Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 999 - 692: Reunion (Part 2)

Elorin's statent was undoubtedly a positive signal.

This ans that the Mine Star's efforts to resist the Bug Race and expose the conspiracy not only earned the personal recognition of the Star Alliance's observer but may also garner attention and even so degree of protection from the Star Alliance.

At the very least, those enemies hidden within the Peak Alliance will have to consider the Star Alliance's intervention before attempting to use similar despicable tactics again.

"Thank you, Scholar Elorin, for your fairness," Bai E nodded in acknowledgnt, "We look forward to a just outco from the Star Alliance's investigation. anwhile, regarding the sovereignty recognition and entry eligibility of the 'Bauhinia Republic'..."

"Rest assured," Elorin confird, "Through this incident, your side has demonstrated not only the potential for orderly governance but also the cohesive strength and survival capability of an entire political entity united from top to bottom in the face of impending catastrophe. This reflects the essence of a civilization far more than re population or technological data. I will emphasize this point in my report. Although the final recognition requires due procedures, you have, in my opinion, already proven your value through your actions. As for entry eligibility, once approved by the competition committee, there will be no obstacles."

The statent from the Star Alliance personnel added a bright spot to this grim victory.

At least legally and environntally, the "New Bauhinia" has gained a stronger amulet and a ticket to a broader stage.

The eting was nearing its end.

Losses had been tallied, enemies identified, and short-term goals were becoming clearer:

Fully repair the damage, restore production and defense, and continue to strengthen technology and military preparedness; leverage the attention of the Star Alliance and support from allies like Karian to stabilize the external environnt; anwhile, internally enhance integration and training, remain highly vigilant externally, pursue and prepare to respond to those enemies lurking in the shadows.

After the eting ended, everyone went their separate ways, busy with the myriad tasks of aftermath work.

Bai E walked alone to the observation window of the space station, gazing at the battlefield debris being gradually cleared away outside, and at the gray-brown planet in the distance, carrying countless hopes.

The war was far from over.

The threat of the Bug Race lood ever-present, and internal human betrayal lingered like a ghost.

The path ahead was still fraught with thorns.

But fortunately, the old friends had all returned.

"How did you end up mixing with the Dark Elves?"

Bai E had heard of the existence of the Dark Elves, a group expelled from the orthodox Elf Race.

Elves had sensitive constitutions, able to feel supre stimulation from even slight stimuli.

However, in high-dinsional space, there existed an Evil God nad after "desire," and these elves, to prevent their souls from being devoured by the Evil God, each practiced self-restraint, striving to maintain inner peace.

Alas, not every elf could always achieve inner clarity.

Those elves who succumbed to desire easily attracted the attention of the High-dinsional Evil God, causing the entire race to fall under the gaze of the Evil God.

To prevent these fallen kin from implicating others, the elves who compromised with desire were expelled from the orthodox race and branded as "Dark Elves."

As it turned out, these Dark Elves, removed by the orthodox elves, indeed posed a significant threat.

They road the world chaotically, synonymous with disorder.

"What do you think?" Yue Ying stepped closer, her cloak sliding to her feet with her steps.

She had been suppressing desires, nearly losing control upon seeing Bai E.

Having finally seized the opportunity of these two being alone, the pink desire that surged up in that mont spread with her spiritual energy field.

Only with Bai E by her side could she indulge herself freely without fearing being targeted by certain entities of high-dinsional space.

Bai E didn't even have ti to speak as his lips were blocked by a soft, cold touch... (over ten thousand words omitted)

...

"So you an that after the accident, you returned to your Elf Race?"

Afterward, the two began communication about everything that had happened since the spaceship accident.

"Yes. My sister can always find our race, but because of , she had to leave..."

"Does your sister have a way to take us back to the planet?"

Since leaving the mother planet, Bai E had lost the location of the mother planet.

If the spaceship hadn't been destroyed, they could still find the mother planet's presence from the star map records of the spaceship.

But with the spaceship entirely damaged, Bai E now had no clue how to find the whereabouts of the mother planet.

His original intention to establish the "New Bauhinia" sovereign nation in the universe was to bring all the people from the mother planet out.

Now, the developnt of New Bauhinia was going fairly well, establishing a stable foothold in the universe.

But the process of finding the mother planet was at an impasse.

Perhaps only Yue Ying's sister... the elf nad Feng Ling, with her spiritual energy skills, might be able to find a way to the mother planet.

"I once asked, but she can't either..." Yue Ying shook her head slightly, her expression bewildered, "Initially, when I lost contact with you, I asked her if we could rebuild a spaceship to find your whereabouts from the mother planet. But..."

Separated by the vast universe, even the Prophet of the Elf race struggled to pinpoint an ordinary star accurately.

"I understand..." Bai E's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of discouragent.

Now that even this most hopeful expectation was dashed, he really didn't know how he could find the whereabouts of the mother planet in the short term.

If he couldn't find the place, there was no point in talking about bringing people out.

"But you can..." Yue Ying suddenly said, staring intently into Bai E's eyes.

"Hmm?"

"My sister said she couldn't, but you can."

"?" Bai E was dumbfounded.

Yue Ying imitated her sister, mysteriously pointing to the sky, "When the opportunity arrives, you'll naturally know it."

...

Feedback from the Star Alliance was incredibly swift.

A week after the war ended, "apologies" from the Peak Alliance had arrived.

The ones pushed out were, of course, a few inconsequential figures, but the direct target pointed to was a substantial sum of resources brought forth by several core mber states within the three giants as compensation for this "private act."

While war undoubtedly resulted in losses, especially in personnel, in terms of resources, these compensatory resources completely filled the gap and even exceeded it.

And their attitude...

Now, across the entire Peak Alliance, New Bauhinia was fully acknowledged as a legitimate sovereign nation, representing the entire Star Domain of the Peak Alliance in battle.

This was no longer up for debate.

Even New Bauhinia itself was now incorporated into the Peak Alliance, becoming an official mber country within it, even endowed with parliantary discourse power, only ranking below the three strongest giants in the alliance.

Within just half a year, the nation had accomplished what so countries could not in decades or centuries since their founding... an achievent unimaginable for the now-defunct prior Bauhinia.

More importantly, even the Capital Star and the Colony Star, previously segnted away, were once again presented with both hands back under the na of "New Bauhinia."

"I wonder what the chief would feel seeing everything we have today..." Catherine stood beside Bai E, looking at the large-scale construction of planetary facilities outside the window.

Bai E remained silent.

If it had been the previous Bauhinia, without absolute control, it might not have developed into what it was today.

Next, what needed consideration was the ultimate competition about to comnce at the center of the Galaxy, among the top human nations' most elite mobile warriors.
