Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 507 Invasion
What was Ji Xinghe doing when the moon was full?
He was facing the Holy Realm Clan.

What was Ji Xinghe doing when he was one year old?
He was dealing with the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War.

What was Ji Xinghe doing when he was learning to speak?
The Demon Dragon Clan appeared in his field of vision, and the Demon Suppression Valley made contact with the various countries of Crimson Star.

What was Ji Xinghe doing when he was learning to walk?
He wasn't involved in the process, but the moment he stood up...

He did indeed witness it.

and so……

It wasn't that he wanted to miss Ji Xinghe's full moon celebration or his first birthday, nor that he didn't want to see the little guy babble and learn to speak as soon as possible, nor that he refused to hold his hand and guide him to take his first steps in life.

He really tries very hard to make time to maintain all of this.

but……

No time.

He really doesn't have time.

Perhaps, time can be squeezed out.

Just like now, perhaps in Ji Qingqing's eyes, he is so free that he can come to the foot of Fulong Mountain to reminisce.

Even his coming to Fulong Mountain was an act of taking time off.

But actually...

Is that really the case?

When a person sits there doing nothing, is he really just slacking off and indulging in decadence?
Ji Fuyou could not answer.

He was also unable to provide an answer to this question.

Everyone has different life experiences and their own understanding of everything, and this understanding is difficult to change.

Because humans cannot imagine things beyond their knowledge, nor can they describe scenes they have never seen before.

No one can convince him of something he hasn't experienced.

and so……

At this moment, Ji Fuyou did not try to tell anything, nor did he choose to explain anything.

Instead, she smiled and replied, "I will try my best to make time to accompany Xinghe as he grows up."

“I know, Xiaoyou, you are a person who does great things and you have to take responsibility for many things. So, I try my best not to let anyone or any trivial matters in life bother you. But... I don’t want you to be too tired. You are not a robot and you should have your own life.”

Ji Qingqing said.

"I see."

Ji Fuyou responded with a smile.

That's a good promise.

Because she knew that Ji Qingqing genuinely cared about him.

She cared for him as a family member, as an older sister.

pity……

But he was destined never to tell her...

This kind of concern is meaningless.

If he doesn't do this, the Red Star will be destroyed, the world will perish, and what's the point of talking about life? What's the point of discussing existence?
"Life, cultivation, becoming stronger, and fighting against the star-devouring monsters—that's all I have."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

Just like...

A certain mission.

……

Ji Fuyou spent a whole day spending quality time with Ji Qingqing, Yu Xiaoyu, Ji Xinghe, and others.

Although his thoughts often wandered to the construction of the stellar image of his simulated body in the virtual god realm during this process, on the surface, he stayed with his family and fulfilled his duties as a husband and a parent.

A day later, he returned to Mars and devoted all his energy and mind to simulating the illusion and comprehending the power of the void.

Simulating a virtual image of a star will help him advance to the third rank of Legendary.

And the power of the void...

This relates to a problem.

one……

If he were to be defeated and unable to contend with the Star-Devouring Demon, then that one…

He didn't know if the peerless swordsman would reappear, and he didn't.

Therefore, he could at least rely on his Void Power attainment of level five to escape from Red Star with his closest loved ones.

People were saved but land was lost.

As long as people exist, the Red Star Civilization may one day rise again.

With this in mind, he patiently cultivated in seclusion, relying on the ever-increasing power of the Void God Realm. After a month, he finally completed the simulation of advancing to the third level of the Legendary Realm, using himself as the model.

Ji Fuyou digested the simulation process and didn't want to miss a single detail.

"After simulating it one more time to ensure everything goes perfectly, we can head to Mars to begin the breakthrough."

Ji Fuyou pondered this in his heart.

A legendary Tier 2 figure is already considered top-tier in this galaxy, but among the six top powers, there are still quite a few figures of this level.

These forces, including their adversaries such as the Heavenly Temple and the Undying Blood Phoenix, number well over a thousand. But once they reach the third tier of Legendary, it's a completely new world.

With those fourth-tier legends who oversee the overall situation remaining inactive, this tier of legend is the pinnacle of existence.

Even the leaders of the six major forces are all Legendary Tier 3.

For example, the emperors of the Divine Dragon Empire, the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty, and the Holy Lin Empire, as well as the leaders of the Star God Palace, the Black Abyss, and the Extreme Universe, all have their affairs handled by third-tier legendary figures.

The fourth-tier legends are concentrating their energy and resources on advancing towards the fifth stage of legend, hoping to gain the power to influence the entire galaxy.

"Once I reach the third level of the Legendary Realm and extend the power of the Void to the fifth level, I can even take the initiative to contact the Divine Dragon Empire or the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty and use their power to promote the Void God Realm... Although it may attract these forces to covet the control of the Void God Realm, on the one hand, I can get them to fight against the Star Devouring Demon with me, and on the other hand... as long as I can quickly advance further, I may be able to complete the substitution."

