The Clairvoyant had given each of the Four Divine Monarchs a pendant.
The others had all used their pendants during their breakthroughs.
Only Lan Jue's Starspark remained unused.
Even when he broke through to Paragon he didn't use it.
It couldn't help Lan Jue recover, but it could draw upon the power of the stars.
Lan Jue's heir was the Master of the Stars, the Great Emperor of the North Star.
The Master of the Stars could control the stars, but on the other hand, they could also feed on the Great Emperor.
When Lan Jue's protogenia was on the verge of collapse, she was nourished by the power of the stars. She was reborn, straightened out her protogenia, and completed her breakthrough. She was even more successful in drawing upon the power of the stars and stabilizing her cultivation.
Now that his side was stabilized, Zhou Qianlin's condition improved.
The nourishment of the stars allowed Lan Jue to straighten out her protogenia. He quickly passed on the changes to Zhou Qianlin, helping her to straighten out her protogenia.
Zhou Qianlin's Queen of Heaven Domain had the effect of stabilizing protogenia, but the energy and protogenia she'd just experienced were too much for her to handle.
As her protogenia was straightened out one by one, Zhou Qianlin's aura gradually calmed. The Queen of Heaven Domain spread out on its own, turning into a white mist that wrapped around the two. Protogenia stabilized, and the power of the stars condensed.
Both of their protogenia stabilized, and even seemed to be improving.
With a sigh, Jueti shook his head.
Roxanne also relaxed. She cried tears of joy. "The children are fine. Why are you sighing?"
Jue Di shook his head. "I never thought much of the old swindler. The way I saw it, he was just showing off his divination skills. In the face of absolute power, all prophecies are meaningless.
Now it seems I was too aware of the situation.
His divination skills have unimaginable power.
This time, it was his power that helped Ah Jue recover.
Although he is no longer around, he can still lead the future of humanity. I have to say that he truly deserves the title of Eye of Tomorrow. "
Luo Xianni smiled faintly and said, "Yes!
If he's still alive, we might have an easier time dealing with the Marauders. "
Jueti snorted coldly. "What's the point of living if you're already dead?"
Roxanne glanced at him. "Can I understand that you're jealous?"
Jueti pouted. "I only like to eat soy sauce.
The aliens had retreated as well. It looked like they were relying on the home worlds to hold their ground.
We still have trouble ahead of us. "
Roxanne's eyes followed his gaze to the distant home worlds. Her face grew serious once more.
The aliens were too strong. If they concentrated their forces, it would be impossible to defeat them. And even if they did, so what?
The result would only be a lose-lose situation.
Even if the alien army collapsed, they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
More importantly, the home worlds seemed to have retained some of their strength. They could help the aliens if they needed it.
No one knew if they still had the strength to fight, or how long it would take for their evolution to complete.
The allied forces didn't have the strength to defeat them!
"We'll just do our best. If we can't, then there's nothing we can do." Roxanne's voice was low.
Jueti's voice was cold. "There's no rush. The aliens must have a weakness.
They're strong, but I don't think they have the ability to join the battle. If they did, we'd already be defeated.
Lan Qing had to have a plan in place, one that was highly targeted.
Perhaps we still have a chance.
Right now, we attack and they defend.
Attack the enemy's weak points and look for a weakness.
If our deaths here can defeat the aliens, it'll be worth it.
When the time comes, who knows … "
At this point, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
Lan Qing saw that Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin had stabilized, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least there hadn't been any major problems.
As long as Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin were fine, victory was assured.
"What's the casualty tally?" Lan Qing asked. He was in the mood to ask.
"It's done."
A damage report appeared in front of Lan Qing.
The loss of the human army was not small. In the earlier battle, humanity lost more than 5,000 Space Combat Jets, more than 300 battleships were destroyed, and more than 600 battleships were damaged.
One of them was heavily damaged and temporarily lost the ability to fight again.
