The Pope continued in a deep voice, "Other organizations and countries received the news simultaneously and, after they have completed their internal notifications, will send representatives to convene the 'Pan-Human Federation Conference'."

"Faced with an aggressive interstellar war waged by aliens, we must coordinate all the forces of human civilization."

Chapter 263: The Arrogant Morgana Heads Towards the Solar System

Xia State, capital

This place has become one of the largest cities on Earth, with a permanent population of over 300 million. The buildings on the ground combine modern and classical styles, while the floating buildings in the sky combine futuristic and fantasy elements.

A dense aerial transportation network, resembling a spider web, is in place.

The Xia Kingdom has the largest population in the entire solar system. Nearly one-fifteenth of the more than two hundred billion humans are from the Xia Kingdom, which is close to two hundred billion people.

The Xia people are also known as the "street hustlers of the solar system" by other civilizations, as they can be seen everywhere.

Xia Kingdom is also the most industrialized nation in the entire solar system. 55% of the spaceships in the solar system are manufactured by Xia Kingdom. Although 99% of them are civilian spaceships, the remaining 1% are military spaceships, which account for 60% of the weaponized spaceships manufactured by human civilization.

The Xia Kingdom also boasts the largest number of fourth-tier and fifth-tier superhumans among all humankind, second only to the Vatican.

The Great Hall of the capital city.

This is the core of the national assembly of the fifth-order transcendent beings and the ruling fourth-order transcendent beings of the Xia Kingdom.

The entire auditorium was packed, with even some fourth-tier superhumans having to stand in the aisles.

News agencies from all over the world couldn't find a crowded place to work, so they had to use small AI live-streaming devices to fly above the Great Hall of the People.

The assembly hall was quite noisy before all the top superhumans of Xia Kingdom had arrived.

"Damn it, how many years has this peace lasted? Not even a hundred years, and the aliens have already come knocking on our door."

"Our astronomy department has indeed detected signs of life in more than a hundred star systems within a thousand light-years of the solar system using the latest equipment. We have also detected fluctuations in man-made technology, but we did not expect it to happen so quickly."

"After all, we are receiving light from a thousand years ago. Who knows how alien civilizations around the solar system have developed in the past thousand years?"

"It's truly fortunate that the gods have returned; otherwise, given the technological development before the extraordinary era, we would probably only have begun exploring the moon after several decades."

"An alien interstellar fleet capable of traversing star systems without our detection must possess faster-than-light travel technology, not even including wormhole technology, which we can only detect after it happens."

In the first row of seats in the Great Hall of the People, a figure as strong as a bull stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and roared.

"Who cares about aliens? If they dare to come to the solar system, fight them! The technology of all humanity in the solar system is not weak either. We have star destroyers too!"

"That's right! Hit them!" A pink-haired girl slammed her hand on the table angrily.

“Mark is right, kill those aliens! We humans are not to be trifled with either! Anyone who dares to come, leave them all here!” Another man stood up and roared, “None of us in the Extraordinary Legion are cowards.”

"Alright, Mark, Erica, Mo Cheng, sit down. Rushing around now will only waste your energy," an old man said, his eyes fierce.

"The fact that the great gods haven't intervened yet proves that our human civilization has the strength to defeat those alien hybrids, since we haven't reached the point of extinction yet."

"Old Chen, I just can't hold back my anger. We're finally developing at a high speed, and then a bunch of alien bastards just show up out of nowhere." Mark clenched his fists, his bones cracking.

He had only been living in peace for a few decades since coming to the new world from the apocalypse. Twenty years ago, he married his current wife, a former female civil servant. His children had just come of age, and civilization had only just begun to prosper. But those damned things always came to destroy the peace that had been so hard to create.

Over the past few decades, he has become a peak fifth-tier extraordinary being, and advancing to the sixth tier only requires a few more decades of hard work.

Experiencing an interstellar war, this great achievement of protecting humanity could allow him to quickly advance to the sixth rank, but he would rather not have such a great achievement.

"Everyone's goal is clear: they all want stability. I'm also very angry," Old Chen said, holding a thermos cup with a murderous glint in his eyes.

“I used to think that our Xia Kingdom had the largest population, with fifty-three fifth-order extraordinary beings, several sixth-order legendary beings, and one powerful being above the seventh order. With such strength, we could maintain peace and stability for at least several hundred years.”

"I really didn't expect the danger to come from outside the solar system, humph."

None of the extraordinary individuals in the Great Hall were in a good mood when faced with external threats; they either remained silent with fierce eyes or spoke out in anger.

At that moment, the Great Hall of the People, which had been as noisy as flies, fell silent instantly.

All eyes turned to the entrances on either side of the podium; their strongest fighting force from the Xia Kingdom had arrived, bringing them face to face.

