Chapter 1634: Blue Star Under Moonlight
Once the post was sent out, it was like pouring boiling water into a sizzling wok of oil—total chaos erupted!
The International Spirit Martial Alliance, along with countries like Rice, Eagle, Fish, Rainbow, and Maple Leaf, all reposted Jiangnan's thread!
This also marked the official beginning of the Blue Moon Era for Blue Star!
The comments below went insane, everyone posting photos of the blue moon they'd taken online!
٩('口')و "So freaking cool! I broke through on the spot to celebrate! No need to say more—the counterattack is definitely gonna win!"
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Ahhh~ my eyes are all wet! At this moment, I really feel how awesome humanity is! The moon turned blue because of us!"
(≖ᴗ≖๑) "True • sky show! This isn't like when you were doodling on the moon back then! So hype? Did you even ask the moon how it feels?"
(Forced smile meme) • GIF!
Beast in Human Clothing: (՞ټ՞) "When's Boss Nan coming back? We're dying to see you!"
Obviously, this whole Lunar Ignition and blue moon hanging over Blue Star caused a massive uproar!
Countless people felt their bottlenecks loosen under the moonlight, achieving breakthroughs on their own!
Heard Blue Star and Blue Moon go perfectly together!
Some were so desperate to see the blue moon with their own eyes, but since it was daytime where they were, they actually flew over to see it!
This was a historic moment for humanity, destined to be remembered forever!
Snow Country, Blood Capital. Bai Kou stood on the balcony in a white dress, cold wind blowing.
She looked up at the blue moon, tears already blurring her eyes.
She whispered softly:
(❅ᵒ̴̶̷̥́‸ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Little Di, Yu Shen... did you both see this? We made it. You bet right. The future really is amazing!"
As she spoke, she raised her 96° Life Water high, toasting the blue moon!
"To the past! To the moonlight! Charge forward without hesitation! Cheers!"
Then she chugged straight from the bottle, gulp gulp gulp!
Abyss, Nightless City. Mi Ye looked up at the moon, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "So cool!"
Rainbow Country, Horse Island. Qian Benying stood on the rooftop in her little skirt, dancing and posing with the blue moon as her backdrop.
Liu Hua lay on the ground, rolling around with a camera, trying to find the perfect angle—the shutter was about to smoke from overuse!
(๑ớ₃ờ)ھ "Hey~ are you done yet? Hurry up! I gotta Photoshop it and post it later! Today's really important, super meaningful, you know?"
Liu Hua pouted: (◦`~´◦) "Well... I gotta take a good shot, don't I? I'm finding the angle!"
Qian Benying glared: "Which angle isn't cute on Benying-chan? Hurry up!"
Sun Island, Spirit Martial Alliance Headquarters. Freya was drunk as a dog, snoring away in her pigsty of a room.
(ૢ⁼̴̤̆﹃⁼̴̤̆)～ZZZ
Quinn sat in his office scrolling through his phone, expressionless, reading the news about the blue moon.
After a long moment, he rubbed his temples, half-reclined in his office chair, staring at the ceiling... silent.
Meanwhile, over the empty Pacific Ocean, Cooper flew at high speed!
He rammed straight into a cliff face on a deserted island!
His face pale, he knelt on the ground, his expression twisted ferociously!
"Don't you dare touch my memories! Get the hell out of my head!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a Spirit-Binding Dagger and, with a ruthless look, stabbed it toward his own temple!
But his movement was frozen in an instant. Cooper's lips curled into a smirk. He slowly stood, brushed the dust off his clothes, and adjusted his mask.
"Heh... if my true body hadn't been sucked away and locked up, how could you possibly resist me?"
"But human bodies aren't bad, tsk tsk tsk~ almost bit the dust here! That Igor's a real screw-up! I shouldn't have come in the first place! Damn it!"
"I wonder if that Wumu Clan vessel got destroyed in the blast. Tsk... what a pain!"
I need to find a way to get my true body out, or with this weak energy projection's power, I can't do anything at all!
All because of that Jiangnan!
Damn!
[From Shen's resentment value +1001!]
[From...]
At the same time, Snow Country, Polar Ice Field, Blue Ice Base.
Torus stared at the blue moon in the sky, frowning deeply. He paced back and forth in the main hall, looking extremely agitated.
The counterattack had been over for so long, and there was still no movement on his end!
With a bit of wishful thinking, Torus even suspected he hadn't been exposed and was still safe.
But just in case, he still wanted to pack up and run.
Since then, though, the colorful snail shell had never lit up, and his messages went unanswered. Now he wanted to fully defect and join the Holy Star, but he had no way.
Torus was about to go crazy!
(ꐦ⊙┏益┓⊙) "Bitch! Use me and throw me away? No wonder the plan failed! What the hell am I supposed to do now?"
Clearly, Torus had been abandoned by the Holy Star!
Just as Torus was worrying, the night over the Extreme North Ice Field was completely driven away by light!
A rumbling sound came as the entire base building collapsed, screams rising one after another!
Torus's pupils shrank!
The ceiling of the main hall was suddenly torn open. Odin, radiating blazing light, stepped out from the brilliance and sat down casually on the main throne.
He rested his cheek on his hand, looking calmly at Torus.
"I once said, if you honestly stayed as the big boss of Blue Ice, you and I could still be friends."
