Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. Who was the Terminator to say something like this?
He knew Skyfire Avenue wouldn't allow Jun 'er to see him, that's why he said that.
But with his status in the Northern Alliance, why would he go to Skyfire Avenue to see Jun Er?
Wasn't he afraid they'd do something to harm him?
This kind of spirit was worthy of being a famous existence second only to his father.
The Terminator's eyes darted to a spot behind Lan Jue.
Lan Qing had already risen to his feet. He smiled and nodded.
The Terminator smiled. "Another wave. From the looks of it, you've already stabilized your cultivation.
What a young hero. "
Lan Qing nodded. "Your Majesty has reached the threshold of the next level. Congratulations."
The Terminator's eyes flashed. His cultivation was higher than Lan Qing's, and he'd been a Reflection of Heaven and Earth for many years. How could he not be surprised that Lan Qing could see through his cultivation?
"If there's a chance, we can spar." The Terminator returned to his normal self with a smile.
Lan Qing said indifferently, "That is my wish."
The Western Alliance general sat in the second row below the VIP platform. Qiu Xiaochen was beside him, quietly reporting what she'd just seen.
The Western Alliance general's expression was strange, especially as he watched the Terminator greet Lan Jue and Lan Jue. He couldn't help but sigh to himself. The world was changing!
This generation of youngsters was amazing.
He was the Eastern Alliance's God of War. And the young man who looked like him, the one who'd just attacked, was sitting in the first row representing Skyfire Avenue.
Unbeknownst to the world, the Eastern Alliance's position in the human world was quietly rising.
From the moment the aliens appeared until now, at least until now, the East's decisions had been correct.
They were the first to get their hands on the vital crystals, then began their exuvium research. Then came the Eastern Alliance's latest intelligence on the aliens.
The Reproduction Auction, as well as the reconnaissance mission during the Northern Alliance War.
Of course, more importantly, Skyfire Avenue's strength continued to rise.
In terms of Adepts, there was no question that the Eastern Alliance had the upper hand. Word had it that Jueti, one of the ten Paragons, had come out of seclusion.
Jueti alone was no less than a Bastion ship.
Perhaps even more so.
What about his own side?
The Western Alliance had fallen far, far behind in terms of Adepts. The Pontiff's Citadel had been embroiled in a scandal not too long ago. Although the government had tried to suppress the rumors, as a high-ranking military official, the Pontiff knew a thing or two about it.
The West's two Citadels had always thought they could rival Skyfire Avenue, and were no less powerful than the Avenue.
But now, it seemed like it was nothing more than a fool's dream.
The Pontiff's Citadel and the Dark Citadel would never be united.
Even if they were united, there would only be two Paragons.
Skyfire Avenue had more Paragons than all of their ninth level Adepts combined.
In such a situation, the level of ability users could no longer be compared.
Recent research had shown that Adepts were more effective against aliens. This was still in the process of being tested, but if it was true, the Eastern Alliance's position would rise again.
Skyfire Avenue would rise to a new level of importance.
Lan Jue was Skyfire Avenue's Vice Chairman, and he wasn't even a Paragon. The fact that he'd been given a seat in the front row was proof enough that his suspicions were true.
"General." Qiu Xiaochen's voice snapped the Western Alliance general out of his reverie.
"Yes." He sighed.
Qiu Xiaochen's eyes were filled with curiosity. "General, why do you think they're so strong at such a young age?
Is it because they're talented? "
The Western Alliance general smirked. "In this world, no one has ever succeeded easily. Not now, and never will.
You only see the glamorous side of them. You don't see the hard work they put in behind the scenes. "
Qiu Xiaochen wasn't convinced. "But I've always worked hard!
Why is it that I'm so much weaker than them? "
She was a ninth level Adept, a rare rank in the military. But she was only ninth level first rank. Compared to Lan Jue and Lan Qing, the gap was vast.
"I can't answer that question," the Western Alliance general said. "If you have the ability, you can try to get close to them and ask.
