They say it will take a day or two, but in reality, those one or two days are extremely difficult to endure.
The peaceful times of the past are gone. As the war spreads, dark creatures and other lords have begun to set foot here.
If they are lords, it's easier to deal with them. They are hidden among the stars and are not easily detected. Moreover, with a large number of surveillance cameras, they can also avoid detection in advance.
However, the dark creatures are different. They have a keen ability to track life signs, and they can basically sense the existence of Ye Chen's territory as long as the dark creatures approach.
In the past two days, Ye Chen has fought seven or eight battles. Although the enemies that came were all lone fifth or sixth-tier creatures, they were still quite troublesome.
"I've got it! The spatial rift in the secret realm has appeared!" The fat man, who had been watching the monitor, exclaimed excitedly. Ye Chen was taken aback and looked at the screen.
Suddenly, a world resembling a light curtain appeared in the dark starry sky. The facets of the light curtain made it seem like a projection, but the energy fluctuations emanating from it told everyone that this was not a simple projection.
The lords outside the light screen all looked surprised. They hadn't expected that their garrison would hide a secret realm. However, their surprise quickly turned to joy, for a secret realm meant wealth.
Only a few lords were not surprised by this; they had already received the news and were deliberately waiting here, including some high-ranking lords of the fifth or sixth tier.
As for lords of the seventh rank and above, the secret realms and alternate dimensions offer them little help, and such places are not very attractive.
"Shall we go now?" Ye Chen asked. His energy furnace was already fully stocked with enough energy to teleport him there immediately, even if he took the fat man's territory with him.
"Wait a little longer, the entrance to the other dimension hasn't fully opened yet. Look, those people haven't moved yet!" the fat man said, pointing to several lords in the picture.
He was referring to those calm lords. Unlike the surprise and joy of the others, they looked at the mirror world with an air of confidence, waiting patiently for the world to open.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded.
Compared to the many lords who were calm, surprised, or delighted, the residents of the mirror world all looked up at the sky, their faces filled with panic and fear.
To them, the anomaly in the sky was tantamount to the collapse of the world. Only in a few places did powerful figures appear to calm the restless residents around them.
These powerful figures are either heroes of this world or projections left behind by some god. In short, these places will become the preferred locations for the arrival of various lords, because only powerful individuals can control the greatest wealth.
As the mirror world gradually solidified, Ye Chen noticed an anomaly in his surroundings: numerous lord territories were roaming around, and the images from the surveillance cameras were beginning to show signs of instability.
"They're setting up spatial shielding devices to prevent other lords from getting close and to stop the transmission of messages!" Ye Chen immediately understood. This kind of thing was all too common. If they hadn't been using the surveillance equipment that Fatty had made independently, they probably would have already lost control of the footage.
“I can handle the visual issue, since shielding can’t block everything. But if it’s a little later, I’m afraid we won’t be able to teleport in!” the fat man said, frowning slightly.
It was expected that the other party would control the surrounding area, but it was a bit unexpected that they would block out the surrounding space so quickly.
“But it seems a bit too early to go there now. They’ve already driven away the lords who were stationed here before. You see, those lords didn’t resist. They’ve obviously received instructions from the higher-ranking lords!” Ye Chen said, pointing to the situation on the screen.
Those lords who had previously shown surprise were now leaving the star field under the guidance of other lords. Although they looked helpless, they did not choose to resist.
"Damn it, could it be that a high-ranking lord has come to control it? How are we supposed to get there?" The fat man looked anxious and quickly thought of what to do.
"What about Mina? Ask her if she can open the spatial passage in advance. If so, let's go directly there!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment.
Mina is arguably the goblin in Fat Man's territory who has the deepest understanding of spatial power, especially in spatial teleportation; almost no other goblin can compare to her.
"Mina!" the fat man called out to those behind him, and some of his key goblins had already followed him.
Hearing the fat man's shout, the short Mina immediately ran over.
"Coming! Coming! My dear lord, is there something you need from Mina?" Mina trotted over and asked the fat man.
"Take a look at this spatial mirror screen. Can it take us inside?" Without further ado, the fat man lifted Mina up in front of the screen and pointed to the otherworldly mirror screen inside, asking.
"Oh~~~ This is? Another dimension? Is this the place you said we were going to next?" Mina exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the scene on the screen.
"Yes! But it's not fully open yet, but space travel has already been blocked around it. Can you take us in now?" Ye Chen asked. At this moment, the monitoring footage was becoming increasingly unstable, and it could be seen that the other side had evacuated most of the low-level lords and had begun to officially set up the shielding device.
"Hmm~~~ Let Mina see! This is a magical world. It would be such a shame if we couldn't go in!" Mina muttered as she stared at the screen.
“The spatial projection has appeared, but it is not completely overlapping. There should still be countless spaces between them. It is unclear exactly how many, but since the projection has appeared, it means that they are not far apart.”
"The fact that we can't resist it only means there's still a distance between us. If we want to get there sooner, we need to shorten that distance, but where is that space?"
"Oh~~~ Mina needs time to find the specific spatial coordinates; she can't find them just by looking at the projection!"
After muttering to herself for a while, Mina suddenly scratched her already thinning hair and looked at Fatty and Ye Chen with a troubled expression. She was clearly starting to get extremely frustrated because she couldn't enter the alternate dimension.
Upon hearing her words, Ye Chen and the fat man's eyes lit up.
"If we get to the mirror screen, how long will it take you to find the coordinates and then bring us inside?"
"Two hours? No, no, no? One hour? No, that's not right either. If it's close enough, half an hour? Fifteen minutes? No! Mina only needs ten minutes!"
"What's the point of thinking about it? Let's go!"
