By the coast, a hundred-meter Star Gate shimmered with flowing light.
Beyond the Star Gate, an army forged of steel stretched as far as the eye could see.
Above the Sky Dome, squadrons of fighter jets streaked across, weaving an iron curtain.
In the distant ocean, scores of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and frigates dotted the seascape, ready for action.
All cannons were aimed at the figure who emerged from the Star Gate.
"In the name of the Federation Command Center, I order you to stand down, or what awaits you is total war," said the voice.
"War?"

Gu Jinlai took a step forward, and his form swelled against the wind, in an instant growing from less than two meters tall to a colossal Chaos Demon God thousands of kilometers high, emitting the brilliance of a white dwarf star from his being, his own gravity causing thunder and lightning, as well as tsunamis and tides within a thousand-mile radius.
He looked down...
At the war weapons that seemed like toys.
He reached out, and a hydrogen bomb fell into his hand.

Within him, the electron-degenerate star core released Helium, Helium elements expanded, and the terrifying high temperature instantly caused Deuterium and Tritium, Hydrogen's isotopes, to fuse, the energy bursting forth, forming a blazing white brilliance on the ocean's surface that was like igniting a sun.
Before this sun's energy could be released, he clapped his hands together, and the dazzling white, mixed with heat in the billions of degrees, was compressed and sealed within his palms, not a fragment escaping.

"I think, you should choose peace." he suggested.

Gu Jinlai became one with his sword, like a supreme divine weapon descended from the sky, thundering down towards the Horned Dragon Demon King with unbelievable speed.


The Horned Dragon clearly sensed a life-and-death crisis. However, having just unleashed its Demon Flame and hurled three sharp horns at Lan Yuhua, it was in the throes of exhaustion. There was no time to dodge the sword light coming from the sky, and it could only roar, pushing the Demon Flame inside it to the extreme.


The Demon Flame seemed to contain a power that burned the spirit, annihilating rationality, enough to cause any Martial King who had not yet condensed the Martial Arts Will to run amok, even to the point of losing control.


By nature, Gu Jinlai was already a Heavenly Monarch.
