"Alright." Kang Hui agreed without hesitation.
In times of peace, an Eastern Alliance bastion admiral inviting a Northern Alliance bastion admiral aboard his own bastion would have been unthinkable. But now it seemed logical.
Tyrannosaurus and the two fleets escorting it followed the guidance ship. Soon Middle Heaven and Poseidon came into view.
Kang Hui had seen Middle Heaven before, but this was the first time he'd seen Neptune in person.
When he saw Neptune's sheer size and its statistics, he couldn't help but stare in shock.
Wouldn't this be even more powerful than the Terminator from back then?
Kang Hui had initially thought his forces were stronger than the East's, but now it seemed that Poseidon was a vassal of Middle Heaven's. Didn't that mean Middle Heaven was even more powerful than the East?
The Terminator had appeared at his side at some point. He patted him on the shoulder. "I don't want to think that way, but I have to admit the rise of the Eastern Alliance is unstoppable.
If we can defeat the aliens, then the Eastern Alliance will rise to new heights in no time at all.
There's nothing we can do to stop them. "
Kang Hui was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"My only hope now is to defeat the aliens. What happens to the Eastern Alliance is no longer my concern.
After all, the rise of the Eastern Alliance is an internal affair of humanity. "
The Terminator smiled. He'd long since come to terms with it.
He was overjoyed that he'd successfully reached Nirvana during his seclusion.
Many of the problems he'd had with his body had been solved by his cultivation.
But at the same time, he could feel the pressure of universal protogenia.
It was an indescribable sense of oppression. It was fine when he didn't use his power, but when he used his own laws, there seemed to be something extra in his laws. It would naturally extract his life force. Even with his strength, he would be greatly affected.
It was for this reason that Lan Qing's report, describing the situation with the aliens, that he decided to support the mission.
It was only at this level that they could understand the truth of Lan Qing's words.
Deep in the Terminator's heart he yearned for the information he'd received about God's Realm.
The aliens wanted to create their own God's Realm. Humanity had once had one, so why couldn't they create their own in the future?
Jueti, who had long since reached Nirvana and even the Infinite, had a greater say in this matter.
Through this campaign, Lan Jue hoped to learn more about Jue Di. At his level of cultivation, there were fewer and fewer things that interested him. Creating a God's Realm for humanity was one of them.
At last the three bastions were united.
Middle Heaven was the largest bastion in the center, flanked by Tyrannosaurus and Poseidon.
Add to that the twelve fleets that had been assembled, and they were a vast expanse of space.
Their forces were vast.
Although they had five fewer bastions than they had last time, their fleets were the same. In fact, they were even stronger than before.
The Hanhai Group's four fleets were well equipped, as were their weapons.
At Lan Qing's invitation, the three bastions, as well as their leaders, gathered at Middle Heaven.
The Eastern Alliance was represented by Lan Qing and the Keeper, who represented Skyfire Avenue. He was Skyfire Avenue's most senior Paragon, and the Eastern Alliance's chief scientist.
The Northern Alliance was represented by Admiral Kang and the Terminator. Chu Cheng remained behind on Tyrannosaurus.
The Hanhai Group's Huali was there, accompanied by Mo Xiao.
The three parties sat together to discuss a strategy.
The meeting room was not luxurious, and everything looked plain. But in this simple meeting room sat a group of people who would decide the fate of humanity.
Lan Qing inclined his head in greeting. "On behalf of the Eastern Alliance and Middle Heaven, I welcome you all."
The others returned the greeting.
Lan Qing's voice was low. "This is a moment of life and death for all of humanity.
We don't have much time left.
We've come up with a series of plans.
To prevent the aliens from intercepting our communications, we've asked you all to come. "
"Admiral Lan Qing, has Lan Jue returned?" Huali couldn't help but ask.
Lan Qing looked at her. "Not yet, but he's on his way back."
Huali heaved a sigh of relief. "As long as he's safe.
What did he find out? "
"We'll have to wait for him to return," Lan Qing said. "We'll know when he returns. Lan Jue's secret communicator tells me they've gained a lot.
He's also confirmed our suspicions.
We just don't know what he found out. "
It was still the same situation. In order to prevent the aliens from intercepting their communications, they couldn't use long-distance communication.
"In other words," the Terminator said, "their scouts have confirmed that the aliens are evolving?"
Lan Qing nodded. "Yes.
That's why I've called you all here to discuss a strategy.
I'll tell you what we've come up with, then we'll work together to finalize the plan.
Once Lan Jue returns.
We'll use the information he brought back to refine the plan.
Then we'll act.
Time waits for no man. "
The Terminator nodded. "I agree.
Admiral Lan Qing, please tell us your plan. "
Lan Qing's voice was low. "Right now, our plan is to attack as fast as we can.
In terms of overall strength, we're weaker than the aliens. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't stand a chance.
But this time we have no choice but to gamble. If we don't we'll have no chance. "
"Our plan is predicated on the fact that the alien planets have begun to evolve and are unable to use most of their abilities.
In other words, our main opponents are the aliens, the Violet Prince, Princess, and other possible avatars of the home worlds.
These high-level creatures are at least Third Order Sovereigns. "
