227: Guerrilla warfare

“Then why don’t they consume them themselves? For example, during a civil War, they could still seize territory,” Lin Ye asked.

“No matter whether they fight or not, we must hunt them. Instead of initiating a War and losing elites, it’s better to let cannon fodder die and preserve the elites to maintain their rule. The three existing empires, which were once small places, grew larger by understanding this point.”

Lin Ye was speechless; there were actually monarchs who would betray their own race for profit.

This isn't right, is it?

It seemed his wish to rely on collective power against the Undead Empire had fallen through.

A sad and disheartened Lin Ye left the team.

The hunting of Undead still needed to continue, as his main body was once again short on materials.

However, the Kamos Empire was targeting him. Well, he didn't know if they were targeting him yet, as, strictly speaking, he was considered Death in their eyes.

But he still needed to lie low to avoid being targeted again.

That meant he could only go to other empires.

The other two empires were the Undead Empire and the Undead Scourge Empire.

Lin Ye, having learned from his last experience, was already very proficient.

Hit and run, no, directly change empires.

Then he would lie low for a while.

During this period of lying low, he naturally wasn't idle, going to places the Undead Empire couldn't reach to hunt Undead.

Moreover, this time he wouldn't send his main body, but rather use a clone to lead the charge.

Although this type of clone couldn't go too far, it was enough for Lin Ye to avoid many dangers.

He also discovered the difference between the Undead Empire and the Undead Scourge and the Kamos Empire.

They were practically two different kinds of creatures; in the first two empires, he simply couldn't see the loyal Undead Knight s found within the Kamos Empire.

Lin Ye's heart tightened; seeing the small, he knew the large. From the details, it was clear that the Kamos Empire's ruler was far from simple.

Therefore, in his subsequent actions, Lin Ye rarely went to the Kamos Empire to cause trouble.

.......

Fifty years passed in a flash.

“Damn it, which bug is it?” The monarch of the Undead Empire was furious.

“I will definitely catch you,” the monarch of the Undead Scourge was also very angry.

Their two nations had suffered too heavy losses.

They wanted to send people to encircle and annihilate him, but Lin Ye was too cunning. What they often encircled were clones, and even if they happened to discover his main body, Lin Ye would drill into the Netherworld, leaving them helpless.

Under deliberate guidance, the three monarchs sent envoys to discuss a joint bandit suppression.

“Have you found that kid?”

“No, after our national master pursued him once, he became very cunning.”

“I don’t know how he got that ability to drill into Netherworld water; ordinary creatures would have long turned into idiots.”

“Damn it, our strength has been weakened by ten percent because of him.”

This ten percent was not simple. The Undead Empire had basically recruited almost all the strong individuals from the Netherworld, so their strength essentially represented the entire strength of the Netherworld.

But the strength of the entire Netherworld plummeted because of Lin Ye.

Of course, it wasn't just because of him. The deeper reason was that he set a bad precedent, breaking the hidden rules, which made those who also hunted Undead somewhat unable to hold back, and they also chose to hunt high-level Undead.

“Our strength accumulated for tens of thousands of years to reach this scale. Damn it, so much has been consumed.”

“He must be taught a lesson.”

The three representatives conspired to encircle and annihilate Lin Ye.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye was currently hiding in a coffin, lying low.

After sleeping in a coffin once, he realized that this thing was too suitable for hiding. Graves were everywhere in the Netherworld, and hiding inside was completely inconspicuous.

Of course, there was also a most important factor—Lin Ye's skill, Aura Simulation.

This was a skill specially created for guerrilla Warfare, and its effect was very good. Although it was only a Star Domain Level skill, it could reach a level that even a general Stellar River Level could not detect.

Combined with a coffin, it was simply seamless.

“The intensity of the search has been increasing recently. It seems I need to lie low,” Lin Ye, with his keen perception, naturally knew about the Undead’s search.

However, this was not the time to withdraw. After a series of in-depth and detailed reconnaissance on the Kamos Empire, Lin Ye keenly perceived the hidden and extremely inflated ambition of its monarch, Angus.

The loyalty and trust of this ruler's subordinates towards him were beyond imagination. They blindly worshiped their leader and revered him as a god. This phenomenon made Lin Ye wonder: Could it be that Angus was attempting to ascend to godhood with the unwavering power of his subordinates' faith?

Ascending to godhood through faith was a very common path. Whether it was demons, angels, or ordinary creatures, all could walk the path of faith.

The most proficient in this aspect were angels, as the existence of the Angel Reincarnation Pool and their racial characteristics made them most suitable for the path of ascending to godhood through faith.

But this path could also be taken by other races, even Undead or demons.

Angus's ambition was to rely on the faith of his subordinates, accumulate the power of faith, and then ignite his divine flame to become the Undead Lord.

Lin Ye disdained this path. This kind of power was like rootless duckweed; once faith was lost, the divine flame would extinguish.

In contrast, Lin Ye preferred to rely on his own efforts and struggles to explore his true cultivation path, igniting the flame of law himself.

But no matter how false it was, one could not deny the power brought by the path of ascending to godhood through faith. If Angus became a god, it would bring about many variables.

The first to be affected would be the Tiya People. They might be overwhelmed by Angus after he became a god.

It would also have a huge impact on Lin Ye himself. After Angus became a god, how could he continue to tolerate others slaughtering his people?

At that time, every Undead would be his potential believer. As long as faith spread comprehensively, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

The Tiya People were unreliable. The ignorant Tiya People’s brains were not even as big as walnuts. Lin Ye had warned them twice, but they didn’t pay much attention. They had been too comfortable collecting entrance fees for too long and had already become corrupt.

The physical potential of the Tiya People seemed to have been exchanged for their brains.

However, Lin Ye didn't really intend to stop Angus. The difficulty was too great. He just wanted to safely collect the Youming Fire for his main body's cultivation.

......

The Humans who had completely abandoned the unwritten rules and the Undead of the Netherworld became increasingly volatile, but surprisingly, no War broke out.

This surprised everyone. When did the Undead become so patient? But clever people had already seen the undercurrents brewing.

Because more Humans were breaking the unwritten rules, Lin Ye, as the scapegoat, became less conspicuous. The Undead seemed to have forgotten him, and even the intensity of their search had significantly decreased. This was good news for Lin Ye, and his hunting of Undead became even more frequent.
