Chapter 175: Assigning Tasks, Efficiency Increases Again
Within the Plane Origin Sea, multicolored clouds of light flowed incessantly. Compared to before the Demon Plane merged, a deep and active dark red texture had appeared within that light. It was as if a few heavy and powerful strokes of oil paint had been added to an originally harmonious and gorgeous painting, making the entire foundation of the Plane Origin Sea appear increasingly thick and diverse.
Lei Chen stood quietly atop the Golden Ancient Tree, his eyes slightly closed. His divine sense was like the most precise network, meticulously grooming and harmonizing the subtle fluctuations brought about by the integration of the Demon Plane's laws.
Life and Destruction, Order and Chaos, Creation and Temptation... These seemingly opposing law concepts were being guided toward a dynamic, higher-level balance at the macroscopic level of the Plane Origin Sea. The entire process was smooth and efficient, manifesting his unparalleled control over the plane's rules.
Once the last ripple of the laws was smoothed over, ensuring that the newly integrated traits of 'Chaos' and 'Destruction' would be transformed into the driving force for the plane's evolution rather than a hidden danger, Lei Chen slowly opened his eyes.
With a slight thought, an invisible intent crossed through space, communicating directly into the heart of Du Busi, who was currently familiarizing himself with his new authority in the Demon Space.
A moment later, Du Busi's figure appeared on the periphery of the Plane Origin Sea. His aura was more restrained than before, but the majesty of governing a world between his brows had become increasingly apparent.
He walked quickly to the foot of the Golden Ancient Tree and bowed respectfully to Lei Chen at the top of the tree:
"Plane Master, you have summoned me. What are your instructions?" Du Busi's voice was sonorous, carrying a reverence from the bottom of his heart. He knew full well that he owed his current status entirely to the grace of the being before him.
Lei Chen's figure moved slightly, and he drifted down from the treetop. Standing before Du Busi, his gaze swept over him. Feeling the perfect fusion of the stable Demon Plane origin power and his own god-level cultivation within Du Busi's body, Lei Chen nodded slightly in approval.
"I summoned you here because there is a matter I need you to handle." Lei Chen went straight to the point, his tone flat but unquestionable.
He raised his hand and pointed toward the interior of the Golden Ancient Tree, at that giant energy sphere that was still slowly rotating and emitting a heart-palpitating dark red light—that was the core material and energy origin of the Abyss Plane. Although its volume was a circle smaller than at the beginning, the energy it contained was still as vast as the sea, and the refining process was long and continuous.
"This is the remains of the Abyss Plane. Its energy level is extremely high, and it is not easy to refine. Even with Bi Ji driving the Golden Ancient Tree to absorb it day and night, it will still take quite some time to completely transform it into resources for our world," Lei Chen explained. "Now that you are the Lord of Demons, your status is stable, and the laws you wield also contain 'Destruction' and 'Devour' characteristics, which have some similarities with this abyss energy."
Du Busi looked in the direction Lei Chen pointed. Seeing that huge dark red sphere, even from a distance, he could feel the terrifying energy contained within. His heart turned solemn as he seemed to guess something.
Sure enough, Lei Chen continued: "I intend to separate a portion of energy from this main light sphere and hand it over to you to assist in refining. Relying on your authority as the Lord of Demons and your own god-level cultivation, you should be able to gradually dissolve and purify this portion of energy and feed it back into the plane."
"In this way, it can both reduce the burden on the Golden Ancient Tree and accelerate the entire refining process. For you personally, refining this kind of high-level energy is also an excellent tempering of your cultivation and status. It can be called a win-win situation."
Before his voice had even faded, Lei Chen raised his hand and made an empty gesture toward that giant abyss light sphere.
A concentrated multicolored light shot out from his fingertip, like the most precise surgical knife, cutting into the dark red light sphere silently.
Immediately after, a small dark red light sphere, about one-tenth the size of the original but still appearing to have vast energy, was forcibly stripped away and slowly flew toward Lei Chen's palm.
Although this small light sphere was small, its energy density was extremely high. The dark red energy on the surface flowed like liquid, and inside, there seemed to be countless tiny shadows of Abyss Creatures struggling and roaring, emitting an unsettling aura.
Lei Chen held this mass of energy and looked at Du Busi: "How about it? Can you handle it?"
Du Busi looked at that energy sphere floating in Lei Chen's palm, emitting an alluring yet dangerous aura, and a blazing light instantly erupted in his eyes.
How could he not understand the benefits? This was not just a task, but another instance of trust and reward from the Plane Master! The process of refining this abyss energy would certainly be arduous and even carry risks, but once successful, the benefits obtained would be unimaginable. It would not only consolidate his newly acquired authority but also allow his divine power cultivation to reach another level!
Without any hesitation, he immediately knelt on one knee and held his hands high, as if receiving a sacred object. His voice trembled slightly due to excitement: "Subordinate will definitely do my utmost and not fail the heavy trust of the Plane Master! I will thoroughly refine this energy and use it to nurture the plane!"
Lei Chen nodded with satisfaction. With a gentle push from his palm, that small dark red light sphere slowly descended and floated steadily above Du Busi's raised palms.
As the light sphere came into his possession, Du Busi immediately felt a sense of energy as heavy as a mountain yet as cold as ice. The vast energy contained within tried to assault his mind, but it was easily suppressed by his powerful god-level blood vitality and the authority of the Demon Plane.
"Mhm, when refining, you must proceed step by step; do not be overeager for success. If there is any abnormality, you can report to me at any time through the plane connection," Lei Chen instructed.
"Subordinate understands!" Du Busi responded solemnly, carefully putting away the small light sphere, preparing to take it back to his own Demon Space to refine it slowly.
After finishing the instructions regarding the energy refining, Lei Chen changed the subject and mentioned the original creatures of the Demon Plane: "As for those demon creatures originally from the Demon Plane..."
Du Busi immediately interjected: "Please give your instructions, Plane Master. Do you need me to personally take action and..." A sharp look flashed in his eyes, the meaning of which went without saying. As the new Plane Master, clearing out those chaotic and dangerous old creatures was a matter of course in his view.
However, Lei Chen shook his head: "No need. Those remnant demons have strength at most equivalent to a Limit Douluo, and having lost the coordination of the plane's will, they have become disorganized soldiers and are not a concern. The matter of purging them can be left to Mu En, Ye Xishui, and the others to handle."
"They are currently training in that space of yours and need suitable opponents to temper themselves and accumulate merit. Your current primary task is to familiarize yourself with and stabilize your own realm as quickly as possible, while simultaneously refining this mass of abyss energy."
Hearing this, Du Busi immediately grasped Lei Chen's profound meaning. This was to combine troop training and cleanup work into one. It could both train Mu En and the others and solve the problem of the demon creatures; there was indeed no need for him, the newly ascended Lord of Demons, to personally deal with those'small fry.'
He immediately bowed and said, "Yes! Subordinate understands. I will definitely focus on refining the energy and will not interfere with Mu En and the others' actions."
"Very well, go then." Lei Chen waved his hand.
"Subordinate takes his leave!" Du Busi bowed respectfully once more. Then, carrying a sense of excitement and mission, he turned into a stream of light and left the Plane Origin Sea, returning to the Demon Space to begin his new journey of refining abyss energy while stabilizing his own authority.
