The invasion from the other realm occurred in the second month after the death of the Angel King.
At that time.
The United States was hosting a grand banquet.
To celebrate the birth of the tenth Saint of the United States.
This meant that a total of ten immortal beings belonged to the United States.
While all other countries combined only had about ten.
Furthermore.
These Saints of the United States were not those who had barely managed to advance.
Whether in terms of their domains, laws, or divine abilities and treasures.
They were all top-tier existences among players.
Even the newly ascended Saint, in order to establish his authority.
Manifested his domain into reality and fought two on one, easily defeating the combined might of the two Saints from the Sakura Country.
This shocked the world.
And made the players of Water Blue Star realize that cultivation realms were not everything.
There were other influencing factors.
This battle also generated considerable subtle influence.
Strong individuals from other countries began traveling to the United States for sparring matches.
But without exception.
Without the enhancement of their domains, they were no match for Saints of the same cultivation level who possessed domains.
They were constantly restricted and suppressed.
Soon.
There were no longer such overconfident individuals.
Instead, some smaller countries began to collectively relocate to the United States.
And the ruling class of the United States seemed pleased with this development.
Originally, as players gradually improved, not only did the overall spiritual energy of Water Blue Star increase, but the environment also began to change.
Not only did the inland regions become more suitable for human survival.
But even the ocean regions, mountain ranges, and dense forest areas.
These areas, which humans had not fully conquered and could only explore on a small scale, also underwent tremendous changes.
Slowly becoming areas for human habitation.
Therefore, although these newcomers were arriving in an endless stream.
They were still well accommodated by the United States.
Their territory expanded further and further.
Constantly driven by exploration and development.
Their land area quickly surpassed that of China, which was originally vast.
And it continued to expand.
The gradually increasing land area, along with the surrender and integration of many former smaller countries.
Led to the continuous growth of the United States' strength.
Not only in individual strength, but also in overall strength.
They completely surged ahead, leaving all other countries far behind.
Some people even began to advocate for the United States to become the strongest nation on all of Water Blue Star, and for all humanity to merge together.
To better consolidate strength and resist the alien races.
Some countries implicitly expressed their agreement.
Of course, some countries also expressed their opposition.
The Sakura Country and the Gaoli Country were the first to step forward, claiming they could not accept the leadership of the United States.
As for the players from China, they directly stated that the United States was only temporarily the first.
In terms of individual strength.
Every member of the God of War Squad was no weaker than the Saints of the United States.
In terms of overall strength, although the number of Saints in China was extremely scarce, currently only three.
This was because most of the top players had followed Lin Feng's advice and had not advanced.
It was not a lack of strength.
As long as these individuals advanced at the appropriate time, the number of Saints would quickly surpass that of the United States.
Moreover.
Even in their current state.
China still had hundreds of combat powers at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, their strength not necessarily inferior to that of the United States.
On the side of the United States, they immediately made a statement.
Announcing that their ten Saints would form a team and collectively visit China.
To discuss Water Blue Star's defense measures with China's high-end combat forces and conduct joint exercises.
This move excited everyone on Water Blue Star.
Anyone with a brain could see that this was not a mere discussion or exercise.
It was clearly a challenge, or even an outright confrontation.
Since you in China are not convinced, let's have a real fight.
And see who is the most powerful nation and force on Water Blue Star!
And just as the delegation from the United States, traveling in an exaggeratedly shaped and enormous airship, arrived in China.
The invasion from the other realm suddenly came.
At that time.
When the United States docked this airship at the Zhoushan Port in China, it caused a huge sensation.
Although at the Saint stage, one could already ignore the weather and fly freely.
Their speed and maneuverability far surpassed that of mortals.
However, having a mode of transportation was still more comfortable.
This airship, clearly not ordinary, immediately piqued the interest of many.
The delegation from the United States did not hide anything.
Instead, they openly invited the media who had rushed to the scene to come in for a tour and filming.
Even.
They specifically sent someone to introduce it to these media outlets.
"This [Noah's Ark] is the designated transport for our delegation. Not only is it extremely fast, taking only three minutes to travel from our country to China, but its defense is also quite impressive."
