With the Black Emperor Dragon slain, the crisis at the rear was basically resolved. A day later, Hua Xiyu successfully killed two more late-stage seventh-tier dark gods and led everyone back to the peaceful star field.
"The crisis here has been resolved. The remaining task of eliminating the dark creatures is up to you! We also need to get back; Blue Star needs people in the rear!" Hua Xiyu said to the other commander.
"Thank you very much. Leave the rest to us. We believe the adults will send you the appropriate reward in a while!" The commander of the Blue Spirits was a sixth-tier lord. He was not weak, but without Hua Xiyu, he would definitely not have been able to defend the rear.
The alliance between the two planes is ultimately for the sake of resources. It's impossible for them to ask others to come and help for free. The lord of the Blue Spirit Plane will inevitably have to give up some resources in this interdimensional war.
"Then please thank your commander for me. The battle is urgent, so I won't stand on ceremony and will head back now!" Hua Xiyu nodded with satisfaction. Having gained an extra sum of money, this trip was definitely worthwhile.
May you rest in peace!
Numerous teleportation lights shone again, and all the Blue Star lords returned to their rear. After several days of travel, they came back to find that the changes in the star field were not significant; the eradication of the dark creatures was not a matter of a day or two.
“Raphael, we need someone in the rear who can oversee the whole situation. You were in charge here before, so you should stay here and make sure to stabilize the chaos here!” Hua Xiyu said to Raphael.
Upon hearing this, Raphael didn't stand on ceremony and immediately agreed.
Although the gains and opportunities from clearing out dark creatures in the rear are far less than those on the front lines, someone still needs to be here to oversee things; it's a responsibility.
After the incident with the Dark God, the strength of the dark creatures in the rear star field has greatly increased. Low-level lords alone are no longer enough to deal with them. Some mid- to high-level lords are needed to save the day, and Raphael and others at the peak of the sixth rank are just right.
"Then I'll leave this place to you. We still have to rush to the front lines and can't stay here any longer. If you have any questions, you can send me a message!" After handing over the matters here, Hua Xiyu gave Raphael her final instructions.
Without lingering for long, Hua Xiyu quickly led everyone away, leaving Ye Chen and the others alone in the star field. Fortunately, after sending a message to Fatty and Wang Xinghe, the two of them arrived quickly. Accompanying them were many other managers who were originally in charge at the rear, all of whom had been summoned by Raphael and the others. They needed to understand the situation here and take over the overall coordination work as soon as possible.
However, Ye Chen was stunned when he saw the people who came with the fat man.
"How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?" Jian Mengyi looked at him with a smile. To Ye Chen, it had been decades since they last met, and she was still as beautiful and charming as she had been back then. But to Jian Mengyi, even counting the Time Rift, it had only been a little over a year.
"I'm really surprised. How did you get here?" Ye Chen replied with a smile. Having spent thirty years in the Time Cave, he had become much more mature and composed. At least he wasn't as excited as he used to be, and he couldn't even remember the other person's face clearly. Time would fade everything.
"Hehe, after I got back, I told my parents about you, and then when I found out you were coming to the Maya Plane, I came with Senior Hua Xiyu!"
"It's a pity you left too quickly a few days ago. I just got in touch with Fatty when I heard that you went to support Lan Ling, so I have to continue waiting here!"
"Thank goodness you're finally back safe and sound!" Unlike Ye Chen's calm demeanor, Jian Mengyi was overjoyed. Seeing Ye Chen return safely, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Hmm, I'm sorry to have worried you. I never expected that a new lord like me would end up supporting the Blue Spirit Plane!" Ye Chen smiled helplessly, but he was still very touched. Feelings may fade with time, but they don't disappear. All it takes is a small spark to reignite them.
"Doesn't that just prove how outstanding you are? You're already a mid-level lord who can go and support other planes, while I'm still just a new lord. I'm only level 2, not even as good as Fatty. You'd better take good care of me!" Jian Mengyi said with a hint of disappointment. She didn't expect that she, a proud lord, would suddenly be so far behind Ye Chen.
"No problem. It will probably take quite a while to clear out the darkness in the rear, which will be enough time for you to grow!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Absolutely!"
Their oblivious conversation left the fat man feeling melancholy. He couldn't help but miss Si Meng, who was far away on Blue Star. As the main person in charge of Duobao Trading Network, he wondered how she was doing lately. Was she eating well? Was she dressed warmly enough? Was she cold at night? Did she need a fat man to warm her bed?
Given Ye Chen's strength, Raphael and the others naturally wouldn't assign him too many tasks. They simply let him act as he pleased and contact them if needed. Compared to other mid-level lords, this was much easier and freer for him.
Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony and left with Fatty and the others. Instead of rushing to wipe out the dark creatures, he found a relatively safe place to sort out his recent gains and rest.
Yes, whether it was Zhulong or the familiars in the territory, they all experienced fierce battles when they went to support Lanling. Even following behind Raphael and the others' familiars was not easy. Therefore, the familiars looked exhausted and were in dire need of rest.
At the same time, Ye Chen also needed to sort out the gains of this trip. He gave a lot of things to Fatty, Zhou Wenbin and others, especially the billions of merit points, which were exchanged for a large number of territory foundation stones, allowing them to expand their territories. They expanded their territories one by one to the size of the peak of the third tier before stopping, and the merit points consumed were only a little over a billion.
Over the next two billion, Ye Chen exchanged for many rare items from the Maya Plane, including rare herbs, mineral veins, and technological formulas. These items were all extremely expensive, especially a sixth-tier mineral vein, which directly cost Ye Chen 1.3 billion merit points. However, with the existence of this mineral vein, Ye Chen's territory would have a continuous supply of sixth-tier ore, which could be considered a necessary investment.
In the end, only a few hundred million points were left to exchange for energy crystals, and the rest were converted into resources for the territory, and the development of the entire territory once again entered a stage of rapid progress.
