Chapter 2989: Current Situation of the Ten Thousand Races in the Starry Sky!
Jiang Fan would always find new ways to deal with it. Nothing could stop him from moving toward his goal!
If there was... he would just eliminate it!
Fortunately, this gave the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance a chance to catch their breath!
Although they were retreating step by step, they had still managed to survive half a year!
And during this period, the Carbon Alliance wasn't without achievements!
Four more native Star Devourers emerged among humans!
Little Brother Odin, Baldr, Mi Ye, and Bai Kou!
Because of the Source of All Evil, Mi Ye had completed the accumulation of energy and broke through to Star Devourer!
Bai Kou's Snow Eye was inherited from a great figure of the Eternal Era, which also greatly helped her breakthrough!
As for Little Brother and Baldr, needless to say, they were originally in the first tier of human experts, so their breakthroughs were only natural!
One was a light-type, the other a space-type—after becoming Star Devourers, their combat power was top-notch!
Although they couldn't yet match a Pseudo-Cosmos in direct confrontation, their strength was among the best among Star Devourers!
In the Starry Chaos Army, Taluo also became a Star Devourer. Maybe because he didn't have much of a brain, he cultivated quickly?
At the very least, he brought honor to the Desolate God Clan!
As for Shanmao, Wang Gang, Zhong Yingxue, and the others, they were in the second tier, still some distance from Star Devourer!
But that distance wasn't too far. With war as a catalyst, humanity's top talents, and the top resources of the starry sky, breaking through to Star Devourer before Jiangnan returned wasn't a big problem!
It wasn't just good news from the human side!
Among the major races of the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance, occasionally some strong ones achieved Star Devourer, but the numbers weren't large—you could count them on one hand!
But compared to the scarcity of Star Devourer experts, this concentrated burst during this period was also precious!
Perhaps the will of the starry sky had a hand in it!
What was even more gratifying was that after such a long time, the Giant God Soldiers and Ultimate Star Weapons, which had been developed with massive resources, were finally built!
And they had already been put to use on the battlefield. Li Bing even used Yakeli's Colorless Crystal Flesh to specialize the Giant God Soldiers, enhancing their combat power!
This made the Giant God Soldiers something between machines and flesh, but strictly speaking, they were still mechanical lifeforms controlled by Ai Jiang!
However, even though the Ultimate Star Weapons and Giant God Soldiers were built...
Under the current starry sky situation, they simply couldn't play a decisive role!
The Silicon could use them without regard for consequences or sustainable development, churning them out as they pleased!
But the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance couldn't—they still had to survive, right?
And in Jiang Fan's eyes, the Giant God Soldiers were just big toys, and the Ultimate Star Weapons were just loud firecrackers. Trying to stop Jiang Fan with these things was nothing short of a pipe dream!
Still, they were somewhat useful, helping to solve the problem of insufficient manpower to a certain extent!
After all, the cost of building one Giant God Soldier was far less than cultivating one Star Devourer!
They could be used to defend strongholds and fortifications!
It was worth mentioning that although the Giant God Soldiers and Ultimate Star Weapons didn't play a major role, many completed system items had been developed during this period and were being mass-deployed on the battlefield!
This was an immense help to the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance armies!
Li Bing was in a hurry, so the development progress was fast. Before Jiangnan returned, she would be able to complete the research and development of most system items!
As for the overall development and construction of the system terminal, the process was also unusually smooth, with one-third already completed!
The conditions of Mila and Lan were temporarily stable. According to the current progress...
In another two years, both of them would be able to become Star Devourers. Lan's progress was even slightly faster than Mila's!
The collision between the Carbon Alliance, Mater Alliance, and the Finality Legion was the center of the starry sky's turbulence!
But the starry sky wasn't just about the center of the turbulence!
In corners unseen by anyone, the Firefly Alliance, led by Zhu Guang, had developed rapidly!
They didn't have the capital to face the Finality Alliance directly, but they could use the opportunity of war to develop their own races and sustain themselves!
They used their races' special abilities to develop racial specialties and supply the front lines!
They played more of a logistical role!
With the rules Jiangnan had set, no one would touch the Firefly Alliance!
But not all of these former slave races had survived; some had been eliminated during their development!
Survival of the fittest—it couldn't be helped!
This was how things appeared, but in reality, the situation for the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance was not optimistic!
This was just the war with the Finality Legion!
The Bose race hadn't moved yet!
As for the Eternal Kingdom, the Eternal World was completely covered in mist, making it impossible to see the progress of Xun Zu's refinement of the Divine Burial Chains!
Not all races were with the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance. The Ten Thousand Races totaled over ten thousand species!
The Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance together accounted for six or seven thousand, and the rest were all under Xun Zu's banner!
Although they would lose their sovereignty, under the current situation, siding with Xun Zu was the safest way to survive this chaotic era!
The Eternal Kingdom's strategy was to hold steady and stay put!
They didn't care about the Matter Alliance, Carbon Alliance, or the Finality Legion collecting matter!
Because once Xun Zu completely refined the Divine Burial Chains, all problems would cease to be problems!
Fighting with them now was a complete waste of time!
Although the specific progress of Xun Zu was unknown, bad news had come from Black God!
