Their Respective Opportunities, Taking Turns Caring for the Lord

While Shen Xing and his team were focusing all their efforts on leveling up, the situation around the world was also undergoing new changes.

On Blue Star, deep within an unknown ocean, lies a massive base.

The base's main hall was empty and dark.

Through the hazy glow of energy, one could see that the walls around the hall were made up of huge, screen-like panels.

At this moment, the displays lit up one after another, revealing distinctive figures and backgrounds.

Some were in the solemn and dignified presidential palace, where large desks were piled high with documents.

Some are set in ancient palaces, with figures wearing crowns and seated on thrones.

Others were sitting in private jets, with clouds rushing past the window.

These are all leaders of various countries on Blue Star.

Among them, two screens are particularly mysterious.

There were no images inside, only a flowing black shadow and a cluster of burning flames.

At that moment, a deep and mysterious voice emanated from the screen where shadows were moving:

"Gentlemen, I've gathered you here to discuss the upcoming Two Worlds Leaderboard."

"As you all already know, the situation is very unfavorable for us."

"If this continues, Blue Star will undoubtedly be defeated."

"I believe it's time to launch Ark Plan."

"This requires the five major powers to hand over their Magic Cube Fragment, which must be pieced together to activate the Ark."

So, what are your opinions?

In the hall, the heads of state looked at each other, then their gazes fell on the five screens.

A moment later, on one of the screens, a middle-aged man with brown hair and a high nose bridge spoke in a deep voice.

"Golden Eagle Kingdom, agrees!"

Immediately following, on another screen, a short-haired woman in a well-tailored suit spoke in a deep voice.

France agrees.

Seeing these two speak, the other two screens also expressed their opinions in succession.

"The England agrees."

"The Earth Bear Nation agrees."

The successive statements from the four major powers brought a sigh of relief to the leaders of other small and medium-sized countries, whose faces lit up with joy.

For them, Ark Plan is a matter of global safety.

Whether this plan can be launched depends mainly on those five countries.

Now that the four major powers have agreed, there's nothing to worry about anymore.

However, at that moment...

On a screen nearby, a middle-aged man in a suit, sitting at an antique desk, spoke slowly and deliberately.

"The Heavenly Star Nation refuses."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the world leaders stared wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief.

"Li, why are you refusing? This is a plan that concerns the survival of the entire Blue Star!"

"Yes, time is of the essence; we must activate the Ark as soon as possible!"

Even the light and shadow on those two mysterious screens were constantly flickering, seemingly puzzled.

However, the middle-aged man simply said calmly, "I don't think now is the time to start the 'Ark Plan,' and none of you seem as eager as you might think."

"How could we not be anxious?" an elderly man from India exclaimed urgently. "Without the Ark, at least ninety percent of our country's more than one billion people would have perished!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Is that so?" The middle-aged man smiled faintly and countered, "Since you're in such a hurry, why have you joined forces to suppress Heavenly Star all these years?"

"Don't you know that we have one of the Magic Cube Fragment?"

"Or are you also gambling, betting that the day of the fog's encroachment won't come so soon, betting that our Heavenly Star Nation won't be able to hold out first?"

Upon hearing this question, the hall fell silent.

The expressions on the faces of the world leaders gradually shifted from their initial eagerness and confusion to a somewhat strange look.

"Li, now is not the time to bring up these old grievances."

The brown-haired man from the Golden Eagle Kingdom said in a deep voice, "The safety of billions of people worldwide rests on Ark Plan. I hope you can prioritize the greater good."

The middle-aged man from Heavenly Star Nation glanced at him and said calmly, "You've got it wrong. Now is the time to bring up these old grievances."

"I'm afraid that once the fog invades, your countries will be the first to perish, and then you won't even have a place to dredge up old grievances."

He paused, then added, "As for your point about prioritizing the overall situation, how many times over the years have you disregarded international law and targeted our Heavenly Star?"

"Since you're all disregarding the bigger picture, why should we at Heavenly Star bother with these things?"

Everyone's expression changed again.

They also knew that since the leader of Heavenly Star Nation had said all this, he had made up his mind.

A moment later, the moving black shadow asked, "Li, what will it take for you to hand over the Magic Cube Fragment?"

