Tianqi University, temporary shelter.
Lin Xiaoyu and her companions collapsed behind the hastily erected defensive fortifications, drenched in blood, utterly battered.
They had just repelled a wave of Anomaly tides, and now they barely had the strength to lift their arms.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the Kunpeng Fleet marching grandly across the Star Sea on the light screen.
She was filled with envy. “So these are Senior Su Fu’s warships? They look amazing.”
“If only we had one, even the smallest one, wouldn’t it just blow Anomaly tides to bits with a single shot?”
Her companion smiled bitterly. “Tell me about it.”
“But unfortunately… either these warships are monopolized by those damned Houses, or the official quotas are too tight.”
“Now that war is breaking out everywhere, what chance do small fries like us have?!”
Just then, they heard a low rumbling sound.
“BZZZZ—!”
A deep engine roar approached from afar, sounding right above their heads.
Lin Xiaoyu and the others exchanged glances and rushed outside. There, a silver-gray warship broke through the clouds, slowly descending to hover over the university plaza.
No, not just one ship. Dozens!
And the number was still growing!
“Oh my god!”
Lin Xiaoyu’s eyes widened. She rubbed them, looked down at her optical computer, then looked up at the sky again.
“The hull, the paint job… How is it exactly the same as in the videos?!”
Before they could react, Shen Yan’s voice covered the entire shelter:
[Emergency Combat Support Notice:]
[Detected anomalous tide threat in the Fourth Star Ring B06 Shelter area. Anomaly crisis is extremely severe!]
[Chinese Pantheon·Kunlun Academy Dean Su Fu has decided to open combat support!]
[From this moment onward, all surviving test takers and resistance forces in this area will receive the following combat support free of charge, to the upcoming larger-scale disaster!]

[White Tiger Detachment Heavy Firepower Fortresses ×20]
[Azure Dragon Detachment Mobile Escort Ships ×20]
[Black Tortoise Detachment Heavy Armored Defense Ships ×20]
[……]
The moment the news came out, the entire shelter fell into silence.
Then came a roar of celebration like an ocean storm!
“We get warships this powerful too?!”
“And this many!”
“Long live Lady Su Fu! Long live the Chinese Pantheon!”
However, the announcement wasn’t over yet. It continued:
[In addition to standard warship support, Dean Su Fu will also sponsor the following divine artifacts and divine relics for free!]
[Mountain-splitting, rock-crushing, unstoppable [Xuanhua Axe] ×100]

[Please present valid identification and proceed to the shelter plaza to claim your items in an orderly manner]
[Finally, the Chinese Pantheon·Kunlun Celestial Palace’s Lady Su Fu extends her highest respect and sincerest blessings to all those fighting on the front lines against the anomalies!]
[May the torch burn forever, illuminating the darkness!]
[May humanity’s glory endure for all eternity!]
[China stands with you all!]
“Aaaah! Lady Su Fu, I will follow you forever!”
“That combo just smashed my brain to pieces, wuwuwu! Senior Su Fu, I’ll love you forever!”
“Warships! Divine artifacts! Divine relics! All free?!”
“Lady Su Fu, you are my one and only god!”
“Su Fu! I swear I’ll follow you to the death!”
“God Su! From today on, you’re my real mom!”
“What are you still shouting for? Go claim them! Hehe, I already got the Xingtian Battle Axe! The feel is amazing!”
“The Netherworld Soup is a lifesaver! A divine relic that can block cognitive contamination!”
“……”
Everyone was overjoyed. Though they couldn’t thank Su Fu in person, they surged onto StarNet, frantically expressing their gratitude from afar, flooding the comments:
[Lady Su Fu! Thank you for your support! All faculty and students of Tianqi University salute you!]
[Wuwuwu… So touched! Lady Su Fu, you are the eternal goddess in our hearts!]
[In short, the Chinese Pantheon is incredible! [Thunder Division Armory] is incredible!]
