70: The Original Sea

Another weekend, and Ye Chen slept in soundly.

He wasn't worried about the conquest of the Otherworld.

If the Abyss's entire elite army couldn't take down the Otherworld, then this Abyss might as well not exist.

The random teleportations over the past few days weren't ideal; no new worlds were discovered.

Currently, the list of worlds awaiting conquest still only had that one Elemental World.

However, Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry; after all, one world was already being invaded.

Although the Abyss had hundreds of thousands, it was still a bit stretched thin for planar invasions.

Increasing troops was also a crucial issue.

Ye Chen wasn't without gains these past few days.

He had already set his sights on a structure within the Abyssal Will that could perfectly solve the current problems—the Sea of Primordial Chaos!

The Sea of Primordial Chaos was also a hatching pool for Abyss creatures; it could mass-produce Abyssal Worms using the souls and flesh sacrificed during the conquest of Otherworlds.

This not only changed Worm production from manual to automated, saving time, but more importantly, it saved a massive amount of Abyss Power!

As long as there were sufficient souls and flesh, producing Worms didn't require consuming Abyss Power.

This meant there was no need to worry about troop numbers; as long as Otherworlds were continuously invaded, the number of Worms would rapidly increase.

What he liked even more was another function—Abyss Erosion.

Creatures soaked in the Sea of Primordial Chaos would be completely eroded by the Abyss, and their bodies would undergo irreversible mutations.

This mutation was somewhat similar to the Abyss's resurrection and modification.

Humans transformed into Devil Race, animals transformed into magical beasts.

The only difference was that the enhancement effect wasn't as good as during Abyss resurrection.

During Abyss resurrection, low-quality creatures could increase one rank after being resurrected, while high-quality ones would increase their strength level.

The enhancement effect of the Sea of Primordial Chaos's erosion wasn't as significant.

But it also had two major advantages.

First, it was free!

Resurrection enhancement required a considerable amount of Abyss Power; for large-scale resurrection, the consumption was even massive.

Abyss Erosion, on the other hand, directly transformed creatures without any consumption.

Second, loyalty!

Creatures that had been baptized by the Sea of Primordial Chaos would maintain absolute loyalty to the Abyss and absolute obedience to Ye Chen.

This was also what troubled Ye Chen the most before.

Now, it could be perfectly solved with just a million Abyss Power.

That's right, a full one million Abyss Power!

This was probably the Sea of Primordial Chaos's only drawback.

But today, none of these were problems.

Waste Domain, here I come!

After washing up, Ye Chen followed Zhou Mingjie to the School and stepped into the Waste Domain for the third time.

The sky in the Waste Domain was still so gloomy, but in Ye Chen's eyes, it was so lovely.

Ye Chen ran and jumped wildly in the Waste Domain, fully absorbing the negative energy.

When the Abyss Power reached a million, Ye Chen chose to build without hesitation.

The Sea of Primordial Chaos was a chaotic sea area, vast in size, and at its edge, it came with an endless Killing Beach.

Newborn Worms would undergo their first slaughter and feeding on the beach, which was similar to Ye Chen's Gu raising strategy.

Ye Chen placed the Sea of Primordial Chaos right next to the edge of Abyss Layer One.

Compared to the Sea of Primordial Chaos, Abyss Layer One was extremely tiny, like a pimple on a face.

It felt like an ant pulling a large cart...

Let's leave it like this for now; expanding the Abyss area later will be fine.

After placement was complete, he immediately ordered the Abyss's dependents from all layers to go soak, not even sparing the Abyssal Fire Spirit.

One by one, the dependents were thrown into the sea to soak, and then pulled out by the Abyssal Will.

The soaked dependents had very firm eyes; Ye Chen could see two words in their gaze—"Loyalty"!

He arranged for the Abyssal Will to supervise, ensuring that every dependent soaked at least once.

Of course, the Treants were an exception; they had other important tasks.

Having dealt with the most troublesome matter, Ye Chen's mood was much more relaxed.

Even the efficiency of absorbing negative energy increased significantly.

After the five hours ended, there were still five hundred thousand Abyss Power remaining.

Ye Chen didn't use it for now, saving it as a reserve for the Otherworld invasion war.

Out of the Waste Domain, Zhou Mingjie was still bored on the sofa, scrolling through videos.

He took him to eat some skewers again, which finally soothed his bored mind.

Bidding farewell to Zhou Mingjie, Ye Chen returned home to continue his seclusion.

The progress on the Otherworld side wasn't slow; several cities were massacred during this period, and a large amount of souls and flesh were sacrificed back.

He threw all these flesh and souls into the Sea of Primordial Chaos; the waves churned, and hundreds of thousands of Worms surged out from the sea, landing on the Killing Beach.

These Worms, whose shells hadn't hardened yet, immediately began fighting as soon as they landed.

They seemed not to know pain, completely disregarding bodily damage, only wanting to take one more bite out of their opponents.

In their minds, there was only one ultimate goal—Slaughter, Devour, Evolution!

Looking at these Worms that had fallen into madness, Ye Chen seemed to grasp the true meaning of the Abyss.

Only demons who truly emerged from the Killing Beach could be considered qualified demons.

This made Ye Chen, who had originally planned to send them to the arena or other worlds, abandon the idea.

It was better to let them slaughter and transform on this primitive beach.

The losers weren't wasted either, as their souls and Abyss Power could still be recovered.

Ten "resurrection points" were set up on the beach.

Allowing the resurrected Worms to quickly join the new round of fighting.

After doing all this, Ye Chen continued to follow the war in the Otherworld.

Currently, the Abyss army was approaching the Imperial Capital, and a decisive battle was not far off.

He asked the Abyssal Will; to sacrifice the entire world into the Abyss, the resistance forces within the world must be weakened, or the World Will must be weakened.

The World Will of some powerful worlds could recognize invasions and react accordingly.

Take that Elemental World, for example; its World Will was very powerful, and its self-defense mechanism also very complete.

If it detected a large-scale invasion by the Abyss, it could not only forcibly suppress and close the teleportation gates but also summon the Elemental creatures of that world to jointly resist the "Demons from Beyond the Domain."

Even in times of crisis, it could cultivate a "Child of Destiny" to accomplish the feat of "saving the world."

Therefore, weakening world resistance or the World Will was sometimes not just physical labor, but also a technical task.

At that time, it would test the capabilities and intelligence of the Pioneer Team.

Ye Chen also had a headache hearing this; he originally thought invasion was a very simple matter.

Break in—eliminate resistance—harvest the world.

It seemed that wasn't the case now.

However, the Abyssal Will also gave Ye Chen some comfort.

Others had World Will, but we also had Abyssal Will.

As more worlds were devoured, the Abyssal Will would become stronger and stronger.

By then, suppressing those weak World Wills would be completely not a problem.

Ye Chen could only reluctantly accept this comfort, sighing in his heart.

It's a long and arduous journey.
