Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 212 Global Mobilization, Blue Star's Waiting (2-in-1)

The words "decisive battle" struck the hearts of everyone in the Blue Star Community headquarters conference hall like two heavy stars.

"The day has finally come."

Li Zhenguo, sitting upright to the side, murmured to himself.

His gaze swept over the nearly three hundred Star Core-level powerhouses representing the highest military strength of Blue Star below the stage, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

As the nominal supreme leader of the Blue Star Commonwealth, he considered far more than just military victory.

The continuation of civilization, the safety of the people, and any possible post-war situation. But at this moment, all concerns must give way to the most fundamental goal: survival.

Lin Yi's judgment is the direction in which civilization is progressing.

He took a slow breath, and his eyes regained their resolve.

Meanwhile, the reactions of the strong individuals offstage varied, yet they were all equally filled with fighting spirit.

The moment Lin Yi finished speaking, Chen Yu felt a surge of heat rush to his head.

Instead of showing fear, he clenched his fists and revealed a smile that was a mixture of excitement and ferocity. He growled in a low voice, "Finally, I don't have to hold back anymore! To hell with black hands and white hands, I'll cut one down if one comes, and two if two come!"

Zhou Yuxuan, on the other hand, was much calmer.

He quickly transcribed the key information from Lin Yi's words on his personal terminal: "unknown enemy," "the nest may be a smokescreen," and "take the initiative."

He was building models of possible enemies in his mind, analyzing the countermeasures they might take, and the various contingency plans that Blue Star needed to make.

Elizabeth raised her head slightly, her icy blue eyes seeming to hold the gathering of snow and wind, like a queen about to go to the battlefield.

Unlike Chen Yu, she didn't show her emotions openly, but the chill emanating from her was even more biting.

"To survive, and to witness a higher view," she murmured to herself.

The star-domain level power that Lin Yi displayed was both shocking and an endless source of motivation for her.

Andrei slammed his fist into his palm, making a dull thud that drew the attention of those around him.

"Hahaha! We should have done this a long time ago! Let those cowardly bastards see what it means to be a real man from Blue Star!"

His voice was loud and clear, carrying an America-esque arrogance and confidence that instantly infected those around him, drawing many equally bold and strong individuals to echo his sentiments.

Many more Star Core level powerhouses silently felt the surging source energy within their bodies, and through eye contact, they had already reached a silent consensus.

Fear? Perhaps.

But his love for the land beneath his feet, and Lin Yi's stabilizing presence, completely suppressed his fear, transforming it into the courage to fight to the death.

There was no lengthy mobilization, no rousing slogans.

Lin Yi's declaration is itself the strongest battle cry.

The meeting ended in a tense yet exciting atmosphere.

The order was transmitted across the globe at the speed of light.

The Blue Star Community, this massive war machine, has been fully mobilized with unprecedented efficiency.

"The abyss lies before us; retreat means destruction. We have nowhere to turn but to fight with the courage to the death for a future for civilization. From this moment forward, the Blue Star Community enters a state of highest emergency preparedness."

When the news spread, the world, after a brief period of silence, did not descend into panic and chaos, but instead exhibited a calm before a volcanic eruption.

Forty years of baptism by fire have forged fear into resilience.

In the streets and alleys, people walk silently, their eyes meeting in a resolute silence that needs no words.

The next day, at dawn.

Above the "permafrost main nest" deep in the Arctic Ocean, dark clouds gathered and the cold wind carried ice chips like countless sharp blades.

Star Core level powerhouses from different countries hovered in a safe airspace far from their lair territory, their eyes fixed on the lonely figure ahead.

There was no probing, no prelude.

As the first ray of sunlight barely pierced through the thick clouds, Lin Yi moved.

He simply took a step forward.

In the perception of all the powerful individuals, the ice field ahead, shrouded in a purplish-black vortex, seemed to have been cast into an invisible, strange force field.

Immediately afterwards, the countless abyssal beasts covering hundreds of kilometers of ice plains—whether ferocious frost behemoths, mysterious poisonous insects lurking beneath the ice, or star core-level leaders emanating terrifying auras beside the vortex—were all, in the same instant, as if wiped away by an invisible giant hand, silently transformed into the most basic particles and dissipated in the biting cold wind.

There were no screams, no explosions, and no flashes of light from the collision of energy.

Only deathly silence.

Absolute, chilling silence.

One second it was a deep abyss, the next it was an exceptionally "clean" ice field, and countless radiant crystals that had fallen like stars and covered the ice surface, reflecting a cold yet dazzling light in the dim morning light.

".!!!"

