Ye Xiu's eyes were bloodshot. Having not slept all night, he stared at that rift gate, his heart filled with a frantic hatred while he simultaneously forced himself to calm down.
A day and night of continuous battle had completely emptied his coffers.
The only good news was that those who survived had all reached the Bronze Rank, becoming the elite of the elite; after all, those who survive such a bloody battle can be considered veterans of a hundred wars.
At the same time, he had also obtained a treasure chest—a black iron dimension treasure chest. He naturally knew what this was, and it served as a decent consolation prize.
Blessings follow misfortunes, and misfortunes lurk within blessings; this was likely the situation Ye Xiu was currently facing.
It could only be said that for Ye Xiu to still be holding on under these circumstances, both strength and luck were indispensable, but subsequent troubles would not be few.
...
On Su Ye's side, he was lying somewhat lazily on the grass, enjoying the sunlight. The troops of his territory had already finished assembling.
Delmis appeared by Su Ye's side.
"Are they all assembled?" Su Ye said to Delmis.
"Yes, Star Lord," Delmis said softly.
"In that case, let's get ready. dimensional rift, open!" Su Ye's voice rang out as he stood up from the grass.
A massive rift gate appeared within Su Ye's territory.
Olides led her Valkyrie Legion and was the first to charge directly into the rift gate.
After a short while, a Valkyrie returned to report information.
"Secure!!"
Only then did Lilith and the others begin to protect Su Ye as they entered the rift gate.
After a brief moment of discomfort, Su Ye looked at the world before him—a dark, gloomy world.
This world looked as if it were on the brink of destruction; endless gloom permeated the sky, the ground was scorched black, and countless plants had withered.
"This world?" Su Ye looked closely at this world. It gave him the feeling that only gloom, deathly silence, decay, and extinction remained.
It seemed as though it could collapse at any moment.
The system prompt also sounded at this time.
[Ding: Data synchronization starting...]
[Ding: Reading world information...]
[Ding: Data synchronization complete, treasure chest generation finished. You have twelve hours to explore this world!]
[Ding: World information collection complete. This is a Mystery-side Black Iron Dimension. Due to an unknown influence, the living beings of this world have all completely died, and everything has thoroughly withered into silence.]
Su Ye looked at the system log: "A new world?"
"Anchor, Lock!!" Su Ye's voice rang out, and a massive phantom of the dimensional gate covered this world, completely anchoring and locking it down.
After doing all this, Su Ye led his legion back to his territory.
Explore?
There was no need to explore now. After exploring, the rift gate's duration would be extended, and there was no point in that. For Su Ye, the rift gate was more of a tool.
Of course, the most important factor was that the rift gate was not under Su Ye's control; that was the key.
With the dimensional gate in existence, Su Ye didn't need the rift gate. All Su Ye needed to do was discover a new world, anchor it, and lock it.
After returning to the territory, Su Ye arranged for the Holy Angel legion to guard the rift gate to prevent any creatures from that world from coming through.
As for why Su Ye would go through the trouble of assembling his territory's forces just to go over for a moment—didn't that seem a bit bothersome?
Of course it wasn't bothersome. Everything was centered on his own safety; being cautious was never a mistake.
While the others dispersed, Su Ye looked at the three worlds anchored by the dimensional gate.
World No. 1, a Tech-side world, named: World No. 1 Black Iron Tech Dimension; World No. 2, the Yellow Sand Zerg World, named by Su Ye as No. 2 Yellow Sand Zerg World; World No. 3, the silent world, named by Su Ye as World No. 3 Silent World.
After marking the three worlds, Su Ye lay directly on the grass, his head pillowed on Delmis's lap.
He began to think carefully.
Now Su Ye had two choices. The first was to Upgrade the lords heart, pushing it all the way to Bronze Rank in one go. After upgrading, there was one problem: the Abyss-difficulty Void Trial he would face might be very hard.
Without any surprises, they would all be high-level Silver-rank monsters.
However, his troop strength was insufficient, which was also an issue.
Su Ye's current forces: Fallen Angel: 410, Gene Forbidden Army: 220, Dragon of the End: 190, Holy Angel: 190, Valkyrie X 120, Star God X 120!
It looked like a lot, but in reality, every Void Trial difficulty involved tens of thousands of enemies. If he jumped to Bronze Rank in one go...
Then the difficulty of the Abyss Void Trial would inevitably skyrocket, potentially even resulting in an invasion of hundreds of thousands of Silver monsters.
This small number of troops wouldn't be enough, and the most important question was whether he could secure the sss abyss-difficulty rating treasure chest; that was the most vital thing.
Of course, there was another choice: not to Upgrade. Just like this, although the difficulty increased daily, it remained within a controllable range.
So now Su Ye had to make a decision.
Either Upgrade the lords heart now, or wait until he had more troops before upgrading.
Su Ye did have troop refresh recruitment cards in his hand, but that was just a drop in the bucket. Even if he used them all, he couldn't recruit many troops.
At most, it would increase his forces by a few hundred units; that was about it.
But it was still far from enough to face the difficulty after the Void Trial Upgrade. It wasn't that Su Ye was worried his troops couldn't pass the Void Trial.
From beginning to end, Su Ye's only worry was that he wouldn't be able to get the sss abyss-difficulty rating treasure chest, nothing more.
"Delmis, let me ask you a question. If it's a choice between high risk with high reward and low risk with low reward, how would you choose?" Su Ye asked Delmis.
Delmis was taken aback; she hadn't expected Su Ye to ask her this question.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Delmis spoke.
"The first one."
"Hmm? Why?" Su Ye looked at Delmis, feeling somewhat curious.
"Star Lord, please believe in us. For us, nothing is a risk," Delmis said softly.
Su Ye was stunned. He looked at Delmis's beautiful face, then laughed heartily.
"Yes, I've been too cautious, too afraid of losing the great situation I have now," Su Ye said with a smile.
"Lord Star Lord, although I do not know what you are worried about, up until now, we have never used our full strength." Delmis spoke with a hint of arrogance, or rather, confidence, as if stating a simple fact.
"I see." Su Ye looked toward his territory and closed his eyes.
The aura of the God-tier barracks and the aura of the wonder... that's right, what was there to be afraid of? This was just a trial. Thinking of this, Su Ye opened his eyes, a flash of sharpness flowing through them before he returned to his usual lazy appearance.
(Big shots, you guys provide the pictures from now on. Old Wu really doesn't know how, sorry. I feel a bit embarrassed, haha. One comment said Old Wu's pictures blew the big shots away, sorry, sorry, hehehe!!)
