Chapter 1444 - Abyss of Misery (1/2)

The three Universal Civilizations were finally relieved after the Star Alliance’s infiltrators were captured. They quickly returned to the fleet and no longer blocked the news.

Very soon, the explosive news of the Galactic Alliance Army destroying the World Tree Civilization spread throughout the entire galactic society in the shortest time possible. Countless galactic residents on the refugee planets were shocked.

Not long ago, we were still in a passive state, enduring the full invasion of the enemy. Our future was filled with pessimism, and we were in a constant state of panic. However, before we were even mentally prepared, the tables turned in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, they told us that the war had ended, and everyone was safe… Brother, we just woke up, we haven’t even brushed our teeth!

The galactic residents were stunned.

However, as the official media of the three Universal Civilizations revealed the entire process of the war and confirmed that this was not a rumor, the entire galactic society finally recovered from the shock and only felt endless joy.

Under the shadow of the World Tree Civilization, the entire galactic society had been forced to change its way of operation, disrupting everyone’s lives. Countless people turned from free and casual galactic residents into refugees avoiding the flames of war. The wartime policies had tightened the resource supply and livelihood rights of the people, and the difference was huge. This change had lasted for almost twenty years. From the perspective of a civilization or a high-level Super, twenty years was just a short time. It was just a small wave in the river of time, but to ordinary galactic residents, this was almost a generation.

Any change in the era would be amplified on the individual. In the past, the three Universal Civilizations and the World Tree Civilization were in a stalemate, and no one could see the bright future of the war. Countless galactic residents pessimistically thought that this kind of life would continue forever, and tomorrow would not be any better. At least two or three more generations would have to suffer in the flames of war.

However, at this moment, the light of dawn tore through the dense fog and shone into everyone’s lives. This beam of light came from the countless soldiers who had sacrificed themselves at the frontline, from Black Star, who had single-handedly turned the situation around.

On the 17th of April, year 799 of the Galaxy Calendar, different races on countless planets were cheering in different languages.

Countless galactic residents called this day the ‘turning point of time’, representing the end of the war and the destruction of the World Tree.

As the victors, the three Universal Civilizations received the praise of the entire galactic society. In the promotion, the three Universal Civilizations did not cover up Black Star’s achievements:

Before the war broke out, he had been maintaining internal checks and balances to reduce internal conflicts. In the early stages of the war, he had led a group of Beyond Grade As to defend against the foreign enemies without any hesitation, and he had also personally taken the risk to gather crucial intelligence about the World Tree. During the preparation stage, he had been training the seeds of potential and nurtured a new batch of Beyond Grade As. One man stood alone in the shallow layer dimension, preventing the World Tree Civilization from advancing and forcing them to give up the battlefront that was the most dangerous to the three Universal Civilizations. He had found the World Tree’s main body first, forcing the World Tree to give up the invasion, and single-handedly lifted the curtains of the final battle, turning the long-term war into the final battle…

With so many achievements, Black Star’s glory in the war could not be concealed at all. His presence was extremely strong, and countless galactic residents recounted Black Star’s contributions in detail. The reverence that gushed out from their hearts was like a warm current that warmed the hearts, and it was like an uncontrollable soul trembling, penetrating every bone and nerve.

Although this was a little unfair to the normal soldiers who had sacrificed themselves at the frontline, after seeing Black Star’s deeds from start to finish, many galactic residents felt that the pace of the entire war was controlled by Black Star. He adjusted the general direction of the war, and the Galactic Alliance Army was more like a ‘tool’ that only carried out his will.

Because of the huge contributions, Black Star became the recognized ‘Chief War Hero’ of the galactic society. His reputation skyrocketed, exceeding all the previous records. He was truly like the sun in the sky, gaining the respect of the entire galactic society and receiving fanatical support.

As for the Beyond Grade As, they also received a large amount of reputation and received countless praises. This was especially so for the ‘sacrificed victims’ on the Soul Comfort Monument, who received more respect and became more popular.

Before the World Tree War broke out, Beyond Grade As were regarded as the privileged class of the galactic society, and they had been hated by many galactic residents. However, these Beyond Grade As fought a bloody battle and protected their safety, and the galactic residents were sincerely grateful.

Due to the wartime policies, most of the population of the various Star Fields had been concentrated on different planets. Now that the flames of war had been extinguished, the three Universal Civilizations had also begun to relocate batches of refugees, slowly leaving the wartime state and returning to normal society.

Central Galaxy, Planet Aquamarine.

In the huge open-air landing field, teams of spaceships with the Black Star Army insignia were parked neatly. The doors of the spaceships opened, and the people of Planet Aquamarine lined up in a long line. Following the orders of the army members, they stepped onto the starships that were returning home one after another.

The constant fear and anxiety made everyone look haggard and tired, but it could not hide the smiles and relaxation on their faces. They were full of hope for a beautiful tomorrow.

In the office of the government building, the white-haired and wrinkly Bennett stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked down at the dense crowd in the square and saw the tired and excited expressions of the Planet Aquamarine citizens.

“Only time can heal the wounds of war…”

As he spoke, Bennett turned around and looked at the statue of Black Star, which was the city’s landmark, with a gratified look in his eyes.

“Black Star… you really did it. I knew I could always trust you.”

Bennett smiled as though he was relieved of a burden.

He was already indifferent to many things, but he was still proud of having an old friend like Black Star.

At the same time, in the Floating Dragon Island above this planet.

A spaceship slowly entered the dock, and the hatch slowly opened.

Harrison walked out of the spaceship and stepped onto the platform. His eyes immediately locked onto Jenny, who was waiting for him.

As their gazes met, everything around them seemed to turn into nothingness. They only had each other in their eyes, as if a lifetime had passed since they met.

Harrison strode forward and kissed Jenny’s shiny forehead before pulling her into his arms.

Jenny only struggled for a moment before hugging Harrison’s back and whispering, “You still know to come back?”

“…Sorry, I had a reason to leave. I…”

“Alright, I’m not blaming you.” Jenny interrupted him and said, “I’m just thanking Black Star. If he had not found the World Tree’s main body and completed what you wanted to do, you would never have returned.”

“Indeed.” Harrison released Jenny and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Jenny glared at him and said, “Speaking of which, you’ve also reached the top in a single step. Now that you’ve got me, you’re in-laws with Black Star. Although I don’t get along with Black Star, I can’t deny that he’s already standing at the top of the universe. With him as your backer, you can do whatever you want in the future.”

“This…” Harrison was a little embarrassed.

Jenny snorted, lowered her head, and touched her lower abdomen. Then, she raised her fist and pretended to be fierce. “You have to treat me better in the future, okay? Otherwise, my sister and my brother-in-law will find you and beat you up. See if you can take it!” Harrison shuddered.

Although he was not dating Jenny because of her identity, he could not help but break out in cold sweat at the thought of the two Gods in Jenny’s family.
