Chapter 1041: You Won't Burn the Bridge After You've Passed It, Right?
They won!
They really won!
The Strength race and Spirit race experts were cheering, celebrating this hard-won victory!
Especially for the Strength race experts, it was a mix of emotions. They raised their arms and shouted, veins bulging as they vented their pent-up anger!
"To hell with those Sky b*stards!"
If it weren't for them, they wouldn't have had to hand over the Natural Star that they fought so hard to obtain!
If it weren't for them, their leader might have lived a little longer!
If it weren't for them...
Many of the Strength race experts clenched their fists tightly, their eyes moist.
Compared to the Strength race, the Spirit race's joy and excitement were palpable and genuine.
They had experienced so many ups and downs, with their plans failing time and again!
But now, they had finally captured a Primal Chaos Star and re-established themselves in the high-dimensional cosmic!
They had even defeated their mortal enemies, the Sky race!
Only they knew the hardships they had faced.
Wang Ye stood where he was.
He felt a mixture of emotions too.
In the end, he had shouldered everything.
What seemed like a battle among high-dimensional races, unrelated to humans or even the low-dimensional races, had actually seen him play a crucial role.
On this battlefield, besides the Sky race, Dark race, Strength race, and Spirit race, there was also him as a secret player.
A five-way game!
He had been involved in almost every high-dimensional battle!
He was both a player and a piece.
It was exhausting, but also incredibly satisfying!
The Spirit race won.
The Strength race won too!
But the one who won the most was him!
He had changed the situation in the high-dimensional cosmic, breaking the monopoly of the Sky and Dark races!
He had paved a path from darkness for humanity's rise!
Especially with the strong alliances formed with the Strength race and Spirit race, he had a powerful bargaining chip!
This wasn't just about helping humanity rise and resist the Sky and Dark races.
Plans like reclaiming the Primordial Star and refining the Nirvana Star would need the support of these two races.
Even in the upcoming battles among the low-dimensional races, with the backing of these two races, humanity and the Primordial Star would be invincible!
After this battle, a new situation in the high-dimensional cosmic had emerged.
The Natural Star would become a tear in the dominance of the Sky and Dark races, one that would continue to widen and eventually shatter!
The more chaotic things became, the better the opportunities for humanity!
However, Wang Ye was well aware.
High-dimensional races were high-dimensional races, and humans were humans.
Once the Strength race and Spirit race gained the upper hand, potentially ousting the Sky and Dark races, the next to suffer could be humanity and the low-dimensional races.
However, in the short term, this wasn't likely to happen.
Moreover, if the Sky and Dark races fell into a disadvantage, he could always pivot towards the Sky race.
Maintaining balance and practicing moderation, which humanity excelled at.
The key still lay in humanity itself.
They needed to grow stronger!
Even if another strongest expert had to emerge!
"Otherwise, even if I could refine the Nirvana Star, I wouldn't be able to act on it," Wang Ye thought. He took out the new Energy Gathering Spirit Statue. He had gathered a significant amount of chaotic energy in this battle.
Chaotic energy was essential for refining Primal Chaos Stars.
But even more crucial was the need for a cosmic strongest expert!
After merging with the Primal Chaos Star, they would possess an immensely powerful foundation!
Without the strongest expert, even with the Spirit race's assistance in refining the Primal Chaos Star, it would ultimately just benefit others.
...
The three factions formed an alliance.
"Thank you for your help in the battle against the Sky race," the Spiritual Empress said.
"Our Strength race has always kept our promises!" Kan Niba's voice was low, still not recovered from the sorrow. "Even if we hadn't helped you, I would have fought the Sky race anyway!"
If it weren't for the Sky race's interference, they would have held onto the Natural Star by now!
"Regardless, we're extremely grateful," the Spiritual Empress continued. "Before refining the Chieftain Star, you might as well settle on the Natural Star for now. We can look out for each other."
"No!" Kan Niba was about to refuse, but Wang Ye interrupted, "That's a great idea. With the Spiritual Empress harnessing the Natural Star's energy to help the Strength race recover, the army's combat prowess can quickly return to its peak. It's beneficial for both sides."
The Spiritual Empress glanced at Wang Ye and nodded gently. "Indeed."
Kan Niba remained silent.
He was somewhat cautious around the Spiritual Empress but trusted Wang Ye more.
Wang Ye continued, "In the defense battle for the Natural Star, the Dark race and Sky race suffered heavy losses. They have not recovered yet, and it will take time to regroup or mobilize more forces. Now is our best opportunity."
From the Spirit race's perspective, they were eager for the Strength race to remain on the Natural Star.
This would strengthen the Natural Star's guards, deter the Sky and Dark races, and help the Natural Star through this critical period of energy recovery.
However, from the perspectives of humanity and the Strength race, seizing this moment to secure victory and establish a new order in the high-dimensional cosmic was paramount!
Kan Niba's eyes brightened!
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" The Spiritual Empress frowned. "There is significant risk in refining the Chieftain Star now."
Wang Ye responded, "Externally, the Strength race's only opponent is the Dark race. Once the Strength race leaves the Natural Star and refines the Chieftain Star, the Sky race won't focus on them. Internally, only Kan Niba needs to be restored to peak condition for the refinement."
"Given the Spiritual Empress's alignment with the Natural Star and the natural treasures at our disposal, the risks should be manageable."
"There's always a risk, but it's much smaller compared to the risk of being discovered by the Sky or Dark races."
"If the Sky or Dark races learn of our plan and set up a blockade around the Chieftain Star, we will be in serious trouble."
