Blade Demons ancestral planet, Demon Palace.
Inside the Demon Palace, a group of star state Blade Demons looked at the empty throne. The atmosphere was very silent.
After a long while, a peak star state Blade Demons said, "… What do we do?"
The other Blade Demons heard this and had some fear and despair in their eyes.
None of the Blade Demons spoke. They didn't know what to say at this time.
The peak star state Blade Demons glanced at the other star state Blade Demons and closed his eyes. Then, he said slowly, "My king left a message saying that they went to hunt down the human cosmic system states. Now, the human fleet has arrived at our border. The human cosmic system states are still alive … but my king hasn't returned.
Hearing this, everyone's breathing stagnated.
A few days ago, a star state came to the Blade Demon Palace to look for the Blade Demon King, but he only found the message the Blade Demon King left in the palace. He said he went to hunt the human cosmic system states.
The Blade Demon King and the elders all went.
To the Blade Demon King, the distance between the human race and the blade demon race wasn't far. They had the advantage in numbers and were very strong. It would take them at most a few days to deal with it. It wouldn't take long to go back and forth, so he just left a message.
They didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to come back.
In fact, even the star states didn't expect the Blade Demon King and the others wouldn't be able to come back.
They were even a little excited.
'What a joke. My king took so many cosmic system states to hunt down the human cosmic system states. How could they fail with such a huge difference in power?'
Even if they closed their eyes, they could still win for sure!
By then, the resources and territories of the Human Race would be theirs!
'My king is amazing!'
Originally, their hearts were filled with joy as they waited for their Wang Kaixuan to return. Then, they began to cheer.
Yet, today, they didn't see the return of the Blade Demon King. Instead, they saw the Human Race's fleet.
Who could handle this?
Now, the Human Race's fleet had entered the border, and there were cosmic system states. According to the news from the border, the old cosmic system states of the Human Race didn't die at all!
However, there was no news of their king.
They had already guessed the result.
Everyone felt cold in their hearts. The Blade Demon Palace was like an ice cave. They couldn't feel any warmth at all.
The atmosphere fell silent again. Some Blade Demons didn't give up. "Perhaps … my king and the others were just held back? Perhaps … perhaps they didn't even go … "
"Don't act dumb!" The peak star state Blade Demons roared. His sharp eyes were fixed on the Blade Demons. "This is the moment of our Blade Demons's survival. How dare you have such illusions?"
"…"
The Blade Demons lowered their heads. Their bodies were trembling, but they didn't say anything.
The peak star state Blade Demons took a deep breath and said, "My race's territory probably can't be saved …"
Then, he said, "Now, we have two paths to take. You know that, right? How do we choose? "
Hearing this, the crowd fell silent again. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
They didn't expect the Blade Demons to be on the verge of extinction.
One was to stay here and seek the help of the Advanced Demon Race's enforcers. Then, they could keep the ancestral planet and a portion of the newborn Blade Demons.
The tinder of their race could be preserved. Everything could start from scratch. Perhaps after a few hundred thousand years, the Blade Demons could set foot in the universe again.
If they were lucky, they might be valued by the enforcers of the Advanced Demon Race and take a portion of the prodigies of the Blade Demons away from the ancestral planet.
Of course, such luck wasn't very realistic.
The Advanced Demon Race was prideful. How could they be interested in the Blade Demons?
They didn't even have the right to be a servant race.
This kind of thought was only a dream.
This was one of the choices.
And this was only a choice for the races that were under the protection of the Advanced Demon Race. Most races only had one choice.
That was to give up the solar system where their race was born and take a small portion of their elites to become a nomadic race.
However, how many dangers were there in the universe?
There were terrifying galactic beasts, cruel space pirates, and all sorts of dangerous places in the universe.
For a nomadic race with a cosmic system state, they might encounter a terrifying disaster and die on the spot.
Plus, the Blade Demons didn't even have a cosmic system state.
Even if they were unlucky and encountered a battle between two cosmic system states, they might explode on the spot.
By then, their race would be truly annihilated. They wouldn't even have the chance to start over!
But if they found a solar system that was easy to live in and settled down, their development speed would far surpass the first choice.
That way, with enough time, they might be able to produce another cosmic system state. After a few hundred thousand years, they might have the power to counterattack and even annihilate the Human Race.
