2017, June 17th, Earth.

Half a week had passed since the alien spaceship crashed on Earth.

This contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life could not be said to be perfect, but at least it had a decent ending. In any case, the spaceship that fell from the sky had undeniably shown the existence of 'intelligent aliens' to everyone in the world.

Of course, in the short term, the spread of this news did cause minor disturbances and panic in various places. Many people, fearing an alien invasion, emptied supermarket shelves of food and drinking water, which in turn spurred others who weren't panicking to start buying as well… However, with the intervention of national forces, this panic was quickly suppressed, and various alien science programs appeared, occupying most of the screens in recent times.

At the same time, curiosity about the 'stars' was also subtly instilled in people's minds through various hints and suggestions in such propaganda.

"Confined to Earth, accompanied by numerous realms… continuing like this will only lead to becoming another civilization of immortals and gods."

The Sage of Culture, who delivered the speech, stated this. The old man spoke simply and understandably: "Otherworldly realms, the Milky Way, we want them all. And this encounter with the 'Talin' is our opportunity to step into the sea of stars."

Subsequently, the Sage of Industry and the Sage of War announced the next 'Four Five-Year Plans', striving to gradually build a complete set of cosmic industrial facilities within twenty years, and to launch a series of orbital space station construction plans.

It sounded exaggerated, but in reality, it wasn't—because these four Five-Year Plans did not take into account the growth of transcendents. In fact, if a Hegemon-level 'Earth Immortal' took action, achieving this goal could be said to be a piece of cake.

Of course, compared to these overly ambitious goals, the majority of people were more concerned with the strength that various countries had displayed in this 'crisis'.

All countries around the world nominally contributed, but in reality, only the four permanent members of the Security Council and a few scattered countries they led made any real contribution.

And among the four permanent members, naturally, the Zhen Country (lit. Proper Country) side, or rather, Su Zhou alone, contributed the most.

The giant dragon transformed into a cosmic battle form. After the official release of the clear recording of him preventing the spaceship from crashing, it caused an uproar on the internet—although, Su Zhou didn't burst out with a cool line like 'It's just a spaceship, watch me push it back!' like in an animated movie before pushing the spaceship back into outer space.

But the breath that pierced through the atmosphere and directly shattered the spaceship was enough to prove his terrifying spiritual power reserves and destructive power.

"Su Haiwang's (lit. Su Sea King) attack has at least the power of a nuclear bomb, right?"

In some transcendent forums, similar topics had been hot in recent days, with no shortage of Zhen Country netizens vigorously boasting: "If this breath swept horizontally across a city, it could probably level the entire city!"

"Speaking of which, what kind of dragon is this? The shape is too modern. The wings are actually detachable. I was dumbfounded when I saw it!"

"Shocking! Who would have thought that a video of an alien war with a divine dragon would be exposed! Delete it anytime! Watch it quickly!"

Of course, with combat power displays, there would naturally be combat power enthusiasts arguing with each other.

"Su Zhou will definitely defeat other commander-level transcendents!"

"If Su Zhou enters the XX world, what would his status be? Rational discussion."

"If they were of the same rank, who would be stronger, Su Zhou or the great divine dragons in mythology?"

"Not pretending anymore, Su Zhou's ten-year-old fan comes uninvited. Based on Su Haiwang's performance this time, I think Su Zhou will definitely defeat all the divine dragons in mythology."

Similar questions and answers were endless, and the resulting debates and flame wars were even more lively, bringing a lot of traffic and popularity, making the major forums overjoyed. Topics related to Su Zhou were defined as exclusive for gaining experience quickly. As long as they appeared, they could quickly reach a hundred floors.

Of course, since there were netizens who cared about current affairs, there were naturally also people who were indifferent to them.

Hong City, Shao family mansion.

"I say, Brother Zhou's true form is too similar to the card I drew, right?"

Today was the day for all universities in Zhen Country to conduct final physical examinations to test changes in students' spiritual talent—spiritual talent is not static. After several years of research, related scholars have found that a person's aptitude will gradually improve or worsen with acquired education. The reason for this change is not yet clear, but it is speculated to be related to the density of information contained in the soul. Whether the overall talent of students in a school rises upward has also become a key factor in judging the quality of the school.

Shao Shuangyue's test results were also steadily upward, in line with the average value. After the physical examination ended, before going home to start reviewing, she first picked up her phone and prepared to brush up on the daily activity tasks of *Old Days Ark*.

However, when her gaze focused on the 'Legendary Rainbow Card' that she had drawn a few days ago, at the moment when the alien spaceship landed, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of doubt in her eyes: "Moreover, this name is also very similar."

The card information on the phone could be seen.

【Celestial Divine Dragon·Zhu Zhou (Chaos Faction·Legendary Rainbow Card)】

【7 Sanity, 4 Attack, 12 Health, Taunt】

【Overture: Destroy two points of the summoner's sanity limit】

【Finale: When leaving the field, summon a 'Head of Zhu Zhou' onto the field and give it Taunt.】

【—A chaotic divine dragon that descended from beyond the sky. It is said to possess an immortal body, can distinguish between good and evil, and can bestow heavenly punishment on those who are possessed.】

【However, no one knows who gave it this authority.】

The huge white divine dragon stood in a blizzard, surrounded by thunder and purple-cyan spiritual light, with a quiet girl with white hair and red eyes sitting on its shoulder.

