Li Daoyi, who comes from a Taoist background, goes into the mountains to look for the green ox he has raised since childhood and accidentally transmigrates to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wander...
The Europa Desert Base is a top-secret military base of the Europa Alliance, located in the Europa Desert. The base is not large, consisting of a huge aircraft plaza, an inconspicuous building, and a huge signal transmission tower.
The signal tower is ridiculously large, nearly a thousand meters high, and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft fly all around the base plaza. Any unauthorized person or object that approaches will be immediately and absolutely attacked.
Night fell, and under the twinkling stars, a jet-black aircraft silently landed on the base plaza.
"Smack..."
The lights around the square instantly turned on, and all the beams converged on the aircraft.
Hundreds of people in the square were fully armed, and some were wearing uniforms with serious expressions. Their clothes bore the distinctive symbol of Europa superhumans: the bald eagle.
After the warship came to a stop, the hatch opened, and a group of people walked out. It was President Orlando, who had been holding a parliamentary meeting during the day, and some core officials of the alliance.
"Commander." Everyone immediately stood up straight and saluted.
"Professor Lucas, is that guy alright?" Orlando asked a white-haired old man who was walking towards him as soon as he stepped onto the ground.
"Commander, there's nothing unusual for now." The old man, Lucas, was the person in charge of this base.
Orlando nodded, and then the group walked toward the building. Inside, the building was surprisingly spacious, but there was a huge elevator in the center. The true core of the base was underground, 1,500 meters below the surface.
"Sizzle..."
The elevator doors opened, and Orlando and more than ten others, along with the professor's group of more than ten people, entered.
A few minutes later, the elevator stopped, and the doors opened to reveal a huge base, exuding a high-tech atmosphere. Many instruments were in operation, and there were many glass containers, ranging from several meters to more than ten meters high, containing many alien beast corpses of different sizes.
As the group continued deeper into the base, a massive gate opened, and a dangerous aura instantly appeared, sending chills down everyone's spines.
A colossal beast's head, with numerous tubes inserted into it, floated silently in mid-air. The other end of each tube was connected to several enormous jars containing an unknown liquid.
The group stopped in their tracks. Every time they came here, an unknown fear would rise from the bottom of their hearts. What they feared was not the head itself, but what was hidden inside it.
Orlando took a deep breath, waved to the crowd, and everyone else stepped back. Orlando walked forward alone, and then the gate behind him slowly closed.
As he got closer to the head, Orlando's body underwent a transformation. His originally blue eyes gradually turned black, and hard keratin grew on his face, just like the outer skin of an alien beast.
"Master." Orlando knelt down before the head.
Suddenly, the giant monster's head floating in front of him opened its eyes, its black, bottomless eyes looking at Orlando.
"Master, the China Alliance has reacted as I expected. Their personnel and warships have been successively dispatched to the alien battlefield," Orlando said, bowing his head.
"Is there anything else?" The head didn't open its mouth, but the voice came from its head.
"Master, will you descend then?" Orlando asked, slowly raising his head, his expression showing some excitement.
"My true form cannot descend; your universe is too fragile. The only way is to convey my will," the head proclaimed.
“Then what did my master promise me…” Orlando continued.
"I will not break my promise. From now on, you will be in charge of Water Blue Star."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red tentacle suddenly appeared above his head, slowly reaching towards Orlando.
Orlando quickly stretched out his head, and the tentacle connected directly to his forehead. The tentacle began to wriggle, and something was poured into Orlando's body through it. Orlando then opened his arms and looked comfortable.
Then, the stratum corneum on Orlando's face began to gradually disappear, and his pupils changed from black back to azure blue.
The tentacles then left Orlando and returned to the head.
"Thank you, Master," Orlando said excitedly. At that moment, he felt his body brimming with power.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the universe, there is no light, no planets, only emptiness.
Suddenly, a strange aura appeared in the void. A black energy emerged from the void, seemingly a giant arm formed from the convergence of energy, reaching out towards the universe.
"Sizzle..."
A massive barrier suddenly appeared in front of the giant hand, blocking it.
"Damn it..." The giant hand retracted, and an ancient, aged voice came from the void, filled with resentment.
On the planet Aquamarine, in the Li family courtyard, Li Daoyi, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed something, abruptly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the endless cosmic starry sky to the end of the universe.
"Eeya?" Mengmeng, who was playing nearby, also raised her little head and looked up at the sky just like Li Daoyi.
“Hey, brother, I saw a big guy!” Mengmeng said immediately.
