The ascent of the three-legged golden crow filled everyone with awe and warmth.
At that moment, the coldness of the deep darkness and the gloom and despair in my heart were swept away and replaced by love and hope for life.
Although still enveloped in dark energy, no one will be affected by the dark aura anymore; the sunlight is enough to dispel all darkness!
"This? This? This is too amazing! Is it also one of your familiars?" Shi Mingxu asked in astonishment. The other lords also looked over, staring at Ye Chen with surprise, waiting for his answer.
"This is a three-legged golden crow, which is itself an incarnation of the sun, similar to Ra, the sun god among the creator gods!" Ye Chen explained with a smile.
The myriad races of the primordial era did not appear in the myths and legends of the people, but Ra did exist. Although there are very few legends about Ra, and no one has actually possessed it as their own kin, the phoenix associated with Ra has been passed down through the ages and has become the kin of many powerful lords.
The phoenix belongs to the West and is similar to the phoenix in the East, but most Western phoenixes are evil, which is completely different from the phoenix. Moreover, the two also have great differences in their bloodline attributes.
As for the three-legged golden crow, it was a divine bird that they had never even heard of. Being able to become the incarnation of the sun was comparable to a creator god in many myths and legends, but in the primordial world, it did not even reach the position of a saint.
"Too powerful!" Whether they were new lords or sixth-tier lords, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, their eyes fixed on the three-legged golden crow in the starry sky, wishing it could be their own kin.
"Lord Ye Chen, why don't you summon a few more of these divine birds to purify the surrounding dark energy?" Jiang Qin, the only female lord among the seven, asked in confusion.
A lord's retinue is usually not a single individual, but a group, so it is only natural that people would assume that the Three-Legged Golden Crow is a group, which is indeed the case, but this group is rather rare.
"The Three-Legged Golden Crow was recruited through the Bloodline Crystal and mutated under the influence of my Lord's Talent, making it impossible to replicate!" Ye Chen shook his head and explained, "Not only that, my Lord's Talent is somewhat special. Many of the clans in my territory have unique mutations. Although they are powerful, it is difficult for them to form a unified race! If there is an opportunity in the future, everyone will be able to see them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the mutation of the bloodline crystal was indeed difficult to replicate, let alone the mutation caused by the influence of the lord's talent.
Even if the same bloodline crystal is found, it is not certain that it can mutate again, otherwise Ye Chen would not only have this one three-legged golden crow.
As for what his lordly talent is? No one would be foolish enough to keep asking; it's a secret among all lords.
"That's such a pity. If there were more of these divine birds, they could even breed a whole colony. That would truly be a blessing for the lord!" one of the lords exclaimed, no longer foolishly pressing Ye Chen about his lordly talent. The topic ended there.
Everyone looked at the sun in the sky with envy, feeling the light, heat, and warmth emanating from it.
With the Three-Legged Golden Crow present, everyone's companions can now freely reside in the starry sky. Of course, this only applies to companions of the fourth rank or higher. Those below the fourth rank cannot stay in the starry sky for long periods of time, and this has nothing to do with dark energy.
Strangely enough, Ye Chen and his group spent a day setting up defenses, but they did not see a large-scale attack from the Dark Serpent People. However, as the Three-Legged Golden Crow took off and began to dispel the dark energy within its many kin, they discovered that the army of Dark Serpent People had begun to appear.
Clearly, they had discovered Ye Chen and his group's defenses, which was why they planned to use dark energy to buy time. However, with the appearance of the three-legged golden crow, they realized that this delay was pointless and had to change their original plan to launch an attack.
The wisdom of the Serpent People instilled fear in many lords; their tactics and strategic awareness were beyond the comprehension of ordinary dark races.
"Hmph! If they had come earlier, they could have caused some trouble. Now that the basic defenses are almost complete, it's too late!" The fat man sneered as he looked at the snake-people emerging from the darkness.
Building a defensive line in the midst of chaos is the most difficult thing. Now, by waiting patiently for them to set up their plan for a whole day, it's already too late.
With the basic defenses in place, they had a base and the most basic ability to resist. As time went on, the fat man could continue to improve these defenses. If he was allowed to work on them for a few more days, he could probably wipe out even a seventh-tier snakeman.
"To deal with intelligent races, we must use the same methods as dealing with intelligent races. The reason we didn't let the Three-Legged Golden Crows take to the air before was to prevent them from discovering too early that we could resist the darkness's erosion. Now that the defenses are in place and the Three-Legged Golden Crows can take to the air, they see that the dark energy can no longer hinder us, so they have no choice but to launch an attack ahead of schedule!" Ye Chen explained with a smile.
If it were an ordinary dark creature, he wouldn't have considered this method; he would have already sent the three-legged golden crow flying away. However, ordinary dark creatures wouldn't think of retreating first and then encircling and attacking, so this method wouldn't be useful.
"Brilliant!" Shi Mingxu and the others couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Putting aside their combat strength, their tactics alone were enough to convince them.
"Prepare for battle! Dark energy is starting to surge within the spatial rift!" Ye Chen glanced at the spatial rift and said with a solemn expression.
Hearing his words, everyone nodded silently, focusing their attention on the defensive line they were responsible for. Ye Chen and Fatty had already provided them with an excellent fighting environment and weapons, and no one wanted anything to happen to the place they were guarding.
The Dark Serpent People were very fast, and they arrived at the outermost defensive line in just a few tens of minutes. Although it took a long time, this was in the boundless starry sky, where even the speed of light seemed incredibly slow. The fact that they were able to arrive so quickly was the result of using a lot of space travel magic.
Snake people are capable of magic, and are extremely powerful.
"Boom!" As the snake-men at the front line entered the firing range, the energy cannons that first came into contact with them had completed charging. Nearly a thousand energy cannons fired simultaneously, including a large number of special interstellar missiles. Instantly, the entire starry sky was brightly lit by the explosion, and countless snake-men were turned into mincemeat in the bombardment.
However, this time the snake people came with overwhelming force, and such dense artillery bombardment could not stop their advance. Many powerful snake people warriors stood at the front, holding up huge magic shields to resist the attack, and quickly rushed into the defensive line.
