Lin Guo-guo sighed. "Sister Xiu Xiu has never blamed you. She even told us that love can't be forced, but she will still love you forever.
She said that when both of you were very young, every time she was bullied, you would stand up for her, even if you were beaten until your head bled.
She even remembered clearly that when you were young, she used to dress up as your bride when you were playing games.
She said that at that time, in her heart, she was yours forever. "
"When you were with Hera, she was in great pain. For a long time, she was not in the right mood.
Later, Hera passed away.
We were all by your side. During the time when you were most sad, she took care of you in every possible way.
We originally thought that you would be touched by her, but you fell so deeply into it.
She looked at you in pain, almost every day in tears.
But she never cried in front of you. "
"Later, you finally pulled yourself together. No one was happier than she was.
However, Miss Zhou, who looked exactly like Hera, appeared.
That day, she ran out and got drunk. We stayed with her. That day, in fact, all four of us got drunk.
Boss, Xiu Xiu really loved you. She loved you with her life. "
Listening to Lin Guo-guo's words, Lan Jue's face was covered with tears.
Xiu Xiu didn't even leave her body. She just left …
Thinking of this, Lan Jue lowered her head and looked at the small storage device in her hand. This was left by Xiu Xiu. What did she leave behind?
Standing up, the pain on Lan Jue's face became more intense.
"I want to be alone."
After saying that, he rushed out as if he was running away.
In fact, Zhou Qianlin was watching not far away. But at this time …
She didn't follow him.
He really needed some peace and quiet.
"You must have felt it." Li Ke appeared at Lan Qing's side in a flash of light. Ultus was one with him.
His silhouette looked much more solid, and it even felt a little more corporeal. Although it still wasn't as solid as a real person when touched, it more or less felt like it.
Li Ke could feel that as long as Lan Qing's cultivation increased, he might be able to manifest a physical form. At that time, he would be able to embrace his wife and daughter.
Lan Qing nodded.
"The Four Immortal Slaying Swords require more energy than I imagined.
We need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible.
However, what I'm worried about is whether or not the four of us will be able to set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation if we're all at the Nirvana level. "
Li Ke chuckled bitterly. "To be honest, I don't know either. I can only rely on the records of the Sword Formation. I don't know what will happen when we actually set it up. After all, who knows how many years it's been since the last time it was used."
Lan Qing asked. "Is it possible to increase our cultivation to a higher level?
We've got a lot of high-grade alien vital crystals. That should help, right? "
Li Ke nodded.
"Of course there will be help. With so many high-grade vital crystals, it's not impossible for you to reach the Infinite level of magic power.
But.
We can't do that. Your bodies can't handle it.
You'll have to bear a lot of pressure.
Little Yue told me that Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin made breakthroughs not long ago. They were almost in danger.
If they break through to the Infinite, I don't think there'll be anything left to stop them from exploding.
The absorption and transformation of the Nomological Laws require time. Your rate of improvement is already too fast. If you improve any further, you will be unable to do so.
You won't be able to handle it.
Once you reach the Infinite, you'll have to bear the pressure of universal protogenia.
You won't necessarily be able to reach the Infinite. In fact, it won't be any better than Nirvana.
He might not be able to wield the power of the Boundless Realm. In fact, it might not be any better than Nirvana.
Then we'll try to set up the Banishing Strategy. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else. "
After that, we'll try to set up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way. "
Lan Jue returned to his room and didn't come out for a long time. No one knew what he was up to. He sealed the door and refused to let anyone in.
The three bastions and the rest of humanity's fleet slowly made their way back to Lan Qing. They didn't encounter any more alien threats for the rest of their journey.
The three bastions and the rest of humanity's fleet slowly made their way back to Lan Qing. They didn't encounter any more alien threats for the rest of their journey.
Soon they were in Angel's Domain.
Lan Qing and the Pharmacist went into seclusion. They were going to break through to Nirvana first.
The Paragons had all recovered. Chu Cheng returned to Tyrannosaurus with the Terminator's skeleton and the vital crystal left behind by the Violet Queen's avatar.
