Apocalypse: Infinite Evolution Starts from Attribute Allocation

Primordial Star.

The battle had erupted in full force!

The Spirit race army advanced with unstoppable momentum, cutting through everything in their path!

Various elemental innate energies exploded with astonishing power on the Primordial Star!

With the continuous surge of the Spirit race's innate energy, they overwhelmed the Sky race, leaving them in disarray!

The disparity in numbers and strength was immense.

Furthermore, the surprise attack caught the Sky race completely off guard.

The Spiritual Empress commanded with calm precision from the rear.

Even though the Female Spirit race was not skilled in close combat, their sheer numbers minimized their weaknesses.

On the other hand, the combination of various elemental energies and the explosive suppression of innate energy left the Sky race with no room to resist.

The spacetime domain was utterly destroyed.

The Sky race's experts who charged into the fray were met with concentrated fire before they could even get close!

With a terrifying numerical advantage, extensive coverage, and the Spiritual Empress personally overseeing the battle, the Spirit race held an absolute advantage!

The Sky race was utterly defeated.

"Both of you, get ready." The Spiritual Empress said to her three supreme peak subordinates, "Ling Chen, you are responsible for depleting the fire seed's energy and simultaneously paving the way for Ling Ling's refinement."

"Ling Ling, prepare your willpower talent and refine it as quickly as possible!"

"Ling Feng, if Ling Ling fails in the refinement, be ready to take over at any moment!"

"Yes, Spiritual Empress!" the three peak Supreme beings responded.

They were fully obedient to the Spiritual Empress's directives, with no objections.

Under her leadership, they would undoubtedly capture the Primordial Star and make their return to the high-dimensional cosmic!

"Spiritual Empress, is something wrong?" Ling Chen suddenly asked.

"It's nothing," the Spiritual Empress said with a slight shake of her head. "It just feels too easy. There's something unsettling about it."

Ling Ling smiled. "The Sky race never expected us to attack the Primordial Star. Our preliminary deception and preparations were so flawless that the attack proceeded smoothly."

"Perhaps," the Spiritual Empress conceded, though she still wore a worried expression.

The more they approached the core of the Primordial Star, the more she sensed something amiss.

It wasn't that the battle was easy.

The Sky race's defenders were fighting fiercely, not merely putting on a show.

It was an instinctive feeling.

Suddenly, the Spiritual Empress's expression shifted slightly.

She received a message deep within her consciousness.

Her phoenix eyes flashed with a sharp light as she pursed her lips and glanced intently at the nearby core area.

"Retreat," the Spiritual Empress's voice rang out across the army.

The high-spirited Spirit race warriors were stunned.

The core area was so close!

They were only a step away from success!

Retreat?

Ling Chen, Ling Ling, and Ling Feng, the three peak Supreme beings, were equally perplexed.

They looked at the Spiritual Empress with confusion.

"Plans have changed. Withdraw for now," the Spiritual Empress said calmly, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"Those who disobey will face death."

...

In the core area.

Tian Yumo floated silently in mid-air, her eyes flashing with insight.

Swoosh! The Pure Ice Queen appeared.

"My lord, the Spirit race has retreated," the Pure Ice Queen reported.

"I understand," Tian Yumo said.

"Did they discover something?" the Pure Ice Queen asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps there's a flaw somewhere," Tian Yumo replied. "The Spiritual Empress is very intelligent and observant. It's not surprising she found a flaw, especially since this is a hastily arranged setup."

The Pure Ice Queen sighed. "I didn't expect the Spirit race to target the Primordial Star. Without Ye Wang, we could have been in serious trouble."

"Indeed," Tian Yumo said, her phoenix eyes showing satisfaction. "This time, we owe it to him."

"Too bad we couldn't lure the Spiritual Empress into the trap and wipe out the Spirit race in one fell swoop," the Pure Ice Queen said.

Tian Yumo replied, "If we couldn't keep the Spiritual Empress, it would likely lead to heavy losses for the Spirit race. We'll also expend a lot of our resources. At least this saves us time and effort on refining the fire seed."

"Should we pursue them?" the Pure Ice Queen asked.

"No need," Tian Yumo said. "This is sufficient. The Spirit race has suffered severe damage in this battle."

"No immediate threat."

---

Spacetime Star, Spirit race main hall.

Ling Shu and Wang Ye stared at each other.

Ling Shu's face was filled with vigilance and anger, while Wang Ye's expression remained calm.

"The Spiritual Empress won't listen to you!" Ling Shu said through gritted teeth. "We will definitely conquer the Primordial Star!"

Wang Ye smiled knowingly. "Don't worry. The Spiritual Empress has her judgment."

What this young Spirit race girl thought wasn't crucial.

What mattered was whether she could convey her information to the Spiritual Empress.

"Why are you so sure?" Ling Shu demanded, staring at Wang Ye. "The Sky race couldn't possibly know our plan in advance or have set an ambush for us!"

"The Spiritual Empress's plan is flawless!"

Wang Ye shook his head. "There's no such thing as a perfect plan. This isn't your first plan, is it? Even if the Sky race knew nothing, to be honest, you might not have been able to take down the Primordial Star."

"Don't underestimate Tian Yumo."

Ling Shu snorted. "How can she be compared to our Spiritual Empress!"

"Never underestimate any race, especially one that has already defeated you," Wang Ye said.

Ling Shu's face flushed red with anger as she was about to retort.

Suddenly...

Swoosh! The spacetime shifted.

An elegant figure appeared in the empty main hall.

Wearing a phoenix crown, she exuded maturity and charm, full of feminine grace.

