With Achille's surrender, whether it's true or not, the task of conquering the entire main world will become much easier.
Ye Xi and his group already had five top-tier demigods, and Archie had two demigod-level subordinates, bringing their total to eight demigods. This was close to half the number of demigods in the entire main world. If they could pick one or two top leaders to eliminate, the rest would be no threat at all.
As for the demigod-level female demon they mentioned earlier, after a few words of persuasion, she refused to surrender. In a fit of anger, Zhulong killed her directly, then extracted her soul, intending to throw it into the River of Oblivion to wash it off and send it into reincarnation.
In just three days, the entire main realm had undergone a complete transformation. While Ye Chen was still pondering matters concerning the human race in his territory, Taishan had already returned to the Primordial Star, instructing him to send someone to take over the position of lord in the main realm and bring back Ye Xi and the others.
"So fast? You've only been in the main world for three or four days, right?" Ye Chen was taken aback, but then he saw Taishan nod. "There were a total of nine commanders. We killed two of them that day, and then turned one against us. The rest are no threat!"
"Dark creatures can be turned?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing!
"Um, that's a fallen lich. Sister Ye Xi said she'll send it to Fengdu City to be reformed later!"
"Goodness, you guys are really something. But as for the Fallen Lich, it's not surprising!" Ye Chen gave a thumbs up, feeling slightly relieved. There's already one Fallen Lich on the Primordial Star, still reincarnating! It's nothing special!
"Alright! You've worked hard too, take a rest first, I'll go and inform the other lords to arrange manpower!"
After letting Mount Tai rest, Ye Chen began contacting others. There were many industries and commanders in the main realm. For safety reasons, it was impossible to have only one commander in a main realm. So, with so many seventh-tier experts, other lords would need to come and support them.
Moreover, they have only taken over one main realm so far. There are still many such wooden houses on the floating island, each controlling a certain rule authority on the floating island. If they want to take over them all, Ye Xi and his group alone are not enough.
Upon learning that Ye Chen's clan had successfully conquered a main realm, all the lords were overjoyed. Hearing that people were needed, they each dispatched their clans.
While one or two seventh-tier demigods might not affect the overall strength of their territory, when combined, they form a formidable force, enough to fill the required number of demigods in a main realm.
Meanwhile, Ye Xi and the others haven't been idle these past few days. Nine commanders in one main realm is far too many, so they directly reduced their numbers to three.
Although the number of rules they can formulate has decreased, the number of people they need to leave behind has also decreased significantly. After all, their current plan for the floating islands is only to study and train troops, and they do not intend to use them as strategic weapons. Therefore, the fewer demigods left behind, the better, since the war outside also requires a large amount of combat power.
A week later, Ye Xi and the others finally emerged from the main world, accompanied by the fallen lich, Archier. After witnessing the strength of Ye Jun and his companions, Archier had completely abandoned his plans to escape. As a seeker of truth, he was also curious about what kind of river the River of Oblivion in Fengdu City was, that it could wash away one's past.
"That's Fengdu City. No living people are allowed in. Since you're already dead, just go in by yourself. There's a Naihe Bridge inside, and the Wangchuan River flows beneath it!" After seeing Ye Chen, Zhulong escorted him to the outside of Fengdu and gave him these instructions.
"Behave yourself and don't even think about causing trouble. Putting aside the sacredness and power of Fengdu City itself, the powerful figures guarding it are more than enough to easily crush you!"
"Are there powerful figures inside Fengdu City?" Archie was startled and became increasingly cautious as he looked at the majestic and eerie ghost city.
Only after watching Achille walk into the gates of hell did Zhulong feel relieved. Once you enter the gates of hell, life and death are no longer in his hands. The Yellow Springs Road, the Naihe Bridge, the Meng Po Soup... If he didn't let you go through them and give this city of the dead a proper makeover, he would be letting it down!
Even after this matter is settled, Ye Chen will not be able to leave so quickly. The floating island can only be said to be under temporary control. It will take a lot of time to truly take control and subdue it. During this period, Ye Chen will naturally be needed to guard it to prevent any unforeseen events.
"Alright, I'll just stay here and let the clans in my territory develop properly!" Ye Chen said with a smile, while also sending a portion of his clans to support Hua Xiyu's side so that they could subdue the Thirteenth Dark Source as soon as possible.
As for the floating island, since the seventh-tier lords couldn't leave, a group of peak sixth-tier lords were arranged to come and help them. Anyway, the wooden houses were to be captured one by one, so having more people wouldn't make much difference.
After arranging things one by one, Ye Chen stayed peacefully in the Cave of Time and began to ponder the development of the human race.
He told Xuandu and Kunpeng that humans could seek protection from demonic beasts and use totems to protect their entire tribe. Of course, the totems should not be too powerful, otherwise the humans would have no difficulty surviving in the Southern Continent. They still need to undergo necessary trials.
Therefore, totems need to collect offerings from tribes. The more offerings a tribe can afford, the more powerful the totem can be. In return, the totem will enjoy merit bonuses along with the entire tribe, increasing its cultivation speed.
As soon as this news spread, many demons rushed towards the Southern Continent. Even the dragon and phoenix clans were alarmed, and they all found a small human tribe in the Southern Continent and became the tribe's totem.
Ordinary lesser demons might care about the offerings in their tribe, but for large clans like the Dragon and Phoenix, what they truly care about is the power of merit within the tribe. Although this was something Ye Chen created, it secretly aligns with the laws of the Primordial Star and is extremely beneficial for cultivation. Ye Chen also needs to use a large number of merit points to convert it.
With the help of the demon race's totem, the human race finally gained a foothold in the Southern Continent. Afterwards, Ye Chen regularly extracted a certain amount of divine power from the demigods who were still on the Primordial Star, converted it into Primordial Points, and continued to extract the classics from the Scripture Pavilion.
Hundreds of years passed in the Cave of Time, until the main world in the floating island was almost completely subdued. Ye Chen finally extracted books from the Scripture Pavilion that were basically usable for human cultivation.