In this battle, humans had achieved a temporary victory, but the real problem had yet to be solved.
When they returned to Angel they were greeted with good news. A Bastion had appeared in the skies above the planet.
It was Heron, one of the bastions that had been part of humanity's first direct confrontation with the alien planets.
Because of the threat posed by the alien planets, the North had done everything in their power to repair the fastest Bastion ship they could find.
The North's officials had finally come to their senses. They had sent their fastest Bastion ship, and a great deal of resources to support them.
They could be considered a rather powerful reinforcement force.
Other reinforcements wouldn't arrive anytime soon.
The food crisis on Angel had been solved, so there was nothing to worry about. The people had settled down for the time being.
They were trying to rebuild their homes.
The military's announcement and video of the alien home worlds' defeat were all about victory. This was the only way to reassure the populace.
Especially when Qianlin appeared on the battlefield, valiant and formidable-looking. Her Harmonious Swords with Lan Jue gave the crowd a boost of confidence.
Of course, there were also those who questioned why someone would stand shoulder to shoulder with their goddess!
It didn't take long for Lan Jue's name to be discovered. He was the champion of the Great Conclave's Great Adept Tournament, and was hailed as a hero of humanity. Only then did the people reluctantly accept him.
Now, all eyes were on Angel Planet, waiting for the final result.
Ever since the Alliance's arrival on the frontlines, they'd fought off the alien hordes and rescued many civilians. The East, North, and West's remaining planets had been stabilized for the time being.
However, this kind of stability also brought about some other problems. That was, the doubts of the people.
The people's doubts were simple. How was it that the allied forces were able to win so many battles with such a small force? The eight Bastions led by the Northern Alliance couldn't defeat the enemy?
Moreover, why wasn't there more reinforcements from the rear when the frontlines were in an all-out war?
Could it be that at this time, the politicians were still thinking about their own interests?
The Northern Alliance and Eastern Alliance were under pressure, especially the Northern Alliance.
The Northern Alliance had always called itself humanity's strongest alliance, with the most powerful military. However, the Northern Alliance wasn't the one to lead the war against the aliens. It was the Eastern Alliance and the Hanhai Group.
Poseidon Group's Poseidon Bastion had performed admirably, especially when it transformed into a giant mecha. It left a deep impression on the populace. Poseidon Group's businesses on all of its planets exploded, and their popularity skyrocketed.
The Northern Alliance announced that in addition to Heron, they were sending two more Bastions to the frontlines.
They had no choice but to do so under the pressure of public opinion. Everyone knew that the war on the frontlines was in its final stages. There was no point in sending more reinforcements.
With Heron's arrival the Northern Alliance's military strength grew noticeably.
Because Lan Qing was busy with his cultivation, Admiral Kang Hui was in charge of the allied forces. He immediately proposed another attack on the alien home worlds.
It wasn't that he didn't agree with Lan Qing's proposal, but he was the commander of the Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance was skeptical that the Eastern Alliance's so-called Sword Formation could defeat the alien home worlds.
They were even suspicious that the alien home worlds were going to evolve to immortal realms. Of course, they had to admit that the home worlds were evolving, and that they were even more terrifying than before.
That was why Kang Hui proposed another attack before the home worlds' evolution was complete. The top aliens had suffered heavy losses, and the alien army had suffered heavy casualties.
The addition of Heron had bolstered the allied forces' strength, giving them a chance to launch another attack.
He didn't rule out the possibility of the Banishing Strategy, but he suggested a two-pronged approach. If they could win through the combined assault, the Banishing Strategy could be used as a backup.
If they failed, they would at least weaken the aliens and give the Eastern Alliance an opportunity to use the Strategy.
The Eastern Alliance's temporary replacement for Lan Qing agreed that it was the best course of action. The Hanhai Group didn't object either.
Of course, Neptune and Middle Heaven weren't nearly as strong as they were at the start of the war.
After the decision was made, Kang Hui ordered the entire army to rest in Angel's space for three days. Three days later they would launch another attack on the alien home worlds.
