After all, cultivation was a long process. Three years was equivalent to the snap of a finger for cultivators.

In the past three years, the cultivators’ realms have not improved much. After all, even Su Yun, who was a Dao Ancestor, needed a few years to cultivate in seclusion, let alone others. Hence, if they wanted to survive this crisis, Great Xia could only rely on technology.

The mecha research and development department was iterating the Door God series of mechas day and night because three years later, when the alien civilization arrived, the Nantianmen Plan would become the first line of defense on Earth.

The weapons development department was constantly perfecting the existing weapons systems such as the Xuanwu Fighter, the Luan Fighter, and so on to ensure that everyone could unleash their top combat strength at that time and do their best to have the advantage in this inevitable crisis.

At the same time, the Atlan Empire and the Ice Bear Nation’s Earth and Moon platforms began to open to Great Xia. Almost every day, there would be spaceships going back and forth between the three platforms.

Because they had a common enemy, the various countries had already reached a tacit understanding. Although this peace was short, it was worthy of being cherished by the various countries.

The development of the era was already getting faster and faster. An unknown crisis had appeared, subtly pushing Earth’s technological development to a new height.

Three years would pass in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhao Guofeng was already very busy. Even so, he would take some time to head to Mount Shengu and see the place where Su Yun was in seclusion from afar. Ever since the day Su Yun went into seclusion, dark clouds had gathered on Mount Shengu.

In the beginning, it was only a layer of dark clouds that resembled mist. However, as the days passed, not only did the dark clouds not dissipate, but they also became darker.

Now, two years have passed since Su Yun went into seclusion. One year has passed since the three-year development of the international plan. The sky above Mount Shengu was already covered by dark clouds. Moreover, thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, and lightning flashed restlessly.

Speaking of which, it was strange. The cover of the thundercloud seemed to be only targeted at Mount Shengu. Not to mention the other villages outside Shengu Village, even in Shengu Village, far away from Shengu Mountain, there would still be sunlight.

From afar, there was only a layer of black clouds gathered above Mount Shengu. This phenomenon made many citizens feel strange.

The only ones who knew the truth were Zhao Guofeng, Xu Jiajia, and the others. Back then, when Su Yun was in seclusion, he had personally said that he would transcend the tribulation when he came out of seclusion.

Their understanding of tribulation transcendence was not as thorough as Su Yun’s. However, they knew very well that the process of transcending the tribulation must be very dangerous. Hence, Xu Jiajia, Big Head Yang, and Lin Xiao would stand at the foot of the mountain from time to time and look at the top of the mountain worriedly.

They also hoped that Su Yun could come out of seclusion as soon as possible, but they also hoped that this time would not come too early.

This was because Su Yun’s exit from seclusion meant that he had to face the heavenly tribulation head-on. At the very least, from some cultivation novels they had read, any mention of tribulation transcendence was usually close to death.

They naturally could not understand how this calamity had occurred, nor did they have a clear understanding like Su Yun.

Their worries stemmed from their worry for Su Yun. Although Su Yun was the Great Xia’s Dao Ancestor, in the eyes of Xu Jiajia and the others, Su Yun was more like a family member and a close friend.

Now, because of Su Yun, Great Xia had reached the level where everyone cultivated. The cultivation culture was still being perfected, but all the starting points of perfection stemmed from every word Su Yun said when he gave the sermon.

The Hearing Dao Bureau bloomed everywhere, and all the cultivators were also managed by the system. This way, cultivation would not impact the original social system, and it would also be icing on the cake.

All the citizens were improving their cultivation. They did not know that the upper echelons of all the countries on Earth were working day and night to deal with the potential crisis that was less than two years away.

Ever since the launch of the three-year joint project, various countries had established cosmic monitoring stations. All the countries sent representatives to the cosmic monitoring station to monitor the speed of the unknown energy inside at any time to prevent any more changes.

In fact, just as Great Xia had calculated previously, in just a year, that unknown force had entered the Milky Way. After entering the Milky Way, the energy did not show any signs of changing direction. It was as if the target of this unknown power had been the Solar System from the beginning.

Once this unknown force entered the solar system, it meant that it was not far from Earth.

Under such an urgent situation, various countries began to desperately accelerate the development of weapons and equipment on the three platforms. For this reason, they continuously updated their weapons configuration.

Some citizens also noticed something strange. Recently, it seemed that various countries had begun to launch rockets frequently.

However, their doubts did not cause much public opinion on the Internet. This was because the upper echelons of various countries were very tacit in keeping this matter a secret. Therefore, their doubts could not be continued. They did not even reveal any rumors.

“Report! Unknown energy has entered the solar system!”

A few months later, new monitoring reports came from the cosmic monitoring station. The unidentified flying object was extremely fast. After entering the solar system, it continued to approach Earth.

“The three platforms will begin the self-check weapons procedure, forming a triangular protective layer in the sky above Earth. The high-compression energy barrier has entered the final testing stage. All the weapons on the platform will be tested!”

After Zhang Keqi received the instructions from the higher-ups, he quickly conveyed this order to the various countries. Now that all the countries respected Great Xia, they naturally did not neglect Great Xia’s orders.

In order to deal with the final crisis, the three platforms had already formed a joint energy output.

This was equivalent to forming a triangular barrier in the sky above Earth.

The three platforms would be the first line of defense against unknown energy. The weapons systems on the platforms would all undergo self-checks. The energy output system would be fully activated. An invisible barrier would quickly connect on the three platforms, forming a translucent energy shield.

The improvement of the three platforms was only the first line of defense. The weapons and equipment of various countries had also entered an urgent stage.

They had to be prepared for the worst. Once the first line of defense could not stop this unknown energy, they had to deal with the arrival of the unknown energy based on the battlefield on Earth.

Whether this unknown energy was an aircraft carrying an alien armed force or some other destructive weapon could not be analyzed with Earth’s technology at the moment.

However, all the countries had reached a consensus with Great Xia. They had to prepare for the worst.

Even the Atlan Empire, a country that had always been proud of the West, did not believe that the extraterrestrial civilizations had come all the way to the solar system to build diplomatic relations with Earth.

A weak country had no diplomacy. This principle was also feasible at the cosmic level. Although the current Earth’s technology was developing very quickly, it was a fool’s dream to compare it to an alien civilization that had existed for a long time.

Therefore, in the minds of the various countries, the arrival of this unknown energy was most likely malicious. Therefore, they had to be fully prepared.

With Great Xia’s help, more than 80 countries established high-end surface-to-air laser missile launch towers. The Sky Brain System served as the control center and armed the entire Earth with high-tech weapons.

The high-intensity jammers set up by the 13 countries covered almost half of Earth. If this unknown energy was really some kind of aircraft, these jammers would be invisible protection.

“Report, the unknown energy is approaching Jupiter!”

Eight months later, new information from the cosmic monitoring station returned to the surface. The unknown energy was close to Jupiter, which meant that this unknown energy had come in the end.

After three years of planning, there was finally going to be an outcome.
