Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Upon hearing this, dark green blood spilled from the corner of the old prisoner's mouth.

It gazed at the ten-petaled blue lotus projected onto the blue star and sneered, "Then go and try it."

Theros said indifferently, "Order the twelve Star Chaser reconnaissance ships to immediately break away from the main fleet and enter the near-lunar orbit of the Ancestral Realm to record all weapons, powerful individuals, formations, and leyline nodes of the Ancestral Realm."

"Before the main fleet arrives, let those beings from the ancestral realm understand just how ridiculous their so-called resistance is in the face of a true interstellar civilization."

"Yes, sir!"

The Bone Wing Commander knelt on one knee.

The next moment, twelve silver-black dots on either side of the Zhezhi quickly broke away from the fleet.

The silver-gray spirit patterns on the surface of the reconnaissance ship lit up simultaneously, and the starry sky in front of it distorted like the surface of water.

Twelve reconnaissance ships crashed into the spatial ripples.

It vanished instantly.

……

Four Nine Cities.

Global Federal Emergency Meeting Room.

A giant blue planet projection hangs in the center of the conference hall.

High-ranking officials from China, the United States, the European Union, the Northern Federation, the African Psionic Community, and Southeast Asian countries all entered the meeting via projection.

Mr. Ye sat at the conference table.

Beside him were Zhou Zhenshan, Qin Zhenyuan, Lei Zhenyue, and others.

Xuanweizi and Zhang Baoyi did not leave Wudang, but their spiritual energy projections also appeared in the conference hall.

On the main screen, the trajectories of the seven main ships and 362 escort ships are still being updated.

A U.S. general spoke first: "Twelve days. This is our final preparation time. We must destroy twelve reconnaissance ships before the enemy's main fleet arrives."

The European representative frowned: "We don't even know their defense methods. Opening fire rashly could easily provoke them prematurely."

The American general said coldly, "An army carrying hundreds of warships, crossing space and heading straight for Earth, and you still think they're here for a friendly visit?"

"If we don't even dare to attack reconnaissance ships, we won't even have the right to sit at the negotiating table once their main ship arrives!"

Inside the conference hall.

Arguments erupted one after another.

Some advocate trying to communicate first, while others advocate concentrating all efforts to intercept the reconnaissance ship outside the moon.

Some believe that the alien fleet's target might be the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone, and that they should first make contact with the Azure Lotus Lord.

Zhou Zhenshan looked at the deep space trajectory sent back by Shen Xinglan.

Suddenly, the twelve silver dots representing the reconnaissance ships on the screen disappeared simultaneously.

Shen Xinglan's image appeared on the conference room's projection screen, and her expression changed drastically: "Target lost track; Tianqiong-3 and Tianqiong-7 satellites simultaneously lost lock!"

"Strong spatial fluctuations detected; location: outer perimeter of the Moon!"

boom!

The blue star projection in the center of the conference hall suddenly distorted.

Beyond the Moon.

Twelve narrow silver streaks simultaneously tore open the dark starry sky.

One after another, silver and black ships, each over a kilometer long, emerged from the ripples in space.

Twelve reconnaissance ships arrived ahead of schedule!

They stopped at different locations on the moon, neither launching weapons nor continuing to approach Earth.

The silver-gray spirit patterns on the surface of the ship kept flashing.

Invisible waves swept across the moon, Earth, space stations, communication satellites, and surface cities.

Shen Xinglan's voice was urgent: "They're scanning Blue Star—the leyline nodes, city populations, military locations, psionic bases—everything is within their scanning range. They're establishing attack coordinates!"

The conference room fell completely silent.

Everyone understood the purpose of this fleet's arrival.

There was no need to guess anymore; Zhou Zhenshan, the head of the Global Federation, glanced at the screen.

He looked at Xuanweizi and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"

Xuanweizi said, "In ancient times, I also came into contact with these alien civilizations when I was on Blue Star. Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. These beings who are not from the ancestral realm must be invading Blue Star."

Therefore, it seems we have no choice but to fight, not retreat.

The leader from South Korea spoke up: "If we attack them directly, we might anger them. Perhaps we should try negotiating?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the meeting room turned to look at him, and some of the conservatives shared his views.

They all nodded, but soon realized something was wrong, because everyone's faces were grim.

Wang Jun slammed his fist on the table, shouting angrily, "Idiot! What's the difference between this and surrendering? We've already invaded Earth; are we going to become their slaves when they're at our doorstep?"

The South Korean leader immediately fell silent.

Xuanweizi looked at Zhou Zhenshan and said, "The human race will only fight and never retreat. Let's start the plan."

Zhou Zhenshan nodded and said, "Initiate Operation Sky Spear, concentrate all global long-range forces to intercept the twelve reconnaissance ships."

"yes!"

As the order was issued.

Around the world, massive bases hidden beneath mountains, deserts, ice fields, and islands are simultaneously being opened.

Hundreds of psionic missiles were pushed into the launch silos.

In low Earth orbit.

Thirty-six space-based weapon platforms adjusted their orientation.

