"You are really... a genius..." Negris looked at the dry and hard lich heart in the soul casket, and then at the concentrated essence insect ash liquid in Ang's hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

Insect ash is a super magical fertilizer. The essence insect ash liquid extracted with holy water can make dead things return to life and regain the characteristics that living things should have.

After purifying the essence insect ash liquid through the spot removal technique and boiling three bowls into one, it became concentrated essence insect ash liquid.

Concentrated essence insect ash liquid can not only reverse life sacrifice and save Ouke, but also make dead things grow and make rotten teeth grow back.

And now the lich heart in the soul casket is a dead thing that can't be dead anymore.

If it were like this, it wouldn't be enough to make Negris marvel. After all, the most important thing for undead creatures is memory. If it is replaced by a skeleton frame, even if the bones are soaked until they bloom, it is useless. Resurrecting it will only be a newborn skeleton.

But this happens to be a lich, and a soul casket.

The lich's soul casket is a preparation made for the lich to be reborn after the soul perishes. Lan of the Ice City used the soul casket to be reborn.

Not just any lich can possess a soul casket. Only those liches with money, power, and strength have the money and ability to refine a soul casket.

From this, it can be seen that Lan's previous identity was definitely not simple.

Unfortunately, she was burned to death by the Church wrapped in a holy shroud, losing all her memories, and didn't remember who she was at all.

Du Luo Ken's soul casket has no shroud. As long as the soul casket returns to life and is resurrected, he will be the complete Du Luo Ken.

Things are just so clever. In all planes, only Ang can resurrect Du Luo Ken. Other gods coming would be useless.

But what makes Negris marvel is not that Ang can do it, but that Ang realized so quickly that he "can do it." He, the dignified God of Knowledge, didn't dare to think in that direction, but Ang thought of it at the first time. If this isn't a genius, what is?

Of course it's a genius, otherwise it would make him look stupider, not even thinking of this, Kabadar.

A few drops of concentrated essence insect ash liquid dripped down, and the shriveled and shrunken heart, like a selaginella that had absorbed water, slowly unfolded.

Unfolding to two-thirds, Negris took out the Touch of Gold rod and pointed it at those scattered metal parts.

It was as if an invisible little hand grabbed those parts, and they flew back to the heart one by one automatically, accurately embedded back into their original positions.

Lamo behind him exclaimed: "Isn't this Lord Du Luo Ken's Touch of Gold rod? Why is it in your hands? Lord Du Luo Ken used to sigh that he didn't bring the Touch of Gold set. Otherwise, with the materials in the cloak, he might have been able to refine an equipment that can teleport."

"Materials in the cloak? There are materials in the cloak? Isn't the cloak used for showing off?" Negris exclaimed, and took out the Touch of Gold cloak by the way.

Holding the cloak with both hands and shaking it, there was no change. Although there were inscriptions on the cloak, they were obviously not space-type inscriptions. How could it hold things?

The Touch of Gold three-piece set, the Touch of Gold rod and the Spirit-Eating Monster hat are useful, but only the cloak is not. Negris always thought the cloak was just for showing off.

"Of course not. The cloak is also in your hands. What about the Spirit-Eating Monster hat? Where did you find it?" Lamo asked.

Negris responded casually: "I raided Du Luo Ken's palace and found it in the palace."

After finishing, he also took out the Spirit-Eating Monster hat: "How to use it?"

"..." Lamo was speechless, looking at him in a dilemma.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Negris urged: "Say it."

"It's not good, in case Lord Du Luo Ken wakes up later..." Lamo said in a dilemma.

"What if he wakes up? If he wakes up, I still have to find him to charge a fee. Isn't the Touch of Gold set enough for the resurrection fee?"

"Your charging fee has nothing to do with me. I'll tell you how to use it, and he will have to find me when he wakes up."

"If you don't say it, he will still find you when he wakes up. We will make him lack an arm or a leg when he is resurrected, and say it was you who obstructed it."

"... My lord, you are ruthless. Cover the hat with the cloak, and then reach into the hat, and you can activate the space inside," Lamo said.

Negris was stunned. Such a clever combination? No wonder he couldn't discover it. No wonder it's called the Touch of Gold set. It turns out that it needs to be combined together to activate all functions.

Negris hurriedly covered the hat with the cloak, and then reached... his hands were too short, so he stuck his head directly in and took things out one by one.

After taking things out for a while, a burst of intent fluctuation suddenly exploded on Ang. Taking the brunt, Ang was shaken, and countless residual thoughts flooded into his soul.

"It's over, the damage from the spatial turbulence is too heavy, the soul casket is about to break."

"What to do? So embarrassing, am I going to be split to death by spatial turbulence? What to do? Those guys outside will laugh to death."

