The home worlds' goal wasn't to destroy humanity, but to complete their evolution and create their own immortal realm.
Destroying humanity didn't mean much to them. Once they were done, destroying humanity would be a simple matter.
The possibilities of his plan ran through Lan Qing's mind. His thoughts became clearer.
Zhou Qianlin and Lan Jue had evolved, and Roxanne had become an Infinite-level Paragon. All of this was more than he could have hoped for.
Judging from Lan Jue's situation, his Discipline was no lower than Lan Jue's. With the Harmonious Swords, Lan Jue and Lan Jue were probably the fourth most powerful Paragons, second only to Jue Di, Luo Xianni and the Terminator.
Even the Terminator wouldn't be able to stand up to their combined strength.
Humanity's strength had risen again, and they hadn't suffered many losses in the first battle.
Now it was up to the next battle.
"Report!" A hurried voice rang out.
"Speak!" Lan Qing opened his eyes and looked at the messenger.
According to current rules, important information had to be relayed directly to a subordinate.
"We've just received a report from Scout Ship Sixteen. Two planets have lost their purple hue." As he spoke, he ran over and handed Lan Qing a report.
Lan Qing glanced at it, and a faint smile appeared on his face. His old man was indeed worthy of being called his old man!
He wasn't called humanity's strongest for nothing.
Two planets losing their purple hue meant the progenitors had fallen. Jueti was in charge of both planets, and only Jueti was capable of such a feat in such a short time.
"Is there any news from the scouting ships heading towards Europa?"
"Not yet," the officer replied.
"They'll be in range in about an hour.
Communication is normal.
There's nothing out of the ordinary. "
"Good. Let me know as soon as you hear anything."
Scouting Europa was of utmost importance. Only by doing so would they be able to determine if the alien home worlds were still there.
According to the current situation, the defeated alien army was gathered around the two planets, but there were no other movements.
It seemed to be protecting the two planets.
Of those two, one belonged to the Terminator's team, and the other to Lan Jue's team.
The Terminator had yet to send back any news, but they had managed to infiltrate the planet during the battle.
The exact situation was still unclear.
Lan Jue and the rest had yet to set off to kill the second Void Mother as they needed to heal the mutated human.
Now Lan Qing was faced with the question of whether to split his forces and attack both sides simultaneously, or to focus on one.
The aliens weren't adept at long-range attacks, but they could fly fast.
At the very least, most human ships wouldn't be able to catch up.
This was why the aliens were able to leave the battlefield after paying a certain price.
If they split their forces, the aliens would be in trouble if they set up an ambush.
If they focused on one side, the aliens would be able to use their advantage in speed to attack Angel.
So while it looked like they had won the first battle, the aliens weren't in a panic. It was hard to say how they would fare in the future.
After the first skirmish, it was hard to say if the aliens would continue to fight the humans.
If the aliens had the advantage in speed, the humans would have to deal with one thing and lose sight of the other.
This was something Lan Qing needed to consider.
"Bide our time and wait for our chance." Lan Qing muttered to himself.
Kang Hui had already contacted him to ask if he wanted to continue the attack, but Lan Qing had refused.
The human army was resting and reorganizing, with no intention of continuing the assault.
Lan Qing knew now wasn't the time. He needed to stabilize the situation on Angel before anything else could be discussed.
The alien army's movements were a major problem. What he needed to do now was wait.
Although the alien home worlds were still evolving, this wasn't the time to rush things.
He needed to create another opportunity for the alien army to attack the human army. This was the only way he could defeat the enemy while paying the smallest price.
If he didn't defeat the aliens, there was no way to defeat the alien home worlds.
Lan Qing's thoughts were clear.
Beep! Beep! His communicator buzzed.
"How is it?" Lan Qing asked.
Lan Jue's voice answered. "It's done. There are no more mutants on Angel.
I didn't expect Qian Lin's protogenia to have such an effect. Our luck isn't half bad! "
A smile crept across Lan Qing's face. "Get some rest, then we'll continue the mission.
The aliens have split into two groups. One group will gather on the target planet, the other on the Terminator's side.
