1090: Shocking News

After leaving Mogu City, Wang Chen fled a thousand miles away, then found a desolate wilderness, and opened up a cave to temporarily hide.

Clang!

He blocked the entrance with a huge rock, and mobilized a trace of the Law of Earth to connect the rock with the surroundings, then took out a night-shining pearl to illuminate, and at the same time released Ambros from the Spirit Pet Bag.

At this moment, Ambros had completely lost the demeanor of a former Dead Spirit Holy City Lord, and was so disheveled that he looked like a beggar.

His whole body was soaked in blood.

If Wang Chen hadn't used his power to stabilize his injuries after his power source was destroyed, Ambros would have died long ago.

"If you're awake, stop pretending to be dead!"

He casually slapped Ambros's face, and even though Wang Chen controlled his strength, he still sent him flying directly into the cave wall.

"Cough cough!"

"Dream on, this venerable one will never betray the Holy Clan. Just kill me, don't be delusional!"

Ambros coughed up a mouthful of blood, then stiffened his neck, closed his eyes, and begged for death, looking like he refused to cooperate.

"Heh heh!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen smiled speechlessly.

"Do you think I have no way to deal with you if you refuse to cooperate?"

"How ridiculous!"

"It would be so much better if you just answered my questions honestly, but you insist on forcing me to use some methods on you."

Reaching out to pull Ambros from the edge of the rock wall, Wang Chen snapped his fingers with his other free hand.

"Susu, time to work!"

Whoosh!

Ambros was looking at Wang Chen with disdain, wanting to see what tricks Wang Chen could pull, but then his eyes blurred, and a pure white Nine-tailed Fox with nine tails appeared before him.

"Hmm?!"

Although this Nine-tailed Fox was about the size of a pet, Ambros instantly realized that this was the Nine-tailed Beast that had rampaged through the Mogu City area not long ago.

"What are you going to do?"

"If you have the guts, just kill me directly! What kind of skill is it to torment me?!"

A hint of panic flashed in Ambros's eyes. Although he was not afraid of death, he also did not want to experience the feeling of being torn apart and devoured by a monster little by little.

Clearly, he thought Wang Chen was going to use him as food for the Nine-tailed Fox.

However, he was not on the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's menu.

"What are you yelling about? So annoying!"

"Stay still!"

Susu hopped onto Wang Chen's shoulder, slapped Ambros's forehead with a paw, and then her eyes suddenly turned into a peach-pink vortex.

Mark of Enslavement!

A powerful Mental Energy burst forth, instantly rushing into Ambros's mind.

If Ambros's power source had not been destroyed, he would not have feared this powerful Mental Energy at all, and could have dispelled it with a single thought.

However, now that his power was destroyed, except for his preserved Qi and blood, all his other methods were useless, and he surrendered instantly under the Mark of Enslavement without any resistance.

"Tell me, what's the situation with your Mother Goddess?"

Seeing that Ambros was completely controlled, Wang Chen casually threw him to the ground, then sat on a rock and asked indifferently.

"Reporting to Master, the High Priest resurrected the Mother Goddess by sacrificing tens of millions of clansmen, but the Mother Goddess's resurrection was not perfect. Her strength did not reach her former level, but fell by a small Realm, and after breaking the barrier between the inner and outer worlds, she entered a weakened state."

Ambros knelt on the ground, speaking with extreme reverence, completely unaware that revealing such a secret was inappropriate.

"Strength fell by a small Realm?"

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, becoming interested.

He had long suspected that the Mother Goddess of the Undead was in a weakened state, so he was not surprised. However, he was very interested in the Mother Goddess of the Undead's own strength.

After all, this Mother Goddess of the Undead was able to fight three against one a thousand years ago, suppressing and severely beating the Peak Tenth-Rank Great Emperors of the Netherworld Human Clan, and finally taking them down with her.

Wang Chen felt that the experience points such an existence could provide would probably allow him to jump ten or twenty levels directly.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen asked with interest:

"What Realm is your Mother Goddess's strength currently in?"

"According to the High Priest, the Goddess's strength fell from the Middle Stage Peak of a Controller to the Early Stage Peak of a Controller."

"And because of the resurrection, it will be extremely difficult to fully restore her strength!"

Ambros said respectfully.

"Oh?"

"Controller Early Stage Peak? That is to say, it is Tenth-Rank Early Stage Peak."

Wang Chen nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Ambros with some surprise.

Tenth-Rank is also called Controller. Many beings in closed worlds within the All Heavens and Myriad Realms do not know this.

For example, the Human Race of the Netherworld, they call Tenth-Rank Great Emperors.

Before Blue Star, there was no understanding of this either.

Now hearing this term from Ambros's mouth made Wang Chen feel particularly surprised.

This likely means that the Dead Spirit Race has an extraordinary origin.

And killing the Dead Spirit Race can gain experience points, does this mean that the Dead Spirit Race is related to the Demon Calamity and that unknown war?

Thinking to himself, Wang Chen looked at Ambros and asked:

"Tenth-Rank is called Controller. Although it is a recognized strength title in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, beings in closed worlds cannot know it. Where exactly does your Dead Spirit Race come from?"

"Master, this servant also only knows a little about it."

"According to oral tradition, our clan should live in the Limitless Void and have a very large population, but due to some unforeseen circumstances a thousand years ago, we accidentally drifted into the Netherworld."

"This servant once accidentally collected a fragmented diary. The diary's recorder was one of the first clansmen to come to the Netherworld a thousand years ago. Because too much time has passed, there is very little information in the diary, only vaguely stating that the reason our clan appeared near the Netherworld back then seemed to be because those clansmen who perished a thousand years ago came to this area to perform some kind of mission. The Mother Goddess was the leader of the team."

"In the diary, that ancient clansman's address for the Mother Goddess seemed to be... Legion Commander?"

"It's a pity that this diary was already damaged when I found it, and then it was destroyed by the High Priest who found out about it. Otherwise, this servant would definitely have offered it to Master."

Ambros racked his brains, revealing everything he knew.

"This..."

After listening to his words, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but show a hint of shock on his face.

The origin of this Dead Spirit Race seems to be connected to something very terrifying!

The Mother Goddess of the Undead, who plagued the entire Netherworld and almost turned this Realm into a dead zone, came here merely because she accidentally entered while performing a mission, and she was called a Legion Commander...

This title is clearly a rank in some established team.

At this moment, Wang Chen couldn't help but think of the rank divisions in the Dragon Country's army.

Squad leaders who command ten people, Centurions who command a hundred people, Commanders Zhu who command a thousand people, Commanders Zhu who command ten thousand people...

If the Mother Goddess's team was also like this, were there not also Commanders Zhu, and even Marshals and a host of other high-ranking officials above her?
