And with the arrival of this group of people, Olson, Zhang Yun, and the others, whose spirits had been numbed by the events of the day, once again widened their eyes.
This batch of life forms that had arrived was akin to several people as mighty as the devil that had destroyed the Mu Long Country Capital.
The remaining dozens, without exception, were so powerful that only the most top-notch weapons could hope to defeat them.
For a moment, the highest leader of the Star Shining Federation stationed in the Longevity World could not help but fall deep into doubt.
The Chen Domain had a significant number of the Human Clan in this devil breeding ground.
Conquering this area was one thing, but ruling it was another.
Fortunately, Gu Jinlai had the backing of the Holy Dynasty, which had many powerful individuals and had trained a large number of officials.
Further, when Gu Jinlai planned the liberation of the Longevity World, preparations had already begun on the Holy Dynasty’s side.
After the Demon Emperor in this breeding ground was killed by Gu Jinlai and the ordinary devils, Great Demons, and Demon Kings were killed by the Void Immortals, Saints, and Devas of the Holy Dynasty, a large number of previously recruited officials entered the scene to maintain order.
Since relocating so many people from the Human Clan to the Holy Dynasty would be a massive undertaking and because Gu Jinlai’s goal was to restore the entire Human Clan, not just to reclaim a certain area and hold it, there was no need for large-scale migration, and they were directly settled in these breeding grounds.
During this period, Gu Jinlai was not idle and joined the resettlement efforts to distinguish the loyal from the treacherous.
Mu Long Country Capital.
The building where the Crack Generator was located.
Gu Jinlai, Chao Jiuyin, Jin Sixian, Jin Hui, and others gathered together.
Zhou Yi also followed Blue Sky to the scene, continuously marveling as he inspected the building.
"Constructing a Star Gate, eh."
Zhou Yi remarked, "A thousand years ago, only creators could achieve such great feats, because this involves the transformation of time and space between our Longevity World... or let’s say the Material World and another world, and cultivators are not sensitive to these things. Even to this day, the newly constructed Star Gates are actually using perfectly preserved Star Gates made by creators a thousand years ago. They just recalibrated the coordinates to activate them. In other words, they are still using the original Star Gates but just relocated them."
"The Crack Generator constructed by the Demon Realm has already completed the most basic operation for building a Star Gate; our remaining workload is not much more than modifying an existing Star Gate."
Gu Jinlai said, "Now, I will leave it to you to discuss how we can quickly construct this Star Gate. Jin Sixian, you are in charge of coordinating the materials; you can apply to me for any resources that are lacking."
Jin Sixian responded.
Zhou Yi, Jin Hui, and others soon went to inspect and discuss with several Devas from the Immortal Country.
Meanwhile, Chao Jiuyin came to Gu Jinlai’s side, somewhat confused, and asked, "Palace Master, according to you, this Star Gate... should connect to Blue Star, right? The Longevity World and is hardly peaceful, with internal devils, spirits from the Demon Realm, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, and the mighty Profound Immortal Realm constantly at war; to say that the battles are incessant wouldn’t be an overstatement. If we really construct this Star Gate... I fear it might not be a good thing."
"I know what you are worried about."
Gu Jinlai glanced at her, "You don’t want Blue Star involved in the turmoil here?"
Chao Jiuyin, having her thoughts exposed by Gu Jinlai, did not deny them and nodded, "Whether it is the Longevity World or the Profound Immortal Realm, compared to them, Blue Star is so weak it’s negligible, not to mention the Demon Realm, which even the Longevity World and the Profound Immortal Realm fear. Recklessly establishing a Star Gate between the Longevity World and Blue Star is like throwing a child into a conflict among adults, where a casual punch or kick from any adult could bring fatal injuries to that child."
"Yes, the current Blue Star, compared to the Longevity World, the Profound Immortal Realm, and the Demon Realm, is as weak as a toddler learning to walk. A mere True Immortal passing by would possess the power to destroy the entire world, while each faction in the Longevity World, the Profound Immortal Realm, and the Demon Realm possesses True Immortal Battle Power in the hundreds."
Gu Jinlai continued, glancing at Chao Jiuyin, "But as a person from Blue Star, you should understand the behavioral style of various countries on Blue Star."
Chao Jiuyin furrowed her eyebrows.
"When the world projection of the Longevity World first appeared in our Blue Star’s skies, wouldn’t their curiosity and desire for control make them sit still?"
Gu Jinlai explained, "Especially since... they have already obtained enough information from the Longevity World and understand that there are cultivators there who can live to be two hundred, five hundred, or even a thousand years old."
At this, Chao Jiuyin immediately understood Gu Jinlai’s intent.
Since ancient times, it has been the lifelong pursuit of any living being.
The one emperor from Ancient Great Xia, who is treated almost like a deity, could not conquer the fear of death despite devoting his life’s efforts and the nation’s wealth to searching for the path to longevity.
If such a mythologized figure was so in his old age, what about those contemporary individuals at the top of the power structure in various countries?
If there’s even the slightest possibility, they wouldn’t give up the hope for longevity.
"Even if we could destroy this Star Gate, preventing them from contacting the Longevity World again, the desire for longevity would still drive them to continuously find ways to connect with other worlds. This time, I was lucky enough to discover it before they opened the Star Gate, promptly stopping them, preventing a major invasion of devils and demon spirits into Blue Star. But what if next time we’re too late to stop it?"
