Not long after returning to Blue Star, Ye Chen visited Elder Qin. It could be said that his and Fatty's path to becoming lords had always been supported by this eighth-order true god, so the two of them always maintained the respect due to him.
"I really didn't expect that you would reach the advanced level in such a short time. If I remember correctly, you should be the fastest advanced lord in the history of Blue Star, right? As for other planes, there shouldn't be any geniuses like you!" Old Qin said to Ye Chen with a touch of emotion.
Even with the aid of the Time Cave, it would take at least a hundred years to reach the seventh rank. Only geniuses from powerful lord planes could become high-rank lords within a hundred years, but even they couldn't do it as fast as Ye Chen.
Based on current records on Earth, Ye Chen's advancement speed is truly unprecedented, making him the first person in history to achieve such a feat.
"Times are always progressing. Maybe it didn't exist before, but it definitely will in the future!" Ye Chen said, neither modestly nor arrogantly.
There are many people who are unprecedented, but there will always be successors; only in this way can the times progress.
"You rascal! You should be proud when you should be. At least this message will give the Blue Star Plane a greater advantage among the many Lord Planes!" Old Qin said with a smile.
At his level, in addition to fighting against dark creatures, he also needs to consider the interests of the entire Blue Star plane, improve the social status of the Blue Star plane among the many lord planes, bring greater benefits to the Blue Star plane, and cultivate more and more powerful lords.
"Old Qin is right!" Ye Chen nodded in response. Different levels offer different views. He had advanced too quickly, and what he was seeing so far was still the world as seen by ordinary lords. He had no contact with the overall structure of the lord plane, which was something he was indeed unaware of.
"Alright! Now that you have a child, stay on Blue Star for a few years. It's a good time to rest. Although the territory has been upgraded, the clan still needs to recuperate. When it's time to rest, you should rest more!" Old Qin said, but Ye Chen only had a bitter smile on his face.
"That probably won't work. We've just gained a slight advantage in the battle on the Demon Flame Plane. After a short rest, we have to head back. The lords there are waiting for us to come and completely defeat the Dark Source!"
Hearing this, Old Qin nodded approvingly, "Prioritizing the war is a good thing! But time flies, so you should spend more time with your family when you should. After all, time waits for no one, and before you know it, your children will be all grown up!"
"That's true, but I can't get over the thought of disregarding the lives of countless lords and their families for my own pleasure!" Ye Chen nodded, looking troubled. He knew that Elder Qin was just saying it casually, but whenever he thought about it deeply, there was always a hurdle in his heart.
"That's true. The war in the Demon Flame Plane has been going on for quite some time now, hasn't it? Is it finally coming to an end?" Elder Qin nodded and asked Ye Chen.
"Yes, when I broke through to the seventh rank, I worked with Grandpa Jian to take down a source of darkness in one fell swoop, which completely broke the balance between the two sides. As long as we continue, we can end the war!" Ye Chen nodded in reply. Hearing this answer, Elder Qin was even more surprised. A newly promoted seventh-rank lord could play a decisive role in the war for the source of darkness. It is clear that Ye Chen's foundation is very deep and he did not advance by force.
"Impressive! Much better than I was back then! Keep up the good work, I'll be waiting for the day you advance to the ninth rank and lead the Blue Star plane into darkness. I'll be your deputy then!" Old Qin made no attempt to hide his admiration, patting Ye Chen on the shoulder as he spoke.
Others might think he was just being polite, including Ye Chen, but only he knew that such a thing could really happen. When that time came, he might even be able to boast that he had patted a ninth-tier lord on the shoulder and given him a great deal of support.
However, just as the three were talking, the assistant suddenly came over and whispered something in Qin Lao's ear.
He was clearly a high-level Awakened One, with excellent energy control. Even with Ye Chen's strength, he couldn't hear what the other person was saying. Of course, out of politeness, he wouldn't take the initiative to inquire about such matters.
After hearing his report, Old Qin's face darkened, and he looked at Ye Chen and the fat man.
"We've just received the latest news: the Demon Flame Dimension has been sealed off again!"
"Uh, we know about this. The lockdown was only lifted for three days to give everyone a break and allow a new batch of lords to go over. It's about time for the previous lords to rest!" the fat man said first. Judging by the timing, the lockdown was about to be lifted again around this time.
"What you're describing is the normal situation, but I have another battle report here: a new source of darkness has been discovered once again in the Demon Flame Plane!" Elder Qin said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Chen and the fat man were immediately shocked. They had just emerged from the Demon Flame Plane, and yet they had already discovered a new source of darkness so quickly? It was as if it happened almost immediately!
"Are you sure? If that's the case, I have to get there immediately, otherwise, given the current situation in the Demon Flame Plane, we absolutely cannot hold it!" Ye Chen said urgently. He could handle the others, but Jian Mengyi's family had been very good to him lately, and he couldn't just watch them get hurt!
"Don't rush. The most important thing for a lord is composure. When you're in the Cavern of Time, you have plenty of time to make decisions, so you must never panic!" Elder Qin reminded him.
"I've already arranged for people to go and provide support for the Demon Flame Plane. I'll be sending another seventh-tier lord and several hundred mid-tier lords there. Also, let's assign this year's new lords to the Demon Flame Plane. Although it's a bit dangerous, it will help them grow faster!"
"As for the two of you, you should rest well on Earth for a few days and wait for my latest news. Then we'll see what to do."
"Besides, your Duobao Group has been in quite a bit of trouble lately. You should go and deal with it properly, instead of always being hands-off managers. Si Meng is no less busy than you!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen and Fatty could only nod silently. Rushing in rashly would not be very effective. As for the Duobao Group, Si Meng had not told them anything. Could it be that something had happened to the Duobao Group again?
The two looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.
