Chapter 1173

"Its body has already surged into the clouds, reaching over ten thousand meters in height."

"Not just that—this snake, when standing upright, is already over ten thousand meters tall; its actual body length is surely tens of thousands of meters, even longer."

The crowd, filled with curiosity, activated their permissions and began to investigate.

Soon, they spotted a vast, continuous green mountain amid the primordial jungle.

"Oh my god. This snake is huge!"

"Can Earth's creatures really grow this large?"

The crowd stared wide-eyed, unable to snap out of their shock for a long time.

Moments passed.

"Report it! Report it immediately!"

"This giant snake may be an ancient relic species or a mythological being. It must belong to my White Eagle Empire—no other nation shall lay claim to it."

"But can our nation truly defeat such a creature?"

"Hmph, my White Eagle Empire is number one in the world. No matter how big this snake is, it's still flesh and blood—how can it stand against modern technology?"

"Well said. Report it quickly—perhaps in our era, we shall witness the birth of a myth."

The crowd was exhilarated.

They had great confidence in their nation's military power.

Missiles, nuclear weapons—even if it truly were an ancient divine being, it would not survive.

His White Eagle Empire would accomplish the feat of slaying a god.

Meanwhile,

other major powers on this planet had also detected the giant snake's presence.

After all, its body was simply too enormous.

Modern satellite systems had achieved positioning accuracy of 0.1 meters; a body hundreds of miles long was an unmistakable target.

Any nation with satellites could not possibly fail to detect the giant snake. 287

Suddenly, the world erupted in turmoil.

Regardless of the changes outside, Heigong was holding a meeting.

When the giant snake's photo was displayed, everyone's heart rate spiked.

If a mythological being had appeared, did that not mean immortality might also be possible?

Don't think only Eastern Emperors sought immortality—Western rulers desired it just as much.

The pursuit of eternal life was etched into humanity's genes.

"Capture the giant snake and deliver it to the Scientific Research Institute. We must develop an immortality serum!"

"Perhaps we can recreate the age of ancient myths."

The operational resolution passed nearly unanimously.

Then, next came the planning of the operation.

When the entire nation mobilized fully, efficiency reached unprecedented levels.

One hour later.

The White Eagle Empire's aircraft carrier began advancing toward the tropical rainforest.

Small nuclear bombs were already primed and ready.

At this moment, the entire White Eagle Empire was like an arrow drawn taut on a bowstring, poised to unleash a thunderous strike.

"Report! Mao Xiong has sent a diplomatic message!"

"Report! Gao Lu has sent a diplomatic message!"

"Report! Sakura Nation has sent a diplomatic message!"

The Heigong commander sneered: "They've come, all of them. Want to snatch the giant snake? Not a chance. Hold them off—wait until we capture the snake before discussing anything else."

"Understood, Commander. I'll pin them down tight!"
