Chapter 1055: The First Emperor Steps In
Two hours later, it was still at the Longwang Mountain Park by the West South Sea in Shan Kou County.
The Tuxin Defense Net had already fully closed twenty minutes ago, with golden threads embedded deep into the ground, forming a sealed whole underground.
On a macro scale, the current Tuxin Defense Net resembled a giant golden birdcage. The top was a rounded net, the bottom was flat, and there were openings on both sides.
Notably, the golden threads crossed to form countless small gaps ranging from a few square meters to over ten square meters. After the Defense Net closed, these gaps were covered by a layer of panels that looked like orange crystal.
These panels sealed the entire Defense Net tightly.
This solved a lot of people's doubts.
Everyone had been wondering—what if the enemies came through the gaps? Now, the orange panels gave them the answer.
With these orange panels, they no longer had to worry about the Skrells easily passing through the gaps.
...
At the current Longwang Mountain Park, all the Blue Star super-strongs of the seventh rank and above were present, and most of the high-rank sixth-rank strongs also arrived. This included President Hu Jing and Commissioner Zhang.
Staring at the dense layer of orange crystal panels, President Hu Jing asked, "Su Yu, if the Defense Net is sealed this tightly, won't it affect the gas exchange between the inside and outside of the Defense Net?"
Although the Tuxin Defense Net covered the entire Honshu Island of the Rainbow Nation, which was a vast area,
if the inside and outside of the Defense Net were completely isolated, it would definitely affect the climate inside, right?
President Hu Jing didn't mind the climate change within the Defense Net.
But the problem was that there were still millions of soldiers and construction personnel on the island. If the climate changed drastically, it could endanger their health and safety.
As President, Hu Jing was definitely responsible for their safety.
"Well... I haven't thought about that," Su Yu flew to the inner side of an orange panel and reached out to touch the smooth, dense inner wall.
Undoubtedly, the orange panels could block the flow of gases, and the golden threads didn't seem to allow any air to pass through.
If the Defense Net remained sealed, it would definitely affect the environment inside.
But Su Yu wasn't an expert in this field, so he didn't know the exact impact.
However...
Su Yu lightly snapped his fingers.
_Click!_
The orange panel beside him immediately opened, springing open like a door.
He turned to President Hu Jing with a smile, "President, I can control the Defense Net. I can open all the orange panels once a month to avoid affecting the climate inside. After a month, I can close them again. This way, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Right, that works," President Hu Jing replied.
Since Su Yu could control it, there was no problem.
He thought for a moment and instructed AI Lanjing, "Lanjing, note this down. After the war starts, the environment inside the Defense Net must be monitored continuously."
"Understood," AI Lanjing's voice appeared, devoid of emotion.
...
Su Yu didn't forget the main task.
After discussing the climate impact, he turned to face the crowd and said, "Now, let's test the strength of the Defense Net."
His gaze fell on Cao Chengxiang and the First Emperor, "Who would like to step in and test it?"
Meeting Su Yu's gaze, Cao Chengxiang lightly smiled and gripped his sword hilt.
He was about to agree when suddenly, the First Emperor's voice rang out from his side, "Let me do it. I'll accompany Su Yu to test the strength."
"?" Cao Chengxiang turned to look at the First Emperor in surprise.
Normally, such a minor task as testing the strength should have been handled by Cao Chengxiang.
Ever since the First Emperor emerged from the pass, he and Chancellor Cao had formed an unspoken understanding: whenever they were both present, Chancellor Cao would handle any issues, while the First Emperor maintained his enigmatic presence.
As the first ruler to unify the land, the First Emperor used his mysterious aura to instill fear in the Scryl. He had always kept his true strength hidden, never revealing it.
It has been over two months since the First Emperor left the pass, and the Scryl have visited twice during that time.
However, in all this time, he never took action, all to preserve his enigmatic aura. But now, he has decided to act personally.
The reason for his decision to act is twofold: first, the Scryl cannot see this place, so even if he reveals a small part of his strength, the Scryl won't know. Second, he believes Chancellor Cao is not up to the task.
Over this long period, the First Emperor has come to thoroughly understand Chancellor Cao's strength. Chancellor Cao has never hidden his capabilities from him, even showing him the Hilt of Myriad Admonitions' Hilt.
The First Emperor knows that Chancellor Cao relied on the Hilt of Myriad Admonitions to achieve his peak Great Multiplication strength.
But the problem lies exactly here.
Because Chancellor Cao gained such immense power all at once, his control over it is far inferior to that of a comparable cultivator.
To put it simply, while the First Emperor can not only exhibit peak Great Multiplication strength, he can also easily simulate the power of earlier stages, such as early Great Multiplication and peak Union.
However, Chancellor Cao is different.
Due to the Hilt of Myriad Admonitions granting all its power at once, Chancellor Cao can only manifest peak Great Multiplication strength. For lower stages like middle and early Great Multiplication, he has no experience and thus no concept, making it difficult to mimic.
Since Chancellor Cao cannot handle the task, the First Emperor has decided to act personally.
...
Seeing the First Emperor about to take action, the high-ranking cultivators present were greatly excited! They were well aware of the Hilt of Myriad Admonitions, and now they showed no emotional fluctuation.
However, they had never seen the First Emperor take action before! This is the First Emperor's first time!
...
The onlookers widened their eyes, staring in excitement at the First Emperor in his black robes.
The First Emperor's expression was calm, and the luxurious black robes fluttered without wind, his sleeves flapping with a rustling sound.
In the next second, everyone's vision blurred as the First Emperor appeared outside the defensive net of the tower.
He smiled at Su Yu inside the net, "Friend Su Yu, I will first attack the defensive net with early Great Multiplication strength. Please be prepared."
"Understood," Su Yu replied.
The First Emperor nodded slightly.
In the next second, a pale green light burst from within him, striking the defensive net at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Clang!!!
A sharp collision sound rang out, and the originally orange, crystal-like barrier immediately developed a two-meter-deep indentation. The bottom of the indentation turned completely into gray-black powder, and large spider-web-like white cracks appeared across the barrier, nearly shattering it.
Su Yu had full control over the tower's defensive net.
From his perspective, he could see the barrier's durability drop from 100% to 41% in an instant.
At the same time, a large amount of golden energy gathered at the cracked point of the barrier.
Almost instantly, the barrier was swiftly repaired, its durability jumping from 41% back to 100%.
The orange barrier was restored to its initial state, its surface regaining the crystal-like luster as if it had never been attacked.
