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's thoughts gradually returned to place.


At this moment, he finally understood what kind of situation he was truly in.


This newborn universe intends to devour the ancient universe to become more complete, to reach a more perfect state.


And that ancient universe is unwilling to collapse and perish just like that, hoping to refine this newborn universe to replenish itself, so as to revive its own vitality.


"I was introduced into this newborn universe as a 'seed' with the original purpose of using my high realm traits to learn the operational rules of 'assimilation' in this world, which are the Three Thousand Great Dao. Just like the Evil God needs to learn before degrading the Three Thousand Great Dao, the war between universes has similarities in some ways."


Gu Jinlai gazed towards the end of the starry sky.
