I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Bang!!!"

"What the hell??? Two years???"

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and they all slammed their fists on the table and stood up, their faces filled with horror.

"Just two years? Lu Yun, you're not kidding, are you?"

"We've been exploring even a single fragment of the Divine Fire Continent for months and still haven't finished. Now you're saying that countless complete small worlds like that will be bordering our Blue Star in just two years???"

"That's right."

Lu Yun was very certain.

"I can also tell you definitively that the fusion between trees is irreversible. The vastness of the Divine Fire Continent is beyond our comprehension. And these countless small worlds will shatter the boundaries of Blue Star in just two years, thus merging with Blue Star."

"At that time, a great battle will be inevitable!"

"After all, no one can be sure how many small worlds have civilizations and systems. I can only be sure of one thing: some small worlds must have civilizations. It's impossible for them all to be shattered like the Divine Fire Continent."

"I now strongly suspect that the Divine Fire Continent is likely the result of a great war of fusion between outer worlds in a certain era, and that the demon race's relentless invasions are also preparations for the fusion of realms."

Everyone was stunned, standing there dumbfounded, staring at Lu Yun, completely at a loss for words.

"And there's an even more serious problem."

Lu Yun looked at Old Daoist Long with a very unpleasant expression.

"This... is merely the merging of smaller worlds..."

"Have you ever thought that a big tree is not just about leaves?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale, and their spirits collapsed.

Many bigwigs seemed to have lost consciousness, slumping back into their chairs, their faces pale as they pondered Lu Yun's words.

Yes, a big tree is not just about leaves; it also has branches, which is the outer world, the trunk, which is the inner world, and even the whole world of the tree itself.

Who can say for sure how many big trees are in a forest?

The existence of the Divine Fire Continent alone already made Blue Star feel a great threat, but such a world is just a small world.

If an alien civilization or an inner world were to arrive, what could Earth possibly do to stop it with its current strength?

Putting aside everything else, they've struggled for hundreds of years to repel even the small invading forces of the demon race. They don't need to use anything stronger; all they need is a large-scale attack from the demon race, and Earth will probably collapse.

The most terrifying thing is...

But we can get a glimpse of the power of the demon race. What about the power systems of other worlds?

Blue Star doesn't know why, but no matter how much it tries to break free, it can't escape a game system. But who can be sure that other worlds are also game systems?

If a true cultivator were to appear, they could probably annihilate the entire planet with a single slap.

This is a very serious and important issue.

The group of bigwigs were stunned for a long time before they could come to their senses.

The amount of information was simply too much for them to handle.

Especially Old Chen from Sifang City, they have more land than people, they are easy prey, if it really comes down to a fight, they are not even as good as Blue Star.

At this point, don't assume that other worlds aren't necessarily bad. Faced with abundant resources and population, and a new power structure, no civilization can resist the temptation.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

If they themselves can't resist temptation, how can they expect others to?

Are you suggesting we entrust our lives to the kindness of other worlds? What a joke.

However, just as everyone was shocked, Lu Yun raised a new, fatal question in a very serious manner.

"A single tree has more than just leaves, and a forest has countless trees."

"But have you, my esteemed ministers, considered another issue?"

"That is..."

"Who can say for sure there's only one forest?"

Upon hearing this, not only was everyone shocked, but the entire large conference room fell silent, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Everyone stood frozen in place like puppets, holding their breath, in complete silence.

Yes, a forest has countless trees, but who can be sure that there are no forests beyond it?

When the trees grow together, does that mean that there will also be forests growing together?

By then, it won't just be ten thousand races, but hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of races—it'll be impossible to count them all.

With so many people put together, what kind of war would that be?

It wasn't far off from widespread bloodshed and devastation.

The key issue is...

It's one thing to have forests, but who can say for sure that only this one place has forests? Are there countless other places where forests grow?

One thing leads to another, like a matryoshka doll, it truly seems endless.

"Blue Star is in danger..."

After a long while, Old Man Long let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair, feeling much weaker.

If he were facing a ten-nation alliance, he wouldn't even bat an eye, but faced with so many countless enemies, he truly felt powerless.

"It is indeed dangerous, but it could also be an opportunity."

"So we need to improve our strength quickly."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Lu Yun spoke again in a very serious tone.

"As the integration between trees accelerates, we will discover more and more other civilizations."

"Of course, some of them are powerful and difficult to resist, but there are also weak ones, or like those on the Divine Fire Continent. In that case, we are not without any chance."

"Furthermore, the more powerful a world is, the more powerful it is, and merging with it is not easy. So this can be considered as giving small worlds like ours an opportunity."

"If used well, it might be able to put up a fight."

This made sense, and after everyone came to their senses, they nodded in agreement.

It's true that the enemies are powerful, but not all of them are. As long as Earth gradually integrates those broken or small civilizations, the path to becoming stronger will come naturally.

Furthermore, Lu Yun has now given them the opportunity to become stronger, so the future of Blue Star is not entirely bleak.

"Therefore, esteemed elders, our Blue Star must also accelerate its pace. The integration of the world will speed up in two years, but the world will inevitably be weak at the beginning. We must make good use of these two years to improve the strength of all professionals and prepare for future survival."

"That makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Long immediately made the decision.

"Xiao Qi, convene an elders meeting in 15 minutes to prepare for the next orders."

"First, issue the Dragon Kingdom Wartime Order, put the entire country into a state of first-level alert, and recall all retired and reserve personnel."

"Second, immediately recall all members of the Dragon Kingdom who are abroad, eliminate all rare traitors within the country, and immediately repatriate those from other countries. Those who are unwilling to leave need to sign a contract with the local city lord, and clearly inform those who are abroad that the border teleportation array will be closed in three days. Those who do not return by then will have their household registration cancelled and will be ignored."

"Third, all logistical supplies are fully open to the public, and anyone can take them as needed. Inform all major forces and families to prepare for war. Give them the green light all the way. Starting immediately, internal strife is prohibited. Any case discovered will be dealt with severely and quickly. Further notice will be given. Urge all construction and civil engineering personnel across the country to build S-level shelters under major cities. Leave a small portion of all stored supplies as backup, and store the rest in the shelters. Conduct a general personnel evacuation drill once a month."

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Huanyu accepted the order with a serious expression.
