When the power of resurrection is controlled by people, they begin to lose their appreciation for life and even lose their sense of crisis.
After becoming accustomed to the power of resurrection, people tend to act more impulsively and are more deeply influenced by their emotions.
They roam freely in areas protected by resurrection formations, but become timid and hesitant once they leave that area.
Even worse, some people treat their lives as a game, ignoring existing rules and laws, acting as players, and indulging themselves recklessly.
For this group of cultivators who participated in the battle on Venus, they will face years of psychological counseling upon their return to Earth Star.
Although the number of cannon fodder among the Snail People is large, it is ultimately finite.
Over time, the surface battles on Venus gradually shifted in favor of Earth Star.
The cannon fodder that followed truly became cannon fodder; they landed on the ground and were submerged by the sheer number of cannon fodder without even making a splash.
Meanwhile, aerial combat continued in full swing.
Tie Xingzhen and his group were no longer fighting within Venus's atmosphere.
After the high-level cultivators retaliated and destroyed several more escort ships inside the atmosphere, they turned and flew into space.
Battles inside a planet are clearly not their domain; space is.
Faced with the prospect of confronting these escort ships in space, a considerable number of cultivators hesitated.
The reason is simple: within the atmosphere of Venus, they are still within the range of the resurrection array, so even if they die, they can be resurrected.
Once they leave Venus and escape the great formation, if they die, their remains will truly be lost forever.
Standing on the boundary of this great formation, many cultivators hesitated to take that step into space.
Not all cultivators are military personnel, nor are all cultivators filled with righteousness and willing to sacrifice themselves for their country and people.
Inside Venus, they were able to stand up because they knew they could be resurrected, so they had nothing to fear.
But once that step is taken, without the blessing of resurrection, many people lose their courage.
The frigates were quite powerful; even in dogfights in the atmosphere, a considerable number of cultivators had died several times.
They have already cultivated immortality, and their talent for cultivation is quite good. Moreover, their strength is now above average among all living beings.
They were unwilling to take such a risk.
"Hmph, I know what you're hesitating about, but you're not my soldiers, so I can't say anything."
Tie Xingzhen arrived a little late, carrying a Snail People frigate captain who had just violently opened a can.
"Since they're not prepared to go to the front lines, they can take this thing back to Earth Star and send me a message telling my brothers to come quickly."
He tossed the talisman in his hand into the crowd, and one of the cultivators reached out and caught it.
Although they were complete strangers before, after experiencing such a battle, they had come to know each other to some extent.
Although Tie Xingzhen didn't provoke them much or say anything offensive, the cultivators who heard his remarks felt somewhat ashamed.
Indeed, they are still afraid of death.
"What are you standing there for? Those who need to move, move; those who need to go back, go back. Wartime situations change in an instant; there's no time for you to stand around."
With that, Tie Xingzhen flew directly into the sky, tearing open a gaping hole in the airflow.
"Me too."
The man who caught the prisoner tossed him to someone beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then followed closely behind Tie Xingzhen, heading into space.
The remaining cultivators looked at each other in silence, and indeed, none of them took another step forward.
"Let's hurry and go report this."
One of them shook his head and turned to walk towards the portal.
"I want to go too, but I have parents and young children at home..."
The cultivator standing still murmured to himself.
"Alright, alright, everyone's situation is like this. There are differences between people. You've cultivated yourself to this point, haven't you realized it yet?"
"So what if you're timid? Don't make up any ridiculous excuses to cover it up. This is all we can do. As for matters of national importance, those are the things heroes do."
A cultivator beside him tugged at him, and then flew back with the crowd.
"Not everyone can be a hero. Even if everyone has power, heroes will still be a minority."
"Yes, if you find an excuse to deceive your true self, do you still want to cultivate? You'll be plagued by inner demons for the rest of your life."
Once in space, the escort ships' speed was significantly increased, and their combat methods and formations were clearly much more effective.
This has indeed caused some trouble for the Tie Xingzhen.
He was still somewhat uncomfortable with space combat. He had barely emerged from the atmosphere when he was hit by several laser strikes in quick succession.
The cultivator following behind Tie Xingzhen was also in a sorry state. He didn't have Tie Xingzhen's powerful physique and could only use a shield to block the attacks. Fortunately, his magic was also quite exquisite, and he quickly cast an invisibility spell on himself, which greatly reduced the amount of firepower directed at him.
Once in space, these frigates became much more agile, like fish in the sea. Tie Xingzhen launched several attacks, but each time he almost managed to touch their edges.
Fortunately, he had enough time to try and fail, and these frigates would always need energy.
Just after the escort ships retreated into space, the current battle situation was also transmitted to the Star Destroyer's command center.
Aozile had foreseen the ground troops' defeat, after all, they had seen races that were particularly good at ground combat before, and it was common for their cannon fodder troops to be wiped out.
However, situations like this are indeed quite rare.
The ground battle was clearly intense, and judging from the fleet's situation, the natives were indeed physically strong. However, they should have suffered heavy losses under the suicidal attacks of the cannon fodder. But now, their numbers are actually increasing, which is quite illogical.
The subsequent defection of the cannon fodder troops also surprised him; weren't these guys afraid of the bombs exploding?
The battle against the frigates was not going very well either, as there were still some strong individuals among the natives.
The image of Tie Xingzhen had already reached his command center, and the analysis results of Tie Xingzhen's physical attributes were also set aside. The physical strength of this creature was far superior to that of the escort ships. Fighting him dogfighting on the planet would be tantamount to suicide, which was why he ordered the fleet to return to space and fight on their home turf.
Incidentally, he also coveted Tie Xingzhen's body. He couldn't even imagine the strength of using it as an outer shell.
"Get the cruisers moving too. The first one, coordinating with the escort, should take down this native, and ideally leave his body behind. The second team, launch a ground cleanup attack; these cannon fodder are all useless."
"Cleaning solution..."
The messenger beside him did not act immediately; there were multiple plans for cleaning the planet, and he needed to decide on the Aozile.
"Use the disintegration bombs. Remember to drop several. There are two habitable planets in this system. If we can't get this one, then destroy it."
"Okay, I'll have the second team launch an attack with the disintegration shells."
