For the remaining stars of ancient civilization, the Black Night Apostles, Li Tianran felt extreme hatred.

Tang Su had become a vegetable-like existence because of them, and if they weren't dealt with, who knew what troubles they might cause in the future.

Li Tianran now possessed firepower no weaker than that of ancient civilizations. The Pioneers under his command were far more combat-effective than the Followers, and with Kunlun, Sky Citadel, and the soon-to-be-completed Gonggong Battleship, he had no fear even in an all-out war.

...

After the Sky Giant was defeated, Li Tianran did not repair it, because it was the Bronze Palace's Apocalypse Weapon, and already had the Star Apostle's mark. Even if repaired, it wouldn't serve Li Tianran, and would still choose to return to the Bronze Palace.

In the following days, the ancient civilization became much quieter. No Followers harassed the borders of the human defense line, and the large resource exploration teams sent out by Li Tianran were not intercepted by the ancient civilization.

The destruction of the Apocalypse Weapon was a major blow to the Star Apostle, and it chose to temporarily remain silent.

Li Tianran didn't know when the ancient civilization would go crazy again, and he kept urging the armory to complete the Gonggong Battleship as soon as possible.

Finally, amidst great anticipation, the Gonggong Battleship was completed on the third day after the Sky Giant attacked Kuangxi Island!

On the harbor, Li Tianran looked at the massive submersible battleship before him, its size no less than that of the Kunlun Giant Ship, a radiant smile on his face. Its overall shape looked like a sharp blade. Although it lacked a streamlined design, which might slow it down underwater, Li Tianran wasn't worried at all.

Because it had enough power!

As they say, when you have enough power, screw mechanics!

Even though the Gonggong Battleship's design wasn't primarily focused on speed, it could definitely outperform the Bronze Palace and the Giant City in the deep sea. Among the six miracle buildings, only the destroyed Giant Ark of the Marine Apostle could surpass the Gonggong Battleship in speed!

Moreover, the sharp design would make the Gonggong Battleship even more aggressive.

If the Kunlun Giant Ship was Li Tianran's sharp blade for dominating the sky, then the Gonggong Battleship was his divine sword for the sea!

A bright red flag fluttered from the battleship. Li Tianran couldn't contain his excitement any longer, and he said in a deep voice, "Today marks the beginning of our human civilization's full-scale counterattack against the ancient civilization!"

"From today onwards, we will repay the ancient civilization for the pain it has inflicted on humanity!"

"We will reclaim the lost land, sky, and sea..."

"And our dignity!"

"Gonggong Battleship, set sail!"

Li Tianran's words were broadcast in real-time throughout the human world, and all of humanity felt their blood boil.

With Li Tianran's order, the Gonggong Battleship roared to life, carrying its crew towards the distant sea, cleaving a clear line through the water, looking like the sword of a god from above!

"The human defense line has been rebuilt. Remain at the Sky Citadel to defend it. The Kunlun Giant Ship will set out with me!"

Li Tianran said in a deep voice. Kani City had been rebuilt and, with the Second Evolution Pioneers stationed there, had become impenetrable.

Li Tianran recalled the Kunlun Giant Ship and led a group of people to the command room!

With the Kunlun and Gonggong Battleships leaving Kuangxi Island, the decisive battle between human civilization and the ancient civilization officially began!

...

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Intense explosions echoed through the sky. The Kunlun Giant Ship was over a continent, and below it lay vast steel cities occupied by the Star and Black Night Apostle clans. Now, under the Kunlun Giant Ship's frantic bombardment, these steel cities were rapidly turning into ruins.

These cities were originally established by the Apostles as bases for collecting resources, and now they were piled with large quantities of resources that hadn't yet been transported away. But Li Tianran had no intention of stopping to collect those resources. He just frantically destroyed one city before moving on to the next.

He knew very well that, in such a short period, the resources collected by the Apostles were insignificant compared to the entire reserve of Blue Star. It was no pity to destroy them.

As long as the Star and Black Night Apostles could be wiped out, all the remaining resources on Blue Star would be within reach!

Under the Kunlun Giant Ship's bombardment, a steel city was razed to the ground almost every few minutes, and the Gonggong Battleship also cruised leisurely along the coastline. In the face of these two killing machines, the territory occupied by the Apostles was shrinking rapidly. In just half a day, over a thousand steel cities were completely destroyed!

