Chapter 740: Chapter 663: Blue Star Federation

Aside from Edward, the conference room also housed Jonas, Robert, Karis, and other significant figures from the Star Shining Federation.

There were over a dozen of them.

These dozen or so individuals essentially represented the entire Star Shining Federation.

The Apocalypse Project Team had been established for over five years. To secure re-election, Edward had to ally with more partners. Although this meant sharing the benefits from the Longevity World, it was still better than ending up with nothing at all.

However, upon hearing what Edward had said, the expressions of everyone in the room were extremely grave.

"War?"

"Yes, war,"

Edward said solemnly, "After years of operations in the Longevity World by Adren and his team, we’ve finally mastered all of the intelligence regarding that world. That world... Although it harbors various Treasures that, when combined with cultivation, could allow us to live two, three, five hundred years, or even stay in the world for a millennium, it is also home to extremely powerful life forms, some of which have reached the ultimate limit our civilization can contend with."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the Minister of Defense, Karis.

The woman, who appeared to be in her early forties, quickly had her assistant spread out a document: "You are already clear about the data we’ve acquired over the years from the Longevity World, as well as the hierarchy of cultivators in that world, ranging from Body Refinement equivalent to that of a Strong Knight to Earthly True Immortals who have lived a thousand years. These can be divided into over a dozen Ranks. We don’t need to concern ourselves with life forms below Devas. Our soldiers, armed with heavy weapons, can shoot them down. Even Devas, Saints, we have means to counter them."

As she spoke, two more documents were projected onto the virtual instrument.

"The key is this life form called Earthly True Immortal... also known as Void Immortal, and those that stand at the very top of the Longevity World, which is the ultimate goal for all of us—the terrifying existence of True Immortals!"

This document was clearly painstakingly put together by a large team of workers, and even within the conference room, the projections appeared immensely vast.

"First off, the Earthly True Immortals, they cultivate a unique existence called Sacred Body. This special existence is formed by refining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into their bodies, making themselves a state between physical matter and Energy Form. In terms of height, they can reach twenty meters, with some exceptional ones at thirty meters. Their weight is around a hundred tons, and they also possess a maximum moving speed of Mach 6."

Karis explained personally.

"Twenty to thirty meters... that’s the height of seven to eight stories... over a hundred tons in weight, maximum speed of six times the speed of sound..."

The individuals in the room who stood out from the brutal political strife had common sense to spare.

Even if they lacked anything, assistants and staff members were on hand to explain promptly.

Thus, they understood very well what kind of terrifying destruction such a monster could unleash on the battlefield.

"We might just as well ignore Earthly True Immortals, but what’s key is that terrifying existence called True Immortals."

Karis took a deep breath, "These are the data sorted out and sent over before Adren’s station was destroyed. The True Immortal that attacked their station stood at an astonishing height of forty-two meters! According to the standards of our Star Shining Federation’s standard floors, that’s equivalent to a thirteen-story building. Standing on the ground, he was taller than the tower of our most advanced Jette-class aircraft carrier! His physique is strong enough to withstand the shooting of M245 type heavy artillery... "

She went through each point, and as each piece of data was stated, the pupils of the bigwigs in the room widened.

"The scariest part is his speed..."

Karis rolled out a wealth of data: "This is data obtained at the cost of thousands of elite soldiers’ lives, showing that the average speed of that True Immortal is nine times the speed of sound, but his maximum burst speed has reached sixteen times the speed of sound!"

Having finished, she paused for a moment: "This is a speed absolutely unattainable by all conventional weapons."

"Sixteen times the speed of sound!? Faster than the Mecha that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform not long ago!?"

"Humans can actually become so powerful!?"

"With such terrifying life forms, saying they could live a thousand years, I absolutely believe it. To some extent, they are no longer simply human, but another type of life form, one they call themselves Immortal, what we should refer to as a divine life form!"

"Such a powerful form of life... truly captivating!"

A wave of discussion rippled through the conference room.

While all were profoundly shaken by the power of the True Immortals, they also felt a thrill and excitement coursing through their bodies.

Because...

This could very well be the power they too could wield in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our team has made a rough estimate of the Longevity World’s social environment based on the social structure of the Mu Long Country there... Considering the productivity, medical conditions, food restrictions, and other factors of the Longevity World’s beings, the population number of the Longevity World is estimated to be between one hundred and eighty to one hundred ninety billion."

Karis continued her introduction.

One hundred eighty to one hundred ninety billion.

The number exceeded the Blue Star by seventy to eighty percent.

"Based on the Primitive Mu Long Country with an initial population of thirty million that boasts a Saint, and add to that the Beast God Alliance, a superpower with a population of six hundred million that possesses a True Immortal, we can assume that the Beast God Alliance is roughly equivalent to the scale of the most powerful forces on our Blue Star. This is good news, but it’s also bad news. The good news is, we’ve made contact with the ceiling of the Longevity World’s social structure. The bad news is, like the True Immortals, such terrifying life forms, there might be a few, or even more than ten of them."

