Jue Di smirked. "Of all the parents in the world, who wouldn't be biased?
You've done very well.
After all, you met Ah Jue first. You've been with him for a long time.
But don't worry, Ah Qing won't mind.
"Let's go, we also need to start preparing. Old bones like us might not be able to survive this battle.
If we do, I'll take you with me to build a new world for humanity. I'm sure it'll be fun.
It's been decades since I've felt this eager to fight.
I'm ready. "
Jueti's eyes shone with vigor. Deep in them a golden light flickered.
The space distorted violently. The next moment, a pink crack slowly opened, and two figures gradually became clear in the distorted light and shadow.
They were surrounded by endless space.
Far off in the distance, stars lit up the sky. It didn't look so dark.
Lan Jue and the Pharmacist stood shoulder to shoulder. She steadied her protogenia and recovered from the discomfort of the teleportation.
The Pharmacist stared intently at Lan Jue. "I should be the one to do this. Why did you have to come?"
Lan Jue smiled. "We're brother and sister, do we need to separate ourselves?
Sister, do you even think of me as one of your own? "
The Pharmacist laughed. "It's rare for you to be so relaxed. I have to say, you've affected my mood. I feel a little more relaxed now.
I've been waiting for this day, for this opportunity, for a long time now.
But now that it's starting, I'm nervous.
I don't care about myself, but I don't want you to get hurt.
Ever since you became Jun 'er's godfather, you've helped me so much.
I haven't even had the chance to repay you, and now you're risking your life with me. "
Lan Jue spoke up. "Don't be so formal. If you want to repay me, you'll have plenty of chances to do so when we get back alive.
In the future, you'll be the godmother of my and Qian Lin's children.
Help us look after them, I'm sure you'll have plenty of experience. "
The Pharmacist grinned. "Very good!
I used to live in pain. Jun'er grew up with me, and I owe her too much.
No matter what the result is, as long as we can return alive, I will face everything optimistically and face life positively. "
Lan Jue was overjoyed. It was only now that he knew the Pharmacist had come around.
It was not easy at all.
The two of them looked into the distance, and their expressions gradually became solemn.
From the back, Europa looked even more ferocious. The entire planet was covered in thick blood vessels, wriggling like a womb. It didn't look like a planet, but a giant life form that could break out of its cocoon at any time.
Lan Jue took a deep breath, and her eyes became focused and calm.
"Let's go!" The two of them moved at the same time, flying towards Europa.
Their mission this time was not as simple as scouting.
Even Roxanne didn't know what their real mission was.
The alien planets were tightly packed around Europa. The planets glowed with a purple light, like a malformed tumor growing on Europa's surface. If one looked closely they could see that the alien planets were constantly changing shape.
To Lan Jue, the alien home worlds were like three giant jellies. As Europa wriggled, they changed shape, as though they were trying to melt into the planet's interior.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat.
If the planets wanted to create their own immortal realm, they would need a powerful energy core. Jueti had said this before, so it had to be true.
Were they going to turn Europa into their realm of immortals?
It looked as if they were pouring their energy into Europa to transform it.
Was this how they evolved?
Although Lan Jue didn't understand the theory behind it, it was the most logical explanation.
If this was the case, then their evolution would be complete once the alien planets were completely absorbed into Europa.
How long would this process take?
On the surface the alien planets appeared to be the same size as before, but upon closer inspection they were more translucent than before.
In other words, they might still look the same on the outside, but most of the energy inside had been injected into Europa.
It wouldn't be long before their evolution was complete.
As Lan Jue analyzed the situation, she and the Pharmacist drew closer and closer to Europa.
Lan Jue used the communicator in her hand to record everything she saw and send it to Middle Heaven. She also added her own observations to the feed.
If it was a simple reconnaissance mission it wouldn't be too dangerous. Most of the aliens were on the other side of Europa, and with Lan Jue and the Pharmacist's speed they could leave as quickly as they could.
