Over the next few days, Ye Chen and the others stayed here, gathering information about the Demon Flame Plane while trying to win over Jian's mother.
Three days later, a group of mid-to-high-level lords returned, including Jian Mengyi's father, grandmother, and her seventh-level demigod grandfather.
The group treated Ye Chen with great courtesy. After all, he was now the person in charge of Duobao, and his status was completely different from that of the new lord back then. Even Jian Mengyi's grandfather had to treat him with respect.
However, they still went to her grandfather's planet and had a meal together, so they could be considered family.
Compared to the rest of her family, her grandfather's territory was the only one that was not an angelic sanctuary, and his familiars were not primarily angels, but rather holy dragons of the same light attribute.
This can be considered the most elite race among dragons, an existence infinitely close to the primordial race, even stronger than the golden dragons with the bloodline of the dragon god.
"I heard you can handle a seventh-tier demigod?" Jian Mengyi's grandfather asked Ye Chen at the dinner table. Most of the high-ranking lords had heard of this rising star in recent years.
"Well, I've just entered the seventh rank. It won't be easy to get any stronger, and I can only deal with one at a time!" Ye Chen said modestly.
"Hahaha! You're good, you're much better than her father was back then! I bet it won't be long before her father is no match for you!" the old man laughed loudly, which made Jian's father next to him turn pale.
Although they are called old people, Grandpa Jian is not old at all. The three generations at the table look like a group of teenagers having a meal together, but each of them is actually over a hundred years old.
Even Ye Chen, though only a few decades old according to the age calculation on Blue Star, is almost two hundred years old in the Time Cave.
"I'm just lucky. My uncle is still going strong, I can't compare!" Ye Chen laughed, but everyone knew that this was just a humble remark.
"Don't flatter me. It's a good thing that the new generation can be swept away by the tide. It means that the lord is progressing and becoming stronger!" Father Jian said in a low voice. Although his face was dark, he still acknowledged Ye Chen's strength.
In fact, even if a lord has difficulty conceiving, he can still have a large number of offspring over countless years. The fact that Ye Chen is sitting here having dinner with them is more due to their potential and strength. Otherwise, ordinary children and descendants would not be worthy of their attention. In the world of lords, strength is paramount!
"Since you've come all this way, and with so many people, it seems you're not planning to go back anytime soon, are you?" After a few rounds of drinks, Grandpa Jian asked Ye Chen.
"Yes, that's right. They've brought a group of newcomers, and we plan to train them in the Demon Flame Plane!" Ye Chen nodded.
“That’s perfect. A spatial node has appeared in the Nora system. I won’t arrange for anyone else. You can take your people there directly?” Grandpa Jane asked, pointing to one of the star systems after turning on the star projection.
“Sure!” Ye Chen looked at it and then nodded in agreement. A new spatial node was indeed a good place for him to hone his skills. The large number of dark creatures would allow these newcomers to see what a real interdimensional war was like, and at the same time, he would have enough ability to deal with various crises.
"Alright, I've sent the coordinates to your communicator. Once you get back, set off as soon as possible. There aren't many lords there, and the situation isn't looking good!" Grandpa Jian said with a stern face.
"Grandpa! I want to go too!" Jian Mengyi pouted and said coquettishly. Her father would scold her with a stern face, but her grandparents would spoil her unconditionally. Since there was no danger, she nodded in agreement.
After a satisfying meal and a chat, Ye Chen and the others returned to their respective territories. In the era of lords, even family members would not easily stay in each other's territories for long.
After returning to their territory, Ye Chen rested for only one night before leaving with everyone early the next morning. The interdimensional war was fraught with danger at all times, and setting off earlier could potentially save more lives.
Seeing everyone leave, Grandpa Jian and the others in their respective territories nodded silently. They were good sons-in-law, not seeking comfort but rushing to the front lines of the battlefield. They were excellent in both character and strength.
"Brother Chen, are we the only ones left to defend that star system this time?" As soon as they flew out of the space passage, dark creatures began to attack. The fat man looked at Ye Chen speechlessly and asked.
"Pretty much. There will be some low- to mid-level lords, but we'll be the main force!" Ye Chen nodded. There were quite a few of them, so naturally the higher-ups wouldn't send any more people. Only a few scattered free agents would come, but there certainly wouldn't be many.
"Alright! You'd better take it easy then, those mechs aren't fixed yet!" the fat man said helplessly.
"..."
Those mechs are expensive to build and require a lot of time to repair. It won't be a matter of just one or two days; it's unlikely to be ready for at least a month or two.
"It's alright. If another seventh-tier dark creature comes, let Zhulong take it on!" Ye Chen said. This is no longer just training like before, but a proper interdimensional war. It's always better to end it as soon as possible.
Dark creatures appeared frequently along the way, but Ye Chen and Fatty did not make a move. They let Zhou Wenbin and the others lead the group of newcomers into battle. Having experienced the war in the Maya Plane with Ye Chen, they had accumulated a wealth of combat experience.
The new lords initially looked down on them, these low-level lords, but after the great battle upon entering the Demon Flame Plane, everyone was convinced of their superiority.
"Grandpa also sent over the information. The dark creature in this spatial node is a kind of creature called a basilisk. It has a human head and a snake's body, and four arms. It is almost invincible among its peers. In other planes, there have even been eighth-level beings!" Jian Mengyi said, flipping through the information her family had sent her.
"Serpent monsters? Invincible among their peers? Then let's use them to test our skills!" Ye Chen said thoughtfully. To this day, no race has dared to claim invincibility among their peers in front of the Primordial Clan.
However, he had heard of the basilisk, a dark creature. It was indeed a dark creature more powerful than the Dark Predator and the Dark Demon, and it was extremely intelligent. It was not something that ordinary lords could deal with. They often had to use a higher-ranking member of their own clan to fight against it, and there would be a lot of casualties.
"Let's be careful, don't crash!" Jian Mengyi reminded her solemnly.
Ye Chen nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he wanted to use the other party to test the waters, he would not be careless or underestimate his opponent. He had to be responsible for the lives of all his clansmen.
