Even though he had many advantages now, the battle-hardened World Tree was not easy to deal with. He had his own methods, and the other party had all kinds of countermeasures.
“Although the Spacetime Amber has already proven its characteristics, we still have to prevent the World Tree from cracking its principles. What is impossible for us might not be the case for the World Tree.”
Manison nodded. He was not confident that the World Tree would be unable to crack the Spacetime Amber.
Han Xiao did not say anything and glanced at Hila, gesturing with his eyes.
Seeing this, Hila nodded slightly.
This was a secret signal between the two of them. Seeing Hila’s reaction, Han Xiao knew that Hila had been using the Underworld to collect the souls of the deceased. She should have gained a lot, but it was not the time to check.
“World Tree…”
Han Xiao turned around and looked at the battle again, his eyes shining with an unknown light.
“Our high-level combatants have achieved a complete victory. Only six of them died, and Black Star even used the Spacetime Amber to capture four enemies…”
In the conference room of the three Universal Civilizations, the three leaders were currently receiving reports from the frontlines and discussing in low voices.
“Black Star is as strong as ever. Luckily, we have the association’s help. Otherwise, our direct lineage would not have been able to deal with so many enemies.” Louis shook his head.
“Only six people died in battle. Their results are better than I expected.” Marbruce exhaled.
“After destroying this wave of attacks from the World Tree, their next wave shouldn’t be so quick. They’ve bought us more time.” The Pope also nodded.
Although the three of them hoped to damage the Beyond Grade As of the association, they were still united against a common enemy. Seeing that their losses were low, they were also happy.
“However… Hila’s Underworld is collecting the souls of our soldiers. This is a problem,” Louis said in a deep voice.
Marbruce lowered his voice. “Now is not the time to be calculative.”
The existence of the Underworld was no longer a secret, and the three Universal Civilizations had known about it before the war. They knew that Hila might absorb the soldiers and talents that they had lost in the war, but in the current situation, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
This was akin to poaching. However, for a large number of soldiers that would have actually died in battle, entering the Underworld gave them a second lease of life. This was equivalent to reducing the losses of their war capital. Since this was a special situation, the three Universal Civilizations could only acquiesce.
The three of them were also worried that Hila would use the Underworld to take away the Beyond Grade As who had died in battle, but currently, not many Beyond Grade As were willing to become heroes who could not be free, with most of them choosing to believe in the Sanctum Revival.
No matter what, this was a hidden danger, but it was not the time to be calculative. The main problem was dealing with the World Tree Civilization, and the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations could do nothing about the Underworld.
The battle between the two fleets lasted a week, and the battlefront had already been stretched to the extreme.
The reinforcements from the three Universal Civilizations came in an endless stream, and the rest of the Beyond Grade As would attack together from time to time, gradually turning the tide of the battle in the three Universal Civilizations’ favor.
The expedition army of the World Tree had been devoured by batches, and they had changed their tactics when the situation was not looking good. They no longer attacked head-on and split up in an attempt to create loopholes in the interception network with their large numbers.
At this stage of the war, this wave of attacks had already been declared a failure. To the three Universal Civilizations, the only thing left was to clean up the mess.
Although they had defeated the enemy with a small loss and won the battle, the upper echelons were not happy. The revival ability of the World Tree shrouded their hearts like dark clouds.
However, no matter how heavy their hearts were, the officers still had to focus on commanding the troops to clean up the mess.
Seeing that the battle had come to an end, the three Universal Civilizations finally sent the frontline battle report back to the galactic society, promoting this victory and boosting the hearts of the people.
Chapter 1342 - If You Have Milk, You’re a Mother
It was no secret that the three Universal Civilizations were resisting the first wave of an invasion. The Galactic Society had known about it the moment the three Universal Civilizations mobilized the various armies and the armed forces of the various civilizations. Because this battle was not broadcast live, no intelligence was sent back. After many days of fermenting, the countless galactic residents that were headed to the central region of the explored universe were on tenterhooks, afraid that they would see news of the three Universal Civilizations being defeated the next day.
While the entire galactic society was in a state of panic, the three Universal Civilizations’ Foreign Affairs Departments, which had been silent for many days, finally reported the results of the battle to the galactic society and announced this great victory. The three Universal Civilizations claimed that the attacks of the foreign enemies had been repelled, and they put up a more detailed battle report, announcing the damage ratio of many troops. Among which, the most eye-catching was the battle results of the high-level combatants. With just six people as the price, they had killed more than a hundred Beyond Grade As of the enemy.
This result made countless people’s eyes light up, and they were secretly shocked. Although the three Universal Civilizations had won the battle, they had also lost a fleet of ten billion. Even so, it was still a commendable victory, and the losses were far lower than the enemy’s. However, the battle statistics of Beyond Grade As were many times more outstanding, and they were the troops with the lowest casualty rate. After successfully annihilating the expeditionary army, this great victory boosted the hearts of the people. Most of the frightened galactic residents heaved a sigh of relief, and the panic and fear in their hearts gradually faded. They were filled with excitement and joy.
