"Hmph! What arrogance! Do you know what we represent? Giving you this opportunity is already incredibly lucky, and you still want to hesitate? You ignorant fool!" the lord of the Myriad Things Pavilion said sternly.
Something seems to have happened at headquarters today, which has significantly impacted his interests and put him in a bad mood. Now, even a newcomer dares to refuse his offer, which is undoubtedly a provocation.
Upon hearing his words, the other lords also looked over, their eyes filled with slight doubt, but few were willing to speak up for him. After all, in their view, the invitation from the ten super powers had already given them enough face, and to dare to refuse under such circumstances would undoubtedly make them, the guides of these super powers, lose face.
Of course, without making any excuses, some of these lords did indeed come with friendly intentions to recruit them.
“Young friend, you can think it over carefully. Our Bestway Group has come with utmost sincerity!” said the lord of Bestway Group, who was the first to speak.
“That’s right, my Celestial God Group is the same. If you’re willing, I wouldn’t even mind beating that fat bastard up for you right now. He’s really rude!” the lord of the Celestial God Group said.
While some expressed goodwill, there were also those filled with malice, like the Lord of the Myriad Things Pavilion, who, after hearing Ye Chen's refusal, didn't even bother to invite him again.
"You can go back and think about it slowly, but I want to know why you were able to transform your territory into an entire planet in the trial space?" The speaker was from the Holy Court, which was also a super power, and a super power based primarily on the power of faith.
The members of this faction are all very powerful, and because of their beliefs, the entire group has a strict hierarchy, clear rules, and is even somewhat fanatical.
Although Ye Chen has just become a lord, it is clear that he does not follow the faith lineage, so whether or not to recruit him is irrelevant. However, the ability to possess a planet is something they must master.
The Holy Court's words weren't just something he wanted to know; everyone present pricked up their ears. It was something everyone was curious about, but even though he had already used up the refresh stone, why would he say it so easily? Especially not with such an arrogant attitude.
"Sorry, no comment. If there's nothing else, I think I should leave. As for these people, you can take them if you want!" Ye Chen frowned slightly and said in a cold tone.
As Mount Tai kicked the people buried underground out of his territory, Ye Chen immediately burned his magic crystals and activated his spatial teleportation.
This is an ability that only the territories of formal lords possess. After all, one must travel to countless planes to fight against darkness, and relying solely on flying, even at the speed of light, one could never hope to fly out of a universe in a lifetime.
"Insolence!" The lords of the Holy Court and the Tower of All Things shouted, trying to stop him. However, Ye Chen's spatial teleportation had been prepared for a long time, and after a brief activation, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. None of them expected that this newcomer, invited by the ten super powers, would actually run away?
"Hmph!" The female lord of the Celestial God Group snorted coldly at the people from the Myriad Things Pavilion and the Holy Court, then turned and left without saying anything more.
The lord of the Best Group did the same, sighing with slight regret before leaving as well.
Legend has it that in the time tunnel, Ye Chen appeared in a deserted starry sky. This place was still the Harry plane, but it was far away from the birthplace of the newborn, so there was no one around.
"Phew~~~ Luckily, it was mentioned in class that becoming a formal lord grants the ability to travel through space, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do!" Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the dark starry sky around him.
Although they were back in darkness, they felt no fear. Compared to these dark creatures, being captured by those super powers would be far more terrifying.
"But? Where is this place? And where did Fatty and the others go?" Ye Chen wondered as he calmed down.
It's been almost an hour since he officially became the lord, and he's sent messages to the three of them but hasn't received a reply. Has something happened? Or are they just out of contact?
After all, they had traversed countless dimensions, so poor signal and slow message transmission were normal phenomena. However, according to the previous agreement, they should have stayed in Harry's dimension and waited for him to come out, instead of wandering around.
"Forget it, let's contact other people first. Without an official guide, I need to find someone else to help me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even understand the basic rules of this lord's world!" Ye Chen shook his head, put aside his worries about Fatty and the others, and began to search for other people in his friends list.
Most of them were his classmates from his student days, but few of them became lords, so the connection wasn't very meaningful.
The lords I met in the trial space are all still growing within it and haven't emerged yet; I can't contact them, except...
“Zhou Wenbin? Could they be in the Harry dimension? Send them a message and ask!” Ye Chen was taken aback when he saw Zhou Wenbin and the others’ profile pictures, and then sent them a message.
These were the same people they had met in the trial space. They came to rob him and the fat man in order to save their little sister, but ended up being robbed instead.
Actually, these people have pretty good character, otherwise Ye Chen wouldn't have gone with them to rescue people later. It's just that their strength and talent are a bit lacking. Only Zhou Wenbin advanced as a mid-level lord.
"Ah! Brother Chen, you're out?" The message was sent and a reply was received not long afterward. Zhou Wenbin even sent a projector.
"Yes, we're out. Where are you guys? How have you been lately?" Ye Chen nodded and smiled.
"Hehe! Good, very good! We are the very, the very, the earliest batch of lords!" Zhou Wenbin stammered, his expression full of excitement.
"Brother Ye Chen! You're out? Where are you? We're coming to find you!" A cheerful voice, like that of a lark, rang out, and the projection quickly changed from a burly man to a young girl. Zhou Wenxuan looked at Ye Chen with a joyful expression and exclaimed.
"Haha! Hello! I'm in the Harry plane, of course. I'm one of those lords who just escaped their birthplace. I'm currently in a no-man's-land. What about you?" Ye Chen laughed, quite fond of this cheerful little girl.
"Wow! Brother Ye Chen, you must be sought after by many forces, right? Just imagine how spectacular that scene must be! Unlike us, as soon as we hear that we are low-level lords, no one is interested, and we even drag our brother down with us!" Zhou Wenxuan looked at him with admiration, but her tone was slightly downcast when she talked about herself and the others.
