A vast expanse of land, twice the diameter of Earth, boasting a flawless natural environment, perfect biomes, and rich mineral deposits—especially the astonishingly abundant Zacra Energy Crystal mines. (For reading the full novel, visit .1⑥κ.(1κ.O..)/|() Super-fast updates/|\All data originates from the Sacred Unicorn exploration team attacked by Gu Xichen; this data, analyzed using professional instrumentation, is nearly impossible to fabricate.

Almost every prominent figure in the Earth Federation simultaneously overturned their teacups, each issuing immediate orders to summon all their advisors for emergency meetings.

More visuals flooded the screen: human-head-sized, crystal-clear, top-grade Zacra energy crystals; massive veins of gold existing in their raw, natural nugget form; various rare metal ores of astonishing purity. Coupled with the data analysis provided by professional instruments on these mineral samples—the outrageously high figures were enough to drive anyone insane.

Rivers so clear they seemed bottomless, colossal trees soaring into the clouds, rare flora and fauna that had been extinct on Earth for hundreds of years...

This was a planet capable of driving everyone mad, a world unlike any the Earth Federation or the Romans had ever discovered—absolutely perfect.

Gu Xichen’s voice-over appeared precisely on cue.

“The Hell’s Angels Mercenary Group discovered this planet. According to the Earth Federation’s Interstellar Colonization Act, we assembled a survey team for preliminary assessment. We now possess firsthand intelligence on this world and are preparing to establish an advance base within the limits permitted by Federation law!”

“However, the despicable and shameless Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group infiltrated our ranks with spies. They ambushed our survey team, massacred our comrades, and now seek to monopolize this entire planet.”

The visuals shifted away from the alluring natural scenery and the maddening resource samples. They now focused on the massive camp established by Siren, teeming with giant transport ships constantly taking off and landing. Armed helicopters skimmed low overhead, ground-attack aircraft maneuvered aggressively in the sky, and maglev combat vehicles advanced silently through the dense forest. Over thirty thousand fully armed mercenaries were present... Even more jarring were the slender, pale green Elven warriors weaving through the jungle, leading these troops.

Undoubtedly, the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group had crossed a line. Their actions exceeded the limits the Federation could tolerate. Under the Federation’s regulations, when a social entity discovers a habitable planet, the initial survey team cannot exceed three thousand personnel, and the established advance base may only possess minimal self-defense capabilities, with the armed guard strictly limited to two thousand. Provided these standards are met, that social entity is entitled to one-tenth of the planet’s development rights under Federation law!

The Sacred Unicorns had already stationed an army on this newly discovered world! An army, not a mere ‘guard’! More outrageous still, their military contingent included Elves!

The Chairman of the Earth Federation Council and the Chairman of the Earth Federation Military Command simultaneously shattered their teacups! The Sacred Unicorns’ blatant act was tantamount to treason against the Earth Federation! To attempt to claim exclusive rights to a planet boasting such excellent environmental conditions, immense resource reserves, and infinite value to all humanity—this trampled on the vital interests of every human being. What did the Sacred Unicorns intend? And what did the presence of those Elves signify?

“Traitors! Traitors to humanity!” the Chairman of the Earth Federation Council spat the cold words from between clenched teeth.

“Rioters! An illegal armed organization!” True to his profession, the Chairman of the Military Command swiftly categorized the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group!

The Earth Federation high command could not tolerate a mercenary outfit daring to commit such an audacious act! Monopolizing a planet—and this was the only perfect world discovered in years that required no terraforming for large-scale colonization—violated the fundamental bottom line of every human on Earth!

“All this information was exchanged for the lives of our loyal and brave comrades in the Hell’s Angels Mercenary Group, who were viciously ambushed by the Sacred Unicorns and all perished. I, Evil Dragon, First Deputy Commander of the Hell’s Angels Mercenary Group, call upon the Earth Federation to issue the severest possible punishment for the despicable actions of the Sacred Unicorns.”

“Concurrently, I urgently request the Earth Federation dispatch its fleet immediately to secure this planet—with all possible speed, with all possible speed! Now, I ask everyone to pay attention to the next sequence of footage.”

The scene shifted, revealing the valley discovered by Gu Xichen.

Peach groves, flower fields, pine forests, medicinal gardens, a spectacular sea of purple wisteria, three simple thatched huts, and a peculiar deep well within the mountain's belly.

“Heavens!” Every person in the Earth Federation watching the scene gasped in unison.

