Ye Chen knew nothing of these matters. He had already done everything he needed to do. Though the situation before him was somewhat complicated, it had ultimately been settled.
The Reserve Team Member slots had also been narrowed down to seven people: Ye Yu, Mu Yiyi, Qin Mo, Song Xiaoxiao, An Xia, and the young couple Yuan Feng and Zhu Mengying.
Since Ye Chen had skipped the reserve team and become a Main Team Member directly, the talents of these seven were in no way inferior to Bei Bei's generation.
Watching Ye Yu's retreating figure fade into the distance, Ye Chen fell into brief contemplation.
The world was indeed changing. According to the original course of events, it should have been impossible for someone of the same age to possess talent even more monstrous than Huo Yuhao's—let alone for that person to have joined Shrek and become a member of the reserve team.
Ye Chen could say with certainty that, in terms of talent alone, Ye Yu was indeed stronger than Huo Yuhao. If Huo Yuhao had not encountered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Bei Bei, he might very well never have joined Shrek. He would have married, had children, and lived an utterly ordinary life.
Ye Chen even had a premonition that Ye Yu's appearance was the Heavenly Dao's silent intervention, an attempt to set the disrupted timeline back on track.
If that were truly the case, Ye Yu's existence would bring Ye Chen enormous trouble.
But speculation was ultimately just speculation. Whether it was Ye Chen or Shrek, they would devote all their efforts to nurturing Ye Yu. Soldiers would come, and generals would stop them; water would come, and earth would dam it. Ye Chen feared no challenge.