[……]
It wasn’t just Tianqi University. At the same time, every major war zone received support simultaneously, shooting straight to the hot search.
#Su Fu Gives Away Divine Artifacts for Free!# (EXPLODING!)
#Thunder Division Armory YYDS# (BOILING!)
#Chinese Divine Artifacts Field Test#
[Big shot Su Fu is supporting us with real gold and silver! From now on, I only believe in the Chinese Pantheon!]
[Just claimed the Judge’s Pen! Just saved a whole neighborhood, it’s too powerful!]
[Thank God Su for the cheat! Field test confirms the Xuanhua Axe splits anomalies in one swing!]
[Wuwuwu… Thank you, Lady Su Fu! Thank you, Chinese Pantheon!]
[……]
Countless comments flooded the screen. Nearly everyone was immersed in the shock of China’s support.
But soon, someone realized something.
[Wait, isn’t Lady Su Fu’s fleet almost at the Central Star System?]
[Can she even get in? The Central Star System’s defenses are maxed out!]
[Not to mention anything else, how is she going to get past that SSS-level divine artifact, the Celestial Orbit Observation Tower, that surrounds the entire Central Star System?]
[I heard it’s known as the Eye of Ten Thousand Realms. It can observe cosmic causality and even foresee the future.]
[No one has ever forcefully broken through. Can the big shot do it?]
[……Don’t you dare say Lady Su Fu can’t!]
Kunpeng Fleet·Command Cabin.
Su Fu stood before the bridge. The holographic projection of the Central Star System slowly rotated before her.
Tao Tao excitedly brought the hot search news on her optical computer to claim credit:
“Sister, everyone is thanking us now!”
“Almost everyone knows about our [Thunder Division Armory] now!”
“Also, all those warships, divine artifacts, and various divine relics we rushed to produce before are all delivered and distributed to the major battlefields.”
“The current feedback is all ‘overwhelmingly unstoppable’!”
“Once this battle is over, our Chinese brand will become the most popular and most trustworthy conscience brand in the entire universe!”
“By then, sister, you’ll be the richest super tycoon in the universe!”
Hearing this, Su Fu patted little Tao Tao’s head: “Mm, Tao Tao did very well.”
“Go rest now. You’ve worked hard during this time.”
China’s reputation had soared. The battlefield equipment had been upgraded. Now there was only one thing left.
Her gaze passed through the porthole, over the star map, toward that brilliant star domain.
“The light of human civilization·the hub of all realms·the eternal city that never falls—”
“Central Star System·Tianyuan Sanctum.”
There it was.
Outside the porthole, that colossal celestial track spanning the galaxy slowly rotated, silver light flowing like a web of fate woven by the gods.
SSS-level Divine Artifact·Celestial Orbit Observation Tower.
Su Fu curled her lips and gave the command:
“Target locked—”
“Ahead, the Celestial Orbit Observation Tower.”
“Fire!”
At the command, ten thousand cannons roared at once!
Countless dark blue cannon fire tore through the starry sky, falling like reverse meteors, slamming into that brilliant ring symbolizing fate.
Fate is causality, is a predetermined trajectory, is order.
But cannon fire is the violence that destroys all rules.
“BOOM——!”
A terrifying torrent of energy, carrying world-destroying might, slammed forward with ruthless force.
An unimaginable, terrifying explosion erupted!
The heavens split apart. The star river shook.
The massive ring slowly tilted, its fragments silently collapsing in the vacuum, dragging long tails of flame as they peeled away from the celestial track, plunging down toward the vast, boundless star sea below!
Countless points of light burst forth, like the Milky Way pouring down, like stardust falling like rain.
Central Star System, Council Hall of the Seven Great Clans.
Everyone had long been terrified by Su Fu’s mad act of bombarding the celestial track. This was the Fate God’s divine artifact, and she had just blown it apart right in front of everyone?
Madman. An absolute madman!
