This time, Oros neither refused nor made a fuss, and obediently followed Ye Xi to rest in the territory.
Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. The matter of the Bone Dragon was finally over. Next up were the Inheritance Stele and that building.
"The matter of the stone tablet and the temple can't be rushed. Anyway, we've already moved the territory here. Let's rest well first, and we'll arrange for our clans to investigate tomorrow!" Ye Chen thought for a moment and said to Jian Mengyi, who was not far away.
That divine building is most likely a temple or similar structure. Such buildings are very common in theocratic worlds, serving as places for gods to spread their doctrines and gather faith, as well as places of worship for believers.
“Okay!” Jian Mengyi nodded. She had no objections to this. Being able to subdue the bone dragon was already the biggest gain. As for the inheritance stone tablet and special buildings, their value in the trial world might not even be comparable to that of a 6th-tier bone dragon.
Although he was resting, Ye Chen didn't idle around. The landmen who hadn't gone out before went deeper underground to try to get the stone tablet out, or at least get his hands on the obsidian chain.
This thing is extremely sturdy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a Tier 7 material. I really don't know how the little guy's urine managed to corrode it.
But one can imagine that if it could be used to create an obsidian golem, even the little guy would be unable to handle it. The obsidian golem at that time would not be corroded by a single pee.
In addition, two land workers were sent to clear the sand and gravel around the building, to present it as completely as possible, so as to facilitate tomorrow's exploration.
Back in his territory, Ye Chen saw Ye Xi and the others communicating with Oros, as well as Hou sleeping soundly in her arms. Only then did Ye Chen realize that Hou had eaten so many dark creatures, and he wondered if there had been any changes in Hou's body. He immediately checked Hou's attributes.
Everything else remained unchanged, except for the constitution and strength attributes, which each increased by about 10 points. In addition, the biggest progress was in its growth rate.
The first stage of growth, which originally took two weeks to complete, is almost over in just one day. Hou will be able to begin its first advancement in about one more day.
"I wonder if it can reach level 4 in one go? If it can, that would be incredibly powerful! Its growth potential is simply immeasurable!" Ye Chen thought to himself.
Even divine races like Titans and angels cannot reach level 4 on their first advancement. If Hou can really do it, wouldn't that mean its growth potential is even stronger than that of a god?
"But the Hou is a mythical beast from the primordial era, feeding on dragon brains, so it's normal for it to be a bit stronger," Ye Chen consoled himself.
After glancing at Oros, who was still focused on learning the language, Ye Chen didn't disturb him and went back to the lord's manor to rest.
Today's harvest was considerable; I even obtained another high-level spirit orb from the dark treasure chest later on. Unfortunately, this spirit orb's attribute was wood, which I already had, so I could only give it to Jian Mengyi.
Including the high-grade earth spirit bead he obtained today, he now only needs one more gold spirit bead to complete the set of five elemental spirit beads, which will allow him to set up the five-elemental cycle array.
"Intermediate Wood Spirit Orb, Intermediate Fire Spirit Orb, hmm? Intermediate Lightning Spirit Orb? These are rare items! I'll keep them for now!"
"Huh? A faith stone? The faith power inside isn't low either. It seems there are divine items nearby, otherwise it would be quite difficult to get something like this from a dark treasure chest!"
"Hiss... This is a Tier 5 spellbook, right? Bella is so lucky! She should also tell Ye Ling to relinquish the positions of priestess, guardian, and high elementalist in the clan as soon as possible!"
"A special building blueprint for a training tower? It can accelerate the growth of a clan? That's good, but the energy consumption is probably a bit too high!"
"The Lord of Radiant Sun's Mansion? Good stuff, it can be given to Mengyi, since her angel is of the Light attribute!"
...
Hiding in the lord's manor, Ye Chen excitedly sorted through today's spoils.
It has to be said that the rewards on the wasteland planet are really generous. The rewards from just one ravine are almost equal to the total amount he earned in the past month.
Suddenly feeling the utter boredom of the outside world, he even considered staying on this wasteland planet for a long time, since this was a common occurrence outside.
However, it was just a thought. The Trial World was blessed by the gods and had many good things. It would be a waste to leave them on a wasteland planet.
Moreover, as time goes on, such wasteland planets will appear in large numbers towards the end of the trial, and they will not be as rare as they are now.
"It is said that if one can truly save a wasteland planet and bring it back to life, the lord will receive unimaginable rewards. I wonder if it's true or not?" Thinking of the desolation on the outer planets, Ye Chen couldn't help but recall a line from the book.
However, such things are extremely rare. They are so rare that textbooks only mention them briefly, and even when Ye Chen asked, no teacher could answer him.
It's important to know that those who can serve as teachers are all genuine Awakened Ones. Although they are not lords, they have fought countless battles in the dark world before choosing to return to Earth to teach.
Yet none of them had ever heard of saving the wasteland planet, not even the lord mentors who later gave training courses to the new lords.
"Forget it, this kind of thing is too unrealistic. I'll talk about it if I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity!" Ye Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, packed his things, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Unlike other lords who raced against time and worked themselves to the bone exploring the wasteland planet, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi, along with their families, slept comfortably through the night and finally arrived at the gates of the divine building the next day.
"I had the local earth god check on the stone tablet below, but it still can't be removed. However, its divine power is weakening, so it should be able to be removed in about three days to a week!" Ye Chen said, looking at Jian Mengyi beside him.
The stone tablet was meant to imprison the dragon, but now that Oros has escaped, it has lost its purpose. The divinity within it will gradually diminish, and it will no longer be able to connect the entire land.
As for the obsidian chain, Hou can accompany the land deities to retrieve it later. Hou's urine can corrode obsidian, so retrieving the chain won't be a problem.
"Okay, no rush! We're going to be here for a while anyway." Jian Mengyi smiled. The things were right in front of her, so there was no need to rush.
