I Have A Martial Dao World

By the time Lu Yao had again ignited the "Shenque Acupoint," which is the navel, it was the very day the international conference of the nine nations was to commence.

Generally, for such a major international conference, arriving two days in advance would be the norm.

Yet, at this point, he still had not set out, but instead leisurely made his way to the Imperial Palace. There, he infused Li Pei's Magical Treasure—the Imperial Jade Seal—with an immense amount of Divine Thought.

This was a prep for "recharging," so that his beloved could watch the live broadcast through the method of Spirit Refinement.

Having just annexed Izumo and buried under a pile of affairs, Li Pei could not leave the Imperial Palace, so a dedicated "live broadcast link" was set up just for her.

It didn't take long to finish imbuing the Divine Thought. Lu Yao, still with a grin on his face, said,

"Peipei, help me write a 'Proclamation of War to the World,' make it domineering. Include all the powerful countries like England, France, America, and seal it with the Imperial Jade Seal."

"..."

Upon hearing this request, Li Pei was speechless, realizing that her husband was planning something quite significant.

But the man before her was a god among men who had walked upon the sun. She only hesitated for a brief moment before she began to write.

[The Western Powers, relying on our nation's benevolence, have become increasingly arrogant and rampant. They have repeatedly bullied our country, seized our land, ravaged our people, extorted our wealth, worsening day by day, showing no restraint...]

For some reason, Li Pei's thoughts flowed like a spring, and her pen moved as if endowed with divine guidance, as if copying something dictated by an unseen force, then she stamped the document with the Imperial Jade Seal, the Magical Treasure.

The ordinary piece of paper faintly shimmered with light, now blessed by the Dynasty's Will, transcending the mundane.

Lu Yao picked it up and looked over it, quite satisfied, "Well written~"

Li Pei smiled, urging him, "You should hurry on your way, lest you miss the appointed time."

In international affairs, dignity mattered. Since he had promised to attend, he had to be punctual. Only rogue and minor nations would go back on their word.

Lu Yao nodded, ready to leave, but at that moment, Prime Minister Zhang Wenda and the ministers of the Six Ministries hurried over.

After the annexation of Izumo, the Imperial Court was not the only entity that was busy; the entire government was operating at full capacity, even overloaded.

The group of officials all wore an unmistakable look of exhaustion, but in their hearts, they were exhilarated!

The war that extinguished a nation would go down in history, and besides, Izumo was an industrialized nation—the benefits were simply too great!

Everyone in the Yi Dynasty had reaped rewards from it, so despite international pressures calling for the "Yi Dynasty to withdraw its troops from Izumo," the whole court, both civil and military officials, would never agree!

This international conference of the nine nations had also attracted widespread attention from both inside and outside the dynasty.

As Lu Yao stated he needed no entourage, naturally, no one dared to say more. The high-ranking officials all assumed the Celestial Lord would fly there by himself.

So, seeing him here was utterly shocking for everyone, "Celestial Lord... why have you not departed?!"

It was already close to eight o'clock in the morning, with only one hour left before the "international conference of the nine nations" was to start. Spanning 20,000 li, even if one could fly, it was too late!

In their surprise, the Minister of Rites—Li Zhongtang, caught sight of the paper in Lu Yao's hand.

The seal of the Imperial Jade Seal was too conspicuous. Once he saw the title "Proclamation of War to the World," Minister Li nearly fainted away, but Zhang Wenda, with swift reflexes, steadied him.

Then the Prime Minister followed the other's gaze and saw the content on the paper, and was instantly speechless!

Lu Yao put away the proclamation, saying, "Everyone relax, I won't be late. I shall leave now."

With these words, he walked straight out of the palace and levitated into the air.

At this moment, a hundred Aperture Points on his body ignited simultaneously, the tremendous energy converging into an overwhelming surge of power!

But with a "boom," a sound barrier explosion burst around Lu Yao as he soared into the sky!

When he reached a higher altitude, another deafening "bang" resounded like thunder on a clear day.

