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.

When Gu Jinlai first sent the message to Yu Xu, Yu Xu couldn't believe his luck.


However, as he repeated it over and over, with unequivocal conviction, and considered Jiang Yujian's advice, along with his worries that Gu Jinlai might have fallen into the hands of Red Cloud Sect, he decided to return to Baihe City, intent on rescuing him no matter what.


All the way there, he was prepared to die.


So, when he charged into Baihe City using sword control, he immediately let out a long howl, "If Red Cloud Sect dares harm a Creation Gate Daoist by even a fraction, my Creation Gate will never rest until we have our vengeance ..."


Before his eyes appeared Gu Jinlai, directing Return to Void and Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators to organize Red Cloud Sect assets, expeditiously repairing and taking control of the Grotto Heaven.


As for Red Cloud Sect, there was no sign of their Strongest True Immortals, let alone their elders or protectors—all gone without a trace.