Finally, the Apostles were enraged.

The Star and Black Night Apostles sent out their Followers and heavy weapons, launching fierce attacks on the human defense line. But under the Sky Citadel's heavy weapon defenses, the two Apostle clans were unable to inflict any devastating damage on the human defense line for the time being.

The war between the two sides gradually entered a fever pitch.

Fort Kadeer.

This was a city in the eastern part of the human defense line. At this moment, a fierce battle was underway. The main attackers here were the Star Apostle's clan and a large number of beast tides. Laser cannons roared, Followers screamed, and the ground was covered with mechanical wreckage and biological corpses, a scene of utter devastation.

And in the midst of such a tragic battlefield, a little girl suddenly appeared.

She was wearing a thin dress, carrying no weapons, and walking through the battlefield.

The scene looked extremely dangerous, as if in the next second, her small body would be swallowed by the sky full of artillery fire. But strangely, the artillery fire would distort direction as it approached her, as if there was a strange magnetic field around her.

And as she walked forward slowly, the violent beast tide now seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, trembling and prostrating on the ground, not daring to look up.

"It's... it's the Earth Apostle!" Finally, a Follower recognized the little girl. It was Han Han, after leaving Kuangxi Island.

No one knew where she had gone during this time, nor why she had appeared here.

"Stop firing! Stop firing!"

A Follower roared loudly. Their fear of the Earth Apostle had reached its peak, afraid of angering her and having her exterminate their clan.

At this time, it was already difficult enough to deal with human civilization. If a Triangular Tower was added, the Star and Black Night clans would probably be wiped out within half a day!

The commander within the human defense line also recognized Han Han, and he chose to do the same as the Followers, ordering his men to stop firing.

Thus, the fierce war stopped because of one person's arrival, and an extremely eerie silence appeared on the battlefield.

Han Han walked forward slowly, her eyes looking around. Suddenly, her footsteps stopped. She stood in front of a Follower and asked softly, "What do you think is the meaning of your life?"

That Follower was almost scared into fainting. After a long time, it stammered, "I live... to serve the King!"

"Loyalty," Han Han whispered.

"Yes, loyalty is the meaning of my existence. To be able to expand territory for the King is the goal of my life!" Seeing that Han Han had no intention of attacking, the Follower's courage grew, and its words became coherent.

Han Han took no further action, turned and walked in another direction. She saw a human soldier, stopped again, and asked, "What about you? What is the meaning of your life? What are you fighting so hard for?"

The human soldier was stunned for a moment, scratching his head in embarrassment, and said, "I think... I just want my wife and children in the rear to live and not be harmed."

"Family," Han Han whispered.

"Yes... yes." The human soldier didn't know why Han Han was asking this, but he nodded anyway.

"Thank you," Han Han said, turning and walking further away. Soon, her figure disappeared from the battlefield, and the fierce war began again...

...

"Loyalty, family, love, reproduction, creation, work..." Han Han walked alone on the desolate earth, repeating some nouns in her mouth, a trace of confusion in her eyes. "Every creature has a meaning and goal in life. What is the meaning and goal of my life?"

Yes, during this time after leaving Kuangxi Island, Han Han had walked through countless cities and met many people. What she wanted was an answer, which was why she lived.

As the most powerful creature on Blue Star, Han Han possessed almost everything, but lacked a goal.

What was her goal?

If she was just living for the sake of living, what was the point of life?

She herself was the third consciousness born from the Earth Apostle. She wanted to be as different as possible from the Earth Apostle and Han Han, she wanted to make herself more charming and powerful than the Earth Apostle and Han Han, but she didn't know how to do it.

She didn't want to repeat what the Earth Apostle and Han Han had done, but she didn't know what she should do.

The Earth Apostle's goal was to lead the clan to break through to a Level 1 civilization, so she worked hard for it. As for Han Han, she was just a child. What she expected was to stay with her family, to have endless snacks and toys.

Each of their consciousnesses had a goal to continue living.

But she herself had nothing.

Power, authority, everything she wanted could be obtained easily, but she still felt extremely empty, like a powerful shell.

"What is it that I really want?" Han Han opened her hand, looking at the gloomy sky through her fingers, her eyes full of confusion.
