# Chapter 1541: Disconnected?
Freya was over here writing invitation letters!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Quinn's office was somewhat heavy!
Cooper glanced at Quinn, frowning slightly: "Huaxia's move already shows intent to unite the various factions, and they've even extended a helping hand to the E Country side!"
"Rescuing Baikou and the others has already broken the deadlock. After this disastrous defeat, every faction has learned their lesson!"
"Uniting against the enemy has become the general trend. At this juncture, is it appropriate for our International Spirit Martial Alliance to intervene?"
"Won't it provoke Huaxia's resentment?"
After all, the current trend toward unification among the various factions was something Huaxia had single-handedly promoted!
At this time, the International Spirit Martial Alliance convening a Blue Star Round Table Conference would inevitably seem like stealing the spotlight!
Quinn's expression remained unchanged: "Don't forget the original purpose of establishing the International Spirit Martial Alliance—to ensure the stable and peaceful development of the world amidst the changing times!"
"Although cooperation is an inevitable trend and what every nation desires, it's not that simple!"
"If Huaxia takes the lead and occupies an absolutely dominant position, there will inevitably be situations where someone must charge ahead and suffer heavy losses. No matter which side Huaxia sends, they will face criticism!"
"It might even create rifts and divisions between them, causing the entire plan and operation to collapse!"
Cooper nodded. Quinn's concerns were not unfounded—who contributes more and who contributes less will inevitably lead to imbalances!
In such a situation, no matter how the leading party directs and arranges things, they would be wrong and would be criticized. No one wants to bleed!
Quinn continued: "After all, Huaxia is not a neutral party, even if it's for a counterattack!"
"But some things, when done by them, take on a different flavor. They will be suspected, guarded against, or even spark new disputes by other nations!"
"Therefore, if this initiative is led by the International Spirit Martial Alliance, which belongs to a neutral party, there won't be so many troubles. I think this is also what every nation hopes for!"
"In this position, we should do what we ought to do, shouldn't we?"
Cooper nodded, then stood up straight and stretched vigorously: "Fine! You're in charge. As long as you know what you're doing!"
"I'll just follow your lead!"
With that, he walked toward the door. Quinn pushed up his glasses, his gaze flickering uncertainly as he watched Cooper's back!
"No matter when, no matter what happens, no matter the circumstances, you will always listen to me, won't you?"
Cooper paused mid-step but didn't turn around…
"Probably. Haven't I always been like this?"
With that, he walked out of the office!
Now only Quinn remained in the office, sitting on the chair and looking up at the ceiling!
He took a deep breath!
"Probably... will? Meaning there's also a possibility that he won't listen? Hah~"
Quinn pondered, no one knowing what he was thinking at this moment.
...
The images on Dawn Aftermath had thoroughly sounded the alarm in the hearts of Blue Star's people!
The internet was buzzing with discussions about the lunar incident. The horrors of the battlefield had been deeply etched into everyone's hearts!
Everyone was calling for a unified front against the enemy. Humanity hadn't lost completely yet; there was still a chance!
The horn of counterattack needed to be sounded!
Jiangnan had also made it very clear: the situation on the moon was not something any single faction could solve alone!
Thus, joining hands against the enemy and leveraging each other's strengths was the general trend!
Now, the situation was no longer something that could be decided solely by the high-level officials of each nation!
Even some countries that had previously planned to stay out of it and watch from a safe distance were forced to join in and prepare for unification!
After all, this was the will of the people. The pressure from all sides left them with no choice!
Jiangnan's move was absolutely brilliant!
Although a complete fusion of all factions, setting aside differences and advancing together, was still a pipe dream!
Perhaps it hadn't yet reached a state where everyone was awakened, but things were at least developing in the expected direction!
There were already signs of unified resistance against the enemy!
This was the change in the situation after breaking the deadlock!
Rising from the ashes!
And the International Spirit Martial Alliance timely released an official statement on the International Headline Network!
International Spirit Martial Alliance Official:
We sincerely invite members of the Blue Star Nations' Council of Deliberation to arrive at the Sun Islands Alliance Headquarters two days later to participate in the Blue Star Round Table Conference!
To jointly discuss lunar matters and build the future of humanity together!
@Southern God! Please be sure to attend!
As soon as this news was released, the internet erupted in excitement. The post was forwarded countless times!
"Blue Star Round Table Conference? S-sigh! This is serious! It's been years since such a big affair!"
"Probably not since the Spirit Calamity! All the bigwigs gathering at Sun Island? Wait... there seems to be one weird one mixed in! They even invited the Southern God?"
"F*cking nonsense! Without the Southern God, could this meeting even happen? He was the first to break the deadlock and extend a helping hand to the E Country! Besides, he's already a member of the Council of Deliberation!"
(° ก°)"A Diamond-rank member of the Council? The only one in the world! I'm a bit worried now—will that guy spread his vendor cloth on the conference table, jump onto it during the meeting, and start selling goods on the spot?"
As soon as this comment came out, the replies went crazy. "Prophet! Kill the prophet!" comments were spammed out by the thousands!
