Even though Li Xingkong and Tang Cheng made many detailed adjustments related to the Moon People to make themselves look different from ordinary Earth Star People, one could still see a kind and gentle demeanor in Li Xingkong's appearance.

But as a trace of his cultivation aura was leaked, the crowd, who had initially felt nothing, suddenly felt as if some pressure had been placed upon them, and the source of this pressure was none other than the kind-looking person in front of them.

Li Xingkong naturally didn't understand anything about momentum or anything like that, and he had little experience in dealing with people, so he didn't know much about that aspect. But fortunately, there were other alternative methods.

If you can't put pressure on someone mentally, then put pressure on them physically.

The car adjusted its demeanor several times as it drove towards the venue. Fortunately, the person driving to pick them up was also an insider in Li Xingkong's plan, so adjusting the demeanor in front of them posed no risk of exposure.

Before long, the car stopped at the entrance of the venue, and from inside the car, you could already see countless heads peeking out from inside the venue.

Countless flashes began to go off, almost blinding people.

"Three, two, one, whoosh, I'm starting!"

Tang Cheng gave himself a few words of encouragement, then spoke to Li Xingkong.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a grand occasion, so it was understandable that he was nervous.

Li Xingkong nodded, and Tang Cheng finally let out a long sigh of relief. Then he pushed open the door and walked out.

Tang Cheng's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention. They looked at Tang Cheng's strange clothes and patterns, as well as the details of his appearance that distinguished him from the Earth Star People. The most important feature was the membrane that the Vacuum Technique used to isolate cosmic Fallout and maintain breathing. At this moment, the color of this membrane had been deliberately adjusted to make it more obvious.

This is the most important feature that Li Xingkong and his team designed to distinguish them from Earth Star People. After all, to live in a vacuum environment, there must be a guarantee that one can live in space.

After getting out of the car, Tang Cheng didn't head straight for the venue. Instead, he turned around and opened the door for Li Xingkong, since he was playing the role of Li Xingkong's underling, and Li Xingkong was the main character this time.

After he opened the door, Li Xingkong slowly floated out. As Li Xingkong appeared, everyone present felt a weight on their shoulders, as if something was pressing down on them.

Perhaps this is the unique domineering aura of aliens.

If Li Xingkong could speak right now, he would definitely laugh a few times. What bullshit domineering aura? This is just damn gravity.

With Li Xingkong's appearance, the main character of this meeting has been determined.

After all, Li Xingkong's feet left the ground, hovering as he flew towards the venue, while Tang Cheng followed behind him on foot.

It's obvious who's in charge.

Originally, the arena should have become more noisy after Li Xingkong out, after all, he was the real alien. However, after Li Xingkong added a little pressure, many people hesitated and felt uncomfortable under this pressure.

I even felt a little afraid to take pictures.

As Li Xingkong and Tang Cheng walked to the center of the venue and met with representatives from various countries, the numerous reporters in the crowd finally came to their senses.

"Welcome, comrades of the Xi People, to Earth Star as our guests."

At this moment, someone was already greeting Li Xingkong in the venue. Li Xingkong nodded in response, stretched out a hand and waved it lightly in front of him, withdrawing the aura he had released.

Those around them felt the pressure instantly disappear, and they felt much better.

This was undoubtedly Li Xingkong's way of intimidating them, and although this move was intangible, it did have some effect. At least some of the representatives who had shown strong hostility before Li Xingkong arrived did not immediately come forward to cause trouble.

Most importantly, they did not yet know where this pressure came from, and Li Xingkong's ability to fly out of thin air was clearly a technology they did not know. This unintentional display of technical ability was enough to make many representatives calm down before speaking.

The personnel who received Li Xingkong then began to introduce (fabricated) anecdotes about what happened during Divine Land's moon landing, and how it met with the Xi People and established diplomatic relations.

After speaking for a while, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer. Of course, it wasn't the Eagle Country that started the trouble, but rather a few of his henchmen.

"As far as I know, all our current laws only protect Earth Star People. We do not consider extraterrestrials to have the same status as Earth Star People. Is there some hidden secret behind Divine Land's unilateral recognition of extraterrestrials' status?"

The Stick Country representative began speaking immediately, and although he did not directly engage in dialogue with Li Xingkong, he was constantly finding fault.