The powerful figures watching from afar, even those who were mentally prepared, were all speechless at this moment, and many even felt their souls trembling.

Is this the rule domain at the star field level?
Any tactic, any defense, any number of troops—all become meaningless in the face of such power.

"Let's move on to the next one tomorrow."

Lin Yi's calm voice came through the communicator, breaking the suffocating silence.

His figure had already turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

One day later, the main nest in the South Pacific abyss was annihilated.

The next day, the main lava nest in the Sahara Desert was annihilated.

Another day, the Siberian permafrost's main nest was annihilated.

Every day, there are strong people who follow and witness it.

Every day, the absolute power displayed by that realm of rules is reshaping their worldview, while also deeply imprinting something called "confidence" into their very bones.

Speculation about potential enemies circulated privately:

"Could the entity behind such a large number of powerful abyssal beasts also be at the Star Domain level?"

"Perhaps... some evil interstellar empire that takes pleasure in destroying civilizations?"

"It could also be a manifestation of some kind of cosmic catastrophe that we cannot understand."

"Whatever it is, with Principal Lin Yi here, we might not be without a fighting chance!"

"That's right. No matter how strong the enemy is, if they want to destroy our homeland, they'll have to step over our corpses first!"

The fear hasn't completely disappeared, but more than that, there's a resolute determination to risk everything.

Having survived the apocalypse, what else is there to fear? Even if we can't defeat the mastermind under Lin Yi's leadership, we'll still break a few of his teeth!

Final day.

At this moment, the world's war machines roared like never before. This was no longer a desperate line of defense against the apocalypse, but a true planetary barrier built upon decades of technological explosion, integrating energy technology and human wisdom.

The first system to be activated was the "Sky Screen" system, which covers major cities.

A deep rumble emanated from the massive circular base at the edge of the city, and a pale golden energy dome, flowing with a liquid metal-like luster, slowly rose and quickly closed.

Above the dome, countless intricate energy patterns appear and disappear intermittently.

Looking up from the city, the sky is tinged with a faint golden hue, as if a sacred umbrella of protection has been erected for civilization.

Immediately afterwards, the "Deep Blue Spear" orbital strategic platforms deployed in low Earth orbit de-camouflaged, revealing their massive, iceberg-like steel bodies in the night sky, with huge directed energy cannons gleaming with a cold light.

On the ground, the once cumbersome fixed defensive weapons have been replaced by highly mobile "Titan"-class land-based mobile fortresses and "Peregrine" high-speed assault platforms.

These massive war machines roared out of the base, leaving deep tracks on the ground. Their composite energy turrets and missile arrays formed a mobile death line.

Li Wei's home in Changhai City.

Holographic news is broadcasting live the spectacular scene of the global defense system being activated.

Looking at the pale golden "sky curtain" slowly rising outside the window, and the various war chariots rumbling past on the street, Li Wei felt an unprecedented shock.

"Dad, Mom, look! The 'Sky Curtain' is activated!" Li Wei pointed out the window, his voice filled with the excitement typical of young people.

Li Liming didn't look out the window; his gaze fell on the brand-new combat suit he had just received, which featured basic energy amplification patterns.

Just three days ago, he submitted his application for reserve duty, which was approved.

Li Liming reached out and silently put on the gray combat uniform, his movements slow but resolute.

Lin Wei looked at her husband, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything to dissuade him. She just stepped forward and carefully straightened his collar and smoothed the wrinkles on his shoulders. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she tried her best not to let them fall.

"must be careful."

Li Liming grasped his wife's hand, nodded vigorously, and then looked at his son, Li Wei.

“Xiao Wei, I’ve answered the call to the reserve force. My talent has reached its limit in this life; I’m only at the third level of the Stardust level, and I can’t go any higher. But my source energy and strength can still be used. I can’t protect the sky or the orbits, but at least I can help protect this street, this community, and this home!”

He patted his brand-new combat uniform, a smile appearing on his face: "I used to think that if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up, there was Commander Lin Yi, and there were those star core level powerhouses. But now I understand, civilization belongs to everyone, and war must be fought by everyone! You stay at home and take good care of your mother. Dad's out there!"

Looking at his father, Li Wei felt that his father, who was usually a bit nagging and often away on business trips, seemed incredibly tall and imposing.

At a forward tactical assembly point, the "Lynx" squad.

The five-man team had just finished a patrol and was resting next to the armor of a Peregrine assault platform.

The portable tactical screen is displaying a real-time global defense situation map and the final battlefield scene of the Amazon's main nest.

"Tsk tsk, 'Sky Curtain,' 'Deep Blue Spear,' 'Titan.' Our old home has really become an iron hedgehog now!" The monkey mumbled indistinctly while munching on high-energy rations, but his eyes gleamed.

