Chapter 697: Chapter 646 Influence_2

To create a war mecha that surpasses the current technology by an era is bound to leave clues; if they followed this line of thought and continued to investigate, they would certainly find some leads.

President Edward, his face ashen, did not stop the spokesperson from various countries from leaving.

He also ended the video conference.

The Star Shining Federation, with the destruction of the Star Spirit Platform, had its position as the hegemon seriously challenged.

Yet, he dared not make any more harsh statements.

Even the Torch Missiles launched from the Freedom Platform had failed to stop that mecha!

Satellite imagery clearly captured it seemingly tearing through the flames of a nuclear explosion, forging a path out...

This scene had shocked everyone in the command room to the core of their spirits.

No one had imagined that this mecha-like thing could possess combat power to such an extent.

So much so that now, as he ordered the full-force repairs of the shattered Star Spirit Platform, he could only roar at Minister of Defense Karis, "Search! Search! Find out where this mecha comes from! Advanced technology like this must only be in the hands of our Star Shining Federation!"

"Yes!"

Karis responded promptly to the command.

Clearly, there was much to be done next.

And it was not only the major countries that were shocked by the destruction of the Star Spirit Platform but even the non-Blue Star members.

The Daoli Spirit Venerable.

"The Star Spirit Platform has actually been destroyed!?"

This Spirit Venerable was also using its channels to stay updated on the events concerning the Star Spirit Platform promptly.

It received the news almost immediately after those top families from the superpowers.

Unlike others who had no clues, the Daoli Spirit Venerable’s eyes widened: "The war weapon that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform... why does it look so familiar!?"

War Spiritual Artifact!

In the Longevity World, the Qiantian, was that human Heavenly Monarch named Gu Jinlai who forged the War Spiritual Artifact!?

Upon arriving on Blue Star, it had suspicions that the human Heavenly Monarch named Gu Jinlai must have a relationship with this world and even...

Looking at the world projection above, clearly from the Longevity World, it had already guessed something.

The two worlds were overlapping.

In this process, some with exceptional spiritual talent could entirely enter that world through a fortuitous coincidence.

Gu Jinlai...

was one of the outstanding ones.

And now...

"He’s returned!?"

The Daoli Spirit Venerable couldn’t help but remember the fear of being dominated by the Cheng Ying Mecha during their two defeats in Qiantian.

"I must quickly convey this message to Lord Qian Yan, Lord Xuan Yang, and Lady Hong Ying," said the Daoli Spirit Venerable, fearful and ruminating on the humiliation of the disgraceful escapes, with a glint of hatred flashing in its eyes: "If this world is closely related to that human, then when he truly returns to this world and sees that all beings have been devoured by our Spirit Clan, he will surely feel the pain of wanting to die."

It glanced at the destroyed Star Spirit Platform.

Although the Star Spirit Platform was in ruins, the Star Shining Federation had a backup constructed in secret in case of emergency.

They must find a way to use the Crack Generator once again to open a space crack.

When that happens, it won’t be just a few of them leading the pack; tens of thousands of Demon Spirits will enter this world to stage a massive festivity.

"Heavenly Monarch Gu Jinlai? I, the Daoli Spirit Venerable, shall be the ultimate victor!"

...

The Qiao Family.

The scope of the Qiao Family’s influence might not seem significant on a national level in the Central Earth Kingdom, but locally, it held considerable sway.

Particularly after Qiao Ningyun was selected for the True Immortal Research Institute and became one of the fastest to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Qiao Family’s stature in the Central Earth Kingdom rose significantly.

Benefiting from her expanded network at the True Immortal Research Institute, the Qiao Family had now become one of the top 500 enterprises nationwide, certainly stronger than the Shanhai Group controlled by a few joint families like the Xie Family.

At this moment, several of the Qiao Family’s key figures gathered in a multimedia conference room, softly murmuring among themselves while quietly waiting for something.

After more than half an hour had passed, none of the Qiao Family’s key figures, including the Qiao Family Patriarch Qiao Shian and the Grandmaster Qiao Baining, showed any impatience.

Finally...

The large screen flickered, and Qiao Ningyun’s delicate and pretty face appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Seeing Qiao Ningyun, Qiao Shian asked eagerly, "What exactly is the True Immortal Research Institute’s stance on the South Heavenly Gate project team? Will they raise its status or suppress it? And that Xie Yusheng, if the weight of the South Heavenly Gate project team increases, is there a possibility that his position could be replaced?"

"I made a special inquiry, but the information I received is not accurate. Initially, the higher-ups wanted to play both ends against the middle between Immortal Sui Mu and that mysterious being who claims to be from Qian Star but likely belongs to the Longevity World, to obtain as much benefit as possible for us, but... I don’t know if it’s our ambiguous approach that has dissatisfied Immortal Sui Mu and the Qian Star people, or for some other reason, Immortal Sui Mu has disappeared, and the Qian Star people have also significantly reduced contact with us," said Qiao Ningyun, frowning slightly: "The situation is now somewhat uncontrollable."

"Alas, I knew it wouldn’t be easy for the True Immortal Research Institute to play both ends against the middle. People from the Longevity World are not fools; they wouldn’t be so easily used," sighed Qiao Shian.
