In this age, such beings can no longer exist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the palace, in the only place untouched by Abyssal Fire, a Dragon King lay bound in heavy chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood in the Demon Emperor’s cup came from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor took a slow sip, savoring the taste. After licking his lips, he flicked a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phantom blade appeared beneath the Dragon King, impossibly sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sliced through the Dragon King’s thick scales, and a globule of blood floated upward before falling neatly into the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank again and murmured: “Jiang Yi is about to resurrect. The humans will gain another half-step Transcendent God-level powerhouse. What a pity… a half-step is still just a half-step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After being dead for so long, why return? You were better off gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Soul Fusion Grand Formation… You must have learned it from Antares. That old fool still favors the humans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Lin Moyu, you’re truly interesting. Even with a kill order on your head, you still survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suppose I’ll wait until you enter the deep layer before killing you. Something to look forward to, at least.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Emperor muttered to himself again and again, his faint voice drifting through the vast palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, he was utterly alone. The empty hall had been his home for who knew how many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking to himself was the only way to stave off his loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze could pierce the entire Abyss, even glimpse fragments of the Immemorial Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what of it? After endless years, even the grandest vistas lost their allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few things could stir the Demon Emperor’s interest anymore. Lin Moyu was one of the rare exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for God-level beings like Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen, he merely issued some commands from time to time, toying with them for amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imprisoned Dragon King roared endlessly, yet his voice was swallowed by the Abyssal Fire, unable to travel beyond its burning prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair filled his eyes. Falling into the Demon Emperor’s hands, he knew his fate was to become nothing more than food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the raising gu plan advanced steadily. Meng Anwen worked tirelessly, setting formation after formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the plan, the military and great families would mobilize over a hundred thousand people to serve as vessels for the Soul Devouring Beasts, allowing those creatures to grow stronger within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul Devouring Beasts absorbed various forms of energy, refining it all into soul force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Soul Fusion Grand Formation was activated, that soul force would be gathered and purified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it would be channeled into Lin Moyu, strengthening his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the combined soul force of hundreds of thousands, perhaps even a million, Soul Devouring Beasts, the resulting soul force would be immense, far beyond what Lin Moyu alone could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Meng Anwen’s calculations, he could absorb at most 20% to 30% of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remainder would be divided among Meng Anwen and the other God-level powerhouses, enhancing their own souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul was one of the fundamental powers of a God-level being, and the strength of one’s soul often determined the level of their power and realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Meng Anwen’s calculations, even with several God-level experts sharing the overflow of soul force, they would still be unable to consume it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remained would flow back to every participant in the plan as a form of compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Meng Anwen’s design, a plan both pragmatic and self-serving, but one that had to be carried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sought advancement, and the Soul Devouring Beasts provided that chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be deaths, yes—sacrifices that could not be avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Meng Anwen could do was ensure the fallen’s families were cared for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu returned to the White God Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quiet, eerily so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in his memory, the courtyard stood empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Meng Anwen had always been there, lounging comfortably in his chair, as if he had nothing better to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only silence greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu sat in his usual spot and poured himself a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drank it in one gulp. Warmth spread through his chest, calming his restless heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had finally reached level 60.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, upon returning, he was to awaken new skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been less than two years since his first class awakening, a pace of growth nothing short of astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Lin Mohan, no one could compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu held an Intermediate Flesh Skill Scroll in his hand. As a mesmerizing golden light radiated from it, he whispered softly, “Teachers, I’m starting now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he were speaking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, every time he awakened a skill, Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan had been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he stood alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang, the Intermediate Flesh Skill Scroll burst apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light flared outward, scattering starlight through the air, looking dazzling and brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the starlight, Lin Moyu began to sense and search for the skill source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight flowed into him, stirring his skill source, tracing its very root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the radiant thread, he gradually saw the place of origin of his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Points of light shimmered before him, each one glowing like a star in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the skills he had already awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among them, he noticed several dark, unlit points, skills yet to be awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, one of those dark points began to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a single Intermediate Flash Skill Scroll was enough to activate a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something felt different this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it because of me?” Lin Moyu wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense the difference clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That point representing the skill was larger than that of ordinary skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This skill… it’s powerful. One Intermediate Flash Scroll Skill isn’t enough to awaken it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusting his intuition, Lin Moyu unhesitatingly activated two more Intermediate Flash Skill Scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others used one, he used three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t had plenty of skill scrolls, it would have been an unbearable waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of starlight poured into his body, fusing with the awakening process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That mysterious energy fascinated him. It was the very power that allowed ordinary people to become class users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight within him surged, stronger and stronger, until it felt as if it might overflow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all at once, it converged upon that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark point flared to life, burning brighter and brighter until it became a radiant star within the dark sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu watched in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the skill point was activated, a subtle, inexplicable connection formed between him and the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his other skills, this newly awakened one felt more natural, more in tune with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the skill activated, starlike light burst forth, illuminating every corner of his body and merging into every fiber of his being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Acquired skill: Summon Skeletal King]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summon Skeletal King: gather the skeletons of your undead army to summon a mighty Skeletal King. A Skeletal King has to be forged from at least 10,000 skeletons.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This skill had no level; there was no need for tedious grinding. Its power depended solely on the number of skeletons used in the summoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest version required 10,000 skeletons, yet there was no upper limit to its potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now at level 60, Lin Moyu commanded 40 undead legions, each composed of 1,230 skeletons, for a total of 49,200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thrill surged through him. Just how powerful would the Skeletal King be, forged from every one of his skeletons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to test whether the summoned Skeletal King would benefit from his Comprehensive Amplification talent’s 70x boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Moyu never doubted his strength. His skills had only ever grown stronger, never weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his anticipation, he activated the fourth Intermediate Flash Skill Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlight erupted once more, enveloping him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the sea of light and undead aura surrounding him, Lin Moyu sat in solemn majesty, like the God of Death descending upon the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1462,"2026-06-06T10:27:20.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","66daa2d8865ce2159b763d290ada1711de5df3881d56c9c98984990abeef22a0","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-558","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-556",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
