"A divine projection?" Ye Chen was taken aback. This kind of thing was rare, even extremely rare.
Divine energy is merely the energy left behind by the gods, but divine projection is the consciousness left behind by the gods, containing the will of the gods, and may even be a backup plan left by the gods.
Moreover, there are many ways to project a god's image, and there may even be remnants of a god's soul inside. Some powerful gods may even be resurrected through these remnants of a soul, but this is extremely difficult.
"Yes, one of the lords rushed in first, but a phantom of a god flew out of the temple and instantly killed them!"
"..."
This is truly a projection of a god! This is not something a group of new lords can contend with, and even a 6th-tier Oros might not be a match for it.
"Well, you guys bring your communication equipment, let's take a look and then decide!" Ye Chen said somewhat awkwardly, he was also a little scared of this thing.
"Yes, sir!" Ye Xi nodded and led a group of Silver Moon Elf sprites over again.
Looking at the images projected onto the screen, Ye Chen sighed inwardly. The three-legged golden crow's attack had ultimately exposed his location, causing many nearby lords to focus their attention on his surroundings.
It's much easier to head directly toward a clear goal than to grope aimlessly in the dark.
Many people have probably seen the location of the temple, as well as the mountain range that spans the northwest and south sides; there must be much more to it.
"I've heard about what happened. Are you really planning to take action against the divine projection?" Jian Mengyi walked over and asked Ye Chen with a hint of worry.
"No, we're just going to take a look. After all, there are quite a few other lords around. We need to figure out how many enemies are around us, right?" Ye Chen shrugged and said casually.
If it were a high-ranking, officially recognized lord, they might be able to nod their heads at the projection of the god, but this group of new lords basically only have the role of being sent to feed.
"Then I'll sit and watch with you!" Jian Mengyi looked at him for a while, then moved a small stool over and sat down next to him, refusing to leave.
She knew very well that Ye Chen desperately needed divine matter and would absolutely not be willing to give up this temple easily.
Everyone else is grateful to the gods and holds them in awe, but he is the only one who thinks about how to raid the gods' lair every day. How did this kind of thinking ignite the spark of hope?
"Alright!" Ye Chen shrugged. He wasn't planning on taking action anyway, so it would be good to have someone to talk to.
Ye Xi and the others moved swiftly through the darkness. This time, all the elves who came were high-level elves with considerable strength. Even Ye Ling and Hou were in the group, making them the strongest force in Ye Chen's territory.
Soon, the group entered the mountains. However, the distance to the temple was clearly beyond Ye Chen's expectations. They ran for most of the day before finally arriving at the vicinity of the temple.
"This distance? It must be over a hundred kilometers away, right?" Ye Chen calculated in his mind. This distance was much farther than he had imagined.
“Yes, you instructed us to explore in this direction, so this became our top priority. As a result, we discovered the temple relatively early. However, other lords' territories seem to be closer to here, so they arrived even earlier!” Ye Xi replied, pointing to a spot in the darkness where a group of dragonmen were lying.
"Dragonkin? A vassal race of dragons, with both human and dragon blood. They are slightly stronger than elves, but their racial weaknesses are quite obvious, making them weaker overall." Jian Mengyi immediately recited the information about dragonkin. They had learned about some common races in their textbooks.
"Yes, they inherited the dragons' low fertility and the humans' short lifespan. It's a race with two negatives making a negative!" Ye Chen nodded, looking at the dragon-people in the picture with regret.
"You can't say that. After all, they inherited part of the dragon's power, giving them strength far exceeding that of other races. And occasionally, some lucky ones inherit the dragon's long lifespan, which is a real leap forward!" Jian Mengyi chuckled.
If dragon people can inherit the lifespan of dragons, they will eventually combine the advantages of humans and dragons, possessing endless potential and rapidly growing wisdom, and may even become beings comparable to gods.
"Too few, such a low-probability event is a once-in-a-century occurrence!" Ye Chen shrugged, not taking the matter to heart. The dragon-man in the picture seemed eager to try and was preparing to attack the temple.
"Are there any other races around?" Ye Chen asked, ignoring the dragon people.
“Yes, when we came here last time, the ones attacking the temple were a group of kobolds! We also found traces of goat-headed people!” Ye Xi replied.
"A sheep-headed man?" Jian Mengyi was taken aback.
This is not a common race; it belongs to the demon race and is extremely prone to corrupting people. They generally do not become the kin of a new lord unless that lord happens to gain the favor of a demon god.
"Yes, they are a race with goat heads and human bodies, and their aura is very powerful!" Ye Xi nodded.
“It’s normal for his aura to be so strong. He’s a powerful figure from the demon race, a demon king from hell, whose strength is comparable to a dragon!” Ye Chen said calmly, though he shared the same confusion as Jian Mengyi.
"Those dragon people have made their move!" Jian Mengyi suddenly exclaimed. The dragon people in the scene burst out from the mountain crevices and rushed towards the temple that emitted a faint light.
"One, two, three, four, five! What a move! Sending out five dragonmen at once. Losing them here would be a huge loss!" Ye Chen said, looking at the group of dragonmen.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than one of the dragonmen seemed to have tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Not only did he trip his companions behind him, but in the ensuing scuffle, he also caught the clothes of the companion in front of him. Instantly, all five of them collapsed like tarot cards.
"Hahahaha! They're hilarious! And this is supposed to be a high-ranking clan that surpasses the elves?" Jian Mengyi burst into laughter, pointing at the disheveled dragons in the scene and shouting.
"It's the planet's will rebelling. Not all lords have four-leaf clovers!" Ye Chen laughed for a while, but still gave an explanation.
Falling down when going out, slipping into pits while walking... The planet's will cannot directly expel the invaders who descend upon the planet, so it can only resort to such methods to drive them away. If all else fails, it can only resort to things like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
"Hahaha! Well, thank goodness we got the four-leaf clover!" Jian Mengyi laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Fortunately, the dragon people in the picture finally regrouped and this time they cautiously made their way towards the temple one by one!