“Based on my expertise, this Tadpole Seal script dates back at least five thousand years. Furthermore, this bundle of bamboo slips I hold has been analyzed by professional instruments, confirming its age exceeds eight thousand years.”

Standing at the entrance of the ‘I Go My Way’ cave, Gu Xichen held up the purplish-silver bamboo scroll and spoke fluently: “Eight thousand years ago, human beings from Earth were already present on this planet. Do I need to elaborate on the significance of this? And the dozen or so alloy refining methods recorded on this bamboo scroll possess physical properties superior to the Earth Federation's most advanced specialty alloys today.”

“Dispatch the fleet quickly to secure this planet!” Gu Xichen shouted solemnly in the recording. “This may well be the catalyst for an epochal leap for Earth civilization!”

“Consider this: thousands of years ago, when Earth humans were still in the age of subsistence farming, someone traversed the vastness of space to arrive here. What does that imply?”

“Who were they? What power did they wield? Why did they come here? How did they arrive? What significance does all this, all of it, hold for us?”

Countless exclamations erupted from the secret headquarters of the Asian Alliance, followed by a cascade of further cries echoing from numerous famous mountains and vast rivers across East Asia.

In the footage, Gu Xichen’s face contorted with grim determination as he delivered the final verdict against the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group: “The Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group—their actions betray all of humanity!”

Somewhere on Earth, the commander of the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group spat blood and collapsed.

“I deeply regret using this public channel to broadcast such crucial intelligence in this manner, but I am currently utilizing a communication device belonging to the Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Group. Besides their encrypted channel, this forcibly installed public channel is the only one available to me.”

Gu Xichen bowed deeply to the camera. “Therefore, I am aware this intelligence may have already been intercepted by the Romans, and their fleet may already be mobilizing. Thus, I implore the Federation fleet to move with haste... On behalf of all my Hell’s Angels comrades who sacrificed their lives for humanity’s future on this planet, I beg you: do not let their blood flow in vain!”

Inside the Hell’s Angels Mercenary Group’s ice cap base, the bearded commander wept with joy, waving his arms excitedly, his face flushed.

“Damn them! Our mercenary group is set for life this time! Sacred Unicorns, you’ve truly run into rotten luck!”

Gu Xichen slipped out of Siren’s camp without anyone’s notice. He shed his uniform, donned his Daoist robes once more, and followed a faint psychic tether to locate Xin Jia.

Fifteen minutes later, the massive transport ship docked in a corner of Siren’s camp exploded and self-destructed without warning. Eighteen large engine units detonated simultaneously, the violent shockwave nearly flattening the entire camp. Thousands of the wounded and sick inside the transport, along with nearly ten thousand mercenaries in more than half the camp, were vaporized in the all-consuming blaze.

Over fifty ground-attack aircraft, more than twenty armed helicopters, several assault speeders stationed outside the atmosphere, and six fully loaded transport ships—all war machines manufactured by the Gu Corporation and controlled by Pangu series master computers—simultaneously self-destructed. The fiery blast from the giant transport ship exploding above the atmosphere was clearly visible even to those on the ground.

Siren, still relentlessly pursuing the ‘Gu Xichen’ in the dense forest, was stunned speechless. Aredia stood dumbfounded. The white-robed fighters of the Dawn Squad were utterly paralyzed!

Above them, the sky was illuminated by the continuous explosions of the transport ships, punctuated by the faint rumble of thunder descending from high altitude.

The pillar of fire and smoke rising over a hundred kilometers behind them confirmed that the camp had also suffered a catastrophic blow. The tremors vibrating up from the ground told Siren that the explosions at the camp were devastating.

Gu Xichen traversed the jungle with a captivating smile, cheerfully telling Xin Jia, “Alright, all we have to do now is wait quietly.”

“The piece of prime meat that belongs to us, the Hell’s Angels, is now certainly secured. And the Sacred Unicorns facing ruin? That’s also a certainty.”

“As for the Romans, well... there’s only one wormhole allowing ingress and egress. The Federation Military Command can’t possibly be so incompetent, can they? To fail to guard a single entrance and exit? In that case, it’s hardly my fault.”

Xin Jia grinned broadly, following Gu Xichen through the forest, diligently carrying the cannon and a stack of ammunition.

What Gu Xichen didn't know was that his broadcast on the public channel had not only thrown the Earth Federation into chaos, but the Roman side was in an even greater uproar.

Absolute mayhem!