Just then, an elder from the Fujiwara clan present received terrible news:
“Su Fu just wiped out the entire Fujiwara clan!”
“The ancestral lands have been razed to the ground!”
He tremblingly pulled up a holographic projection on his optical computer. In the image, the Fujiwara ancestral lands were being engulfed by endless cannon fire, with the pitch-black Kunpeng warship circling overhead like the Grim Reaper.
The person filming was clearly fleeing. The camera shook violently before cutting off in a blinding blue flash.
“A-all contact lost…” The Fujiwara elder collapsed to the ground. “It’s over. Everything is over…”
“She really dared to do this…”
The Council Hall fell into dead silence.
Before everyone could recover, the Egyptian Pantheon’s representative also received terrible news:
“The Amun-Ra family… is also wiped out!”
“All contact lost!”
One piece of terrible news after another followed. Four of the Seven Great Clans had been destroyed in an instant.
Someone collapsed, clutching their head: “What do we do?!”
“We should have run back then! The vast universe, she’d never have found me!”
“It’s all your fault! You kept saying she wouldn’t dare. She even dares to kill gods. She’s determined to make us buried with Tai Xuanzi!”
“And you kept talking about surrender. Where is Evans now?! Surrender was useless!”
“The hell are you spouting?! Who stopped you from running?”
“Isn’t it because you yourself refused to give up your wealth and glory?”
“Leave? Easy to say. If we really leave, we’ll be paupers! We’ll never be able to return to the Central Star System!”
“STOP ARGUING!!!”
Someone shouted, their eyes filled with terror, their voice trembling:
“You guys… do you hear… a sound?!”
Before the words even faded, a terrifying roar suddenly came from above the Council Hall!
“BOOM!!! RUMBLE!!!”
The Council Hall, symbolizing the supreme authority and glory of the Seven Great Clans, collapsed in an instant!
Countless rubble and dust poured down like a torrential rain.
The scions of the great families, who usually held themselves high and lived in comfort, were now all covered in dust and dirt, utterly disheveled.
They screamed, scrambling desperately to crawl out from beneath the rubble.
But the moment they got out and looked up, they saw a terrifying sight.
The sky-covering Kunpeng Fleet was hovering right above their heads!
Su Fu stood at the bow of the lead ship, her gaze sweeping over each person present from on high.
She slowly unrolled a scroll in her hand, as if checking something against it.
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears:
“No wonder I couldn’t find the core figures anywhere.”
She chuckled lightly. “So you’re all gathered here?”
“Are you having… a wipe-out meeting?”
Everyone: “???”
Do you even have any manners?!
Chesia coiled around Su Fu’s shoulder, her head bobbing with delight:
“That’s fine too. Nice and neat.”
The clan members’ hair stood on end at those words.
Someone stumbled backward, but the sky above was filled with dark cannon muzzles on all sides. There was nowhere to retreat.
Verdanti forced herself to step forward and shouted through gritted teeth:
“Everyone, don’t panic! We are all the core and elite of our respective families.”
“We all have our own trump cards. Su Fu won’t kill us that easily!”
“Don’t lose your composure!”
The crowd barely steadied themselves, clinging to their last lifeline, though the fear in their eyes hadn’t faded.
Verdanti looked up at Su Fu, trying to appeal to her reason:
“Su Fu, I know you want revenge for your master.”
“But your master’s death was not our wish.”
“Moreover, the one who died wasn’t only your master. During the Five Gods Dawn, the top figures of our families also fell to her.”
“If we’re talking about grievances, they’ve long been settled.”
“Why must you pursue this to the bitter end and root us out entirely?”
“If you’re willing to stop here, our Seven Great Clans are willing to swear a blood oath never to pursue this matter again!”
“Otherwise—” She gritted her teeth, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.
“Everyone present is the core of their families. Even with all your shells, you can’t kill us all!”
“If you truly want to fight to the death today, these warships of yours will be buried with you!”
“Why must you push so hard and fight so relentlessly?!”