Lu Yao instantly accelerated to six times the speed of sound, disappearing into the ether so fast that he left behind only a vast ring of white shockwaves spreading slowly in the high sky.

The eunuchs and palace maids inside the Imperial Palace looked up and around, clueless about what had just happened.

Zhang Wenda and the rest of the high-ranking officials stared at Lu Yao's exaggerated way of rushing to the scene, speechless and astounded.

However, Li Pei, who had traveled all over Blue Star and gained a lot of knowledge, immediately realized: his lord was traveling in the manner of an "intercontinental ballistic missile" and would probably arrive in about half an hour.

At that moment, Zhang Wenda and the other high-ranking officials still had a dumbfounded look; they had countless things to say but didn't know where to start.

After some thought, Li Pei simply said, "Call over the officials of third rank and above, let's watch the live broadcast of the International Conference together."

A magnificent light shot out from the "Imperial Jade Seal," and suddenly a holographic image appeared in mid-air!

~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, across the ocean at the capital of the Menes Federation.

The leaders of the United States, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, as well as the Yi Dynasty and the Izumo Exile Government, were all set to hold the "International Conference."

As each head of state arrived by car, cheers erupted from the enthusiastic crowds lining the streets, with flashes from photographers and reporters' interviews adding to the grand atmosphere.

Not all of these people were shills hired by the Menes government. Most had come spontaneously, reflecting the federal spirit of the people in this age.

Among them, there were also many Divine Land people with black hair and eyes, clearly out of place with the surrounding environment.

These included reporters from major newspapers, representatives of merchant associations, and immigrants who, for various reasons, settled here in earlier years.

The latter were full of emotion at the sudden rise of the Divine Land but also somewhat incredulous—how could things have changed so drastically in just a few years?

However, as time ticked by, their hearts grew cold—why hadn't Lord Lu Tian arrived yet?

Westerners, who considered themselves "conquerors," have always looked down upon Divine Land and greatly discriminated against people of the yellow race.

At this point, other spectators had already started cursing in this direction, especially werewolves, known for their volatile nature, who were even making throat-slitting gestures after transforming.

The heads of state were also very dissatisfied.

Prime Minister Frandi, Clementeau, furrowed his brow and said, "Didn't the Yi Dynasty officially state they would attend? Isn't their deputy coming either?"

Prime Minister Einheit, Chamberlain, sarcastically remarked, "Typical of the Shina barbarians, utterly ignorant of etiquette!"

President Lincoln, on the other hand, was indifferent; after all, the main goal was to reach an agreement with the other strong nations and establish a new international order under the Washington system.

It didn't matter much whether Lu Yao came or not; there would be a joint declaration signed by all nations, issuing a final ultimatum to him.

All the powerful countries of the world united, and even gods must obey their collective will!

But at that moment, all the heads of state looked up at the sky as a fiery red meteorite appeared on the horizon!

Soon the public also saw the blazing light with its long tail, and pandemonium broke out.

Fortunately, there were many powerful individuals on site who sensed the oddity of this meteorite, with a person faintly visible within it, so they took action to stabilize the situation.

The arrivals were indeed Lu Yao!

Like an intercontinental ballistic missile, he soared into the stratosphere where, without air resistance, he instantly reached 20 times the speed of sound before plummeting toward his target.

It took him only half an hour to reach the other side of the ocean!

Now, as Lu Yao descended from the sky, he crashed onto the plaza in front of the White House with a thunderous roar, creating a crater as large as a basketball court!

He calmly walked out of the crater, cordially greeting the people around him, "Hello everyone, nice to meet you, I am Lu Yao."

His entrance was violent, yet his demeanor was as gentle as jade.

Some of the public wanted to boo and hurl insults, but their bodies wouldn't comply, as though the act they intended to perform was akin to jumping off a cliff, restrained by instinct.

The heads of state were even more chilled to the core! At that moment, their senses were screaming warnings—the man before them was extremely dangerous!
