247: Chapter 247 When Humanity Shines Like Stars

"Of course." Li Murou raised her chin proudly. "My dad and Commander-in-Chief Lei took action personally. Not a single one of those corrupt high-level officials connected to the Truth Cult escaped; they've all been arrested!"

"Right, how is Lin Shan?" Chen Xi remembered the iron-blooded man who had put his life on the line for everyone.

"Don't worry, Captain, he's tough as nails." Ye Fei smiled and pointed toward the adjacent ward. "With my [Revival Blessing] and the military's top-tier specialized medicine, he woke up yesterday and is already clamoring for meat. And as a blessing in disguise, surviving that high-dimensional ray caused his bloodline to mutate again. His current toughness... I doubt even Sister Xiaoxiao's lightning punishment could scratch him."

"That's good then." Chen Xi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Leaning against his pillow, he looked out at the azure sky, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds to look upon the endless sea of stars in the universe.

Although the Star Council had been completely eradicated and the projection of the High-dimensional Deity had been shattered by his desperate final strike,

he knew very well in his heart that it was merely a minor setback in the high-dimensional beings' long-term invasion plan. The true bodies of those "Deities" were still watching Earth from the depths of the distant starry sky. As long as psionic energy remained on Earth, this war of dimensions and survival would never truly end.

But so what?

Chen Xi slightly raised his right hand. A brand-new card, emitting a warm white light and engraved with the figures of the five members of the Nirvana Battle Team, was slowly taking shape at his fingertips. It was the prototype of his own ultimate Mythic Card that he had comprehended while on the brink of death—[When Humanitys Stars Shine]!

"Just wait..."

A rebellious smile tugged at the corner of Chen Xi's mouth, and an unquenchable battle intent burned in his eyes.

"You high and mighty Deities."

"The next time we meet, it won't be you descending upon Earth..."

"But our Nirvana Battle Team..."

"Storming your home base!"

Imperial Capital, the Federation's highest-level military sanatorium, Special Grade One Intensive Care Unit.

A full week had passed since that earth-shattering "God-Slaying War" that had shaken the entire dimension of Earth. The sky outside was as blue as if it had been washed, no longer filled with the suffocating haze and despair from before. The downfall of the Star Council had brought a long-awaited dawn that truly belonged to humanity back to this planet.

On the hospital bed, Chen Xi slowly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath of the air, which carried a faint medicinal fragrance, and felt the surging, boundless power within his body, like a river breaking through a dam.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

With just a gentle squeeze of his fist, his knuckles let out a dense series of pops like roasting beans. The surrounding space even produced visible black distorted ripples due to the power he subconsciously leaked.

"The strength of this body... seems to have completely broken the limits of carbon-based organisms."

Chen Xi sat up from the bed and pulled back the white sheets. Looking down, he saw that his already well-proportioned and solid muscle lines now emitted a dark gold luster, like that of a top-tier cold weapon. After enduring the dimensional erasure of the High-dimensional Deity's projection and forcibly merging the core of the Tower of Heaven with the laws of the star gate, his physical body had repeatedly teetered between destruction and rebirth. Finally, under the rule-reshaping of [Miracle: Sublimation], he had completed an unprecedented trans-dimensional evolution.

With a thought, he summoned the long-unseen translucent system panel.

[Name: Chen Xi]

[Class: Miracle Card Maker (Unique Hidden · Trans-dimensional Grade)]

[Level: Lv.100 (Mortal Shackles Broken)]

[Strength: ??? (Exceeded conventional detection limits)]

[Agility: ??? (Exceeded conventional detection limits)]

[Constitution: ??? (Exceeded conventional detection limits)]

[Spirit: ??? (Exceeded conventional detection limits)]

[Core Talents: Miracle Creation, Miracle Deduction, Card Affinity Reflection, Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea (100% High-dimensional Synchronization), Sovereign Judgment (Rule Deprivation), Miracle: Sublimation (Dimensional Leap)]

Looking at that string of glaring question marks, a wildly arrogant curve formed on Chen Xi's lips.

He knew that his current strength could no longer be measured by Earth's outdated level system. Having absorbed all the cultivation of Wu Tian, a Lv.99 peak half-god, and combined it with the world essence of the high-dimensional star gate and the Tower of Heaven, he was now only a thin veil away from the legendary "Level 100 True God" realm. Or rather, he was now the only living deity in this dimension of Earth!

"Vroom—"

Chen Xi flipped his right hand, and in his palm, a semi-finished card emerged, emitting a warm white light with five faint figures swirling within it.

This was the prototype of the ultimate Mythic Card he had comprehended before losing consciousness—[When Humanitys Stars Shine].

"It's still missing a little something..." Chen Xi stared deeply at the card, his brow furrowing slightly. "Although it incorporates the bonds and rules of the five of us in the Nirvana Battle Team, to fully activate this collective conceptual card capable of countering high-dimensional deities, it still lacks an ultimate material that can carry 'trans-dimensional laws'... It must be high-dimensional divine blood from those alien scum, or their core essence."

*Creak—*

Just as Chen Xi was secretly calculating, the heavy explosion-proof door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Three familiar figures strode in. Walking at the front was Lei Zhentian, who had just taken over as the Federation's Grand Speaker and looked majestic in his military uniform; following closely behind was Li Zhenhai, his face glowing with health, having been promoted to Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Military; and between the two was a burly giant nearly 2.3 meters tall, with muscles piled like granite, wearing a set of dark black Vibranium Armor rushed out overnight by the Military Academy of Sciences.

"Captain! You're finally all better!"

As soon as the giant entered, a simple, honest smile that looked worse than crying appeared on his cold, iron-like face. He walked quickly to the bedside and knelt heavily on one knee with a "boom," the high-grade anti-vibration floor tiles beneath him cracking into two spiderweb-like patterns.

The newcomer was the strongest shield of the Nirvana Battle Team—Lin Shan.

After enduring the dimensional strike of the high-dimensional ray, the [Indestructible Blood Core] in his body had undergone an incredible mutation. The current Lin Shan, even without activating any defensive skills, possessed enough passive physical resistance to drive any powerhouse below Lv.90 to despair.

"Get up quickly, Lin Shan. I've said before, the Nirvana Battle Team doesn't follow these kneeling rules." Chen Xi laughed and pulled Lin Shan up. He could feel that the blood energy within Lin Shan was like an active volcano about to erupt, overflowing to the extreme.