"We believe that any civilization capable of communication and with a willingness to engage in friendly exchanges can be a partner in establishing diplomatic relations and a companion in exploring the universe."

The spokesperson for Divine Land said a few words, then was interrupted by the representative of Cherry Blossom Country.

"I think there's something wrong with doing this. Survival of the fittest, what makes these aliens think they can stand firm in the current world order? Just because of Divine Land's own limited perspective? We will absolutely not recognize their legitimacy until we see their true strength."

The guy was a bit reserved at first, but he got more and more arrogant as he talked, after all, he had someone backing him up.

"Civilization is not just about competition, it also includes cooperation..."

The spokesperson for Divine Land was about to say a few more words when Li Xingkong stepped forward and gestured for him to stop.

He glanced around. The representatives present each had their own agendas. Even some countries with good relations with Divine Land, like Big Hair, had their own ulterior motives. They might be good friends, but they couldn't stand to see their brother making money.

"I've figured it out. The so-called civilization you're pursuing is, at its core, still based on the law of the jungle; it's just something you say in a nicer way."

Li Xingkong used the Xi People language for the first half of his sentence, but switched to a more stuttering Divine Land dialect for the second half, pretending that he had learned it first.

Tang Cheng promptly translated the sentence.

Upon hearing this, the representatives present, though silent, clearly agreed with their expressions.

"As long as you can integrate into our Earth Star's culture and are willing to accept our guidance, we welcome new races."

The representative from the Eagle Country made a timely remark.

Li Xingkong, his eyes showing no emotion.

"Well, I originally thought Divine Land was a relatively civilized civilization, and I assumed Earth Star civilizations were like that. But now it seems this one is the only exception."

"Since we're talking about the survival of the fittest, then please take a look at my move."

Li Xingkong surveyed his surroundings, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. Several representatives who were close to him were somewhat intimidated and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Haha, what's the use of individual strength if you're strong? We're no longer in the era of cold weapons."

The Stick Country representative was intimidated by that look, but he remained defiant.

"Is that so? I hope you can continue later."

Li Xingkong looked around. There was nothing else on the ground. After surveying the area, he simply took a steel bar from a nearby shelf and removed it with his bare hands.

Although they were shocked by Li Xingkong's strength in dismantling steel bars with his bare hands, in modern society, firepower is king, and even the strongest ability is not enough.

"Just a street performer."

The representative from Cherry Blossom Country also chimed in, saying that judging from the aliens' appearance, their military strength was probably just so-so, and it would be better to quickly curry favor with Eagle Country.

Although these aliens seem to have advanced technology, they're just like Wakanda in those movies—all technology and no military capability, ultimately destined to be devoured by various countries.

Li Xingkong ignored these Joker; he hadn't even started what he was about to demonstrate yet.

He weighed the steel bar in his hand, then made a javelin-throwing gesture, but his gesture was a bit strange, as he was pointing it towards the sky, and his eyes were fixed on the sky.

"I apologize in advance, but since this representative from Stick Country has put it this way, I'll give you a small token of my appreciation."

Li Xingkong spoke softly, then exerted force with his feet, and all the Magic Power in his body circulated rapidly, flowing into the short steel bar.

With a flick of his wrist, the steel bar in his hand shot up like a javelin—no, a rocket—breaking several sound barriers on the spot and hurtling straight into the sky.

The tremendous sound of breaking the sound barrier echoed in the ears of those around them, and the shockwave violently blew the clothes off everyone in the venue, causing some who were not on their feet to fall over.

Just as the people in the hall were recovering from what had just happened and were still processing what had occurred, some of them noticed something new.

"Look at the sky."

Before anyone could even grasp the power of Li Xingkong, everyone's attention was drawn to the sky by the shout.

What was once an endless expanse of blue sky now has a bright little dot in the middle, looking as if something in the sky has exploded.

"What, what is this?"

Some people were already stunned; they had already figured something out.

Li Xingkong dropped a steel bar that shot straight into the sky; this commotion in the heavens is definitely related to him.

"I'm sorry, but in order to give everyone a direct demonstration of the military might of our Xi People, I had no choice but to destroy one of your so-called satellites. As for which one, this representative from Stick Country is truly sorry."

Although Li Xingkong's words were an apology, only a few individuals truly understood the meaning behind them.