The only monk in the Xia Kingdom to be called the 'Buddha on Earth,' 'Holy Monk,' 'Golden Cicada,' and 'Sandalwood Merit Buddha,' who reached the ninth level, was Master Xuanzang.

The contemporary 'Martial Arts Ancestor' 'Bajiquan Orthodox School' has advanced to the late stage of the sixth rank, the Unparalleled Fist, and the Divine Spear Li Shuwen.

Guli Xian'er, the 'Immortal Disciple' and 'Guardian of the Western Regions,' has advanced to the early stage of the sixth rank.

Yu Chengyue, a martial arts grandmaster, sword saint, pillar of the nation, and chief instructor of the extraordinary legion, has advanced to the early stage of the sixth rank.

Qin Liangyu, the 'Loyal Marquis' from the Type-Moon world, is at the early stage of the sixth rank.

The "Loyal Marquis," "Master Zhuge," "Sage of Wisdom," and "Master Crouching Dragon" from the Type-Moon world, is Zhuge Kongming, a mid-stage sixth-order strategist. This Kongming is not the El-Melloi II possessed by a spirit origin, but the true form.

And Tao Jing, the peak sixth-tier expert, who is known as the "Number One Sixth-Tier Expert of Our Time," "Pillar of the Nation," "Commander of the Extraordinary Legion," and "Guardian of the Nation."

The seven people went to their seats on the large stage and sat down.

“I’m not good at these kinds of national affairs. I’ll just show up and lend a hand. These brain-intensive tasks should be left to you smart people,” Li Shuwen said.

"I'm only responsible for commanding troops and deploying formations; I don't need to do that," Qin Liangyu shook her head.

"Me too. I'm fine with fighting and preaching, or stabilizing the rear, but please spare me when it comes to matters of national importance," Master Xuanzang muttered to himself.

The true representatives of the Xia Kingdom's unified civilization were Tao Jing, Gu Lixian'er, and Yu Chengyue. Then, Mr. Kongming offered advice and formulated the direction before handing it over to the ruling personnel for execution.

It's simple and efficient, and there won't be any problems.

"Kongming, I was just assisting from the sidelines." Zhuge Liang smiled wryly: "Speaking of which, my vacation is ruined, and I'll have to work overtime again."

During the Shu Kingdom period, the burden of the entire country rested on his shoulders. Now that he has come to the future Xia Kingdom, the burden will still fall on him. Moreover, he has to devise strategies for major matters. He doesn't get a few days of rest all year round. Sigh.

Kongming, I am truly destined for a life of toil.

Over the decades, he has been constantly improving his abilities, whether it is governance, commanding troops, scientific invention, or mastering immortal techniques. He has even taken on part-time jobs at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to assist agronomists in achieving breakthroughs in crop yields.

"Mr. Kongming, you've really had a tough time," Tao Jing said helplessly. "We really want to give you a long vacation, but the current situation is indeed troublesome."

This is mainly because Mr. Kongming's abilities in all aspects are the strongest. For the people of Xia, who pursue excellence in everything, it would be really hard not to seek Mr. Kongming's guidance.

"Kongming, I understand. I will shoulder the great responsibility of the nation and the mission of civilization, no matter how much pressure there is," Zhuge Kongming said with a smile, shaking his feather fan.

“Mr. Kongming is very generous. I have a jar of high-quality sixth-grade tea that can boost morale. I will deliver it to Mr. Kongming’s home after the conference.” Yu Chengyue stroked his sparse beard.

The meeting began, and the entire Xia Kingdom entered an unprecedented state of united front work. All industries were shifted to military production, and all civilian spacecraft manufacturing was converted to warship manufacturing.

The Xia Kingdom's warships have reached the kilometer level in size, and when equipped with 'elemental nuclear bombs' and 'elemental beam cannons,' they have reached the 'surface level,' capable of destroying dwarf planets with a volume of less than one thousand kilometers.

However, this is still far inferior to a true 'Star Destroyer'. The Demon Civilization is currently only capable of creating rudimentary cosmic law weapons, such as gravity bombs and energy tidal beams.

……

Representatives from various countries of the European Union also declared at the meeting that Europe had entered a state of total war.

Now, Britain, France, and Italy form the core of Europe, uniting all European countries.

These three countries are currently the strongest, and all possess superhumans of the sixth rank or higher. Britain has the Knights of the Round Table, France has the 'Iris Legion' led by Jeanne d'Arc Alter, Italy has the Roman Emperor Nero, and Sicily is home to two Olympian goddesses—two of them!

Other countries may also have fifth-tier superhumans and historical heroes, but they are still far inferior to these three countries.

