A few days later, at dusk, a brand-new small garden-style manor was located on the outskirts of the old city of Magic City, and the villa inside was renovated from a very retro building.

At this time, Su Mo was standing on the balcony on the second floor in his pajamas, looking into the distance.

An extremely spectacular scene came into view. The ruins of the old city that were originally bulldozed have been built into a brand new interstellar airport. The all-metal integrated giant terminal building, each floor is fifty meters high. It is obvious that this is not used.

To accommodate normal aircraft.

Su Mo did some research and found that the entire federation has planned a total of twenty-four interstellar airports, eighteen of which are built in Area M, Area Z, Area E, and Area O, and the remaining six are located in other areas.

In two months, the twenty-four interstellar airports were basically completed in time while rushing at all costs.

It can be regarded as the largest construction project in recent years.

Su Mo picked up his phone and took a look. Today is the last day of the year, and tonight is the New Year. In previous years, this day was definitely very lively, and every household was welcoming the new year.

But it was unusually quiet today because everyone was waiting for the Cup of Heaven to begin.

At the same time, this morning, Su Mo received a public text message issued by the federation. Starting from this morning, the entire federation entered a level 1 war-ready state.

Su Mo looked at the streets of Magic City from a distance and could see groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolling the streets. At the same time, armored vehicles and tanks drove out, and aircraft roared by from time to time in the sky.

According to the prompts of the closed Star Ring game, the Cup of Heaven will be officially opened at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Su Mo also became more and more inexplicably curious about what this Cup of Heaven looked like.

...

Inside the Administrative Building of the Imperial Capital Center of Federal District Z.

Long Ming was wearing a blue robe dotted with stars. He sat firmly on a chair and rested with his eyes closed. There were also various members of the Federation sitting next to him. But most of them were restless. As the time for the Cup of Heaven approached,

Everyone is very nervous, after all, we are about to face an unknown new world.

On the wall of the room, a large mechanical clock kept moving.

When the hour hand reached half past eleven, a dull bell rang.

Boom~

Long Ming opened his eyes, stood up, and said to Auglas and others: "Let's go!"

All the congressmen looked shocked and followed him one after another.

Under the leadership of Long Ming, everyone came to a special elevator inside the administrative building. The place was heavily guarded, and everyone went deep underground through the elevator.

The elevator door opened and everyone walked out. An alloy gate with a height of thirty meters came into view.

Long Ming pressed his hand on the identification code device.

"Fingerprint recognition passed!"

"Pupillary recognition passed!"

"Biometric identification passed!"

....

After passing the recognition instructions one after another, click!

The huge alloy gate slowly rose, and a spectacular underground mechanical room came into view. Countless optical cables were densely covered inside, and all of those optical cables extended to the central area.

In the very center of the mechanical room, there is a very special metal pointed pillar with a special metal Rubik's Cube embedded in the center.

Everyone walked up to the metal pointed pillar, their hearts in their throats.

This is the cornerstone for the opening of the star ring, and it was also what they obtained from space.

Long Ming raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. When the time reached twelve o'clock, he immediately stepped forward and led everyone in bowing to the metal pointed pillar.

The House of Representatives also followed Long Ming's sonorous and powerful declaration.

"Long Ming, President of the Earth Star Civilization Federation, hereby takes the oath."

"I am willing to use faith and life as fuel to ignite the fire of civilization and start the star ring to conquer the cup of star ring sky. Even if it is beyond redemption, I will never regret it..."

"Willing to use faith and life as fuel, ignite the fire of civilization, and start the Star Ring Conquest for the Cup of Star Ring Sky..."

....

While everyone was taking the solemn oath, Long Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metal pillar.

In an instant, the whole metal pointed pillar looked like an iron tree blooming!

Click!

Countless prismatic metal squares pop up.

The metal Rubik's Cube embedded in the center floated, and then the metal ceiling above the head cracked open layer by layer.