Ji Fuyou pondered this in his heart.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Even the Star-Devouring Demons, which he had no idea why were targeting their Crimson Star, seemed to have a way to deal with it.

Even if they are no match for the enemy, there is still a good chance of preserving themselves.

The clouds dispersed and the fog lifted, revealing a vast expanse of blue sky and sea.

……

Above Xuan Yue Island!
The void rift located inside the island seemed to be suddenly activated, rippling out in circles of visible spatial ripples.

This ripple quickly stirred up a mist that spread rapidly, covering a large portion of Xuan Yue Island.

The Mist Defense Department's observers were already aware of the occasional void power triggered by the void rift on Xuan Yue Island, and were not surprised by it. Although this time the scale seemed to be larger, it only attracted some satellites and drones to take pictures from a distance.

The team that came to investigate was a patrol squad led by a fifth-level martial artist.

however……

Just when everyone thought that the mist would subside once the void rift stabilized, the void power within the rift suddenly surged, and the mist spread in all directions like a tidal wave.

Before the fog could spread over most of Xuan Yue Island, the images captured by the reconnaissance drones on the periphery showed the fog churning ahead, rippling in all directions like a broken sea.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal, ferocious, and menacing creature emerged from the mist with an overwhelming presence.

Upon closer inspection...

That's a warship!
A terrifying warship that is over 10,000 meters long and no less than 2,000 meters wide.

The moment the warship footage was transmitted back, the entire Mist Defense Department was shaken. The message was reported up the chain of command, and within minutes it had reached Minister Song Lingxiao's desk.

Looking at the terrifying alien warship that was ten kilometers long above Xuan Yue Island, Song Lingxiao gasped.

"Quickly, immediately send a message to Minister Fang, Minister Li, and Minister Zuo to convene an emergency meeting! Also, organize a negotiation team to make contact with that warship and determine whether it is friend or foe..."

Song Lingxiao issued the order extremely quickly, but...

At this moment, the question of whether someone is friend or foe seems to have become irrelevant.

because……

Light!
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the intense light that was still clearly visible suddenly flashed!
The next moment, countless drones and electronic devices simultaneously lost their functionality, accompanied by a flash of bright light, and disconnected.

However, in the satellite images that were urgently mobilized for real-time monitoring, it was clearly visible that a bright light shone brightly, illuminating the heavens and the earth, in the Black Gold Empire, which was more than a thousand kilometers away from Xuan Yue Island.

After the intense light, a rising fireball rapidly expanded, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers.

Everything within this area was annihilated under this fireball, burned into silhouettes and reduced to ashes.

A metropolitan area with a population of tens of millions on the eastern coast of the Black Gold Empire was completely engulfed as a fireball spread.

And that's not the end.

The intense heat from the fireball was transmitted through the intense light, rapidly igniting everything around it. The blazing flames spread with devastating force to a distance of 300 kilometers, then 600 kilometers...

Several surrounding cities with populations of millions were also completely ignited by this spreading flame, turning into a sea of ​​fire.

Afterwards, there will be further shockwaves spreading.

Violent tremors can trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and gas dust.

As time goes by, all of this will affect the entire Red Star.

Everyone on Red Star will be affected by these disasters, plunging them into unprecedented panic and chaos.

Song Lingxiao, Fang Qiyun, Li Ao, Zuo Chunqiu, Tie Muxuan, William and everyone else witnessed the devastating images transmitted through various instruments and satellites. They were all stunned and felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"My God! That's... the York metropolitan area! That metropolitan area is home to more than 20 million people!"

"how so……"

"What...what on earth happened!?"

Since the Demon Valley incident, the Red Star mainland has hardly experienced any attacks.

Occasionally, when mist appears within the territory of Crimson Star, rapid response forces from all over the region will immediately swarm in and wipe out the monsters, which are at most only at the seventh or eighth rank.

Many times, some people even mistakenly believe that the threat posed by the mist and alien races has already left Red Star.

But at this moment...

Looking at the fireball with a diameter of over one hundred kilometers, at the cities reduced to ashes, and at the tens of millions of people in each city, the leaders of Red Star finally remembered the fear they had felt when they were dominated by ferocious beasts, demons, and alien races.

After the initial shock and fear subsided, all the high-ranking officials finally awoke to their senses.

"Invasion! Alien invasion!"

"Legendary! This destructive power... it's definitely the work of a legendary powerhouse!"

"They... came here through a void rift on Xuan Yue Island! It wasn't a void passage formed by the rules of the celestial order, but rather they directly jumped through space to reach our Crimson Star!"

"Quickly! Go and invite Chairman Ji!"
