"Looking at the map, I basically can’t even leave the county anymore. My county is all mountains, so I’ll just have to smoke more cigarettes to pay more taxes for our Xia Country," he said.

"Waking up confused, not even knowing what the situation is now... Do you think this has anything to do with Jiang Tian? Didn’t he already enter the Pacific Ocean’s Heaven and Earth Secret Realm? Maybe it was his doing inside?"

Factories ceased production, and schools suspended classes.

Under governmental orders, everyone returned home and turned on their mobile phones to watch news broadcasts from various local hosts.

This was the situation in Xia Country, and it wasn’t much different in Freedom Country.

However, compared to the anxiety about the future visible on the faces of those in Xia Country, the president and congressmen of Freedom Country were all smiles.

Jiang Shu had crushed Mecha, wielded a Great Pill, and repelled Freedom Country’s fleet.

That day, Freedom Country had fallen completely from its pedestal, never to regain its former status.

Some nations around the world believed that Xia Country was now the strongest nation on Xuanxing.

But now, the world had changed!

A dense fog blanketed everything, preventing planes and ships from traveling. The distance between continents kept increasing. Under these circumstances, the people in the West could only stay in the West, making it very challenging to travel East.

And Xia Country would certainly have to spend a considerable amount of time on infrastructure repairs.

If they seized this time, they might be able to develop new gene technologies, Mecha, and thermal weapons, and rally the people once again.

After all, when it came to decoding Cosmic Relics, they believed they had the upper hand over Xia Country!

However strong Jiang Shu is, he still hails from Xuanxing.

How could he compare to the external civilizations capable of invading Xuanxing?

"It’s just a pity Xia Country grew too fast. If it were still the country it used to be, we’d be throwing nuclear weapons into the Pacific Ocean now. We could definitely reduce Jiang Shu to ashes," they said.

"We in Freedom Country excel at maximizing profits in changing circumstances. We’ve done it before, and we can do it now!"

"Jiang Shu is just one person, after all. Our genetics might be inferior, and our Mecha might be inferior, but what if we completely repair the cosmic warships from the Cosmic Relics? No matter how strong he is as an individual, can he compete with an invincible warship that traverses the Universe?"

"Absolutely not! The hull of this warship is much thicker and sturdier than our Mecha. Just because Jiang Shu can pierce Mecha doesn’t mean he can pierce a warship. And even if he does pierce it, so what? The warship can still operate! Not to mention, the warship’s greatest strength is not its defensive power but its offensive capability! Jiang Shu may engage in Cultivation, but he remains mere mortal flesh and blood!"

Through a series of exchanges, the confidence of the president and congressmen soared.

「At this moment.」

In the Pacific Ocean, within the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, Jiang Shu hovered in the air, somewhat absently staring at the Star Gate before him.

Within the swirling starlight, streams of information, like spiritual thoughts, flowed into his mind.

The appearance of the Star Gate is both an opportunity and a catastrophe.

The opportunity lies beyond the Star Gate, in the Star Ruins Realm.

An eternal and indestructible place within the Universe, filled with countless resources and inheritances.

Countless powerhouses from across the Universe battle and kill there, striving for the ultimate truth.

One could say the Star Ruins Realm is the cradle of the Universe’s strong, where one can truly grow!

But the catastrophe is that the opening of the Star Gate means other powerhouses from the Universe can descend from the Star Ruins Realm through this gate to Xuanxing.

This is troublesome...

He couldn’t help but frown. For myself, I still hope Xuanxing remains in a safe state, even if that means fewer resources. Safety means I have a stable rear to return to, not only when I’m tired, but I also wouldn’t have to worry too much about my parents’ safety in the Cang Mang Domain.

The plundering of resources, I had thought, could wait until Xuanxing develops its technology again, allowing travel to other planets via cosmic warships. After all, as someone in the Furnace Fire Realm, I have a lifespan of five hundred years; I have plenty of time.

But now it seems...

The appearance of the Star Gate means Xuanxing will be exposed to the sight of powerhouses from the Universe. Their spiritual consciousness can descend through the Star Gate to Xuanxing, and even a small amount of their power probably far surpasses our Six Martial Arts Realms here.

