Fortunately, Melo had already packed everything that needed to be taken, saving Mina and the others a lot of time. In the end, they were simply sending people back to their territory.
As news spread from the library, many people risked braving the fighting above to rush towards the library, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope.
Many bold and shrewd individuals, knowing that Mina and her companions would only stay there for a short while, chose to take the plunge and rushed directly into the portal.
Mina didn't stop these people. The territory was quite empty now, so the number of these people didn't matter. Ye Chen didn't mind giving these people with a strong will to survive and enough courage a chance. When they seized the opportunity, they would often unleash even greater potential than those geniuses.
The battle zone was shrinking. After everyone retreated to the vicinity of the library, Ye Xi decisively had Mina close the spatial gate, and then led everyone to attack, directly breaking out.
However, they did not leave the capital city, but rushed into the palace, intending to take some members of the royal family back with them. After all, this was the kingdom of the Aini people, and having members of the royal family would allow Ye Chen to better control the ordinary people under his command.
While Ye Chen was chatting and boasting with the fat man in the lord's manor, he suddenly froze. He sensed that a portal had opened in his territory and that outsiders were entering. He immediately focused his attention to investigate.
The lord's consciousness swept across the entire planet and quickly discovered some unusual humans who had suddenly appeared at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.
These people have human appearances, but their feet are like deer hooves, so they are clearly not normal humans.
Moreover, next to them were dozens of huge boxes filled with all kinds of rare artifacts and books.
"Did they send someone back? Why are the coordinates so off?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was an alien creature that Mina had sent back. He just didn't expect that the original plan to send it to Xiniu Hezhou would result in such a large deviation, and it was sent directly to Tianzhu Mountain.
"Come on! I'll take you to see the new race!" Ye Chen laughed, pulling the fat man to his feet and calling Ye Ling beside him to activate the teleportation, which brought them directly to the group's side.
Upon seeing Ye Chen's sudden appearance, everyone was startled and looked at him warily. When they saw his human face and the Silver Moon Elf standing beside him, they immediately realized that these must be the natives of this world.
"Your Excellency, Lord Ye Chen, these are the Aini people that Elder Mina asked us to bring back, along with a large collection of rare books from their royal library!" At this moment, a goblin who had come with them ran up to the fat man and Ye Chen and said respectfully.
“Very good! You can wait here for a moment. Mina’s teleportation was a bit off, and we may need you to take them to Xiniu Hezhou later!” Ye Chen nodded and said.
"I'm happy to serve you!" the goblin chuckled, then went off to play by himself.
"Is this the Aini tribe they're talking about? Apart from their feet, they're not much different from humans, are they? And these girls are all quite pretty! Middle-aged men also lose their hair!" The fat man laughed as he looked at the crowd, but Ye Chen interrupted him impatiently.
"Alright, stop joking around. Don't you think it's impolite? We're all intelligent beings, after all, and we should all be given the respect we deserve!" Ye Chen said, and the fat man shut up reluctantly.
"You! Who are you?" A boy standing at the front asked Ye Chen. He hadn't come with Maile originally, but had ventured in on his own later, and hadn't expected to end up in a completely unfamiliar world.
"Me? I am the lord of this place, the lord of this entire planet. Every inch of land beneath your feet and every breath of air you take belongs to me!" Ye Chen said slowly, immediately startling everyone.
If they had no concept of the word "lord," then the lord of an entire planet was far too terrifying. Though called a lord, he was actually more terrifying than their king.
"Then! Why did you bring us here?" the boy continued to ask, a question that was on everyone's mind.
"Help? No! You seem to have misunderstood something. I just rescued you on a whim. To me, all of you combined are probably not even worth as much as that box!" Ye Chen shook his head and smiled. This was indeed an indisputable fact, but it made these people turn pale and even somewhat unwilling.
But no one dared to refute him. Putting aside everything else, the beautiful elf standing next to him already exuded an extremely terrifying aura. As the lord of such a powerful being, killing them would be a matter of a single thought.
"Hello! Do you know where my brother Mike is?" At this moment, a girl came out and asked Ye Chen timidly. She was Mike's sister, Mile.
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. Ye Xi had only mentioned that he had found a few natives to help, and had only mentioned Mike's name briefly. He hadn't taken it to heart until Ye Ling reminded him.
"Oh! It's him! He'll be here in a few days. He's currently helping out in your world. My people will protect him!" Ye Chen replied. Upon hearing that her brother would be coming, Maile breathed a sigh of relief.
"What exactly happened to our world? Why did you descend upon us? And why did you bring us here?" the mature female instructor beside her asked.
"Your world? Strictly speaking, it has already been destroyed, but it has survived for so long thanks to the protection of your gods. Now it is almost time for it to end. So bringing you to my territory is actually to save your lives!" Ye Chen said slowly, and then explained the details to everyone again.
Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked. They were just ordinary people from their original world, and they had never heard of things that even the strongest beings could not know. Now, upon hearing this, they felt their entire understanding of life collapse. Everyone stood there, speechless for a long time.
"Alright! That's the situation. More of your people will likely be coming over, and then you'll need to provide an explanation."
"I'll just say one thing: this is my territory. Since you've come, you are my subjects and my people. I hope you will abide by the rules of this territory and not have any ill intentions!"
"A fire crow will come over later and take you to where you will live in the future. However, it is currently a wasteland, so you will have to build your own homes. If you have any needs, you can talk to the Silver Moon Elves stationed there!"
After explaining everything in one breath, Ye Chen felt a bit thirsty. After finishing his explanation, he asked Ye Ling to leave a few Silver Moon Elf to take care of them, and then returned to the lord's manor.
Soon after, a large flock of fire crows flew in and carried these people to their designated locations, where they could begin a new life.