But if he sent a message to Middle Heaven now, the aliens would be able to detect them with their psychic abilities.
As soon as the message was sent, Lan Jue and the Pharmacist turned tail and ran.
They had less than two hours until the invasion began.
The Pharmacist stood atop her Seven Star Sword while Lan Jue transformed into a bolt of lightning. The two of them sped off into the distance.
The alien home worlds didn't seem to be showing any signs of activity, and the two of them picked up speed.
They wouldn't return directly to Middle Heaven, it was too far to do so.
Their mission was complete, now they just had to wait for the invasion.
At that time, they might have a better chance since they were at the back.
As they were flying, a ray of light suddenly appeared not far in front of them without warning.
It was a sphere of violet light, about ten meters across.
The light flickered, and two figures came into view.
Lan Jue and the Pharmacist's eyes narrowed. They were old acquaintances, the Violet Prince and Princess.
Lan Jue had expected the alien home worlds to discover her and the Pharmacist, but she hadn't expected them to be so resolute as to send the Violet Prince and Princess.
In the face of such a powerful foe, escape was an extravagant hope. The Pharmacist glanced at Lan Jue, and the two of them released their dharmic images.
The Banshee Faerie's magic was much clearer than it had been in the past. Her Domain of Slaughter was growing stronger and stronger, and so was her cultivation. Her Reflection of Heaven and Earth had solidified, and the connection between her and Occisus was growing stronger and stronger.
As soon as Occisus appeared, its murderous aura bloomed. The white light was completely different from the white of the Queen of Heaven's Domain. Instead, it was filled with murderous energy.
Lan Jue's Boundless Starlight Domain flared to life. Reflection of Heaven and Earth, Emperor of the North Star!
Captus shimmered with crimson light, and a golden rune appeared behind its tip. This was what happened when Captus was at least ten percent of its power.
Lan Jue's cultivation was no longer the same as before. He had truly reached Nirvana.
Otherwise he wouldn't have dared to carry out this mission.
If they wanted to escape, the only way was to rely on their own strength to find a chance to escape.
The Violet Prince snorted and punched at Lan Jue with his fist.
Beside him, the Violet Princess tilted her head and watched Lan Jue intently. She seemed to be in high spirits.
The Pharmacist was the first to make her move. Her expression was solemn, and her dharmic image slowly lifted Occisus. Her body became solid, and the Banshee and her dharmic image merged into one.
A beam of pale light flashed through the air. It didn't have the destructive aura it had before, it was invisible and formless. However, both the Violet Prince and Princess were shocked when they saw it.
This was because they could clearly sense that the target of this sword was not their bodies, but their souls.
Of the Banshee's Four Swords, Occisus was the most deadly. It could not only destroy the body.
Now that she was a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, the Pharmacist's understanding of Occisus had deepened. She had mastered Occisus' Decapitation of the Three Corpses.
It was a symbol of the Pharmacist's soul.
Of all the Paragons, excluding Jue Di, only Lan Jue's Boundless Starlight Domain could rival the Pharmacist's killing prowess.
There were only two of them, but they were among the strongest of humanity's Paragons.
Affected by the Pharmacist's attack, the Violet Prince's own punch was weakened by the force of the blow.
Lan Jue's Boundless Star Domain suddenly grabbed the purplish-red fist shadow like a giant hand.
Poof! The Boundless Starlight Domain exploded, and Lan Jue was nowhere to be seen. It looked as if the Violet Prince had smashed her to smithereens.
The Violet Prince and Princess were enveloped in a dark violet light. It was almost tangible, and formed behind them the images of their dharmas.
It was a pair of giant crocodile-like dharma images, very much like the largest of the alien behemoths.
The only difference was that they were larger.
The Violet Prince's eyes lit up. He lifted his right hand to the sky and a powerful psychic force burst forth from his head. His eyes glowed a purple-gold hue.
