"My lord! The latest news is that the ghost ship has changed direction!" Ye Xi flew in from the Primordial Star with a joyful expression and reported to Ye Chen.
"Really? The ghost ship changed direction?" Ye Chen was startled and immediately stood up, making no attempt to hide his joy.
The ghost ship's condition hadn't changed much in the past few days, and he had already prepared to evacuate everyone. Unexpectedly, he finally received news that the ghost ship had changed course.
"Yes, the ghost ship has changed course, and I believe Ye Jun and the others will be back soon. This crisis is over!" Ye Xi was equally overjoyed. She knew very well the psychological pressure the ghost ship had put on everyone during this period. Now they could finally relax a bit. Although there were still endless dark creatures rioting, the situation was gradually stabilizing as more and more sixth-tier lords came to their aid.
"Good! Not bad! Have someone keep an eye on them. Once there's news about Ye Jun and the others, notify me immediately. Also, have the Dragon Clan prepare to head directly to the direction of the Ghost Ship to meet Zhulong and the others. Turning the Ghost Ship around is no easy task, and no one knows if there will be any accidents on the return journey! Bah! I'm such a jinx, there definitely won't be any accidents!" Ye Chen slapped his mouth in annoyance.
"Okay! I'll go arrange it right away!" Ye Xi said with a smile, knowing that he was also worried about the others, so he didn't linger and turned to continue making arrangements.
There are quite a few people remaining on the Primordial Star. The Ghost Ship crisis has led Ye Chen to gather many of them back, so he can now spare some manpower to meet Zhulong and the others. Having accomplished such a major task, their own energy consumption must be extremely high. In the midst of war, no unexpected situations can be allowed to occur.
Indeed, just as Ye Chen had foreseen, when Zhulong and the others escaped from the ghost ship, everyone was almost exhausted. Even Ye Jun, the so-called source of energy, felt extremely tired, and the light and heat he emitted dimmed a bit.
The remaining beings, whether it was Fuxi who was supporting the Zhou Tian Star Array or Zhulong who was leading everyone through space, both seemed to be in a state of near exhaustion and could fall into a deep sleep at any moment.
The sixth-tier members of the clan were staggering and falling, some even unable to resist the call of the ghost ship and trying to turn back, but were held back by their companions and ran out of the ghost ship's influence.
Fuxi glanced back into the distance and saw that the ghost ship was heading in the direction of the source of darkness. He could only hope that Grandpa Jian could handle this hot potato. The best outcome would be to let it return to the source of darkness. Ye Chen sent a message to Grandpa Jian as soon as he received the news.
Upon seeing this news, Grandpa Jian was immediately shocked and also greatly impressed by the power of Ye Chen and his clan. If this ghost ship was aimed at him, he probably wouldn't have a way to deal with it.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
Grandpa Jane thought to himself with relief, and then sent a message to the other seventh-tier lords. The matter of the ghost ship could not be concealed. Since dark civilization tools had appeared here, other sources of darkness might also have similar possibilities. It was necessary to take precautions as soon as possible.
Upon learning of the appearance of tools from the Dark Civilization, the hearts of all the high-ranking lords sank.
"Roar~~~" Just then, the Four Seas Dragon Clan arrived outside the ghost ship and encountered the appearance of Zhulong and others. They had just escaped the ghost ship's coverage area when they were attacked by a group of dark creatures, and many of them were seriously injured.
Even with a demigod unleashing divine power to intimidate the dark creatures, the group's insufficient energy made it difficult to completely subdue them. In particular, after several rounds, they seemed to have discovered the god's lack of combat power, and many dark creatures took advantage of the gaps in the divine power's intimidation to launch sneak attacks, causing the group great distress and even delaying their return journey.
"We're here!" shouted Ye Ao, the Dragon King, who was at the head of the group. He was extremely excited to be able to come and rescue Zhulong, who was considered his ancestor.
All the dragons scattered and fought with these dark creatures. Although they were a race of beings on the primordial planet who controlled the clouds and rain and ruled the four seas and rivers, they were still just a race of beings on the primordial planet. If we were to take them out, let alone the dragon race, their combat power was even comparable to the descendants of gods, that is, the creator races. These ordinary dark creatures were no match for them at the same level.
"Thank you!" Ye Jun said. With the support of the Dragon Clan, everyone's tension immediately eased. Many people fell into a coma on the spot, and at least half of the team had completely lost their ability to move.
The dragons didn't stand on ceremony and immediately arranged for their juniors to carry them on their backs. After clearing out this small group of dark creatures, they led everyone back towards the Primordial Star.
Meanwhile, the lords in this star system also received the news that the ghost ship had changed course, the crisis was over, and everyone was overjoyed, falling into a brief period of celebration, followed by an even more active campaign to exterminate the dark creatures.
Even the tools of the Dark Civilization could be repelled by the new demigod lord, let alone these ordinary dark creatures. If they can't even handle them, how can they face Ye Chen?
As the members of the clan returned, Ye Chen was astonished to see them all unconscious. He had anticipated a great crisis and even considered the possibility of their demise, but he never expected that they would all return unscathed, and in such a state of near exhaustion.
It's fair to say that if he hadn't arranged for the dragons to meet them, they probably would have perished on their way home.
Moreover, not only that, there were five demigods when they went out, but only four have returned. Ye Chen had a bad feeling.
"My lord, we are powerless to destroy the ghost ship. We had no choice but to change its course and send it back to the source of darkness!" Ye Jun, the only one whose mental state was "still good," reported back. As for the others, they immediately went into hibernation after returning to the Primordial Star.
"No! You've done a great job! If there's nothing urgent, go and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow!" Ye Chen comforted him. Ye Jun's exhaustion was hard to hide; this was the first time he had ever seen Ye Jun look like this.
If even he was like this, then the others were even worse off, which explains why they fell into comas one after another as soon as they returned.
