After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

With a flash of light from the teleportation array, the five people appeared in the side hall of the Deer Terrace.

There were already people waiting at the entrance of the side hall. A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit quickly came forward and said, "Minister Lin, please come with me. The chief is already waiting for you."

Lin Chu followed him through several corridors and into a conference room.

Lu Qingyuan, Lu Chenghong, Xu Su, Qin Su, Cheng Yuan and other acquaintances were all present, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not relaxed.

"Minister Lin is here." Lu Qingyuan looked up.

"Chief." Lin Chu sat down opposite him, while the other women stood silently behind him.

"You already know the situation," Lu Qingyuan said bluntly. "We're preparing to take a private jet to the Federal Building. This meeting is of utmost importance. The situation in the United States of Bharata is worse than what's reported in the news. From the air, that city looks completely red."

"Just give me the coordinates," Lin Chu nodded. "I'll fly there directly."

Lu Qingyuan nodded and asked Lu Chenghong to send the coordinates to Lin Chu's phone.

"You go first, we'll follow later." Lu Qingyuan stood up, patted Lin Chu on the shoulder, and said, "Be careful."

Lin Chu nodded and led the women out of the conference room to the outside of Lutai.

I glanced down at the coordinates on my phone.

The center of the Pacific Ocean.

With a sway of his body, five streaks of light shot into the sky.

As the crowd below, preparing to board, watched the streaks of light flash and disappear, Qin Su murmured, "No matter how many times I see it, it's still breathtaking."

Xu Su stood on the gangway, squinting at the few streaks of light that had turned into specks of light, and shook his head: "I've lived for over fifty years, and the worldviews I've had in the last three months have been overturned more than the first half of my life combined."

……

In less than half an hour, the group had approached the coordinates.

Soon a small black dot appeared on the distant horizon.

From a distance, the entire island was shrouded in a pale golden light, the surface of which was covered with dense runes and emitted gentle spiritual energy fluctuations.

The Sect Protection Formation.

Lin Chu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Its grade is not low; it's at least at the level of a combined entity.

The spiritual energy has only been restored for a little over three months, yet the Federation has already acquired a defensive formation of this level. It seems I underestimated the resources of various nations.

The five people fell.

They were discovered the moment their feet touched the ground.

Several armored vehicles roared in from the other end of the runway, followed by two squads of fully armed soldiers.

The car door opened, and several young men dressed in Xia Dynasty officer uniforms ran over quickly. At the front was a middle-aged man with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder.

He ran up to Lin Chu, stood at attention, and saluted crisply: "Minister Lin! I am Chen Rui, the director of the Xia Dynasty's resident liaison office at the Federal Building. I have received your advance notice. Please follow me!"

Lin Chu glanced at him. This lieutenant colonel was only in his thirties or forties, with sharp eyes, an upright posture, and faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body.

Late stage of foundation building.

Lin Chu nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

Chen Rui stepped aside to lead the way, and Lin Chu led the group of women behind him, crossing the helipad and heading towards the center of the island.

Lin Chu's gaze never stopped on him the whole way.

The island is not large, and its main road is as smooth as an airport runway, lined with neatly trimmed tropical trees, with a watchtower every fifty meters.

The passing soldiers were wearing uniforms from different countries.

The further you go, the denser the buildings become.

A magnificent circular building stands in the very center of the island.

The entire building is silver-white, and the exterior walls seem to be some kind of alloy, shimmering with a pale golden halo in the sunlight.

"Minister Lin, this way please."

Chen Rui led the group into the lobby on the first floor of the building, where Lin Chu subtly glanced around.

The hall was extremely spacious, with a ceiling height of tens of meters. A huge blue star projection was embedded in the dome, and the weather cloud map and spiritual energy concentration distribution could be seen in real time as the light and shadow flowed.

There were faces from all over the world: white, black, Middle Eastern, East Asian, with all sorts of skin colors and uniforms, but without exception they were all monks or awakened beings.

They are likely bodyguards and entourages brought by high-ranking officials from various countries.

Just as Lin Chu was marveling at how quickly the world was changing, a mixed-race young man walked over.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with deep-set features and fair skin, but his eyes were dark brown, clearly indicating his Eastern ancestry.

The spiritual energy emanating from his body clearly indicated that he was at the Nascent Soul stage.

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Chu's eyes.

Three months later, the Nascent Soul stage.

It has only been a short time since the spiritual energy of Blue Star was restored, yet it has managed to forcibly create a Nascent Soul.

Cang Yao and Ruo Shui exchanged a glance, clearly also sensing that something was wrong.

Even Caiwei's expression shifted slightly.

Even with exceptional talent, reaching the Golden Core stage in three months can be explained by consuming numerous rare and precious herbs and overdrawing one's potential.

However, the Nascent Soul stage is a real hurdle that requires a long period of accumulation and an understanding of one's own world; three months simply doesn't make sense.

The young man also showed surprise the moment he saw Lin Chu.

He had studied Lin Chu's killing video countless times and made numerous predictions about the man's strength, but now that they were standing face to face, he realized that the young man's aura was as deep as an ocean, and he couldn't even sense its boundaries.

It was a crushing defeat on a completely different level.

The young man concealed his shock, extended his hand, and said in fluent Chinese, "Minister Lin, I've heard so much about you. I am Joseph, the new Army Commander of the United States of America, my Chinese name is Wang Yan. My mother is from Great Xia."

His attitude was frank and open, without any deliberate enthusiasm or arrogance.

Lin Chu had a good first impression of this person, and extended her hand to shake his: "Lin Chu, nice to meet you."

Joseph glanced casually at the four women behind Lin Chu.

A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, nodding respectfully to the women as a greeting.

The national conditions of the United States of Hui and the Great Xia are different, so it would be impolite to look any further. He was still mindful of his words in this regard.

"Minister Lin, standing before you, I truly dare not even entertain the thought of taking action."

He paused, then sighed, "I thought I was strong enough, but now I realize the true value of the saying 'There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.'"

Lin Chu smiled.

This guy has a straightforward personality.

"Everyone has their own opportunities, and you are already one of the strongest I have ever seen."

Joseph scratched the back of his head and chuckled twice.

The two chatted as they walked. Joseph had a cool, mixed-race face, but he was a chatterbox. It seemed difficult for him to shut up.

Before long, he revealed most of his secrets.

The reason he has reached this point is not only due to his exceptional talent, but also mainly because he stumbled upon a ruin and unexpectedly gained some opportunities that others could only dream of.

Lin Chu understood; this made sense.

In the past two months, many relics that had been dormant for countless years have resurfaced on Earth with the revival of spiritual energy, scattered all over the world. It is not surprising that some people have gained opportunities from them.

Lin Chu responded casually as she continued walking forward.

At this moment, a guide quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Lin Chu: "Minister Lin, the representatives from various countries have taken their places one after another. Please follow me."
