Chapter 900: Breaking the Sacrificial Array

The night was already deep, yet Lingyun's room remained brightly lit.

Andiya had set up a Shielding Array in the room, preventing those outside from seeing what was happening within.

An Array Disk hovered before Lingyun, who was continuously deducing the Sacrificial Array that shrouded the entire Norton Imperial City.

"Lingyun, have you spotted anything unusual?" Aiweier asked Lingyun.

"There are some unusual things, but I cannot be certain," Lingyun said, shaking his head.

"Cannot be certain?" There was a hint of doubt in Andiya's tone.

"That's right. Although this array looks very similar to an Undead Sacrificial Array, some parts have been specially modified, making the entire array seem plausible yet not quite right. I am currently trying to deduce what changes will occur in the array after such modifications." Lingyun's fingers tapped lightly on the Array Disk, continuously changing the configuration of the disk.

"If we can decipher the purpose of this array, will we be able to know what the Underworld Emperor is actually planning?" Andiya asked.

"Even if we cannot fully infer his intentions, we can still cause some interference with his goal." Lingyun flicked his finger, changing the position of another Array Flag.

"Then how long will this deduction take?"

"I am not sure about that," Lingyun said, shrugging his shoulders. "In fact, this thing sometimes depends on luck. Sometimes you might make a slight adjustment and it happens to be the exact position needed, but most of the time is spent in trial and error."

"Can I give it a try?" Aiweier looked at Lingyun, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

"Sure!" Lingyun had no intention of refusing; instead, he took out another Array Disk and handed it to Aiweier. After all, he himself would occasionally have lapses, and having another person might spark some inspiration.

After thinking for a moment, Lingyun took out another Array Disk and handed it to Andiya. They couldn't just have the two of them working while Andiya sat there doing nothing.

The night passed as the three of them adjusted their Array Disks. After a night of adjustments, Lingyun was not without gains; at the very least, he understood that this array was still a Sacrificial Array, though it remained unclear exactly what was being sacrificed.

"It's still a Sacrificial Array!" There was a hint of disgust in Andiya's tone.

It was not that Andiya had any prejudice against sacrificial arrays, but in many cases, the things sacrificed in such arrays were exceptionally bloody. As a Spirit, Andiya inevitably felt some repulsion toward this.

"As long as we can figure out what the other party intends to sacrifice, we can destroy it at the root and interrupt their plan."

Lingyun drew up a table listing things that could be used for sacrifice. By adjusting the array based on these sacrificial items, the progress of the array analysis could be greatly improved.

Having adjusted the Array Disk for an entire night, Lingyun felt somewhat exhausted. He put down the disk and casually picked up a battle report from beside Aiweier.

Judging from the situation in the battle report, the situation on the Continent was actually relatively stable. The various gods who had arrived at the God-Given Continent from the God Realm had each marked out an area to guard. With the addition of the God Race, everyone had gained corresponding confidence in resisting the Undead Calamity.

Of course, this was also because the various God Race members were thinking of their own home; the God-Given Continent was the foundation of the God Realm. If something went wrong with the God-Given Continent, the God Realm would not fare any better. In a sense, the interests of the God Race and the God-Given Continent were tied together.

However, many problems had also emerged in the process. Most importantly, undead of the god-tier finally began to appear frequently. From the initial Cyclops to the later Titans and Demonic Apes, a total of six god-tier undead had appeared on the Continent. Fortunately, there were also many god-tier individuals on the side of the God Race, who firmly suppressed these god-tier undead. However, they were only able to suppress them; they still lacked the strength to eliminate them.

"Six have already appeared?" Lingyun put down the battle report in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

Compared to gods, god-tier undead lacked some combat methods, but their immortality was greatly enhanced. Under these circumstances, it was quite difficult to kill a god-tier undead without special means.

"These god-tier undead are all powerful combat forces in the hands of the Underworld Emperor. If we could find a way to kill them, it would surely greatly weaken the Underworld Emperor's strength. But these undead have always prioritized self-preservation; if they can't win, they run. We haven't been able to leave them behind completely." Andiya also put down the intelligence in her hand.

"If they can't win, they run. That is indeed a rather troublesome point!" Lingyun did not have any particularly good method for the moment.

Without Oufeina and Aiweier, the God Race indeed lacked powerhouses capable of delivering a decisive blow. When facing god-tier undead, unless there were gods willing to fight with a life-or-death attitude, it was truly impossible to keep these undead from escaping.

"Has it only been a thousand years, and those guys have already fallen to this extent?" Aiweier's voice carried a hint of gnashing teeth.

"Sometimes, comfort is indeed the thing that can most easily destroy a person's fighting spirit," Lingyun said.

"Then let them drag it out for now. Once we solve the matter here, we will go to support them!" Lingyun picked up the Array Disk in his hand again.

After staying in the Norton Imperial City for three full days, the Array Disk in Lingyun's hand finally began to spin rapidly.

"Lingyun, have you cracked this array?" Looking at the Array Disk in Lingyun's hand, Aiweier leaned over with a curious expression.

"That's right." Lingyun looked at the fully transformed Array Disk in his hand and finally understood what that guy Moqi was trying to do.

This Sacrificial Array was actually sacrificing the Fate of the Norton Empire. However, under normal circumstances, the Fate of the Norton Empire was very stable, and even if Moqi wanted to move it, he couldn't. But there was one time when the Empire's Fate was turbulent: when the Norton Emperor died and the imperial power had not yet been transferred. No wonder Moqi wanted to make a move against the Norton Emperor; he was waiting for the very moment the Norton Emperor died. As for what impact sacrificing the Norton Empire's Fate would have on the Norton Empire, that was not something Moqi would worry about at all.

"Since we have figured out the truth behind the Sacrificial Array, it is time to take action!"

Lingyun knew that if Moqi sensed the abnormality in the Norton Emperor, he might act ahead of schedule, so he decided to immediately set out to break the Sacrificial Array.
