"Why didn't you escape with them?" Ye Chen asked with a smile, looking at the fallen lich in the starry sky.
"Why should I run away?" A familiar voice rang out, and the fallen lich left behind was none other than Yang Tianyou, with whom he had been in contact for some time.
"Now that you've advanced to the eighth-tier lord, we've finally gained a foothold in the dark world. We can join forces to wipe out these eighth-tier creatures, rule these planes, purify the darkness, and maybe even find a way back to the main world!"
"Find the way back? Do you really intend to go back?" Ye Chen sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, there should already be ninth-tier dark creatures on their way, right? So are you acting as a human locator? Or are you just stalling for time?"
The fallen lich has no physical body; otherwise, Ye Chen estimated that he would have seen a drastic change in the lich's expression, rather than just the brief silence it was in.
"When did you guess it?" After a long silence, Yang Tianyou finally asked.
"Even a ninth-tier main god can be corrupted by darkness. How can you, a new lord, possibly survive in darkness? Falling into darkness is your only option!" Ye Chen said calmly.
“Liches can indeed emerge from the darkness, but that doesn’t mean they won’t fall into darkness. On the contrary, they fall even faster, not to mention they can still maintain their original sanity. You guys don’t seem like liches who have a persistent pursuit of truth, do you?”
"Not to mention that little skeleton that keeps leaping around in my territory. Guess why, all these years, you haven't received any news? You can't really pinpoint the existence of this little skeleton? You don't naively think that I'm hiding it too well to send a message out, do you?"
Ye Chen laughed mockingly and crushed the white jade skull he had just pulled out of Fengdu City.
The lich opposite him stared silently at Ye Chen's projection, remaining silent for a long time. He had never expected that the other party would discover his purpose from the very beginning and never trust him.
And that was indeed the case. This was the dark world. Even in the main world there were dark corners, let alone here. He had never trusted anyone from beginning to end.
“You don’t understand the vastness of darkness at all! It is an irresistible force, and no matter who it is, they will eventually sink into darkness!” After a long while, Yang Tianyou said in a hoarse voice.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. He had thought that after he pointed it out, the other party would either launch an angry attack or run away frantically. Unexpectedly, the other party remained standing still and even said such a thing.
"What is this? Trying to persuade me to surrender?" Ye Chen sneered. Although he was surprised, it did not shake his mind in the slightest. In the dark world, he could only trust himself.
“No! This is a warning. We will all become slaves to darkness, without exception!” Yang Tianyou said again.
"You've already fallen. You may still have Yang Tianyou's memories, but you're no longer him!" Ye Chen sighed. The Yang Tianyou who dared to fight for a chance of survival in the trial space was no longer there.
"I'll say it again, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!" Ye Chen glanced at the dark starry sky and reminded him once more.
Yang Tianyou finally raised his head and gave Honghuang Star a deep look. "Do you think the darkness you've seen is the whole picture? This is just the tip of the iceberg..."
After saying that, Yang Tianyou didn't linger and slowly retreated, disappearing into the darkness.
Ye Chen watched the direction he left in, and only after confirming that the other party had left did he turn around and shut down the projection. The teleportation of the entire Primordial Star was activated, and he disappeared into the darkness once again.
He didn't know where he was going, but he knew very well that he absolutely couldn't stay here. Just as he had guessed at the beginning, when the eighth-order dark creatures realized that they couldn't deal with him, they would definitely ask the ninth-order dark god for help. If he didn't leave, what awaited him was the attack of the ninth-order dark god.
As the primordial star continued its journey through the dark starry sky, Ye Chen occasionally activated his spatial teleportation ability while carefully concealing his teleportation traces to avoid being caught up by ninth-tier creatures.
As it turned out, Ye Chen's guess was correct. He had felt the world-destroying power several times and even witnessed the annihilation of a star field.
This is a ninth-tier main god making a move, trying to drag him out of the darkness. Just as they deeply abhor the darkness, the dark creatures will not allow him to frolic peacefully in the darkness.
With nowhere to escape, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and teleported into the depths of darkness. Wherever the dark energy was most concentrated, that's where he would head. He believed that direction would be the source of darkness, and that he would surely see the deepest darkness in the world.
"The powerful aura that had been tracking us... has disappeared!" Ye Chen suddenly exclaimed, looking into the darkness behind him. He hadn't sensed any powerful aura pursuing him for a long time; perhaps the other party had given up completely?
"My lord, a large number of tools from a dark civilization have appeared ahead, perhaps indicating the existence of some kind of dark civilization!" Ye Xi suddenly arrived at Zixiao Palace and reported to Ye Chen.
"Dark Civilization?" Ye Chen was stunned. He had heard countless rumors about the Dark Civilization, but he never expected to actually experience it firsthand. He was very curious about this Dark Civilization, but now was clearly not a good time to go in and take a look.
"Try to avoid it and don't get discovered. Also, try to find a way to hide the Primordial Star in the dark so that it won't be easily discovered by dark creatures. Only in this way can we have a chance to develop!" Ye Chen said to Ye Xi.
"In this regard, Fuxi has actually had some ideas over the years, called the Cave Heaven Project. It involves tearing apart a space to hide the Primordial Star inside, and then closing the entrance and exit. As long as the life force is prevented from leaking out, it will be difficult for dark creatures to detect it. The principle is similar to the spatial nodes used by the dark creatures back then!"
“That’s a good idea! You can let Fuxi try it. As for tearing space, don’t bother. I have a small world here. You can let Fuxi go in and deploy the great formation. We still need to find a safe place to settle down as soon as possible!” Ye Chen nodded and took out the small world he had obtained, letting Fuxi do as he pleased.
In terms of formations, Fuxi can be said to be an absolute pioneer, ahead of the vast majority of people. Even after being reincarnated as a human and living a second life, he quickly regained what he was good at.
After receiving the small world from Ye Chen, he completed the setup of the concealed array in just three days, placing the entire Primordial Star inside.
