Ye Chen watched the golden light dissipate with a wry smile. The reward was definitely worth it, but it wouldn't be of much use to him in the short term.
He already has ten chances to load a clan's nest. Adding another nest won't make a qualitative change. It would be better to give him something else, like more clan recruitment attempts.
Compared to a clan's lair, it would be more useful to allow him to recruit more clans at once.
"Where is the lord here? Is he the new lord this year?" Just as the advancement rewards were being distributed, a voice came from outside the planet, clearly coming to question Ye Chen, and the tone was very forceful.
Ye Chen raised his head in confusion, wondering who the person was. However, he had a general idea in his mind that it was probably someone from a major power trying to recruit him.
Instead of replying immediately, he sent a message to Fatty and the others. After a while, the people outside had obviously lost patience. Many of them either rode on their mounts or took to the air, brazenly flying towards Ye Chen's planet.
Such behavior would be considered a provocation by other lords, but no one would take a new lord seriously, even if his trial results were somewhat exaggerated.
Rather than believing that Ye Chen's territory would pose a significant threat to them, they were more curious about Ye Chen's growth. Everyone was eager to know how he managed to do it, and how a new lord could possess a planet as his territory during the newcomer trial phase.
Could it be a completely new, never-before-seen lord talent? That was the thought in everyone's mind.
"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Court?" Seeing someone rushing into the planet, Ye Xi shouted and led his many relatives to rush out, ready to capture these people.
"Heavenly Court? The name of this territory? Wow! What a boastful tone!" Some lords sighed upon hearing Ye Xi's words, taking it as Ye Chen's self-amusement.
As for the group of clans rushing towards them, they didn't take them seriously at all. In half a year, even dragons and titans could only grow to the fourth rank. No matter how many mutants or geniuses they were, the fifth rank was the limit.
Although these lords were among the lowest ranks of lords, they still possessed the strength of one or two Tier 5 units, making it easy for them to suppress a new lord when they joined forces.
"Let's take down these clans first, but don't kill them. These geniuses usually have powerful backers. We're just confirming which family they belong to!" a lord said disdainfully, letting his clans charge towards Ye Xi and the others.
They were all sent by various powerful forces to poach people, and naturally assumed that a lord like Ye Chen must have powerful backers. Although he was just a newcomer, it was not good for him to be resented by them.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of getting to know people. They know the rules. There are plenty of big shots watching outside!" the lord said, glancing up at the sky.
"That's true! We're just pawns! We can't compare to such geniuses!" He shook his head with a slight sigh, glanced at the dark night sky, and his tone was full of helplessness.
However, their casual expressions turned to astonishment the moment the two armies clashed.
"Holy crap? What's going on?" a lord exclaimed in shock. The nearly one hundred members of their clansmen had been completely routed in the instant of the battle, and more than half of them had been captured in less than ten seconds.
"This? We didn't bring many people, but they shouldn't be this bad, right? I remember there were a few Tier 5 Familias among them," another person said, his face full of disbelief.
The clans that could come with them must be the elites of each lord. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they could take on ten opponents at the same level. There were even a few fifth-level beings. Yet, such a team could not even withstand a single round from the opponent.
"What a joke? I'm not mistaken, those are a variant of the Elf race, right? And there are even low-level races like Fire Ravens mixed in? How can this lineup have this kind of strength?" Many lords spoke up, and even those lords who had not yet landed in outer space showed the same surprise.
Previously, Ye Chen's clan was hidden in the mist, and was also obscured by two large trees, so no one could see them clearly.
Now that Ye Xi and the others have come out to fight, everyone has discovered that Ye Chen's clans are actually the Elf Clan and the Fire Raven Clan.
Although the former has a high-level racial branch like the Void Elves, their actual combat strength is not strong. As for the Fire Ravens, they are a beast-like clan with little strength.
Yet this very clan easily defeated the clans of many lords, a group that started at rank 4 and had many at rank 5.
"I'm stunned! Am I seeing things? It's not surprising that he could win. After all, he's the ruler of a planet. He must have something to offer. But to win so easily, even to the point of being a crushing victory, is something I never expected!" Someone outside the planet exclaimed, and others echoed his sentiments.
"Yeah, yeah! I didn't expect that either. I remember the strongest new lord was only level 5, and that still required good luck. But this guy is already crushing level 5, killing level 5 units like cutting vegetables!"
"This can only mean that his Tier 5 Familia is strong enough and has enough combat experience, and may even have already entered the late Tier 5 stage!"
"Bullshit! Which of our clans isn't experienced enough in combat? Can the combat experience of a new lord's clan compare to our main clan, which has been fighting in the Dark for decades?"
"Exactly, and whose late-stage Tier 5 clan can easily one-shot other Tier 5 clans? Let alone mid-stage, show me how you one-shot an early-stage one!"
"I……"
Many lords were discussing this, unaware that Ye Chen's clansmen were all capable of fighting beyond their level. They could already kill groups of level 4 dark creatures, and Ye Xi and Tai Shan were even stronger enough to face level 6 creatures directly.
The scene that these lords witnessed—the instant annihilation of fifth-tier clansmen—was nonetheless the sight of Mount Tai wielding the Trident of Poseidon, sweeping across the battlefield. The Thor, wielding a divine weapon, was simply no match for these ordinary fifth-tier units.
The lower-ranking lords were buzzing with discussion, while the higher-ranking lords watched everything before them thoughtfully. Compared to the shock of the lower-ranking lords, they were more surprised by Ye Chen's potential and the large number of races they had never seen before.
Leaving aside the Moon Goddess, the Earth God, and the Mountain God... even the elves and fire crows have some subtle differences from the races they are familiar with.
Ye Chen's lord talent not only changed his clan, but also made it incredibly powerful!