A reporter from a photo agency, with keen insight, asked, "How impressive is its defense?"
The spokesperson from the United States chuckled and said, "Its original defenses can withstand attacks equivalent to those of an Epic Saint."
"If it were the Angel King's strength from last time, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to breach this treasure."
His words made the reporter's eyes light up.
"In that case, as long as we are inside this [Noah's Ark], we will no longer fear attacks from the other realm?"
The spokesperson from the United States nodded.
"Not only that."
"While the Angel King was powerful, he still fell to the God of War Squad. The other realm will surely have even more powerful trump cards."
Seeing the reporter's slight worry, he continued.
"However, there's no need to fear."
"What I just mentioned was its inherent defensive capability in its un-controlled state."
"If it is piloted, it can combine its power with that of those inside to further enhance its defenses."
"At its peak, it can withstand the full force of a Mythic Saint's attack."
Mythic Saint!
The reporter's eyes widened, and he exclaimed.
"In the game, the highest level is only Mythic Saint, and there are very few of them. It is said that there are only a handful of such existences in the entire game."
"If this treasure has such defensive capabilities, does it mean humanity is already invincible?"
The spokesperson from the United States first nodded, then shook his head.
"It's not that humanity is invincible."
"It's only those who are inside the [Noah's Defense] who can be."
The reporter looked on with longing.
"Truly a powerful treasure, worthy of being a product of the United States."
"What level would such a treasure be?"
"A congenital spiritual treasure or a congenital supreme treasure?"
He cautiously used a few high-end terms he had heard to probe.
The spokesperson from the United States shook his head mysteriously.
"It's not wrong to call it a congenital supreme treasure."
"However, if piloted, and if our country's Saints collectively exert their power, it can even briefly surpass this level and reach the power of a pseudo-heaven-opening spiritual treasure."
The reporter's eyes widened in amazement.
Even with the "pseudo" prefix, "heaven-opening spiritual treasure" sounded incredibly high-end and impressive.
"It's truly hard to imagine..."
He looked envious.
His mind was already stirring with thoughts.
The last time the Angel King merely swept across Water Blue Star.
The residual energy from his movements caused immense damage to many areas.
Countless humans lost their lives as a result.
Among them was his wife, whom he had recently married.
This brought him immense pain.
Therefore, after the battle fully commenced, in addition to working frantically in the game to improve himself.
He also continued his career as a reporter in reality.
He wanted to personally witness the scene of the monsters from the other realm being killed and falling at his feet.
To console his wounded soul.
And to mourn his deceased wife.
During this period, he had encountered numerous dangers outside.
Even with the defensive treasures provided by his country's high-level officials and gifted by other countries.
He still felt constant fear and the risk of losing his life.
And now.
He seemed to have found a peerless treasure that could guarantee his safety?
His heart burned with desire.
He wondered if, by applying to be transferred to the United States branch.
He might have a chance to leave his own country and join the United States.
With his current fame and influence.
Might he also have a chance to live permanently on this [Noah's Ark]?
At that time.
He could safely observe the battles up close and report live to all of humanity on Water Blue Star.
Not only would it alleviate the pain of his wife's death.
But it would also satisfy his sense of accomplishment.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Just as he was lost in his fantasy.
Boom!
A sudden shake jolted him awake.
He saw the spokesperson from the United States across from him turn pale.
And shout.
"Strong enemy invasion!"
"Activate defensive mechanisms, all personnel to their stations."
With that, he vanished in a flash.
The reporter was terrified.
The person who had just explained things to him was actually a Saint?
Forgetting his honor and excitement.
His mind was filled with the words the spokesperson had just spoken.
Strong enemy invasion?
Was this the attack from the other realm again?
He became excited.
Alien strong enemy vs. pseudo-heaven-opening spiritual treasure Noah's Ark.
This would be good viewing!
His eyes narrowed, and he lightly waved his hands.
The small camera behind him automatically floated forward.
Instantly, his figure and the filming equipment sped forward together.
He couldn't help but roar in his heart.
"You bastards from the other realm, witness our power!"
