Chapter 385 Federal Actions
The next morning, before the first rays of starlight had completely dispelled the darkness.
A top-level announcement, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Great Xia Federation, was instantly synchronized through the quantum network to every administrative planet, every city, and even every civilian spaceship currently in motion within the Federation's territory.
Huge holographic projections lit up the skies above major cities.
That was the "Holy Radiance" emblem, symbolizing the highest power of the Federation. Immediately following, a line of bold, blood-red characters, exuding a chilling aura, came into the view of trillions of citizens:
[Federal Supreme Joint Operations Directive: Announcement Regarding the Launch of the "Cleansing World" Special Military Operation]
"Given the recent surge in interstellar piracy and the detection of multiple instances of alien spies infiltrating the Federation, which seriously threaten the Federation's security and stability."
"With the approval of the Federal Supreme Council, the joint law enforcement team of the five great families will conduct a year-long 'carpet-style' security inspection of the entire federal territory, starting immediately."
Operation codename: Cleanse the World.
"During this period, all star systems, all planets, and all citizens must unconditionally cooperate with the law enforcement team's inspections. Any act of obstruction, concealment, or refusal to inspect will be considered treason and will be punished with death!"
"For the glory of the Federation, for the future of humanity, we ask for the understanding and support of all citizens."
This is like pouring a ladle of cold water into a calm pan of oil; the entire Great Xia Federation instantly boils over.
Within minutes, the traffic on federal network forums, social media, and holographic live streaming rooms across various star systems exploded.
[Federal Star Network - Current Affairs Hot Topics Section]
Countless comments flooded the page like a waterfall.
User [Interstellar Wanderer]: "Holy crap! Are they serious? Operation 'Purification'? That name alone is terrifying! I'm eighty years old, and this is the first time I've ever seen the Federation go on such a massive operation!"
User [Loves Braised Pork]: "This should have been investigated a long time ago! Those space pirates have been too arrogant lately. Last month, my uncle's cargo ship was hijacked in the outer star system, and we didn't even hear a sound. The Federation has finally taken action, I support it!"
User [Rational Analyst]: "Don't get too excited, upstairs. With such a big commotion, it's definitely not just about a few pirates. Didn't you see the announcement mention 'alien spies'? I bet it's either because the fighting on the front lines is getting intense, or the demons have created some new parasite, which is why the Federation is in a panic."
User [Fearless Keyboard Warrior]: "Heh, am I the only one who finds this strange? Do they need to seal off the entire territory to catch pirates? And check every single household? I think this is clearly some big shot looking for something important, or... a political purge?"
User [Federal Loyal Guardian]: "Upstairs, your IP has been locked. Spreading rumors, be careful the law enforcement team might call you in. The federal government is doing this for our safety; conspiracy theorists like you are either stupid or malicious!"
User [Onlooker]: "Stop arguing! Look out the window! My goodness, is that the Luo family's 'Mysterious Bird-class' starship? It's blotting out the sky! That's so cool!"
……
The noise on the internet, though lively, is ultimately just a facade.
These ordinary federal citizens, no matter how hard they racked their brains, could never guess the real reason for this massive operation: it was all because of one person, because of a reincarnator named "Han Feiyu".
The existence of the Samsara Palace is an open secret within the upper echelons of society, but for the vast majority of ordinary people living at the bottom, and even low-level cultivators, it remains an untouchable myth, or even a fantasy that only exists in novels.
They don't realize that the so-called "purification of the world" doesn't purify the world, but rather the "variables."
[Great Xia Federation, Fuxi Star Region, Administrative Star No. 72]
Rumble—!!!
The roar of the atmosphere being torn apart echoed through the sky.
A jet-black warship, tens of thousands of meters long, hovered above the city like a steel behemoth.
A huge shadow was cast down, making the neon lights of the entire city appear dim and lifeless.
Below the warship, countless small landing craft swarmed out like bees, quickly taking control of the city's major transportation routes.
"Listen up, everyone!"
A majestic voice, amplified by spiritual energy, echoed over the city:
"Routine checks are now in progress! Everyone stay where you are, activate your identity bracelets, and release your spiritual energy for scanning!"
"Anyone attempting to conceal their cultivation level or use a concealment technique will be considered a hostile target and killed on the spot!"
On the street, the people who were originally walking in a hurry had to stop.
A simply dressed rogue cultivator, because he was a little slow, was trying to hide a black market spirit herb he had just bought into his storage bag.
call out!
A laser beam shot out from the drone overhead and struck him precisely at his feet, blasting a charred crater.
"Final warning! Hands behind your head!"
The rogue cultivator turned pale with fright, dropped the spiritual herbs in his hands, and hurriedly raised his hands, trembling as he accepted the scan.
Similar scenes are playing out simultaneously on hundreds of millions of planets in the Great Xia Federation.
The five great families are serious this time.
They not only deployed regular law enforcement teams, but also used the "Sky Eye System" and "Soul Resonance Device," which are only activated in interstellar warfare.
This instrument is extremely domineering; it scans your soul strength and physical activity regardless of your willingness.
If your data does not match the records in the file, or if there is an unusual surge recently, you will immediately be listed as a key suspect and taken away for "in-depth investigation".
This thorough search, while failing to find the legendary "Han Feiyu," unexpectedly unearthed a whole host of old grievances.
Countless wanted criminals, evil cultivators, and spies disguised as members of various alien races hidden among the people have been exposed in this costly investigation.
They even caught a huge fish that surprised everyone.
……
【Great Xia Federation - Edge Star Region - Bone Star】
This is a planet abandoned due to resource depletion, shrouded in yellow sand and radiation year-round. Only a very few vicious criminals or desperate fugitives fleeing from enemies would hide here.
However, today, this lifeless planet is facing its end.
Dozens of interstellar warships bearing the character "Qin" on their emblems surrounded the entire planet.
"Reporting, sir! Extremely subtle yet unusually powerful life energy has been detected in an underground rift in the northern hemisphere of the Bone Star! Preliminary assessment... energy level exceeds eighth rank!"
Inside the flagship command center, an operator reported in a trembling voice.
"More than level eight?"
The Qin family commander in charge of this operation, a middle-aged man with an eighth-level cultivation, had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Such a powerful figure is hiding in this godforsaken place? Regardless of whether it's Han Feiyu or not, this person is definitely suspicious!"
"Pass down the order: activate the 'Space Locking Array' to seal off the space jump nodes! Notify the Ancestor and request backup!"