The Eternal World had already begun to devour the Xing Kong World to strengthen itself!
Because Black God was one with the Xing Kong World—prosper together, suffer together!
Black God could feel his power weakening bit by bit!
This meant that Xun Zu's progress was very fast. While refining the Divine Burial Chains, he could already spare some power to devour the world!
So that's why the will of the starry sky was so anxious, right?
By the time Xun Zu completely took care of the Divine Burial Chains and claimed them as his own, plus the Xing Kong World he had devoured during this time...
Who knew how strong that guy would become?
At that point, the grim reality might just come true!
But the focus of the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance was still on the production of the system. Neither Jiang Fan nor Xun Zu was something they could handle!
They could only place their hopes on Jiangnan, who was away on business!
Otherwise, the reality would inevitably head toward a pitch-black abyss!
...
Dimensions Star City Conference Room!
The high-level members of both the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance were discussing subsequent strategies here!
Not all the strong ones had come; many were absent because they were fighting on the battlefield!
On the conference table, a panoramic map of the starry sky was laid out, marking the exact locations of the Finality Defense Line!
If one looked closely, they could see that the Finality Defense Line was expanding from the Finality Star Domain as its center!
By now, it had already expanded into a considerable territory!
Wherever the Finality Defense Line passed, the starry sky turned completely black!
This was now called the Black Domain!
Not only had the inside of the Finality Defense Line turned black, but the Finality Legion was now playing a multi-point bloom tactic!
Even outside the Finality Defense Line, there were many locations of the Black Domain!
The current starry sky was like a piece of cheese that had been nibbled full of holes—a shocking sight!
Youming looked utterly disgusted: [Angry face with gritted teeth] "Damn it! The Finality Legion is too fast. The starry sky is so vast—they can devour wherever they want. With our manpower, we simply can't defend against it!"
"This war is infuriating!"
Noah scratched his head, also looking annoyed: [Squinting eyes with annoyance] "Stop complaining. In half a year, with Jiangnan absent, we've managed to maintain the situation like this—it's already good!"
"But... we can't go on like this, right?"
Chong Feiyu gritted her teeth: [Wide eyes with gritted teeth] "How are they so efficient? Logically, half a year shouldn't be enough, right?"
"Just relying on the Mechanical Legion..."
Yang Jian shook his head: "It's not just the Mechanical Legion—that's only part of it. The Finality Legion also has many prisoners captured as laborers!"
"They're all working for the Finality Legion! All these prisoners have been branded with Star Marks! And Star Marks can't be removed! If they're pulled into dimensional rifts, they die instantly!"
"Even the Ming He force field can't suppress the Star Marks. The source of the Star Marks is Jiang Fan! To stay alive, these prisoner laborers have to move stars!"
"And many of these captured prisoners are warriors from our Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance. Some races that were captured as a whole and branded are our own people!"
"We can't kill them, can't rescue them—we can only watch them work. And this force is not insignificant. The reason the Finality Legion is so efficient has a lot to do with the Star Mark laborers!"
Yakeli's eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage: "Damn it! Damn it all! We finally managed to wipe out the slave system, things were just starting to look up, and then Jiang Fan comes with his Star Marks!"
"What's the difference between this and the previous slave system? Jiang Fan is destroying the future we fought so hard to build!"
"I... I really—!"
Yakeli's fists were almost crushed.
Yang Jian rubbed his forehead: "Don't be impulsive. No one can stop Jiang Fan. Impulsiveness will only get you killed! This guy doesn't care about anything anymore!"
Wanxiang's heart was bleeding: "Look! Look at what the starry sky has become because of him! Every single star is a miracle under the starry sky. How many years did it take to form them?"
"Destroyed! All destroyed by him! At this rate, we simply can't stop Jiang Fan's Finality Plan!"
Yang Jian took a deep breath: "Indeed, we can't stop it, but we absolutely cannot give up the starry sky!"
"The Dimensional Gap is indeed our retreat, but it's also a dead end. With the resources of the Dimensional Gap, we can't sustain so many races, let alone develop and survive!"
"We have to be squatters in the three-dimensional starry sky, hold onto our home. If we retreat, we'll never come back..."
Xiao Chuihuo narrowed his eyes: "Our mission isn't to stop Jiang Fan's Finality Plan, but to slow down his progress!"
"Use every possible method to stall—don't let Jiang Fan collect all the matter before little Nan returns. Once the Final Black Hole spews, it's all over!"
"When little Nan comes back, he'll only see a ruined, empty world!"
"So we have to stall! Stall with everything we've got! Keep the situation from collapsing. We can give ground, but we can't retreat into the Dimensional Gap! Once we retreat, Jiang Fan will have no obstacles left, and the Finality Plan will inevitably be realized before little Nan returns!"
"As for stopping him? No chance! I've fought him more than once. He's still getting stronger, every single day. For the first time, I feel this sense of frustration at being overwhelmed in talent!"
"Right now, I can still threaten the Finality City, use the method of destroying the Accretion Disk to make Jiang Fan cautious, but I don't know how long this will last!"
"It's just... I don't have enough time to cultivate. The Realm Source Energy has also been cut off. If only..."
There was unwillingness in Xiao Chuihuo's eyes as he silently clenched his fist!
