Over the course of several months, in addition to the development of the human race, the source of darkness has also basically stabilized.
With two seventh-tier lords working together, stabilizing a source of darkness was much easier than when Grandpa Jian was alone. Moreover, Ye Chen's strength was also far superior to what it had been back then.
The dark creature seemed to have given up the struggle, and apart from constantly launching attacks on Ye Chen and Hua Xiyu every day, it made no other major moves.
On the contrary, the other sources of darkness are in a frenzy, with countless dark creatures surging out and even occasional tools of dark civilizations appearing. The lords are struggling to resist them, waiting for Ye Chen and his group to completely repair the sources of darkness in their respective areas.
Just when everyone thought things would continue as planned, Ye Chen discovered that the spatial fluctuations at Dark Source No. 8 were suddenly becoming more and more intense, the repair of the spatial rifts was becoming more difficult, and the number of impacts on the space was gradually increasing.
"It seems that a new force is impacting the spatial rift here!" Hua Xiyu said in a deep voice, looking at the spatial rift with a solemn expression, but apart from darkness, she still couldn't see anything.
"Could it be that eighth-tier true god from before?" Ye Chen asked after thinking for a moment.
"This? It's not impossible, but chasing after them this far? Isn't that a bit much?" Hua Xiyu felt she couldn't continue.
Don't be fooled by their location here; they've flown from the Thirteenth Dark Source to the Eighth Dark Source. To dark creatures, that's a world in the making. Just to hunt her and Ye Chen, a seventh-tier lord? That seems a bit much.
Furthermore, they would need to pinpoint which spatial passage they were near, and perhaps even risk traveling back and forth between different dark worlds. It would be impossible for them to do this unless they truly harbored resentment towards the two of them.
"We must always prepare for the worst. Let's warn the other lords to be careful!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
If an eighth-order dark creature were to descend, the seventh-order lords here would find it difficult to withstand it. After all, there is no such thing as half a step to the eighth order. Without taking that step, the strongest members of the territory can only remain at the peak of the seventh order. Unless they are exceptionally talented, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to try to fight against an eighth-order true god.
Moreover, Ye Chen and the others didn't know what level this eighth-order dark creature they were about to face was, or whether its appearance would bring with it other eighth-order dark creatures.
Hua Xiyu nodded and summoned many high-ranking lords to announce the news. The hearts of all the lords sank immediately, and some even suggested that they should seek help from Blue Star. Unfortunately, each lord had his own territory to guard, and an eighth-rank lord could not be easily mobilized. That was already the highest combat power on the entire Blue Star.
"Let's send the message back first. How the higher-ups decide is their business. We just need to do our own job well!" Hua Xiyu finally said.
After hanging up the communication, everyone continued their respective interstellar wars. Although the spatial rift on Ye Chen's side was still being impacted, it was not in danger of being torn apart. Several months later, seemingly realizing that the matter was hopeless, the eighth-order dark god on the other side also gave up, letting Ye Chen and the others repair the spatial rift. Even the riots of dark creatures at other sources of darkness gradually calmed down.
In less than a year, the source of darkness was stabilized. The subsequent repair work would take a long time. Ye Chen and Hua Xiyu stayed here and focused on developing their territory in the Cave of Time. In any case, the dark creatures around them were endless, and they had no shortage of merit points to exchange for Sands of Time and Energy Crystals.
"Grandpa Jian sent word that their spatial rift has stabilized, and like us, they just need to repair it slowly!" Ye Chen said excitedly after receiving the message from Grandpa Jian.
The recapture of two sources of darkness is an exhilarating event for the lord. After so many years of stalemate in the war in the Demon Flame Plane, this is the first time such a great victory has been achieved.
“In this way, we will have five high-level lords who can move freely. Even if two of them go to one source of darkness, we can directly purify three places in the next round, and the risk is much smaller than before!” Hua Xiyu said excitedly.
More and more high-ranking lords are being released, and the subsequent purification operations will only become faster and easier. Perhaps in three to five years, he will be able to return to Earth and see his daughter grow up.
With high hopes for the future, Ye Chen worked hard to purify the source of darkness. With the help of the two lords, the repair speed of the spatial rift was much faster than before. In just about half a year, the spatial rift was completely repaired, and Ye Chen and Hua Xiyu were able to be released and head to the seventh dark source where Grandpa Jane was with York.
After spending several more months completely recovering this source of darkness, everyone's faces were filled with excited smiles. After a short rest, they redistributed their manpower and headed to the next location. This time, as planned, they prepared to recover three places at once.
Once these three sources of darkness are recaptured, they will be able to launch a final, all-out attack on the sources of darkness, which will take no more than three to five years at most.
Three to five years in one plane is equivalent to hundreds of years in a territory located in the Cavern of Time.
The human race developed very quickly. What started as a population of just over ten million has now grown to over a billion. Human cities have sprung up one after another, and even empires have emerged. The first dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, began to rule the entire human race.
Previously, human sages such as Fuxi and Xuandu created their own cultivation methods, reached the seventh level, and were appointed by Ye Chen to take charge of the Heavenly Court, becoming members of the immortal family.
To this end, Ye Chen even specially built a Fire Cloud Cave in the Southern Continent, so that these human ancestors could live there and specialize in guiding the human race's cultivation and development, and guiding the human race to become strong as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the human race lived up to expectations, creating several different seventh-order cultivation techniques. The entire human race now has nearly ten seventh-order powerhouses, making them no weaker than other races, and perhaps even stronger.
After all, in recent years, the population growth of other races has been slow or even stagnant due to their presence at the source of darkness, while the human race has been able to develop peacefully under Ye Chen's protection, which has given them the opportunity to catch up with other races.
