"Every planet is home to a powerful progenitor.
These progenitors invade and devour the life force of the planet.
At the same time, they are also the main culprits who infected our compatriots.
If we can kill them, then we can at least ensure that those who are still alive won't be infected.
Then our armies will join in the attack. We won't give the aliens a chance to kill our people.
Perhaps we'll be able to save more lives. "
"This plan may not be able to save many people, because we may not be able to win this war.
However, this is the last moment of our human race. We can only do everything we can to ensure their survival.
That's why I came up with this plan. "
All the Paragons listened attentively to Lan Jue's explanation. Both Satan and the Pontiff were surprised when they heard that Lan Jue wanted to find a way to save the seven planets.
They were both members of the Western Alliance, and had deep feelings for the Western Alliance.
From what they could see, the Eastern Alliance and the Western Alliance had never been on good terms. The Western Alliance had targeted the Eastern Alliance on many occasions.
The Eastern Alliance had come to attack the aliens. They had thought it was more to save themselves. If they won, the Eastern Alliance would reap great benefits.
But as they listened to Lan Jue, something changed in their minds.
She was going to risk her life to save the people of the Western Alliance!
It was pointless in the grand scheme of things.
If they were going to do this, they wouldn't be selling favors. The Western Alliance was gone, who would they sell to?
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Satan and the Pontiff exchanged a look. They could see the surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Lan Jue continued. "But this mission will be dangerous.
According to our last investigation, each of these planets is home to an avatar of the alien home worlds. The Violet Prince or the Princess may be among them.
They are at least Nirvana Paragon, and some have even reached the Infinite.
They also have a host of aliens to help them.
The progenitor will also be a Paragon. "
"That's why I think we need to concentrate on killing the Void Mother, if possible.
Kill the avatars of the home worlds as well.
That way, they would be able to save their own people and weaken the Marauders.
Create an opportunity for our main force. "
"According to the overall battle plan, our army will first capture a relatively large administrative planet as a foundation.
This administrative planet is also our primary target.
Once we're done with this planet's Void Mother, we'll turn to the other Void Mothers.
According to our current manpower.
I think we can split into two groups to hunt the Void Mother.
It would be safer this way.
Does any of the Paragons have any objections? "
The Paragons of Skyfire Avenue were silent. Lan Jue had already spoken with them, and they all agreed.
Even Paragons couldn't do much in an interstellar war.
This kind of surprise attack was the most suitable way of fighting for them.
"I support you," Satan suddenly said.
The Pontiff nodded.
He stared intently at Lan Jue. If he could, he'd tear this young man to pieces.
The Pontiff's Citadel had fallen because of this young man. But now they were all united against a common enemy. There was no time for personal vendettas.
The Terminator nodded to Lan Jue. "I support you as well."
"Splitting into two groups isn't a good idea."
Jueti spoke up.
As the strongest human being in the world, his words were undoubtedly of great importance.
Jueti looked at Lan Jue. "Split into three groups.
I'll be responsible for three planets.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Each group will be responsible for two planets. "
Had these words come from anyone else's mouth, especially in front of so many Paragons, it would have caused an uproar. It would have been seen as arrogant and conceited.
But coming from Jue Di's mouth, it was a perfectly logical statement.
It was as it should have been.
Lan Jue looked at her father worriedly.
She wanted to say something, but didn't.
"Very well.
In that case, I'll split up the teams.
Jueti's Majesty will be in his own group.
He'll be responsible for three planets.
The other Paragons were led by His Majesty the Terminator. His Majesty the Pontiff, Satan, the Cosmagus, the Epochrion, the Divine Monarch of Arcana, the Karmic Confucian, and the God of Wine were also present.
Eight Paragons in total.
The third group will be led by the Photographer, the Arhat of the Taming Dragon, the Driver, and the Femme Fatale.
The Infernal Vanguard and myself will be led by Zhou Qianlin. "
The Terminator was taken aback by Lan Jue's decision. The Photographer was also a Nirvana Paragon, but there was an imbalance between the two groups. There were eight Paragons on his side.
