The fat man, along with Zhulong and the Ancestral Witches, did not return here, but went to support other places. Nine demigod-level powerhouses are a force to be reckoned with no matter where they are.
As for the dark origin on Ye Chen's side, it has been almost completely purified. It's just a matter of time before it's all gone. Ye Chen himself has already reunited with Grandpa Jian, and while fighting against the dark creatures, they are also helping to repair the spatial rift.
"It will be completely repaired in two months at most. The rest is about purifying the surrounding small spatial nodes and dark energy!" Grandpa Jian said, sipping his tea with a rare moment of ease. These past few months have taken a toll on him.
"It's said that the riots at other sources of darkness have subsided quite a bit recently, so it seems that the dark creatures are also planning to give up!" Ye Chen nodded and said.
The uprisings at other sources of darkness were intended to echo this one, to prevent this source of darkness from being repaired and disrupting the balance of offense and defense across the entire Demon Flame Plane.
Now that things are beyond saving, there's no need to launch such a large-scale dark uprising at other sources of darkness. It would be better to steadily open up spatial channels and pursue other plans.
"We still can't underestimate this. After all, the casualties among the lords in this round of riots are still quite high, and there are bound to be some gaps in their defenses. This will give the dark creatures an opening, causing them to find another place to reopen the source of darkness!" Grandpa Jane warned.
Ye Chen nodded silently. These were the experiences of the older generation of lords, accumulated only through numerous dark plane wars. The situation Grandpa Jian described was not unheard of; in fact, it was quite common, appearing frequently throughout the history of lord plane wars.
"Yes, the various lords have also reached an agreement. After our dark source is repaired, we will conduct a full inspection of the entire plane to prevent any dark creatures from secretly opening new dark sources," Ye Chen nodded in response.
"That's good. This has always been standard procedure. Let's see if we can keep a close eye on these dark creatures!" Grandpa Jane nodded. There are quite a few seventh-tier lords in the Demon Flame Plane. Not only does he know the things that need attention, but everyone else does too. Let's see if we can find those dark creatures in the end.
"I'll have Fatty rush to make a batch of surveillance equipment during this time. We'll distribute it throughout the plane during our inspections, which should relieve a lot of pressure!" Ye Chen continued.
However, it's unrealistic to have the fat man create surveillance equipment to monitor the entire plane. The resources and time required would be far too great. One surveillance device couldn't even monitor a single star system, let alone an entire region. It would only be a matter of luck. What if some dark creature happened to be seen passing by?
"Sigh~~~" Grandpa Jian knew that the monitoring was not very useful, so he could only sigh. He wondered how long this interdimensional war would continue. Not to mention the Demon Flame Plane, even if they really saved the Demon Flame Plane and returned to Blue Star, there were still countless planes waiting for them. In the end, they would still fall in one of the interdimensional wars. Perhaps this was the final fate of the lords?
"Grandpa Jane, what exactly is inside the source of darkness? Can we go through the source of darkness and reach the end point directly, solving the problem at its source?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the increasingly smaller source of darkness in the starry sky.
This kind of lordly life left him with no hope for the future. The darkness was endless, and no matter how many years he tried to fight against it, he had never truly succeeded. At best, he could only keep his own plane from being swallowed by the darkness.
But can it truly be protected forever? If the lords couldn't repel the darkness during their heyday, there will always be a time of decline. When that time comes, who will be able to protect their plane from the encroachment of darkness? And how many planes will fall because of this?
Leaving aside the distant past, the Demon Flame Plane beneath their feet was once a major force in the fight against the dark forces, but now it has fallen into darkness, with only a few star fields still clinging to life. But what if they didn't receive support from the Blue Star Plane? Would they have been completely annihilated?
"The source of darkness... no one knows?" Grandpa Jane shook his head. "Do you know about the Holy Light Plane?"
"Yes, it's said to be the origin of angels, and they have a lord of the ninth-order supreme god!" Ye Chen nodded. This plane is very famous among all planes because they are powerful enough.
"Indeed, they do have a ninth-order supreme god, and the holy light power they wield is the nemesis of all dark creatures!" Grandpa Jane nodded, very satisfied with Ye Chen's erudition.
"But it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a supreme god of the Holy Light plane went deep into the source of darkness, wanting to completely eliminate darkness from its source. However, for nearly ten thousand years, no one has ever seen him come out. But among the dark creatures, a group of angels with black wings appeared, a brand new kind of dark creature!"
Ye Chen's pupils contracted slightly. The Holy Light Plane is known as the origin of angels, and their distinctive species is the powerful race of angels. However, just because this supreme god entered the source of darkness, a brand new kind of dark creature has appeared among the dark creatures. This is truly terrifying.
"Fallen angels are also a type of angel, and they can even return to the light and become the lord's kin. But few people know that the origin of this race is in the darkness. Didn't expect that, did you?" Grandpa Jane looked at Ye Chen and smiled bitterly.
"I really didn't expect that. I thought fallen angels were angels who had fallen into the abyss and monsters!" Ye Chen shook his head.
“That’s not wrong either. They’ve all fallen anyway. Whether they’ve fallen into the abyss, the devil, or the darkness, it doesn’t matter. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why fallen angels can become the lord’s kin!” Grandpa Jane said. “Actually, there are quite a few creatures like this. For example, fallen liches, abyssal dragons, and so on. They are all species that have once ventured deep into the darkness. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to completely influence their racial roots with the power of the abyss and monsters alone!”
Ye Chen was horrified. He never expected that so many dark-type familiars had evolved from being corrupted by darkness. No wonder most lords didn't like these familiars and were worried that they might rebel. It was because they had truly fallen into darkness.
"So, stop thinking about the source of darkness. It's a problem that even a ninth-tier supreme god can't solve. We seventh-tier lords don't even have the right to look at it. Just focus on purifying the darkness. Maybe one day we can really wear down the darkness and completely defeat it!"