"But if you went to be a dog for the Holy Star, I would personally deal with you."
Torus's face went white. Facing Odin, he had no room to resist at all.
"No... it's not like that! Listen to me! My family, my kids—they were all kidnapped by the Holy Star! They threatened me with my children! I... I had no choice!"
"We're brothers! Let me off! I..."
Odin squinted: "Let you off? Who'll let off the brothers who died on the moon? You think your little mess hasn't been found out?"
"And you're still lying now? Heh... whatever. It doesn't matter. You won't live past today anyway."
"Know why I only came today? I wanted you to spend these days in fear and torment."
"Know why you have to die today? Because you don't deserve to bathe in the light of the blue moon! You're not qualified!"
Torus stumbled back, his face deathly pale, then his expression twisted as he roared at Odin!
"Why? Everyone has the right to choose! I had no way out! What's wrong with me fighting for myself?"
"Who's willing to stay mediocre forever? Stuck at Dao Heaven until death? Yeah! You became Transcendent! Easy for you to say! What about me?"
"Don't judge me with your righteous crap! Where did I go wrong? I just wanted to take one more step forward!"
Odin's expression didn't change: "Indeed. Everyone has the right to choose their path and fight for greater power. It's normal to stop at nothing for it."
"I've done it too. I once killed hundreds to snatch a Spirit Pearl. I destroyed thousands from a faction to seize resources. But it's different..."
"To be human... you need a bottom line. Once you cross that line, you don't deserve to be called human anymore."
"Have a good journey. Remember to think clearly next life."
As he spoke, intense light surrounded him, and surging golden radiance directly swallowed Torus's figure!
From within the light came Torus's roar, eventually fading away...
The judgment that was due could not be escaped.
...
Pyramid Peak, Sand Country.
Igor spread his arms, looking up at the sky. The horns on his head flickered on and off, his expression extremely grim.
He was clearly on a horn-horn call.
"Yes... yes, sir! This lowly one failed in his duty, but..."
"Hmm! Sir, rest assured. I'm not unprepared. The operation was originally supposed to launch after the No Moon Plan, delivering humanity the most fatal blow."
"Crushing their last hope, also laying the groundwork for the Star Ruins' subsequent construction."
"But under these circumstances, we can only advance it... yes, sir, you're right."
Igor could only nod continuously, his expression pained—clearly being chewed out.
"As for sending support... humanity has another Gate-Breaker, Light-type, very troublesome. Relying on just us few might be..."
"I know! I know they just went back and got investigated. Things haven't settled, and the higher-ups are checking strictly. But I don't want to give humanity any chance!"
"There's no time left! They've already lit the Origin Spark! If we repeat the mistakes of the last few times, all our work will be for nothing!"
Igor nodded continuously.
Beside him, Gabriel hugged the big white egg and clicked his tongue.
꒰ঌ(￢_￢)໒꒱ "Convenient."
After a while, Igor ended the horn-horn call and let out a long breath.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow: ꒰ঌ(๑◔～◔ิ)໒꒱ "How'd it go? Support handled?"
Igor's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿✡) "Handled. But getting identities sorted and operating takes time. Batch transfers are out of the question."
"They can only come in small groups. But once they arrive, handling an Odin will be more than enough."
"The follow-up plan isn't ready yet either. We need to hurry up. We've wasted too much time here."
"Speaking of which, I need people urgently. When can Feiyan come out?"
Gabriel's face darkened: "Wait for it. A 12-winged Angel's Nirvana—how fast do you think that is?"
Igor ground his teeth. Humanity really did light the Origin Spark.
Fine! Fine! Let them enjoy their victory illusion for a while!
They can't change anything!
...
Meanwhile, Jiangnan brought everyone to take the elevator into the moon's core to watch the excitement.
As soon as they entered the moon-core underground space, Jiangnan felt like he was about to be blinded!
He quickly handed out welding helmets for everyone to block the light, then headed to the core Lunar Ignition Array.
The area was heavily protected by God-Slaying Spell Arrays.
And the Lunar Ignition Array was in full operation.
The moon's core was now like a compressed mini-sun. Nine silver rings revolved around it, constantly absorbing the energy emitted by the core.
Below, nine concentric circular spell arrays received the energy, driving the three-hundred-kilometer-wide Origin Spark to shine with brilliant light at all times.
It had become the heart of the blue moon.
Jiangnan swallowed hard: (*▀̿ﾛ▀̿) "Holy crap! Impressive enough! How long can a piece of Origin Spark this big burn? Thousands of years?"
By then, humanity would probably have evolved to who knows what level.
Lunar Ignition had made Baldr ecstatic. He tied a cloth over his eyes to avoid being blinded, set up a tent, and decided to live there permanently.
Jiangnan was about to ask Baldr if he needed a welding helmet—he'd give him a discount.
As a Space-type, not having a welding helmet in his Alternate Dimension—that ultimate artifact against divine light—was practically a disgrace!
Just then, Yang Jian sent Jiangnan a message.
"Haven't had enough yet? You planning to live on the moon and change planets? Come with me."
Jiangnan was stunned: "Where to?"
Yang Jian's face darkened: "Back to Jingdu for a debriefing. See the Chief Commander. To take the blame for you."
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)...