Only they can answer for themselves. "
At this time, the number of people in the venue was increasing.
The rostrum was soon filled with people.
There were eight seats in the first row. Other than the one occupied by Lan Jue, the other seven seats were occupied by the three Major League Chairmen and the General of the Armed Forces.
There was one seat occupied by someone else, which was beyond Lan Jue's expectations.
"You've improved again. When are you going to break through?" A handsome, almost perfect smile appeared on his face.
Even though Lan Jue was very familiar with him, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed every time she saw him. She even thought to herself that if this guy were a woman, he would be a beauty that could bring disaster to a country.
The familiar person sitting in the first row was none other than Neptune Huali.
Huali and Lan Jue were seated in the first row. He came later.
Even though he was the outermost person in the first row, it was enough to prove his status.
On Lan Jue's left was the Northern Alliance Chairman, and on her right was the Northern Alliance General of the Armed Forces.
This arrangement made him feel somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.
The Eastern Alliance Chairman and the General of the Armed Forces sat on the other side.
This was decided by strength. This had always been the case in meetings of this level.
The Terminators sat in the second row, further away from Lan Qing.
Lan Qing represented the Armed Forces, while the Terminators represented the Major League.
The conference room was brightly lit and the seats were slowly filling up.
For a time, the room was filled with stars. Those who could attend were the leaders of the three Major League Militaries, most of them from the Northern Alliance.
The atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn as more and more people gathered.
Everyone was able to keep their cool.
The threat the aliens posed to the human world was like a boulder weighing down on everyone's hearts.
"Clap clap!"
The Northern Alliance Chairman was an old man with an imposing aura. He wore a black suit that accentuated his solemn temperament.
He slammed the gavel in front of him twice, the sound echoing throughout the room.
Suddenly, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the rostrum.
The VIP podium was a dazzling sight to behold. It was none other than Huali and Lan Jue.
Compared to the other six, they were really too young, and their appearances were so outstanding.
Lan Jue wasn't as handsome as Huali, but after absorbing the immortal qi from the thunder essence, his entire demeanor had changed.
Aside from his elegance, there was an ethereal quality to her. Even if you looked closely you couldn't see her clearly.
Lan Jue had seen all kinds of spectacles. Although he was the center of attention, he sat there calmly.
His mind was occupied with Hua Li's situation.
The fact that Huali was here, in the first row, meant one thing. The Hanhai Group was far more powerful than he'd imagined.
Lan Jue had heard that the Hanhai Group had reclaimed control of their bastion ship and renamed it Neptune. It was now responsible for protecting Neptune.
Every member of the Hanhai Group, Huali's family, and their private soldiers were all on Neptune.
He looked like he was going to fight the Marauders alone.
It was as if they weren't afraid of the alien home worlds appearing.
Without a doubt, the Hanhai Group had proven their strength. That was why Huali was sitting in such an important position.
Once this meeting was over, he would have to have a good chat with him.
This guy was hiding a lot of things!
"First of all, on behalf of the Northern Alliance, I would like to welcome you all to today's meeting."
The Northern Alliance Chairman's voice was low, but clear enough for everyone to hear.
"I'm sure you all know why we're holding this meeting.
The survival of the human race!
That's the name of this meeting.
As far as I can remember, there has never been a meeting with such a serious title.
But we, we used it.
Yes, the survival of the human race is at stake. "
"I trust you've all seen the video of the battle between the Northern Alliance's three bastions and five fleets against the alien home worlds.
We've sent you all the information we've gathered.
The aliens are far more terrifying than we'd imagined.
We've lost this battle, but it wasn't an unjust defeat.
To be honest, I'm not surprised that we were able to do this without knowing anything about our opponents. "
"The Northern Alliance has been under a great deal of pressure lately. The pressure comes from all sides, from within the military, from the Senate, and most of all from the people.
But today, on behalf of the Senate, I'm here to speak for you.
You've done well. You haven't failed, you're not losers. "
