While Ye Chen was engrossed in contemplating the development of the human race and the future of the Primordial Star, Ye Jun and the others in the main world finally welcomed Zhulong.
After Zhulong and Kunpeng killed Ruby in the bizarre high school, they immediately came out. Kunpeng returned to the Primordial Star to report the situation to Ye Chen, while Zhulong turned around and went back into the wooden house in the main world to meet up with Ye Jun and the others.
"You've come at the right time. We've already secured two of the nine commander positions, leaving seven. Let's work together to figure out how to proceed," Ye Xi said with a smile as he saw Zhulong approach.
They currently have five seventh-tier demigods here, but in reality, they only have two commanders. This number is too small. To completely control the floating island within this wooden house, they would need at least five people.
"What are their respective strengths? What are your thoughts?" Zhulong asked, looking at the group.
"We've already killed the strongest commander, and the command is now in Taishan's hands. The remaining few are far weaker than him. I think we can take them all down in one fell swoop!" Ye Jun said confidently.
After becoming a leader, he had learned all the rules in the main world. These rules had few restrictions on leaders and were mostly used to enslave non-leader beings. Therefore, he was not afraid of facing so many enemies at the same time, after all, there were also five seventh-order demigods on their side.
“Alright! These dark creatures are of average strength. Even if they are all at the seventh rank, we have nothing to fear!” Zhulong immediately nodded in agreement, but Ye Xi stopped the two of them.
"That's not a good idea! Although there are only nine commanders, don't forget that they have many more seventh-tier demigods under their command. If we really attack them, we might not come out on top. You can kill one commander, but can you face three, four, or even five at the same time?"
"Actually, instead of wiping them all out at once, I think it would be better to take them down one by one. These monsters have extremely high intelligence and thinking. Instead of killing them, we should select some to use for our own purposes. For example, fallen liches and banshees, don't we have some on our Primordial Star?"
"Anyway, once you've crossed the River of Oblivion, drunk the Meng Po soup, and embarked on the path of reincarnation, the past is like smoke. Even if they are truly dark creatures, they are just a bit extreme in character. At least for the Primordial Star, they are not harmful at all. On the contrary, they can add some high-level combat power to us!"
As the chief steward of the Primordial Star and Ye Chen's capable assistant, Ye Xi naturally prioritizes the Primordial Star in everything she does. She absolutely puts anything that can increase the strength of the Primordial Star first.
Upon hearing his words, both Ye Jun and Zhulong frowned slightly. Zhulong simply found it troublesome, while Ye Jun, being proud, looked down on these dark creatures. However, considering the current state of the Primordial Star, he didn't say anything more.
"Have you figured out how to deal with them? This isn't in the starry sky; I can't just take their souls away!" Zhulong asked, frowning.
"Go and persuade them! If that doesn't work, just kill them! It won't cause any trouble, and under the guise of negotiating, we can take them down one by one without making any mistakes!" Ye Xi laughed.
It's just a matter of making a few more trips, changing from killing them all together to executing them one by one, which just takes a little more time.
"Alright! Let's do it this way. Who should start?" Zhulong nodded, no longer hesitating once he had made his decision.
"Fallen liches, after all, they have the potential to emerge from the darkness!" Ye Xi immediately said, as fallen liches could be considered their best option at the moment.
"Let's go then! Don't waste any more time. Let's finish this quickly and get back to Honghuang Star. The darkness here is really making me nauseous!" After saying that, Ye Jun got up and prepared to leave.
They also knew about the businesses of the other leaders. Among them, the Fallen Lich was considered quite powerful. Most importantly, his businesses included two seventh-tier monsters, including himself, which was unimaginable to the other leaders.
His business is a large hospital, which he usually uses to treat the monsters in the main world and sell medicine, which is quite peculiar.
However, the main world has passages to other small wooden houses, where he can sell his medicine. The pharmacy that Kunpeng first encountered was actually one of the subordinate branches of the Fallen Lich.
In this way, he acquired a large number of strange creature limbs and materials, providing resources and direction for his research.
The arrival of Ye Xi and the others was quite unexpected for him. He hadn't expected that these people, who had just become leaders and hadn't even truly consolidated their rules, would come to his territory. What was this? A show of force?
“You can interpret it that way, but I think you’re a smart person and should be able to seize the opportunity to survive!” Ye Xi said, looking at him.
"A chance to survive?"
"I know you liches have Soul Boxes, but that's not important. As long as you don't die, the resurrection effect of the Soul Box won't be triggered. And in this world, there are many things more terrifying than death!"
Upon hearing this, the Fallen Lich's expression changed drastically. He knew that he had been targeted and was determined to take a piece of flesh from him, even though his skeletal frame didn't have much flesh to offer.
"Tell me! What do you need me to do?" the fallen lich asked in a deep voice. They had no flesh and skin, only skeletons, and naturally had no expression.
“You are not a true dark creature, so you should know very well why we came into the main world. Let me tell you clearly, we are determined to get this floating island. We only need your help to speed up the process. This is your chance to return to the light!”
"Return to the light?" The fallen lich's soulfire flickered, clearly indicating that he was not at peace. Although he could free himself from the corruption of dark energy on his own, it would be too difficult. Moreover, being in the dark would allow him to conduct the research he wanted. However, seeing Ye Xi's expression, he knew very well that this was an opportunity only if Ye Xi was willing; otherwise, it would be something worse than death.
"Of course! I believe you also yearn for the power of light!" Ye Jun said proudly. Light is what all living beings yearn for. Even if the other party is a lich, he can regain the light by directly entering the cycle of reincarnation.
"I don't need the light! But I seem to have no other choice. I hope that Archie's crippled body can still do something for you all!" Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the group and recalling the scene of Taishan killing Batel, he finally reluctantly agreed.
"A wise choice!"
