Ye Chen's words did not completely put everyone at ease. The lords who came to provide support were all incredibly powerful, yet none of them could truly solve the problem here.
Ye Chen didn't argue about it; a little reassurance was enough. As fellow lords, no one would truly entrust their life and death to another.
"You will all be under Fatty's command, and your clans will be organized into a unified army!" After chatting with several lords, Ye Chen said in his group.
The newcomers were not very strong. Apart from a few lords like Lin Zheping, their strength was mostly below the third rank. They hadn't even transformed their territories into planets, let alone fight the snake people.
Therefore, Ye Chen needed to assign someone to coordinate their few mid-level clans so that they could get a share of the spoils in this war and at the same time gain some experience.
Although the few mid-level clansmen under their command had gained considerable experience in the trial space, the long time spent in the Time Cave and the experience they had gained were far inferior to that of a real interplane war.
"But they're facing such powerful dark creatures as the Dark Serpent People right from the start, they'll have a tough time!" Ye Chen thought to himself as he watched the fat man in the group making various arrangements.
The power of the Dark Serpent People far surpasses that of ordinary dark creatures. Even if they only follow behind and pick up the scraps, they will likely suffer considerable casualties. However, if they can accelerate the growth of their clan and rapidly increase the strength of their territory, it would be worthwhile.
Next came a series of preparations for the battle. The Dark Serpent Men did come to harass them a few times, but unfortunately they did not gain any advantage and instead lost a lot of manpower.
About a day later, everyone was ready, and the army began to march toward the space node. The Dark Serpent People seemed to realize that the lords were coming in a fierce manner and began to launch a large-scale interception.
"Let's begin according to the original plan!" Ye Chen ordered in a deep voice. At this moment, there were countless projections of lords around him, and everyone seemed to be sitting together, watching this war in the starry sky.
"Roar!" Countless powerful demons with overwhelming killing intent rushed out from the primordial planet and fought against these dark serpent people.
These are all demons that Ye Xi found and counted. They usually commit many evils on the prehistoric land and harm many living beings.
If these practices were merely a matter of natural selection among organisms, Ye Chen wouldn't pay much attention to them. However, these powerful demons have damaged the local environment, preventing the ecosystem from developing normally, which is something Ye Chen cannot allow.
There are no humans on the current primordial land, and the Wu tribe only lives in the Eastern Continent. Therefore, the idea that demons harm people does not apply to the current primordial planet. The so-called demons are just killing other spirits and monsters. To put it bluntly, it is still the survival of the fittest.
Although they exuded a murderous aura, they were still quite different from true demons. Ye Chen also hoped that they could develop into a true demon race, a race that was no weaker than the witch race. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, there were still legends about demons.
However, Ye Chen showed no mercy to these demons who had destroyed the earth's ecosystem. This was similar to how the Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world judged merit. It depended on whether your actions were beneficial to heaven and earth. If you killed those who deserved to be killed, you would receive merit. At this moment, he was the Heaven of the prehistoric star.
"So powerful!" Many people were surprised to see the group of demons emerge from the primordial planet. The demons looked fierce and their strength was extremely powerful. Moreover, they were a completely different race from any they had seen before.
Many of the new lords who came with Ye Chen had only seen Ye Chen use clans like the Witch Clan before. The Demon Clan was a race that had never appeared before, which was quite surprising.
As for the strength of this group of demons, those who have committed numerous evils and still survived must all possess some kind of skill, making them at least much stronger than ordinary spirits and witch warriors. As for their strength, those that Ye Xi has his eye on are basically all above the fourth rank, making them suitable as cannon fodder on the front lines.
Moreover, in order to motivate these demons, Ye Chen even promised to reward them according to their merits later, and even grant them their own race and territory.
They were all originally spirits and monsters. After killing and drinking blood, they became addicted to the rapid increase in strength and could not extricate themselves. But that did not mean they were content with this. Now they were just getting by, living one day at a time. Who knows when the primordial planet would no longer have a place for them and they would be killed by Ye Chen.
Hearing that they still had a chance to clear their names, and might even be better off than before, not only being rewarded for their merits but also having their own unique race, the demons were instantly excited, wishing they could kill the dark creatures in the starry sky on the spot and accumulate enough merit for themselves.
To this end, Ye Chen made some slight modifications to the rules of heaven and earth on the Primordial Star, creating the merit reward. Any life that makes a great contribution to the Primordial Star can receive merit rewards, which can make them cultivate faster on the Primordial Star, obtain certain privileges, and even other benefits.
These things should have been done by the Hall of Merit of Heaven and the Underworld, but Ye Chen thought about it and realized that the two of them were just keeping records. The real effect would come from the merit of Heaven and Earth, so he simply made it happen in advance.
Surprisingly, the rules of the Primordial Star were also significantly improved as a result, bringing him one step closer to the seventh rank.
"Roar~~~" A million demons charged forward, and the roars of beasts echoed continuously in the starry sky. Although not as fierce as the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, it still brought considerable trouble to the Dark Serpent People.
However, they were ultimately just cannon fodder sent out by Ye Chen. Behind them were the Witch Clan, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Rakshasa Clan, with heavenly fire, wind and rain, and weapons from the Rakshasa and others. The dark snake people who had just rushed out were immediately overwhelmed and scattered.
This scene stunned the sixth-tier lords who were originally stationed there. "Are we fighting the same kind of dark creatures? Is this some kind of absurd? How much effort did they expend to kill a small squad? You just crushed them?"
As Ye Chen's clan charged, the vanguard of the Dark Serpent People was thrown into chaos, suffering heavy casualties and hindering the advance of the Serpent People behind them. The entire Serpent People army was thrown into disarray.
At this moment, everyone was overjoyed and looked at Ye Chen's projection in surprise. Judging from this, could he really handle this spatial node?
