Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Of the people present, only the peak-level one had the calmest expression.

He simply kept his hands in his pockets and didn't show much shock.

Clearly, he already knew Xu Tian's true identity during their previous conversation.

Longhun strode over to the three of them. He didn't put on any arrogant airs, but the natural authority that comes from years of being in a high position still made people feel somewhat restrained.

"Gentlemen, you must be the leaders of the other major guilds. Hello."

The dragon soul's voice was deep and resonant.

"I am the president of the Huaxia Guild, Longhun."

A simple self-introduction, without any unnecessary small talk.

Lu Chen and Yang Qinyu quickly composed themselves, introduced themselves, and exchanged a brief greeting.

However, with the arrival of this person who appeared to be a high-ranking military official, the previously relaxed atmosphere on the platform suddenly became tense and solemn.

Without uttering any more words, the group, led by the Dragon Soul, strode forward and headed straight into the main hall.

At this moment, in the plaza below the headquarters of the Zhutian Guild, many Zhutian Guild players who were resupplying and handing over tasks also keenly noticed the scene unfolding on the platform above.

"Holy crap? Did you guys see those people who just walked in?"

"I saw it. The one who was lost in thought was Guild Leader Peak, the one in the blue robe was Qingchen, and that stunningly beautiful woman was Xiao Heihei from the Civilization Guild."

"Not only that, but I just saw the ID of that muscular man in the dark red armor with a high-powered telescope. He's the guild leader of the second-ranked Chinese guild, Dragon Soul."

"My God, this is truly a battle of gods! What's going on today? Why have all the leaders of the top five super guilds in the entire server put down their territorial grabbing and come to our Zhutian Guild's side?"

"Something earth-shattering is definitely going to happen. Quickly take screenshots and record videos. Maybe tomorrow will be the day we merge completely and unify the universe."

The chatter among the players below did not affect the group that had already stepped deeper into the main hall.

……

The group traveled smoothly along a red-carpeted corridor to the highest-level conference room at the deepest part of the All-Heavens Guild.

At this moment, the heavy alloy doors slowly opened to both sides.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge round table in the center of the spacious conference room, which was decorated like an interstellar temple.

Xu Tian was sitting quietly at the head of the round table.

Qin Fengxue sat beside him, toying with a data pen in her hand.

Hearing the door open, Xu Tian and Qin Fengxue simultaneously looked up, their gazes falling on the four people who walked in.

"They're all here."

Xu Tian's lips, hidden beneath his mask, curled slightly upward. He stood up, extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, and spoke calmly.

"Everyone, now that you're all here, don't stand, just find a seat."

Peak, Lu Chen, Yang Qinyu, and the four members of Dragon Soul filed in and took their seats one by one at the huge round table.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room became unusually quiet at that moment; you could hear a pin drop.

Lu Chen has always been someone who can't keep a secret. As soon as he sat down, he looked at Xu Tian in the main seat with some impatience, breaking the silence.

"Tianxia, ​​what's all this fuss about today? We've known each other for so long, and this seems to be the first time we've all sat down at a table together in the game for a formal meeting of this level, right?"

Xu Tian placed his hands on the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces before he spoke in a deep voice.

"Old Chen, you're right. This is our first time, and hopefully not the last, because this meeting isn't about discussing how to attack some alien civilization to loot equipment, but rather..."

Xu Tian paused slightly, his tone becoming extremely serious.

"This concerns the life and death of everyone here, as well as the 200,000 players on the server, and even the entire human race on Earth."

"That's why I made an exception and called everyone over, as the top five core members of the guild."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's earnest words, Lu Chen was first taken aback, then smiled dismissively and said with a puzzled look.

"Is it a matter of life and death? Tianxia, ​​aren't you exaggerating? This is just a game, you can just die."

"Even if we were to go head-to-head with a stellar-level alien beast and get instantly killed, the worst that could happen is that we'd lose some experience and equipment. Don't we have the system panel and the ability to resurrect infinitely? What kind of damage in this game could truly be a matter of life and death?"

Although Yang Qinyu, who was sitting opposite Lu Chen, did not speak, her eyes also revealed the same doubt.

She felt that Xu Tian seemed a little too immersed in his role today.

Seeing Lu Chen's relaxed demeanor, as if he were still treating this as a virtual game, Xu Tian didn't say anything, but just sighed helplessly.

"Old Lu, I won't waste my breath explaining the specific details and the truth about this issue."

Xu Tian turned his gaze to Long Hun, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, and gestured slightly with his hand.

"This matter involves too many aspects, so let the president of the Huaxia Guild explain it to you personally."

Chapter 462 has been cracked.

As Xu Tian relinquished the right to speak, everyone's attention instantly focused on the burly man who had remained silent.

Despite the gazes of the crowd, Long Hun showed no stage fright.

He slowly sat up straight, and that invisible, iron-blooded majesty emanated once more, even making the surrounding air seem somewhat viscous.