That included the Epochrion and the Epochrion, two Reflections of Heaven and Earth.
The Pontiff and Satan were not yet Paragons, but they were among the most senior of Paragons.
Lan Jue's group, on the other hand, had only five Paragons. Roxanne was the only Nirvana Paragon, and the rest were first rank Paragons. Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin were at the peak of ninth rank, but not yet Paragons.
If Jueti was included, they would be strong enough. But without Jueti they were weak.
The Terminator's brows furrowed. "Why don't you add another Paragon to your group? We'll have one less."
Lan Jue smiled and shook her head. "Thank you for your kind offer, Your Majesty.
To tell you the truth, Qian Lin and I could become Paragons at any time, so we have seven Paragons on our side. When Qian Lin and I break through, we can use a special attack that should be of some use.
That's why I think we're strong enough.
Our group will also be responsible for the planet we'll be fighting on. Star Division will be supporting us from behind. That's why I've decided.
The Paragons will have to face the aliens alone, so of course we'll need to be stronger. "
Hearing his explanation, the Terminator didn't say anything else.
Lan Jue's decision made sense. First of all, he couldn't be in the same group as the Terminator, the Pontiff, and Satan.
It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but he didn't want them to see him and Zhou Qianlin break through.
Although they were all working together, there were some secrets that needed to be protected.
On his side, he had the Pharmacist, the Banshee Faerie. She was no weaker than a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, and so was the Driver's yin-yang lightning. In terms of combat prowess, there was no doubt.
Then there was the fact that he and Zhou Qianlin could break through at any time. With the power of their swords, they weren't weak.
Roxanne's Nirvana was different from the Terminator's. She'd been at Nirvana for many years, and if not for her fear of universal protogenia, with Jueti's guidance she could have broken through to the Infinite.
With her in charge, they could teleport away at any time. She was perfect.
Now that the groups were divided, it was time to plan the battle.
Jueti chose three neighboring planets, looking relaxed and casual.
Only a few of those present had personally witnessed Jue Di's strength. But they were all Paragons, and they could feel the power of Jue Di's aura as clear as the abyss.
The other two groups picked their targets as well.
It was decided that the Paragons would be responsible for the ambush.
The meeting came to an end, and the two groups split up to discuss their strategy.
Jueti remained with Lan Jue's group.
"Dad, your body …" Lan Jue whispered to Jueti after the Terminator and the others had left.
Jueti waved his hand dismissively. "What time do we have to worry about that?
Besides, the vital crystal we got last time is useful to me. At least I can use it.
If we can get a higher level vital crystal, it'll be even more useful.
This mission isn't necessarily a bad thing for me.
You don't need to think too much about it, just follow the normal course of events.
My three planets won't be a problem unless the alien planets themselves come. "
"Alright.
You have to take care of yourself, "Lan Jue urged.
Seeing the concern in Lan Jue's eyes, Jueti chuckled. "Keep an eye on your mother. Don't let her do anything rash."
Roxanne huffed. "How am I rash?
Chi Bupang, explain yourself. "
Jueti rolled his eyes. "Fine, don't you think I don't know what kind of person you are?
You're the same. Protect my son and daughter-in-law. If anything happens to them, hmph! "
"Hmph your face."
Roxanne's tone was disdainful, but her eyes never left Jueti's face. There was a trace of worry in the depths of her eyes.
Even she didn't know what Jueti's condition was.
Jueti had been at the Infinite for many years now, and was on the verge of ascending to the next level. However, he didn't have the ability to suppress himself like the alien planets, or hide from universal protogenia.
That was why he hadn't dared to advance. Once he did, universal protogenia would destroy him.
And in this battle, if he encountered a sufficiently powerful opponent, would he be able to continue suppressing his strength?
Roxanne didn't know. Even she didn't know.
She'd have to wait and see for herself.
Three bastions and twelve fleets spread out in formation as they made their way toward the seven planets. It was a sight to behold.
