1038: Conversation (II)

In the main hall, Wang Chen comforted Qing Yunzi.

He grandly declared that the Dead Spirit Race, which had been entrenched in the Netherworld for a thousand years, would not require Qing Yunzi and his people to contribute a single soldier; it would be entirely resolved by Blue Star, or rather, by Dragon Country alone.

This was not a baseless promise, but a genuinely foreseeable scenario.

After centuries of development, everything on Blue Star was thriving, yet the upward progression of the Awakener system had been quite slow.

This was not due to anything else, but rather because of resources—specifically, the wild monsters and Demonic Beasts that could provide experience points were simply not enough to go around.

It was precisely for this reason that Blue Star had designated wild monster gathering areas in some regions, ensuring the survival of wild monsters, and constantly searching for world fragments to transform into Secret Realm Dungeons.

However, this was merely a temporary solution and could only meet the demands of newly-transferred Awakeners and low-Rank Awakeners.

After all, the strongest monsters in those wild monster gathering areas were only equivalent to Rank 4, providing very generous experience to Rank 4 and below Awakeners, but being a drop in the bucket for those above Rank 4.

This also led to a situation where powerful monsters were incredibly rare.

The Rank of many powerhouses on Blue Star had stagnated for decades, even centuries.

Even someone like Bai Ziting, the top Genius of Dragon Country before Wang Chen appeared, took nearly thirty years to reach Nine Revolution in strength.

This speed was not Bai Ziting's limit, but Blue Star's limit.

After a Awakener's strength reached Seven-Turn or Eight-Turn, they would enter a long period of stagnation, with no monsters to kill!

High-Rank monsters, even on Blue Star, had become a strategic resource.

For example…

The Radiant Small World, which Wang Chen had once visited, was a strategic location for Dragon Country, reserved for Awakeners about to advance to the next stage for their cultivation.

Ordinarily, large-scale slaughter of wild monsters and Demonic Beasts was simply impossible; it was against regulations!

Even so, countless Legions still fought tooth and nail to be stationed there.

After all, while they couldn't actively hunt wild monsters and Demonic Beasts, they could occasionally suppress the Magic Tide formed by wild monsters and Demonic Beasts gathering together.

Once a major Magic Tide occurred, the Awakeners of the entire Legion would likely be ecstatic.

That represented a chance for their own Rank to be further boosted.

Speaking of which, the reason why Dragon Country's Fierce Tiger Legion and Mountain Moving Legion, stationed in the Huiguang World, were so respectful of Wang Chen also had a lot to do with the Evil God he lured out before leaving the Huiguang World.

In that battle to hunt the Evil God, everyone in the Fierce Tiger Legion and Mountain Moving Legion gained considerable benefits.

Getting back to the main point, if a Small World like the Huiguang World, where the strongest wild monsters and Demonic Beasts were only equivalent to Nine Revolution Awakeners and their numbers could be counted on one hand, was designated a strategic location and coveted by countless Awakeners as prime meat, then the value of the Netherworld was even more self-evident.

The Undead here were incredibly vast in number, at least in the hundreds of millions.

And the number of powerhouses among them was even more exaggerated!

Wang Chen roughly calculated that the Ninth-Order Undead equivalent to Blue Star's Rank 250 and above wild monsters and Demonic Beasts that had died by his hand already exceeded twenty.

And this, if not counting Kahn and the three Late Stage Ninth-Order Undead, this loss was not even a major blow to the Dead Spirit Race.

It's hard to imagine how immense the experience point wealth contained within this Dead Spirit Race is!

Once the cross-world passage connects the two worlds, those Awakeners in Dragon Country who are stuck on the verge of advancement, suffering from a lack of monsters to kill, will probably have their eyes turn red!

Not to mention letting them work for free, even if they had to prepare their own logistics, they would be extremely willing!

At this moment, Qing Yunzi was completely astonished by what Wang Chen had said.

He had never imagined that the Undead calamity he had always worried about would one day be completely resolved without him having to expend a single ounce of effort.

That would save tens of millions of Human Race from disaster.

At this moment, Qing Yunzi felt a deep sense of shame for his previous thoughts.

He had actually worried that the world behind Wang Chen had ulterior motives for the Netherworld; it was simply too wrong!

Wang Chen's homeland was absolutely a great world, a great nation!

“Grand True Lord Wang Chen, I once again represent the Xuantian Holy Land, and the Human Race of the Netherworld, to express my gratitude to you.”

As Qing Yunzi spoke, he was about to bow again.

“Senior, you are too polite; we are simply getting what we need!”

Wang Chen quickly supported Qing Yunzi, saying with a smile.

“No, no, no, the Netherworld has been suffering from the harm of the Undead for a thousand years, and now the Dead Spirit Race's erosion of the World Origin has begun again. If it cannot be contained, the entire Netherworld will be destroyed in an instant.”

“Grand True Lord Wang Chen, you and the people of your homeland, if you resolve the Dead Spirit Race, you will be the saviors of the entire Netherworld!”

“You are the benefactors of all the Human Race and even all living beings in the Netherworld!”

Qing Yunzi tightly grasped Wang Chen's hand, speaking with agitation.

“Hmm?”

Wang Chen was about to persuade Qing Yunzi not to be so, but after hearing Qing Yunzi's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face.

“The Dead Spirit Race's erosion of the World Origin has begun again?”

“Senior, could you elaborate?”

Pulling Qing Yunzi to a nearby seat, Wang Chen asked solemnly.

He was very clear about what the entire world would become after its World Origin was completely eroded.

And he had personally witnessed it during his Hell difficulty transfer mission.

It was an incredibly terrifying scene; the entire world had completely fallen into darkness and endless despair, with no hope left.

At the same time, while waiting for Qing Yunzi's answer, a doubt also arose in Wang Chen's mind.

The state of the Netherworld's World Origin had been balanced for a thousand years, so why did it suddenly worsen at this time? Was there some external force that caused this change?

“This change should be related to the Mother Goddess of the Undead.”

Sitting on the chair, Qing Yunzi said with extreme solemnity.

“Mother Goddess of the Undead?”

“Could it be that the Dead Spirit Race's Mother Goddess Return Plan is about to succeed?”

Wang Chen blurted out the question upon hearing this.

Qing Yunzi's words reminded him of the information he had learned from Zoltan, the Ninth-Order powerhouse of Blade City of the Dead, when he was in the Demon Beast Forest.

The Dead Spirit Race was using continuous blood sacrifices to re-energize the remaining body of the Mother Goddess of the Undead, allowing the Mother Goddess of the Undead to revive from the remains.

“What?”

“Mother Goddess Return Plan?”

But after Wang Chen finished speaking, he didn't expect Qing Yunzi to jump directly from his chair, looking at him with a face full of astonishment.

“Where did you learn about this plan?”

Clutching Wang Chen's arm tightly with both hands, Qing Yunzi asked impatiently.

“Senior, you don't know?”

Wang Chen widened his eyes, looking at Qing Yunzi in disbelief:

“This is something I extracted from a Ninth-Order Undead in Blade City.”
