Although the fat man was greatly discouraged, he was still happy to go to other lord planes with Si Meng after confirming that he was no longer needed. The fat man was actually quite good at market development, but he had always been held back by Ye Chen in scientific research.
Soon, only Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi remained on Blue Star's side, quietly enjoying this rare time and spending all their time with their child, even though they both knew that this time would soon come to an end.
A week later, news finally arrived from Elder Qin's side: the situation in the Demon Flame Plane had been basically sorted out, and the supporting lords had already arrived. Ye Chen could continue to stay on Blue Star for a while longer; flying to the Demon Flame Plane was not an option.
However, despite saying that, seeing the tense situation in the Demon Flame Plane, Ye Chen found it difficult to live peacefully on Blue Star. Various things about the Demon Flame Plane flashed through his mind from time to time, and the worries in his heart never subsided.
"Should I go and take a look?" Ye Chen said. Not only him, Jian Mengyi was just as worried as he was.
"It's all over, and there's been no news at all. Am I just going to be left alone on Blue Star, worrying every day?" Jian Mengyi said in a muffled voice. Although she was worried, she didn't really want Ye Chen to go. At least she had someone by her side for now.
Hearing this, Ye Chen sighed slightly and didn't bring up the topic of going to the Demon Flame Plane again. He stayed with the mother and daughter, keeping a close eye on the messages coming back from the Demon Flame Plane.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. For a lord, this amount of time was probably not even enough for a trip through the stars. Therefore, no new news came back from the Demon Flame Plane, and the crisis of Demon Flame seemed to have subsided.
This is also a common occurrence in interdimensional wars. The situation in a single dimension can change over several years, or even decades or centuries. After such a long time, when later generations hear about it, they may be completely bewildered and have no idea about the events in that dimension.
However, this was not something they could control. The Demon Flame Plane was now sealed off, and sending messages out would be very costly. Therefore, they could only wait patiently. In contrast, Fatty and Simeng had good news to send back first.
The two of them had already taken over a lord-level plane, and the other party had ordered ten Eternal Silence machines from them. At the same time, they allowed the Multi-Treasure Trading Disc and the Primordial Armor to be traded in their plane, but mechs were still not allowed, especially high-level mechs, which were absolutely not allowed to be sold before authorization was obtained. The various planes never relaxed their defenses against mechanical life.
"Having Duobao Trading Network and the Primordial Armor is enough. The main thing is Duobao Trading Network. As long as we can open up the market, the profits it will bring will undoubtedly be huge!" Ye Chen shared with Jian Mengyi as he looked at the information. This was one of the few pieces of good news in the past year.
"I don't understand these things, you can decide! I never intended to take those shares anyway, you have enough money for your daughter's milk powder!" Jian Mengyi said nonchalantly. She hadn't been involved in the territory's affairs for the past year, focusing instead on spending time with her child, and both of them had slowed down considerably.
“That’s definitely enough! By the way, what kind of talent do you think she will awaken in the future? Will she be your angel or my primordial army?” Ye Chen teased Ye Meng and asked Jian Mengyi. They had discussed similar questions many times before. It wasn’t about getting a result, but rather about their expectations and hopes for the future.
"It's best if it stays with you! After all, you're the fastest person to advance to a high-level lord!" Jian Mengyi said.
"Maybe they'll merge? Hahaha!"
The two chatted casually, a routine they had maintained for the past year, focusing all their attention on Ye Meng in order to forget the guilt they felt towards the Demon Flame Plane.
"Mengyi, I still want to go to the Demon Flame Plane!" After Ye Meng fell into a deep sleep, Ye Chen finally couldn't help but say it.
"Over the past year, neither you nor I have been able to put our minds at ease. We have to get over that hurdle in our own hearts, don't we?"
"Leaving aside your family, we can't just stand here and watch those lords who have shared life and death with us for decades, can we?"
Ye Chen's words made Jian Mengyi tremble. She lay on the bed, quietly holding her child, tears welling up in her eyes.
A muffled sob broke the silence. "I know you've been worried, and I've been worried too, but she's still so young! Can we wait two years? At least until she can call you 'Dad'!"
"Okay~~~Okay~~~" Ye Chen hugged the mother and daughter tightly and stopped talking.
The moonlight was bright, and time flowed like water. The growth of an infant is fleeting. It only took about two years for her to go from a single wheel to a four-wheel drive, and then from a four-wheel drive to a two-wheel drive. When she uttered her first "Papa," Ye Chen was excited, but at the same time, he and Jian Mengyi also knew that they didn't have much time left to stay on Blue Star.
However, neither of them spoke up, both wanting to indulge in the mortal world a little longer, even if it meant staying just one more day. Unfortunately, news finally came back from the Demon Flame Plane, which had been silent for three years.
"How did it go?" Jian Mengyi asked anxiously as soon as Ye Chen returned from Elder Qin's place. Although she didn't want Ye Chen to go there, she was still very concerned about the news from the Demon Flame Plane.
"The situation is alright, there's been some damage, but nothing serious. It's just that I probably can't stay here any longer!" Ye Chen said softly.
"The situation on the Demon Flame Plane has stabilized for the time being, but we must reclaim one of the dark sources as soon as possible. Otherwise, as that newly formed dark source continues to grow stronger, the lord's side will once again fall into a disadvantageous position."
"Grandpa and the others need to send another seventh-tier lord over to help them deal with it as soon as possible. Elder Qin plans to arrange for two high-tier lords to work together to reclaim the Demon Flame Plane in one fell swoop in a short period of time!"
At this point, Ye Chen paused slightly, "I applied..."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jian Mengyi paused slightly, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged him, leaning quietly on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I understand! When are you leaving?"
"We'll have to wait for the other seventh-tier lord to be recalled, probably within a month!" Ye Chen also raised his hand to hug her, his tone filled with reluctance. No matter how quickly he could subdue her in one go, the time required would still be measured in years. He would never see Ye Meng grow up.
Jian Mengyi nodded. "Spend more time with her this month! After all, she'll be a grown woman by then!"
"good!"