Whenever Jiangnan was involved, the comment section's vibe would go off the rails. People even started posting images and emojis!
Especially that picture of the Moon Maiden's smile...
At this moment, it was night. On the rooftop of a large standalone villa in the Rain Country!
Reya looked up at the moon, her head's horn flickering nonstop. She frowned deeply!
(✡･ˇ～ˇ･)"What the hell? What's going on? Can't get through? Why isn't Rui Sen answering my messages?"
Reya had been trying horn communication all night, but she simply couldn't reach Rui Sen!
She wanted to ask what exactly was happening on the moon and whether she needed to help!
Also, what was the plan for the upcoming Blue Star Round Table Conference in two days? Should the Holy Star formulate some kind of counter-strategy?
There were so many plans she wanted to ask Rui Sen about!
But dammit, she simply couldn't get through!
Frustrated, Reya charged high into the sky, switching locations several times, but still couldn't connect!
(✡•̌～•̑)"Impossible! Even across interstellar distances of several hundred light-years, it should be able to connect! Damn it!"
Had Rui Sen's number been disconnected or something?
What Reya didn't know was that she wasn't the only one unable to get through. Even Igor couldn't reach Rui Sen's horn communication anymore and was cursing like crazy!
Rui Sen had completely lost contact on the moon!
If Jiangnan were here, he would definitely understand what that "message" character his small fire jar had pulled out of Rui Sen's horn meant!
It had pulled out the communication function of Rui Sen's horn!
At this moment, Rui Sen stood at the edge of the Moon Eye with a small fire jar on his head, wearing a smug expression of Wang Yousheng's victory face!
(︶৺︶✡)
At this pace, he wasn't far from the main fire seed body!
But why had it been so quiet during this time? Even Reya, who usually never had any ideas of her own, hadn't called him?
Strange, yo~
At the same time, the Extreme-Speed Slippers worn on the twenty thousand legs that had grown from Silver Moon City had finally worn through!
Silver Moon City floated in the moonlit night, emitting a faint glimmer!
Jiangnan and his group also safely returned to Silver Moon City with Baikou and the others!
Seeing Jiangnan and the others back, Yang Jian also let out a long sigh of relief!
Just as Jiangnan returned, he saw many members of the E Country's space force, covered in injuries, gathered on Triumph Square!
They looked at their surroundings with dejected expressions!
Among them was Bigal, half-dead and wrapped in bandages, with several healing-type personnel treating his wounds...
Seeing Jiangnan return, Bigal's expression was somewhat embarrassed, but he still sighed!
(#◞´﹏`◟#)"Thank you for taking us in. Otherwise, we might have been hunted to death by those One-Eyed species!"
Jiangnan turned to look at Yang Jian!
Yang Jian: "Some came on their own; some we picked up along the way..."
Jiangnan waved his hand dismissively, looking at Bigal, Batti, Qian Benying, and the others!
"Those who want to return to Blue Star can use our Star Gate, but no causing trouble, no wandering off! Go straight back home once you're out!"
"After all, the other end of the Star Gate connects to the Tianchen Bureau located in the heart of Huaxia!"
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Being allowed to use the Star Gate was already a blessing!
Otherwise, they would have been stranded on the moon with no way back. Their homes had been destroyed; staying on the moon was useless now!
They still needed to return and formulate new strategies and policies!
This wave had truly been too devastating for every faction. If not for this glimmer of light in the moonlit night, it was uncertain whether they would even still be alive!
As they were speaking, Data Emperor Shawn flew over to outside the God-Slaying Spell Array, utterly exhausted!
He was on his knees, panting like a dog!
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍ(#´ᯅ`)ﾉ"F-finally caught up! Hoo~"
At this moment, Shawn looked at Bigal with a darkened face!
You really screwed me over!
Although your sacrificial spirit is commendable, throwing me onto the lunar orbit with that move was just too much!
Luckily, he was a telekinesis user and could fly. Otherwise, who knows where he would have ended up!
After finally landing again, he followed Bigal's instruction to find Nicole at Silver Moon City!
But all he saw was a vast sea of magma—nothing else!
Shawn thought Silver Moon City was also gone and wandered dejectedly into the moonlit night!
Then, he saw Silver Moon City with twenty thousand legs sprinting through the moonlight...
Shawn was dumbfounded for a long time before he started chasing! But he just couldn't catch up!
It was running way too fast! Only when Silver Moon City finally stopped did Shawn manage to catch up...
He was utterly exhausted!
Seeing that Shawn was still alive, Jiangnan's lips curled into a smile!
(︶.̮︶*)"I thought my Mithril Greatsword was wasted. It scared me to death. Good thing you didn't die. Remember to return it!"
Shawn's mouth twitched. Can't you let this go?
Then Yang Jian cleared his throat: "Everyone! After experiencing the Dawn Battle, I'm sure you've all come to recognize reality!"
"Uniting against the enemy is humanity's only way forward. The International Spirit Martial Alliance has just sent out invitations for the Blue Star Round Table Conference!"
"Please return and make preparations. We will discuss unification matters together then!"
Jiangnan was taken aback: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)"Blue Star Round Table Conference? What's that?"
