Junjue and Wan'er had just finished eating and should have been in a good mood, but their unease made the atmosphere heavy.
They all knew that the entire planet Earth had been taken over by alien beasts, but they still held a glimmer of hope.
The Duke decided to ask the system in his mind if he could still take back Blue Star, which was controlled by the alien beasts.
In the quiet room, Junjue closed his eyes and silently called upon the system in his mind.
"system!"
The system responded to his call as always, and a soft electronic voice echoed in his mind: "Host, is there a problem?"
Junjue's voice trembled slightly: "Can we take back Blue Star now?"
The system was silent for a moment, then replied: [Host, this is really difficult. I've provided you with some clues; please look at them carefully.]
Soon after, a scene appeared on the blue screen in front of the Duke. He saw billions of winding caves stretching endlessly into the distance, tens of thousands of meters underground, with no bottom in sight.
Inside each cave, countless slimy, burrowing alien beasts roared, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Junjue couldn't help but gasp, his thoughts beginning to race.
Then the scene quickly changed, and the Duke saw the bottomless ocean again. Strange shrieks came from the seawater. The ocean was occupied by countless aliens. Tens of thousands of meters below the seabed, huge alien creatures were writhing, which was terrifying.
Far from the ocean, the Duke saw himself thousands of meters in the air, and he felt dizzy, as if there was no solid ground beneath his feet.
Countless flying alien beasts seemed to hover around him in the sky, emitting terrifying howls.
Finally, what the Lord saw was a panoramic view of the entire Blue Star, where every corner was occupied by twisted, crawling, and disgusting alien beasts.
They swarmed in, covering the entire planet and destroying all life and beauty.
The Duke's face was as pale as paper; he felt as if he were in despair.
His eyes met Wan'er's, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.
The Duke asked, trembling, "Is all of this real?"
I used to think there was still a glimmer of hope for humanity. But now it seems I was just overthinking things.
The system calmly responded to him: "[Host, this is the scene I reconstructed using data I collected over the past few days.]"
Blue Star has long since fallen completely, and alien beasts control everything.
This place has long been unsuitable for human habitation!
But remember, hope has always been humanity's last stand.
Junjue remained silent, feeling the unwavering resolve deep within his heart.
Even though Blue Star is already devastated, he still doesn't want to give up Blue Star, what should he do if he doesn't want to give up his home?
"Junjue, is something on your mind?" Wan'er asked worriedly when she saw her boyfriend's pale face.
"Wan'er, if... I mean, if Earth is truly beyond saving..."
Wan'er gripped Junjue's hand tightly, interrupting him. Her eyes shone with unwavering determination: "We cannot give in. We must fight for the future of Blue Star."
The Duke looked at Wan'er with deep affection, his heart filled with respect for her determination and courage: "Yes, we will never abandon this planet. No matter how difficult and dangerous it may be, we will fight to the very last moment!"
They encouraged each other, facing the horrific scene before them with unwavering determination.
Despite the uncertainty and hardship ahead, they are determined to find a way to fight the alien beasts and fight for the freedom of Earth.
In this seemingly hopeless world, there is still human pride and courage. They light the flames of hope in the darkness and fight to reclaim the blue planet.
[System, is there anything currently capable of destroying all the alien creatures on this planet?]
[Host, given the current dire situation, to eliminate the alien beasts on this planet, we need 10,000 energy mother trees to trigger an energy explosion.]
However, if that were the case, the entire Blue Star and all the abandoned planets would be pulverized by all the Mother Trees of Energy, and that planet would cease to exist.
Upon hearing the system's reply, Junjue frowned.
If we don't eliminate these disgusting alien beasts, who knows where they'll go and wreak havoc on other planets in the future?
At this moment, the ruler was in a dilemma. This planet was the place where humanity had been passed down for a long time. To eliminate these ghostly things, they had to destroy the planet.
The Duke began to ponder.
If this planet is destroyed, where will humanity go?
If a planet that humanity has not yet visited ceases to exist, humanity will have lost its home.
This planet is not only the place where humankind has a long history, but also a testament to the magnificent miracles created by the hard work of our ancestors.
Junjue recalled every detail of his growth and the many wonderful times he shared with his family and friends.
Whether it was the evergreen forest or the azure ocean, they were indelible memories in his mind and soul.
This planet has witnessed countless advancements in human civilization and is a place that continuously nurtures heroes and great figures.
However, at the same time, the ruler could not ignore the grim situation before him.
These alien beasts ravaged the planet, causing immense harm and threat to humanity.
They ruthlessly destroy life, damage the environment, and run rampant without restraint.
Junjue smiled bitterly and clenched his fists.
As the guardian of the planet, he felt the responsibility and burden on his shoulders.
They cannot stand idly by and allow these disgusting alien beasts to continue wreaking havoc on other planets.
But he couldn't easily give up on this planet; he loved it and cherished his home.
Amidst a fierce internal struggle, the Duke slowly approached the window.
He could see the sticky, disgusting scorched earth and the long-destroyed buildings still visible on the outer planet.
These are all endless sorrows caused by the destruction inflicted by alien beasts.
"If this planet is destroyed, what will become of humanity?"
[Host, this planet is completely rotten, from the Earth's core to the surface. If we don't destroy it soon, other planets will inevitably suffer as well.]
"How could I not know what you mean? But humanity has nowhere else to go. If we destroy it now, are we going to stay in this space forever?"
[Host, the alien beast has not yet fully evolved to the peak of level twelve.]
If they all evolve to their peak, even if you blow up all 100,000 of your energy mother trees, they won't be killed.
"I'll think about it!"
Suddenly remembering something, Junjue continued to mutter, "System, how's it going with your search for habitable planets for humans?"
[Since the permissions have just been granted, you will need to wait patiently for about half a month.]
"All right!"
Junjue breathed a sigh of relief upon not hearing a word of refusal; the system was his only hope.
Whether humanity has a second home depends on this system.
