From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 508 Explanation? If you need an answer, it can be summed up in three words: unfounded accusation.
The night sky was silent, dotted with countless stars.

At this moment—

The moment Li Chengqian severed the head of the Ice and Snow Emperor with a single stroke, all the global powers capable of monitoring this East Asian airspace fell silent, as still as an ice cave.

High-definition satellite images were transmitted almost in real time to the entire process of that brief, brutal, yet world-altering battle outside Yangzhou.

From the eruption of Merhandson's signature "Ice Prison World" domain, to Li Chengqian's ghostly figure weaving through deadly ice spikes, and then to the indifferent black blade that seemed capable of severing everything and ultimately grazed the Third Speaker's neck...

Every scene is like the heaviest warhammer, slamming into the viewer's heart.

Finally, the image freezes on Li Chengqian holding Merhandson's head, pointing it at the satellite in the sky, giving the provocative middle finger, and displaying a cold and mocking smile on his face.

"Crack-!"

In a top-secret command center somewhere in the United States, a five-star general slammed his electronic notebook to pieces, his face turning ashen and his chest heaving violently.

"Merhandsen...the Third Speaker...is dead?! Killed by...an 18-year-old Chinese boy?! How is this possible?!"

His roar was filled with horror, anger, and a hint of indescribable fear.

Not just in America.

The leaders of all the powers that witnessed or quickly learned of this news, including Europe, India, and the Soviet Union, were all plunged into immense shock and speechlessness.

A planetary-level powerhouse, the Third Speaker who stood at the top of Earth for decades, just like that... disappeared?
How could someone who was completely unknown just a few months ago be chopped up like a melon or vegetables?
Moreover, it was done in such a humiliating way—by beheading—and as a demonstration to the world!

"Investigate! Find out everything about this Li Chengqian immediately! Everything about him!!" Similar orders echoed at the headquarters of various forces.

"Immediately reassess the Huaxia Extreme Martial Arts Academy, no, reassess Huaxia's overall strength and threat level!"

"Contact the Chinese government! We demand an explanation! Speaker Merhandson's death cannot have been in vain!"

Meanwhile, China, which was at the eye of the storm, reacted extremely quickly.

One day later

At the headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, Hong slowly opened his eyes in the quiet room. Looking at the image frozen on the screen in front of him, a faint trace of emotion finally appeared on his usually calm face.

"His swordsmanship... has reached the Dao realm. His comprehension of the rules is even more unfathomable. It's unbelievable that such a figure could emerge from humanity on Earth... The times are about to change."

He pondered for a moment and issued the order: "In my name, announce to the world that Li Chengqian is the Inspector of my Extreme Martial Arts Academy. Today's events were caused by Mohammadsen's unauthorized intrusion into China with malicious intent. Li Chengqian's actions were legitimate self-defense, and he shall bear the consequences."

The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority, instantly transmitted through a special channel to the top echelons of major global powers.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not about protecting one's own, but a powerful declaration to the world, telling everyone that the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy has gained another planetary-level member, and an extremely powerful one at that!
Almost simultaneously with Hong's announcement, in a heavily guarded, technologically advanced conference room in the Huaxia Kyoto base city.

With a flicker of light and shadow, several virtual figures quickly solidified.

At the head of the table were two figures with profound presence: one dressed in black, whose gaze seemed to contain the vastness of the universe; and a burly middle-aged man in military uniform with golden stars adorning his epaulets.

On the other side was the bald Thor, who looked at Li Chengqian, who was appearing in this conference room for the first time, with amazement and chuckled, "Old Hong, this kid from your martial arts school really goes all out!"

Li Chengqian's true form sat calmly at the other end of the conference table, his lips twitching slightly.

Who says the government is inefficient? Look, less than a day after the incident, I was invited into the most high-end, most private, and also the safest conference room on Earth.

“Li Chengqian.” The middle-aged man in military uniform spoke first, his voice steady, his gaze revealing scrutiny and gravity. “I am the Chief of the General Staff of the Chinese military, my surname is Qi. Your actions today have caused extremely significant international repercussions. The United States has lodged the strongest protest, demanding that we immediately hand you over and provide an explanation.”

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian merely raised his eyelids slightly, his tone as indifferent as if he were discussing a trivial matter: "Explanation? Unfounded."

"Arrested without cause?" Chief of Staff Qi frowned slightly.

"He secretly infiltrated China and headed straight for my home city, Yangzhou. His killing intent as a planetary-level expert was completely undisguised." Li Chengqian leaned forward slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Hong and Lei Shen's faces. "Should I wait until he reaches my parents' doorstep before taking action? Or should I wait until he makes his move before going to the chairmen to complain and request arbitration?"

His tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "When did planetary-level beings become so polite? He came with murderous intent, so he should be prepared to be killed in return. What reason do I need to kill him? If I had to, it would be that he posed a threat to me. Is that reason enough?"

There was silence in the conference room.

Hong nodded slowly: "Enough. Planetary levels have their own rules. Merhandson crossed the line, and his death is his own fault." His words settled the matter, setting the tone for the entire incident. Strength is the ultimate principle.

Upon seeing this, Chief of Staff Qi's expression softened slightly, but he remained serious: "That may be true, but the United States and even the HR alliance will not let this go easily, and subsequent diplomatic pressure and friction are inevitable."

"Pressure, my foot! I'd like to ask them that. They can't even manage their own people, yet they come here baring their teeth at me. I'll tell them that if necessary, I'll personally go to America and tell them…", Li Chengqian said calmly. "A bunch of second and third-tier planetary level guys have no right to reason with me!"

He abruptly changed the subject, his gaze sharpening: "This is just an internal conflict on Earth, worthless? Merhandson is nothing but a tiny insect, better not to mention him. You know, the real trouble is yet to come."

"Real trouble?" Hong's gaze suddenly sharpened, fixing intently on Li Chengqian. Thor's expression also turned unusually serious. Chief of Staff Qi leaned forward slightly.

"What do you mean?" Hong asked in a deep voice.

Li Chengqian did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Master Hong, Master Lei Shen, you are both invincible on Earth and have received the inheritance of ancient civilizations. You should know that in this vast universe, we humans on Earth are just a group of laughable natives. Our inheritance actually comes entirely from the universe. Have you never thought about what the consequences would be if our native planet were discovered?"

The pupils of the three people present also contracted slightly, clearly indicating that they had thought of something.

“I don’t know where your inheritance came from, but the inheritance I received tells me that a native planet like Earth, where the strongest beings are only at the seventh level of planetary rank, will immediately become a slave planet once it is discovered by adventurers wandering in the universe.” As he said this, he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Hong and Thor. “You two, the strongest beings on Earth, are simply not capable of protecting Earth.”
