# Chapter 1514: The Highly Anticipated Dawn
Jiangnan snapped back from his excitement and froze.
Holy crap? What was the side effect of this thing again?
He had already used three Small Fire Jars, and yet he was still perfectly fine!
Could it be that this thing had no side effects at all?
Wait!
The "can't stop pulling" and "pulling out huge red swollen bumps" were already considered side effects from using it!
The problem was, this thing was meant for pulling on others, so the side effects would only appear on the people it was used on?
He didn't have to take responsibility?
Jiangnan was overjoyed. Then why the hell was he still afraid?
The previous consolation prizes were almost all used on himself, so the side effects also affected him!
But the Small Fire Jar was an attack-type item meant for others from the get-go!
So strictly speaking, he wasn't the user!
Ah, how nice~
As long as he didn't pull it on himself, the side effects wouldn't land on him!
Was "can't stop pulling" also meant this way?
Who named the Small Fire Jar? Absolutely brilliant!
Now Jiangnan couldn't wait to try pulling it on the One-Eyed Species. He wondered what effect it would have!
The only issue was that the Small Fire Jar was still a new consolation prize!
It couldn't be bought with resentment value in the system shop like the Twin Lollipops!
The only way to get it was through the lucky ten-consecutive draw costing 100,000 each time!
He still had over two million resentment value left, but even if he spent it all, he wouldn't get that many!
Although it might work wonders against the One-Eyed Species, this thing was a one-time use item. Once used, it shattered!
There was obviously no way to equip a force of over 100,000 with them in large quantities!
He had to use them sparingly, or maybe save them for dealing with the commander-level ones?
Having made up his mind, Jiangnan immediately went to prepare. He needed to get more Small Fire Jars!
...
Meanwhile, at the Moon's far side, Tongcheng in the Kira Crater!
The Tongcheng that had been mostly destroyed by Jiangnan's explosion that created a giant crater had long been repaired. In fact, the central palace complex was even grander than before!
Even the entire city's layout was about a third larger than before!
In the main hall!
Rui Sen spread his arms, and the single horn on his forehead emitted a faint, oscillating glassy light!
Endless Bose particles flowed out from the higher-dimensional space and were absorbed by Rui Sen!
His jelly-like body was extremely solid, even emitting a faint blue glow!
(✡︶‸︶) "Yes! Lord Igor! I will obey the sacred command!"
Below, the One-Eyed King Yego and his Queen Hai Se Wei were both kneeling on the ground, watching the light emitted by Rui Sen, their minds filled with fear!
Rui Sen's mouth curled into a slight smile.
(✡‾᷄～‾᷅) "The matter at the Sacred Law Council is almost settled, with Igor's superior stepping in!"
"Before his return, we need to do things properly and give him a good account!"
"How is the excavation of the Moon Eye progressing? Has the main body been found?"
Yego shuddered: (٥ Eye) "Two mining machines have been doing their best to dig. But the lunar rock deep inside the moon is extremely hard due to high pressure, so progress isn't what it used to be!"
"However, based on the density of the Origin Spark fragments' distribution, we shouldn't be far from digging up the main body!"
Rui Sen nodded: "The far side is about to enter night, so the Moon Eye excavation progress will also slow down considerably!"
"Don't waste too many miners there. Pull them out to join the battle, and send lower-level miners to dig instead!"
"At the same time, to prevent the humans from cutting off our retreat, you go guard the Moon Eye and don't let any humans approach!"
"Have your wife guard Tongcheng. The rest of you, follow me to push through and eradicate the humans on the moon, driving them back to Lan Xing. Understood?"
Yego was stunned: "You... you want to send that many people to fight?"
Rui Sen narrowed his eyes: "Humans are a very unique race! Though lowly, they are opportunists! Don't give them any chance, not even a tiny one!"
"Only extreme darkness and the deepest despair can crush them!"
"I want them to understand that in this game, they never had the qualification to play against our Holy Star from the very beginning!"
"Don't question my decision, lowly slave species! Don't forget your place!"
Yego's eyes were filled with fear: (‧̣̥̇ Fear) "Yes! Holy Envoy!"
Rui Sen stepped out of the main hall and looked at the lunar horizon, where only a sliver of the sun's edge remained!
Everything around was being swallowed by darkness!
"Order the One-Eyed Army to assemble at the Dawn Line. Push forward against the rising sun! Extinguish these seven sparks with the force of a splitting bamboo!"
"Sparks trying to start a prairie fire? Hah, humans don't have what it takes!"
"Yes! I'll do it immediately!"
...
At the same time, the people on Lan Xing were also excited and stirred up by a website that had been made public!
On campus, on the streets, outside the Ling Xu, discussions could be heard everywhere!
"Did you see that? Hua Xia's move was too ruthless. The authorities directly released the satellite footage from the Lunar Network Heavenly Eye! And there's even a dedicated cameraman following!"
"What? No way? Shouldn't this be classified? Where? Send me the link!"
"Damn! It's actually watchable, and you can switch between different satellite feeds? Absolutely incredible! Holy crap? So many discussion threads? How many people are watching?"
