A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Chen spent the longest and most peaceful period of his life.
If it weren't for the gradual passing of the Sands of Time outside, he would have thought he was playing a farming game.
Besides recruiting followers, he spends his days farming, raising livestock, teasing the Moon Goddess spirits, and chatting with the Mountain God and the others.
Enjoying a sunbath at the beach every now and then, and taking a few bikini-clad beauties swimming in the sea – life couldn't be more pleasant.
It wasn't until the Sands of Time outside the planet began to flow that the many lords realized that time within the Caverns of Time was about to end.
From the moment the sands of time begin to flow until they leave, they have at most a month left.
"Time flies! It's already been a year!" Ye Chen sighed inwardly, looking at the dense forest behind him, which was the result of his efforts over the past year.
It's impossible to develop a planet with nothing in just one year, so he can only start with a small area, centered on Tianzhu Mountain where he lives, and then expand outwards to the entire planet.
The dense forest at the foot of the mountain was the result of his and his many relatives' efforts over the past year.
From a few saplings to a whole forest, this is something that is almost impossible to accomplish on Earth.
But here, with the help of many clans and powerful magic, they succeeded in building this forest.
This place has now become the second home of all the Silver Laurel Moon Elves. The forest is filled with a large number of laurel trees, making it the first true forest on the entire Primordial Star.
"Ye Xi, pass on the word: finish what you're doing as soon as possible. We should head out. By the way, ask Ye Ling and Bi Fang how the new recruits' training is going. Life outside isn't as peaceful as it is here!" Ye Chen said, looking at Ye Xi beside him.
Over the course of a year, the number of Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves increased by more than a thousand, and Moon Goddess also saw an increase of more than a hundred people.
The fastest-growing race is the Fire Raven. Unlike the Silver Moon Elves, who are all of the same sex, this low-ranking race can also reproduce, and a single litter can produce quite a few Fire Ravens.
Ye Chen hadn't noticed the small number of fire crows before, but after completing a breeding cycle during the breeding season, he suddenly discovered that he had thousands of fire crows out of thin air.
Only then did he truly realize the terrifying increase in the number of low-level clansmen. Keep in mind that at the time, he only had a few thousand fire crows.
Today, as he prepares to leave the Caverns of Time, the number of fire crows has grown to tens of thousands, nearly causing a food crisis in his territory, and not just because they were eaten by dragons.
"Alright!" The head steward, Ye Xi, nodded and went to relay the order.
Bifang was a special kind of creature recruited from the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree that year, along with the Azure Phoenix and the Chongming Bird.
The special recruitment of Chiyang Wutong Wood is extremely difficult. In more than a year, only three special birds have been recruited. Including the Ice Phoenix, Black Bird and Three-Legged Golden Crow from before, Ye Chen currently has a total of five special birds.
Compared to the three-legged golden crow that carries the sun and many other birds, the Bifang is undoubtedly more aggressive and warlike, which is why the training of the fire crow has always been entrusted to it.
The fourth-tier Bifang already possessed terrifying flames, making it easy to train these flames that were at most third tier. It even trained some specially advanced fire crows, enabling them to successfully advance to the fourth tier and evolve into a completely new race.
However, the number of these fire crows is very small, and a stable way to mass-produce them has not yet been found, so we can only try our luck for now.
After Ye Xi left, Ye Chen flashed and headed to Fengdu City. Since the territory was about to move, this ghost city naturally needed to make some preparations.
The city of Fengdu is no longer the desolate place it once was. Many buildings have sprung up, becoming dwellings for ghosts.
Moreover, a large number of ghosts roam the city, not only in human form, but also in animal form. These are all dead livestock that have been drawn in, which is currently the main source of souls in Fengdu City.
Unfortunately, Fengdu City does not yet have the function of reincarnation, so these souls can only stay here and cannot be reincarnated. Otherwise, he would have done justice to the chickens, ducks and fish he ate.
"Oros, how's the training of the ghost soldiers going? What's their combat strength?" Ye Chen asked Oros in the sky as he walked straight to the Yama Palace, which had not yet been rebuilt.
As the most powerful day-roaming god in Fengdu City, Oros floats directly above the Yama Palace, constantly intimidating the entire city. No ghost dares to do anything wrong under its watchful eye.
"Too slow, only level 3 combat power, and if he dies, his soul will be scattered!" Oros replied when he saw Ye Chen coming.
Training ghost soldiers was his long-standing plan. The humanoid ghosts he recruited were not all used as ordinary residents. Instead, about half of them, along with some large ordinary creatures, were given to Oros to train ghost soldiers.
Firstly, they can go out to fight when the territory is in danger, and secondly, they can serve as a reserve force for Fengdu City in the future.
Among this group of ghost soldiers, quite a few ghost messengers were born, and even the Black and White Impermanence were gathered by Ye Chen.
This underworld official was indeed the leader of all the soul-collecting officials. With the establishment of the two Black and White Impermanence, all the soul-collecting officials seemed to have their own leaders, and they did their work in an orderly manner.
Not only that, but the Night Patrol was also selected from among them. She was a drowned female ghost who was recruited with a lot of resentment and had the strength of the third rank. Later, her obsession dissipated and she advanced to the fourth rank. Ye Chen also gave her the position of Night Patrol God.
"It's alright. I'm just a reserve member in Fengdu City. My current strength isn't important. As long as I can help manage the entire city, that's enough. Those ordinary animal souls aren't so easy to manage!" Ye Chen shrugged and laughed. Animals don't have much consciousness, and when they become ghosts, they're not easy to manage. They often cause a lot of trouble in Fengdu City!
"What? Is it time? It seems like it's been almost a year! It's a pity that the judge still has no clue, and I don't feel any possibility of promotion!" Oros asked. Apart from these two things, Ye Chen wouldn't come to him unless there was something else.
"Yes, we're about to leave, so I'm just letting you know. Make sure you handle things in Fengdu City as soon as possible; once we're out there, the peaceful days won't be the same!" Ye Chen nodded and continued, "As for the Judge, we'll talk about him after we leave. Maybe we can find him directly!"
