The rest of the time passed peacefully.
The wasteland planet has been basically cleared, and the remaining dangerous areas are beyond the reach of the new lords.
Apart from Ye Chen, no one can attack a Tier 6 creature. Even Tier 5 dark creatures are beyond the capabilities of the current new lords.
Even if Ye Chen had Oros, it would be impossible for him to reclaim this entire wasteland planet.
Two weeks later, apart from the level 5 and even level 6 dark creatures, the rest had been completely wiped out, and many new lords began to leave one after another.
"Brother Chen, it's time to come back. The second high tide is coming soon, and we've discovered another strange wasteland planet! The other lords have already headed there!" The fat man sent a message from outside the planet via his wristband.
It was only then that Ye Chen realized that he had been in the trial world for almost two months without realizing it. However, they had gained a lot in the past two weeks on the wasteland planet.
Jian Mengyi has collected all the high-level spirit orbs and is just waiting for the territory to expand so she can set up the Five Elements Cycle Formation.
In addition, the various buildings and facilities in their territory have been gradually improved, and they are basically able to be self-sufficient in all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Of course, this only means being full; it's still very difficult to accelerate the growth of the clan through food alone.
Next, there's the number of familiars. Jian Mengyi already has over a hundred angels, and Ye Chen's side also has over a hundred Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves and Fire Crows.
With nearly fifty Moon Goddesses in number, plus hundreds of Tier 3 skeletons, and twenty Black Birds and Three-Legged Golden Crows that have completed their first stage of growth, the overall combat strength has undergone a dramatic change.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree to recruit special races; so far, it has only managed to summon one three-legged golden crow.
Ye Chen hadn't even seen a glimpse of the black bird, phoenix, vermilion bird, and blue luan bird that he so desperately wanted.
Recruiting special races on the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree is far more difficult than recruiting those on the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree. Of course, as can be seen from the Three-Legged Golden Crow, these birds are also far stronger than Yue'e.
Having only completed the first stage of growth, the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Black Bird have already broken through to the fourth rank, and judging from their attributes, they seem to be even stronger than Ye Xi and the others who have completed the second stage of growth.
"A strange wasteland planet? What's going on?" Ye Chen asked, stunned.
“That wasteland planet doesn’t seem to have completely fallen. Although there is no intelligent life on it, the planet seems to still have a chance of survival, and there may be a possibility of it being saved!” Simeng said from the side.
"A wasteland planet with life?" the two exclaimed in surprise. Such a planet is rare even in the dark world, which means that the planet's will has a tenacious resistance and is struggling to make a final stand against the darkness.
"That's right, what are the benefits of saving a planet like this? I don't need to explain, do I?"
"This is not just a reward for fighting against darkness. The planet's will itself will bestow a lot of rewards, and it's even possible to become a lord's subordinate planet. But how could such a planet appear in the trial world?" Jian Mengyi asked in confusion, her shock still indescribable.
"That's right. As for why this planet appeared in the Trial World, we don't know either, but since it has appeared, we can't just miss it, can we?"
"You're right, we'll come back now!"
After hanging up the communication, the two quickly arranged for their clansmen to start packing. In less than half an hour, both sides had finished packing. As the energy from the burning magic crystals burst forth, the two territories soared into the sky and flew towards the outer reaches of the planet.
“Woo~~~” Standing at the edge of his territory, Oros looked at the gray and receding planet and couldn’t help but let out a low groan.
This is the planet that gave him birth and nurtured him, a place containing all his memories. Now, it is finally time for him to leave.
"I'm sorry, Oros, the will of this planet is dead. But before I leave the trial world, I will come back one more time to try to see if I can revive it," Ye Chen said apologetically as he approached him.
Saving a planet is no easy task, and a revived planet is no longer the same as the original one.
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to see it again!” Oros shook his head, his voice filled with sorrow.
"You say you can bring it back to life?" Oros asked.
"Not really. It banished the darkness and allowed the planet to return to normal. Without the lord's intervention, it might have remained just a shooting star in the universe forever, or perhaps life would have been reborn after countless years! Who can say for sure!" Ye Chen shrugged, his tone slightly wistful. The power of nature is unpredictable; even the gods cannot fully control it.
"So, the planet Kalan back then wasn't the same planet as before, right? Just like me now!" Oros laughed self-deprecatingly.
This time, Ye Chen remained silent. Oros was right, even more so. Back then, the planet Kalan seemed to have gone through a cycle of reincarnation, and was now a completely new planet.
"If possible, bring it with you after you revive it. I'm sure your lord has a way to bring it back to life!" Oros turned and walked toward his residence, his voice echoing in Ye Chen's ears.
"I will do my best!" Ye Chen replied softly, his words already drowned out by the fierce wind around him. Oros paused for a moment, then continued forward.
"I wonder if this is your good fortune or your misfortune?" Ye Chen murmured to himself as he watched the planet Kalan gradually disappear into the distance.
Watching your planet perish, becoming the sole survivor, yet powerless to stop its demise, unable even to seek revenge—such helplessness is enough to break anyone.
But far too many things like this happen in the darkness, and no one knows whether their planet will be the next target of a dark invasion.
No one knew whether their lords could withstand the encroachment of darkness. All they could do was struggle in this darkness and ignite the spark of hope for those who came after them.
He raised his right hand, and a wisp of flame ignited. It was the spark of hope in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness, and the foundation for him to become a lord.
Looking at this wisp of flame, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused. Was the Lord truly the hope of all the heavens and worlds? Could he really defeat the darkness?
"Chirp~~~" A series of chirps came from behind, the calls of the three-legged golden crow and the black birds, accompanied by an indescribable warmth.
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the many clansmen behind him, silently putting away the flames in his palm.
"I don't know if the gods can do it, but I believe that all the races of the primordial world will surely be able to carve out a bright and clear world!"
