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, with the aid of the Clear Light State, was understanding the words in Immortal Sui Mu's memory, word by word, sentence by sentence.


These texts spoke of a similar attack that the Profound Immortal Realm had suffered ten thousand years ago.


An Evil God invaded, devouring heaven and earth, causing all things to collapse.


Then, all immortals took action, shattering the Evil God and returning myriads of spirits to the world.


What he obtained was not the complete memory of Immortal Sui Mu but could only deduce, from the limited memory and Clear Light, that the Profound Immortal Realm had encountered a great disaster ten thousand years ago.


And since then, the environment of the Profound Immortal Realm began to deteriorate rapidly.


The characteristic of the deterioration was that spirituality became scarce and thin.


So much so that ordinary people needed to rely on a "Spirit Root" to practice cultivation.
