I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 837 - 836. Enemy invasion

The 100 Chosen who had set out on the previous expedition did not return unscathed.

Some died tragically like Morris, while others came back torturously luckless, gaining nothing.

But all misfortunes were overshadowed by the splendor of supernatural powers!

Now even three-year-olds know that becoming one of The Chosen means gaining power, wealth, strength, fame... and even longevity!

Under such tremendous temptation, naturally everyone is eager.

Even those who fear traveling through worlds are desperately vying for a spot.

Because a wealthy tycoon offered a sky-high price of 1 billion yuan to buy the "Chosen" status!

Additionally, three globally renowned insurance companies provided joint guarantees, ensuring immediate payment upon transferring the qualification, truly fair to all.

This immediately sparked an intense craze!

Thus, in order to compete for the upcoming 1000 "Space-Time Tokens", people of Blue Star showcased their Divine Skills.

As per Lu Yao’s request that "hearts should boil with spirit", those with substantial wealth flew to world-renowned mountains like the Himalayas and the Alps and climbed the highest peaks on their own.

They sought to make their spirits boil by engaging in extreme sports.

Many young people gathered together to hold "trial parties" throughout the night, trying to achieve the purpose by partying all night.

Some even took it to the streets and ran in the nude... all sorts of eccentric behaviors were on display.

This certainly kept governments busy; amidst handling various oddities, they also had to actively promote that anyone obtaining a "Space-Time Token" must promptly register with the government.

This clearly aimed to keep control over the domestic Chosen; unfortunately, foreign citizens did not comply, preferring to conceal their situation even if it meant heavy casualties among lone wolves.

Little did they know Lu Yao had fully considered the difficulty of different worlds, making this round much safer.

Amidst the bustling chaos, 1000 "Space-Time Tokens" descended through the atmosphere, like a meteor shower falling from the sky.

From mountain summits to city squares, even in the wilderness, diverse people screamed and shouted.

They fervently prayed in Lu Yao’s name, wishing for divine blessing to make them the lucky ones to rise in a single step.

However, the "Space-Time Tokens" were indifferent to these, autonomously flying towards those whose soul vibrations were the most intense and who were the most talented.

Naturally, most of them were from Xia Country.

This day, indeed, held much joy and much sorrow.

Some rejoiced at the gifts from heaven, naturally extremely excited and thrilled!

Whether used personally or sold, possessing a "Space-Time Token" truly represents a meteoric rise.

Others felt desperate and dejected. This qualification of The Chosen was indeed a great opportunity to transcend social classes.

Being slow at this moment could mean chasing it for a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao was unconcerned with the mortals’ dilemmas, having seen the "Space-Time Tokens" successfully bound, he immediately notified all Chosen:

[The Dimensional Gateway will open in 48 hours, please be prepared for transdimensional travel]

~~~~~~~~~~~

Following this, national machineries of various Blue Star countries were fully mobilized to prepare for the upcoming transdimensional journey.

Each country’s policies varied, but including the lone wolves, there was a common understanding: the urgency to purchase "Golden Statues" from space.

Being the most expensive item in the mall, both its appearance and its price highlighted its extraordinary significance!

One must try every possible method and spare no expense to secure it!

Around the Golden Statues, a new round of competition among the Blue Star nations was about to unfold.

Though the idea was sound, the difficulty of acquiring Mall Points Vouchers was beyond imagination!

The current strongest groups—Wang Guowei, Mark, and Abinan from Tianzhu—each exchanged their treasures with the mall.

Containing impurities of Soil, Miniature Fusion Core, Dragon Egg...only the former exchanged for 1000 Mall Points Voucher, the latter two items were priced lowly at 500 in the mall.

Other people’s items were merely worth a few tens of points...

But the sale price of the Golden Statues reached a staggering 1 billion points! Compared with others, that’s an astronomical figure!

At this point, many countries started to retreat...

However, just then, a sudden situation dissolved all their doubts.

Previously, when "Guiyi God" broadcasted the coordinates of two worlds, the enemy finally arrived!

~~~~~~~~~~

The first enemies to appear were an alien fleet, unremarkable in appearance.

The fleet consisted of 10 huge flying saucers, each crewed by upright-looking lobsters, a typical alien appearance.

Lu Yao glanced at them; these folks didn’t even possess energy shield technology, far inferior to the Tianyuan Realm.

Of course, traveling across star systems, crushing the current Blue Star would be no problem.

For such weak opponents, Lu Yao couldn’t be bothered to make a move himself, directly sending the Golden Statues to handle it.

Meanwhile, various observation devices on Blue Star also spotted the massive alien fleet near Jupiter.

They saw the golden giant that had been hovering in geostationary orbit, darting towards the enemy with a blue trail!

Once within combat range, the alien saucers fired first, countless red beams bombarded the Golden Statues.

What was supposed to be a powerful energy weapon now seemed as ineffective as water pistols against the statues.

The surface of the Golden Statues shimmered slightly, undamaged. In response, they quickly conjured a "Spear of Light" and threw it.

With just one strike, it pierced through a row of flying saucers, causing a violent explosion!

Moreover, the energy of the "Spear of Light" didn’t exhaust itself; it actually curved in space, destroying a second spaceship before dissipating.

The disparity in strength was so vast, the alien fleet scrambled to escape.

But the Golden Statues showed no mercy, each hand forming a "Spear of Light" and hurling them fiercely!

The outcome for the alien fleet need not be mentioned, and the high-level powers on Blue Star watching this scene were starkly astonished:

"Exterminating the enemy took a total of 51 seconds... this is simply a massacre!"

"The combat was completely unequal, the gap was like that between primitive man and a modern army!"

But some perceived more:

"Lu Yao stationed the Golden Statues in geostationary orbit, indeedhe intends to protect Blue Star!"

"We are not alone in the universe... surely Mr. Lu initiated interdimensional travel for this reason."

"Exactly! Interdimensional travel isn’t just for supernatural powers, but also to ensure the survival of all mankind! Don’t forget the aliens that destroyed Star Alliance Country."

...

A group of people speculated much on their own, inadvertently guessing Lu Yao’s intentions, and simultaneously strengthened their resolution to fully support The Chosen in their interdimensional travels!

Seeing the formidable power of the Golden Statues themselves, governments immediately stopped hesitating and decided to spare no effort to acquire this "guardian deity" for themselves!

For a time, the morale on Blue Star was greatly uplifted, and The Chosen, to varying degrees, also firmed up their determination to fight for all mankind.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Lu Yao’s attention was no longer focused on Blue Star.

At that moment, Yu Yanmei sent a message:

[Lu Xiaozi, the external enemy you mentioned earlier has shown up. Should we deal with them now?]

"No! Wait for me to handle it personally!"

Lu Yao was already feeling restless, just looking for a chance to stretch his muscles~