"Shut up, conserve your energy." Old Cat hissed, his gaze sweeping over the hundreds of bright spots on the screen, ready for battle, and the countless weaker ones gathering below. He took a deep breath. "This day has finally come. Thinking back to those days when we scavenged for scraps and dodged beast tides outside the miniature nests... it feels like a dream."

Big Bear stroked the tower shield in his hand, which was engraved with intricate patterns, and a rare ferocity appeared on his usually honest face: "This time, I'll be at the forefront. Anyone who wants to disrupt our current lives will have to step over my dead body first!"

As the only late-stage Stardust level expert in the team, Nightingale remained silent, quietly checking the energy circuit of the flying blade at her waist.

But deep within those cool eyes, it seemed as if icy flames were burning.

Bamboo Pole tapped rapidly on the data panel and whispered, "All 'Titan' fortresses have entered their designated positions. The final combat sequence has been locked, and our squad has been assigned to the third emergency response echelon."

Inside a special lounge at Dongfeng Military Academy.

Zhou Jianjun and Lin Yi's parents sat together, nervously watching the live broadcast.

"The child's father, Xiao Yi."

Zhou Jinghua's voice trembled slightly.

“Don’t worry,” Mr. Lin said, his palms sweating with nervousness, but he patted his wife’s hand with a forced calm. “Our son is fighting for everyone. We must believe in him.”

Looking at the child he had watched grow up in the picture, who had now become a pillar of civilization, Zhou Jianjun was filled with emotion. He said in a deep voice, "Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry. Xiao Yi has never let us down."

After one hour.

10 o'clock exactly.

When Lin Yi's figure appeared on the global live broadcast, hovering above the main nest, the entire Blue Star, billions of hearts, felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Nearly three hundred Star Core level powerhouses, like planets orbiting a star, were scattered in the outer airspace of the main nest territory. Their powerful auras merged into one, forming an invisible deterrent circle.

Behind them stood a formation of Peregrine aircraft ready for action and a cluster of Titan fortresses as majestic as mountains.

Lin Yi stood silently in the void, facing the last main nest, and slowly raised his hand.

He is at the center, the realm of rules, descends.

Immediately, without a sound, the endless abyssal beasts within the domain melted away instantly, returning to their most basic particle state, like snowflakes thrown into a furnace of rules.

This scene was clearly presented on every screen around the world.

In Changhai City, Li Wei's family embraced tightly, the members of the Lynx Squad held their breath, and Zhou Jianjun and Lin Yi's parents clenched their fists. Countless people witnessed this miraculous power.

"Now! Yuan Neng Zhong He Brigade, move out!" As the on-site commander, Nie Chang's order was instantly transmitted across the battlefield via an encrypted network.

About half an hour later, five thousand beams of energy of different colors, like an inverted rainbow, converged on the purplish-red vortex, carrying out the final purification and neutralization.

Above the sky, three hundred Star Core level experts unleashed their full power, their powerful soul force and source energy fluctuations intertwining to form an invisible giant net, scanning every anomaly in the sky, the earth, and even space.

Their weapons were already drawn, and the power of rules was faintly visible around them, ready to deal with any enemy that came to attack.

Globally, the "Sky Canopy" system shimmered, the "Deep Blue Spear" platform's gun muzzle was finely adjusted to lock onto the target, and the engines of the "Titan" and "Peregrine" emitted a deep roar!
The entire planet Earth, like a colossal beast that has fully awakened, its muscles taut, baring all its fangs and claws, let out a silent battle cry towards the deep universe.

Lin Yi hovered in the air, nodding to himself.

His proposal of a "decisive battle" was not merely for the sake of putting on a show; he also wanted to see what extent Earth, with the full power of its civilization, could achieve.

After all, from today onwards, Blue Star will officially embark on its journey into the turbulent and unpredictable sea of ​​stars.

Soon, under the continuous impact of thousands of energy beams, the last main nest vortex suddenly shrank inward, then exploded, turning into a purple-red rain of light that completely dissipated into the humid and sultry air of the Amazon.

The last Abyss Beast's lair on Blue Star has been destroyed.

There was no celebration.

Above the sky, three hundred Star Core-level beings remained on alert, their gazes even sharper.

On the ground, all the defense systems still emitted chilling energy fluctuations.

After a brief period of commotion, the blue planet fell into a deeper, more tense silence.

It's waiting.

Waiting for the unknown enemy to come.

Waiting for the final chapter or the prelude to a new era.

　Volume One is finished. Volume Two will begin tomorrow. Soaring through the Stars?
