Back at the Intelligence Bureau, with Li Hua’s help, Intelligence Minister Xi Weng edited and translated the entire video.

Li Hua had a fair understanding of English, so he gently added English subtitles to the video.
Once the video was ready, Xi Weng sent it to His Majesty the Emperor’s phone for his review.
A few minutes later, Xi Weng received the imperial decree: “Alright, send it to Blue Star as is, I’m genuinely curious about Su Yu’s reaction to this video…By the way, do we have any method to capture Su Yu’s expression?”
“I’m afraid not, Your Majesty.” Xi Weng replied, feeling troubled. “After all, Su Yu is in the Sanctuary; we don’t have any advanced measures to monitor him without him noticing.”
“What a pity.”
…
Half an hour later, the sky on Blue Star suddenly darkened.
Regardless of the brilliant sunshine or the dark looming rainclouds, every Blue Star human could feel the abrupt darkening of the sky.
Xue Wenli was deep in the southwestern mountains of Bashu at the time, seeking to convince a mighty ancient figure named “Wang Mang” to return to the world and help humanity win the war.
She noticed the previously clear sky unexpectedly darken.
“Is it about to rain?” Xue Wenli looked up at the sky.
But upon looking up, she noticed that it wasn’t clouds obstructing the sun but rather an unusual darkening of the sky.
“Something’s not right!” Realizing this, she pulled out her phone intending to call headquarters to enquire.
Just as she unlocked her phone and opened the contacts, a distortion appeared in the sky above.
Consecutively, a large image unfurled in the sky.
The scene in the image was of Prime Minister Cao Cao, Pu Langte, and Victoria having a conversation, with subtitles in both Chinese and English at the bottom of the screen.
If Xue Wenli had been at the headquarters, she could have witnessed a shocking scene—globally, the spotlights from 3725 Giant Skru Bases shot up into the sky, forming a huge image that spanned the entire Blue Star, clear from any location on the planet’s surface.
People walking down the street started to look up at the sky. After seeing the conversation between Cao Cao and the Skru, many were surprised, standing slack-jawed, their minds numb.
Most people were aware of the onslaught of over 3000 monsters; Su Yu had mentioned it during a live stream, and it was a hot topic online at the moment.
Everyone initially assumed they would walk directly out from the bases, but now the Skru planned to amass all the monsters at once through the “Gravity Funnel” plan!
This prompted one terrifying thought: annihilation of nations!
Even the mighty Huaxia Nation would have a hard time enduring such enormous pressure, let alone other countries.
In the final part of the video, Cao Cao surrenders!
Everyone has heard of Cao Cao’s bravery—in a legendary battle, he famously fought a Skru God Level enemy wielding a super-god weapon hilt which had a profound impact on people.
Many softly prayed for his wellbeing, hoping he wouldn’t die in exile.
Now, Cao Cao was not dead, but had chosen to surrender to the Skru.
Although he surrendered to the Skru to protect his country from disaster, this news was undoubtedly a massive blow to the morale of the people of Blue Star!
…
This video also sparked huge controversy abroad!
Once the “Gravity Funnel” plan commences, it cannot be stopped; inevitably, one nation will suffer. But which nation will be the unlucky one to bear the brunt?
Moreover, with the old man from the Huaxia Nation surrendering to the Skru, if we lose the war, won’t the people of other regions become sacrificial lambs while Huaxia Nation remains untouched due to their reservation policy?
Driven by the sentiment of “better to be less but fair than more but unjust,” people from all around the world took to the streets in protest.
From Paris in Hair Country, London in the United Kingdom, Constantinople of Turkey, to Santiago…
In any city with significant population, there were as endless streams of protestors, as if floodwaters unleashed.
According to committed observers, the global protest reached the staggering scale of tens of millions by evening!
In the beginning, these protestors did not know what to protest against.
Protest against Cao Cao’s surrender?
What good would their protest do?
Protest against the Skru’s reservation policy for the Huaxia Nation?
That wouldn’t help either!
In the end, after serious discussions, the protestors rallied to disband the Blue Star United Government and urged the government to prioritize national interests.
…
As for the gaming world, Su Yu’s private messages exploded almost instantaneously.
The guild leaders in the chat room kept mentioning Su Yu, saying that something significant had happened and asked him to check out the forum immediately.
Upon visiting the official game forum and reading the video posted by the Skru, Su Yu couldn’t help but smirk bitterly.
He had no knowledge of this “Gravity Funnel.” Nothing like this had happened in his previous life.
Before launching their attack in the previous life, the Skru occasionally released a few monsters to decimate human settlements—main industrial bases, high-energy particle physics laboratories, critical military bases, nuclear missile silos, and such.
If Su Yu remembered correctly, in the six months prior, only 352 monsters were unleashed, averaging less than 60 a month, causing limited impact on civilians.
The Skru’s release of more than 3000 monsters, all concentrated in one location this time, was undoubtedly an attempt to annihilate nations!
The decision of Cao Cao to surrender for his country was expected.
If Su Yu were in his position, he’d probably surrender too!
…
Returning to the game with a heavy heart.
As soon as Su Yu came online, many guild leaders in the chat room, bombarded him with messages, asking, “Boss Ke, what’s your take on this?”
Su Yu replied, “Me? I just read the forums.”
The guild leaders: “…..”
[Red-Eyed Black Dragon]: “Not that, we mean your thoughts on Cao Cao’s surrender.”
“Right.”
“Right.”
“Exactly.”
“In my opinion,” Su Yu replied in the chat room, “This is a cunning move by the Skru.”
“If Cao Cao surrenders, it will hit morale; if he doesn’t, our nation will be the prime target of the Gravity Funnel. There’s no optimal solution.”
[Shepherd in the Clouds]: “Then, Boss Ke, what should we do?”
“If you ask me…”
Su Yu paused a bit, responding a few seconds later: “I think everyone should avoid being influenced by the Skru. Carry on leveling up and gathering equipment like before, leave this matter to the government to decide!”
“The decision-makers are level-headed, as demonstrated by the speedy development of the Blue Star United Government. I believe they can come up with a rational decision to deal with this crisis.”
A moment of silence ensued in the guild leaders’ chat room, followed swiftly by unanimous replies:
“Boss Ke is right!”
“Indeed, we can’t let the Skru distract us, leveling up and gaining strength is up to us.”
“As long as we are strong, we can overcome anything! Let’s urge our guild members to level up as per plan.”
“Sounds good.”
“Understood!”
