"Roar!" Even after escaping from the small world, Ye Chen felt as if he could still hear that huge roar of the beast. He felt dizzy and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, he finally understood why everyone was so terrified of the eighth-order dark god. It seemed like only a one-level difference, but the gap between them was even greater than the difference between the first and seventh orders.
The true god who holds the rules is powerful enough to change everything through those rules. Calling a deer a horse and turning beans into soldiers are no longer just legends and idioms, but things that can actually be done.
Who says gravity always goes downwards? Changes in the rules can make gravity go upwards.
Who says water can put out fire? Maybe someone will just reverse that rule for no reason.
In the fantasy setting of the Lords' Era, the power of the gods is immense, which is why technology struggles to truly develop—because the gods are capable of altering the rules.
"Are you alright?" Hua Xiyu's voice rang out in the communicator. She was directly enduring the impact of an eighth-level True God's consciousness. If it were an ordinary mid-to-low-level lord, they would have been turned into an idiot long ago. Only a seventh-level lord could withstand it for a while with his own powerful strength.
"Not bad!" Ye Chen shook his head, his vision gradually returning. This was the biggest blow he had suffered since becoming a lord, and the power of the eighth-order dark god was completely engraved in his heart.
"That's good! We're out now, and the other lords are nearby. I'll bring them in!" Hua Xiyu continued.
To rescue them, one or two lords alone would not be enough. A large number of lords had already gathered around, including three seventh-tier lords, who were fighting against the endless dark creatures in the starry sky.
Although the spatial passage has been closed, there are still quite a few dark creatures around. However, as long as everyone is safe, it's just a matter of time. These are dark creatures that were mobilized to hinder everyone from stabilizing the spatial passage. Their numbers are limited, and they can be cleared away in some time.
Therefore, the lords seemed much more relaxed and greeted Ye Chen one after another. Among them was Grandpa Jian, who immediately joined the rescue team after learning that Ye Chen was trapped.
"Hello everyone! Long time no see!" Ye Chen smiled as he looked at the many familiar faces after the communication was connected. These were mostly lords who had guarded the Dark Origin with him before. They knew each other very well, and he could even remember the names of some of the more powerful lords.
"Boy! You! Just stay out there and take good care of my great-granddaughter. Why did you come back? Did you ask us to come and rescue you for nothing?" As soon as he saw Ye Chen's projection, Grandpa Jian scolded him impatiently. It seemed like a reprimand, but anyone could tell that he didn't want Ye Chen to come in and risk his life.
"Alright, Jian Quan, do you think we can't see through your little scheme? You're worried your grandson-in-law won't be able to get out of here, aren't you? Don't worry, he's very capable!" Hua Xiyu teased with a smile.
Jian Quan is the name of Grandpa Jian. He is younger than Hua Xiyu, so there is no need to address him as a senior. Hua Xiyu directly addresses him by name. After all, Blue Star Plane is only a new lord plane, and Hua Xiyu, who is over three hundred years old, is a senior in the entire Demon Flame Plane.
"What do you mean?" Grandpa Jian said awkwardly with a smile. The others just smiled without saying anything, too lazy to point out his thoughts.
"Grandpa, don't worry, everything has been arranged on Blue Star. I was just worried about you, so I came in to see you in place of Mengyi. Besides, now that I'm out, Mengyi is qualified to stay on Blue Star for twenty years and can watch Ye Meng grow up and become a lord!" Ye Chen dared not laugh at others, so he bowed and said.
He knew that Grandpa Jian was just worried about their safety and didn't want him to get involved in the mess of the Demon Flame Plane any longer, as his life would be in danger at any moment. But he and Jian Mengyi couldn't just sit on Blue Star and watch helplessly. They had been living in constant fear for the past few years.
"Alright, alright! Send me a picture of my great-great-granddaughter. Don't let me not recognize her when we bump into each other in the starry sky!" Grandpa Jian was embarrassed by the ridicule of everyone and immediately shouted at Ye Chen. Only a father-in-law could command a seventh-level lord like this. Grandpa Jian's status was much higher than that of his father.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded and sent over Ye Meng's photo, which immediately made the other party overjoyed.
"Alright! Are we going back or not? If we keep watching, by the time your great-great-granddaughter arrives, she'll probably have grown up so much that you won't recognize her anymore, right? Hahahaha!" A seventh-tier lord who was traveling with us laughed loudly.
"Go away! Get lost! This is blood ties! No matter how much it changes, I can still recognize it. You old ghost, don't even mention a great-great-granddaughter, do you even have a granddaughter? You're just jealous!" Grandpa Jian said arrogantly, then turned around and went to find Grandma Jian with the photo.
Even if you are of a higher rank than the other party, sometimes you still have to flatter them, because of the power of bloodline.
"What's the current situation in the Demon Flame Plane?" After joking, Hua Xiyu asked the other lords. They had just arrived in the Demon Flame Plane, and their main task was to understand the situation here. This was also what Ye Chen was most concerned about.
"We've already sent lords in to provide support, and the situation is basically stable now. However, we still need your help to launch a counterattack against the source of darkness. We're also increasing our patrols of the plane to prevent any new sources of darkness from forming!" a seventh-tier lord replied.
The current situation in the Demon Flame Plane is very similar to when Ye Chen first arrived. The situation can be maintained, but it is difficult to win. There are simply not enough people to spare. If Grandpa Jian and the others relax their guard in any way, it could lead to a breakthrough by the dark creatures and a complete collapse!
It seems that dark creatures are also quite adept at this situation, which allows them to take over a plane with minimal cost.
Therefore, the lords of the Demon Flame Plane are eagerly awaiting support, which would help them quickly eliminate several sources of darkness and reclaim the entire plane as soon as possible. This would be the least costly solution for the lords.
"Have you selected the weakest source of darkness yet? When do you plan to make your move?" After understanding the situation, Hua Xiyu asked directly and decisively. They weren't here for a vacation; they didn't want to beat around the bush if they could solve the problem in the fastest way possible!
"The newly born Thirteenth Dark Source is the most unstable in the space passage and has the fewest dark creatures because it is newly born!" Grandpa Jian said immediately. This was a new dark source that was born after he and Ye Chen recovered the dark source, which made him feel uneasy for a long time. If the location of this dark source had been found earlier, the crisis in the Demon Flame Plane might have been completely resolved.