【Head of Zhu Zhou (Chaos Faction·Legendary Rainbow Card)】

【5 Sanity, 3 Attack, 7 Health】

【Chain: At the end of the round, if a dragon-type creature dies on either side of the field, then at the start of the enemy's round, summon a 'Celestial Divine Dragon·Zhu Zhou' onto the field.】

【—The head of the divine dragon, the condensation of immortal power. For the wicked, if it cannot be completely killed, then Zhu Zhou will return countless times like a nightmare, inflicting judgment.】

【However, the divine dragon that steals the lives of others, perhaps it is also a kind of evil?】

The half-opened eyes of the head of the divine dragon were slowly awakening on the corpse of a mountain-like giant serpent.

【Dragon Ball, Neutral Magic Card】

【0 Sanity】

【Consume all your remaining sanity to randomly summon a dragon-type creature with the same cost as the consumed sanity】

【—Entrust it. Entrust your wishes and life. The dragon ball responds to everything.】

"Could it be that the *Old Days Ark* production team referred to Brother Zhou's true form material? It's not impossible. After all, I heard him complain last time that the organization was not easy to lead, and it was really troublesome to get sponsorship..."

Thinking like this, Shao Shuangyue was troubled for a while, then shrugged and started doing daily tasks: "Whatever, it's enough if the game is fun."

At the same time.

2017, June 17th, 12:11 p.m.

Coastal area of New Zealand, dark clouds covering the sky and the earth, waves hitting the beach, and rapid storms and rain causing the trees on the shore to sway back and forth.

An abnormal typhoon was about to strike.

【We are now located in the coastal area of southeastern New Zealand, broadcasting local news for you. According to the United International Crisis Management Office, because the engine part of the 'Talin Civilization' spaceship that crashed on the 13th fell in the waters west of the South Pacific Ocean, a huge amount of heat accumulated in the seawater. The impact and heat of its fall mixed with the originally forming typhoon, forming a super typhoon...】

A reporter and photographer, obviously from Zhen Country, were wearing heavy raincoats and reporting against the turbulent waves and gale.

But unlike similar reports in the past, because of the popularization of cultivation, the wind speed of the typhoon was not enough to affect the actions of the reporter and photographer. They were rooted in the ground like rocks, clearly reporting the local situation: 【...Currently, the response team led by Zhen Country, the Federal States of America, the Ross Country, and the European Alliance has been dispatched. They will go to the deep sea to recover the engine components that are still releasing heat and reduce the impact of the typhoon on Newfoundland.】

While the Zhen Country reporter was reporting, many other languages ​​were heard, just like the United Nations.

It could be seen that the large media of most countries in the world gathered in this coastal area.

After finishing their initial introductions, all the media simultaneously pointed their cameras at the distant coastal area, where a row of dark shadows lay.

More than one hundred thousand sea beasts gathered at the strongest wind force of the Newfoundland coast, forming a flesh-and-blood barrier like a copper wall and an iron wall.

Sea snakes, giant fish, sea turtles, seaweed, whales, sharks, dolphins, and even seals and penguins… various sea beasts, according to their respective groups, formed several huge phalanxes, and then arranged in a certain peculiar order, combined into a huge array.

A formation designed jointly by United International and multinational experts, simple and powerful enough for even sea beasts to learn easily.

Before the impact of the storm, a visible deep blue spiritual light surged from these sea beasts, and then condensed into an invisible giant net in the surrounding sea and mid-air. This giant net was layered on top of each other, like a dense but invisible sponge wall.

When the giant waves and strong winds from afar touched this sponge wall, their power was dispersed by the endless meshes. Some of it was converted into the power of the sponge wall itself, while the other part passed through the meshes, over the sea beast wall, and rushed towards the coast.

But in this way, the original power contained in the waves and strong winds was greatly weakened. The huge storm, which was enough to destroy coastal towns, contained a large amount of wind and water spiritual power, which not only allowed the sponge wall to grow spontaneously but also became food for these many sea beasts, making them energetic and making various calls.

The three leading sea beasts, a black sea snake, a giant armored shark, and a giant whale with a length of hundreds of meters, as if winged, each served as the core of the formation, doing their best to maintain the survival of this great array.

If there were viewers who had paid attention to the former Dragon King ruins exploration program, they would find that two of these three sea beasts seemed to be the dependents of a certain Dragon King, and the other giant whale, like a Kunpeng, was also the leading giant beast in the ocean.

At this moment, they were all extremely difficult. The black sea snake's scales stood up layer by layer, like a blade, conducting violent spiritual power, and the scales on the surface of the wooden shark lit up with layers of white light, as if at a critical point. Only the giant whale was slightly better, its huge body was enough to withstand this level of spiritual impact.

However, commensurate with the hard work, the pressure and spiritual energy concentration at the core of the array were directly proportional. A large amount of violent spiritual power from the marine typhoon was tamed in the giant array and turned into gentle remaining spiritual power, which flowed into their bodies, strengthening their bloodlines and power.
