The next morning, after everyone had finished packing and tidying up, Si Meng finally returned. Seeing the newly renovated territory, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Let's go. It'll take about a day or two to get there from here in 323 weeks. But Ye Chen, flying through your territory must consume a lot of energy, right? Hahaha!" Si Meng laughed as she looked at Ye Chen's territory.
With a territory spanning over 3,000 acres, the energy required for flight is enormous, which is the main reason why many lords outside don't easily move their territories.
"It's alright, it's acceptable for now!" Ye Chen shrugged. This was an inevitable problem to face, there was nothing to worry about. Compared to the Great Lords' movements involving several planets or even an entire star system, this energy consumption was nothing.
"Hehe, let's go then!" Si Meng laughed. With a roar, the group left this most prosperous star system and flew towards the notoriously dangerous place in the trial space.
Although the two star systems are very close, that's only in terms of star system distance. In terms of travel time, it would take at least one or two days. Such interstellar travel is very tedious. It will only get better later when space travel is possible, but that also means greater energy consumption.
In essence, wars between lords boil down to two types: clashes of high-end combat power and energy wars.
Only with enough energy can the darkness be purified, and only with sufficiently powerful cutting-edge combat capabilities can the invincible enemies in the darkness be defeated.
Fortunately, Ye Chen already possessed the peak 6th rank Oros, which gave them some confidence in the eyes of the great lords. If Oros could break through to the 7th rank, the entire situation would be rewritten, and the 7th rank would be an existence that no force could ignore.
A 7th-tier kin is in a position no lower than some less powerful lords, and only lords of equal rank have the right to speak with them.
A large amount of magic crystals burned freely, and Ye Chen's territory slowly followed behind the group, flying towards the 323 star system.
As the group approached the 323 star system, they encountered more and more dark creatures along the way, and often witnessed battles between lords and these creatures.
The Dark Origin has never been a blessed land; it is a truly dangerous place, a place where even lords may perish.
Fortunately, the group was strong enough that Ye Chen and his group didn't even have to lift a finger. The fat man's war puppets were enough to handle the situation, and they didn't even have to use their real combat power.
"We're about to enter the 323 star system. After that, things won't be as peaceful as they are now!" Si Meng said, looking at the map.
"Isn't that inevitable? We didn't come here to play around!" Ye Chen shrugged and stood up, clearly ready for battle.
As the group officially entered the 323 star system, a large number of battles ensued.
Here, wars between lords and dark creatures are a common sight. Most lords even enter in teams to fight against the terrifying number of dark creatures here.
After all, anyone would get tired when faced with a massive human wave tactic, and even a prodigy lord would not be able to withstand it.
"Fatty! It's up to you and Simeng now. Consider this a chance for you to practice!" Ye Chen said to Fatty with a smile. He and Simeng were quite strong fighters, but they usually spent their time on Duobao Trading Network and didn't have many opportunities to fight. Their clan also needed some battles to hone their skills.
"Alright, don't worry about it, leave it to us!" the fat man said, patting his chest. His goblin armored squad had already been deployed. There were only a few hundred of them, but protecting the four people's territory was a piece of cake. Only Ye Chen's territory would be a bit more troublesome, since it was so big!
"Boom~~~" A large number of cannon shots rang out, and the dark creatures that were gathering towards the four people's territory were all blasted into ashes under the cannon fire. No one could withstand the damage from the cannons. If anyone could, then another shot would be fired.
On the other side, Si Meng's elf race also made a move. Like Ye Chen's Silver Moon Elves, they mainly used bows and magic. However, more than half a year had passed, and her familiars had basically grown to the 3rd rank or above, with even a few 4th rank individuals. As long as they did not enter the Dark Origin Land, fighting in such an outer star system was still quite easy.
If we define lords like Ye Chen, who are ahead of everyone else, as the first tier of lords, then lords like Jian Mengyi, who are exceptionally talented, are called the second tier.
They possess the power to roam freely within the trial space, and can go almost anywhere unless they encounter terrifying high-level dark creatures.
In contrast, conventional race lords like Si Meng belong to the third tier. They possess the ability to protect themselves, but that's all they can do. If they could obtain some rare items, they might have the potential to soar to great heights, and there are even those who surpass the prodigy lords. This kind of power carries the core of the entire lord class.
Even though the number of race lords is not the largest, as time goes by, these conventional races have become the largest number of followers under all lords, which is the result of natural selection.
As for the fourth tier, those are weak races like the Fat Man, who can only become laborers for other lords, performing auxiliary tasks and seeking their protection.
However, few of these lords were able to leave the trial space, let alone truly develop their own power. Therefore, these numerous clans did not become the mainstream races outside, but were merely passed down as a bloodline.
"Kill!!" the fat man shouted excitedly. All around, cannons were flying. His war was a war of money. Every cannon shot meant a huge loss of money, which pained Ye Chen.
Fortunately, the results were significant. The goblins, who were originally only at the second tier, now possessed the strength to contend with the fourth tier dark creatures. Facing these second and third tier dark creatures, they faced no pressure whatsoever and easily advanced the battle line.
Soon, the group approached the spatial rift at the source of darkness. By this point, there were not many lords still fighting. Those who could enter were mostly teams with a prodigy lord present; otherwise, no matter how many people there were, they would not be able to fight against those high-level dark creatures.
If it weren't for Fatty's sufficient firepower, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi would also have been prepared to take action. However, since they had a way to fight that saved them energy, they might as well spend the money.
The group, experiencing both pain and pleasure, charged into the Dark Origin amidst the envious gazes of many lords.
