As Ye Chen moved, a transparent halo spread outwards from the refresh stone in his hand.
Everyone looked around with anticipation. This was a once-in-a-century event—the Refresh Stone! How many people could have witnessed such a spectacular scene?
"Thump!" Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, as if everything around them had stopped, and they had all entered a space without time, or as if some kind of substance was flowing through it.
Then, everyone felt a rapid reversal of time at a certain moment. The ruins on Kalan faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon a lush green land and a vast ocean appeared.
Various creatures fly by on the planet from time to time, but they all disappear in a flash.
Ye Chen and the others saw whales in the deep sea, or giant dragons soaring in the sky.
Oros's eyes held a hint of nostalgia, and its long neck jutted forward slightly, as if that was a familiar companion.
But everyone knows that this is just a projection in the long river of time, fleeting and untouchable in the reversal of time.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, yet also in the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, Ye Chen seemed to witness the rise and fall of the entire planet Kalan, the rise of countless powerful empires and races, and their decline in the competition of natural selection.
Eventually, the entire planet returned to peace, leaving only a desolate land and an endless ocean.
"It's over!" Ye Chen said, sensing the receding of the surrounding time energy.
The power of the Refresh Stone had ended, the transparent diamond in his hand had turned to dust, and the entire planet Kalan had returned to its former barbaric state.
"It looks barren, yet it's full of life. Is this the original planet Kalan?" Oros said excitedly but restrainedly, his voice trembling slightly. Kalan, the planet that gave birth to him and nurtured him, has finally come back to life.
"It should be right, but we need to hurry, otherwise this newborn planet will probably be swallowed up by dark energy again!" Ye Chen shrugged, raised his hand to summon his Seed of Hope, and began to resonate with the planet Kalan.
"You're right, everyone follow me!" Oros snapped out of his daze and shouted to the people around him. Then, he stomped down heavily with his thick hind legs, and a crack spread across the ground of Kalan Star, rapidly extending forward.
Ye Chen needs to comprehend and resonate with the unborn planetary will of Kalan, while Oros and the others need to find the core of Kalan and take control of it.
All the land and mountain gods set out, joining Oros in exploring the depths of the earth to a newly born planet, whose core lay hidden there.
Ye Xi and the others protected Ye Chen, preventing anyone from interfering with his actions.
At this time, the planet Kalan had not yet developed a planetary will; it only possessed a vague consciousness. What Ye Chen needed to do was to devour and merge this consciousness, making his own will the will of the entire planet Kalan.
This process is not easy. Even a vague consciousness is the consciousness of a planet, while Ye Chen is just a new lord who is not even a formal lord yet.
The fusion of planetary consciousness was not greatly hindered, after all, it was he who gave the planet a new life and purified all the darkness.
The planet itself was grateful to him, and the vague consciousness didn't know what Ye Chen was doing, only that he was communicating with it in a conscious way.
At this moment, the planetary consciousness of Kalan was like a newborn baby, blank as a sheet of paper, allowing him to carve it as he pleased.
Meanwhile, Oros and his companions also made great progress. With the help of the land and mountain gods, they easily reached the depths of the planet and entered a land of lava.
Only then did they truly encounter trouble. The temperature of the planet's lava was terrifying, and the landforms could no longer offer any assistance. Only Oros and the Three-Legged Golden Crow were able to continue deeper.
Even at the true core of the planet, the source of its energy, even Oros could not stay for long; only the three-legged golden crow could stand there.
This forced everyone to slow down their search, leaving only Oros and the Three-Legged Golden Crow to search for the planet's core.
They searched for most of the day, and even after Ye Chen merged with the planet's consciousness, they still hadn't returned.
Fortunately, it was finally found. When Oros, his body burning red, delivered the planet's core to Ye Chen, the planet that should have died was finally completely in his hands.
"Ready?" Ye Chen looked at everyone and directly threw the planetary core of Kalan into the Seed of Hope.
"Boom~~~" In an instant, the entire planet Kalan trembled violently, and the Seed of Hope in Ye Chen's hand began to sway precariously.
For a new lord like him to try and merge with a planet is simply too much of a stretch.
Just like throwing a lot of fuel into a small flame, it won't make the flame burn brighter; instead, it will extinguish it.
Ye Chen is currently in this situation. The suddenly appearing massive planetary core cannot be integrated into him, and the spark of hope is teetering on the brink of collapse under immense pressure. All he can do is persevere and try to extinguish the spark.
This process was extremely long, and throughout it, the planet Kalan trembled constantly, as if someone wanted to control its life and death, and it was the planet's instinctive resistance.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons... all sorts of natural disasters occurred on the planet Kalan. Countless mountains collapsed and terrifying tsunamis swept in. Before long, the entire surface of Kalan was completely unrecognizable, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like when it was newly born.
All these natural disasters were stopped by Oros and his group, and did not affect Ye Chen in the slightest. With his strength reaching level 5 or even level 5, these ordinary natural disasters could no longer pose a threat to him.
This fusion and control took Ye Chen three whole days. When the entire planet Kalan finally calmed down, he was completely exhausted, but his gaze towards Kalan was unusually excited.
Even after many setbacks, and even when the flame of hope was almost extinguished, they ultimately succeeded.
This entire planet was completely transformed into his territory, and he became the first lord in history to own a planet as a new lord.
"When I get out, I'm sure I'll shock a lot of people," Ye Chen thought expectantly, then slumped back and fell into a deep sleep.
This integration has taken a toll on his mind and energy; he needs a good rest.
When he wakes up, it will be the moment they leave the trial space and become official lords.
