The King of Black Fog

Alien fleet?

"How many people?"

"One warship, one thousand one hundred personnel, eight hundred immortals, two hundred Earth Immortals, ten Heavenly Positions." The Queen Mother said.

Li Changzhou stayed silent for a moment, then bowed to the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for watching over us."

Earth now has fewer than ten immortals; if not for the Queen Mother, all he would find upon returning would be a handful of dust of this rock.

"Earth is not just your Earth." The Queen Mother said, "But ultimately it belongs to you, and I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Li Changzhou scrutinized her side profile.

The Queen Mother looked over: "I watched over it for you while you were away; now that you're back, you handle anything below the Heavenly Position."

Li Changzhou nodded and bowed to thank her once again.

With his current strength, the two hundred Earth Immortals are not a big issue; "Superpower Prohibition" can handle them.

But he still had to be cautious of the enemy's tricks.

When the Divine Will Star people conquered the universe, they defeated countless races, but only the Alien Clan is called 'Alien Clan'; it's a title that signifies equality to some extent, even if not recognized by themselves.

As he came to himself, the Queen Mother had already vanished from the room, leaving only a lingering echo.

"There are many fairies in the Turquoise Pool, you can seek their help."

A jade token floated in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the words 'Turquoise Pool' inscribed on it, evidently a pass to enter the Turquoise Pool.

Li Changzhou put away the jade token and notified Yafeiluna to come over; he stood by the window, gazing at the glow of the alien fleet.

"...The ocean has also been affected; most are just uneasy, with only a few players trying to rebel, but they've been restrained." As the Ocean Goddess of Earth, Zheng Qing emitted a faint blue light.

Occasionally, vortices unfolded beside her, within which countless marine creatures worshipped her.

Since entering this meeting room, the others had already witnessed her aura rise twice.

The others looked at Zheng Qing and Beia Triss with indescribable envy—they didn't need to enter the Value Game to grasp great power, enjoy endless longevity, and their strength rose automatically; who wouldn't be envious?

As for being beholden to Li Changzhou...who isn't beholden to Li Changzhou?

The two of them being beholden in this way instead draws envy.

Guo Fu, one of the heads of the development team, said, "Actually, the general situation is still stable. The key is what attitude the Queen Mother will take towards the current situation on Earth, and when the shareholder will return."

"He's already back." Yafeiluna said.

Everyone looked at her with a mix of probing and excitement.

When a player returns from the Value Game, their strength certainly rises; how much will Li Changzhou improve this time?

After a moment, they felt some suspicion, as Yafeiluna's aura hadn't increased.

Yafeiluna was granted an exception from the Value Game, one reason being she was Li Changzhou's "mistress," able to share his strength.

Li Changzhou returned from the Value Game, yet her strength hadn't increased, indicating Li Changzhou likely gained nothing this time.

"Before the meeting starts," Yafeiluna said, "The shareholder instructed me to handle some matters."

As for strength, she didn't elaborate, but through the Twenty Great Demon Gods, she knew the bizarre and formidable skill Li Changzhou had acquired this time.

At this, her expression suddenly changed, as if she was listening to something.

The room fell silent as everyone waited quietly.

When Yafeiluna's expression returned to normal, she stood up immediately.

"The shareholder has summoned me; the meeting will proceed later."

On the floor of the meeting room, the walls on both sides, and the ceiling above, appeared four Great Demon Gods.

The meeting room was huge, yet the Great Demon Gods were larger, only revealing their heads and shoulders.

Even so, the room felt especially cramped against their presence.

The four Great Demon Gods reached out simultaneously, slowly tearing open a square door behind Yafeiluna, with an aura very similar to a teleportation vortex.

"Stay here; wait for me to return." Yafeiluna turned and stepped into the teleportation door.

Her figure disappeared, and the four Great Demon Gods vanished from the floor, walls, and ceiling as well.

Guo Fu leaned towards Little Martial Saint, whispering, "Can we win?"

Little Martial Saint was staring at the ripples left by the disappearing ceiling Demon God: "Only if we join forces with the Phoenix."

Guo Fu sat up straight and sipped his tea.

He glanced around; the vice presidents of the East Asia, West Asia, and Mars branches conversed with the Central King of the Four Seasons Star about trade.

The Lord of the Magic World negotiated adventure slot allocations with the two heads of the development team.

The Ocean Goddess and Cangqiong Goddess were chatting, the blue and golden light surrounding them like a divine mural.

"I meant if we could defeat the Alien Clan," Guo Fu clarified.

"Whether we can or not, it's going to be a fierce battle." Little Martial Saint grew excited.

◇

Yafeiluna's teleportation door opened outside the room.

She adjusted her appearance, straightening her posture, before entering the intelligent system's identification area.

"Come in."

Yafeiluna stepped inside, seeing the silhouette of Li Changzhou standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The view from that window was magnificent, looking down upon Earth and up at the stars, fitting the status of the Five Star Lords.

No, it's six stars now.

Bi's father was developing Mars, choosing to affiliate with the headquarters and form a branch company.

"My Lord," she greeted.

"Explain what's going on." Li Changzhou turned around and walked to sit on the mat.

Yafeiluna organized her thoughts.

"Five days ago, an alien fleet suddenly appeared above Earth, using the network to communicate globally, requesting that you, my Lord..."
