Everything was quiet until the dragons had reached the temple's entrance. The entire temple remained silent and still.
The dragonman at the front looked back at his companions, carefully extended his right hand, and slowly pushed it towards the gate.
"Huh?" He pushed hard, but found that the door wouldn't open. The dragonman was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, got into position, and pushed hard with both hands.
"Boom~~~ Boom~~~" The heavy door was finally slowly pushed open, its sound particularly jarring in the dark silence.
As the door was pushed open, a ray of golden light escaped from the crack, illuminating the darkness in front of the door and the body of the dragon-man.
However, the dragon people standing in front of the gate couldn't help but tremble. The divine power emanating from the temple along with the golden light made them dare not act recklessly.
"Who dares to trespass into my temple?" A majestic voice came from within the temple. Ye Chen could not understand the language, but he could understand the meaning. This was the power of a god.
"Boom~~~" With the sound, a huge force rushed out of the temple, and several dragonmen blocking the door were blown away. At the same time, the door, which was not fully open, was slowly opening even without anyone pushing it.
"What is this?" Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi's pupils shrank slightly as they looked at the scene inside the temple. A tall man stood in the temple, his majestic gaze sweeping over the dragon people in front of him.
"A bunch of shameless thieves!" Seemingly seeing through the true nature of the dragonmen, the man shouted angrily, his longsword sweeping out, a beam of holy light passing over the dragonmen.
Without painful roars or fearless struggles, as the holy light swept across, all the dragonmen vanished from each other's sight.
"So powerful!" Jian Mengyi covered her mouth, the sword swept away the level 3 dragonman with a single strike, leaving not even ashes behind. This kind of strength was simply terrifying.
"After all, it's a projection of a god, and it still contains a trace of divine power. It's not surprising that it can achieve this level!" Ye Chen said solemnly.
Unfortunately, due to the great distance, he couldn't tell whether the other party was just a projection or a remnant soul. The two looked very similar, but the difference in strength was worlds apart.
The man stared into the darkness for a while, his gaze sweeping around. Ye Chen felt that the lords' families lurking nearby should have been discovered.
This time, however, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he focused his gaze on the direction where Ye Xi and the others were hiding, seemingly pondering the temple.
"Try showing your face! But be careful!" Ye Chen thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
“Okay!” Ye Xi nodded, stood up from her hiding place alone, and carefully took a few steps forward. Although she did not get close to the temple, it was enough for the man to see her clearly.
At the same time, not only the divine projection in the temple saw Ye Xi, but also the lords and their families who were hiding around. Everyone was wondering why Ye Xi suddenly stepped forward.
"You... are different from them. Are you here to save this planet?" The divine projection looked at her for a while before slowly asking.
"I'm sorry, I don't know if I can save this planet, but I believe that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor can!" Ye Xi said after thinking for a moment.
She stepped forward entirely at Ye Chen's behest. She didn't know why she received such drastically different treatment, but it must all be related to her lord.
"Named after the Heavenly Emperor? Hahaha!" The divine projection paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. The name Heavenly Emperor was not something just anyone could use. Just from this title, one could see the other party's ambition and confidence.
"My name is Mitchell, the god of light and dawn of the planet Woolf. Unfortunately, only a wisp of my soul remains here, and I fear I will never have the chance to see the face of the Heavenly Emperor!" The divine projection said with a hint of regret, then looked at Ye Xi.
“Since you have gained the approval of the planet’s will, you have naturally come to save the planet Woolf. I wonder if you have encountered any difficulties upon arriving at my temple, Mitchell’s temple? I will do my utmost to help you as much as I can!” Mitchell continued.
Clearly, he had some understanding of the planet's situation, and he also let Ye Chen know that what remained here was not just a projection, but a wisp of divine remnant soul, which made all the difference.
The projection is merely the will left behind by the god, while the remnant soul carries the god's thoughts and abilities. The one standing before Ye Xi at this moment can be said to be a true god.
Ye Xi paused for a moment, then walked towards the temple instead of replying immediately. He stopped in front of the temple and manipulated the wristband. Suddenly, projections of Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi appeared in front of Mitchell.
"Greetings! Respected Goddess of Light and Dawn! I am her lord, Ye Chen!" Ye Chen introduced himself respectfully.
Even if this is just a remnant of Mitchell's soul, it would still be easy to kill him from a distance of a hundred miles. We should maintain due respect for the gods, after all, it was the gods who lit the flame of hope for him.
"The Heavenly Emperor?" Mitchell smiled as he looked at Ye Chen.
"This, the future Heavenly Emperor!" Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, but didn't shy away from it; one must always have a goal.
Moreover, Ye Xi and the others, as members of a clan, have already spread this name. As their leader, he can't just back down, can he?
"Hahaha, great! I look forward to that day!" Mitchell laughed loudly. "Tell me, what brings you here?"
"Uh, well... I just happened to be passing by and saw it! I wanted to learn some information about this planet!" Ye Chen shrugged. He couldn't very well say that he came for the divine power, could he? He'd probably be slapped to death the next second.
"Information about this planet?" Mitchell nodded. "As outsiders, you certainly don't know much about this planet. However, it's not appropriate for us to stand at the door and talk, as it would greatly deplete my soul. Why don't we come inside and talk?"
As Mitchell spoke, he gestured for Ye Xi and Ye Chen to come in, but looking at the divine radiance filling the room, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I'm using a communication device to talk to you. The divinity in the temple is too strong and it will interfere with the device's signal. Why don't you have Ye Xi bring your temple to my territory? That way, we can prevent the temple from being swallowed by darkness!"
It is absolutely impossible for the gods to enter the temple in their true form. Although the gods are fighting on the front line against darkness, no one can guarantee that all the gods are good.
At the same time, Ye Chen also wanted to try to see if he could bring back a god to his territory.
Even a remnant soul will do!
