Chapter 1 The Great

How many lives on Blue Star can now be called "great"?

Among the sea beasts, the Sea Demon is dead.

In the ancient civilization, only four apostles remain, and among them, perhaps only the Earth Apostle meets this condition.

As for human civilization...

As the leader of humanity, if it hadn't been for Li Tianran's intervention, the human world might have already been completely destroyed, leaving only Kuangxi Island to survive alone.

Although he didn't think he could be called "great," there didn't seem to be any other candidates in the human world.

"..." Li Tianran slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Whether the sixth Age of Destruction pointed to the Earth Apostle or him, this result was unacceptable to him.

He had to increase his power to the extreme before it all happened.

That is... upgrade to a level 5 shelter!

"There are still two months, no need to rush..." Li Tianran raised his head and looked out the window. The world was already undergoing earth-shattering changes. He seemed to have already seen those violent ancient civilization followers, fully armed, surging out from under the sea and heading towards the human world: "What needs to be solved now are the visible enemies!"

...

Above the vast ocean, two miracle buildings slowly rose, breaking through the sea surface and recklessly exposing themselves to the sunlight.

At the same time, a large number of hatches opened in the miracle buildings, and beams of light soared into the sky, piercing the atmosphere and heading straight into the starry sky!

The light dissipated, and a large number of strangely shaped mechanical combinations appeared in the starry sky, almost covering the entire surface of Blue Star.

It turned out to be a large number of satellites!

These satellites numbered more than 100,000, sealing off the entire surface of Blue Star. As the start indicator lights lit up, these satellites began to enter a fixed orbit and operate normally.

Since the birth of human civilization, a total of more than 4,000 satellites have been launched into space, but none have ever been successfully recovered.

Because humans do not have this level of technology.

Even after Li Tianran became the leader of humanity, he only increased the number of satellites to more than 6,000. However, these more than 6,000 satellites could already meet the needs of monitoring, combat, and communication on the entire surface of Blue Star!

But the ancient civilization launched as many as 100,000 satellites from just two miracle buildings. It was hard to imagine how much help these satellites could provide them in controlling Blue Star!

Perhaps from the time the ancient civilization revived, even how many grains of rice Li Tianran ate for a meal would be closely monitored by the ancient civilization, and every word he said would be transmitted to the Star and Night Apostles in the next moment.

In the starry sky, after the satellites launched by the miracle buildings began to operate, some entered the same orbit as human satellites. They slowly rotated in the starry sky, and collisions inevitably occurred.

A human weather detection satellite slowly rotated according to its original orbit, and in front of it, an ancient civilization satellite flashing with golden luster crashed over at an extremely high speed.

The two soon collided.

There was no sound, no pause, and no explosive light. At the first instant of contact, the human civilization satellite was smashed into pieces.

The ancient civilization satellite was unscathed, passing through the fragments and barbarously occupying the orbit for itself.

Similar situations were still happening one after another.

The satellites of the ancient civilization seemed to be extremely aggressive, and the materials they were built from far surpassed those of human satellites. They were like a herd of mad bison, rushing and colliding in the starry sky. In just three minutes, more than eight hundred human satellites were smashed and disintegrated, becoming countless pieces of space junk!

"Tianxing-3 satellite lost communication!"

"Poseidon satellite encountered an attack and lost communication..."

Continuous alarms reached Li Tianran's ears, and the human alliance headquarters where he was located also became lively. A large number of staff members were counting the number of damaged satellites. A large number of split-screen monitors in front of them were blacking out one after another, losing communication!

The human defense army also sent the latest news: a large number of beast tides were gathering and approaching the defense wall, and they seemed to have the intention of attacking again.

Because a large number of satellites were damaged, the garrison troops could not detect whether there were second-stage evolved followers mixed in with the beast tide, so they did not dare to issue an attack order easily, and therefore sent an inquiry signal to headquarters.

Li Tianran listened to the news from all over the world, and he was mentally prepared for this situation.

As a large number of satellites rose into the sky, heavy aircraft drove out of the two miracle buildings located on the sea again. They were numerous, took off, and headed towards the distant land.

Those aircraft landed on the ground and quickly changed their shape, transforming into a steel city!

This scene was like the base car deployment in Red Alert, full of technology.

Soon, a large number of metallic spider-like robots poured out of those steel cities. They spread around like a tide, quickly developing an extremely flat ground. Then, they erected signal towers, built factories...

All of this was extremely similar to the game screen, and those large-scale buildings appeared in an instant.

On this desolate land, a city rose from the ground in just a dozen seconds. In the center of the city, the flag symbolizing the Star Apostle clan slowly rose, fluttering in the wind, as if declaring its sovereignty!

These steel cities were connected together, quickly occupying a large area of land. The ruins of former human cities were quickly cleared, replaced by cities printed with the marks of the ancient civilization.

These cities were connected not only on land, but also in the ocean.

Outside the human defense line, such cities continued to rise from the ground, spreading like a plague to the human defense line, almost covering half of Blue Star!

"Are they trying to compete with me for sovereignty over the land?" Li Tianran murmured to himself as he listened to the information from the intelligence department. Now, with the full revival of the ancient civilization, the resource surge period had also appeared. In this case, the more territory occupied, the more resources that could be mined and used.

In other words, from today onwards, the war between human civilization and ancient civilization would be further upgraded. Human civilization could no longer continue to huddle within the defense line seeking survival, but must actively attack outside the defense line and seize more control of land and sea from the ancient civilization. Only in this way could it be guaranteed that more benefits would be obtained during the resource surge period, so as to gain a greater advantage in future wars and slowly suppress the opponent like a snowball.

Otherwise, they would be crushed by the opponent!
