Bi Fang led a number of phoenixes and nine primordial mechs into the darkness, and unsurprisingly encountered strong resistance.
They originally thought that there were almost no high-level dark creatures left, but whenever they found a place of the world's origin, a large number of high-level dark creatures would rush out to intercept them.
The origin of the world has no substance; it is an illusory matter, which could be a tree, a pebble, a rabbit... or it could be a powerful artifact, an ancient vessel, or a mass of invisible energy...
When the entire world has been destroyed and no matter exists, these remaining primordial elements become especially conspicuous, particularly since they have been contaminated by dark energy.
At this moment, they were like those powerful dark creatures, with a large number of low-level creatures gathered together, acting as a leader.
Indeed, this is the case. The invasion of dark creatures requires great power. Therefore, these world origins, after being corrupted, are often transformed into powerful dark creatures, guarding a region of the world and protecting the rear base of the dark creatures.
Due to the world's limitations and yearning for the origin, they cannot leave this small world like other dark gods, nor can they truly rule over dark creatures in place of the dark gods. However, their strength is still not to be underestimated, and they are coveted by other dark creatures.
Devouring the origin of a world is a great temptation for dark creatures, as it can rapidly and significantly enhance their strength. However, in dark origin worlds like this, the origin of the world is strictly restricted, so even if those dark creatures want to, they dare not actually devour it.
Moreover, the dark creatures evolved from the origin of the world are often extremely powerful, and ordinary dark creatures are no match for them. Even dark gods must be on high alert, as rashly engaging in war with them would be a losing proposition.
"Chirp~~~" Peak of the sixth rank. This is the most powerful dark creature that Bi Fang and the others have faced. Their strength changes with the strength of the creatures in the world. However, with the death of several dark gods and even a large number of high-ranking dark creatures, the strength of the dark creatures they evolved has also declined. But the peak of the sixth rank is still a very powerful existence.
Moreover, they have the ability to mobilize the energy of the entire world. If they cannot be suppressed in one go, they will be caught in a long war of attrition and eventually be dragged down by them.
Therefore, the battle between Bifang and the others can be described as extremely difficult. Not only do they have to resist the huge number of dark creatures around them, but they also have to launch their strongest attacks to defeat the enemy in one go.
The phoenixes fought against the dark creatures all over the world, the roar of the mechs' cannons echoing constantly. The terrifying firepower quickly made Bifang and the other phoenixes change their strategy, concentrating their strongest attacks and charging towards the dark creatures that had evolved from the origin of the world under the cover of the mechs' firepower.
"Boom~~~" Flames rose in the darkness, the scorching flames of the phoenixes burning. The powerful dark creature was quickly incinerated, leaving only a ball of pure black energy.
This is the origin of the world after it has been corrupted by darkness. It will take a lot of time and effort to purify the dark energy within it before Ye Chen can completely control this energy and thus take control of the entire world.
"Send this energy back for purification, then we'll head to the next place!" Bifang ordered, and the three Xuan Birds flew back towards the direction of the Primordial Star.
The Phoenix Clan is peace-loving. Although the Black Bird is stronger than the Bifang, the warlike Bifang is more aggressive in war, so many Phoenixes are happy to obey its commands.
As for the world's primordial energy, it is scattered in every corner of the world, and it is not just the little bit they have just conquered. If Ye Chen wants to completely control this small world, he must obtain enough world primordial energy.
Only in such a world would there be remnants of the dark origin. The primordial power in most worlds has been completely devoured by darkness, and the entire world has long since collapsed.
Having obtained the first clump of world origin, Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had someone place it on the planet where the four-leaf clover was located and began purifying it. This was also a long process. Even if he truly mastered this small world, there would still be a faint dark power in the origin, requiring periodic purification.
"It seems I'll have to stay here for quite some time!" Ye Chen looked at the purification speed of the world's origin, rubbed his temples helplessly, and suddenly felt that since he came out of the Time Cave, time had become cheap, with months or even years passing by in the blink of an eye. However, the speed of this change in time was accelerating at a predictable rate.
"Perhaps I should start writing a diary? Or a yearly journal? Otherwise, it always feels like time flies by in the blink of an eye!" Ye Chen thought with a touch of melancholy, suddenly wondering, what if next time, in the blink of an eye, hundreds or thousands of years have passed? By the time he returns to Earth, everything will have changed beyond recognition?
For the first time, Ye Chen felt panic about this future. It was a fear of the loneliness of a long life. He couldn't even imagine what he would be like if Fatty, Jian Mengyi, and the others died one after another because of the war during this journey.
Perhaps, like most lords, he and his kin will one day perish in the struggle against darkness?
Or perhaps, like Elder Qin, he could leave his territory to guard the darkness, return to Earth alone, and live the life of an ordinary person.
Thinking about it this way, compared to those powerful awakened ones, the lord is undoubtedly still lucky. At least he has his own kin to accompany him through endless years, as long as he either dies in darkness at the end of time.
And those awakened ones who reach the pinnacle, aren't they truly alone? They have no kin who firmly believe in them, no relatives or friends who grow up alongside them; all that's left for them is the endless darkness of the universe.
In this light, the lord might actually be considered lucky!
"Heh, ordinary people or lords are all thinking about how to survive? How to survive better? But I'm here savoring the loneliness. Isn't that a bit pretentious? It's as if anyone can guarantee that they will survive in the darkness forever!" Ye Chen suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling that he was being a bit of a worrier and sentimental. How to survive was the real question that most lords were thinking about.