"This data coincides with the conclusions reached by our Apocalypse Project Team."

Lao Keren made his presence felt with a chime-in.

"This life entity may be even more terrifying than the war weapon that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform not long ago. So far, the Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and supersonic missiles that can counter that war mecha have not yet completed their modifications. To go into war again with a civilization that possesses such a fearsome life form..."

A prominent figure’s face bore a trace of worry.

"Therefore, we must be prepared for the possibility of a war mobilization at any time to deal with the threat of this new enemy, and that’s the purpose of this meeting,"

Edward took over the speaking rights of the meeting, "Originally, the Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicle could achieve six times the speed of sound. With the new materials from the Longevity World, its maximum speed has reached ten times the speed of sound, but it results in decreased agility. Moreover, ten times the speed of sound is barely enough to deal with that war weapon, but still insufficient against the Earthly True Immortal."

He directly projected a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle on the projector: "The all-new Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicle can reach up to sixteen times the speed of sound, and it needs to be equipped with a more advanced operating system that will allow it to dodge conventional interceptions like a bird, and carry out saturation suicide attacks!"

Sixteen times the speed of sound?

And it needs to be that agile?

This...

Is this something that the Star Shining Federation’s technology can achieve?

Seeing everyone’s doubts, Edward immediately said, "Therefore, we need to gain the support of top technologies from our allies! For example, the unmanned aerial vehicle technology of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, the explosive engine technology from the Sunset Country..."

As he spoke, it seemed he remembered something, "Oh, the telepathy equipment from the Sky Brilliance Country could also be useful. The Apocalypse Project Team has developed a device that can track the ’True Qi’ energy inside cultivators, named the Sky Mirror Project. We need to use some of their technology, but we can just send someone to get it..."

"Explosive engines? These technologies can indeed significantly increase the speed of our unmanned vehicles and missiles..."

The head of an armaments company mused.

"It’s not just a significant increase. We’ve designed a new type of missile, named ’Falling Star.’ If it can adopt new materials and the new explosive engine technology, its speed will be like that of a space-based missile—faster than twenty-five times the speed of sound!"

Edward said, summarizing, "We need to ally with all the nations we can, to complete the research on these two technologies, ensuring we can have a significant advantage against the war mecha that destroyed the Star Spirit Platform not long ago, and against the Earthly True Immortal.

"Ally with the Flame Dragon Kingdom and the Sunset Empire?"

Robert, Jonas, and others nodded in approval of the proposal.

"Our few nations, to some extent, already represent the entirety of the Blue Star. If that’s not enough, we’ll pull in more to cheer for us. Therefore, I propose that led by our Star Shining Federation, we invite the Flame Dragon Kingdom, Sunset Empire, and other nations that excel in various technological fields to join us. Together we will form the Blue Star Federation! This will help us face the increasingly severe situation of the Longevity World,"

Edward announced the ultimate objective of the meeting with a loud voice.

His words quickly began to be discussed among the big shots in the room and their staff teams.

After several minutes passed, Jonas, Robert, and others felt it was time to speak up, "I agree."

"The strength of the Longevity World exceeded expectations. We indeed need new allies. I support the formation of the Blue Star Federation."

"For the sake of operating the Mu Long Country base in the Longevity World, we have invested a great deal of manpower and resources. Now it has been brutally destroyed by the barbaric forces of the Longevity World. Their actions are inhumane, a severe provocation to our Star Shining Federation, to our Blue Star Race. We must unite and make them pay for their deeds! I also agree with President Edward’s suggestion!"

"Wherever our flag stands, there lies the soil of the Star Shining Federation! Destroying Mu Long Country means declaring war on us! Although they seem stronger than us now, the glory of our Star Shining Federation shall not be desecrated by any petty force! I agree to unite all the forces we can, to complete the development of the Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and the ’Falling Star’ nuclear missile. If they want war, we will give them war!"

The other bigwigs in the room also spoke up one after another, all with righteous expressions.

The Longevity World!

Changsheng!

The temptation is just too great!

Although the might displayed by the Earthly True Immortal posed a great threat, the Star Shining Federation had already found a solution.

The Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicle!

The ’Falling Star’ nuclear missile!

The Sky Mirror Project!

Forewarned is forearmed.

The mysterious veil of the Longevity World has been completely lifted by them now.

The Earthly True Immortal?

With the strength of the Star Shining Federation and the support of those dozen-plus alliances, the nation’s might will soon complement these war weapons.

By then, what can the Earthly True Immortal do!?

The Longevity World will truly become the backyard of their federation.

Some of the older individuals were already impatient for the day to come.