"Forget it, lie to them, just say the death breath is withered, temporarily not resurrected, and call me when leaving."

"It is estimated that I can't leave. The soul connection with the Monarch is interrupted. It seems the Monarch failed, so he abandoned the soul network and didn't let us be buried with him."

"It's a pity I didn't have time to take the Touch of Gold set. There are materials for a space gate in the set space. Once assembled, it can be used, and it can go directly to the World Transit Station."

"The grave is too ugly, not beautiful at all. When building the palace before, I should have used the scraps to repair the grave."

"I really want to sing, but singing in the cemetery is too scary..."

"Lamo is crying and wailing again. He has insomnia, making others unable to sleep..."

"..."

The exploded residual thoughts were those remaining on the heart. The moment Ang restored it to beating, these residual thoughts all exploded.

The information inside was chaotic and disorganized, with everything, including complaints, muttering, and grievances. Ang picked out the valuable ones and remembered them.

And in the soul casket, a fresh heart was contracting rhythmically there, contracting to the extreme, and then relaxing instantly, as if beating.

A single heart, in the absence of blood flow, is white with yellow, similar to the color of fascia.

Every time the small parts embedded on it beat, they will release some faint fluctuations.

Ang held the soul casket, turned his head to look at Negris, with a blank expression. The soul casket has recovered, what should be done next?

"There are two ways. Either find a place with rich death breath and put the soul casket there. After a year or two, it will grow a body. The other way is to find a corpse, put the heart in, and after a few days, it can merge with the corpse and become a new lich," Negris said.

Ang retracted into the Palace of Rest and took a look. There was not much Death Breath Liquid soaking Bonehard Luoke left, otherwise it would be quite suitable to throw the heart in.

Forget it, put it aside first, and think of a way when going back.

Putting Du Luo Ken's soul casket next to Bonehard Luoke, Ang turned his head and told Negris the information obtained from the residual thoughts.

"Materials for the space gate? Are these them?" Negris stretched his neck again, reached into the space of the Touch of Gold set, and took some things out.

One or two pieces couldn't be seen, but when all were taken out and placed on the ground, Ang instantly recognized them: "Glowing arch."

This so-called space gate was surprisingly the arch that emitted a faint light when Ang left the Palace of Rest for the first time. It turns out it was a space gate?

There are several such space gates in the Palace of Rest, all leading to the World Transit Station. Only when the World Transit Station is opened can these arches be activated.

Fortunately, Du Luo Ken didn't bring the Touch of Gold set, otherwise it would be even more desperate to build the space gate, because the World Transit Station only operated for a while after Ang entered the main control room. If there was no luck like the Purple Skeleton, it would be impossible to encounter it at all.

However, Ang won't have this problem. With a thought, someone will start the World Transit Station on the side of the Abyss of Rest. Now what is needed is to assemble the space gate here first.

Negris picked up the Touch of Gold rod.

It has to be said that the Touch of Gold rod is a super easy-to-use alchemy tool, especially when assembling things invented by Du Luo Ken. Negris doesn't even need to use his brain, just input magic power and click blindly, because the Touch of Gold rod has records about these things, which can achieve a fully automatic effect.

If it doesn't belong to Du Luo Ken's things, then Negris needs to use his own intelligence, but no matter what, it is always more efficient than being empty-handed.

Not long after, the space gate was assembled. Through the soul connection, he ordered the World Transit Station to start, and the arch-like space gate immediately lit up with a faint light.

Lamo was excited and was about to run into the arch, but was immediately stopped by Negris.

"Wait a minute, Lamo, some things need to be made clear first. This one is not Luoke," Negris pointed to Ang and said.

Lamo looked at Ang and then at Negris, not knowing why.

Negris signaled everyone to come to the arch, including the big cat after shrinking, ensuring that everyone could escape into the arch before the more than ten night watchers led by Lamo and the two thousand undead creatures went crazy, and then boldly said:

"Ang, take off your hat, raise your right hand, and reveal your godhood."

Ang took off his hat as ordered, raised his Luoke hand, and revealed his Undead Godhood.

"This is Ang, not Luoke, but he inherited Luoke's power and the Monarch's Undead Godhood. Now, you have two choices: re-dedicate your souls to the God of Undead, or continue to stay here. We will find a way to transport some Death Breath Liquid in so that everyone's souls will not continue to wither."

Negris couldn't possibly let these unrestrained undead creatures enter the Abyss of Rest. This includes Lamo, who has thirteen night watchers, each possessing the strength of a magic master level.

The one Ang killed in the Land of Fallen was an undead magic master, and Lamo and these people each possess strength not inferior to that undead magic master.

Besides that, there are two thousand undead creatures.

The undead creatures that can persist until now without perishing are the toughest souls among millions of their kind, the elite of the elite. There are more than one hundred golden skeletons alone.

