It was not to deliver all living beings from suffering, but to help those who needed help, to heal their wounds, and to help them find warmth and happiness again.
Her heart gradually became clear, and she finally became one with her own laws. From this moment onwards, she was the real Goddess of Mercy, the true ruler.
The white light continued, and batch after batch of mutants changed. Every time, millions of people were baptized at the same time.
When they broke free from the mutant state, the space door that sealed their spiritual world also disappeared, allowing them to regain their consciousness.
The process of the mutation was a painful experience for everyone. They clearly felt that their will was clear, but their hearts were full of destruction because of the genetic mutation. They wanted to control themselves, but they could not. This kind of pain was not something that outsiders could understand.
Seeing their fellow people become like this, they only wanted to destroy, to destroy everything around them.
Their own will was also constantly changing along with the violence brought about by their genes.
At this moment, when the violent power in their bodies disappeared, they felt a kind of energy that was like rain after a long drought.
That gentle energy cleansed their bodies, allowing them to find themselves again.
Then, they saw the beautiful Dharma in the sky. That faint white halo made them feel an unprecedented sense of belonging.
Although they were teleported to another place in a short period of time, no one could forget the appearance of the Dharma that appeared in front of them in that instant.
Rescue, this was a true rescue!
It was that person who gave them a chance to live again.
Those who had been teleported to another place and recovered could still see the 10,000-meter-tall Dharma from afar.
No one knew who was the first to kneel down and worship the huge Dharma. Gradually, more and more people were worshiping in that direction.
Tears and cries gradually appeared, but there were no other negative emotions.
At this moment, their faith had quietly changed.
And what these people brought about was a golden light that integrated into the Goddess of Mercy's domain.
The white light around Qianlin was slowly being dyed a pale gold. Her aura was also growing stronger and stronger, allowing her to cover a larger area and help more of the Mutants.
Lan Jue noticed that Zhou Qianlin's energy was growing stronger, and more pure. They had just broken through to Paragon, but now their cultivation was rising at an alarming rate.
After becoming a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, it was extremely difficult to advance. It required a deeper understanding of one's protogenia.
At this moment, they undoubtedly did not have a thorough understanding of their own Laws, but the enormous energy was pushing their Laws to slowly advance and change.
This was something Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin hadn't expected.
Even though such a quantitative change would never result in a qualitative change if they did not have enough understanding of the laws themselves, it would undoubtedly greatly shorten the time it took for them to improve in the future.
Up until now, when Zhou Qianlin and Lan Jue had cultivated together, it was Lan Jue who shared most of the burden. It was Zhou Qianlin who benefited from him.
Now, Zhou Qianlin's energy had completely reversed the situation. He was the one benefiting from her.
Lan Jue felt a strange sensation in his heart. He could see the people worshiping in this direction, and the goddess they worshiped was in his arms!
Wave after wave of Mutants were brought in. As Qianlin's power increased, so too did the rate at which they recovered.
The area they covered grew larger.
Time passed, and more and more people began to return to normal.
The landing forces began to explain the current situation to the people, calming them down and organizing them to gather in different areas.
This was their home. Although it had been badly damaged, there was still a chance for them to recover.
The aliens hadn't been here for too long, and not all life had been consumed. If that was the case, the Progenitor wouldn't have to stay here any longer.
The people were organized in an orderly fashion. The fleet first delivered a large amount of food and water to appease the people.
The people also began to look for familiar places to gather.
They would need more help later, but there was no doubt they had recovered.
Lan Qing recorded everything that happened on Angel and sent the precious footage to the Eastern Alliance and Northern Alliance.
The two Major League Councils were already under a lot of pressure from the aliens. The lack of trust in the military had led to a great deal of tension between the government and the people.
The news of victory finally calmed the people down.
Then, the video of the rescue finally calmed the people down.
When the people of the two Major League Councils and the rest of the Western Alliance Planets saw the goddess-like image spreading light to help the mutants recover, many of them shed tears of excitement. Nothing could unite the people more than this. Humanity still had the power to save their own kind.