"Spiritual Empress!" Ling Shu exclaimed, her face lighting up with surprise. "Did we win?!"

"We've retreated," the Spiritual Empress said, shaking her head.

"Ah?" Ling Shu was stunned, staring in disbelief at the Spiritual Empress and then at Wang Ye.

He was right...

"Did the Sky race pursue you?" Wang Ye asked, looking at the Spiritual Empress.

"No," the Spiritual Empress said. "Chasing us wouldn't benefit them. The Sky race probably hopes I was just bluffing and will return to the core area."

Wang Ye gave a thumbs up. "Impressive."

It was not easy to make such decisive moves.

After all, the Spirit race had meticulously planned this and invested so much effort in the early stages.

This retreat was essentially a complete waste of their previous efforts, and the losses were substantial.

"Regardless," the Spiritual Empress said, "thank you for your warning. Otherwise, we would have suffered severe losses."

"I don't want you to lose to the Sky race," Wang Ye said.

The Spiritual Empress nodded.

She understood what Wang Ye meant.

To the Sky race, the Spirit race was a much greater threat than humanity.

"Our plan this time has completely failed," the Spiritual Empress said, her voice tinged with sadness. "Though we've preserved some of our strength, we won't be able to pose any threat to the Sky race for a long time."

"Moreover, the Sky race's defenses against us will only become stronger. It will be increasingly difficult to execute the plan in the future."

Ling Shu clenched her fists and bit her lips. "Impossible! How could we lose? How could the Sky race have discovered it?"

"Who told you to be so arrogant and refuse to cooperate..." Wang Ye thought.

There was no way you could bypass me, the middleman!

"Do you still want to take the Primordial Star? If you don't fail, who will?" Wang Ye thought.

"Not necessarily," Wang Ye said, looking at the two women. "It's too early to talk about failure until the last moment."

"I have a way to bring you back from the dead!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Spiritual Empress and Ling Shu's eyes changed instantly.

"What is it?" Ling Shu asked eagerly.

"Cooperation for mutual benefit," Wang Ye said with a smile.

"Cooperate with humans?" The Spiritual Empress looked at Wang Ye. "You can't even protect yourself. I don't want to harm you. At this stage, cooperating with us would be more harmful than beneficial for you."

"I understand." Wang Ye replied, "That's why you should only cooperate with me."

"With you?" Ling Shu's eyes widened. "What's the use of working with you?"

Wang Ye smiled. "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I believe the Spiritual Empress should be very clear about this after this battle."

His voice wasn't loud but struck straight at the Spiritual Empress's heart.

She gave Wang Ye a deep look.

At that moment, the Spiritual Empress understood everything.

She smiled wryly and shook her head, sighing. "I didn't expect this. I didn't expect this..."

Ling Shu was confused.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The Spiritual Empress's voice turned cold, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Since I dared to come here, I have my confidence." Wang Ye met the Spiritual Empress's gaze. "I not only found the Spirit race's main hall but also know where the male Spirit race's army is hiding on the Origin Star. I also know where the Self-Improving Alliance Realm's secret realm is!"

Ling Shu's eyes widened in shock.

Her chest heaved rapidly.

She wondered how he knew.

"I underestimated you." The Spiritual Empress's killing intent faded. "No matter how much I calculated, I never expected a mere Eternal human to influence the high-dimensional race conflict so significantly."

"There are pros and cons to everything," Wang Ye said. "The failure of this plan isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"You're relying on the pinnacle supreme beings to refine the Primordial Star. The risks are enormous."

"Even if you are lucky enough to win against the Sky race and take the heavily injured Primordial Star, whether you can withstand the Sky race's revenge is still uncertain."

"If it weren't for the unforeseen circumstances that caused the first two plans to fail, we wouldn't have risked taking the Primordial Star."

The Spiritual Empress paused, looking at Wang Ye with a bitter expression. "So, it was all you."

Wang Ye shrugged.

Yes, he was the one who had ruined all three of the Spirit race's plans.

"You can't blame me for this." Wang Ye said. "The Primordial Star you want is my home planet. I won't let you succeed, even if it costs me my life."

"You know about our plans?" The Spiritual Empress asked.

"I can roughly guess," Wang Ye replied.

"The first plan was to use the Self-Improving Race Alliance as the foundation and axis, expand and devour other chaos realms, unite with other low-dimensional races, and gradually develop a stable presence in the high-dimensional cosmic."

"Finally, when the refinement of the Primordial Star's fire seed was about to end, you would take it in one swift move."

"Am I right?"

The Spiritual Empress nodded. "Yes. Unfortunately, you ruined it."

Wang Ye said, "Even without me, the Sky race wouldn't have allowed you to grow unchallenged."

"Maybe," the Spiritual Empress said. "For the second plan, you interfered with our alliance with the Strength race, didn't you?"

Wang Ye said, "It's your fault for being too greedy, trying to exploit the Strength race with all sorts of schemes. They're not stupid and naturally chose a more advantageous partner."

"The results have proven everything, haven't they?"

The Spiritual Empress sighed softly.

That was right.

The result was clear.

The Strength race won, but the Spirit race lost.

They couldn't blame the humans for their destruction. They could only blame themselves for their lack of capability.

"That's why I said cooperating with me would be beneficial for everyone." Wang Ye smiled.

"You can help us secure territory and establish ourselves in the high-dimensional cosmic?" The Spiritual Empress smiled skeptically.

"Of course," Wang Ye said, looking at the Spiritual Empress resolutely.

"One hundred percent!"