The public opinion that was originally filled with all kinds of worries and panic changed, becoming a trend of praising the three Universal Civilizations. It was as if loyal supporters had sprouted everywhere overnight. The shocking achievements of the Beyond Grade As were naturally popular topics discussed by the ordinary people, and they were almost unanimously praised. Many galactic residents praised them for their reliable individual strength, as though they had forgotten the hate speeches they used to attack the association. The association seemed to have gone from ‘opposing class who abused their special rights as they wished’ to become ‘trustworthy guardians of the galactic society’, and their image had a 180-degree change. During internal conflicts, many galactic residents did not like the Beyond Grade As and did not stop complaining.
However, when faced with a complete victory over the enemy, the galactic residents were proud of their superior combatants. Their long-standing hatred and resentment seemed to have been selectively forgotten, and their attitude changed very smoothly. Of course, there were also those who were deeply rooted in resentment. However, they all cowered at the moment and did not dare to express their usual opinions. They shrunk their necks and silently accepted the protection. Right now, the enemy had yet to retreat, so they did not dare put down their chopsticks and curse. However, for the majority of the galactic residents, when danger came, they would cheer for whoever protected them from invasion. Their unanimous feelings toward the outside temporarily suppressed the class conflict within.
“A great victory, is it…” Dillon did not think so.
The huge virtual screen was showing the news reports of the
three Universal Civilizations, and the room was filled with Revivors who had joined the association.
Due to the previous disagreements, many revivors did not respond to the call and did not participate in this battle. They stayed in the explored universe and did not know how intense the battle at the frontline was. They could only watch the battle reports through the news.
“Six people sacrificed in exchange for more than a hundred casualties. This shouldn’t have happened. It seems like Aurora’s ability has already reduced the casualties to a very low level.” Beiger nodded. “No matter how low their losses are, the six people who died in battle are still dead. There are also members of the association among them. They only lost their lives because they believed Black Star’s nonsense. Serves them right!” Dillon curled his lips.
Everyone shook their heads, speechless. How could such a fierce war not kill people? The sacrifice of those Beyond Grade As was unavoidable, but from an emotional perspective, everyone still felt that it was a pity. “Don’t say that. After all, they sacrificed themselves to fight against the enemy. Furthermore, with Black Star’s sanctum reviving, they can still be resurrected.” Beiger sighed.
“Humph, so what if they can be revived through the Sanctums? It’s just one chance, and they wasted it. When they come back to life, they will have the same thoughts as us sooner or later,” Dillon said with disdain.
Beiger had no way to refute that. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Don’t we still have the Underworld to protect us?” “Tsk, do you really like losing your freedom? I even suspect that Black Star is urging us to join the battle. His other goal is to let us die in battle and enter the Underworld, indirectly strengthening his forces. Humph, a bad guy!” Dillon snorted.
“Black Star shouldn’t be such a person.” Beiger shook his head.
“Are you very close to him? Can you guarantee what he’s thinking?” Dillon demanded impatiently. “Whose side are you on? If you like speaking up for Black Star so much, why don’t you just roll behind him? Why are you obediently accepting whatever sh*t he does?”
“What are you saying? Furthermore, Black Star doesn’t need to sh*t…”
Beiger’s mouth twitched, but he was not angry. He was already used to Dillon’s foul mouth.
Dillon retracted his gaze and snorted. “This is only the first wave of attacks. The enemy will invade again, and more Beyond Grade As will die in battle. If we join the battle, we will end up like this sooner or later. It’s not easy to obtain a new life, so I’m not willing to work for the three Universal Civilizations.”
“Are you planning to watch the enemy invade?” Beiger frowned.
“Humph, I’m not going to get involved in this. If the three Universal Civilizations can win, I’ll stay. If they can’t, where can’t I go in the universe? My Elven Holy Land is gone, and my consorts have been divided. What’s there for me to miss?” Dillon scratched his nose.
“Okay, okay, you’re good.” Beiger was speechless. He shook his head and walked out of the room. He hesitated for a moment before taking out his communicator and dialing Oathkeeper’s number.
A few seconds later, the call connected, and Oathkeeper’s face appeared on the screen.
“What is it?”
Beiger hesitated for a moment before saying, “Regarding Black Star’s appeal, I would like to ask for your opinion.” He was actually a little confused as well. After all, Dillon was not completely unreasonable. For the Revivors, it was not a bad choice to be alone. However, Beiger still could not make up his mind, so he wanted to ask Oathkeeper for his opinion. Oathkeeper’s persistence over the years had earned him the respect of all the Revivors. After all, he was once a comrade and an old friend of many years. He had a great position in their hearts and was more trustworthy than Black Star.
Oathkeeper also knew that the revivors did not respond to Han Xiao’s call, so he immediately understood what Beiger was asking. He pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.
