35: Digestion

After sharing his thoughts with Zhou Mingjie, he was so moved that he almost offered himself in return.

This is what a real older brother is like; the ones in his own family are just cousins!

Being able to obtain these snake-men and snake eggs made his strength increase by more than just a notch!

Next, it was time for the segment on distributing the territory of the divine domain.

Normally, apart from the initial divine domain where the God Domain Core itself resides, which cannot be plundered, any territory acquired later through divine domain expansion cards and assimilation via devouring can be plundered.

This is also one of the reasons why some hunters can become strong so quickly.

Originally, Zhou Mingjie was determined not to take anything else.

But considering that his own Flame Divine Domain could not raise snake-men, he still accepted half of the habitable divine domain.

Ye Chen did not have high requirements for the divine domain; resources and the like did not matter, and his own kin did not need them either.

With a wave of his hand, he gave the half of the divine domain with the best environment to Zhou Mingjie, and also condensed the resources from the half he received into cards and gave them to him.

At this moment, Zhou Mingjie was already considering which younger sister to give to Ye Chen.

This favor... I am afraid I won't be able to repay it without sending two younger sisters.

Ye Chen naturally did not know what Zhou Mingjie was thinking; he had his army transport all the snake-men's weapons and equipment left in the abyss out, leaving only the longswords.

Bows and snake staves were not very useful for the Abyss Snake-men; only the longswords could enhance their close-combat capabilities.

Everything was distributed, and Zhou Mingjie was now completely devoted to Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, if you need anything in the future, just say the word. I will never hesitate."

Ye Chen did not stand on ceremony after hearing this and asked:

"Can your family's teleportation array... go to the Wild Domain?"

Zhou Mingjie was a bit confused after hearing this, but still replied:

"The Wild Domain? Why would anyone go to that godforsaken place? It's of no benefit to the family's development, so we didn't open a path to it."

"What's wrong? Brother Chen, do you want to go?"

Ye Chen did not hide anything.

"You must have discovered the special Nature of my kin. Ever since my core kin were all killed by Chu Tian, a mutation occurred in the divine domain."

"The environment of the divine domain has become extremely harsh, and ordinary kin simply cannot survive; they can only continue to exist by dying and being resurrected."

"As long as the deceased kin absorb enough negative aura, they can be resurrected. The Fire Element and snake-men are like that."

"But after this battle, the power in the divine domain has been exhausted, so I must go to the Wild Domain to replenish the negative aura."

Zhou Mingjie's heart trembled violently after hearing this.

As expected, the kin can be resurrected from death!

He had also found the answer to those endless Worms.

Although the divine domain could not be developed normally, relying on this ability to resurrect from death alone was already impressive enough.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Mingjie came up with an idea.

"Brother Chen, although my family's teleportation array cannot connect to the Wild Domain, the school's can. We can go in from the school."

Ye Chen shook his head and said:

"Previously, it was Director Wu who took me into the Wild Domain from the school. He won't let me go in again in the short term."

"It's fine, I will arrange it. You just wait."

Zhou Mingjie said confidently.

Ye Chen could only look forward to his good news.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Mingjie stuffed another 20,000 divine power value to Ye Chen before personally sending him home.

After returning home, Ye Chen began to carefully count the gains from this operation.

First was the remaining 8,000-plus snake-men souls and the 58,000-plus Abyss Power generated after absorbing the Snake Domain.

He first waved his hand, consuming over 12,000 Abyss Power to resurrect the kin who had fallen in the Snake Domain one by one.

Immediately after, he spent 24,000 Abyss Power to add an "Environmental Adaptation" talent to the Worms.

With this talent, the Worms could easily cope with various extreme environments, greatly increasing their chances of survival.

Previously, in the Flame Divine Domain, if they had this talent, the Worms could have quickly adapted to the environment of the Flame Divine Domain and survived.

After all, the demons are destined to invade the heavens and myriad worlds in the future and face challenges from various harsh environments, so this talent is essential.

Besides this, there was also 500 square kilometers of divine domain, including the initial Snake Domain.

Two layers of the abyss were still not safe enough for the frequent wars in the future; this territory was just enough to add another layer of the abyss.

He did not place the divine domain directly on the top layer, but inserted it between the first and second layers of the abyss, becoming the new second layer of the abyss.

As for the original second layer of the abyss, which was mainly used as the main battlefield and for disguise, it would now exist as a camouflage layer.

Between the second layer of the abyss and the camouflage layer, Ye Chen set up a secret spiral passage as a connecting channel between the two layers, which was also another smokescreen.

When the enemy conquered the camouflage layer and could not find the God Domain Core, they would inevitably go to the second layer of the abyss through the connecting passage.

At this time, the second layer of the abyss would become the second battlefield to delay the enemy's advance.

Between the second layer of the abyss and the first layer of the abyss, no passage was set, maximizing the security of the Abyss Core.

After completing the arrangement, looking at the now empty second layer of the abyss, Ye Chen planned to move the new members, the Abyss Snake-men, in, as it was their original home after all.

The snake-men were not idle either; after the battle was over and they returned to the abyss, they gathered together to discuss their future path.

Although they were considered the most powerful force in the abyss, they were newcomers after all and still needed to integrate into the abyss system as soon as possible.

A strong snake-man with strength reaching the Extraordinary Seven-Star level was elected as the leader, and it was currently expressing its opinion.

Snake-men are a race that admires strength; following the strong is their foundation for survival.

Now that the Eight-Armed Snake-man commander had fallen, they urgently needed to find a new faith and reliance.

In the abyss, the most powerful is none other than the legendary Lord of the Abyss.

But He is high above and too unreachable to possibly become the commander of the Snake-men race.

Under the Lord of the Abyss, the one ranked first in strength is the Extraordinary Nine-Star Lord Gluttony.

That's right, after the war ended, Gluttony leveled up again by cleaning up the battlefield.

Lord Gluttony's army of flies and insects that covered the sky had left a deep impression on them.

Moreover, compared to Lord "Fear"'s banshee followers, Lord Gluttony had no followers by his side.

If they defected to Lord Gluttony now, they could not only rely on a powerful backer but also occupy the top position among the followers.

Demons go with banshees, and flies/insects go with snake-men; it was actually quite a good match.

After making up their minds, the snake-men acted swiftly and marched towards Gluttony's territory in a grand manner.

At this moment, Ye Chen knew nothing about this; he was controlling the Abyss Will and was preparing to move the snake-men into the second layer of the abyss.

But when his consciousness probed the snake-men group, he was surprised to find that this group of snake-men was surrounding Gluttony, piously swearing allegiance.

Gluttony was uninterested in these subordinates who took the initiative to defect, but was full of praise for the "sacrifices" that the snake-men had carefully prepared.

The snake-men selected the softest and most nutritious meat from the Worms, piling it into a small hill for Gluttony to enjoy.

Facing such delicious food, Gluttony was naturally very satisfied and tacitly accepted the snake-men's allegiance.