I'll create an opportunity for you to land, but you need to be quick. Kill the progenitor and get back as soon as possible. "
"Don't worry, we're confident." Lan Jue's voice was resolute.
Luo Xianni was now an Infinite-level powerhouse, the same level as Jue Di. Add to that the fact that he and Qianlin were both much stronger than before. What else could they say if they didn't have a chance?
Zeus -1 had long since arrived on Angel, waiting for Lan Jue and the others.
Lan Qing spoke up. "Qian Lin's protogenia can save lives, but I must warn you. The mutants on your second planet are not yet ready to be saved. Do not attempt to save them.
If you do, it will bring disaster to those you've healed.
You only have one goal, and that is to kill the Void Mother and cut off its life energy transmission. "
"Alright, I understand." Lan Jue understood her brother's warning.
According to the plan, humanity's first objective was to take over Angel. They didn't plan on taking over the other planets because they didn't have the manpower to do so.
Splitting their forces would only bring disaster to the allied forces.
Lan Jue understood this as well.
A faint smile spread across Lan Jue's face. He'd been waiting for this day for a long time.
He was finally a Paragon, and it was time to show his prowess.
After ending the call with Lan Qing, Lan Jue, Zhou Qianlin, and Roxanne returned to the gymnasium. They met up with the other three Paragons, then contacted Mika and boarded Zeus -1.
They headed straight for the second target of their trip.
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin didn't need to rest. Zhou Qianlin had gathered a great deal of energy from the demonized corpses, and Lan Jue had benefited greatly.
To Lan Jue's surprise, Zhou Qianlin's energy also contained faith.
Of all humanity's Paragons, the Pontiff was the one with the most faith.
The Pontiff's Citadel had many followers, and it was because of them that the Pontiff's Citadel had remained strong for so many years.
Now, however, the Western Alliance was on the brink of destruction. It was only natural that their faith would waver, especially after Zhou Qianlin's arrival like a savior.
Lan Jue didn't know how much faith benefited him, but he could sense that Zhou Qianlin's progress was faster than his own, and it was a steady improvement.
This was the benefit of the Queen of Heaven Discipline. Her Discipline didn't have much offensive power, but it was focused on saving the world.
She'd given up some things, but she'd also gained others.
Perhaps this was the best reward for Zhou Qianlin's kindness.
Roxanne sat cross-legged in a corner, recovering the energy she'd expended, and stabilizing her Discipline.
It had to be said that Qianlin had been a great help to her.
With Zhou Qianlin's Domain, Roxanne didn't have to worry too much about breaking through.
After his breakthrough, Qianlin's Domain quickly stabilized his cultivation.
Qianlin's Domain had been enhanced to its fullest by the three healers, and Luo Xianni had borne the brunt of it all.
Although it took a lot of energy, the stability of protogenia was the most important.
Stable protogenia was the best way to control and deceive universal protogenia.
She looked at Zhou Qianlin, then at Lan Jue.
Xiu Xiu's eyes dimmed. She felt the gap between her and Zhou Qianlin. Moreover, Zhou Qianlin's consciousness had recovered, so she didn't stand a chance.
The other three women fared better, but Xiu Xiu felt it the most.
But what could she do in this situation?
Feelings couldn't be forced.
Zeus -1 flew at high speed. Lan Jue already had all the information about the second target planet in her mind.
This target planet was slightly smaller than Angel. Volcanic eruptions often occurred there, so there were many black areas on the planet's surface.
This administrative planet was the one with the worst conditions among the eight occupied administrative planets, so there were not many people living here.
But it was rich in mineral resources, and could produce several precious metals. So, its status in the Western Alliance was even higher than Angel.
This planet was adjacent to Angel, so it was named the Malevolent Planet. It wasn't because they were enemies, but because of its unique characteristics.
There was no difference between a volcanic eruption and the arrival of a demon.
Volcanic eruptions would certainly bring disaster, but they would also bring vitality. Volcanic ash was rich in minerals, so the various vegetation on this planet had very strong vitality.
This was something other planets couldn't compare to.