These two paths each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
The first path would allow their race to continue, but if they wanted to step into the universe again, it would take a long time.
Plus, the Human Race clearly wouldn't tolerate star states like them. They would kill them all.
The second path was extremely risky, especially for the Blade Demon Race who didn't have any cosmic system states. It was almost certain death.
If they failed, the Blade Demons would completely disappear from the universe.
But if they could really stabilize, then the benefits would be huge too!
Even if they just found a barren solar system, as long as they slowly developed, there would be opportunities in the future.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
The Blade Demon Palace became very quiet.
Everyone looked at the empty throne, their eyes filled with fear and nostalgia.
How great would it be if their king was still here?
Without the protection of a powerful being, a race was too weak in the universe.
At this moment, the peak cosmic system state Blade Demons said, "We don't have much time! Make your choice! Which path should we take? "
Someone said slowly, "Let's stay. Use our lives to exchange for the fire seed of the Blade Demons."
Another person agreed. "I agree. The universe is too dangerous. Our power … is too weak."
"I agree too. As long as the fire seed is still here, our race will be able to enter the universe again in the future. It just might take a longer time."
At this moment, a Blade Demon said, "We don't agree! It wasn't easy for us Blade Demons to step out of ignorance and establish such a glorious civilization. How can we give up on all of this so easily?! "
"I also feel that even with the fire seed, we Blade Demons might not be able to establish a civilization that can step into the universe again. By then, we might still turn into dust in the universe. Why don't we take a gamble?"
"So what if the universe is dangerous?! So what if we become nomads?! We Blade Demons can go through all difficulties and establish such a glorious civilization. We might be able to find other solar systems and rise again! "
At this moment, a Blade Demon's mouth spasmed. "… I don't want to die. Do you want to die?"
Hearing this, everyone's breathing stagnated, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
If possible, who would want to die?
Of course, they didn't want to die.
"…"
Moments later, the peak cosmic system state Blade Demons closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths and suddenly opened his eyes again.
This time, his eyes flashed with determination. "Call back all the star states and planetary states that can return. Take the prodigies of the race … We're leaving!"
Hearing this, some Blade Demons wanted to object, but after seeing everyone's gaze, they shut their mouths.
Living beings were always like this. As long as there was a sliver of hope, as long as there was a sliver of hope, they would struggle to get close to that sliver of hope.
…
Four days later.
In the suite of the main ship of the human fleet.
Lu Ze and the girls suddenly opened their eyes. Intense pain flashed across their eyes.
They fell on the bed and leaned against each other, shivering.
Alice pouted. "Ying Ying … it hurts …"
Nangong Jing frowned. "I didn't expect to be ambushed!"
"There are still a lot of orbs we haven't picked up yet." Lu Li was also unwilling to give up.
Lin Ling said, "I saw an equipment crystal … I didn't have time to pick it up."
Everyone: "…"
Everyone seemed to have heard the sound of their hearts breaking.
This was too hard!
Their eyes were red. They wanted to cry.
Lu Ze comforted them. "Um, at least we got a lot today. There are two equipment crystals. There will be chances next time."
Hearing Lu Ze's words, they sighed and didn't think about it anymore.
This was something that couldn't be helped. It was useless to think about it.
Moments later, the pain disappeared, and they sat up. Nangong Jing and the girls looked at Lu Ze expectantly.
Nangong Jing said, "Azay, take a look. What is the equipment crystal this time?"
Seeing everyone's expectant look, Lu Ze was also looking forward to it.
With the increase in Lu Ze's combat power and Lin Ling's Spirit Eye, their jungling efficiency had more than doubled.
In the first three days, they got three equipment crystals. Two of them were boots, and one was a wrist guard.
Lu Ze already had these, so he naturally gave them to Nangong Jing and the others. The two boots were given to Kaza Akizuki, one to Lin Ling, and the wrist guard to Nangong Jing.
Now, only Lu Li and Alice didn't have any equipment.
They were very envious. They were still thinking about when they would get their equipment.
As for Lu Ze, he naturally wanted to collect all the equipment he had on him.
Then, he would be invincible again.
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
He couldn't wait to take out the two equipment crystals. Then, his mental power surged into the equipment crystals. Instantly, there was a flash of light.
