"Don't overwork yourself, we'll hold the line!" Jian Mengyi comforted him from the side. Since Cheng Yechen took over the rear defense, even while staying in the Time Cave, he hadn't had a proper rest for many days, with a dense stream of requests for help waiting for him to handle.
"Hmm, how's Grandpa doing? When are you planning to make your move?" Ye Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, a hint of fatigue flashing in his eyes. Even though a lord has an endless lifespan, it's inevitable to experience mental fatigue if he doesn't rest for a long time.
"Judging by the time, we should be arriving at the designated location soon. He said he would take action immediately upon arrival, which would cause an uproar throughout the entire Dark Source, increasing the pressure on our side!" Jian Mengyi came up behind him and pressed the acupoints on his head to make him feel more comfortable.
Grandpa Jane is heading to the source of darkness. Once he launches an attack on the source of darkness and repairs the space, the entire source of darkness will inevitably riot. Whether it is attacking his territory or Ye Chen's rear defense line, both of them will face enormous pressure.
"This hasn't even officially started yet! We've already sent out almost all of our demigod-level familiars!" Ye Chen sighed. To deal with this crisis, he had deliberately left Nuwa and Houtu in his territory. Whether it was to support Grandpa Jian or to deal with the impact of the dark creatures on his own side, they needed a sufficiently powerful familiar to cope.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Before Grandpa left, he had already mobilized all the lords in the surrounding area and even sent messages to other Dark Source outposts. Soon, their lords will also come through the stargate we built. We'll definitely be able to hold out!" Jian Mengyi comforted him.
With the Stargate of their Duobao Group, it is very convenient to provide support from various planes. Although high-level lords cannot leave at will, sixth-level lords can come through the Stargate. Even if only one-tenth of the sixth-level lords come from a garrison, it can double the number of sixth-level lords here, which will definitely not be a problem to resist the impact of dark creatures.
"I hope so!" Ye Chen nodded. More and more sixth-tier lords were coming into his communication channel, which made it easier to deal with the situation ahead.
At this moment, he finally understood why, despite having so many seventh-tier lords, it was so difficult to get their support. Just like back in the Maya Plane, the entire rear was supported by Raphael, a sixth-tier peak lord. It wasn't that he was being arrogant; he simply didn't have the resources to spare.
Now, he only hopes that the clansmen in his territory can grow up quickly through the recent wars, so that they will have a greater chance of surviving in the wars to come.
Even on the primordial planet, death is inevitable when facing the Dark War. Although every war has been won, the number of people who have sacrificed their lives is also considerable. Ye Chen can only try his best to reduce their casualties, but to truly survive, one can only rely on one's own strength and experience.
In subsequent calls for help, Ye Chen gradually stopped sending out his own clansmen. Instead, he dispatched the sixth-tier lords who had reported to him and were on standby. They also had a considerable number of seventh-tier clansmen, which was sufficient for carrying out some rescue operations. He would only take action when they encountered a dark god of the mid-seventh tier or higher.
Unfortunately, this period of peace was short-lived. As the war broke out on Grandpa Jane's side, the dark creatures throughout the entire starry sky rioted. Countless dark creatures, guided by the dark gods, swarmed towards Grandpa Jane's side, trying to stop his actions.
Such a large-scale operation naturally threw many ordinary lords who were out fighting and had not received the news into disarray. The dark creatures that charged in didn't care who they were; anyone who dared to block their way was an enemy and would be killed without hesitation.
Ye Chen's communicator immediately exploded with countless requests for help. All the sixth-tier lords stationed nearby sprang into action. Even those lords who had just arrived from other star regions received rescue missions before they could even say a word.
"Zhulong, go to Grandpa Jian's place and see how things are going there. See if he can hold out. Make sure you're safe!" Ye Chen said, heading towards Zhangwei Mountain.
The large-scale riot of dark creatures has cut off communication signals to Grandpa Jian's side. Ye Chen and the others are also very worried about whether he can withstand such a terrifying beast tide. This is not a war between one or two dark gods. It may affect hundreds or even thousands of demigod-level powerhouses. Even if Grandpa Jian is a veteran seventh-level expert, he will probably feel immense pressure.
"Roar~~~" The figure of Zhulong slowly emerged, without saying much, and with a low roar, disappeared on the primordial planet.
With mastery over the rules of space, the Candle Dragon possesses the most elusive speed of all the Familias. Its ability to control day and night also allows it to effectively restrict enemies, making it arguably the strongest scout.
"Using a late-stage seventh-tier demigod for reconnaissance, you're probably the first lord to do so!" Jian Mengyi teased with a faint smile.
"If it can survive and completely purify the darkness here, I believe it would be willing to go even if it were at the late stage of the seventh rank, or even at the eighth or ninth rank!" Ye Chen said calmly. At present, only Zhulong can go deep into the beast tide to find out the situation.
After speaking, Ye Chen continued with his military deployments, while Zhulong traversed the starry sky, heading towards Grandpa Jian's location.
As he left the Primordial Star, and even beyond the star field where the Primordial Star was located, the number of dark creatures around him suddenly increased. Countless low- and mid-level dark creatures were directly turned into blood mist and dissipated into the starry sky under the pressure of his powerful divine might.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many powerful dark creatures. Unfortunately, since the gods did not appear, no one dared to challenge his power. In addition, his extreme speed of constantly jumping through space meant that he quickly disappeared from the sight of these dark creatures.
The closer they got to Grandpa Jane's location, the denser the surrounding dark creatures became. Eventually, each time Zhulong traversed between reality and illusion, he had to kill a large number of dark creatures to clear a place for himself to settle down. The endless starry sky was already densely filled with dark creatures.
Meanwhile, the appearance of Zhulong finally attracted the attention of the dark gods passing by. At this moment, all the dark gods who came out from the source of darkness were converging here, wanting to devour the person who repaired the spatial rift. Therefore, there were quite a few dark gods around, and several dark gods had already rushed towards Zhulong.
