After hanging up the call with Hua Xiyu, he had a general idea of how to deal with those spatial nodes. To put it bluntly, he could only wait until they came out on their own, or until they were able to break in.
Receiving this result, Ye Chen felt helpless and could only vent his resentment on the dark creatures in the starry sky.
It took almost two days to wipe out all the dark creatures in the surrounding area, and Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi's defensive line was constantly moving closer to the source of darkness.
Nowadays, only a small number of dark creatures emerge from inside each day. With the end of the long war, there are very few dark creatures left inside, or they are newly born in recent days, and their strength is very average, extremely weak.
Some didn't even require Ye Chen to lift a finger; the moment they stepped out of the Dark Origin and onto the starry sky, they exploded. The cosmic starry sky, devoid of any air, is not a place that just any creature can set foot in.
"Finally done! Now we just have to wait for the dark energy to be purified. I estimate it will take at least twenty years!" Jian Mengyi breathed a slight sigh of relief after clearing out the surrounding dark creatures and said to Ye Chen.
The dark energy in the Dark Origin is extremely concentrated. It would take a long time to purify it using only the outer four-leaf clovers. Considering Ye Chen's current situation with tens of thousands of four-leaf clovers, it would probably take decades to obtain them.
"It won't take that long. What we have now is merit!" Ye Chen said with a smile. He raised his hand and threw out hundreds of millions of merit points. He bought back hundreds of thousands of four-leaf clovers and planted them all over a small island on the Primordial Star. The time required to purify the dark origin was reduced from decades to a few years.
"Rich and willful!" Jian Mengyi's lips twitched slightly, but she still approved of Ye Chen's approach. "However, this much is enough. Any more and the Dark Origin won't be able to dissipate its dark energy at the same rate, which would be a waste!"
"That's enough? Okay, that'll be enough for now!" Ye Chen nodded, speaking in a very irritating way.
"Just keep showing off!" Jian Mengyi pinched his cheek but didn't say anything more.
Indeed, as Ye Chen said, they are neither short of money nor merit.
The entire dark creature in the Dark Origin was killed. Not to mention Ye Chen, even she gained over a billion merit points. So, let alone Ye Chen, hundreds of billions would be considered a small amount.
In the following years, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi waited patiently for what felt like an eternity. They could have had several children by then, but they did not do so. Instead, they chose to purify, refine, forge, and study the corpses of these dark creatures.
After the endless corpses around them were purified of their dark energy, they were gradually moved to the two people's territory, either becoming fertilizer for the growth of their territory or research materials for various laboratories and magicians...
Over the years, Xiniu Hezhou has developed rapidly. With the help of the corpses of these dark creatures, everyone has grown and improved quickly, especially in industries such as forging, alchemy, and enchanting, which have seen leaps and bounds in growth.
Harold, now at Tier 4, had already donned a Tier 5 set. The silver-white chainmail suit, paired with his handsome and resolute face, made him a heartthrob among countless young women in the Mercenary Guild.
This is the latest equipment from the forging workshop, forged using rare demon rhinoceros leather and the essence of adamantite golems. Not only are its attributes top-tier among fifth-tier equipment, but it also comes with two set skills, one for attack and one for defense, each capable of unleashing the power of a peak fifth-tier item, making it extremely formidable.
Only five of these outfits were ever produced in the entire city of New Ani, which allowed Harold to show off his power.
Meanwhile, Lynn and the others, who had obtained a large amount of materials, were also conducting various studies with their respective magic students, striving to extract all the power from these materials.
In the process, they did indeed make a lot of research results, including new magic and new spellcasting materials, which enabled them to master more powerful magic and more varied spellcasting methods.
If Lynn were to step into the starry sky and fight another sixth-order dark creature, he might not be guaranteed to win, but his chances of winning would at least be greater than his chances of losing.
However, before Ye Chen could completely purify the dark source, Fatty and his twenty Star Spirits had already deciphered the first spatial node and truly come into contact with the dark energy inside.
Upon learning this news, Ye Chen dared not linger. He entrusted the source of darkness to Jian Mengyi for further purification, while he led all his followers to Fatty's location. At the same time, he sent a message to Hua Xiyu, informing her that Raphael, who had been waiting for orders for many years, had finally returned to the rear of the army.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that the rest and recuperation we had back here would be thanks to you, kid!" Raphael laughed as he looked at Ye Chen.
"Not at all! It's not that I lack the ability; I just encountered a tricky situation and had no choice but to ask you for help, senior!" Ye Chen replied with a smile.
He had only recently arrived in this star field. Looking around, he saw that over the years, the fat man had built a lot of defensive fortifications around the area. If the dark creatures were to descend, even without any of his kin, these fortifications alone could hold them off for a long time.
Especially the Eternal Silence, built on an abandoned planet, is currently facing the direction of the spatial node. If any dark god steps out, it can fire at this direction at any time.
"You've finally arrived!" Upon seeing the two arrive, the fat man rushed over and said, "The spatial node has been precisely located, and the intermediate space has been opened up. We can break in at any time, but we're unsure if the other side has discovered us, nor are we sure about the number and strength of the dark creatures. So, should we open this spatial passage now?"
"Open it! Of course open it! Otherwise, why would I come here?" Raphael chuckled, waving his hand. All the demigods in his territory were mobilized, floating in the starry sky. Not only that, but a large number of angels, elves, and other races rushed out of the territory, completely sealing off the vicinity of the space node, and were ready to fight at any time.
Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't hesitate, and the clansmen within his territory all came out to surround the spatial node.
As the interlayered spaces were opened up one by one, wisps of dark energy began to emanate from here. Although there wasn't much, and even a few four-leaf clovers could purify it, it was still a signal. If the dark creatures on the other side wanted to come over, all they needed to do was a thought.
"Alright! Get ready to open! I've had the final passage opened!" the fat man nodded and gave the order to the distance.
Instantly, twenty Star Spirits stood in the starry sky, their eyes slightly closed, chanting incantations. Numerous spatial fluctuations appeared around them, and a massive stargate was gradually opened in the dark universe.
