"Roar~~~" Beast roars echoed continuously in the starry sky, and a chilling aura emanated from the direction of the spatial rift. Even though Ye Chen was already a seventh-tier lord, he still felt extremely frightened.
Over the course of several months, Grandpa Jane had completed most of the repairs to the spatial rift. Naturally, the dark creatures were unwilling to retreat so easily. The eighth-order dark god behind the dark origin roared incessantly, trying to tear the spatial rift open again.
However, it is not so easy to pass through a stable space. Otherwise, so many years would have passed and they still would not have the ability to truly enter the Demon Flame Plane. They could only increase the carrying capacity of the spatial passage by expanding the Dark Domain.
Now that the spatial passage has been repaired, it has become much more difficult for them to come over. Unless they are willing to risk being torn apart by space and force their way through, they can only wait for the spatial rift to be repaired.
"If you ask me, the things in this world that are least afraid of dark energy are time and space. Look, even when darkness surges, it still cannot interfere with the self-repair of space!" Ye Chen said, pointing to the huge spatial rift in the starry sky.
As the spatial rifts are repaired and the number of dark creatures decreases, their protective perimeter is also shrinking. Now, the protective perimeter is very close to the original danger zone. Across the vast and boundless starry sky, one can see the spatial rifts in the sky and many lords going to repair the space.
“But these two forces are completely uncontrollable! And isn’t the dark energy eroding space by space? Even if you create a completely new world, it won’t make a difference!” The fat man shrugged helplessly.
This kind of thing has happened before in other lord planes, but even new worlds created by gods with great power can still be corrupted by darkness, and it's even easier for them. The small worlds used to protect living beings are the best examples.
Space and time are formless and intangible; they are indeed not subject to the erosion of dark forces, but they themselves cannot influence or prevent the erosion of dark forces.
"Sigh..." Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. He knew the same thing the fat man was asking. But he was more curious about what darkness really was. Why, after countless years, had no one ever truly been able to solve it?
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Just relax and get through these next few months. This source of darkness should be completely shut down by then!" the fat man comforted him. This was the only source of darkness that was about to be repaired.
"That's true. How are things in other places? Especially that place with the tools of the dark civilization!" Ye Chen nodded and then asked.
"What else can we do? The Dark Civilization's tools have already entered space and are spreading darkness. The seventh-tier lords there almost lost their lives, and it's said that more than a dozen demigods have died. Allowing the Dark Train into space was the opinion of the other lords after discussions!" the fat man said helplessly.
We already know what that dark civilization's tool is: the infamous Dark Train, capable of freely traversing the starry sky, incredibly sturdy, capable of shattering anything it crashes into!
Fortunately, the lord was quite knowledgeable and knew about the strange effects of the Dark Civilization's tools. He didn't stubbornly use his territory to store them, otherwise he would probably be buried in the grave by now.
"It's been two months since it broke through the defenses, hasn't it? Have the lords taken any other action?" Ye Chen asked, frowning. Such a dark civilization vessel breaking through the defenses would bring a large number of dark creatures to the rear, which would be a devastating disaster for the ordinary beings there.
Moreover, the influx of such a large number of dark creatures, including many dark gods, could easily lead them to establish new spatial channels or even unleash new sources of darkness, which would have a huge impact on the entire battle.
They haven't even completely defeated one source of darkness here, and they're already going to build another source of darkness in the rear. What the hell is going to do?
"What good can we do? Everyone's in a mess, and now we're the only ones who can help!" The fat man shrugged helplessly. "It's said that there are two dark sources where the number of seventh-tier demigods has exceeded three digits. The seventh-tier lords there are desperately seeking help!"
Ye Chen rubbed his temples. The situation was much worse than he had imagined. Several dark sources had a ripple effect, and while this area was almost repaired, other areas had completely erupted into chaos.
However, he couldn't go to provide support in various places right now. After all, there were quite a few seventh-tier creatures rushing out from time to time, and he still needed to stay here to keep things under control. Otherwise, if it affected Grandpa Jian, all the work he had done before would probably be in vain.
The only saving grace was that the fat man's stargate technology played a huge role in this protracted war. If it weren't for the existence of the stargate, the defenses in many places would probably have collapsed by now.
"Tell me more about the bizarre characteristics of the Dark Train!" Ye Chen asked. He needed to think about whether he could deal with this tool of the dark civilization first. He didn't want to be betrayed in the end.
“Immortality, an attribute possessed by all tools of dark civilizations; secondly, solidity, solid enough to shatter everything; and then there’s traversal, corruption, imprisonment, and absorption!” the fat man replied.
The Dark Train has been around for so long that its characteristics have been thoroughly investigated. Unlike the Ghost Ship, the Dark Train's most notable feature is its sturdiness; almost nothing can damage it, and in comparison, the Immortal attribute doesn't even have a chance to be used.
It is virtually impossible to damage such a dark train from the outside. The only way is to go inside. But once inside, the attributes of corruption and imprisonment will become the nightmare of all living beings. In the end, they will be transformed into passengers of the dark train under the endless erosion of dark energy, becoming one of them.
As for the travel and absorption attributes, the former refers to the train's mobility, while the latter refers to the train's energy supply. Once inside the train, these two abilities don't need to be taken too seriously.
"I'll have Zhulong and the Twelve Ancestral Witches go with you. You two go and see if you can solve the problem with the Dark Train!" After pondering for a long time, Ye Chen finally spoke.
Over the past few months, he has spent over a hundred years in the Cave of Time. Apart from Houtu, the remaining eleven Ancestral Witches have also advanced to the seventh-order demigod level through constant battles. However, their power is not as strong as the others, only at the early stage level, but their combat strength is excellent. It should be enough for Fatty to deal with the Dark Train.
