The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Earth, the Chinese Empire, the capital city, the welcoming plaza in front of the National Palace.

The highest-ranking officials of the Huaxia Empire, as well as military generals and marshals, and prominent figures from various fields such as business, scientific research, and spiritual martial arts in the capital city, were all present.

People lined up on both sides of the square, waiting for Zhang Beihai and his entourage to arrive.

Of course, the warship that Zhang Beihai and his men were on would not land here.

Because it's not big enough, even though this square is already the largest square in the world.

The warships will land on the sea east of Shanghai – warships can anchor on the water.

Then, Zhang Beihai and others will arrive here in a small transport plane.

"Why haven't they arrived yet? They've already passed the agreed time, haven't they?"

Chen Jingfeng asked the diplomatic ambassador beside him.

The ambassador looked towards the sea.

"Their warships are so huge, the landing operations must be quite complicated. There must have been a small problem that caused the delay, but they should be here soon."

"I hope they can return safely. With their help, our chances of defeating the Celestial God Clan will be greatly increased."

"Yeah yeah."

After waiting for several hours, the bigwigs from all sides in the square were clearly showing signs of impatience.

"What are you doing? Are you coming back or not?"

"Standing up on something this important? Has your emotional intelligence dropped after wandering in space for so long?"

"What do you mean by leaving us hanging here!"

Even the king, Chen Jingfeng, felt somewhat uncomfortable after waiting for several hours under the scorching sun.

"It's one thing for Zhang Beihai and the others to be late, but why isn't Song Gua here on time either?"

Today, while welcoming the return of the Zhang Beihai warship, the National Palace also extended an invitation to Song Gua.

The National Palace stated that now that the stone statue fragments have been collected, they hope Song Gua can return to the National Palace for a face-to-face negotiation.

After all, the fact that such a powerful force as bandits has been roaming the streets for so long is not a satisfactory explanation to society as a whole.

Song Gua also promised Chen Jingfeng that he would come today.

Otherwise, the Song hexagram would not have appeared in the eastern sea today.

But now, neither group of people has arrived, and Chen Jingfeng is starting to feel something is off.

Just when everyone's patience was about to reach its limit, and some people had even secretly left, a fleet of black transport planes finally appeared on the edge of the clouds.

"Here it comes!"

The group of people who had just been looking impatient now wore expressions of warm welcome.

Unfortunately, Earth doesn't yet know the technological level of the combat equipment Zhang Beihai and his team are carrying. It might actually be advantageous in defeating the Celestial Race.

We still need to do a good job on appearances.

"Waaah—"

This group of flying objects, which Earthlings cannot understand and which resemble Rubik's Cubes with constantly changing surface structures, are the transport planes of interstellar civilizations.

After the transport plane landed, the doors slowly opened, and many people flew out.

These people all wear personal flight suits and can fly around freely.

After looking around, they landed on the ground and walked towards Chen Jingfeng and the others as a sign of respect.

Chen Jingfeng, along with a group of representatives from the imperial government and prominent figures from various sectors of the capital city, warmly greeted them.

"Zhang Beihai, General Zhang, and great scientist Zhou, we've been waiting for you for so long, and you've finally arrived!"

Zhang Beihai, as the highest leader here, shook hands with Chen Jingfeng.

"During landing, the ship encountered some transmission problems, which caused a slight delay. We apologize for keeping you waiting."

"It's alright, it's alright. We've waited for thousands of years, what's a few hours?"

"By the way, when we landed, we ran into Song Gua. He helped us stabilize the ship, and we came together."

"Really? That's great! Where is he? Ever since he was resurrected, I've wanted to see him, and you have no idea how difficult it has been..."

Chen Jingfeng looked into the crowd and saw Song Gua pinning a beautiful female diplomat against the wall.

Even from a great distance, Chen Jingfeng could feel the greasiness.

"Uh, Emperor Song is still the same, still so full of youthful spirit..."

Chen Jingfeng walked towards Song Gua.

"Emperor Song, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. I sent out so many detachments from the Zhenjun Division, but I still couldn't bring you back. Today, my wish has finally come true."

Song Gua glanced at Chen Jingfeng.

"Okay, okay, I got it, you guys chat first."

"Let's... no, the palace has already arranged a state banquet for everyone. I think you've traveled a long way, so let's have a welcome feast first. We can discuss how to fight the enemy together later."

"Alright, alright, I heard the waiters at state banquets are all top-notch, right?"

"Well……"

As the ruler of the country, Chen Jingfeng really didn't know how to answer his question to such an unreliable ancestor.

Led by the official representatives, the representatives of the interstellar civilization, including Yue Sheng, Zhou Lisha, Zhang Beihai, Zhou Tak, and Song Gua, were led into the magnificent and grand reception hall of the National Palace.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion occurred the very next second after everyone entered.

The firelight illuminated the entire city of Shangjing.

The shockwave destroyed buildings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

In an instant, everything centered around the palace became a forbidden zone for life.

With such a powerful explosion, it's impossible for any living thing to survive.

The epicenter of the explosion left a terrifying crater thousands of meters deep.

The cracks around the pit resemble winding canyons.

This explosion not only destroyed everything, but also altered the terrain.

Some areas are raised, while others are collapsed.

The ruins were charred black.

The flames died down, and the dust settled.

Clumps of black mist slowly gathered in the sky.

"Heh, they've fallen for their trap."

"It went quite smoothly. I thought they weren't coming today."

"These past few hours of waiting were definitely worth it."

The black mist dissipated, revealing its true form.

These are over a hundred humans at the King level.

One of them was Chen Jingfeng.

At this moment, he had lost his benevolent and approachable nature as a ruler, as well as his enthusiasm for welcoming interstellar civilizations; his face was filled only with cold killing intent.

"Elders, don't be careless. No one will come here in the short term, but if too much time passes, the outer blockade will definitely fail. Let's check as soon as possible whether anyone has survived on the battlefield, and then leave."

These martial arts masters at the King Realm are the foundation of the Chen family, and they have all come.

"Jingfeng, don't worry. The development of the Fiery Star Bullet is prohibited, but our Chen family has its own research institute. The Fiery Star Bullet used today has its power perfectly controlled. It's not only concentrated but also extremely powerful. Even if Song Gua has reached the King Realm, he would surely die without any warning!"

"I know that. Zhang Beihai and the others are definitely doomed. I'm just afraid that Song Gua still has some trump cards up his sleeve. After all, he possesses three major light sources, so he can't be underestimated."