Li Daoyi slowly nodded and withdrew his gaze.
"It seems that it was the culprit." Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
“They seem somewhat familiar,” Mengmeng said, tilting her head.
"Familiar?" Li Daoyi looked at Mengmeng.
The little guy tilted his head, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hmm, I think I've smelled that scent before." Mengmeng nodded.
"Can't you remember again?" Li Daoyi asked.
The little guy stuck out his tongue.
Li Daoyi was not surprised. Mengmeng's origins were mysterious, and it seemed that her memories had been sealed.
"It's nothing, just a crawling insect hiding in the shadows." Li Daoyi smiled and reached out to pick up Mengmeng.
"I just never expected that this universe would actually give birth to its own consciousness," Li Daoyi exclaimed in amazement.
The mysterious barrier that blocked the giant hand was created by the cosmic consciousness of this universe. It was an instinctive protection, an automatic barrier formed when facing danger, which Li Daoyi sensed.
"It looks delicious," Mengmeng said, licking her lips.
"All you ever think about is food. It's not easy for a universe to give birth to a will. Give me some face and stop thinking about it," Li Daoyi said with a smile, gently pinching Mengmeng's little nose.
"Giggle..." The little guy was instantly amused.
“If I hadn’t shown up, that guy probably would have succeeded. Without the Blue Planet, the power of the cosmic will would be greatly weakened, and that thing would naturally break through the barrier and descend into this universe. The consequences would be unimaginable,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
Time passed quickly, and the alien meteorite swarm that flew from the depths of space was very close to the alien battlefield. Countless warships of the Huaxia Alliance were on high alert in outer space.
On the planet Blue, in all the cities inhabited by humans, people flocked to the streets to watch the largest screens closest to them, which were displaying real-time footage of outer space.
The orderly formation of warships and the countless superhumans clad in special space combat suits created an incredibly solemn scene.
At the same time, everyone wondered why there were only the Chinese Alliance's army and superhumans, while the European Alliance was nowhere to be seen.
The same question also arose in the minds of the people of Europe. This live broadcast had been learned by the people of Europe through many channels. When people discovered that only China was fighting alone, the people were furious. Demonstrations and protests broke out simultaneously in all 51 states of Europe. Faced with the enemy of all mankind, the people naturally knew what to do.
The Europa Parliament building was surrounded by a huge crowd of demonstrators. Some people took out projection equipment and projected the live broadcast from China onto the Parliament building.
"Send troops! Send troops!"
"Protest! Protest!"
"We cannot let China fight alone."
The protests resounded through the sky.
“Foolish.” On the top floor of the conference building, Orlando looked down at the scene below and laughed disdainfully.
"Commander, are we really not going to do anything?" a middle-aged man in military uniform asked in a deep voice from behind.
"Don't forget who you are, General Kaido. Soldiers should obey orders. We will not participate in this operation," Orlando said, his brow furrowing slightly.
"But, Commander, the number of alien meteorites this time has exceeded that of previous years. If China can't withstand it, we..."
"Shut up," Orlando snapped, interrupting the other person.
“Kaido, you should know that as the commander, I have the right to immediately remove you from your post,” Orlando said, turning around in a threatening tone.
Those around them lowered their heads upon seeing this, not daring to look directly at Orlando. Only Kaido stared at him angrily, and the two of them stared at each other.
"Hmph." Kaido snorted coldly and reached out to remove the rank insignia from his shoulder.
"Commander, there's no need to threaten me. I'll resign right now." Kaido said, throwing his rank insignia on the ground before turning and leaving.
"General." The other officers standing nearby were all shocked.
Kaido gave them a deep look, then left without turning back.
"Something's wrong. Orlando's got a problem. The rumors are true. That bastard really did collude with the alien monsters." Kaido walked out of the council building, his heart filled with turmoil.
"Clap clap clap clap..."
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him. Kaido turned around and saw the officers.
"You..." Kaido looked at the group in shock, noticing that the rank insignia on their shoulders had disappeared.
"General, we're quitting too."
"Orlando has been ostracizing us, and we've wanted to quit for a long time."
"General, we'll go with you."
Several people expressed their opinions.
Kaido excitedly saluted the group.
"Guys, you are true soldiers," Kaido praised.
"Look at these people, they understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle. Don't Orlando and the others know it?" Kaido pointed at the crowd and said.
"General," the men said hastily, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Kaido, already sensing what he was about to do.
"Return to base immediately. We're going to support China," Kaido said in a deep voice.