"No kidding! The One-Eyed Species on the moon are digging up the moon. If they break it, we're finished. This is a big deal concerning the future of all humanity!"
The discussions grew more heated. Even professional war experts and civilian military strategists came out to analyze the battle situation!
"Satellite footage shows the One-Eyed Army has started assembling! I estimate that once the lunar dawn arrives, they'll start the war with the seven stationed nations on the moon. Just thinking about it gets me pumped!"
"Hahaha! Popcorn and little roasted chicken are ready. 27 minutes and 43 seconds until the dawn battle. So excited, ah!"
"The ones who can get to the moon are all top-tier big shots! Boss Nan is up there too. You could say almost all of humanity's heavy hitters are up there! Plus the elite troops from various countries!"
"What's there to watch? It's a sure win, alright? Just think with your toes. If they weren't absolutely certain, would Hua Xia have released the satellite footage? Relax!"
The website had no traffic restrictions. People from all factions could watch!
At this moment, in the Pioneer Academy!
Many students had gathered in the multimedia classroom, watching the big screen footage!
On the website, the background showed a lonely moon. Sunlight was spilling over, and dawn was approaching!
Above the website, four large characters written with iron hooks and silver strokes — "After the Dawn" — were extremely eye-catching!
There were 15 satellite feeds on the website that could be switched at any time, but there were 16 feeds total!
The last one was David's camera feed. At that moment, it was frantically moving!
The classroom was filled with a lighthearted atmosphere. Students were still discussing how long the battle would last and how they would win!
And how Boss Nan on the moon would show off!
As the countdown decreased, the atmosphere grew more and more heated!
However, many elderly men and women from the nursing home sat on the window sills, quietly watching the footage. There wasn't a trace of a smile on their faces...
Xiao Chuihuo sat at the back of the classroom in his wheelchair, unsmiling!
Zhao Dezhu's expression was dark: "Are we really going to let the students watch this? I'm not too optimistic about this battle..."
Xiao Chuihuo said hoarsely: "Let them watch! A bunch of greenhorn kids who don't know the world. It's time they woke up!"
"They have no idea what war really is! Behind those two words are endless blood and fire!"
"Win or lose, war has never been something to look forward to! Especially a war of this scale!"
Even though the students of the Pioneer Academy had undergone enough training, they had ultimately grown up in a time of peace!
They had never witnessed the Spirit Calamity chaos, never experienced a true great battle!
And if they hadn't experienced it, they would never understand!
The situation had developed to this point. The Holy Star's actions were getting bigger and bigger. Xiao Chuihuo understood that the real chaotic times had quietly arrived!
Change or die!
Xiao Chuihuo knew Yang Jian's personality well. Releasing information before the fight even started was not something Yang Jian would do!
And it wasn't Hua Xia's style of doing things!
But now they had done it anyway. There must be another purpose!
This wasn't a shot in the arm; it was meant to make people see reality!
Xiao Chuihuo smiled bitterly: "The people in the Silver Moon City are already prepared to lose, aren't they..."
Zhao Dezhu's eyes were fixed on the countdown, his heart heavy!
It wasn't just the Pioneer Academy. Major military bases were also paying attention!
At the Jingdu Dragon Abyss Base, Mountain Cat watched the footage, her palms sweating. She held them to her chest and silently recited a prayer for safety!
At the Atlantic Gold Island!
Pang Badi sat on a stool, smoking a cigar without a word!
Behind him were Omega Alpha and Hai Tang, along with other top brass. They were all watching the satellite footage on the projector!
At the Pacific Abyss Nightless City Lighthouse!
Mi Ye held a tablet, frowning deeply, her expression solemn as she also watched "After the Dawn"!
The blood in the goblet on the table had gone cold, and she even forgot to drink it...
At the Arctic Ocean Satan Island, Light Society underground base!
Odin sat at the conference table, his hands propping up his chin. His golden eyes never left the satellite footage!
-`(͡°ʃƪ͡°)´-
He didn't reveal a single shred of aura. You couldn't even see his level!
In the base, Magician, Lan Bo, Fen Bo, Victoria Andrei, and other top members of the Light Society were all gathered together!
It had been a long time since the Light Society had held such a large meeting, and the attendance was never this complete!
Magician couldn't help asking: "Boss! Is this really necessary to watch? Hua Xia released the satellite footage. That's obviously them showing off their strength, right?"
"Besides, Jiang... Jiangnan is on the moon. The One-Eyed Species shouldn't be a big concern, right?"
Odin said coldly: "You think the Holy Star pulled off such a huge operation just to play house with humanity? 'Shouldn't be a concern'? Then why did they bring the One-Eyed Species here?"
"Hua Xia is not the kind of country that just shows off randomly. Releasing satellite footage must have another purpose!"
"The development of the situation often exceeds expectations. The direction and outcome of this war will determine the future development and strategy formulation of our Light Society!"
"Although the Light Society is a personal organization, not a national entity, we have come this far by riding the world's wind! Even though we are not a righteous army, we must do what needs to be done!"
"After the Dawn, huh? Interesting..."
