"Hahaha! Brother Chen! Isn't Fatty cool? He blasted a Dark God to death with one shot! And it was a late-stage seventh-tier level! Hahahaha!" Before Zhulong could return, Fatty's triumphant laughter came through the communicator.
"Cool!" Ye Chen praised without reservation. This time, the fat man deserves the most credit for killing the Fallen Lich in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if the Candle Dragon had faced a late-stage seventh-tier Lich while exhausted, the chances of losing would have been much greater than winning, or even that there would have been no hope of winning at all.
Leaving aside the ultimate decisive factor of eternal silence, the newly developed space wormhole technology alone is enough to make Fatty leave a significant mark on the history of scientific research.
In this interstellar war, because the lords can freely travel through space, everyone is desperately developing their individual cultivation power, and very few people are truly dedicated to researching technology.
However, the technological system is actually comparable to the cultivation system. A powerful technological civilization can also possess unparalleled power. It's just that in the early stages of technological civilization development, a large amount of resources are needed, and the enhancement is not of its own strength but rather of so-called external objects. Therefore, after people in these star systems come into contact with the cultivation system, they quickly abandon technology and turn to the cultivation system.
Furthermore, in the early stages of technological development, it is easy to cause a lot of pollution and damage to the environment of one's own plane. Coupled with the high research and maintenance costs, this has led to the fact that the technological systems in various planes have not truly developed.
Occasionally, some planes that truly delve into technological systems appear, but compared to the vast number of cultivation systems, they are far too few to cause much of a stir.
"Hahaha! You're too kind! I, Fatty, have had my moment of glory, but it's a pity no little fangirls saw it! Life is as lonely as snow~~~" Fatty pretended to be smug with a melancholy look on his face, which made the two of them chuckle.
Ye Chen shook his head and did not stop him. This was indeed his moment of glory. The space wormhole technology, which had never appeared in the cultivation system before, and the super-energy-gathering interstellar energy cannon technology, these two technologies alone were enough to change the current landscape of the entire lord system.
Moreover, Ye Chen suddenly felt that perhaps there had never been a high-level lord advancement on the technology side before, but now there was a possibility of it happening again in Fatty's case. If things continued to develop in the current way, he might really be able to become a path that no one had ever walked before.
After glancing at the fat man's territory, which hadn't yet advanced to the fourth tier, Ye Chen decided to find some time to talk to him. After all, this concerned his future and required careful consideration.
"So what exactly is going on? Can you tell me now?" Jian Mengyi asked in surprise and helplessness. She felt as if she knew nothing, even though she was in the middle of a battlefield.
"Well, actually, this was inspired by Fatty after he obtained the skeleton of the Starry Sky Beast. In addition to the weapon Eternal Silence, there is also the space wormhole technology!" Ye Chen explained.
"Hehe! Let me tell you!" the fat man shouted excitedly. Ye Chen stopped with a smile, letting him show off.
"The Starry Sky Beast has its own internal space, but it also needs to use the ability of this space. However, the Starry Sky Beast's mind is not developed, and can even be described as dull. So how can it use this ability?"
"After my research, I discovered that there are special patterns on their bones. This is also the way most alien beasts use their abilities. By activating these patterns, even without knowing too much related knowledge and skills, one can easily use the corresponding abilities."
"So I had these patterns replicated. After continuous analysis, I finally obtained several different spatial patterns. The Starry Sky Wormhole is one of them, and it is also a weakened version of the Starry Sky Beast's ability to travel between planes!"
"..."
"Roar~~~" Just as the fat man was giving his long-winded introduction, Zhulong finally flew back from the starry sky. A ball of illusory soul fire was thrown directly into Fengdu City and fell outside the Gates of Hell.
This is the true spirit of the fallen lich. When he dies, this wisp of true spirit will return to the Soul Box and be reborn by the souls that split off from the Soul Box. But now this wisp of true spirit has been captured and brought back by the Candle Dragon.
Upon receiving Ye Chen's order, the strongest Horse-Face warrior emerged from the Gates of Hell wielding a Soul-Hooking Lock, grabbed the ball of soul fire, and headed towards Fengdu City.
The soul fire, which was almost dissipated, solidified again and gradually took on a human form.
He was a thin man with an extremely handsome face. His long, thin ears told of his former identity. It was just a mystery why an elf who worshipped nature and the elements would eventually become an evil necromancer, and even fall into darkness, transforming into a lich and a fallen lich.
Although Fengdu City is a ghost city, it also has the effect of nourishing the soul. The fallen lich's unconscious remnant soul gradually recovered and looked around blankly.
The gentle aura nourished his soul, gradually restoring his consciousness. He found himself walking on a road paved with bluestone slabs, with a towering and menacing gate in front of him.
"Me? Dead? No! I'm a lich, where's my soul box? Where am I?" The man couldn't help but mutter to himself. His memories from before gradually returned to him. He subconsciously wanted to stop, but he was caught by the chains in front of him and had no choice but to follow the tall and terrifying horse-headed monster toward the gate.
"Who are you? Where is this? Where are you taking me?" the man shouted angrily, instinctively trying to break free of the chains, but found that he could not muster any strength at all, as if he had become a fragile soul without any power, and could only let the other party pull him forward.
"Behave yourself! Stop shouting. This is Fengdu City, and you can't act recklessly here!" Horse-face turned around and shouted without any politeness. Once any ghost is locked by the Soul-Hooking Lock, it can no longer use any power. This is also a rule of magic artifacts in Fengdu City.
Once you enter Fengdu City, everything must be done in accordance with the laws of Fengdu City.
"You!" The man was about to speak when he suddenly froze. He hadn't noticed before, but now he felt his dark energy being rapidly purified, leaving only the purest soul energy.
Before he could examine it carefully, Horse-Face had already led him to the Gates of Hell. There were two teams of bull-headed warriors on either side, and they let him pass without much obstruction. They knew that this was a mission given by the lord and Zhulong.
As the man followed behind Horse-Face through the Gates of Hell, he felt a jolt throughout his body, as if he had returned to the moment he had just died and transformed into a lich. All time and space seemed to freeze for a moment, and then the whole world changed.