“I suggest you join the battle and give it your all.”
Seeing that Beiger did not say anything, Oathkeeper continued. “I know you’re worried about the risks, but Black Star has his own plans, and he does not treat you as sacrifices. The Underworld is not all of his trump cards, and he has prepared other paths of retreat for you. Furthermore, you guys have made a mistake. The compromise with the three Universal Civilizations does not mean that the battle between the Beyond Grade As has ended. Black Star is still working hard for this goal, and external enemies are an opportunity.”
“I don’t really understand.” Beiger frowned.
“It’s not convenient for me to explain this matter too clearly. If you’re willing to believe me, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t be afraid of death. Black Star will always have a way to make you open your eyes again.” Oathkeeper shook his head. Without Black Star’s approval, it was not convenient for him to reveal the truth of the unlimited Sanctum Revivals. Furthermore, it would be suspicious if he told the truth. read latest chapters at wu xiaworld .site only
Oathkeeper had heard about the plan from Han Xiao and knew that Black Star needed a Revivor who dared to die in battle as an example. If all the Revivors did not participate in the battle, Black Star would lack the ‘material’ to show the truth of the Sanctum Revival.
However, it was not suitable to directly tell the Revivors to die. After all, even if there was a Sanctum Revival, their strength would decrease after reviving. Not many people were willing to do so, and people’s hearts were always fickle, so they could only urge them to join the battle. After all, as long as they went to the frontlines, Oathkeeper believed that Black Star would definitely be able to find a way to get the Revivors killed. “… Let me think about it.”
Beiger hung up the communication and pondered over Oathkeeper’s hint. After pondering for a while, he made up his mind.
Oathkeeper’s suggestion definitely had a reason. It was better to go to the frontline to take a look. Even if they were to participate in the battle, there was still Aurora on the battlefield, so the danger should not be that high.
In the large conference room that blocked the main base, many Beyond Grade As who were participating in the battle gathered. At the conference table were Simon and the other commanders, as well as the remote projections of the three Universal Civilizations’ leaders. After many days of fighting, this World Tree expedition team had been defeated, and the three Universal Civilizations were only left with the job of cleaning up the mess. The three leaders had arrived to reward these Beyond Grade As. The direct Beyond Grade As had their own internal rewards, but the rewards for the association members were different. They were basically directly given material rewards. This was an agreement that Han Xiao had made with the three Universal Civilizations long ago, since the association would not provide high-level combatants for free. “…Your contributions have been recorded. According to the agreement that His Excellency Black Star has made with us, we will compensate you accordingly. This is the list of resources we have reserved…”
Marbruce called out the virtual screen and opened a list interface. Various exchangeable items were displayed on it for everyone present.
Han Xiao took a look and nodded slightly. Many of the items there were strategic resources that were not open to the public under normal circumstances. This time, all of them were opened for exchange without hiding anything. This method was basically the same as the players exchanging faction contribution points for equipment, but the difference was that many Beyond Grade As did not have an interface to display their contribution points.
At this moment, Louis pondered for a moment and said, “In order to express our sincerity, you can choose the different Universal Treasures in our inventory as remuneration based on your merits. It will be the same in the future.”
Hearing this, the eyes of many Beyond Grade As lit up with joy.
Many people did not even have a single Universal Treasure, but now that they had a channel to acqu
ire them, they were pleasantly surprised. Even those who had Universal Treasures did not mind having more of such equipment. “Yo, you’ve invested a lot.”
Han Xiao raised his brows.
Every Beyond Grade A participating in the battle would have at least one, and it was not a small number. Furthermore, they would be able to obtain the qualifications every time they fought in the future. Even if the three Universal Civilizations had a lot of Universal Treasures in their inventory, they would not be able to afford such a production. After all, Beyond Grade As could choose for themselves, and they would definitely start choosing from the best.
However, on second thought, Han Xiao understood the three Universal Civilizations’ plan. In any case, they had to distribute Universal Treasures to the participants every time they fought, so they might as well give out their ownership rights to all of them. At the same time, they could also motivate the Beyond Grade As to fight. After all, if the Beyond Grade As were gone, there would be no point in keeping some Universal Treasures for their own use. The other three Universal Civilizations might have another idea, which was to use the reward to attract the Revivors of the association to join the battle. Han Xiao knew what kind of sh*t they were brewing the moment they stuck their butts out.
However, there was no need to stop them. Han Xiao was also glad that the three Universal Civilizations were willing to bleed themselves. He could not possibly ask the other Beyond Grade As who had contributed to the war to reject this reward.
Everyone rubbed their palms and picked out the Universal Treasures they liked on the list.
However, there were also a few Beyond Grade As who made different choices. They surrounded Aurora and smiled kindly.
“We owe you a favor this time. Do you have any Universal Treasures you want? I can help you choose.” “Eh?” Aurora was stunned, waving her hands. “There’s no need for that.”
“There’s no need to be modest. You deserve this.”