In the next second, the metal Rubik's Cube automatically rotated and began to split, and then a sky-wide beam of light rushed into the dark sky.

Like a sharp knife cutting through the dark night sky, like a path pointing to the light in the darkness.

For a time, everyone in the world could see this extremely spectacular scene.

Su Mo's heart trembled slightly as he watched the beam of light rising into the sky.

.....

Looking down from the sky, you can see a beam of light passing through the atmosphere, and then spreading out to form a huge blue halo circle.

It was like an angel's halo, immediately enveloping the entire earth star together with the nearby moon and stars.

The next second, the scene around the Earth Star and Moon Star began to shift and undergo earth-shaking changes.

In the Earth Star, everyone looked up to the starry sky, and saw that the whole world was shrouded in a special halo, and the light pillar reaching the sky was like the only guiding light in the world, illuminating everyone.

Many people watching and watching made sounds of horror, and even involuntarily felt curiosity, excitement, worry, panic and other emotions.

Su Mo's heart couldn't help but speed up when he saw this strange sight that had never been seen in a thousand years. It was really shocking.

Fortunately, the whole process did not last long. In just over half an hour, the sky-wide beam of light began to dissipate.

At this time, the cracked metal Rubik's Cube then rotated again, and a special halo appeared on its surface.

Long Ming and others subconsciously took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, a loli with an extremely cute appearance wearing a colorful skirt appeared. In other words, the virtual holographic image of Goli who had led them into the star ring appeared.

"Dear pioneers of civilization, welcome to your arrival. I am Ge Li. I am honored to tell you that you are fortunate enough to participate in the Cup of Heaven and get a chance to have a new life. I also know that you must be very confused, but it doesn't matter. All your doubts are gone.

The answer will be obtained. I officially represent the will of the Star Halo and extend an invitation to you to go to the City of the Star Halo."

"Where is the city around the stars?"

Long Ming took a deep breath and asked.

Then Geli waved her hand lightly, and a special virtual image appeared.

In the starry sky of the vast sea, a gyro-like shape was seen. The entire body was made of metal and was several times larger than a giant planet. A star-ring city surrounded by seven halo rings of different sizes and colors emerged.

The illusory image begins to zoom in, and you can see that its surface is densely covered with pitch-black gun barrels, and its reflected luster is intimidating. Its interior is densely covered with various metal buildings, including a magnificent interstellar shipyard, both up and down, left and right.

There are dense automated mechanized processing plants, and there are extremely wide interstellar ports, with interstellar battleships docked one after another. Looking inside, intricate circular orbits are intertwined...

The ultra-futuristic Star Ring City left everyone stunned.

"How do we get there?"

"As the winner of the Earth Cup, you will get your last interstellar ship for free. You can take that ship to the city around the stars, and I will receive you then. In addition, I need to tell you that I will go to the ring like you.

There are twelve other winners of civilizations in Star City, and they will also ride on starships, and attacks on each other and conflicts are strictly prohibited on the road."

Ge Li replied with a smile.

Just when Long Ming was about to ask.

The light of the metal Rubik's Cube is getting dimmer and dimmer, as if the energy has been exhausted.

Geli's figure gradually disappeared.

"I am waiting for your arrival in the Star Ring City."

...

Augustolas and others looked at Long Ming at a loss.

"Chairman of the Longming Council, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, do we really want to go?"

"Could this be a trap?"

...

Long Ming was also a little undecided at this time. This thing happened too suddenly, and now it is different from the past. In the past, Star Ring could more or less be called a game, but now they are facing another advanced civilization. Once one step

If you make a mistake, you will make mistakes every step of the way.

At this moment, Li Ruiqi hurriedly walked in and said to Long Ming.

"President Longming, an unknown ship has appeared in the sky and is landing at the interstellar airport in the imperial capital. It has caused extreme panic. The fighter formation has locked onto the ship. But no response has been received for any calls. Now in the air

The formation leader is seeking instructions for the next step, should we launch an attack?"
