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.

After acquiring the majority of the Aries Star Lord's memories, Gu Jinlai's repertoire of techniques far exceeded those of the other Heavenly Monarchs, and even the Great Sky Lords, beyond their imagination.


For fear of exposing himself to the Aries Star Lord and being refined into a Dao Mark, reduced to being his embodiment in the material world, he always dared not use it in the slightest.


He abandoned all techniques related to True Spirits and even Heavenly Masters.


So much so that he could only watch helplessly as Demon Emperor Kaya and other Spirit Venerables forcibly transformed into Devil Spirits to escape.


But at this moment, he and the Aries Star Lord were engaged in their ultimate showdown!


The outcome was either failure of the Aries Star Lord in refining him into a Dao Mark and becoming lost again, or Gu Jinlai himself being completely cleansed of the "concept" that belonged to the Aries Star Lord, erasing his self.
