Putting aside the corpses and materials of the many dark creatures, the merit points alone are enough to justify this war.
The billions of merit points were not only enough to make up for the losses from purchasing energy crystals, but there was even a considerable surplus, not to mention the numerous corpses of those dark creatures.
Especially the bronze heads that appeared later; the supply of metal materials alone was enough to match the territory's production for decades.
Their bodies are made of extremely rare alloys. No one knows how they were combined and created, but these alloys have extremely high hardness, plasticity, and magical conductivity, making them excellent forging materials. In fact, weapons and equipment forged from these metals are more spiritual than those made from most materials.
Of course, that was all they gained. Without setting foot on the lost inhabited planet, their gains were limited, and they didn't find any rare resources. But what they already had was enough for them.
Two days later, Wang Xinghe finally returned with the newlyweds. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Chen and Fatty waiting there.
Those who stay behind are in the most danger; one wrong move and they could easily succumb to darkness. So even after receiving Ye Chen's message, Wang Xinghe still couldn't completely relax, worrying about the extent of the clan's losses and whether their territory had been damaged.
Only when I actually saw the person did I finally feel relieved.
"How is it? Everything went smoothly? How long have you been back?" Wang Xinghe asked with concern.
"It went well, pretty smoothly. Didn't I send you a message before? I got back two days ago!" Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"That's good! How are the losses for the clan? Are they significant?"
"It's alright, acceptable, and there were even some good results!"
Ye Chen replied with a smile, sending the pile of purified materials from his territory to Wang Xinghe, whose eyes widened in surprise.
"Holy crap! These are all high-level dark creatures! You went in and killed them? There are even bronze-level ones?" Wang Xinghe was shocked and couldn't believe that the two newcomers dared to go deeper under those circumstances!
"Hmm! We went in a little bit to see what was going on behind us and how many dark creatures there were. But they were much stronger than I expected, so we had to come back out! We didn't find any useful information!" Ye Chen said regretfully, and Wang Xinghe was at a loss for words.
"No, you should have gathered enough information by now!" After a long while, Wang Xinghe pointed to the huge sixth-order bronze-headed corpse in the photo and said.
"Huh?" Ye Chen was taken aback and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"You have just become a lord and lack experience. There are many things you do not yet understand. There must be other dark creatures accompanying the Bronze Head. The strongest Bronze Heads will not have more than three, otherwise there must be higher-level beings."
"The bronze head you killed shouldn't be the only one. If there are more than three, then the situation is bad. A seventh-tier bronze head must be accompanied by another seventh-tier dark creature. This dark star field is no longer a place we can set foot in!"
"Moreover, the appearance of such a high-level dark star field in this vicinity is definitely not normal. I need to report this matter to higher authorities, and at the same time, everyone should prepare to evacuate and find a new safe location as our base camp."
Wang Xinghe explained, his expression growing increasingly serious. After finishing, he ended the call, clearly to report to his superiors.
Ye Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. It seemed that he knew too little about the Dark Starry Sky and lacked experience. He had only thought it was a group of powerful dark creatures, but in reality, there were many more conspiracies and changes hidden inside.
"Sure enough! The saying 'one is never too old to learn' is absolutely true!" Ye Chen glanced at the Sutra Repository not far away and shook his head helplessly.
Compared to the tension felt by Wang Xinghe and Ye Chen, the other lords seemed much more relaxed. They had once again withdrawn from the Dark Starfield. Although their clans had suffered some losses, it was still within an acceptable range. Most importantly, they had gained valuable experience.
This time, almost all the new lords who went into battle returned with a full load. Not to mention the materials from the corpses of dark creatures, the merit points alone were enough for them to exchange for a large amount of resources in the Inheritance Stone Tablet to build up their future development.
The resources that can be obtained from the Inheritance Stone Tablet are mostly geared towards territory building. Truly rare resources are few and far between, and are limited in quantity and expensive. They are often the exclusive property of high-level players and are quickly snapped up once they appear. Most people can only pick up the leftovers.
Even basic resources are enough for these new lords; what they need is the development of their territories and their clans.
Besides them, another group was also in a state of shock and jubilation.
Although the battle in New Enni City resulted in the loss of many warriors, it also brought them a wealth of resources and experience in fighting dark creatures.
Ye Chen did not take the low-level creature corpses they obtained, but let them dispose of them themselves, which provided Hope Academy and even New Aini City with a large number of experimental specimens and materials.
Moreover, this war allowed them to witness the power of the primordial planet.
"Even I am powerless in such a battle!" In the city lord's mansion, sixth-tier mage Lynn said helplessly as he looked at Cecilia and the others.
Not only the Bronze Head, but also Ye Xi, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, Mount Tai, and even the fifth-order Ancestral Witch and Phoenix Bird, he was not confident that he could defeat them. The power of the Primordial Clan had exceeded his understanding of the entire power system.
"This is incredible! Is this the Dark War? Even such powerful beings could only retreat from the darkness!" Cecilia exclaimed in shock.
“Otherwise what? Don’t forget, even the gods can only retreat in the darkness!” Priest Betty said with a hint of pessimism, which made everyone’s hearts sink.
The somber conversations in the city lord's mansion contrasted sharply with the revelry in the city, and even Lynn couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
Even powerful figures like Ye Xi and the Three-Legged Golden Crow could only retreat from the darkness. Did they still have any hope of fighting against the darkness? What was the point of their struggle here?
It wasn't until a beautiful and elegant figure walked into the city lord's mansion that everyone finally came to their senses and looked blankly at the entrance.
"We may not be able to defeat the darkness, but someone has to step forward, otherwise all the heavens and myriad realms will eventually fall. In the face of danger, only responsibility matters!"