European Parliament

"Therefore! The overall preparations for war in Europe will be led by me! This is the best option based on reality! Please raise any objections you may have! All issues will be resolved at the meeting! Hmm!"

The Roman Emperor Nero Claudius stood on the grand platform, looking at the representatives of all the European nations, and spoke passionately.

“Your Majesty Nero, Britain has no objection. With your talent, you are indeed the best leader,” Irene said.

As a 'reincarnated angel,' she is currently at the peak of the seventh rank, on par with the Pope, and will soon reach the eighth rank.

Her brother Gavin was at the sixth rank, as were all the Knights of the Round Table, but a knight with a holy sword could unleash a strike at the seventh or even eighth rank.

As for Archmage Merlin... well... his swordsmanship and combat prowess are even stronger than the Knights of the Round Table, but his magic is inferior to that immortal disciple from the Western Regions of Xia Kingdom. He is revered as an archmage, yet his close combat skills are stronger than his magic.

At the same time, there is also the outrageous Empress Nero. Her abilities are too exaggerated, it's like she's cheating. Even she, the 'reincarnated angel' who has seen God, is ashamed of herself.

This Empress Nero has already reached the eighth rank. She can obtain any knowledge she desires, acquire any skill she wants, and even gain 'divinity'. Therefore, when she gained divinity, she directly obtained 'divine knowledge'.

So she has been rising steadily over the past few decades and is now at the eighth level.

It's too ridiculous.

Her Majesty Nero is certainly worthy of this rapid advancement. She spearheaded the formation of the Roman Federation in Europe, achieving comprehensive improvements in technology, agriculture, and education. Although it is still not as advanced as the Xia Kingdom, the gap is not large.

Her Majesty Nero was not only the strongest scientist in Europe, but also the strongest knight, the strongest inventor, and the strongest politician. In short, she held more than twenty of the titles of the strongest in Europe.

This is outrageous! Is she really not our Lord's illegitimate daughter, or a descendant of the God's child?

"Hmph, you can have it then. Just this once, only this once!" Jeanne d'Arc Alter, the French representative, sneered.

The French deputy representative next to Jeanne d'Arc (Black) pulled out a tissue to wipe his sweat: "Lady Jeanne, it's so good that you're not dissatisfied."

"Did you think I'd fight with British monkeys? Do I look like such an irrational person?" Jeanne Alter glared at the deputy representative with displeasure.

"Of course not, of course not, Lady Jeanne, I brought some pistachios, please have some." The deputy representative quickly handed a bag of pistachios to Black Jeanne.

Thinking to myself, "You just fought the Knights of the Round Table in Britain and almost destroyed their fighting arena."

This Joan of Arc was born from the resentment of Joan of Arc, who had already become a Seraph; she is another possibility of Joan of Arc, resentful of her fate of being burned at the stake by the British barbarians, and resentful of the slander and framing by the French Church. (In her own opinion).

Although Jeanne Alter had a fiery temper, she was a very good person and did not harbor resentment towards the French people. In fact, she even took on the responsibility of protecting France.

Now, Jeanne d'Arc Alter is very popular among the French people. At first, the French people hoped to influence her with love, thinking it would take decades, but unexpectedly, it only took two or three days.

In the hearts of the French, Jeanne Alter was no different from Jeanne d'Arc who had become a Seraph.

“I have nothing to say. The capable rise and the mediocre fall; it is only natural.” A white-haired man with dark circles under his eyes, dressed in aristocratic attire, said. He was Vlad III, also known as the ‘Piercing Duke,’ the current guardian of the Balkans in Europe, and a mid-stage sixth-order ruler.

Meanwhile, on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Ceres, and in countries from Teyvat, meetings are also being held simultaneously.

For nations from Teyvat, the process is relatively simpler. The gods directly deliver the information to the leaders of each nation, and everyone simply coordinates according to the divine decree.

Within a single day, all the nations in the solar system had been properly coordinated.

Then the entire solar system civilization underwent its final unification.

At this point, the gods will not interfere; the final decision of humanity can only be made by humanity itself, and the gods can only provide guidance.

The entire solar system became incredibly somber, and even the number of spaceships traveling through the solar system decreased by 70%, with most of them being replaced by 'resource transport ships' and 'large exploration ships' without anyone noticing.

Resource transport ships are responsible for the long-distance transfer and distribution of solar system resources, while exploration ships are dispatched to the Oort Cloud outside the Kuiper Belt as sentinels.

Human civilization has only explored one-third of the Kuiper Belt so far, but this does not mean that the distance humans can travel is limited to the Kuiper Belt.

Humans have long since created a faster-than-light 'space curvature engine', and the farthest human journey has reached is the edge of the Oort cloud, which is about one light-year in radius from the Sun.
