"No!" His expression of disgust gradually turned to terror. He had not expected that someone would actually win against him in a contest of strength, which made the rules even more restrictive for him, the one who set them.
Those who manipulate the rules will ultimately be punished by the rules.
As the abomination's body was cleaved open, countless pieces of flesh and entrails rained down from the sky. The surrounding high-ranking monsters felt a chill run down their spines. No one had expected that two commanders would fall today, one of whom was even known as the strongest commander.
"According to the rules of the main realm, whoever beheads the leader will inherit his property, and the one who kills him will also become the new leader. Does anyone have any objections?" Ye Jun's cold gaze swept over the many strange creatures, and all of them felt a shiver run down their spines. His piercing gaze burned over them all.
“Of course! In the most law-abiding place in the main world, if he can kill Balt, then he is the new leader!” After a brief silence, a fallen lich spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the other high-level monsters also came to their senses and echoed in agreement.
Even though they were unwilling, they dared not voice any objections. If a subordinate could kill the strongest Balt, how strong must he be? He could probably wipe out all of them, these strange creatures, right?
"Well deserved! The new leader's power truly inspires our admiration!" The enchanting voice of the banshee rang out. With his immense strength, his body was no different from that of an ordinary monster, and the illusory nature of the vengeful spirit's body was no longer apparent.
"Congratulations!" The Dark Demon said with a gloomy face, then turned and left, returning to his territory.
The other monsters also offered their congratulations before quickly leaving. They were afraid of being killed or enslaved if they stayed any longer; in the dark world, strength reigns supreme, and power is everything.
Seeing the numerous strange creatures depart one after another, Ye Xi and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief. In this way, they could finally establish a firm foothold in this main world and officially become two leaders in the main world.
Once Zhulong and Kunpeng arrive, they can find a way to gradually absorb the authority of the other leaders. When they control the entire main world, they will have a slight control over the floating islands, allowing them to remain in place and await the purification by the lords.
This will be a long process. Subduing the floating islands will be much more time-consuming and labor-intensive than other tools of the dark civilization, and may even come at a huge cost.
"I find the floating island model quite interesting. Perhaps once the floating islands are under control, they can be handed over to mid- to low-level lords for management. This would be an excellent training ground!" Ye Chen suggested, looking at the projections of the other lords on the Primordial Star.
"Training grounds? You mean letting mid- to low-ranking lords arrange for their respective clans to train in the wooden huts, and incidentally consolidate their authority?" a seventh-ranking lord asked.
“Indeed, the cabin contains various rules and different dark creatures, most of which are highly intelligent. If these creatures can be tempered in the cabin, they will surely have great potential, and it is also a path to rapid growth.”
"Moreover, there are a large number of strange creatures in the wooden house. They are also derived from dark creatures, but they are not mindless like ordinary dark creatures that can only follow their instincts to devour everything around them. There is a civilization inside."
"Instead of killing all these monsters in one go, we should make use of their value so that we can learn more about the dark world. Defending all the time is just prolonging our lives!"
Ye Chen glanced at Lynn, who had already returned to Hope City, and continued to suggest that this was an idea that Lynn and Xuan Du had put forward in the Strange High School, especially Xuan Du, who strongly agreed with the idea.
Upon hearing this, all the lords fell into a brief silence. The situation on the floating island was indeed alarming, but if it were truly intended as a training ground…
"This will cause a large number of casualties among low- and mid-level lords!" Grandpa Jane said, frowning.
"Are there no casualties in fighting the darkness? Is the role of a seventh-tier powerhouse greater, or that of a group of mid-tier units?" Ye Chen countered, the result being obvious. "What everyone fears is dying without knowing why, but think about it the other way around, aren't both of them fighting against the darkness? Death is only a matter of time, but in the wooden hut, they may be able to wield even greater power! Isn't that a good thing?"
“Perhaps you are right!” After a long silence, a seventh-tier lord spoke up. “I suggest that this matter be handled as Lord Ye Chen suggested. Of course, the risks involved must be explained to the lower and middle-tier lords so that they can act on a voluntary basis.”
"That's a must!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Several more high-ranking lords nodded in agreement, and the matter was finally settled. Now, once Ye Jun and his group had taken control of the floating island, it would become a training ground for the families of the various lords to hone their skills.
As the meeting ended, the projections of everyone faded away, leaving only Grandpa Jian and Hua Xiyu. They looked at the densely packed hordes of familiars emerging from Ye Chen's territory and couldn't help but sigh. When they first met him, he was just a mid-level lord, and when Hua Xiyu met him, he was only at the fourth level. Now, among the seventh-level lords, he was already a force to be reckoned with.
"Ye Chen, I heard that you created a completely new race?" With no one around, Hua Xiyu suddenly asked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hadn't told anyone about this except for Fatty and a few others. However, Hua Xiyu had been in contact with him quite a bit lately, so it wasn't surprising that she had noticed something.
Upon hearing her words, Grandpa Jian was startled. He had heard Ye Chen mention this before, but he hadn't taken it to heart. Now it seemed that he might have really created a completely new race.
"Well, no, it's not that. It was my clan that created the human race, and my territory advanced to the seventh rank because of that!" Ye Chen shrugged and replied. However, upon hearing his words, both Grandpa Jian and Hua Xiyu looked surprised. Grandpa Jian even exclaimed, "You really created a new race?"
"Uh, a Familia! My Familia created it! And it's not a new race, just humans!" Ye Chen explained helplessly, but the two of them were still very excited.
“No! The same applies to those created by the Lord’s Families. Even if they are human, as long as they are not recruited and reproduced through the Families’ nests, they are considered a new race! This has nothing to do with whether this race exists in the myriad worlds!” Hua Xiyu explained excitedly.
Hearing this, Ye Chen looked completely bewildered. "This? So what?"
