Although at the leadership level, Zhou Gan had completely controlled the Crown Prince.

However, on the main battlefield, the Star Alliance still did not gain a significant advantage.

Although in the early stages of the war, the Star Alliance inflicted heavy losses on the Kaiyuan army thanks to its strong defensive capabilities and the first strike.

However, as Kaiyuan gradually recovered and the Mechanical Alliance and Elemental Alliance reinforced their troops, the balance of the war began to shift back towards equilibrium.

Zhou Gan had anticipated this situation, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

He wasn't one to be passive, nor did he like to keep enduring Kaiyuan's beatings.

For a leader like him, thinking three steps ahead for every one step is short-sighted. As the war gradually returns to equilibrium, it does not mean that the Star Alliance and Kaiyuan are at a stalemate.

Instead, Star Alliance is already at a disadvantage.

It's like arm wrestling.

You clearly gained an overwhelming advantage by taking the initiative.

Although your opponent was caught off guard, they managed to stop the downward trend by relying on their strength.

And gradually, they turned the tide.

Anyone who's ever arm-wrestled knows that feeling of helplessness as you're gradually pulled back...

This is the dilemma that Starlink is currently facing.

While stratagems may help the Star Alliance achieve temporary victories, they cannot guarantee lasting success.

There's a saying that goes something like this: "Kaiyuan may be foolish, but Kaiyuan has great power..."

Moreover, once the war returns to a balanced state, it means that the Star Alliance will have to reveal more of its trump cards to suppress Kaiyuan.

Zhou Gan didn't plan to use his trump cards at this point...

Thinking of this, Zhou Gan leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply.

It's like having a ton of nuclear weapons and a giant Ivan, but you can't throw them away, because if you do, you'll lose one less.

Furthermore, nuclear weapons serve a deterrent purpose. If nuclear weapons were used in a conventional-level battle, it would only mean that the All-Star League's conventional combat capabilities were no longer sufficient...

In fact, if it weren't for the large number of Star Alliance elites being tied down on the battlefield of the myriad races, Zhou Gan wouldn't have such a headache...

"Sigh, fighting on two fronts is still too much of a strain..."

Thinking of the battlefield of ten thousand races, Zhou Gan thought of that old silver coin, Zhan Mo. Because his teacher, Sun Liancheng, was a whole level below Zhan Mo in terms of cunning, he had to keep an eye on the main battlefield while also keeping track of the developments on the battlefield of ten thousand races.

After all, although Zhanmo had stated his reasons for wanting to cooperate, he actually knew that for someone like Zhanmo...

If you have the potential and have demonstrated sufficient strength, then cooperating with the War Demon would be a powerful alliance.

But if you show even a hint of weakness...

Then the War Demon might abandon you as an ally and try other methods.

If Zhou Gan doesn't keep an eye on things, and if Zhan Mo really has other ideas, he could very well cause great harm to the Star Alliance.

This can't really be blamed on the War Demon.

Put yourself in Zhou Gan's shoes; if he were the War Demon, he might already have several plans in hand by now.

After all, what if Starlink can't hold on?

That means the tree falls and the monkeys scatter; the War Demon will absolutely not continue to persist because of the sentiment of cooperation.

But why did Zhou Gan still insist on cooperating with Zhan Mo, even revealing his own strength?

Based on his understanding of the War Demon, Zhou Gan believed that although the War Demon portrayed himself as pitiful, the War Demon had been roaming the battlefield for many years and was mainly responsible for the external wars of the myriad races. He did not believe that the War Demon did not have his own private army.

Furthermore, this private army must be hidden among all races and possess formidable strength.

As long as the Star Alliance can demonstrate sufficient strength, then War Demon will not disappoint them.

After all, for someone like Zhan Mo, Zhou Gan only had one thing to say.

You may doubt the sincerity of old silver coins, but don't doubt their quality...

Just as Zhou Gan was pondering how to trick Kaiyuan, a message about the battlefield of ten thousand races arrived.

Jiang Wang single-handedly withstood a battle against billions of races!

When Zhou Gan saw the beginning of the document, he thought Wang Tianfeng had infiltrated this secret communication network.

Otherwise, why would the beginning of this document have such a strong smell of a rotten headline...?

But after he finished reading it, he was instantly shocked.

Jiang Wang's performance once again surprised him immensely...

That's the feeling.

Um? ? ? ?

How is that possible? This is actually possible?

Zhou Gan thought his assessment of Jiang Wang was already very high.

He has always believed that Jiang Wang is the pinnacle among this group of otherworldly beings, even on par with Aunt Li Xue. Even if he is superior, it is only in terms of his intellect, not his potential.

Don't assume that Aunt Li Xue is just a young girl because she's always fooling around with Jiang Wang and acts like a silly, love-struck fool.

Aunt Li Xue and Jiang Wang are alike; they are both affectionate and even a little rascal to each other within the insect hive.

But this only applies once you leave the hive portal...

Those are two fierce tigers coming down the mountain!

Let's set aside the piles of corpses behind Jiang Wang for now.

Li Xueyi's performance on the battlefield after being promoted to Diamond level alone was enough to shock a group of veteran Diamonds.

With Jiang Wang's help in suppressing the Succubus Queen, Aunt Li Xue was basically at full strength, whether in ranged or melee combat, or in mental or physical power.

She is in the top tier.

It should be noted that not long ago, Aunt Li Xue single-handedly annihilated an entire Kaiyuan fleet on the battlefield.

Even now, Aunt Li Xue's new title, "The Fallen Queen," has already spread across the front lines.

Because of the succubus's nature, many people who are hostile to Aunt Li Xue will unknowingly become her subjects, while the weak will die in their descent into depravity.

The Kaiyuan fleet that Aunt Li Xue annihilated—everyone died, but the ships remained intact...

Li Xueyi is truly worthy of her SS+ level talent.

He originally wanted to tell Jiang Wang about the battle, hoping it would make him withdraw and then motivate him to work harder.

But who would have thought that these two were both terrifying?

Jiang Wang's battle this time directly shattered his understanding of the ceiling.

If Aunt Li Xue is the ceiling, then Jiang Wang is above the ceiling.

It could be the roof? Or it could be even higher than the roof...

After all, even if Aunt Li Xue were at the Platinum level, ten of her wouldn't be able to withstand the combined might of the myriad races worth billions.

Thinking of this, a flame ignited in Zhou Gan's eyes.

If Jiang Wang could also advance to Diamond...

Could he also demonstrate such terrifying battlefield dominance in space warfare?

Thinking about this, he was filled with anticipation.

But soon, he returned to reality.

His expectations for Jiang Wang's future were like a carrot dangling in front of him, and he was like a mule being pulled along by Jiang Wang, working hard to get that carrot and revitalize Xinglian...

The metaphor was so vivid that even Zhou Gan couldn't help but smile.

But soon, a glint of light flashed in his eyes!

Yeah! Jiang Wang is a carrot! A carrot that even he himself craves!

So...wouldn't those people from Kaiyuan be tempted by this carrot?

Once his mind was set in motion, various plans suddenly surfaced in Zhou Gan's mind...

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

The sixth man smiled, but his fate remained uncertain...