He took a deep breath, a solemn yet somewhat apologetic smile on his face, and began to speak.

"Alright, now that the world has handed over the power of discourse to me, before we get down to business, let me give you a formal self-introduction."

Dragon Soul's gaze swept across Lu Chen and Yang Qinyu's shocked faces one by one, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I am the player known as Dragon Soul in this game."

"In the real world, my true identity is Long Jianguo, the commander-in-chief of the Supreme Joint Command of the Chinese military."

These words were like a bombshell dropped into the conference room.

Lu Chen's mind exploded instantly. He sprang up from his chair, his eyes wide open, staring at the burly man in front of him.

"The Chinese military headquarters? Or the commander-in-chief?"

Lu Chen's voice became shocked.

"Are you kidding me? Are you really a high-ranking military officer? Or are you just some gimmick or an imposter in a game?"

Although Yang Qinyu did not stand up in a fit of rage like Lu Chen, she still gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.

His face was filled with disbelief and shock.

She never imagined that the guild leader who led a group of players in a crazy push in the game, with a ruthless and iron-fisted style, would have such a suffocatingly high status in real life.

The highest-ranking military commander personally led a team to play a full-immersive online game?

If this got out, it would definitely be considered a complete fantasy.

Faced with Lu Chen's outburst and questioning, Long Jianguo was not angry. He simply nodded slightly, his steady voice carrying an undeniable power.

"That's right, I am the real-world Commander-in-Chief of the military, without a doubt. And the five thousand core members of the Huaxia Guild under my command are all active-duty top special forces soldiers and scientific research experts secretly drawn from various military regions."

Long Jianguo placed his hands on the table with his body slightly leaning forward.

"Now that I have revealed my identity to you all, I will get straight to the point and tell you about the top-secret information that our military possesses. This is why the World Association says that this meeting concerns the life and death of all mankind."

Long Jianguo's expression became more solemn than ever before, and his voice was so deep that it seemed to penetrate one's soul.

"About six months ago, China's deep space exploration base, along with observatories of several other top countries around the world, simultaneously captured a set of mysterious high-frequency pulse signals at the edge of an unusual star region in outer space."

"After our military and the Academy of Sciences' top teams worked day and night to decipher the message, the content was successfully translated. The message clearly stated that a fleet of advanced alien civilization with absolute hostility was approaching the blue planet of the solar system at full speed. Their goal was to invade, or even destroy."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian frowned deeply and interrupted him with some confusion.

"Did they explicitly state that? Does this mean the military not only intercepted the signal but also completely cracked the encrypted language information belonging to an advanced extraterrestrial civilization?"

Long Jianguo nodded and admitted it without hesitation.

"That's right, because that signal itself isn't a complex encrypted channel; it's more like a plaintext announcement, similar to a cosmic broadcast or an ultimatum."

"So our military completely cracked the signal shortly after receiving it using supercomputers."

"but".

Long Jianguo let out a long sigh, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes.

"This news is so shocking that once it is released, given that it is confirmed that current human technology is simply no match for the enemy, it will be a huge blow."

"The social order of the entire real world will collapse completely in an instant. In order not to cause a global doomsday panic, the top leaders of various countries reached a tacit agreement to classify this news as top secret and keep it tightly under wraps, never announcing it to the outside world."

Hearing this, Yang Qinyu, who was standing to the side, finally recovered a little from her huge shock.

Her mind raced, recalling the recent upheavals in the real world and online. She suddenly looked up at Long Jianguo and said...

"Wait a minute, Commander Long, this is unbelievable! Your military personnel are actually playing games with us, but..."

Yang Qinyu's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"But it seems that the news about the alien invasion was eventually made public. I saw a lot of news about aliens on various online forums and news headlines a few days ago."

"Those reports only claimed that the signal was very blurry and had not been completely cracked; it was just a lot of speculation from the public."

Long Jianguo looked at Yang Qinyu and smiled slightly, but that smile concealed a deep sense of helplessness and calculation.

"President Yang, the news you saw was indeed released later, and the reason behind it is all because of this game called 'Conquer'."

Long Jianguo extended a finger and tapped the table.

"When this game was just born, before it became popular online, and when the total number of players on the server was only a few hundred, our military's cybersecurity department had already noticed its existence."

"Because the existence of this game completely violates the common sense of modern computer science and physics, the 100% realism, the helmet material that cannot be analyzed by any instrument, all of this has aroused our high vigilance."

Long Jianguo took a deep breath and dropped the second bombshell of the day, one that was enough to shatter the worldviews of everyone present.

"Subsequently, our military deployed all the most advanced equipment available, including particle colliders and soul wavelength detectors, to conduct a comprehensive deconstruction and analysis of the game helmet and the so-called game data. In the end, the old men at the Academy of Sciences reached a unified conclusion..."

Long Jianguo's gaze sharpened as he stared at Lu Chen and Yang Qinyu.

"This is not a virtual world simulated by computer code at all; it is a real world with complete physical laws that exists at some distant coordinate in the universe."