The middle-aged man from Heavenly Star Nation calmly stated, "My demand is simple: all the countries that have attacked Heavenly Star in the past must compensate us for all our losses in one go."

"At the same time, open up that Heavenly Palace Secret Realm overseas so we can enter."

"Including the previous Spiral Labyrinth incident, the leaders of the three major powers must admit their crimes at a press conference."

"At the same time, we apologize to the fallen Elite of Heavenly Star Nation and provide adequate compensation to their families."

Everyone in the conference room was incredulous when he presented a series of conditions.

The compensation is one thing, but getting the leaders of the three major powers to admit their crimes and issue a public apology is tantamount to trampling their national dignity into the ground.

"You're dreaming!" The brown-haired man from the Golden Eagle Kingdom stood up instantly. "Our Golden Eagle Kingdom will not agree to this!"

The leaders of Cherry Blossom Nation and Sea Blue Nation echoed, "That's right, we will never agree to these conditions; they are simply outrageous!"

"Even without your Heavenly Star Nation, we can still launch the Ark. Then, the citizens of Heavenly Star won't be able to board!"

"It's alright." The middle-aged man smiled slightly. "If you can activate the ark, then go ahead."

"Heavenly Star has already built a shelter that can last for several years, or even more than a decade, without any problem."

Even if the world merges, we can transition gradually.

"But you need to consider whether you can activate the Ark before the mist encroaches."

In the hall, the world leaders fell silent once again.

During this time, they had all heard about the 'Shelter Plan' announced by Heavenly Star Nation.

No one expected that Heavenly Star would complete such a huge project so quietly and keep it so secret.

Keep in mind, these are shelters across the entire country, and they have to meet the daily needs of so many people.

Even with the combined efforts of the entire nation, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to complete.

Including the time spent drafting the plan, surveying the terrain, and researching the fog technology, it will take at least several decades.

In other words, Heavenly Star had anticipated this situation long ago.

Thinking of this, a complex expression appeared on everyone's face.

At that moment, the flowing black shadow sighed, "Your Heavenly Star is truly farsighted."

Even though he's gone, the plans he left behind continue to benefit the entire Heavenly Star Nation.

He paused, then lowered his voice slightly. "Regarding the conditions you proposed, I have agreed to them on their behalf."

"In this matter, each country was at fault to begin with."

"Golden Eagle, Sea Swallow, Cherry Blossom Nation, and other countries, do you have any objections?"

The light and shadow on the screen stared at each other, unsure how to begin.

Even the powerful Golden Eagle Kingdom, after opening its mouth, ultimately kept silent.

The flowing black shadow waited a moment, then spoke again, "Since no one has any objections, let's proceed with the conditions stated by Heavenly Star Nation."

"We'll go prepare for the Ark's activation now, disperse..."

"Wait," the middle-aged man from Heavenly Star Nation interrupted again.

"Li... is there anything else?"

The shadowy figure asked in a low voice, seemingly tinged with displeasure.

The middle-aged man from Heavenly Star Nation remained unmoved and continued, "The conditions I just mentioned were only in response to some recent events."

"The crimes committed by various countries over the years are far more numerous than these."

"I have listed a total of 127 unresolved international cases here."

"These are all cases where we provided substantial evidence and submitted it to the International Court of Justice, but after so many years of wrangling, the cases remain unresolved."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over every screen in the room, his voice calm yet undeniably authoritative. "I don't care what your plans are, or whether you can execute them."

"When will these cases be resolved? When will Heavenly Star agree to hand over the Magic Cube Fragment?"

"These are our requirements."

In the hall, the expressions of the world leaders all changed.

Chapter 264: Opportunities for Each, Taking Turns to Care for the Lord.

The first night of the Blood Mist Frenzy ended at 8:00 AM.

On the other side, in the Red Sand World, the suns continue to scorch the land.

In that bustling ancient city located in the heart of the desert, a group of figures gathered in the council hall.

"Haha, I didn't expect this Blue Star World to be so weak. We worried for nothing."

A man wielding a flaming spear laughed loudly, "It seems Heaven has blessed Chisha this time; we're destined to win!"

Upon hearing this, the others also showed relaxed smiles.

The release of this ranking list, with its starkly disparate proportions of powerful individuals, has undoubtedly boosted morale throughout the Red Sand World.

With a score of nearly eight to two, how could you possibly lose?
