The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Three of the phantom spirits near the landing point of the first batch of Chinese warriors were captured by bandits, and four were killed.

After the phantom spirit was killed, the spirit core that condensed was not only larger, but also darker in color, indicating that it had more energy.

The Song Gua was directly given to the Dark Pocket Watch to absorb, and the pocket watch immediately shouted excitedly, "Long live the King!"

"Oh, my dear king, where did you obtain such a pure spirit core? Could it be that you've already reached Dark Star and eliminated some phantom spirits?"

Curious Guy #2 is just making things up.

"How could that be? You Dark Stars are so powerful, how could we mere bandits possibly break through? This is from the heavens, artificially synthesized using their advanced technology!"

"Oh, Dark Lord above, homage to the greatness of science!"

"Haha, salute, salute..."

The pocket watch's intelligence astonished Good Second Brother.

However, one cannot blame the pocket watch for not being able to see the truth.

Song Gua usually doesn't carry dark artifacts with him.

He used these sacred artifacts as trump cards and rarely took them.

This resulted in these artifact spirits being completely isolated from receiving information from the outside world ever since they were imprisoned in the Soul-Devouring Pearl.

You either perceive things in your vicinity or listen to your "guide."

Therefore, the pocket watch had no idea about Dark Star's recent actions and plans.

He never imagined that so many phantoms would come to Blue Star.

Eighty thousand brave warriors and ten thousand bandits utterly routed countless locust-like synthetic beasts, as well as thousands of large synthetic beasts.

Song Gua captured tens of thousands of spirit cores in the battle, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Give it all to the pocket watch! I want to master a more complete set of rules regarding time!"

Good Second Brother responded.

"Old thief, you've eaten too much of the pocket watch; you seem a bit out of your mind."

"He's too weak to tolerate tonics? Ask him what's wrong."

"No, he's starting to talk nonsense."

Song Gua might as well ask the other spirits of the artifact.

Dark Balance: "Hundreds of spirit cores of varying sizes were replenished in a single day? Are you kidding me? How could Blue Star possibly have so many mutated beasts, let alone so many synthetic spirits and phantom spirits?"

Dark Dagger: "Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!"

Dark Bronze Mirror: "Curious Bro, what cup size do you prefer?"

Dark Golden Seal: "Amitabha, benefactor, you are playing tricks on this poor monk again."

That's why I said these Dark Artifacts are incapable of accomplishing anything.

Song Gua might as well ask the three phantom spirits who were just imprisoned.

These three were newcomers and were probably a little intimidated, so they told the truth.

"On the Dark Star, we spirits are actually food for the Overlord, the Dark King, and the Dark Emperor, just like you humans eat. You can't eat too much at once."

Dark Star, what kind of dog-eat-dog society is this?

Apart from those in positions of power, there was only food.

Outrageous.

Song Gua originally intended to pile up the Dark Pocket Watches in one go, directly grasping the complete rules of time, and who in the solar system could be his opponent?

It seems that you can't get fat in one bite.

I might as well distribute the spirit core among the other dark artifacts.

This meal satiated several of the Dark Artifacts.

Dark Balance: "What, have the bandits changed their ways? What you're feeding them is the vessel, not the spirit. That water from before won't work, let me tell you. Once the vessel is restored, it's truly restored. Trying to cut it off is like climbing to heaven!"

Dark Dagger: "Let me out! Ugh, I can't eat without a vessel! Let me out! Ugh, I can't eat without a vessel! Let me out! Ugh..."

Dark Bronze Mirror: "Hey buddy, don't ignore me! Curious Bro Number Seven? Oh, Number Five, huh? Hehe, tell me again about that massage you guys went to Jiangnan City together back then. I love hearing about it. What spirit core? Absorbing this isn't urgent, not urgent..."

Dark Golden Seal: "Amitabha, benefactor, you are very kind. If you are willing to fight for my Dark Star, it is not unreasonable to forgive and forget everything from the past."

Song Gua sat on the tattered sofa in the base camp, looking at the four dark artifacts in front of him, shaking his head and sighing.

"The Dark Emperor is truly fortunate to have such loyal ministers as you."

On the other side of the moon.

As the battle at the landing site was nearing its end, a blinding white light appeared on the horizon.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a spaceship over a thousand meters long slowly descending, the white light emanating from a massive aperture device at its tail.

It was surrounded by hundreds of escort fleets, and countless small unmanned machines were maneuvering rapidly.

"Sizzle—"

A hatch opened at one corner of the spaceship.

A blue and white figure flew out from it.

This set of mecha Song Gua is not unfamiliar.

The person who arrived was Miss Butterfly.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, we're a step too late."

Miss Butterfly went straight to Zhang Beihai.

Zhang Beihai also had a lot of blood on his body.

Although he had many people protecting him, he also took the lead in the battle just now and was injured himself.

Zhangbei Kaido.

"It's alright, thankfully we have bandits to help us. The enemy's plan to prevent us from landing has failed."

"Bandits?"

Miss Butterfly turned her head and saw the bandits scattered around, fighting against the few remaining chimeras.

"Why are they everywhere?"

Miss Butterfly was also confused.

"Our Eagle Eye system has been monitoring the entire outer ring of the moon. How come I didn't know when the bandits landed?"

Zhang Beihai smiled.

"Commander Zhou, regarding the bandits, I'm afraid there's no need to dwell on many things that are hard to understand."

Miss Butterfly reminisced about the events from her first collaboration with the bandits in Yunshan City to the present day.

"really."

The remaining chimeras were left to the bandits, and although the reinforcements from the heavens arrived, they dared not help.

They always felt that if they offered help, they would be scolded by the bandits.

Miss Butterfly said to Zhang Beihai.

"The Warriors can land with peace of mind. We have deployed half of our forces to guard the flight path, so that the Dark Star forces will not have another chance to hinder your landing."

I was worried that the reinforcements here wouldn't be enough, so I also mobilized a portion of the mechanical legion from the rear battlefield.

Unfortunately, their retreat was hindered by the chimera army, causing them to arrive a little late.

"With the power of the celestial beings protecting the flight path, the landing of our subsequent forces from Earth will be much safer."

The saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach." As professionals, we consume a lot of resources in battle, and even our equipment has durability, so it needs to be replaced frequently in a protracted war.

"Without delay, let's choose a nearby location to establish a position and logistical base, thus opening up a logistical route for subsequent troops."

"Yes, I'll give you some equipment and weapons to make your combat base more fortified."

"That would be best."

Through the perspective of his clone, Song Gua learns about the negotiations between the Celestial Mechanical Legion and the Blue Star Warriors.

Just a few months ago, the two sides were fighting to the death on Earth.

But now it seems that they are cooperating very closely.

After all, the Earth is facing a major catastrophe.

Needless to say, for the people of Earth, without a home, everything else is meaningless.

The celestial beings who sought to return to Earth had been striving for a thousand years, and of course, they couldn't bear to see Earth turn into a hellish wasteland.

Song Gua wouldn't ask the bandits to do something as trivial as building a base.

He left behind a clone, who impersonated the first identity, and stayed behind to follow the first batch of warriors.

The other bandits, shouting and yelling, began running all over the moon, chasing down various spirits of the Dark Star!
