CHAPTER 869: CHAPTER 523: COVERING THE SKY WITH ONE HAND

The Sun King remained still.

On various satellite orbits at different altitudes over Earth, satellites continuously monitor the Sun King’s residence and areas of activity every moment.

The Sword Bureau has a team specifically responsible for this, recording the Sun King’s movement trajectory 24 hours a day, and dedicated personnel for data research and analysis. Any slight change must be reported immediately.

Before today’s plan began, the leader considered the Sun King’s movements.

Several response plans were also formulated.

Among them included, should the Sun King strike directly, Ji Xinghuo would select a battle area and spare no expense to kill him.

Of course, the probability of this situation occurring is very low.

Both Ji Xinghuo and the Sun King are strategic weapons of their respective camps. Previously, with one-sided deterrence, the Asia-Pacific Community dared not act rashly and could only rely on the greater number of Heavenly Kings to unite and, with stronger national power, remain in a defensive posture for a long time.

Now it’s mutual deterrence.

Previously, even when the Sun King alone dominated the world, he dared not act recklessly. Now that someone can threaten his life, he’s even less likely to make a move easily.

As a result, the fragile balance between the Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation has been broken.

Time is on the side of the Asia-Pacific Community.

No need to be overly impatient.

Even though Ji Xinghuo can recklessly charge into the American Federation and eliminate the Sun King and all hostile Heavenly Kings, this would inevitably lead to immense chaos and pose greater obstacles to future global governance and human unification.

Ji Daosheng had long had assurance in this regard.

With victory in hand, executing the plan step by step, tackling the easy before the hard, to finally achieve global unification. This can minimize the pains of national and ethnic fusion, reducing demographic and economic losses.

Of course, it can’t be too slow.

Otherwise, the enemy might realize inevitable defeat, and extreme anti-human elements might seize the opportunity to cause trouble, choosing mutual destruction.

After comprehensive consideration, the leader decided that if the plan goes smoothly, the fastest global unification process would take one year, and the slowest no longer than three years.

Ji Xinghuo waited for a moment.

He could directly view satellite real-time footage on his phone, seeing the Sun King’s residence.

It’s a magnificent skyscraper at the center of the United States’ capital, Saint Louis, called "New Imperial Tower," standing over two thousand meters tall. The entire building is the Sun King’s private property.

Inside the New Imperial Tower, dozens of companies were established.

These companies serve only the Sun King, covering everything from the Sun King’s clothing, food, and living, cultivation, ability training, entertainment, banquets, media appearances, publicity, beauty treatments, meetings with political figures, legal advice, consultancy, etc., totalling over ten thousand people.

The top floor of the building is the Sun King’s home.

His home is also the highest point in Saint Louis, overlooking the entire city. Not a king, yet superior to a king!

Most of the time, the Sun King is in the New Imperial Tower.

Every time he makes a public appearance, participating in political activities across the American Federation, no matter how far away they are, he flies back to the New Imperial Tower after completing them.

This building is the Sun King’s private kingdom.

It is even the heart of the American Federation.

Under the night, the outer walls of the New Imperial Tower are still brightly lit, visible from dozens of kilometers away, with the giant projection screen displaying the Sun King’s radiant image, sunny and cheerful, full of smiles, yet he has not actually appeared.

Sword Bureau agents stationed in nearby districts also found no signs of the Sun King leaving the building.

"He wouldn’t dare."

Ji Xinghuo smiled calmly.

This aligns with the leader’s previous prediction.

Today in South Asia, he deliberately showcased a power strong enough to threaten the Sun King, essentially to lure him out. But the leader’s psychological analysis of the Sun King personally suggested that his probability of making a move is less than 1%, possibly even lower.

"Sure enough, the leader hit the mark." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, unsurprised because the leader always had an uncanny foresight.

The Sun King’s move is the biggest variable.

Since he hasn’t arrived, the American Federation, far on the other side of Earth, cannot significantly influence the situation on the South Asian subcontinent.

The result is certain!

Next, it’s about suppressing opposition forces in South Asia, clearing out remaining enemies.

Then follow political procedures to gain legitimacy and incorporate the entire subcontinent into the Asia-Pacific Community’s territory.

This will take at least a month.

Ji Xinghuo has no patience to stay in South Asia for such a long time, which would affect his life and cultivation. Fortunately, the newly upgraded Shadow Clone comes in handy.

The Star Power just consumed has almost recovered.

He activated the Shadow Clone.

This time, he invested a full 100,000 points of Star Power, reaching the limit of the Fifth Level Shadow Clone, creating one Shadow Clone.

One hundred thousand Star Power is already considerable.

Generally, a Heavenly King, when reaching the Sixth Rank Second Dan, initially completes the Star Array at the Second Dan limit, has about 100,000 Star Power.

Moreover, Ji Xinghuo’s Shadow Clone possesses most of his own abilities, stronger than most peak-level Heavenly Kings!

He observed this Shadow Clone, while the clone’s senses synchronized over.

"Almost has half my strength."

"It used to reach seventy percent."

"After upgrading, the Shadow Clone’s strength is relatively reduced compared to the body; ultimately, the body is too strong, which is the innate limitation of the Clone Ability." Ji Xinghuo felt the state of the Shadow Clone, sighing a bit.

"It would be better if the Shadow Clone’s Star Power could recover on its own."

The biggest flaw of the Shadow Clone is the inability to recover consumed Star Power, weakening further in combat.
