As the phantom of the pale eyes completely dissipated, the vacuum also became completely calm.
Lu Ning glanced around and saw that there were only forty-odd demigods left.
All the low-level demigods are dead, and most of the mid-level demigods are also dead.
The high-level demigods are alright; only two of them are completely dead, and the rest are not in good condition.
It's not a matter of spiritual pollution, but rather the side effects of using a single-use, highly dangerous substance three times in a row, which have had a significant impact on them.
Some demigods experienced physical problems, some experienced mental problems, and some experienced other kinds of problems.
The mental fluctuations of all the demigods became much weaker than before.
They continued to gaze in the direction where the moon had disappeared, their expressions filled with confusion.
A calm mental fluctuation came from Lu Ning: "It's over, let's go back first."
Everyone came to their senses.
They looked at each other, and Bai Yuan's somewhat hoarse voice rang out: "Is it finally over?"
At this moment, Bai Yuan's body had completely turned into paper, as if she had become a paper puppet, and her movements had become extremely stiff.
Lu Ning nodded: "Okay, let's go. Are you still able to move?"
Many of the demigods nodded.
Although my condition is very poor, I can still fly normally.
Li Yang's gaze swept over the dead demigod's body, a complex sadness appearing in his eyes.
His mental fluctuations conveyed: "Take these victims' bodies back."
The group collected the corpses and then flew towards Earth.
As they approached the barrier, a pale light flickered in Lu Ning's eyes, allowing everyone to pass through it.
Back inside the barrier, Lu Ning discovered that many areas on the Earth's surface were shaking, the oceans were churning, and giant waves were surging.
With the disappearance of the moon, the Earth's gravity changed, and the entire environment became extremely harsh.
However, this was better than Lu Ning had imagined.
He had originally thought that the environmental changes would be even more drastic than they are now.
He speculated that the barrier might have reduced the negative effects of the disappearance of gravity.
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the ocean.
He could sense a spiritual fluctuation surging in the depths of the ocean, surpassing that of a demigod but not yet reaching the level of an evil god.
Although the mental fluctuations were strong, Lu Ning believed he could handle them.
However, since the owner of this mental fluctuation had no intention of emerging from the ocean, Lu Ning thought about it and decided not to pay any more attention.
The numerous demigods returned to Base City 1 in silence.
The many exiles and human saints who remained in the base city stared wide-eyed at the sight of only a handful of demigods returning, their eyes filled with sorrow and pain.
"Where are our... ancestors?"
"Has our chieftain died in battle?"
"Thank God, Lord Scola, you're still alive!"
"..."
The exiled saints searched for the demigods of their own kind.
The exiled saints who found the survivors visibly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
The exiled saints who failed to find their demigods were deeply saddened and their mental state was clearly not good.
A group of human saints are also searching for guardians of humanity.
This time, there are not many surviving human guardians either.
Originally, there were only three high-level demigods: Li Yang, Yan Bing, and Luo Xingchen.
All three of them are still alive, but they are not in very good condition.
The others are either low-level demigods or mid-level demigods.
All the low-level demigod guardians died, and only Xuanxu, Baiyuan, and Harek survived among the mid-level demigods.
Ren Yun and Rodrigo, whom Lu Ning originally knew, also died in this battle.
Lu Ning also felt a little sad about this.
Among the human saints, An Lan glanced around before looking at Lu Ning and whispered, "Lu Ning... is Ya En dead?"
Lu Ning paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
An Lan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled: "Sigh..."
The other human saints also had sorrow in their eyes, their eyes red.
These fallen guardians of humanity protected humankind for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Even when Yaen had just become a demigod, he still made great contributions when he was at the Saint level.
These guardians, who had made significant contributions to the continuation of human civilization, used their lives to protect humanity one last time when facing an evil god.
The surviving demigods took out the preserved demigod corpses and placed them on the ground.
The exiled saints silently collected the demigod corpses of their people.
They intend to take the corpses of these demigods back to the Ruins.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Lu Ning said calmly, "This time they risked their lives to protect human civilization. In the future, when I become stronger, I will help you reclaim your homeland."
Upon hearing this, the many exiled saints fell silent for a moment, then expressed their gratitude to Lu Ning.
"Thank you, Lord Lu Ning!"
"I'm sure the clan chief's spirit would be comforted!"
"..."
Lu Ning calmly shook his head: "I should be thanking you. Without your help, human casualties would be far greater than they are now."
Without the help of these exiles, they would probably have had to abandon Earth and head to the Ruins of Return, at which point the number of humans who would have survived would have been even fewer than it is now.
Of course, if such a choice were made, then as the guardian of a demigod, one would naturally not die.
Lu Ning's feelings became even more complicated.
He said calmly, "I will return to the Ruins afterward. You can wait for me in the base city, or you can go back on your own."
