As Nuwa's illusory image retreated, the vast divine power surrounding the Primordial Star gradually dissipated, and the surrounding dark creatures began to stir. Ye Jun, Zhulong, and the others alone could not deter the surrounding area. This was an endless dark world, with countless dark creatures around, including some seventh-order demigods. With them in command, even though these dark creatures feared the power of the Primordial Star, they had no choice but to launch an attack on it.
"Ye Xi, lead the men to resist the enemy. I'm preparing to activate spatial teleportation!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
He had not forgotten the group of eighth-tier dark gods behind him. Although they were currently intimidated by Nuwa's strength and dared not pursue her, they would certainly not let them go once they learned that Nuwa was exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Ye Chen had no coordinates to teleport to in the dark world, nor could he teleport directly back to the main world. He could only find a direction, set a rough distance to travel, and leave the rest to fate.
If you're unlucky and your landing point happens to overlap with a planet, or you're teleported directly in front of a high-level dark creature, then you can only accept your bad luck.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to land in a boundless starry sky. Although there were numerous dark creatures around them, there were no high-level beings, allowing Ye Chen and his companions to catch their breath briefly.
"Everyone take turns on duty and must remain vigilant to prevent the arrival of any high-level dark creatures in the vicinity. The others take turns resting, while we clear out the dark forces on the Primordial Star!" Ye Chen immediately gave the order.
The surrounding dark creatures are not difficult to clear out. After all, this is an entire world. Although there are many dark creatures, under normal circumstances, they should not be endless in the vast starry sky.
After several days of cleanup, many of her kin were sacrificed, but the surrounding star field was finally safe for the time being. Apart from the occasional approach of wandering dark creatures, there were not many wars. At the same time, Houtu, who had been sleeping in Fengdu City, finally completed her advancement and awoke from the cycle of reincarnation.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" Houtu, the guardian of reincarnation, appeared in the Lingxiao Palace as a Dharma incarnation, bowing to Ye Chen.
"It's good that you succeeded!" Ye Chen gently helped her up. "Now that the Primordial Star is shrouded in darkness and Nuwa has fallen into a deep sleep, the safety of the entire Primordial Star will depend on you for a long time to come!"
"It is my duty, Houtu swears to protect the Primordial Star with my life!" Houtu bowed and said, "However, reincarnation is of paramount importance to Fengdu City, and even involves the laws of death of the entire Primordial Star. Houtu usually needs to guard reincarnation and can only walk in the world in this Dharma body, so she can't use her full strength like Sister Nuwa!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head. "It's alright, just do your best. Now that we're trapped in darkness, all we can do is fight with all our might!"
After briefly learning about Houtu and the situation on the Primordial Star, Houtu departed. As a being of the Ghost Realm, she naturally did not wish to linger in the Heavenly Court. After leaving, she wandered around the earth, exposing the darkness hidden on the Primordial Star one by one.
At the same time, the successful advancement of two eighth-order True Gods also made Ye Chen feel that the rules of heaven and earth of the entire Primordial Star were constantly being improved, and he even had the illusion that it wanted to break through some kind of limit. This was because the fortune of the entire Primordial Star had been raised to the limit of the seventh order, and there was a possibility of breaking through at any time.
However, upon looking at the human race on the primordial planet, he couldn't help but shake his head. Although a flourishing scene of a hundred schools of thought contending had already emerged, very few were able to break through to the seventh rank, let alone break through the shackles of life and advance to the eighth rank. This would require a long time to develop.
"My lord, there is a dark creature here that claims to know you!" Several days later, Houtu suddenly arrived at Lingxiao Palace with a white jade skeleton and reported to Ye Chen.
"You know me?" Ye Chen was taken aback and looked at the white jade skull next to him.
This was just an ordinary white jade skeleton, its strength was only at the first or second level, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person who had never cultivated. Moreover, it exuded a strong dark power, clearly indicating that it was an undead creature belonging to the dark world.
"Young friend Ye Chen, it's been a long time!" Sensing Ye Chen's gaze, a familiar voice rang out from the soul fire of the white jade skull, but Ye Chen still couldn't remember who it was.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Ye Chen frowned and asked in confusion.
"Hehe! Do you still remember Planet Woolf?" The voice from the Soulfire rang out again, and Ye Chen trembled.
"You? You? You are Yang Tianyou?" Ye Chen asked tremblingly, as the familiar figure and the deeds that had been forgotten over the long years resurfaced in his mind.
In the initial trial grounds for newcomers, several former new lords, mired in darkness, were dragged from the main world into a near-destruction planet called Woolf in order to survive and become lords again. They devoured the will of this planet to rebuild their bodies and rekindle the flame of life.
Ye Chen was even able to obtain a territory the size of a planet in the Trial Grounds, which greatly inspired Yang Tianyou and others.
Unfortunately, after Ye Chen became a formal lord and traveled through the myriad worlds, he never heard of those people again and almost forgot them into history.
"It's an honor that you still remember my name!" the voice in the soul fire laughed. At this moment, the white jade skeleton did not move at all, just like a pure messenger.
"How could you? This is the Dark World!" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise. He really didn't expect that he would run into an acquaintance in the Dark World.
"The original plan encountered some unexpected problems. There was residual dark energy on Planet Woolf, which could not be fully integrated into the main world. Even though we divided up the planet's will and rekindled the spark of hope, we could not return to the main world. Instead, we were thrown into the dark world that had already been completely conquered!"
"However, we never gave up. We also struggled to survive and grow in the darkness. Unfortunately, the dark world is too cruel. Without sufficient strength, it is very difficult to survive. Now, only me and another lich are left alive!"
"As you know, liches have a persistent pursuit of truth. They are one of the few races that can survive in the darkness without being swallowed by it. This was the only way we could survive in the darkness back then!"