The three bastions had used up a lot of energy, especially Neptune. According to them, it wouldn't be able to transform for a while, and needed time to recover.
Tyrannosaurus had also used up a lot of energy. When the three bastions attacked, it had fired two of its main cannons.
Middle Heaven had been the most drained, but thanks to its ink core it was able to replenish its energy quickly.
Of course, that was assuming the core's stability decreased.
Humanity's losses weren't heavy, but they were no small matter.
The number of dead was still being tallied.
Star Division had suffered more than thirty casualties. It was the first time since Star Division was formed that they'd suffered such a loss.
However, in such an intense space battle, who could guarantee that they would survive?
It had been a brutal battle. But while the humans had suffered heavy losses, so had the enemy.
The aliens had left at least sixty thousand corpses on Angel and the main battlefield. Every one of them was strong enough to fight in space.
Among them were five of the strongest. Unfortunately, only two of their vital crystals had survived. The other three had been devoured by Lan Jue's Gate of Captus. Their vital crystals were nowhere to be found.
It was fair to say that this battle had cost the aliens a quarter of their strength. The fact that they'd been able to accomplish this despite being outnumbered was something to be proud of.
Now that the enemy had retreated, the allied forces were busy repairing the damage.
No one knew how long it would take for the home worlds to complete their evolution. Once the humans recovered they'd have to launch an all-out attack.
But even if the home worlds couldn't attack, the aliens still outnumbered them.
The return of the Violet Prince and Princess gave them two more Infinite-level experts. Humanity was clearly at a disadvantage, even after Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin had ascended to Nirvana.
They had to plan things out in the long run. Only a more perfect plan would give them a chance at victory.
Europa and the alien home worlds were within reach after this battle. The odds were stacked against them, but it was the closest they'd ever come to victory.
Kang Hui had already requested reinforcements from the Northern Alliance. It was a little late, but if the war dragged on and the aliens had more time to evolve, reinforcements would make sense.
The Northern Alliance had promised to send reinforcements, but no one knew how long it would take.
Star Division.
Star Division's thousand soldiers stood in neat formation. They took off their hats and bowed their heads in silent tribute to their fallen comrades.
There were no corpses to be found in a space battle.
In the end there were casualties.
Star Division had suffered the fewest casualties compared to the other armies, but it was still a pain in the hearts of the soldiers.
"We mourn." Su Xiaosu's voice was low.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads again.
Su Xiaosu's voice was low. "Every soldier who died in battle has a detailed record of their achievements. Their families will inherit their rewards.
Star Division has enough vital crystals to give their families priority to the exuvium process.
You will too. "
"But the war must go on. We are fighting for humanity.
If we lose, then our achievements will be meaningless. The exuvium process will be meaningless.
Humanity will no longer exist.
That's why, soldiers, comrades.
We can't grieve now, we need to focus on the battlefield. "
"I'm sure you've all learned a lot from these two battles.
Now you're dismissed. Rest. Twelve hours from now, we'll regroup and begin training! "
"Yes, sir!"
Star Division was dismissed.
Everyone returned to their quarters.
On the battlefield, resting was definitely the most luxurious thing.
Star Division had fought two battles in a row, and they were exhausted. The loss of one of their own was a heavy blow to their morale.
Su Xiaosu watched her soldiers leave. She plopped to the ground and began to pant.
How could she not be tired?
She'd been in charge of Star Division during this battle. She'd had to take care of everyone.
If it hadn't been for her deployment, the losses would have been even greater.
Star Division had played an important role in the battle. If it weren't for them, the Allied forces would've suffered ten percent more casualties.
Star Division had found their place in the allied army.
The first battle was over, but there would be more to come.
Could the alien home worlds be defeated?
Xiaosu was so tired she wanted to go to sleep. Just then, a warm energy spread through her body, lifting her spirits.
She lifted her head to see the doctor from Skyfire Avenue at her side.
"How are you?
Are you alright? "The doctor asked.
