Points can be earned quickly, but the number of dark creatures is ultimately limited, especially since most of them are summoned creatures.
With the final large influx of points, the growth rate of merit points finally slowed down, eventually stopping at over 4.7 billion. This number was unimaginable for new lords and even low-ranking lords; only mid-ranking and higher-ranking lords could look up to such a large number of merit points.
With so many merit points at his disposal, Ye Chen is fully capable of cultivating a group of mid-level lords, and he already possesses the basic ability to build a force.
"Wow, so many merit points! It took me a long time to accumulate them when I reached the sixth rank!" Raphael couldn't help but exclaim in his heart after learning about Ye Chen's merit points. The other lords were even more amazed.
Don't be fooled by how quickly sixth-tier lords make money; they also consume a lot of merit points. Take the most basic sixth-tier energy crystals, for example. Ye Chen is now buying them in units of hundreds of millions. Not to mention these other people, accumulating merit points is not so easy.
"This? You could call it luck, a windfall!" Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, then took out 800 million and gave it to each of the four people, keeping 4 billion for himself. He thought, if he's going to eat the meat, he should at least let others have some soup.
"Hey! That's a good job. He made two hundred million just by making one trip. The young man is generous!" A lord who had received merit points smiled at Ye Chen.
They didn't think Ye Chen gave too little. Although he took 4 billion, they hadn't done much work and it was all thanks to his fire. They were able to get 200 million for free, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?
Although Bixuboxu was destroyed, Ye Chen and his group could not leave immediately. This cosmic fire would burn for quite a long time, and the debris inside was waiting for them to collect, especially the civilization sparks and bloodline crystals left behind by Bixuboxu, which was one of the major items.
Fortunately, there is no air in the starry sky, so even the true flames of the three-legged golden crow's sun will not burn indefinitely. Moreover, such terrifying temperatures will quickly incinerate the corpses of the dark creatures, and then slowly extinguish them after losing their flammable material.
Two hours later, as all the dark creatures were ignited, the raging fire in the star field reached its peak, and the entire star field was bathed in a sea of fire before slowly extinguishing.
Three hours later, the fire finally extinguished, but the terrifyingly high temperature inside still lingered, and no one dared to venture in easily.
Helpless, Ye Chen had no choice but to send the three-legged golden crows and phoenixes inside to bring out valuable items such as the spark of civilization and bloodline crystals. Other materials and such had to be left behind for the time being.
Of course, there were some benefits after the fire. The true heat of the sun can burn anything, and the dark energy that should have enveloped the entire star field was burned away along with the burning of these dark creatures and the raging fire. Once the merit points for purifying the dark energy are calculated, Ye Chen will probably gain another wave of merit points.
"Destruction is also rebirth. After being burned by the raging fire, new life will surely be born in this star field more quickly!" Ye Chen sighed as he looked into the depths of the star field. He and Raphael could all sense that although this star field seemed to be a pile of ashes, there was a faint vitality being nurtured inside.
This glimmer of life is extremely weak; it could be extinguished instantly by anyone who intervenes. However, if it can truly grow, it can completely restore this star field in the shortest amount of time. This is the life force born from destruction. The sun represents not only destruction but also rebirth.
"The spark of civilization from the Blood Pool? And the bloodline crystal of the Dark Tree Demon?" Ye Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the two items brought back by the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Neither of these were particularly useful.
"Do you need any?" Ye Chen asked Raphael and the others. The Civilization Flame and Bloodline Crystal are things that any lord needs, but compared to four billion merit points, their value is just so-so. So Ye Chen doesn't mind doing a favor if anyone really needs them.
Unfortunately, they all shook their heads. What they needed now was the resources to break through to the seventh-tier lord level. Their need for the spark of civilization was no longer so urgent, especially since neither of these things was particularly good.
“I suggest you sell both of these. As for the Dark Treant, it’s a dark creature that is very easy to fall into darkness, and it will spread very quickly. Don’t be fooled by the fact that one bloodline crystal can only recruit a few dozen. If it really falls, it will probably breed a whole forest in just a few days!” Raphael said with a frown.
"As for the Blood Pool, its recruited creatures are Blood Demons. As you can tell from the name, they are creatures belonging to the demon race. They exist between light and darkness, and in many planes that have not been invaded by darkness, the demon race is the darkness of this world!"
"There are simply darker existences. In most planes, the demon race has become a relatively bright existence. However, this cannot ignore the drawbacks of the demon race, namely, the possibility of them turning against you at any time!"
Races with dark attributes, such as the Demon Race and the Abyss Race, do indeed have great drawbacks, just as Raphael said. However, as Ye Chen looked at the spark of civilization in his hand, a thought flashed through his mind: perhaps this spark of civilization can shine with a different kind of brilliance on the Primordial Star.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I know about this and will keep an eye on it. If I have the opportunity, I will find a way to sell it!" Ye Chen nodded and smiled at Raphael and the others.
Hearing his words, the others breathed a sigh of relief; they were genuinely worried that Ye Chen might have used those two items himself.
"Ye Chen, you are a new lord unlike any other before. You have a bright future ahead of you. There is absolutely no need for you to risk everything for such a clan. You have better options. I am still waiting for you to lead us into the darkness!" Raphael said earnestly. Ye Chen's heart was moved. He could feel the sincerity in the other party's heart. Several sixth-tier peak lords really thought so.
"You're too kind, seniors. I also look forward to the day when I can fight against the darkness alongside you again!"
"Hahaha! No need to get excited, the fire here is almost out. We can get ready to go to the next place. We didn't exert ourselves this time and had a good rest for most of the day. Now we can properly loosen up our muscles!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get ready to leave! We'll leave this to Lan Ling to clean up!"
