As the two approached the Milky Way, they encountered more and more people around them, many of whom were new lords whose territories were only a few hundred or a thousand acres in size. These people couldn't help but look at Ye Chen's territory with a hint of envy.
The size of a territory largely determines the height a lord can reach in their lifetime, and a planetary territory like Ye Chen's is something many lords can never achieve in their entire lives.
"Do you think these people will stare at us with all sorts of envious and jealous looks, and keep muttering 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man'?" The fat man looked at the new lords who kept passing by outside the territory, with an air of commanding the world.
"Thirty years? If I had the money, developing in the Time Cave for thirty days would be enough to crush you!" Ye Chen said with a sneer.
Within the Cavern of Time, a day is equivalent to a year. After thirty years of development, even if the top combat power is insufficient, the sheer number of people would be enough to make even demigods hesitate.
"That's true!" The fat man swallowed hard, putting the matter out of his mind.
The two did not fly for long before they encountered the checkpoints of the Milky Way. This was a common occurrence in the Blue Star plane, as it was the stronghold of many lords.
However, this time they ran into an acquaintance, Sun Xiuzhu, who was in charge of distributing benefits to new lords, or rather, he was waiting for them here after receiving the news.
"How is it? Did you find him?" Sun Xiuzhu didn't stand on ceremony and led several of his clansmen to Ye Chen's territory. Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course! Let me introduce you, Wang Sicong, whose initial clan was goblins!" Ye Chen laughed, gesturing to the fat man next to him to introduce him.
"Hey! Hello, Uncle Sun! No need to be so polite, just call me Fatty Wang. I've never been inside that Time Cave before. When do you think you'll have the chance to take me in and let me see it?" Fatty chuckled, his outgoing personality making him feel completely at ease.
"Haha! I never thought that the Treasure Trading Disc was invented by you two little rascals, brat! Is the Titan Temple still working well?" Sun Xiuzhu looked at the fat man's fawning face and found it hard to associate him with the noble status of a lord, let alone the person who invented the Treasure Trading Disc.
"It works great! It would be even better if it were a real Titan Temple!" Ye Chen said seriously, which made Sun Xiuzhu grit his teeth in annoyance.
"You want the real Titan Temple? I want it too!" Sun Xiuzhu said irritably. The Titans were a true race of gods; their civilization's seeds weren't so easy to obtain.
However, he didn't know that Ye Chen was speaking from the heart. The Titan Temple of the Titan Giants eventually evolved into the ancient witch race. What if it was a temple that truly incubated the Titan race? Would it eventually hatch the creator god Titan?
Of course, he only thought about it. How could the creator god be recruited so easily? Moreover, the Titan temples were mostly composed of subspecies like the Titan giants. There were very few lords who could truly have Titans as their followers, and they were all regional overlords.
"Alright, alright, tell me, what do you want from here?" Ye Chen curled his lip. Without the Titan Temple, what's there to talk about? Spit it out already, he still has to recruit Awakened Ones.
"What do you think I'm here for? Do you really think I took that Titan Temple for nothing? I have to give the higher-ups an explanation, right? It's about space teleportation technology!" Sun Xiuzhu stretched out his right hand and said irritably.
"Ah! This? Haha!" Ye Chen laughed awkwardly. He had gotten a free clan nest and had completely forgotten about it!
"Come on, let me introduce you. You're the second largest shareholder of Duobao Trading Network and also the patent holder for space teleportation technology!" He chuckled, pulled the fat man over, and introduced him again.
"We're supposed to be cooperating, you can't just think you can take away a low-quality Titan Temple like that, can you? Let's find a place to talk this over in detail," Ye Chen said.
"Hmph! I've been prepared for this all along. Let's go straight back to Blue Star. Come with me, or don't blame me if we get stopped!" Sun Xiuzhu said irritably, then returned to his territory and flew towards Blue Star with the two of them.
This was the time when there were the most lords on Earth. Although they were all low-ranking lords, it was enough to make ordinary people envious.
However, there are official regulations: members of the lord's clan are not allowed to enter Earth, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the lord's territory or have contact with the lord's clan.
This is to ensure the purity of the Blue Star bloodline. It should be noted that the offspring of the planet's native inhabitants and the lord's clan are very difficult to awaken. As far as the Seed of Hope is concerned, the clans are all clans that have been eliminated in the invasion of darkness and do not have the qualifications to rekindle the Seed of Hope.
Of course, this is not absolute. Living in the reclaimed world for dozens or hundreds of generations can still rekindle the flame of hope. However, it is too troublesome. Therefore, the Blue Star leadership directly cut off the possibility for Blue Star people to contact their kin.
Of course, it's not impossible to go to Earth. First, sterilize them. The surgery is quick and easy, and there's absolutely no possibility of recurrence!
The lord's territory is not allowed to enter the solar system; it can only dock outside the solar system and then return via official spaceships.
After docking their territory outside the solar system, Ye Chen and Fatty, along with Tao Ping, the only awakened individual in the territory, boarded the official spaceship returning to Earth.
"Now that we've arrived, our transaction is considered complete!" Ye Chen said to Tao Ping before boarding the ship.
Their transaction involved a Tier 7 energy crystal, and Ye Chen was responsible for bringing Tao Ping back to Blue Star. With this, Ye Chen had fulfilled his promise.
"Hmm, that's pretty fast! I wonder if Lord Ye Chen would be interested in making another deal with me?" Tao Ping nodded and asked Ye Chen.
"Let's make another deal?" Ye Chen looked at him with interest. "What? You've taken a fancy to my land and are planning to stay?"
Tao Ping's thoughts were actually easy to guess. At this time, he was lingering and wanted to make another deal, which meant that he was interested in his potential and was prepared to follow him. Otherwise, even if the other party wanted something, he would not have anything to trade with Tao Ping.
"Indeed! I wonder if Lord Ye Chen has any plans to take me in? Putting aside everything else, I am at least stronger and more knowledgeable about the rules than those new Awakened Ones. Moreover, I can be a teacher in the Western Continent and teach those newcomers to you. I have much more experience in this area than you do!"
"I have no such plans. Newcomers are easier to control. You old fox, you think you can teach me? What? Are you planning to usurp the throne and become the imperial tutor?"
"..."
