Two months later, the spatial rift at the source of darkness was completely repaired, and the roar of an eighth-order dark god seemed to still echo in the starry sky, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
But that's no longer important. This is because the two sides are still very close in space. As time goes by and space repairs itself, this spatial passage will be completely closed, not to mention that Ye Chen and the others have worked together to completely expel this small section of space.
Next began a long journey of exploration in space. Apart from the lords stationed at the source of darkness, almost all the mid- and low-ranking lords were sent out to explore and patrol the starry sky to prevent the birth of new sources of darkness. This was a long process, and the lords planned to spend ten years completing the initial reconnaissance before taking action against the next source of darkness.
When Ye Chen heard the time, he was completely stunned. He had expected it to be a long time, but he hadn't expected it to be this long—ten years! This wasn't just in the Time Cave, but ten years in the main plane! Was he going to have to spend over three thousand years in the Time Cave? That was terrifying!
Fortunately, with the source of darkness resolved, the spatial blockade of the Demon Flame Plane was temporarily lifted, allowing some lords to temporarily return to the Blue Star Plane after inspection, while requesting more low-ranking lords to come and provide support.
After all, it's pointless to assign too many high-ranking lords to exploration patrols. It's better to use a large number of low-ranking lords, which is not only more efficient, but also provides a rare rest opportunity for these low-ranking lords.
“We old folks have discussed it, and you can go back to Earth for a year or two, stay there until the baby is born and settled, and then come back!” Grandpa Jian said to Ye Chen.
If nothing unexpected happens, their child should have been born by now. The war in the Demon Flame Plane is far more protracted than they imagined. You know, Grandpa Jian fought here until his son was born, his granddaughter was born, and now his great-granddaughter is about to be born. If it continues, they might still be here when Ye Chen's granddaughter is born. The length of time a plane war has lasted is a bit too exaggerated.
"Thank you very much!" Ye Chen said gratefully. It would be really difficult for him to continue wasting another ten years here at this time.
"Go ahead! Remember to bring back some photos for us old folks to see. Also, the space blockade will only be lifted for three days, so you'd better get ready as soon as possible!" Father Jian reminded him with a smile.
Ye Chen quickly relayed the message, instructing everyone to temporarily lift the state of combat readiness and return to the Primordial Star.
But before he could even settle in, the fat man had already run back ahead of him, ready to return to the Primordial Star with him.
"Damn it, I haven't seen my Meng'er in years, okay? I've already handed over the manufacturing method of the surveillance equipment to my subordinates. It's not that technically demanding. The most important thing is to keep control of the signal. I'll go back with you! Let's get some rest for two years!" the fat man muttered.
"But you need to know that the Dark Train cannot enter the Blue Star plane!" Ye Chen said, frowning.
On the Blue Star plane, no potentially threatening dark matter will be allowed to enter. Even if the Dark Train is a spoil of war captured by the fat man, he probably can't take it back. After all, no one knows if the dark creatures might have left any hidden tricks in the tools of the dark civilization.
"It's alright, I'll put my territory in a nearby plane and then return with your territory. I'll just have the people from Duobao Group keep an eye on it for me!" the fat man said nonchalantly.
This is also the usual practice for most lords. After all, if they stay in the darkness for too long, there will inevitably be some contraband in their territory. Since they cannot bring the contraband back to Earth, they can only leave it in the outer plane.
In addition, lords of the seventh rank and above, whose territories and their families are constantly at war, often leave their territories to return to Earth alone and resume a normal life, otherwise they are prone to mental problems.
Hearing what the fat man said, Ye Chen thought about it and saw no problem, so he nodded in agreement.
Fatty and Si Meng have indeed been unlucky. They haven't really spent much time together over the years. This trip back is a good opportunity to take care of things and see if Fatty can also leave behind a child or two.
Upon learning of this, the fat man's parents were overjoyed. Over the years, they had worried a lot about this matter. They were not lords and did not have the long lifespan of the fat man; they could only live a life of idleness and waiting to die in their territory.
Even with unlimited high-grade spiritual herbs to prolong their lives and enhance their strength, they are only at the late stage of the second tier. Their lifespan, even with the help of these herbs, is only a few thousand years at most. It seems like a long lifespan, but in reality, it can't even last for ten years in the Time Cave.
So many times the two elders wondered if they should return to Earth. As long as they didn't have to experience the time flow of the Time Cave, they could stay with Fatty for a longer time! But since they already possessed extraordinary power, they couldn't settle on Earth for long. They could only desperately improve their strength to increase their lifespan and live longer.
Now that they know Fatty is going back to see Si Meng, the two of them are unusually happy. If a child is born, their lives will have some hope. Not to mention, they can apply to stay on Blue Star to take care of the child for a few years.
"Son, go back and work hard so your father and I can take good care of your child on Earth for a few years! Look at Ye Zi!" Mother Wang earnestly advised.
"Okay, my goodness! You've been talking about it for two days now. I'm going to find Brother Chen right now, we're about to set off!" the fat man said with a bitter face, and ran off to dial Ye Chen's number.
Upon learning of the fat man's troubles and complaints, Ye Chen felt both helpless and envious. This was a warmth he had never experienced before. However, it was almost time for them to meet. The spatial teleportation function of their territory was activated, and the two of them left the Demon Flame Plane amidst a violent tremor.
However, shortly after they left, a terrifying dark aura erupted once again in a star field of the Demon Flame Plane. Countless low-level lords and their followers were swallowed by the darkness. By the time the news reached the high-level lords, the situation was already extremely serious.
The space of the Demon Flame Plane was sealed off once again, and the many lords were plunged into a new round of fierce battles, praying that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.
Of course, Ye Chen and Fatty were unaware of all this. After leaving the Demon Flame Plane, the two went straight to the surrounding planes of Blue Star, where people from the Duobao Group were already waiting to meet them. As for Si Meng, she was currently on Blue Star with Jian Mengyi.
