly had underestimated them.

Previously, they had always believed that no matter how strong Huaxia Star was, it was at most a planet with a very high degree of technological development.

Yet looking at it now, they were wrong, and wrong in a most absurd fashion.

"Even a mere child's toy can possess this kind of might..."

Ghost Douluo's low voice came from beneath his hood.

"If I were to take that strike head-on, I fear I might not necessarily come out unscathed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire grand hall grew even quieter.

And if that was merely a toy, then what about weapons truly utilized in warfare?

Thinking of this, even Bibi Dong's gaze grew solemn.

She remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"From now on, Huaxia Star must absolutely not be viewed according to ordinary factions anymore."

"At the very least, we do not yet possess the qualifications to look down on them."

Bibi Dong's voice was not loud.

Yet everyone inside the grand hall heard it clearly and distinctly.

"Starting from now, re-evaluate Huaxia Star."

"At the same time, prepare to deal with the worst-case scenario."

As her voice fell, the crowd nodded successively, and not even Qian Daoliu spoke up to refute her anymore.

For reality had already provided the most direct answer.

They could refuse to submit, and they could be proud.

They could even believe that their own Soul Power system remained powerful.

However, in the face of this kind of power capable of easily altering the rules of warfare, not a single person could maintain their disdain.

In the Divine Realm, the atmosphere likewise underwent a change.

The deities who had just been brimming with high spirits because of the grand military parade now looked at one another in dismay.

They had originally prepared everything, and some had even begun considering where to hold the victory banquet.

After all, in their view, the Divine Realm army had already completed its assembly.

As long as they waited for the war to truly begin.

With the foundation of the Divine Realm, capturing Huaxia Star was not a particularly difficult matter.

Yet now, a single scene within the Sky Screen directly stalled all of their plans.

"This... that thing really was a toy?"

A deity could not help but speak out.

No one answered, for the answer had already been written upon the Sky Screen.

Even though they could not directly view the Virtual World Exchange Forum, the discussions on Douluo Star had already been transmitted into the Divine Realm through various channels.

The gods finally pieced together the truth of the matter as well.

Huaxia Star, a child, a toy, obliterating a Titled Douluo-level existence.

Each word on its own was nothing much, but when combined together, they became incomparably terrifying.

The Asura God's expression was likewise somewhat unsightly as he glanced around his surroundings.

"It seems..."

"We truly did underestimate the enemy somewhat previously."

With this sentence falling, the entire Divine Realm fell into a brief silence.

Subsequently, a deity slowly spoke.

"Perhaps we need to re-evaluate Huaxia Star."

"At the very least, we can no longer directly treat them as ordinary mortal factions like we did before."

The God King of Goodness's originally sharp gaze returned to gentleness at this moment as she nodded slightly.

"War requires caution."

"Since the enemy's strength has already shown new changes, we naturally ought to reformulate our plans as well."

It was as if that God King who had advocated directly slaughtering into Huaxia Star just moments ago had never existed.

The other deities echoed her sentiments one after another; the iron fist of reality was clearly far more effective than any persuasion.

Thus, under the proposal of the Asura God, the deities once again entered a state of war discussion.

They began to recalculate Huaxia Star's strength and readjust their combat plans.

They even began to ponder: if that kind of weapon was not Huaxia Star's most powerful force, then what on earth were they truly facing?

And just as the Divine Realm and Spirit Hall were re-evaluating Huaxia Star.

On Douluo Star, another group of people began to suffer a mental breakdown.

The major empires, numerous kingdoms, and duchies of Douluo Star.

Along with the noble factions that had long since completed the assembly of their armies.

Their complexions were ashen one and all as they discovered a very serious problem.

They seemed to have been ignored.

"Wait!"

A noble abruptly stood up.

"What did the Sky Screen just say?"

"Huaxia Star's three military branches?"

His voice grew louder and louder.

"Then what about us?"

The grand hall was plunged in dead silence.

Immediately afterward, someone else spoke through clenched teeth.

"Could it be that the armies of our Douluo Star don't even possess the qualifications to be introduced in the eyes of the Sky Screen?"

This sentence pierced heavily into the hearts of all the nobles like a needle.

They could lose, they could be mocked, and they could even accept that Huaxia Star was stronger than them.

Yet the problem was that their dignified armies, formed from a coalition of the major empires of Douluo Star, didn't even get a chance to make a proper appearance!

