(Found) Looking for SF book, probably written over 40 years ago

[Jelke]

Hi,
I am looking for a book with the following plot. I must have read it at least 30 years ago. It made a very strong impression on me, because of its plot.
Earth is at war with another alien species. Suddenly both Earth and the alien species are totally destroyed by a third alien empire. This alien empire has made it it’s goal to exterminate all life forms in the universe, to assure Their own survival. From Earth, only a small fleet of space ships survive. Its commander decides to send out smaller spaceships with one man and one woman only, with the ultimate goal to rebuild humanity and to take revenge on the aliens that destroyed earth. Ultimately they succeed in this, and the humans become so advanced and powerful that they become a legend on their own and are considered as Gods by all other lifeforms in the Universe. Any ideas?
intuitively I think that the title of the book contains the words “star”, but I am not entirely sure. I have no idea who the author could be, of course.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crown of Infinity (1968) by John M. Faucette.

Much as you say, humanity ends up so powerful they're considered as Gods by other lifeforms - they take on the name of Star Kings.

Another Terra Uber Alles story is in the book "With Friends Like These..." by Alan Dean Foster.
