The primordial star gained a brief respite, and Fuxi was able to continue perfecting his magic array.
The entire primordial planet was hidden within a small world, with various magical arrays being enhanced by Fuxi.
The small world, which was originally unable to support a high-level territory, had long since crumbled and become riddled with holes after the placement of the Primordial Star. It was called a cave heaven, but it was more like the crevice world that Ye Chen had encountered back then.
However, this world was constantly being repaired by Fuxi and the great demons of the Zhou Tian Star Dou, gradually forming a relatively perfect crevice space, making it difficult for the life force of the primordial star to leak out.
Only then did Ye Chen, who had been constantly worried about being discovered, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The crevice space still has many shortcomings, like an hourglass riddled with holes, allowing a large amount of dark energy to seep in. But none of this matters, as the Primordial Star is capable of purifying it. Furthermore, Fuxi used these holes to open up passages to various dark planes, ensuring that the Primordial Star's aura did not simply leak out in one place.
Furthermore, the beings of the Primordial Star who wish to go out to fight and hone their skills are no longer limited to the plane where the crevice space is located. Through these openings, they can travel to any connected dark plane, greatly reducing the possibility of the crevice space being discovered.
Ye Chen and the Primordial Star remained in the crevice for over a hundred years...
A hundred years, converted into the time capsule, is a full thirty to forty thousand years. True gods are no longer a rarity on the primordial planet. Even the thirty-six righteous gods of the Heavenly Court have all taken their positions, and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals and a million Yin soldiers are spread throughout the Heavenly Court and Fengdu.
"Tens of thousands of years have passed... How many people in the main world do you think still remember us?" Ye Chen sighed wistfully as he lay in a rocking chair in a deserted little shop in the Southern Continent.
He really didn't want to live in Zixiao Palace. Even with celestial birds and fairies by his side, it was still a bit boring and lacked human warmth. He was really worried that he might completely forget that he was still a human being.
Therefore, over the years, he has mostly lived as a mortal, sometimes in Jambudvipa, sometimes in Aparagodaniya... He has even transformed into some minor demons and sorcerers to experience different lives and all aspects of human existence.
Not to mention that over the past tens of thousands of years, his state of mind has undergone many changes, and even his strength has increased to a certain extent. He is no longer the kind of lord who simply relies on his territory to improve his strength. Now, even ordinary eighth-order dark creatures are no match for him.
"Li Er, Nuwa, and Houtu are already trying to break through to the ninth rank. I believe we will be able to return to the main world soon!" Ye Xi, who had also reached the peak of the eighth rank, comforted him.
"Go back? Ye Xi! Do you still remember what our mission is?" Ye Chen asked in a clear voice after a moment's thought.
"Mission? To repel the darkness? To ensure the continuation of the race? And to bring light to all living beings?" Ye Xi thought for a moment and replied. If it were a lord or an awakened one, it might be difficult to answer, but as a recruited member of the clan, some things were engraved in his bones.
"Yes! Repel the darkness... But what exactly is darkness?" Ye Chen asked with a puzzled expression. This was a question that had troubled countless people, and even Ye Xi couldn't answer it.
"Do you still remember Yang Tianyou's last words? The darkness you see is just the tip of the iceberg!"
"If we advance to the ninth rank and gain sufficient strength, perhaps we should truly delve into the darkness and take a look, to see what kind of enemies we will face in the future?"
Ye Chen's words startled Ye Xi. She hadn't expected that Ye Chen was thinking not about going back, but about going deeper into the darkness to take a look at his future enemy!
"But sir, a proper rest is also necessary. We can go back and come back again, right? The entrance to the darkness isn't hard to find!" Ye Xi advised, unable to bear it any longer.
"As the old saying goes, 'One should strike while the iron is hot, but one should not try again until the third time when all is lost.' Would I still want to come back after I go back?" Ye Chen shook his head. "Besides, there's a high chance I won't come back. Why go back and hurt people?"
The people of the Blue Star plane probably all think they've fallen into darkness or are simply dead, right? Are the dead going to be resurrected and then die in darkness again? I've heard of second marriages, but never a second funeral… It's best to avoid causing trouble.
The most important thing is that even if he really goes back, Ye Chen isn't sure if he'll have the courage to come back again.
Ye Xi stared blankly at Ye Chen, her eyes glistening with tears. "No matter where you go, sir, we will follow you to the death!"
"That's enough!" Ye Chen smiled faintly, closed his eyes again, and lay back in the rocking chair, enjoying the rare afternoon.
Time has passed, tens of thousands of years have gone by, and the Primordial Star has changed drastically. Even this crevice world is very different from what it used to be. Around the Primordial Star, countless tools of the dark civilization have been stationed. These were all captured by Ye Jun and his group during their conquest of the darkness and, after purification and improvement, have become tools unique to the Primordial Star.
The disappearance of so many tools from the Dark Civilization caused quite a stir in the Dark World, even attracting the attention of several eighth-order True Gods. However, nothing came of it in the end. As long as Ye Chen didn't expose himself, no one could discover the existence of this crevice.
Even the dark energy surrounding the crevice was adjusted by Ye Chen through Fuxi, allowing it to be transmitted from different planes.
It's better to guide than to block. This is a dark world. They can avoid dark creatures, but it's impossible to stop the erosion of dark energy. So, let Fuxi actively draw this dark energy in to prevent a significant drop in the concentration of dark energy in a certain plane. This will definitely attract the attention of high-level dark creatures.
Even so, tens of thousands of years of purification have caused a significant decrease in the concentration of dark energy in many planes. Combined with the loss of tools from the dark civilization, many high-level dark creatures have noticed the anomaly and have begun to carefully examine their surroundings.
However, Ye Chen was not worried about this. The starry sky was vast and boundless. Who knew when they would be able to find him? By the time they found him, he might have already broken through to the ninth rank and become a top-level lord.
