122: Blue Star Federation

In the large room next to Lin Yan's, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Jiang Mobai watched Xia Zhou, whose face was still a bit pale, and hesitated to speak.

After a long while.

He spoke softly.

"Brother Zhou."

"I think what that kid Lin Yan said is indeed what we must do now."

"Blue Star can no longer be allowed to continue in such chaos as before."

Xia Zhou glanced at him.

"What did you think I meant when I told you to ask for that kid's opinion first?"

"Leaving aside the situation in the starry sky he described."

"I just wanted to confirm if his thoughts and mine were aligned."

"Looking at it now, this kid's killing intent is even heavier than mine."

"Destroying the nations that deserve to be destroyed..."

"On one hand, it's to integrate Blue Star and create a deterrent; on the other, it's an opportunity to resolve historical issues."

He sat up slightly straighter, a serious expression appearing on his face.

"You handle this matter."

"Complete it within today."

Jiang Mobai paused slightly, "Understood!"

He didn't ask for the reason, because he knew Xia Zhou certainly had his own thoughts.

Sure enough.

Xia Zhou's voice followed immediately.

"That kid's current image in the hearts of the domestic people and the entire Human Race of Blue Star cannot be allowed to have any blemishes."

"Therefore, we must shoulder this kind of thing for him."

"Only then can he become the perfect leader for Blue Star moving forward."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

"Do as he said, and do it immediately."

Jiang Mobai nodded, turned, and left the room.

At that moment.

The elderly figure who had been silent the whole time spoke up.

"Speaker."

"You..."

Xia Zhou turned his head, a smile appearing on his face.

"Elder Qi."

"I know what you want to say."

"I can only tell you that those conjectures of yours do not exist in him."

"Whether he is a human of the starry sky or a human of Blue Star's Dragon Country doesn't matter."

"What matters is that he had the chance to leave, but he didn't."

"And he's putting his life on the line to protect us."

As these words fell, Qi Feng was momentarily stunned.

Soon, he lowered his head slightly, a look of shame appearing on his face.

"I was overthinking it."

Xia Zhou raised his hand slightly in a gesture.

"After all, you haven't personally experienced many of those scenes."

"So that Gu Chen you mentioned is the same."

"What we need to do is pave the way for them and keep an eye on their character."

"If they want to tell us something, we listen."

"If they aren't willing to say, we don't ask."

"After all, in the future, aren't we counting on these youngsters to take care of us in our old age?"

Qi Feng's expression faltered, and a smile appeared on his face.

This was the reason why Dragon Country could still pull through during such difficult times.

Having a good leader... "Brother Yan!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Lian Chuan looked at Lin Yan, who was slightly dazed.

"Nothing." Lin Yan looked up. "Everyone has their own secrets. As long as Gu Chen's starting point is to help Blue Star, there's no need to pry."

Lian Chuan rubbed his head, "True, anyway, as long as you're fine."

Speaking of which.

He became excited immediately.

"Brother Yan, you're too fierce!"

"Clearing the beast tide, suppressing and killing enemies from the starry sky."

"Heavens!"

"In just a few months, you've become the strongest Martial Artist on Blue Star!"

Xue Cheng's attention was instantly caught by his words, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Right, right, right."

Lin Yan smiled at the two of them.

"No one knows where the end of the Martial Dao path lies."

"Not to mention the vast, boundless Yao Race surrounding Blue Star."

"The so-called strongest on Blue Star might not even count as a speck of dust in the starry sky."

"You two better work hard."

Lian Chuan's face immediately soured.

"Got it."

"The Yao Race... I wonder when they will fully descend."

Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer.

The Spark Plan... July 1st, New Era Year 889, was a day that all humans on Blue Star would remember, a day of earth-shaking change written into the history books of Blue Star.

No matter where they were—which country, which city.

*Zzt zzt...*

A projection was forcibly pushed to everyone's communication devices at the same time.

A middle-aged man was dressed in formal attire, his expression solemn.

"Hello, everyone."

"I am the First Speaker of the Blue Star Council, Xia Zhou."

He paused, as if waiting for all of humanity on Blue Star to digest something.

The citizens of Dragon Country clenched their fists, their eyes filled with excitement.

"I think after these two sentences, you should know what is about to happen."

Xia Zhou was clearly looking at the camera in front of him, but his eyes seemed to pierce through everyone's hearts instantly.

"One month ago."

"On the second day of the Global Youth Grand Competition, the beast tide surrounded the island."

"The Great Ocean launched a surprise attack on Dragon Country."

"At the exact same moment these two events occurred."

"Enemies from the starry sky descended upon Blue Star through the exotic beast Secret Realms."

Bang—!

Xia Zhou slammed his palm onto the table in front of him, causing the citizens of many nations to tremble.

"How did the Great Ocean know our information so accurately?"

"Why did the so-called enemies from the starry sky descend at this time?"

His eyes were filled with a cold, icy chill.

"Because on our Blue Star, traitors have appeared."

"Sol, the former Second Speaker of Blue Star, and Adolf, the former Third Speaker of Blue Star."

"Two power-holders who should have protected Blue Star."

"It turns out they have long been lackeys of the starry sky enemies!"

"They personally orchestrated such an obviously premeditated, prepared, and targeted operation, instantly pushing all of Blue Star to the edge of a precipice."

At this point, many clear images were played.

"They wanted to murder the hope of our Blue Star, and even more so, they wanted to assimilate all of humanity on Blue Star into lackeys and traitors just like them!"

"At this moment!"

Everyone watched the young man in the footage fighting Du Zuo alone in the center of the isolated island.

Turning the tide at the Jiang Residence... fighting wildly against two Thrones... rushing to Magic City... Although they had watched these videos countless times over the past month, they still found it unbelievable.

Perhaps this is what they mean by 'when the sky is about to fall, a Prodigy must descend'.

From the day this young man appeared, he had been constantly creating miracles of his own.

Xia Zhou stepped aside slightly.

"He, a mere eighteen-year-old youth, stood up!"

Under the gaze of all humanity on Blue Star.

A young face wearing a black formal suit appeared in the projection.

"He is the Flame King!"

Xia Zhou's voice fell.

"Roar!"

The entire Dragon Country erupted in a thunderous roar like mountains toppling and seas surging.

"Flame King!"

The citizens of many other nations looked on with dim eyes.

They knew they couldn't stop it.

And there was no way to stop it.

Because those nations that attempted to speak out during this month had already completely disappeared in the aftermath of the "beast tide."

For instance, the small island to the northeast of Dragon Country that had completely vanished, the land to the southwest where the scent of blood still lingered, and so on. (PS: It's not that I didn't want to write about crushing the island with one foot, but I'm scared; my last book is still locked up because it was too brutal, so I'll just gloss over it.)

"He will also be!"

"The first leader of the Blue Star Federation, Lin Yan!"

Lin Yan took a deep breath.

After they had spent a month pestering him, he had finally compromised.

He faced the camera with a solemn expression.

"I announce that the Blue Star Federation is established!"

"And the supreme order is to be implemented immediately."

"The entire populace is to prepare for war!"
