The various races of the primordial world, along with a large number of the lords' retinues, swept across the entire ghost ship, leaving the lords watching from afar utterly shocked.
Although they couldn't see inside the ghost ship, like Ye Chen, they could see the changes in their own merit points. The terrifying surge in merit points surprised and delighted everyone.
"Dark creatures inside the ghost ship? Especially weak? But with an unusually high number of merit points?" one of the lords asked doubtfully. They had never seen what was inside the ghost ship and could only guess based on their high merit points.
"It's not impossible, is it? After all, the ghost ship is powerful enough, so it's normal for the dark creatures inside to be a little weaker?" another lord said, suddenly feeling that the tools of the dark civilization were not so difficult to deal with.
“Perhaps there are some special circumstances? If it were really easy to deal with, it wouldn’t have been a major concern for the lords all these years!” Some of the more level-headed lords said with a frown.
Everyone hoped that Ye Chen could give them an answer, but Ye Chen shook his head slightly as he watched the conversation, too lazy to pay attention. No matter how much he said here, no one would imagine it. It would be better to wait for their own clans to return and see and hear for themselves, as that would be more real.
At this moment, with the end of the second wave of dark creature attacks, there were very few high-level dark gods left on the ghost ship. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they could no longer amount to anything. As long as the army of their kin kept themselves from being corrupted by the dark energy, they would eventually be able to wipe them out one day.
However, the army of the clans was not without losses. The intense and high-pressure combat environment also led to the deaths of many people. The entire allied army now has only 70,000 people left, most of whom are clans from the Primordial Star.
Not only that, forty members of the high-level demigod clans have also fallen, leaving less than sixty demigod powerhouses. Two have even died on the Primordial Star: one from the alien race of the City of Hope and the other from a great demon from the Demon Emperor's Palace.
Fortunately, the souls of these people were left behind by Zhulong, and they will be able to reincarnate on the Primordial Star in the future. However, at that time, they will no longer be the relatives of the many lords' territories, but will belong to Ye Chen's subjects. Their strength will need to be cultivated from scratch, and even their memories may not be completely preserved.
"Spread out! Five demigods, each in a team, clear out the dark creatures in each compartment, but make sure you stay within the other team's detection range! Also, send someone out to report on the situation here!" After taking control of the ghost ship, Ye Jun gave the order to everyone. Although they were strong when they were grouped together, the clearing speed was too slow.
They have only taken control of the ghost ship's steering wheel so far; there are still many cabins and various permissions on the ship that they need to seize.
Finally, an angel wielding a divine sword flew out from the magnetic field of the ghost ship. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, thinking that something had happened, and they all crowded around.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ghost Ship has been taken into control. More than 150 enemy dark gods have been killed. Now, Great God Ye Jun is leading everyone to clear out all areas of the Ghost Ship. This is a detailed battle report!" This angel came from Jian Mengyi's Angelic Holy Court. Now the entire Holy Court is under Ye Chen's control on the Primordial Star, so this angel came directly to report to Ye Chen.
"You've worked hard! What's the situation regarding the battle damage inside?" Ye Chen took the report from the other party, inserted it into his wristband to project the image, and then asked the angel.
With numerous projections surrounding him, he made no attempt to hide anything and shared the battle report directly with everyone.
Suddenly, the pitch-black hull of the ship, illuminated by the blazing sun, came into view. Scenes of battle between the familiars and the dark creatures appeared around them, demonstrating the entirety of the war as if they were right there in the scene.
These are memory stones carried by the clan members. They do not possess the power of technological products, but are special stones that, when infused with power, can preserve the surrounding scene and recreate it in the future.
These memory stones are not uncommon, but they are not produced in the Demon Flame Plane, so Ye Chen didn't have any last time. This time, he specially brought some from Blue Star, and he didn't expect to use them so soon.
"This? This is too terrifying! So many dark creatures, it's no different from rushing into the source of darkness!" A lord looked at the scene around him and asked in horror.
“That’s about right, but nobody dares to go into the source of darkness! I was just wondering if the dark creatures in the ghost ship weren’t strong, but now I realize I was just a frog in a well. I’m only relying on Boss Ye Chen to lead us!” another lord said, feeling ashamed.
"Yeah! Me too! I thought it was some kind of dark creature from a ghost ship, with super high merit point rewards. It's all thanks to the pros carrying me!"
"You've struck gold, but my demigod's kin are dead! They were torn apart by a dark demon. That was the only demigod in my territory!" Some were happy, some were sad. A lord watched his kin perish with his own eyes and was filled with grief.
"Stop talking! Many of my kin have also died. These were the elites of my territory, with the potential to break through to demigod level. They were completely powerless against so many dark creatures!"
"..."
Ye Chen felt helpless and apologetic towards these lords who lost their clans. However, this was everyone's choice, and it was a sacrifice that could happen at any time when fighting against the darkness. There were also clans that died on the Primordial Star. All he could do was try his best to protect the clans that he was very close to and make more preparations for their reincarnation.
This is inevitable when facing darkness, no matter who it is. Even the lord himself must be prepared to perish at any moment.
"My familiars will bring their souls back. You can then decide for yourselves whether you want to take these souls back," Ye Chen said to the crowd. Most of those present were only sixth-tier peak lords. They had not yet established a complete reincarnation mechanism, so even if they brought the souls back, they would not be able to revive these familiars.
However, there are still some people who have established a territory rotation mechanism in advance, which can be considered as leaving everyone with something to look forward to.
"Thank you so much, Boss Ye Chen!" Many people expressed their gratitude. Being able to bring back the souls was a glimmer of hope. Even if they couldn't be resurrected now, they could use special methods to preserve these souls for the future.
Of course, only those families that are particularly favored by the lord can have this honor. Most families will eventually be abandoned. Rather than being taken back to the territory and disappearing, it is better to let them be reborn on the primordial planet.