The tension between the two Major League Councils was greatly alleviated. There were already voices calling for support on the frontlines.
Lan Qing and Kang Hui were the first to ask for reinforcements. The first request wasn't for troops, but for food. A lot of food.
Based on the current situation, the people on the other planets could also be saved. But saving them would require a lot of food and water.
Only by ensuring their ability to survive would more funding be meaningful.
Of course, those with a discerning eye knew this was only the beginning. What was more important was whether or not the allied forces could truly defeat the aliens. Only by destroying them could people rebuild their homes. This was the only way the threat to humanity could be resolved.
All of this rested on the frontlines.
Lan Qing had a rare moment of rest. He sat cross-legged on his sofa and closed his eyes.
His mind was racing. The first step of the plan had been a success. Now all he had to do was wait for the news.
They needed to know the exact location of the alien planets. Only by finding out where they were would they have a chance at victory.
Lan Qing's plan was specifically designed to prevent the alien planets from teleporting again.
Lan Qing didn't fear the alien planets' ability to teleport.
The reason was simple. If the alien planets could teleport again it meant they hadn't begun their evolution.
No matter where they teleported they would be drained of energy and subjected to universal protogenia.
At the same time, the alien planets had suffered heavy losses in the last battle. Many of their vital crystals had been taken away, which was a drain on their resources.
The Northern Alliance still had plenty of bastions. If the alien planets chose to teleport to them then the Northern Alliance would be able to hold their ground.
The Eastern Alliance also had a number of countermeasures. Although they only had one bastion left, the Eastern Alliance still had a number of hidden forces.
The Eastern Alliance had a large population, but it was relatively concentrated.
The Eastern Alliance had been the first to respond, so for a long time the Eastern Alliance had focused all of their railguns on the planets where most of the Eastern Alliance's people were gathered.
They used the planets as a base for defense.
Although they couldn't stop the aliens, they could at least hold out for a while.
As soon as the human armies realized the alien planets had teleported again they would launch an attack. The Eastern Alliance's railguns might not be able to stop them, but they would be able to hold out for a while. The Eastern Alliance also had a trump card, one that Lan Qing had asked them to keep.
On the planets where most of the Eastern Alliance's population was concentrated, several large teleportation portals had been built.
The Wine Master and Luo Xianni had meticulously set up each of the portals.
They had been built with the best interspatial gems and spared no effort. They could be reused many times over.
They were far more advanced than the one Lan Jue had built in the Shattered Starfields.
On the other side of Middle Heaven, a teleportation portal had been built. It was powered by the power of the element of ink.
With the Wine Master and Luo Xianni working together, they would be able to activate the portal and use it for long-distance teleportation.
They could transport ten people at a time.
In other words, if the East came under attack, Middle Heaven would be able to send ten of its strongest Paragons back to the East at the first sign of trouble.
With ten Paragons on the defense, holding out for a while shouldn't be a problem.
After all, the alien planets couldn't attack with all their might, and teleporting them was a drain on their energy reserves.
If they could hold out until the allied forces returned, then the aliens wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the Eastern Alliance would suffer heavy losses because of the alien planets' power.
But if they could delay the aliens, and the human armies remained intact, there was a chance they could turn defeat into victory.
Lan Qing's analysis revealed that the Eastern Alliance's risk outweighed their chances of success.
After all, it was more likely that the alien planets were already in the process of evolving.
For me, today is the most difficult day of my life. My wife will have to be wheeled into surgery. Tang Bingyao has been writing for us for twelve years, but behind the scenes she has always been the one to support me. She has borne so much for me, so much.
Everything I've received today, including your support, is half of what she's given me, perhaps even more.
She was with me when she was sixteen, and has been for more than sixteen years now. She is the most important part of my life, and I would rather die in her place than see anything bad happen to her.
In these difficult times, may I ask the readers of the Tang Sect to send their blessings to her?
I believe in your strength of will, and I believe that we will overcome this crisis.
Thank you all.
