As the Sands of Time began to churn, the lords in the vicinity all began to busy themselves.
The Cavern of Time is not a solitary room, but a vast communal space, ranging in size from a single star to an entire galaxy, capable of accommodating a large number of lords.
However, Ye Chen also looked at the price on the inheritance stone tablet. The string of zeros at the end indicated that it was in the hundreds of millions, and it was a limited edition.
In each plane, only a few Time Rifts can be exchanged, making them exclusive to high-ranking lords.
Sun Xiuzhu's Time Cave is about the size of two suns, which is enough for his own use or for a newcomer.
Of course, the appearance of Ye Chen's planet was still beyond his expectations. Although it was not large, it occupied half of the Time Cave. All the new lords who came in knew that a big shot had emerged in their generation. While they still had only a few hundred acres of territory, he had already brought out a planet comparable to the moon.
Yes, Ye Chen's Primordial Star wasn't very big. After being incorporated into Kalan Star, it shrank and became only about the size of the moon. But that was still pretty impressive. You have to know that most Tier 4 Lords' planets were only a little over half the size of the moon when they were first formed, which is a planet with a radius of 1,000 kilometers.
"Brother Ye Chen, are you there?" A beautiful... projection appeared beside Ye Chen. It was a petite and cute little girl, who was also a new lord living next to him.
"Where can I go if I'm not here? Is there something wrong?" Ye Chen stretched in the rocking chair and answered with a helpless expression.
"Hehe, I'm about to head out, so I came to say hello. After all, with your abilities, who knows when we'll meet again!" the girl laughed, revealing two adorable dimples.
"But we still have this to keep in touch!" Ye Chen raised his right hand, gesturing to his wristband, and then asked, "How's your fox-people clan doing?"
The girl's name is Hu Yingying. Her family has produced several lords in the past, but unfortunately none of them were very powerful. They are considered a declining lord family.
However, this family has a very good talent inheritance. Basically, as long as a lord is born, they all have similar fox-like talents, and their relatives are mostly fox-people. They have also developed a special training method for fox-people.
Unfortunately, this is also a weak race with a low growth potential, so it has never been able to truly develop, especially in the early stages, where it is not easy to obtain a set of high-level Five Elements Spirit Beads.
Fortunately, the little girl was quite capable. Despite the initial weakness of the fox-people, she managed to acquire a set of intermediate-level Five Elements Spirit Beads and advanced to the rank of intermediate-level lord, which shows she has a promising future.
"It's alright. The population has gradually grown, and quite a few people have mastered magic. It's just that the territory is starting to feel a bit small. We'll have to expand it as soon as we get out!" Hu Yingying replied with envy as she looked at Ye Chen's territory.
"That's good!" Ye Chen nodded.
Fox-people are capable of mastering magic, but it's very difficult for them to awaken it. By figuring it out on their own, they can only master some low-level magic like charm spells. Hu Yingying's main purpose in entering the Cavern of Time this time is to enable her fox-people to master true magic.
In this regard, she mainly relies on her own inheritance stone tablet. However, Ye Chen had previously asked Bella to teach her for a day or two when she had time. Therefore, for Hu Yingying, Ye Chen is a person who has done her a great favor, and she will definitely repay him with her own body... cough cough, she will definitely repay him handsomely!
"Brother Ye Chen, will you leave after you go out and go to another dimension?" Hu Yingying asked with a hint of reluctance.
Ye Chen was very easy to talk to. Not only him, but he also helped many other new lords around him a lot this year, so many people were very reluctant to part with this kind big shot.
"Yeah, I have to go out and look for someone!" Ye Chen nodded, without saying anything more.
"After you find the person, will you come back?" Hu Yingying continued to ask.
"Probably, since I promised Senior Sun Xiuzhu that I would come back to participate in the autumn recruitment season and give those Awakened Ones a chance to find employment!"
"Autumn recruitment? That's a month from now! After the autumn recruitment ends, can you come with me to a place? The dark creatures there are a bit powerful, and I can't handle them by myself! Of course, there will be a reward!" Hu Yingying asked nervously, while Ye Chen was stunned.
"Why did you think of asking me? There should be some lords in your family, right? They should be able to escort you there, right?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled. The other party was not a lone wolf like him!
"Well... there aren't many lords left in the family, and their strength is generally average. They're basically stuck at the peak of the 3rd tier, and their strongest combat power is only barely at the 5th tier. If they really encounter a large number of high-level dark creatures, they won't be able to handle them!" Hu Yingying said somewhat awkwardly. Nominally, they are second-generation lords, but in reality, their family's strength is really too weak compared to other lords.
Hearing this, Ye Chen finally understood. To ordinary people on Earth, a lord's family might sound impressive, but within the lord's circle, there are different levels and ranks.
If a lord's family remains stuck at the low-ranking lord level for a long time and cannot produce mid- to high-ranking lords, then it is nothing more than the lowest level in the entire lord circle.
Only a family like Jian Mengyi's, with four prodigies who become lords, can wield significant influence even if the family itself is small.
"Alright, if everything goes smoothly and I don't have anything else to do, I'll go with you!" Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
The Dark Invasion has affected countless planes. No one can find the source, nor does anyone know how many planes have fallen before it. Even in the Harry Plane, which has already been reclaimed, there are many places that no one has ever set foot in, or even forbidden zones for life.
Some of these places are too secluded, some are too eerie, and some are guarded by powerful dark creatures.
Many lords like to specifically seek out such places because no one has ever been there before. High risk also means high reward, and there may be an opportunity hidden there that can make their territory stronger.
Hu Yingying had obviously found such a secret realm, but due to her own limitations, she could only seek help from outside. Unfortunately, the elders in her family were unreliable, so she had no choice but to look outside.
Ye Chen even had reason to believe that her family must have known about this place for a long time, but they just didn't have the power to acquire it, so it could only benefit outsiders.