One after another, celestial spears made of tungsten gold, spirit iron, and high-grade beast bones rose from inside the platform.

Kunlun Psionic Base, China

The free state artillery array of the United States.

European Holy Light Orbit Platform.

The three most powerful long-range psionic weapons on Earth simultaneously completed their charging.

Governments no longer concealed the fact that twelve massive reconnaissance ships had appeared near the moon.

They can be seen with even slightly professional civilian observation equipment.

The global federation simply launched a public live stream.

This battle will determine whether Earth civilization is qualified to resist the extraterrestrial fleet.

Linjiang City: School, shopping mall, train station, square.

All the large screens switched to images of the vicinity of the moon, and countless people stopped in their tracks.

Looking at the twelve black and silver ships suspended outside the moon.

I was deeply shocked!

"Oh my god, what is that? Is it the end of the world?"

"Did you check your phone just now? There was a global news report saying that an alien civilization has invaded our planet."

"Alien civilization? That's a bit far-fetched. Like the aliens in the movies?"

"If it really is an alien invasion, is there any hope left for our Earth?"

"Don't worry, aren't we still a country? Have faith in the country. Even if things get really bad, with the Lord of the Azure Lotus taking action, these alien civilizations can be wiped out with a wave of his hand."

Some were nervous, some were fearful, and some clenched their fists, waiting for human weapons to fire.

"Operation Sky Spear, Phase One: Space-based Kinetic Strike."

"start!"

boom!

All 36 track platforms vibrated simultaneously.

Hundreds of space-based spears were launched from near-Earth orbit.

They passed through the gravitational field of Earth one after another, and with the help of the Moon's gravity, they continued to accelerate.

The runes on the spear's surface burned intensely.

Finally, it transformed into hundreds of golden streaks of light, hurtling towards the reconnaissance ship closest to Earth.

Countless people around the world looked up at the night sky.

In the live broadcast footage.

Hundreds of golden rays traversed the sea of ​​stars.

The first space-based spear is getting closer and closer to the reconnaissance ship.

One hundred kilometers, ten kilometers, one kilometer.

Just when everyone thought the spear was about to hit the ship.

Ahead of the reconnaissance ship.

Suddenly, a layer of transparent ripples spread out.

The celestial spear seemed to have fallen into an invisible deep sea, its speed decreasing more and more.

Finally, hundreds of spears all stopped around the reconnaissance ship.

The silver-gray spirit patterns on the ship's hull shimmered gently.

Hundreds of celestial spears, each powerful enough to pierce the flesh of a seventh-tier alien beast, were all decomposed into fine metallic dust.

The reconnaissance ship slowly passed through the dust.

Not a single mark was left on the surface of the ship.

In the global live broadcast room.

The constantly scrolling comments section briefly went blank.

A researcher in charge of weapons data turned pale: "All space-based kinetic weapons have failed. There appears to be an unknown spatial barrier outside the target."

In the Global Federation conference room, Zhou Zhenshan did not hesitate and ordered again: "Activate the second phase, psychic space-shattering cannon."

Kunlun Mountains.

The spiritual energy from all directions converged on a huge, silver-white cannon platform.

The entire mountain range was trembling slightly.

American deserts, European snowfields.

The other two psionic cannons were also charging at the same time.

Three seconds later, three thick beams of light burst through the sky.

Silver, crimson, and gold.

The three psychic energies intertwined, and the beam of light pierced through near-Earth orbit, heading straight for the three reconnaissance ships.

This is an attack powerful enough to severely injure a peak seventh-tier creature.

However, after the three beams of light touched the target...

They actually passed directly through the center of the reconnaissance ship.

Just as it passed through three non-existent phantoms, the reconnaissance ship remained quietly stationary.

The ship was completely undamaged. Shen Xinglan stared at the wildly fluctuating data on the screen, her breathing rapid: "No, what we're seeing isn't their actual hull!"

She quickly pulled up the space detection map.

The location of the twelve reconnaissance ships.

The real space and another layer of space are overlapping in an extremely bizarre way.

"The enemy has concealed its ship within a spatial interlayer!"

"What's currently hovering near the moon are merely their coordinate images projected onto the real world!"

"Our attacks can see them, but we can't touch them at all!"

This statement spread around the world, and countless people's expressions changed.

It can't hit; all of humanity's weapons can't even make contact with the enemy.

The US general slammed his fist on the conference table: "I don't believe they can hide in the spatial rift forever. If the energy burst is strong enough, space itself will be torn apart!"

"Initiate the third phase: a combined attack using nuclear and advanced psionic warheads!"

The order has been issued.

Thirty-two launch sites around the world simultaneously lit up with red lights.

Thirty-two missiles, each carrying a nuclear warhead of the highest yield and a high-level psionic core, soared into the sky.

Any one of these weapons, if it landed in the city, would be enough to destroy a large area of ​​the city.

Humanity never imagined that one day, all the major nuclear powers on Earth would fire their most powerful weapons at the same enemy.

Thirty-two missiles approached the moon.

Simultaneous detonation under precise calculation.
