With Hua Xiyu's return, the purification and extermination operations in the rear became smoother, while Ye Chen, Raphael, and others were handing over their work to others. Hua Xiyu decided to take a group of people back to the Blue Star plane.
She has been in the Maya Plane long enough, and has even completed the plane war in the main battlefield here. She still has more things to do. Although the seventh-tier lords are powerful, they often have to bear more wars.
As for the continued garrison work on the Maya plane, it was still handed over to Mars, that great traitor. After all, this was originally a battlefield under his command. It was already good enough that he wasn't punished when the fighting reached the point where support was needed; he could only stay here and make amends.
Fortunately, the lord has few ties to the planet other than Blue Star. His family, relatives and friends are mostly in his territory. Returning to Blue Star is just a way to look back at his homeland, a feeling of coming home often.
So for Mars, not being able to go back for a short period of time is just a matter of going home less often. They, as seventh-tier leaders, have been away for decades or even centuries and are already used to it.
Six months later, the entire rear area had been basically completed, and Ye Chen and his team had finished their handover. Everyone followed behind Hua Xiyu and opened the spatial passage again, heading back to the Blue Star plane.
"It's been decades, and we can finally go back!" In the territory, a group of awakened individuals sat outside the lord's mansion, raising their cups and gazing at the starry sky with emotion.
“Yes, back then, no one expected that so many years would pass after we came out of Earth, right? If we count the thirty years in the Time Cave, more than half of our hundred-year agreement has passed, hasn’t it?” Xia Qingyi, who was gradually becoming the second-in-command, said to Ye Chen.
"Haha! Well, who knows what will happen in a dimensional war? Besides, your strength is improving quite quickly!" Ye Chen laughed awkwardly, but what he said was true.
Over the past fifty or sixty years, Xia Qingyi and others have rapidly improved their strength. Even Wen Cheng, who mainly focuses on education, has reached the fourth rank, and Ye Chen, who mainly focuses on combat, has even broken through to the fifth rank.
The advancement of Awakened Ones is different from that of others. They are not limited by the growth of their territory. As long as they have enough rare and precious materials, they can grow rapidly. Of course, the growth of rare and precious materials is also inseparable from the development of the territory, but for Ye Chen's territory, it is enough for them.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Awakened individuals are often weaker in cultivation than people of other races, and relying on their own advancement is more difficult and risky. They rely more on rare and precious materials to improve their strength, and then accumulate combat experience through battles while digesting their own power.
It's hard to say which is better or worse; they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
"So, your one-year probation period was a trap from the very beginning!" Xia Qingyi rolled her eyes. Now that things were settled, there was nothing more to say.
"Hahaha! I think it's pretty good on Honghuang Star! I teach and nurture people every day, and I don't have to fight and kill. There aren't many territories that can find such a peaceful life!" Wen Cheng laughed loudly. His main job on Honghuang Star was teaching and nurturing people. Compared to the fighting and killing of others, he was indeed much more relaxed.
“Yes, my little animals are much cuter than the dark creatures!” Ding Siyin sniffed and said, holding up a pink rabbit in her arms. This was a new breed she had bred, the Pink Moon Rabbit, specifically for ornamental purposes. Of course, it was currently only allowed to live in Xiniu Hezhou.
"You live a comfortable life and are content with your lot. You are indeed doing better than most lords!" Tao Ping nodded in agreement, praising Ye Chen.
He had followed other lords and witnessed the lives of many awakened individuals in their territories. He could only say that it was far inferior to that of the Primordial Star. This was why many awakened individuals would rather risk forming their own expedition teams than follow a lord. Everyone wanted to live with dignity.
"Oh, you flatter me. I'll have to rely on you all a lot in the future! After all, the development of the territory depends on everyone. I'm just a lord, I can't do anything!" Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled apologetically, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"But to be honest, I really didn't expect that you, Lord, could actually place everyone in their proper positions so precisely. I never knew that a Qi Awakener with no combat ability could come and regulate the weather for the territory. This has probably never happened before in the history of the school, right?" Yu Hongzhe said again, his eyes full of respect as he looked at Ye Chen.
He was originally only able to manipulate some air currents, and had no combat power or use whatsoever. Therefore, he minored in a large number of general subjects, such as finance, management, cultivation, and languages. It can be said that he did his best in order to be chosen by the lord.
However, the result was not satisfactory. Until he was about to graduate in his senior year, no lord took notice of him. It was not until Ye Chen appeared that he realized that his insignificant talent could actually play such a big role.
"Hey! Don't say that. Everyone has their own talents, it's just that no one has discovered them yet. Look at the climate on the Primordial Star, if it weren't for you being able to regulate it so well, would you be able to do it so well?" Ye Chen comforted him, but Yu Hongzhe shook his head repeatedly.
"I dare not claim this credit. You know how powerful your dragons are. I was only of some use at the beginning. After that, the weather regulation was mainly done by these divine dragons. I was just following behind and taking advantage of the chaos! I hope that Lord will not kick me out!" Yu Hongzhe said nervously, just like when he was interviewing.
"Hahaha! Don't be nervous, your contribution is real. And now that we're here on Honghuang Star, we're all family. Don't say anything about kicking us out! As long as we're all working together for Honghuang Star, we'll be family forever!" Ye Chen patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Well said! Now that we've come to the Primordial Star, we're all one family! Let's toast to the strength of the Primordial Star!" Ye Chen shouted, raising his glass.
"Cheers to the might of the Primordial Star!" Everyone shouted, their resounding voices echoing outside the Lord's Mansion.
After drinking the wine in his hand, Ye Chen looked around at the people around him with a dazed expression. This was the original group of awakened people on the Primordial Star. They might recruit more people later, but they were definitely the predecessors of everyone.
For the lord, the status of the Awakened is different from that of the Families and the subjects. They are fellow countrymen who, like him, also come from Blue Star!
