Gu Qingshan put aside his communication device and started to use his hands to make a model of a seraph mecha.
Back on Earth, there was a hidden command being given.
“Mission completed. All to retreat.”
The huge, intergalactic battleship fleet left the concert.
The Mecha Battle Group moved away, and the special forces checking the crowd also left quickly.
Su Xue’er put down her communication device and remarked strangely when she saw this sight in front of her. “Didn’t they want to check the crowd? Why are they all leaving now? What’s going on with the Federation?”
The entire concert venue was filled with people who were as puzzled as she was.
Only the young lady standing on the stage gently raised her head and looked into the distant space.
Four hours later.
Gu Qingshan had already quietly returned to Changning Steel Mecha Tech.
He was lying in his room 55 stories below ground and taking a rest.
Continuous, intense work would make even a Qi Refiner Level 5 cultivator like him quite tired, too.
The seraph mecha was already completed, and the Impartiality Goddess would send it for testing before sending it straight to Su Xue’er.
Due to the sensitivity of the technology involved, this mecha could only be used by Su Xue’er and nobody else.
The Impartiality Goddess had made a request to test this mecha out and to ensure that none of the technology was leaked, so she was going to send her own secret forces to protect both the mecha and Su Xue’er.
In that way, Su Xue’er’s safety was guaranteed.
This was a pleasant surprise, and Gu Qingshan happily agreed to this request.
Besides that, all the techniques and technology that he had provided earlier were going to be tidied up by the Impartiality Goddess and made into a classified research result.
Since he had settled Su Xue’er’s birthday present, Gu Qingshan stretched his arms lazily. Then, he sat cross-legged and started to circulate his Spirit Power.
Moving Spirit Power within his body was of great benefit to his limbs and his bones, and it could help to slowly nourish his physical body.
Gu Qingshan slowly entered into a deeper realm of meditation.
At this moment, the whole world was in an uproar.
Many countries made an urgent call to the Federation to ask about why they had suddenly moved so many of their troops.
The president used all his energy to try to hide the real reason and spent a lot of time and effort on convincing each and every country so that they would believe him.
At a casino in Changning County.
The man who wore sunglasses was standing in a hidden room with the beautiful lady he accompanied, and both of them had their eyes fixed on the information coming through from the communication device.
The man exhaled deeply and said, “What a fright. I thought the Federation was declaring war.”
The lady continued to look intensely at the screen. “You believe what the president of the Federation said?”
The man replied with disdain, “These politicians are full of lies. What was that about rehearsing for the Federation’s 300th Union Day military parade? Who would believe him?”
The lady replied, “It’s a full 21 days before the Federation’s 300th Union Day, so that’s a bit of a stretch, all right.”
She then asked him, “But what would have mobilized two intergalactic fortresses, three intergalactic fleets, and the Intergalactic Special Mecha Battle Group all at the same time?”
The man added, “Martial Arts Saint, Zhang Zongyang and Sea Emperor, Li Dongyuan were also mobilized. The two of them were on the frontlines, and the nearest body of water, respectively, for five whole hours, and they’ve both just retreated.”
The two of them exchanged glances and felt that this was very puzzling, indeed.
What happened at the Federation?
At this moment, the communication device suddenly lit up and there was a hoarse, coughing voice on the other end.
Both of them tensed up and immediately straightened up as they greeted together, “Your Majesty.”
The hoarse voice coughed for quite a while before slowly speaking, “Greetings. It’s been hard on two of you out there, especially for my dear princess.”
The lady replied quietly, “Father, this is part of my duty.”
The hoarse voice started laughing and said, “Go and investigate what the Federation is up to. Go find out why they suddenly gathered so much of their military together only to dismiss everything in a matter of a few hours.”
“Got it.”
“By the way, my child, my dear Anna, I will give you the authority to make the final decisions in any crisis. You shall be fully in charge of whatever work you have on hand.”
The authority to make final decisions in a crisis was an authority that only military generals were eligible to receive.
Anna opened her eyes wide, and she tried her best to make her trembling voice sound calm. “Thank you, Father.”
The hoarse voice replied, “So take good care of yourself, and stay safe.”
The call was disconnected after that.
