Chapter 1139: Global Live Broadcast! Imperial Declaration!

"The three beast gods were actually slain?"

In the villa's living room,

Besides Emers, Jiang Chuxuan, Leng Yuexi and her sister, and Song Qiuyun were also present.

At this moment, having watched the video, they were plunged into boundless shock.

No one expected that Xu Jingming now could slay a Starlight Stage Two beast as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs.

"Jingming, can you also deal with the Magma Colossus?"

As the supreme power, Emers was the first to recover and looked at Xu Jingming with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, the remaining women in the living room all turned to him.

"I'm still a bit short in strength; once I break through to Starlight Stage Two, it should be fine."

"But for safety's sake, stronger is always better."

Xu Jingming mused.

The Magma Colossus must not be killed, or it would awaken the Magma Core Blood Dragon.

Even Starlight Stage Two strength may not be enough to imprison the Magma Colossus.

"True."

Emers nodded slightly. "Then what are your next plans?"

"Unify humanity on Blue Star, establish the Great Xia Empire, and make final preparations to imprison the Magma Colossus."

Xu Jingming's starlike eyes gleamed brightly.

The human supreme, Evelyn, is his slave.

Lei Ding is already dead; the rest are all Starlight Stage One, with no force capable of stopping him.

If these people are wise and willingly surrender control, he won't trouble them.

If they're not wise, then who knows…

"Alright, the Xinhuo Divine Temple will fully support you."

Emers nodded slightly.

Having been deeply influenced by the Second Civilization Era, she had no aversion to such actions.

On the contrary, the current fragmentation of over a hundred nations on Blue Star was what she truly disliked.

"Thank you, Master." Xu Jingming quickly bowed in thanks.

Emers was the goddess of the Xinhuo World; once she expressed support,

the entire Xinhuo World would not oppose the advancement of the Great Xia Empire.

"Eva, gather all of Great Xia's Ninth-Rank Councilors—building the Great Xia Empire cannot do without them."

"Got it, I'll notify them right away."

Eva giggled.

Ten minutes later, at the National Council.

Upon learning of Xu Jingming's idea, each councilor was stunned.

Lei Di was powerful, but to unify Blue Star now—wasn't that stepping too far?

Remember, although Lei Ding is dead, the beast gods still remain.

If humanity falls into internal chaos, the beasts will surely seize the opportunity.

Worse still, with Lei Ding's death, humanity has lost a top-tier combatant.

But when they saw the video Eva played of Xu Jingming slaying the beast gods,

their shock and concern instantly turned to frenzy!

Two beast gods slain in succession! Unrivaled in the world!

Neither beasts nor humans had any rival left.

If not him, then who else could rule Blue Star?

Thus, the massive machine of Great Xia immediately sprang into motion.

Aside from the legions and guilds dispatched to the EU, all remaining legions began to assemble.

Supplies and equipment were doubled.

Guilds training near Great Xia's wildlands and demon caves received orders to withdraw.

At the same time, the Great Xia government announced:

At eight p. m. tonight, Xu Jingming, newly appointed Chief Councilor of Great Xia,

will deliver his first live broadcast speech to all of Great Xia and every nation on Blue Star.

It was especially emphasized that this speech would reshape the geopolitical landscape of Blue Star.

"Qingyuan, Chief Councilor Xu will be giving a speech tonight."

At Jin Ning Institute of Psychic Abilities, in the female dormitory,

Lin Qingyuan, having heard the news from her roommate, sat early in front of her computer, waiting for the broadcast to begin.

"Training is canceled tonight. Gather on Field One to watch the Chief Councilor's speech. No one is allowed to be absent."

"Look at your Xu senior—look at yourselves? You're all the same age, yet he's already Chief Councilor—how come you can't even break through to Stage Three?"

At Magic City Institute of Psychic Abilities, accompanied by Vice Principal Yang Zhentian's rebuke,

the entire Magic City Institute suspended classes for the night to watch Xu Jingming's speech together.

"Tonight is the Grandmaster's speech—all members of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall with time must go watch."

At Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, Assistant Director Liu Wei also issued orders.

Nearly every major university, Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, Bearstorm Martial Arts Hall, and all renowned families and factions in Great Xia made similar arrangements.

They sensed an unusual undercurrent in the official statements from Great Xia; this announcement would likely affect the entire nation.

It was not just Great Xia—even nearly all foreign powers were paying attention.

There was no way around it: Xu Jingming, as a rising powerhouse, was clearly far less restrained than previous powerhouses.

Whenever he made a move, other nations would all be affected.

At 7:58 p. m., two minutes remained until the live broadcast began.

Yet within Great Xia's official livestream room, billions had already flooded in!

On a pitch-black screen, comments streamed past like a waterfall.

This was still the result of Eva deliberately adjusting her algorithm.

Otherwise, with billions of viewers, if even one percent sent barrage messages, the text would overwhelm and obscure the screen.

As for why he did not deliver his speech in the virtual world, it was to accommodate the vast majority of ordinary Great Xia citizens.

After all, not every household could afford a neural helmet.

When the clock struck eight p. m., the livestream screen abruptly switched.

Xu Jingming appeared silently before the camera, no flashy effects, no deliberate buildup.

Merely standing there, he caused the entire livestream's barrage to stall.

He wore the uniform of Great Xia's Chancellor, the pure black fabric embroidered with faint gold patterns, making his figure stand tall and straight as a pine.

Though his face remained youthful, even carrying a touch of youthful elegance.

But those deep, abyss-like eyes held a calmness and authority far beyond his years.

It was a temperament forged through countless life-and-death battles, walking over mountains of corpses and seas of blood—subdued yet sharp, tranquil yet unshakable.

Viewers in the livestream involuntarily held their breath, as if they could feel the invisible pressure even through the screen.

The number of barrage messages plummeted, as if the air itself had frozen for an instant at his appearance.

"Since the resurgence of Yuan energy, 207 years."

He spoke slowly, his voice steady, "In these 207 years, humanity's ancestors have sacrificed their lives to fight monstrous beasts.

They died on the wilds, buried beneath city walls, and even... fell at the hands of comrades they were meant to fight beside."

Here, Xu Jingming paused slightly, a flash of coldness passing through his eyes.

Infighting has always been humanity's nature.

But the greater reason is that there are too many nations on Blue Star, each fighting for itself, naturally unwilling to let others grow stronger.

"History tells us: 'To repel outsiders, first secure the interior!'

Yet for thousands of years, no one has ever truly achieved this.

Humanity has endlessly fought among itself, nations have schemed against each other, and some have even willingly allied with monstrous beasts for fleeting gain.

But all of this must end."

Xu Jingming slowly raised his hand, palm upward, as if cradling an invisible force.

"I declare, from this moment on:

Great Xia is no longer merely a nation—it is an empire.

Across the entire Blue Star, regardless of which nation, which tribe, which faction once claimed it—

From this day forward, there is only one name—Great Xia!

Those who defy this shall be executed without mercy!"

Xu Jingming said no more, merely gazing silently at the camera, those deep eyes seeming to burn with an eternal flame.
