Chapter 463: Chapter 531: The Response of Various Nations to the Celestial Race

Huaqi, Seven-Angled Tower.

Political leaders, military chiefs, and heads of the Six Departments of the Upper Secretariat have begun a meeting in the Internal Defense Department.

The large screen displays a replay from the official media of East Sakura, showing the scene from the Imperial Palace where meat sacrifices defeated the Three-headed Hellhound.

At the same time, East Sakura announced their ambition to dominate the world.

The secretary lightly touched the earbud of his headphone and looked at the Minister of General Affairs of the Internal Defense Department, saying:

"Gentlemen, there is new information now."

The secretary picked up the remote control and executed a command to the projector.

The projector’s screen changed to a live stream from the official East Sakura channel on the TT short video platform.

In the live stream was an elderly man from East Sakura, who was over fifty.

He is the Prime Minister of East Sakura and is announcing to the world that East Sakura has become the head of all nations, revered by nations all around.

"Arrogant!"

The military leader angrily slammed the table:

"Have they forgotten the lesson we taught them before?"

The political representative pondered and asked:

"If faced with a Celestial invasion, how much chance do we stand?"

The military leader fell silent.

When South Korea was obliterated, Xia Country Security Administration shared the intel on the Celestial Race.

South Korea was destroyed by the Celestial Race in a single day, and the military leader lacked confidence in defeating them.

Especially after hearing that all electronic devices failed upon the Celestial Race’s arrival, leaving only mechanical and physical weapons available.

The strange fish of South Korea, like high-tech armored tanks able to swim through the sky — without electronic technology, was there really a chance for victory?

Unless two Truth Weapons are launched before the Celestial Race arrives.

The problem arises again, those weapons would cause vast destruction at home, and may not even kill those entities.

The Minister of General Affairs of the Internal Defense Department — Netran sighed:

"I oversee the matter of Spiritual Energy Revival; I know well what the Celestial Race signifies.

If we face direct conflict with the Celestial Race, we stand no chance."

The leader of the Six Departments of the Upper Secretariat frowned and said:

"What should we do? We can’t simply surrender to East Sakura or turn a blind eye, can we?"

Everyone understood that East Sakura making such claims signaled their intention to wage war on the world.

East Sakura might not possess overwhelming military power, but they have the backing of the Celestial Race!

The Celestial Race has torn a hole in human society on Blue Star; East Sakura, the native inhabitants of Blue Star, could direct them wherever they wish.

The Celestial Race is intent on invading this world and waging war; wherever they fight, they fight.

The political representative hesitantly said:

"Should we cooperate with East Sakura?

Collaborating with East Sakura is akin to collaborating with the Celestial Race, right?

Perhaps this is an opportunity for Huaqi to become great again."

The military leader glared at the political representative:

"Huaqi’s greatness has never been built on submission!"

The political representative laughed bitterly, spreading his hands:

"Don’t you see the problem?

If this occurred usually, you’d be discussing how to sanction East Sakura.

Now, you’re considering whether we can handle it if East Sakura attacks us.

Admit it; we stand no chance."

The military leader was too angry to speak.

He implicitly acknowledged the political representative’s words.

Everyone turned their gaze towards the Minister of General Affairs of the Internal Defense Department, Netran.

They believed Netran, responsible for the Spiritual Energy Revival, might have good suggestions.

Netran remained silent.

Where would he get suggestions?

The Spiritual Energy Revival in Huaqi was still recent; he hadn’t fully understood it, let alone formulate strategies against a group of Extraordinary Celestial Creatures.

"Perhaps we should seek help from the Seven Commandments Association?"

The head of the Six Departments timidly suggested.

The Internal Defense Department viewed the Seven Commandments Association, with its numerous followers, as a thorn in their side, resenting its influence that rivaled the government and fearing the Fallen Angel possessed by the Association.

At that moment, someone entered the conference room.

Everyone was shocked.

This matter was heavily guarded; it was impossible for someone to walk in so casually as if strolling through a backyard garden.

The military leader confronted the newcomer cautiously:

"How did you get in here?"

Netran glanced at the newcomer in amazement:

"It’s you?"

The newcomer was a commanding blonde man named Jin.

Since being humiliated at the Desire Trade Auction in Xia Country, Jin had faded from the scene for some time.

Xia Country had issued a cooperative investigation order against Huaqi, and Jin had been internationally wanted by Xia Country.

Jin nonchalantly sat down, looking at the content on the large screen, with a trace of disdain on his face:

"People kept like farm animals by creatures should vie for world dominion?"

Netran’s eyes lit up:

"Mr. Jin must have devised a strategy; is that why he’s visiting?"

As he spoke, Netran introduced Jin to those present who hadn’t met him before.

Everyone looked at Jin with eyes filled with expectation.

Jin smiled slightly and said:

"My god has already taken action!"

At this moment, the secretary suddenly frowned, pointing at the projection screen:

"Gentlemen, I believe you should see this; there’s a new situation!"

...

Xia Country, Security Administration.

Cao Yi sat in his office, the computer in front of him playing East Sakura’s official live stream.

Secretary Zhou Ziyi frowned:

"What is TT Headquarters thinking, streaming such content!"

Cao Yi said:

"TT is in the business of making money; if there’s business, there’s no reason not to do it.

Besides, they wish to avoid displeasing either side; who knows which side the future belongs to."

Zhou Ziyi asked:

"Should we hold a meeting?

East Sakura submitting to the Celestial Race is quite a big deal."

Cao Yi shook his head:

"Let’s no longer hold meetings; what I say will be the decision after the meeting.

We can’t waste all our time on discussions."

Cao Yi planned to make the Security Administration a one-man decision-making center.

There would certainly be dissatisfaction, but Cao Yi didn’t care.

Cao Yi spoke:

"South Korea’s obliteration, how did the public react?"

Zhou Ziyi replied:

"Panic, the populace is very afraid.

Should we... block the news of East Sakura’s betrayal?"

The authorities had done this sort of thing many times before.

In certain severe moments, the upper echelons blocked shocking news to prevent public panic.

Xia Country, as a mother figure, cautiously protected her children.

Even though her children did not live very comfortably.

In truth, Xia Country, as a mother, endured great pressure and was not comfortable herself.

Cao Yi poured himself a cup of tea and said:

"Let it out; let the people of Xia Country see the East Sakura people’s livestream.

A war beyond control will occur in the future; the populace has the right to know.

They also have to look out for their families."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the office.

Zhou Ziyi walked out and took a report from a person.

Zhou Ziyi placed the report on Cao Yi’s desk.

Cao Yi opened it and glanced at it, his brows furrowing deeply.

The document showed that Zhu Country, Yue Nan Country, England, and the Netherlands had already sent friendly signals to East Sakura.

These nations had a lower level of Spiritual Energy Revival and were among the quickest to become affiliated with East Sakura.

Cao Yi couldn’t help but mock:

"The war hasn’t even started, and some have already surrendered."

Zhou Ziyi pondered for a moment and said in a low tone:

"Many wish to surrender but lack the opportunity to do so.

Now their chance has come.

Nobody wants to be the next South Korea."

Cao Yi casually tossed the report on the ground and picked up a pack of cigarettes, then suddenly paused.

The computer screen’s live stream had ceased to be the East Sakura broadcast.

A hacking method forcibly interrupted East Sakura’s live stream, replacing it with an entirely new live broadcast.

The broadcast resembled a cathedral, with a statue of the Death God at its center.
