Chapter 691: 690. Opening
"During the Nine-Nation Conference," Princess Carolina of Illyria did not sign the 'Declaration of War on All Nations,' so Lu Yao spared her life.
With this woman acting as an undercover informant, Lu Yao quickly learned of the three Primordial Ancestors' whereabouts and the major powers' battle plans.
He was indifferent to the aircraft carriers and planes, but he was astonished that the United Kingdom actually had an atomic bomb.
"Ahead of the original historical progression by 20 years, Otherworld truly put all their talents into killing machines."
Li Pei had seen nuclear bombs on Blue Star and knew well their power.
At this moment, with a frown on his brow, he advised, "My lord, should we call back Ping An and the others? That way, we wouldn't have to worry about air attacks."
Lu Yao said with a laugh, "Peipei, this is no big deal; there's no need for such fuss."
He raised his hand and pointed, and a toy-like boat model in the wind grew larger, becoming a Creation Immortal Boat that was even bigger than an aircraft carrier, spanning the sky.
At the same time, a Golden Dragon over a hundred meters in length gave a majestic roar and soared freely.
Following that, the Yin Yang Twin Swords shot out, chasing each other at thrice the speed of sound, and scattered clouds in their wake.
Even the Blade of Freedom, which had lost its host and had greatly diminished power, went out for a couple of laps.
These Magical Treasures roamed freely in the sky, not at all like lifeless objects, but rather quite spirited, as if alive.
"With these Magical Treasures, the cunning plots of the major powers will pose no threat."
Lu Yao had full confidence in his Magical Treasures.
After contemplating the mysteries of crafting Magical Treasures, he had a deeper understanding of the connection between spirit, will, intent, and Magical Treasures and was advancing toward the Law Elemental Spirit.
The Magical Treasures, empowered by his Divine Thought, could not only fly at supersonic speeds but had also gained a hint of 'inherent spirituality.' They could autonomously seek and annihilate enemies, essentially serving as an all-weather intelligent anti-aircraft system.
The propeller planes of World War II, no matter how many came, would be no match.
And Lu Yao had more than just Magical Treasures.
At this point, Fran spoke up, "I can also help. I've seen airplanes; they are slow and pose no threat."
Ali chimed in, "Celestial Lord, I too am willing to contribute my strength! Back in Izumo, my Flying Sword brought down airplanes. Oh—and I can also invite the Demon Race of flying beasts to join the fight."
Lu Yao patted the cat woman's little head and smiled, "Thank you, I won't be shy to ask if needed."
With so much support, their defense would surely be as solid as gold.
Lu Yao then said, "Next, you all handle the defense, and I will take the initiative to strike, first eliminating the fleets of England and the United States..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly received a Mind Communication from Xuan Gui Great Saint.
Spanning over 7,000 kilometers, Mind Communication required a tremendous amount of energy, signaling that something important must have happened.
Lu Yao quickly connected and communicated with the other party.
"Great Saint, long time no see."
...
"Ah, is that so? Thank you very much."
...
"I shall pay a visit another day."
...
After ending the communication, facing the curious gazes of the beauties around him, Lu Yao smiled and explained:
"It's good news. Xuan Gui Great Saint has annihilated Einheit's aircraft carrier fleet and triggered heavy rain and a tsunami, sweeping away multiple airports in Tianzhu and Hongsha Country."
This was equivalent to cutting off one of the enemy's arms, and Lu Yao had not even taken action yet.
Everyone was very pleased, and Li Pei sincerely said, "My lord's heart cares for the common people, and his spirit engulfs mountains and rivers, so of course he will 'receive help from following the path'."
Lu Yao said solemnly, "If that is the case, it wouldn't be good to let Xuan Gui Great Saint take all the credit. I'll head to Hawaii right away, destroy the Federation's Pacific Fleet, and let the schemes of the great powers collapse completely."
The ladies immediately stepped forward. Liao Ya was the first to say, "Let's go together. Leave the small fry to us; you need to conserve your energy to deal with formidable enemies."
Yu Yanmei also said, "Lu Xiaozi, Xuan Gui Great Saint's actions are akin to startling the snake in the grass, and you are very likely to encounter a Primordial Ancestor on your journey. Your endurance is not as great as theirs, so do not be careless."
The two always cuddled together after being intimate to discuss cultivation, and she knew that her little man was somewhat troubled by the issue of excessive consumption in the Primordial Realm.
Especially as the Nuclear Fusion Acupoints became more numerous, the problem became increasingly apparent. After all, maintaining hundreds of stars inside one's body is no small consumption of True Qi.
However, this was an issue of cultivation that needed to be resolved over time.
At this moment, seeing the steadfast expressions of the group of women, and considering that slaughter is the best catalyst for Martial Path, Lu Yao readily agreed:
"Then let's go together. But if we encounter enemies of Primordial Ancestor level, do not engage them in combat."
Therefore, leaving Fran and Ali to look after the home, Lu Yao set off towards Hawaii on the Creation Immortal Boat with his four ladies.
Commoners along the way were suddenly blocked by a huge shadow, looked up to see the Celestial Lord's Fairy Boat, and immediately began cheering and celebrating, with some even kneeling to pray and bow.

Hawaii
The beautiful Pearl Harbor, the largest and best anchorage in the North Pacific Islands, is also the base of the Federation fleet.
In recent days, aircraft carriers, battleships, and other massive ships have been entering every day.
Countless sea birds squawk as they follow closely behind, pecking at the stunned fish from the propellers.
As far as the eye can see, there are already more than ten aircraft carriers, over fifteen battleships and cruisers, and countless destroyers.
The size of the fleet far exceeds the United Kingdom's carrier battle group, which also represents the industrial capacity of the Menes Federation, already far surpassing the Empire of the Eternal Sun.
Moreover, the Otherworld is currently in the exploratory phase regarding aircraft carriers, with Federation carriers of various odd and peculiar designs seen moored in the harbor.
There were those like the USS Enterprise and USS Lexington, which closely resembled modern aircraft carriers; and some that were converted from coal ships, looking like giant building blocks from a distance.
Federation soldiers were running drills under the hot sun, chanting cadences as their sergeant majors shouted:
"You little bastards, perk up! Let the executioners who killed the President pay with their blood—blood for blood!"
The soldiers roared together: "Blood for blood!"
As they chanted cadences and ran into the distance, the newly appointed President Johnson of the Federation frowned slightly, conscious of the immense prestige his predecessor still commanded even in death.
"But it's also perfect for boosting the morale of the people. Otherwise, how could the lowly mortals dare to attack the deities?"
Johnson looked towards the distant behemoth ships with an elegant smile, "Of course, we must also thank the power of science, for giving ants some role in war. To partake in the war between deities, even death would be without regrets."
While he indulged in his deep affection, suddenly urgent footsteps approached.
A colonel came over with a telegram: "Mr. President, there's an urgent message from England."
Johnson took it and glanced at it, his expression turning ugly.
"A super-giant sea monster in the Indian Ocean? And it attacked the United Kingdom's carrier battle group?"
Before the ships sank, they transmitted some information via telegram, from which analysts made the above judgment.
Johnson pondered for a moment, about to say something, when suddenly an ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the base!
No need to ask what happened, as anyone could clearly see a tremendously huge battleship in the sky, ominously bearing down on them!