Seeing the Spiritual Empress deep in thought, Wang Ye pressed on, "Short-term benefits and risks pale in comparison to the importance of long-term cooperation."
"Whether the Strength race can secure the Chieftain Star is the key to establishing a three-way balance of power in the high-dimensional cosmic."
"Otherwise, if the Sky and Dark races join forces..."
"We will surely be defeated!"
Wang Ye's words resonated loudly.
Kan Niba's eyes burned with ambition and fighting spirit.
The Spiritual Empress looked deeply at Wang Ye and then nodded. "You're right."
"I will assist Leader Kan in regaining his peak condition as quickly as possible."
"Let's discuss the details of the refinement to ensure everything goes smoothly."
"Agreed," Wang Ye replied with a smile.
Suddenly, he remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, Spiritual Empress, the Strength race previously promised me a chaos realm on the Natural Star. Although the leadership has changed, you wouldn't go back on your word, right?"
Kan Niba was confused by his words.
The Spiritual Empress was speechless.
...
The Sky race was furious!
They thought they could take advantage, but instead, they suffered significant losses!
The deaths of the six-winged dimension lord and the eight-winged Venerate were not the worst of it.
Four ten-winged Supremes had also fallen!
In addition to the losses in the battle of the Ancestral Star, the Sky race suffered a total of ten Supreme casualties in this high-dimensional race's battle!
Moreover, they gained nothing in return!
This was a severe blow to both their morale and dignity, and it undermined their position as rulers of the high-dimensional cosmic.
Especially for the divine son, Lotaro, who lost face entirely.
"Spirit race!" Lotaro gritted his teeth.
He was desperate for revenge, to wash away the shame he had suffered.
However, he was acutely aware of how terrifying the Spirit race could be when they controlled a Natural Star.
Even if their energy reserves were depleted, they could still significantly boost the strength of a Spiritual Empress.
The unlimited energy and the superior support from the Natural Star worked perfectly together!
Unless the Sky race could muster forces far beyond those of the Spirit race, they had no chance of taking down the Natural Star without incurring enormous costs.
But such an effort would only benefit the Dark race.
"D*mn it!" The divine son, Lotaro was filled with unwillingness.
...
Natural Star.
In the end, Wang Ye didn't manage to get his hands on a chaos realm.
After all, there were only five huge chaos realms on the Natural Star.
It would have been astonishing if the Spiritual Empress had agreed to give up such a valuable asset from the Spirit race.
However, the higher the initial demand, the higher the final price often is.
In the end, they secured a peak ancient gem treasure level chaos domain!
The Spirit race proved to be very generous!
The territory was twelve times the size of the chaos domain the Strength race had allocated to him!
Additionally, he gained the right to cultivate in a huge thunder chaos realm.
Wang Ye was quite satisfied.
After all, it wasn't easy to extract benefits from the usually stingy Spirit race.
Besides the Natural Star, he also secured a small piece of land from the Strength race to refine the Chieftain Star.
Once linked with the Nine Calamity Star, Natural Star, and Chieftain Star...
The new training Triangle Saber Technique of the Primordial Star would form a perfect structure!
"It's almost done," Wang Ye noted as he observed Kan Niba gradually recovering to peak condition.
The Spiritual Empress spared no effort in using the Natural Star as an energy source to help other Strength race experts recover.
Refining the Chieftain Star was already on the agenda.
The Spiritual Empress was practical.
Although she was smart and thoughtful, once she made a promise or decided on a course of action, she would fully commit.
Your next journey awaits at M V L
As a business partner, she was reliable.
"How are you feeling, Brother Ba?" Wang Ye had a better relationship with Kan Niba than with the former leader, Kan Ersuo.
He was more straightforward.
If you treated him sincerely, he would respond in kind.
"I'm in great shape!" Kan Niba replied, his eyes full of heroic spirit.
"That's good," Wang Ye smiled happily. "Here's to great success in our refining efforts!"
"Thank you for your good wishes!" Kan Niba said, his eyes shining brightly.
...
Celestial Star.
The divine son, Lotaro was taken aback.
He received the latest news that Strength race experts were continuously appearing on the Chieftain Star!
At the same time, experts from the Spirit race were also present!
The Sky King Corps responsible for monitoring the area outside the Chieftain Star had been violently scattered, suffering heavy casualties.
Lotaro thought, "What were they up to?"
Refining!
Lotaro was very perceptive. He quickly understood the situation. "I see!"
"No wonder the Strength race ceded the Natural Star to the Spirit race!"
"I get it now!"
Lotaro grinned, not with anger but with joy. "The Chieftain Star is the largest and most violent Primal Chaos Star in the high-dimensional cosmic. It won't be easy to refine!"
"They're underestimating the Chieftain Star!"
"The Strength race is going to suffer a huge loss this time!"
"Tian Hongzi!" Lotaro shouted, feeling elated.
"I'm here," Tian Hongzi suddenly appeared.
"Contact the Dark race immediately!" Lotaro's eyes were filled with ambition. "Tell them the good news!"
"Yes, my lord. Anything else?" Tian Hongzi asked.
"No need!" Lotaro replied. "We and the Dark race are enemies. They have their methods. Once they know the Strength race's whereabouts, they won't let them go!"
"Understood." Tian Hongzi left.
"Tian Shanu!" Lotaro called out.
"Yes!" Tian Shanu appeared.
"Mobilize the troops and prepare!" Lotaro's eyes sparkled with a dangerous light.
"If the Strength race fails in their refining attempt, it will trigger a chain reaction!"
"Once the opportunity arises, whether it's the Natural Star or the Chieftain Star, the Strength race or the Spirit race..."
"We'll be in a position to reap the benefits!"
