He could accept the other party's desire to hitch a ride, and even offer them a reward, but now the other party is after the entire planet. How is this any different from falling into darkness?
"I'm talking nonsense? Really? You dare say you haven't plotted against this planet? This is the Temple of Light, you know, lying will be detected!" Ye Chen said, glancing at Mitchell, whose eyes were already flashing with a dangerous light.
However, Ye Chen's words didn't stop there; he continued to deliver a heavy blow.
"Moreover, it might not be that bad. Darkness has corrupted you. Even if you manage to survive, the spark of hope will be extinguished. If you want to become lords again, you must rekindle that spark."
“But how easy is it to ignite the flame of hope? It is a blessing from the gods! So you have set your sights on the remaining gods on the planet Woolf, hoping to use their power to rekindle the flame of hope for yourselves.”
"But you probably haven't considered how much power it would take to ignite the flame of hope, have you? Planet Woolf isn't a particularly powerful planet. To reignite your flame of hope, you would probably have to devour the power of an entire god. I'm afraid all the gods on Planet Woolf have already fallen into your trap!"
"Insolence!" As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Mitchell roared, his eyes filled with rage as he looked at the man in black robes and the others, as if he could kill them in the next instant.
As the vast divine power swept over, the hoods of the group were blown open one after another, revealing the faces of three skeletons and two mummies. Just as Ye Chen had said before, these had all been forced to become undead creatures.
"As expected, they are undead creatures, a bunch of scum who can't see the light!" Mitchell said angrily, making no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes as he already disliked undead creatures.
“Lord Mitchell, please calm down! They are slandering us! Only by getting rid of us will you fully assist him, and only then can he reap enough benefits in the process of saving the planet!” Several men in black robes said tremblingly. They did not expect Mitchell to suddenly become angry. The power of the gods is not something that a new lord can contend with.
“Yes, Lord Mitchell, we do hope to retain our lordship, but we don’t need to divide up the entire planet of Woolf. All we need is a little divine power to reignite our divine fire, and then give us a small piece of land! It won’t have any impact on the entire planet of Woolf!” another black-robed man said.
“That’s more like it. Let’s all talk openly and honestly, and let’s not try to fool anyone, right?” Ye Chen said before Mitchell could speak.
Everyone turned to look and saw that Ye Chen had somehow brought out a chair and was sitting there calmly, looking at them with a smile.
Seeing this, what else could Mitchell not understand? The other party was making their intentions clear, conducting a transaction with a fixed price, without any unnecessary twists and turns.
He was somewhat grateful for this, after all, it was better to be upfront than to keep it a secret, and in the end, only he and their planet Woolf would be the ones to be tricked.
For Mitchell, nothing is more important than saving the planet, and he's willing to pay any price for it, but that doesn't mean he'll allow others to treat him like a fool.
"And what about you! We've already stated our purpose. What about yours? For you, saving Planet Woolf isn't even something you absolutely have to do, is it?" A man in black robes said coldly upon hearing Ye Chen's words. The group now hated Ye Chen to death.
They could have obtained the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, and even gained the other party's gratitude. Now, it has inexplicably become a transaction, and their benefits will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, for them, Mitchell was just a breakthrough point. There was more than one god on the planet Woolf, and they had made multiple preparations.
"Me? My purpose is simple: the authority to kill high-level dark creatures, the purification of dark energy, and divine power that does not affect the very essence of you gods!" Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
The authority to kill high-level dark creatures and the purification of dark energy were not considered rewards by Mitchell, so Ye Chen's only need was divine power.
"This? Is this all you want?" Mitchell asked uncertainly. Having been ambushed by the men in black robes, he could hardly believe such a deal. For him, being able to save this planet was worth it, even if it meant giving up his divine power.
“Of course, this is enough. You can ask them if these things are the best reward for the lord,” Ye Chen said, gesturing to the black-robed man opposite him.
Mitchell looked at the group and saw that none of the five undead had made a sound. He immediately realized that Ye Chen had not lied; all he really needed was this.
"Of course, our abilities are insufficient to kill high-level dark creatures. We may need the help of you remnants of divine souls, which will also be a drain on your own power."
"However, given the current strength of the new lords, it is estimated that no one can completely eradicate all the dark creatures on the planet. Whether you can truly save this planet still depends on yourselves."
"Otherwise, with dark creatures attracting dark energy, the dark energy on this planet will never be completely purified!"
Ye Chen continued, "The dark creatures on Planet Karan have already reached the fifth or sixth rank. On this obviously more advanced Planet Woolf, the dark creatures will only be stronger."
“Of course, we are already very grateful that you came to help. If it is just the dark creatures that exist on the planet, our remaining souls are enough!” Mitchell nodded gratefully.
Compared to the man in black robes, Ye Chen, who had made everything clear, was clearly someone he was more grateful to.
"As for you, although I don't know how much divine power you need to rekindle the flame of hope, if it can truly save Planet Woolf, I, Mitchell, am willing to give it a try. I might even give you a small piece of land on the planet as your territory. Of course, this place won't be too big!" Mitchell turned to the men in black robes and continued.
His true body is dead, and the remnant soul he leaves behind obviously cannot last long. It would be better to use this last bit of power to make a contribution to the planet Woolf.
"We are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness and magnanimity, and we will do our utmost to save Planet Woolf!" the man in black said through gritted teeth. They had already seen Woolf's disgust and distrust of them, but now they had no choice but to agree and could only hope to find a breakthrough elsewhere.