Because of the withered death breath, their current state is very poor and weak, but after leaving here, especially after going to the Abyss of Rest, under the nourishment of the Wind of Rest, they will soon become a terrifying force. If there is no restraint, they can easily dismantle the Abyss of Rest.

Familiar is familiar, but Negris will not let an uncontrolled force into the Abyss of Rest.

Lamo looked at Ang's purple-gold arm blankly, and then at Ang's revealed Undead Godhood, and said with some disbelief: "You killed the Monarch and Luoke?"

Negris fell to the ground, roaring frantically: "Of course not! How could we kill the Monarch and Luoke? Are you crazy?"

"That's good, that's good. Then how was the godhood obtained?" Lamo asked again.

The remaining night watchers surrounded them, their posture was defensive, and the previous harmonious and friendly atmosphere had vanished.

"Obtained in the Palace of Rest. Ang obtained the recognition of the godhood. Now, he is the new master of the Palace of Rest."

"What about the Monarch? What about Luoke? What about the Great Sage? What about Lady Witch?" Lamo asked one after another.

"The Monarch is gone, Luoke is dead, the Great Sage is in the Land of Fallen, but who is the witch?" Negris said truthfully.

Lamo glanced at him with a strange expression and said: "Even if you once lost to Lady Witch, you don't have to pretend not to know her."

"What do you mean? I lost to the witch? When did I lose to the witch? What did I lose to? Why don't I remember?" Negris was confused. A witch popped up for no reason, and she even won against him?

Lamo showed an "I understand, I understand" expression, nodded, and skipped this topic: "We need to discuss it."

After finishing, he walked back and gathered with everyone to discuss.

It would have been fine without that expression. With that expression, Negris suddenly exploded with anger. What does this mean? What do you understand? Understand...

Just when Negris couldn't help but want to pounce on Lamo's neck and make him explain clearly, a flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed through Negris's soul: Could the memory about the witch be sealed like the Monarch's name?

Lamo couldn't possibly make up a name to joke with him. What he said was likely to exist, but Negris couldn't remember it at all.

The greatest possibility is that the memory about the witch was sealed, just like the Monarch's name.

And the four sub-palaces of the Palace of Rest, besides his own Huang Tong Book Tower, Luoke's and Du Luo Ken's palaces, there is a last one, and he couldn't remember at all who the last sub-palace belonged to.

According to this regulation, the Undead Empire must have another existence on the same level as himself, Luoke, and Du Luo Ken.

Originally he thought it might be the Great Sage, but it couldn't be Harvey, because a thousand years ago, Harvey was only a golden skeleton and was not qualified to possess an independent sub-palace.

But now he discovered that he couldn't remember who that sub-palace belonged to. Could it be that his memory was sealed? Including the memory about this witch.

Negris panicked. Kabadar, besides the Monarch's name, even the witch's memory was sealed? How many things have been sealed about himself?

Lamo and the others soon discussed it: "My lord, I can dedicate my soul to you, but you need to take me away and project what I see to them, so they can make the final decision. If you deceive us, they will choose to sleep here forever."

While speaking, a flower of soul fire floated up from Lamo's body.

Passing through the space gate, the group appeared at the World Transit Station. Ang threw Lamo down, let him wander around the Abyss of Rest by himself, and then let people start the World Transit Station again, teleporting directly to the main plane.

From the abyss to the main plane, Ang usually uses the small teleportation array in the Demon Valley, because starting the World Transit Station consumes too much energy and makes too much noise.

It was started for a while last time and was found by the Purple Skeleton. If it is started frequently, God knows how many people will discover it. The restart of the World Transit Station is a heavy news for many planes, because this is likely the only channel for them to communicate with the outside world.

However, it is already in operation now, and starting it again won't consume too much energy, so Ang was too lazy to run to the Demon Valley.

Unfortunately, neither Negris nor Ang knew how many devices on the main plane were detecting plane teleportation, especially the teleportation fluctuations of the World Transit Station's intensity.

Returning to the City of Beauty, Lisa hurriedly greeted and reported: "My lord, the last batch of compensation from the elves has arrived, a War Treant."

Just as Lisa finished speaking, Negris couldn't help but shout: "Only one? What's the use of compensating only one such slow and stupid War Treant? Have the elves also learned to be slippery?"

Negris's voice just fell, the ground trembled, a huge shadow slowly covered the position where Negris and the others were, and a low voice came down from the air, slowly saying: "Who did you say was slow and stupid?"

Negris looked up, only to see a giant tree as high as one hundred meters tilting over. The hand twisted by the branches was holding a giant rock, raised high, and said angrily: "Damn Huang Tong Dragon, you offended me. The War Treant officially declares war on you. Pick up your weapons!"