For such powerful beings, a planet like Xuanxing, which has ascended from an ordinary star to an Extraordinary Planet, possesses endless vitality, completely suitable for Refining to enhance their strength.

Some civilizations, which have risen with difficulty from ordinary planets to Extraordinary Planets, were exterminated because of this. In the eyes of these beings from the Universe, only their own Realm is eternal. The lives of ordinary people, in their eyes, are like ants to humans.

The information from the Star Gate was completely absorbed by Jiang Shu as he continually organized it. Images of civilizations being exterminated flashed through his mind, and a hint of coldness touched his thoughts.

After breaking free from the confusion of the womb, my nature was extremely cold.

But as I learned Martial Arts on Xuanxing and met more and more people, I gradually integrated into this world.

Preparing for high school exams.

Studying in academic institutions.

Fighting and killing in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

Not to mention, here, I have my parents and sister.

How can I allow these foreign enemies to invade!

It seems I must quickly enhance my strength within the True Martial Sect. I had initially planned to solidify my Cultivation in the Furnace Fire Realm a bit more, but plans cannot keep up with changes. The appearance of the Star Gate means the strength of the Furnace Fire Realm is too weak. After all, those who dominate in the Star Ruins Realm must be powerhouses at the Sitting and Forgetting level, and even at their weakest, they are on par with the Nirvana Realm.

Although, before the Star Gate fully opens, they can only send down their consciousness through spiritual thoughts to Xuanxing. But if I don’t have the strength of the Primordial Pill Realm, when facing these beings from the Universe, I might not even be able to withstand a single one of their thoughts.

What will I use to protect my parents, to protect my sister?

Only by enhancing my own power can I turn this crisis into an opportunity! The Star Ruins Realm holds some special secret places with inheritances, some of which can even influence time. Cultivating for one day there is equivalent to cultivating for ten or even a hundred days outside. If I can cultivate there, perhaps in three days I could reach the entry-level for a Divine Skill!

Once I enter the Star Ruins Realm, I will essentially possess wealth and territory! My Cultivation speed will absolutely increase by several multiples.

It’s just a pity that the information transmitted from the Star Gate is still too scarce. To unveil the mysteries of the Star Ruins Realm, I must still make the journey myself.

I’ll wait until I surpass the Primordial Pill Realm; it would be best to enter the Nirvana Realm to be safer. The opening of the Star Gate, like an arrow loosed from a bow or water already spilt, is irreversible; there’s no turning back.

Sitting cross-legged, Jiang Shu gazed into the swirling starlight vortex, which seemed to emanate endless vastness. He did not hurry to leave the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

He decided to temporarily stand guard here until Xia Country came to take over.

Time passed. Jiang Shu, oblivious to the major upheavals and the chaotic mess unfolding outside, gradually immersed himself in Cultivation.

The Star Gate has not yet fully opened; even beings from the Universe cannot descend in their true forms.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will cover it. That’s all there is to facing spiritual thoughts.

As long as I possess sufficient strength, there is nothing to fear.

He used all the materials in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm for Refining Puppets. After toiling day after day, he finally succeeded in Refining his first Spirit Rank Puppet.

The Divine Skill, Heavenly Mechanism Puppet Technique.

Formal Cultivation begins!

Once I reach the entry-level, I will command twelve Divine Skills. Among the Outer Disciples, I will also be one of the best.

With undivided attention, Jiang Shu continued his unceasing Cultivation.

「Meanwhile, on a planet far, far away.」

An earth-shaking aura erupted as a figure emerged from seclusion.

It stood thirty meters tall, its body covered in blood-red skin, with four huge, fleshy wings folded behind its back.

Atop its head was a large, fierce horn.

It looked towards the planet’s Star Gate. A new light was shining brilliantly there—an azure-blue planet.

It couldn’t help but nod.

"Another Extraordinary Planet is born. I wonder how much extraordinary energy it holds."

"Hah, pathetic ants, are you ready to welcome your god?"

"Kneel before me, worship me, offer yourselves... to empower me."
