"I'll leave this to you! I'm taking a group of people to the next spatial node. Also, I heard that the dark energy is quite strong near Senior Raphael's place recently. If nothing unexpected happens, the Dark God will appear. I'll be keeping a close eye on that area during this time. If there's any news, send me a message immediately!" With a hundred starships entering space and inflicting a devastating blow on the dark creatures, Ye Chen felt relieved and began preparing to head to the next spatial node.
The original plan with Raphael was to open one space every six months, but this space passage took almost a year before mid-level dark creatures started emerging. Ye Chen was worried that something might have gone wrong, so he waited and didn't rush to open the next one.
Now, mid-level dark creatures are starting to emerge from here, and Raphael's end is also drawing to a close. It's time to open the third spatial node.
"Alright, go ahead without worry. The Protoss have already located the coordinates and are just waiting for you to arrive! As for this place, Senior Raphael will soon send a demigod-level familiar over, and I'm already a fourth-tier lord, so you don't need to worry!" The fat man waved his hand and said.
Over the past few years, Fatty's territory has successfully entered the fourth tier. He ultimately chose the planetary development model, but his planet is not like Ye Chen's, which is mainly composed of jungles and oceans. Instead, it is a barren wasteland planet.
There isn't much vegetation or ocean on it; the planet's resources are mainly various minerals, making it not a truly habitable planet.
However, on this planet, many eco-mechanical cities have been created by humankind. These eco-cities are covered by a protective dome, containing a complete ecological cycle, green vegetation, and blue oceans, forming a stark contrast to the desolation outside the cities.
But it was precisely this kind of planet that Fatty actually promoted to the fourth tier, something that even Ye Chen hadn't expected. According to his original plan, he only wanted Fatty to transform the territory into a large starship so that his many kin could live inside. He never expected that the result would be that it would be transformed into the real wasteland planet in his memory.
Overdeveloped technology has completely destroyed the planet's ecology, leaving humanity to eke out a living in the shield of eco-cities. Yet, the technology that has reached its peak is enough to sustain their lives and interstellar warfare, and may even eventually transform the entire planet into an eco-city.
This thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind, and he knew that the fat man's path forward was now clear.
While the wasteland planet may lack ecological resources, it is exceptionally rich in mineral resources. This would allow Fatty to conduct his technological research, and ultimately, he could transform the entire planet into an eco-city. That would likely be Fatty's path to godhood.
It sounds simple—just expanding an eco-city to an infinite degree—but in reality, it's not that easy. It will take the fat man a very, very long time to find his own path.
In contrast, Jian Mengyi's territory followed the path of the Holy Temple as expected. She did not choose a planet or a flat, round sky like Raphael's, but instead, it was like a special starship that spanned the starry sky, with a huge holy sword shape, but covered with layers of land and vegetation.
It can travel through the starry sky like a starship, and has a complete ecological environment like an ordinary planet and territory. This special shape was finally created by countless angel lords and is one of the few territories with a special race shape.
Such territory is not suitable for the survival of other races, but it is most suitable for the survival of the Angel race and its subordinate races, and has its own unique characteristics.
"Is it really a good idea to open a new spatial node now? I'm afraid a dark god will emerge from Raphael's territory soon!" Upon arriving at the new spatial node, Jian Mengyi looked at the Protoss race opening the passage, her tone tinged with worry.
"This should be considered the best time, right? After all, the dark creatures that come out when the spatial passage is first opened are usually the weakest. As long as we stabilize the situation temporarily, we're actually fine, aren't we?" Ye Chen smiled and comforted him.
"But what if a powerful dark creature emerges from the very beginning?"
"That depends on fate. If we can really hold on, the next few years will be much easier!" Ye Chen said with a relaxed expression, showing no sign of tension. "Besides, we have the Primordial Mechs and the three hundred starships that Fatty got. What's there to be afraid of?"
As Ye Chen spoke, he pointed to the interstellar fleet stationed outside Tianzhu Mountain, which did indeed reassure people quite a bit.
Unfortunately, often the good predictions don't come true, but the bad ones do; such jinxes can happen anywhere!
As the two were talking, the Protoss in the distance opened a spatial passage, and a massive surge of dark energy erupted out. The power was so great that even with the protection of the Blackbirds and angels, the entire team was scattered. If the Blackbirds hadn't brought them back immediately, many goblins would probably have been left here forever.
Ye Chen, who was chatting with Jian Mengyi, was suddenly stunned. Even across the distant starry sky, he could feel something was amiss, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"Holy crap! Could it be that you were right? We're so accurate? One shot, straight to the heart of the enemy?" Ye Chen exclaimed, looking at Jian Mengyi beside him with a strange expression, only to receive a pair of eyes rolled to the sky in return.
However, the jokes were short-lived. Ye Chen quickly got into the zone and began to coordinate the surrounding situation. He ordered the low-level lords who were originally stationed at the front to retreat, and dispatched three hundred starships in one go. His fire crows and phoenixes also circled around.
The sudden tension startled everyone. They had all been transferred from Fatty's side, and this drastically different start made everyone feel tense. Things not going as usual often meant unexpected changes and a lot of casualties.
Raphael, who also received Ye Chen's message, was also stunned. He was waiting for the other side's Zhulong to come and provide support, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to dig up the other side's lair directly. It was likely that the dark gods on the other side would come out before his own. He was both amused and exasperated, but he could only make preparations according to the previous plan.
"Roar~~~" A roar came from the spatial passage, accompanied by an extremely terrifying dark aura. Even from a great distance, the low-level lords in the distance were also shocked. Just this energy level alone was several times stronger than the fat man's spatial passage. The strength of the dark creature that came out was also conceivable.
