NOVEL NEXT Chapter 675: Buzhou Grand Festival
Just like that, the last ten days passed in intense military exercises.
Human scouts, along with the Insect Race distributed in the Ruins of Buzhou, after careful statistics, discovered that there were over fifty civilizations conducting large-scale military exercises!
More than three hundred civilizations conducted small-scale exercises!
This situation truly lifted everyone's spirits!
"Civilizations of the Ninth Epoch don't seem to lack ambition after all!"
Lu Yuan was eager to contact these civilizations but was stopped by Old Cat.
"Success comes from secrecy, failure from divulging."
Old Cat said earnestly, "Politics is something that cannot be spoken too clearly. Whether there are any spies here is uncertain; rashly contacting them will not earn their trust."
"Civilizations truly determined to resist have long been ready for war, just like us humans; internal mobilization has long been prepared."
"Civilizations lacking the will to resist won't change their decisions because of your words."
Lu Yuan gently exhaled, "That's the truth."
...
...
As the exercises ended, the Ruins of Buzhou returned to calm, yet each civilization could feel a faint murderous intent permeating the air.
Humans tried every means to ascertain the ancient races' reaction.
Unexpectedly, the ancient races still endured, making no moves whatsoever.
What they sought was tremendous, enduring all provocations, merely persistently dispatching ships to convey the impending fact of the "Buzhou Grand Festival."
[To combat Epoch Disaster, the Five Great Races will convene at Buzhou Peak to form an alliance.]
[Space tunnels within the alliance, completely at your disposal.]
[May all civilizations send representatives to attend this meeting!]
[Abstainers will automatically be regarded as relinquishing all alliance power!]
The meeting location, situated at the core of Buzhou Peak—the Sky Pillar!
The so-called "Sky Pillar" wasn't a giant pillar but a flat-topped mountain towering ten thousand meters high.
The soil here was vividly red, abundant with Mandala flowers, vying for splendor, exceedingly rare; Lu Yuan had only seen such flowers near the Snake-man Palace, and was unexpectedly witnessing them here again.
Life and death might be a philosophical theme Pangu Continent can never avoid...
History is merely another cycle of Reincarnation.
Yet there are always those who wish to escape Reincarnation, surpass cyclical laws!
"Report to the commander, our fleet is just 10 kilometers away from the Sky Pillar; ahead is the no-fly zone! Awaiting orders!"
A thin red light screen covered the flat mountain of ten thousand meters height.
"Stop advancing! Find a cover area and attempt landing."
The fleet slowed down; through glass windows, one could see the majestic mountain, this flat-topped mountain was enormous, like a giant standing ten thousand meters tall on Earth.
Completely milky white, as if carved from a single piece of White Jade.
Meteorites hovered in mid-air, silver waterfalls suspended, vapor billowing, arches of rainbows grand and magnificent rendering the world as if a celestial paradise.
The "Kunlun Mountain" fleet found a large meteorite to dock on, releasing drones to scout the surrounding trends.
Across the mountains and plains, fleets of alien civilizations swarmed from all around like bees.
"A congregation of Ten Thousand Races, no more than this." Lu Yuan had just entertained this thought when he couldn't help but chastise himself, nourishing the morale of others and diminishing his own prestige.
Some civilizations, unwilling to instigate conflict, only dispatched some ordinary ships.
Other civilizations dispatched combat units.
As the sun gradually approached noon, the Kunlun Mountain fleet completed its stationing.
"Let's go, we depart." Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and walked into an "X-level" power armor.
The translators behind him likewise donned smaller X-level power armor.
The number of soldiers deployed this time wasn't many, roughly 50, all piloting "combat-level Giant Divine Soldiers."
X-level power armor is humanoid, about 3 meters tall, weighing around 1 ton.
While large combat Giant Divine Soldiers don't need to be humanoid; several were ellipsoidal with devices resembling eight insect-like legs, equipped with fusion engines and adaptive cycle engines, capable of flying at 7 times the speed of sound.
Some were specialized defensive machinery, shaped like cubes with mechanical arms bearing giant shields and equipped with light screen activation devices.
These large Giant Divine Soldiers were each over 50 meters tall, with the highest reaching up to 150 meters, driven personally by Colonel Lu Ying.
These Giant Divine Soldiers raised Green Grass City's exclusive banner.
The banner emitted a red glow, visible from dozens of kilometers away.
Over fifty large and small pieces of armor stepped onto the White Jade stone steps, producing a crisp sound.
These stone steps were astonishingly large, each with a height of about 10 meters, specially designed by ancient races.
A total of a thousand steps leads to the top of the Sky Pillar.
Although most Level 5 and Level 6 masters climb the steps without difficulty, facing such a mountain and stairs inevitably evokes a sense of reverence towards the Giant Kingdom.
Along the way, humans encountered some civilizations climbing the steps.
The parties exchanged brief greetings and passed by each other.
"This army is formidable! Wait... I recognize them, it's the human civilization that initiated the military exercise first!"
"They are likely to confront the ancient races... but whether they can ultimately withstand it remains unknown..."
"Their armor... looks very impressive, indeed a bit formidable."