What was this supposed to be? Side dishes? They didn't even count as side dishes!

"Have we been ignored?"

"In the eyes of the Sky Screen, have we now completely become insignificant existences?"

"How can this be!"

An angry roar rang out, and the complexions of quite a few kings completely changed.

For the first time, they felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

Even Spirit Hall could not help but slightly frown, let alone Tang San and his master.

"Bastard!"

Yu Xiaogang was the first to jump out.

"The Sky Screen is simply unfair!"

"Our Douluo Star possesses such formidable military strength, yet it's completely outside its scope of statistics?"

The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the more agitated he became.

"I think this Sky Screen is simply targeting us!"

"It is the lifelong enemy of me, Yu Xiaogang!"

Hearing this, Tang San's expression also underwent a series of changes.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar had already grown accustomed to it, whereas Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing fell silent in unison.

The gazes the two young women directed at Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly complicated.

By now, they couldn't even be bothered to retort anymore.

For they discovered that Grandmaster had completely sunk into his own world.

Cursing the Sky Screen, cursing Huaxia Star, cursing Spirit Hall, cursing everyone different from himself.

It seemed to have become the only thing Yu Xiaogang was capable of doing.

"I've learned something."

Ma Hongjun suddenly spoke in a low voice, and Oscar could not help nodding as well.

"We've gained another way of phrasing things when cursing people in the future."

"Shut your mouths, you lot!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, but no one cared about him.

For at this moment, the attention of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had already returned once more to the Sky Screen.

What they truly cared about was another question.

How strong was Huaxia Star, really?

The Nuclear-Peace Toy from just a moment ago was already enough to shock people.

What about a real army, then?

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong even felt that the mortal armies of Douluo Star being temporarily ignored was not something entirely unacceptable.

After all...

"They even have Nuclear-Peace Toys."

Ning Rongrong looked up at the Sky Screen and spoke softly.

"Which country on our Douluo Star could ever produce something like that?"

A single sentence instantly shattered the psychological defenses of countless people whose defenses had not yet been breached.

Within the Virtual World Exchange Forum.

Silence-a deathly silence.

Then, countless posts refreshed frantically.

"Ning Rongrong, nobody will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!"

"Right in the feels!"

"Yet what she said actually makes some sense..."

"I unexpectedly can't find a counterargument."

"..."

Ning Rongrong's remark was like the final straw.

Quite a few kings who had originally been furious forcibly suppressed their anger at that moment.

They wanted to see for themselves, since the Sky Screen dared to claim that the armies of Douluo Star were not worth mentioning.

Then what on earth was the actual caliber of Huaxia Star's true military?

In the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor let out a cold snort.

"I'd like to see just how formidable those three branches of Huaxia Star's forces truly are!"

"To dare ignore even my Star Luo Empire."

"Then I shall witness with my own eyes what on earth they rely on to act so arrogant!"

The rulers of other nations also spoke up one after another.

"I want to see this!"

"The Space Force?"

"Why doesn't he just ascend to the heavens and become a god?"

Amidst the fury, public opinion across the entire Douluo Star boiled over once again.

Nation after nation began frantically promoting their own military strength.

All sorts of information continuously appeared on the Virtual World Exchange Forum.

The core strategy was: public opinion goes before the three armies!

Yet the citizens of Huaxia Star were not affected by these voices at all.

Many people even just smiled faintly as they watched the military might frantically advertised by Douluo Star.

Because they knew better than anyone else.

Their own true foundation.

"Look!"

At that very moment, the Sky Screen finally changed.

The massive image that had originally covered the entire starry sky began to shift slowly.

Countless rays of light converged, and the silhouette of a massive army gradually appeared within everyone's field of vision.

Stern, neat, and forbidding.

Merely an outline was enough to make countless people on Douluo Star involuntarily hold their breath.

The expression of the Star Luo Emperor also gradually froze.

The members of Spirit Hall raised their heads, and the gods of the Divine Realm likewise ceased their arguments.

At this moment, everyone's attention was completely captivated.

Because they knew that the true army of Huaxia Star was finally about to arrive!

The next second, a cold and grand voice slowly echoed across the entire Douluo Star from atop the Sky Screen.

[Next, the exhibition of the Huaxia Star Soul Master Corps begins, commanded by Federation Councilor Xingtian!]
