180: God stick, airspace
Li Wenhao smiled and nodded at the young man in front of him, "Bai Yu, it's been a few days, and you and Desolate Spirit Mask are getting more and more in sync. I almost didn't even see through that illusion."
The masked young man, called Bai Yu, scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around, and took a seat in the audience.
Li Wenhao looked at the blonde, blue-eyed man beside him again,
"Mr. Charles, two wins out of three, it seems your delegation's intention to proselytize cannot be realized."
The blonde, blue-eyed man, and the several young people behind him with equally deep-set eyes, all looked a bit displeased.
"Wenhao Li, our Lord's prophecy States that a catastrophe is coming, and only the glory of God can save the world.
Your actions will plunge the hundreds of millions of people in Huaguo into an abyss. I believe the populace should at least have the right to choose for themselves."
A hint of disgust flashed in Li Wenhao's eyes,
"That is an internal matter for my Huaguo. Why do my Huaguo people need saving by an external god? No, it's not even certain whether what you worship is a true God or just a Beast Master's beast.
Our cultural philosophies are different, so let's not force communication."
Hearing Li Wenhao's words, Charles and the dozen or so Western faces behind him all showed expressions of anger.
Angel-Type Beasts appeared one after another beside them.
Judgment Angel, Guardian Angel, Holy Light Angel...
For a moment, Luo Chen was dazzled. Were there really so many Types of angel Beasts?
Facing the appearing angels, Li Wenhao narrowed his eyes. Behind him, besides the Mechanical Armor, there was also a mechanical monster resembling a battleship that covered the entire venue's ceiling.
Luo Chen glanced at this thing, and his vision was completely filled with its information.
race: Sky Domain Battleship

Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.
Abah abah, this long string of information made Luo Chen feel a bit numb.
Could it be that, without his knowledge, Huaguo was already capable of space travel?
However, given Third Senior Brother's identity, even if a Breeder saw his Beast's information, no one would dare to widely spread it online.
Not only did Li Wenhao summon his Beast, glaring menacingly at Charles and the others opposite.
The even more numerous Huaguo Beast Masters also summoned one or two Beasts, all seemingly of the Desolate Beast Rank.
From Luo Chen's direction, he could just see the masked young man named Bai Yu, whose eyes revealed eagerness and excitement.
It was clear he greatly anticipated Charles and the others making the first move.
Just as both sides were at loggerheads, a majestic voice rang out.
"Stop."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a square, national-character face who suddenly appeared above the venue.
Also appearing beside him was an elderly white man with blond hair and gray eyes.
Luo Chen recognized the identity of the square-faced man at a glance.
Fang Chengan, one of Huaguo's current six State Elders, primarily responsible for Huaguo's diplomacy, including with other countries and Beast Master secret realms.
Fang Chengan surveyed the entire scene, then a square seal appeared in his hand. A layer of soft light burst forth from the seal,
and all the Beasts around the other Beast Masters, except for Li Wenhao, were forcibly sent back to their respective Beast Master spaces.
Li Wenhao looked at the reactions of the others, shrugged, and silently recalled his two Beasts as well.
The oppressive, destructive aura disappeared, and the venue returned to its calm and clear State.
Seeing that the standoff had been suppressed, Fang Chengan then turned to face the blonde elder beside him,
"Mr. Vihas, Huaguo will not agree to the matter of proselytizing. As for joining forces, sharing information, and preparing for the disaster in your so-called prophecy, that can be discussed in detail."
Vihas looked regretful, "We should guide everyone to the bright path, but there are always lost lambs who need to experience some hardships before they can know the preciousness of our Lord's protection.
Let's have a talk when the disaster arrives. I believe you will change your mind then, Mr. Chengan."
Hearing these cryptic words, Fang Chengan's expression did not change in the slightest,
"Alright, I look forward to the day I change my mind, Mr. Vihas."
Vihas prayed devoutly, "The Lord has given us wings to fly, so that we may leave the defiled earth beneath our feet. We shall eventually go to His kingdom..."
With the devout prayer, holy wings appeared behind him and all the Western faces near the rostrum.
Then these people, arranged in echelons according to differences in status, flew away from above the venue towards the distance.
Along the way, their devout prayers could still be heard, and they scattered holy feathers and holy light that had a certain spiritual soothing effect.
"Hiss, charlatan," Bai Yu muttered softly.
Perhaps his voice was too low, making it impossible to distinguish whether he said, "Hiss, charlatan" or "Damn charlatan."
In any case, from his attitude, it was certainly not anything good.
Fang Chengan's figure flickered, and he had already landed on the rostrum.
"You little fellows did well," a smile appeared on Fang Chengan's square face, and his entire demeanor instantly became amiable.
Bai Yu raised his hand, attracting Fang Chengan's attention,
"Elder Fang, what is that old man talking about, that 'disaster' thing?"
Fang Chengan's expression paused slightly. He glanced around, then fixed his gaze on Luo Chen, who was not far from the rostrum, and said with some doubt:
"Who is this young friend?"
The other young people, following Fang Chengan's gaze, also noticed Luo Chen, who was hiding in the corner eating melon, and looked at each other in confusion, wondering why a stranger was here.
"He is my master's new disciple, named Luo Chen. I brought him here," Li Wenhao's firm words instantly quieted the scene.
"Your master has taken another disciple?" Fang Chengan's tone was also very surprised, as if Zhuang Sheng taking a disciple was some earth-shattering event.
Li Wenhao nodded, "Yes, my junior brother just arrived in the capital yesterday. I brought him today to introduce him to some friends, in case someone offends my junior brother in the future."
Fang Chengan remembered Zhuang Sheng's protective behavior and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. If someone truly offended or bullied his disciple, wouldn't he go knocking on their door?
Thinking this way, it was good to let others get to know him in advance, and with Li Wenhao as a clear witness, no one would doubt the authenticity of his identity.
"Your master taking a disciple is a big deal. When will the disciple acceptance ceremony be held to announce it to the world?"
